ALICE

I took a second to catch my breath as I let my hands fall from his hair.

I gave a small moan as I felt Heart start kissing his way back up my body.

His lips traced a path of fire across my stomach, each kiss leaving trails of golden light that the pattern eagerly absorbed.

When he reached my breasts, he lavished attention on each one, his tongue drawing patterns that made me arch beneath him with renewed desire.

"So responsive," he murmured against my skin, his voice rough with barely contained need. "I bet you will fall apart once I’m in you.” I gave a whine that sounded so needy even to my own ears.

I felt my body heat up from embarrassment but Heart moved and kissed me with such vigor that it made me breathless.

I could taste myself on his lips as his kiss deepened, his body pressing me into the silver grass.

"Heart," I whispered against his lips, “Please?” I almost begged as my body seemed to be on fire, the pattern most likely amplifying everything.

Heart chuckled as he kissed my throat before looking down at me, his one hand came up to brush some of my hair out of my face, “So needy.”

I gave an involuntary whine at his words making him grin down at me, “Very very needy.” Dipping his head, "I wonder if I should just keep teasing you," he murmured against my ear, his voice a dark promise that sent shivers racing down my spine.

"Watch you come apart again and again until you're begging.

" The thought was both terrifying and exhilarating.

"Next time," I managed to gasp, my hands sliding down his back to pull him closer. "Please, I need you."

Something in my voice must have reached him because Heart's expression softened, the predatory gleam in his ruby eyes giving way to something warmer, deeper. He shifted above me, positioning himself where I needed him most.

"Look at me," he commanded softly, waiting until my eyes met his. When our eyes locked, Heart pressed forward slowly, entering me with a reverence that made my breath catch.

"Alice," Heart breathed, his voice breaking on my name as he stilled, giving me time to adjust.

"Perfect," I whispered, my hands framing his face as I marveled at the depth of connection flowing between us. "You feel perfect."

Heart's eyes darkened at my words, and slowly, carefully, he began to move.

The golden bond between us flared with each measured thrust, creating a feedback loop of pleasure that made my vision blur at the edges.

Heart maintained that torturous, deliberate pace, his ruby eyes never leaving mine as he watched every reaction play on my features.

"More," I pleaded, my hips rising to meet his, trying to deepen the connection. "Faster."

A wicked smile curved his lips as he deliberately slowed even further. "So impatient," he murmured, leaning down to brush his lips against mine. "But I intend to savor every second."

"Heart," I moaned, my fingers digging into his shoulders as frustration and pleasure mingled. "You're torturing me."

"The sweetest torture," he agreed, his voice strained despite his control. The golden patterns beneath his skin pulsed with increasing intensity, betraying how much his restraint was costing him. "Tell me what you need, Alice."

"You," I gasped, wrapping my legs around his waist to pull him deeper. "All of you. No more holding back."

Something snapped in his expression—the careful control giving way to something primal and hungry that made the pattern beneath my skin sing with anticipation. Heart's next thrust was harder, deeper, drawing a cry from my lips that seemed to please him immensely.

"Like that?" he asked, his voice a rough growl against my ear as he established a new, demanding rhythm.

"Yes," I breathed, clinging to him as pleasure built with each powerful thrust as I could feel the swelling of a knot start as his thrusts became more urgent. "Yes, like that."

"Mine," Heart growled against my throat, his control slipping as our pace quickened. "My Alice."

"Yours," I agreed breathlessly, the word feeling right in a way I hadn't expected.

Heart's movements grew more urgent, with his one hand braced on the ground by my shoulder and his one hand gripping my hip, as he drove deeper with each thrust. The knot at the base of his shaft was swelling larger with each thrust, catching at my entrance, making each withdrawal and return more intense.

I gasped at the new sensation, my body trembling with anticipation as I realized what was happening.

"Heart," I moaned, clinging to him as the pressure built . "Alpha!” Each thrust drove me higher, the knot growing, stretching me in ways that bordered between pleasure and sweet pain.

"Yes," Heart hissed, his voice strained with the effort of maintaining enough control not to hurt me. "Say it again."

"Alpha," I gasped, the word falling from my lips like a revelation.

The golden bond between us flared blindingly bright at the title, Heart's patterns surging with primal satisfaction that echoed through our connection.

His rhythm faltered for a moment, overwhelmed by the intensity flowing between us.

Then he gathered me closer, one arm sliding beneath my back to angle my hips upward as he drove deeper.

The knot pressed insistently at my entrance with each thrust, stretching me further each time.

"You're going to take all of me," Heart growled against my ear, his voice rougher than I'd ever heard it. "Every inch. And then I'm going to fill you so completely you'll never forget who you fully belong to as I mark you as my mate.”

The possessive words should have scared me but it didn’t, “Alpha…” I moaned out as he gave another hard thrust into me, his knot catching again as I came fully undone. I felt him lean his neck close to me, I opened my mouth and bit down hard.

I heard Heart moan loudly as his thrusts into me faltered for a second until I let go of his neck. I heard him give a snarl as I was pushed fully back on the ground so he could continue to thrust into me at an almost bruising pace, my vision started to blur.

"Mine," Heart growled, his teeth finding the junction between my neck and shoulder. The sharp, exquisite pain of his bite sent me spiraling into another climax, more powerful than anything I'd experienced before.

As Heart's teeth broke skin, I felt something fundamental shift within our connection.

The golden bond transformed, deepening into something unbreakable and eternal.

Through the haze of pleasure, I felt Heart's release, his body shuddering above mine as his knot fully locked us together.

Time seemed to stop as we remained connected, our patterns of light merging until it became impossible to tell where mine ended and his began.

Heart's tongue gently lapped at the mark he'd left, the gesture both soothing and possessive.

"Alice," he whispered, his voice raw with emotion as he cradled me against him. "My Alice. My mate."

The words settled into me like a physical weight, warm and comforting.

Through our now-permanent bond, I felt his overwhelming joy mingled with fierce protectiveness.

The pattern beneath my skin had calmed to a steady, harmonious glow that pulsed in perfect synchronization with Heart's golden light.

"That was..." I trailed off, unable to find words adequate to describe what had just happened between us.

"Unexpected," Heart finished, a smile in his voice as he carefully shifted us to our sides, his knot still firmly locked within me. "Though not unwelcome."

I laughed softly, nestling against his chest as aftershocks of pleasure rippled through me. "Definitely not unwelcome."

Heart's fingers traced gentle patterns along my spine, each touch leaving trails of golden light that made the pattern beneath my skin pulse with contentment. "I didn't plan this," he admitted quietly, pressing a gentle kiss to my forehead. "But I can't bring myself to regret it."

"Nor can I," I whispered, feeling the weight of his knot still connecting us. The sensation was strange but deeply satisfying, as if some part of me had always been meant to accommodate this connection. "How long will we be... like this?"

Heart chuckled, the sound vibrating through his chest against my cheek. "Half an hour, perhaps a bit more. The first time tends to last longer." His hand continued its gentle exploration of my back, golden light flowing from his fingertips to merge with my silver and gold patterns.

I gave a hum as I let myself get comfortable as I listened to his heartbeat, “Do you think we woke the others.” I hoped not, but given the way they explained how the bond worked. How they could feel what others felt, I had a feeling, we’d woken them all up.

Heart's chest rumbled with quiet laughter beneath my cheek. "Almost certainly," he admitted, his fingers threading through my hair. "The mating bond creates... significant resonance through all connected bonds. They'll have felt the shift."

I felt heat flood my face at the thought of Chi, Vee, and Dee experiencing even an echo of what we'd just shared. "How much do they feel?"

"Not the physical sensations," Heart assured me quickly, his golden patterns pulsing with gentle amusement. "But the emotional intensity, the completion of the bond... yes, they'll have felt that."

Through our newly deepened connection, I sensed his certainty mixed with a hint of smugness that made me lift my head to look at him. "You're pleased they know," I observed, studying his satisfied expression.

"Territoriality is part of alpha nature," he said, a smirk on his lips. Heart's eyes gleamed with that primal satisfaction I was coming to recognize. "Besides, completing a bond strengthens all connections. They'll feel more secure now, knowing one bond has fully sealed."

"So this changes things with them too?" I asked, curious about how the magical network between us all functioned. Through our golden bond, I could sense a new depth, a richness that hadn't been there before.

"Every bond affects the others," Heart explained, his fingers tracing lazy patterns on my back. "Think of it as a tapestry - strengthening one thread reinforces the whole design."

I considered this as I felt his knot finally beginning to subside, our physical connection gradually easing.

The mark on my neck pulsed with gentle warmth, a permanent reminder of what had just transpired between us.

When we were finally able to separate, Heart carefully helped me sit up, his hands gentle as he assessed the bite mark on my neck.

The wound had already begun to heal, leaving behind an intricate scar that seemed to pulse with its own golden light.

"Beautiful," he murmured, tracing the mark with reverent fingers. "It suits you perfectly."

I touched the spot gingerly, surprised to find it didn't hurt despite the obvious depth of the bite. Through our bond, I felt Heart's satisfaction at seeing his claim so visibly displayed.

"We should head back," I said reluctantly, though I made no immediate move to gather our scattered clothes. The night air felt cool against my heated skin, but Heart's warmth kept the chill at bay.

"In a moment," Heart murmured, pulling me closer against his side. "I want to remember this exactly as it is—you, me, the stars, this perfect moment before reality intrudes again."

I settled against him, feeling the truth in his words. Later today would bring training, preparation, the looming confrontation with the Queen. But tonight, wrapped in Heart's arms with his mark warm on my throat, the future felt manageable in a way it hadn't before.

"I love you," I said quietly, the words slipping out before I could second-guess them. Through our bond, I felt Heart's sharp intake of breath, his golden patterns flaring with brilliant joy, “I know that it is too soon…and I don’t know everything about you…but I do know I love you.”

Heart went completely still beneath me, his golden patterns pulsing with such intensity that they cast dancing shadows on the crystal tree above us.

Through our bond, I felt a surge of emotion so profound it nearly took my breath away—centuries of loneliness, careful walls built against hope, all of it crashing down at my simple confession.

"Alice," he whispered, his voice breaking on my name. His hands came up to frame my face, ruby eyes blazing as they searched mine. "Say it again."

"I love you," I repeated, more certain this time. The golden bond between us sang with the truth of it, harmonizing with the pattern beneath my skin in ways that made the very air around us shimmer.

"I love you too," Heart said, the words carrying the weight of centuries. “It may seem fast, but love doesn’t have a timeline.” I smiled at him, feeling a weight leave me at his words as I let myself bask in his presence before having to return to reality in the morning.
