Helen POV
Justin kissed me until my body felt as if it was made of pure fire. Every inch of my skin was blazing hot; I no longer cared who was watching us as long as Justin kept kissing me, touching me, holding me.
Joy howled in my mind, [Yes! Our mate! Be with our mate!]
I heard no response from the beast inside Justin, but he must have heard Joy on some deep, animal level himself. He stopped kissing me, controlling my head by tilting my face back so our eyes met.
Whispering, Justin repeated, "Mate."
Howls and laughter interrupted my enjoyment of the moment, bringing me back to my senses as I realized I was getting entirely too involved in kissing my mate before the entirety of wolfen society including the Alpha King. Justin tried to kiss me again only I held a hand up to stop him
