I met his kiss with a force of my own. Our tongues swiping, tasting, asking, begging. I pulled away and bit his bottom lip, tugging slightly before I relinquished it. When the kiss was over, we were both out of breath.

“Mate,” he said huskily.

His gravelly voice sent vibrations of lust throughout my body.

“Always,” I replied, holding his stare.

Being abducted to his world had been a science fiction nightmare, but finding him was the best thing that had ever happened to me.

Teken had my heart, and finding something so genuine in the most difficult and dangerous of situations—as we did—was a rare and beautiful gift.

There was nothing I wouldn’t do to be with my Gladiator… and he to be with his mate and sheleki.

I’d found a partner, lover, friend, and protector in one gorgeous package.

He was truly the love of my life, and I was damn proud to call him my Wulfaen mate.
