Casey’s P.O.V
After dinner we drove back home and the whole drive back I had one question on my mind. Should I accept Kirk as my mate or not? He was my second chance mate and so far everything that he showed me told me that he was a good person, that he would treat me right and love me. He was nothing like Kevin and the more time I spent with him the more I realised that. Kirk parked the car out front of the pack house and quickly got out, coming round to my side and opening the door for me. I looked into his eyes, realising that I had already made my decision in my heart, it just took my head a little longer to catch up.
“Are you alright?” Kirk asked and all I could do was nod and smile at him.
“I am, but I have made a decision about us.” I replied and he suddenly looked worried.
“I, Casey Cross, accept you, Kirk Berry, as my mate for life.” I said and his eyes lit up.
“I, Kirk Berry, accept you, Casey Cross, as my mate for life.” Kirk said, then leaned down and softly kissed me.
“You’re all mine, my mate, my life.” Kirk whispered, making me shiver with pleasure and happiness at the sound of him calling me his mate and life. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me into the pack house, straight up the stairs and to his room. He opened the door and kicked it shut, locking it behind him and then I unwrapped my legs from around him and slid down his body, until my feet were firmly placed on the floor. He stood there looking into my eyes and my arms went around his neck, pulling him closer. I gently kissed him and felt his hands at the bottom of my top, slowly lifting it up. I broke the kiss and pulled away slightly, raising my arms as he took my top off. I returned the favour and stripped him of his top, then trailed kisses down his chest and back up to his neck. I smiled as I pecked his lips again and we slowly started to undress each other, all the time keeping eye contact.
Kirk’s P.O.V
We both knew that neither of us had to take it easy with each other as neither of us were virgins, but it had been a while for both of us. I wanted her ever since the first moment I knew she was my mate and now I was thankful that she felt the same way. I picked her up and her legs wrapped around my waist again as I carried to my bed. I carefully laid her down and got on top of her. My hands caressed up and down her body, exploring every inch of her as she did the same. My hands went from her thighs to her breasts and I leaned in, sucking hard on her n*****s. Hearing the way she moaned drove me crazy and I couldn’t wait to hear her screaming my name. I couldn’t take it anymore and shoved my rock hard c**k into her. Her back arched up, as she moaned even louder and I groaned at the warm feeling of her wrapped around my d**k. I was so glad the walls were sound proof because she was so loud and I loved every second of it. I thrust in and out of her as she met each of my thrusts, driving me even crazier for her. I kissed and sucked on her neck until I found the spot where I was going to mark her.
“Do it. Mark me.” Casey moaned out and I didn’t need to be told twice. I sunk my canines into her neck, marking her as mine and she did the same to me. We both felt it as our power went into each other, sealing our bond and making us one. We both pulled our canines out and licked each other's fresh marks, healing them and sending us both over the edge. We both reached our climax, screaming and moaning each other's names and when we were done we laid side by side.
“Kirk, I want to tell you this and I don’t want you to interrupt me until I’ve finished. In my old pack I was a fighter and here I work in the hospital, but I know how to defend myself. So I was thinking that maybe I could train and help train the others. I don’t want to be hiding out all the time, waiting and thinking that some crazy person is coming to get me.” Casey said, slightly panting.
“My fearless mate, I hope you never change and I love that you’re this way. I have a week off now, so we can train together. We can be a strong couple.” I replied and Casey looked up at me, smiling.
“I would love that.” Casye said and then she smirked.
“Round two?” Casey asked, making me chuckle as I rolled back on top of her.
Star’s P.O.V
National and I were outside in the morning, waiting for a young woman to arrive. She was going to put her mate’s sword in the museum and I knew it was going to be hard for her since she was only mated to him for a short time before a war started and he was poisoned. National and I both knew what it was like to lose our first mates to another, so we both felt her pain. I was glad that she didn’t come on her own and brought her mate's sister with her. We showed them where the museum is and left them to look around and process what they were doing, putting her mate and her brother to rest. After a few hours they came back out and both of them looked exhausted and emotionally overwhelmed.
“Are you hungry? We have food for you if you are, because I know it took a bit longer for you to get here.” I asked and they both nodded.
“We could eat, thank you for offering.” Hope replied and we both nodded, leading them to the pack house. We all sat at the table and ate, having our fill of steak, shrimp and baked potatoes. We all talked happily until the conversation came up about our mates and both National and myself told Hope and Kimmie what happened to our first mates. Kimmie talked about her mate Brad, making us all laugh when she told us some of the stupid things he had done to impress her or be romantic. I told them about how hard it was to accept National at first and how I finally came around to the idea, how we helped each other heal.
“Thank you so much for the lunch, it was very delicious. I hope you will come visit me one day, so I can repay your hospitality.” Hope said and my eyes lit up. I loved making new friends and Hope and Kimmie were lovely people.
“I would love to.” I replied and National smiled, holding my hand.
“We would love to come visit, how about in three month’s time?” National asked.
“I’ll be waiting, just give me a call to let me know you're on your way and I’ll have a room ready for you as well, just in case you get tired.” Hope replied and they both nodded.
“Sounds like a plan, until then my new friends.” I said, smiling.
“Well, we must be on our way, we don't want our pack to start worrying.” Kimmie said, as we both stood up. National and I walked Kimmie and Hope back to the SUV and hugged them as we said our goodbyes and watched as they left our territory and headed back home.
“Did you smell that? Her second chance mate was here.” I asked, looking up at National and he smiled.
“Of course he was, but she’s mourning right now and he knows that she isn’t ready, but they will come together in time.” National replied, kissing my forehead.
“Yeah, you’re right. Speaking of second chances, I see that Kirk and Casey made it home last night and I have a feeling they hit it off due to the power surge last night.” I said and we both laughed as we headed back inside the pack house.
