Damian’s POV
“Hi, wolf,” Marlie said in a soft, sweet voice. Instantly Xavier pushed for control and I gave in, letting him have the chance to speak to our mate. I knew it would have to happen sooner or later, so I figured I should go ahead and give him the chance now so that he wouldn't be bothering me throughout the entire ceremony.
“Mate,” He spoke gently as he pulled her to our chest, inhaling her sweet scent. I could feel how much he wanted her and it made me uncomfortable with not having control. It had been a while since I last let Xavier come forward while we were in our human form, and I wasn't sure what he would do.
“W-what’s your name?” Marlie asked him, anxiety lacing her voice.
“Xavier,” he told her, pulling her back to look into her eyes. “Why are you afraid of me, mate?”
