bonds

"It's everywhere in the air. His mate's scent. They've been here, all over the place. It's faint, but there is no mistaking."

"His wolf is restless in him; it wants nothing more than to go after that smell, to find their mate right away."

"Shit." "He mutters under his breath as he sniffs the air, trying to find them..."

"He follows the scent to the garden and ... there they are, alone."

"Mine. My mate." "He growls as he approaches."

<As I notice Leaf looking up towards me, my heart races, and my eyes widen.>

""My mate seems to feel our connection too,"" "I growl softly as I inhale her scent more deeply, savoring the way it makes my body react."

"You smell amazing. Tell me, are you spoken for?" "I ask, my eyes narrowing with curiosity."

My wolf whimpers at the sound of her soft whine.

""Good. That means you're mine,"" "I say with a low growl, taking a step closer to her and inhaling her scent again, already feeling the pull of desire building in my chest."

""I can't seem to stay away from you. I want to mark you as mine and keep you by my side always,"" "I said with a possessive edge to my voice, my eyes locked onto hers."

<As I hear her begging, my eyes darken with lust and possessiveness.>

""You're so beautiful when you beg,"" "I said, taking another step closer to observe her more closely."

""I'll give you everything that is mine as your Alpha and mate. But I need to know that you won't run. You need to submit to me and allow me to take care of you,"" "I explain, knowing how important submission is to werewolves."

"Do you understand, Leaf?" "I ask with a growl, my eyes locking onto hers, waiting for her response."

""Good,"" "I said, my eyes softening a bit as I saw the desire in her eyes. "Then we should start our bond immediately. Are you ready to be marked as mine?""

<"My wolf growls in anticipation, ready to claim and bond with her>"

"<Yes. She's ready,>" "I thought with satisfaction, my eyes locking onto hers as I took another step closer."

""Then let me show you how much you mean to me,"" "I said in a deep growl as I reached out to take her hand. I brought it close to my lips, pressing a warm, wet kiss onto her skin before directing it towards my neck."

""Bite me, Leaf. Mark me as yours and bond with me forever,"" "I say with a mixture of lust and need in my voice."

I let out a low, guttural growl as I felt the sharpness of her teeth on my neck. I bite down on hers, hard enough to leave a mark but not to cause any harm, feeling her blood trickle into my mouth.

The bond formed instantly as our blood combined, the sensation powerful and electric. It's like our hearts beat as one, our minds completely connected in this moment.

As I lifted my head, my eyes locked onto hers, my gaze intense with emotions. ""You're mine now, Leaf. And I'm yours. Nothing can tear us apart.""
