Rane’s Mate(20)

“Shit!” Swearing because he forgot to tell her about the lock, Rane felt his dick lock at the base of her pussy.

She moaned and bit his shoulder back. He cried out her name as he continued coming, feeling pleasure like he had never experienced before. Rane knew he could never feel this with anyone else.

As her mouth let go of his shoulder, she groaned and her head fell to the pillow. She was so sexy. Rane moved them to the side to spoon and leveled himself up to watch her eyes close. She smiled a secret smile, snuggling her body into him, and fell straight to sleep. Kissing her forehead, he laid on his back. Moving her onto his body, he wrapped his arms around her and fell into the most peaceful sleep he’d had since being a child.





Chapter 7




Kirby winced as she stretched to the morning sun peeking through the curtains. Moaning, she snuggled into Rane’s muscular chest. She kissed his chest and got up.

He groaned, grabbed her waist, and pulled her back down for a morning kiss. “Morning, little red.”

She smiled up at him. “Hi.”

Not believing what had happened last night, even as memories flashed before her eyes, she ducked her head from his stare, mortified.

He chuckled. “Don’t do that. There’s nothing wrong with anything that we did last night. To my people, we are now mated, married as you would call it. Once we mate, we mate for life and there is no such thing as divorce.”

Kirby’s mouth gaped open. “What! How?”

Rane kissed her. “Tell me you are okay with this? I know I should have wooed you, and I promise I will explain, or try to explain, anything I can, but sometimes it’s hard to and I forget that you’re human.”

Kirby stared at Rane. “Is there any way that I can become a werewolf? You bit me.”

Rane grinned. “No, little red, you can only be born a werewolf.”

Releasing a breath she didn’t realize she had been holding, she noticed Rane’s face drawn in a frown.

“Not that I would mind, but I already feel weird. I don’t know how I’d feel with that added on.” She frowned as she remembered something that she had heard. “I was told that werewolves were ‘long lived’, and if I’m your mate and that means we’re married, what does it mean by long lived? I don’t want to be old and you still look like you do now.”

He took her hand and kissed it. “No, you won’t grow old while I stay looking young. It’s kind of complicated. We live about one hundred and fifty to two hundred years—”

She gasped. “How old are you?”

He chuckled. “Only thirty-two. I’m very young for a werewolf.”

“Wow! How old is Kane then?”

“We’re all pretty young. He’s only thirty-five, but he’s the oldest child in the family. The whole pack is young. Tray is forty, and his family moved to Australia when he was two years old. Blake, who you seem to like,” he growled out, “is forty-five. There are others who are older and came here with their parents, like Blake and Tray did. One of the reasons we think we live so long is because with our true mate, we produce the highest quality offspring. Although it’s very rare, if we mate with someone our wolf knows is not our true mate, it never works out, as we are one with our wolf.”

Kirby frowned, trying to take everything in. “How did you know that I was your mate? I remember you saying something about smell, but what else?”

He smiled and sniffed her, breathing her in. “Yes, you smell like my favorite things, apple and cinnamon. My wolf recognized you straight away, some say they recognize their mate from a past life, others say they look at their mate and know all, I think it’s a bit of both. From what Faith has told me, and from what I’ve seen for myself this weekend and throughout my life, I know the true mate bond got it right. Don’t get me wrong, I know we won’t be perfect, but nothing ever is.”

Kirby smiled. “Thanks, I think. I’m looking forward to getting to know you more too.”

Kissing her forehead, he continued. “Answering your question…no, you will not grow old while I stay young. My biting you transferred something into you. I don’t know what to call it. Faith says it’s magic, and for the sake of this discussion, let’s just say it is. So because of my bite and my penis locking inside you, and so forth, you will age at the same rate as me, heal quicker, gain extra strength, and have all around a lot more energy.”

Kirby knew she must look a fool with her eyes large and a mouth that wouldn’t shut, but she didn’t care. Her mind raced with all the possibilities of these new abilities she would have, and she also realized that with Rane being what he was, he wouldn’t be scared away by her family.
