Bastien

You make me happy .

I fell backwards onto the bed. Tears sprang to my eyes at how her words pierced my chest. Four simple words had never had such a strong effect. My mate had been sad for years. Because I hadn’t shown her what she meant to me. Because I hadn’t allowed my Alpha instincts out.

So her simple declaration meant … everything.

I was going to spend the rest of my life making sure she never had another moment of unhappiness.

I had once thought that my purpose in life was to steer our country on the continued course of peace.

Yes, that was noble as fuck. But it wasn’t my true purpose.

My true purpose was to be my little Pixie’s mate. And I would show her that every day.

Starting tonight. As soon as I was out of here, and safe, I’d show her. I was going to worship every inch of her beautiful body. With my tongue. My hands. My fingers. My cock. I was going to wreck her with so many orgasms she’d be blasted into the stratosphere.

Stop that , she admonished. I need to concentrate.

Sorry, not sorry. I smirked.

You’re a Beast. Her tone was fond .

I am. I’m your Beast. It was true. My smirk died. Every beat of my heart belonged to her . I knew that she needed to spread her wings and that I couldn’t smother her, but if she was hurt tonight... Baby. I paused , unsure how to express my feelings in words .

Bastien? Is there a problem?

Only that you hold my heart in your hands. You need to be careful tonight. Because I won’t survive without you.

You too , she said, fierce . I need you. I can’t do this without you .

I promise. I will keep myself safe . For you .
