My heart squeezed at his soft words. I gripped Jacob's shoulders and slammed him back onto the bed. A gasp left his lips. I climbed on top of him and pinned his wrists to the bed.
"So, am I not good enough because I'm not an alpha?"
Jacob shook his head. "I didn't say that! I would never say that." He tilted his head at me, and his pearly whites tugged on his bottom lip before he released it. "In my eyes, you are an alpha. You might not be a wolf, but that doesn't matter to me."
"Are you sure?" I asked quietly.
"I just want you. No one else." Jacob arched his back and pressed his body against mine desperately.
“What if another wolf comes along, a real alpha..."
"You are a real alpha. You're my real alpha." He smiled up at me. "I want your bite, your claim on me."
"Can I give it to you as a human?" I asked, my body heating up at the feeling of him pressing up against me.
Jacob shook his head sadly. "Only a wolf can do it. I'm sorry."
"There's nothing to be sorry about." I leaned down and swiped my lips against his. "Wolf or not, I want you to be mine."
My lips crashed against his and my body instantly reacted. Heat built in my belly, growing and evolving until it threatened to consume me whole. Jacob moaned against my lips.
Even if I wasn't a wolf, I couldn't be without Jacob. After only a few days I'd been a sick, tired, wandering mess, and I didn't want to repeat that. If I was supposed to be with Jacob, I could think of worse fates to have than being adored by a man like him. Someone who would throw themselves in harm's way to protect me.
I just wished I could do the same. When it had come down to a fight, Jacob had to protect me and that didn’t sit right with me. I wasn't exactly jumping into fights every day on my own, but I could defend myself. That changed when the man I was fighting was suddenly a wolf ready to rip my throat out instead of delivering a punch.
“Please stop overthinking it,” Jacob’s voice cut in. “I can feel it.”
“Can you?” I whispered.
Jacob nodded. “You’re my fated. I can pick up on some of your emotions even if we aren’t mated.”
“Mated,” I repeated the word, rolling it around in my mouth as if to test it out. “I want to be mated to you.”
He explained exactly what it meant when wolves mated, and I craved it. I couldn’t bite him and carve my mark into his flesh. Frustration filled me and I ripped his clothes off as he moaned and gazed up at me.
“I want that too,” he whispered.
“Well,” I kissed Jacob deeply and he moaned against my lips. “I may not be able to mark you, but I can care about you just the same.” I kissed his neck and nipped his flesh anyway. “And I can fuck you just fine.”
Jacob groaned. “Please, do,” he begged as his arms wrapped around my neck. “I’m dying to feel you inside me.”
“Do you have lube?” I asked as I sat up and pulled my clothes free, so quickly I felt the fabric scrape against my skin.
“Lube?” Jacob tilted his head and laughed. “We don’t need it.”
My eyebrows knit. “We don’t? Won’t it hurt without it?”
Jacob’s fingers slipped between his thighs. I watched, enraptured as he pressed two fingers inside his hole and pulled them free once more. They were both wet and I was thoroughly confused.
“I’m an omega,” he said as he went back to plunging his fingers inside of himself and squirming on the bed. “Slick is just part of what we do. No lube needed—we make it ourselves.”
"Wow," I reached out and ran my fingers through his slickness. Jacob bit his lip, his back arching even more as I pushed a finger inside right along with his. "This feels amazing."
Jacob nodded quickly. "It really does." He pulled his fingers free from himself and stroked a hand over his length. "Please, Leo. I want you."
How could I say no to that? I climbed on top of Jacob and ran my lips over the curve of his neck, down over his chest and over his belly. When I reached his wet cock, I wrapped my lips around it and flicked my tongue over the head. Jacob gasped. His hips thrust upward filling my mouth more as I began to bob my head up and down.
My own dick was painfully hard. I couldn't remember ever being so excited for sex. This was more than sex though. I felt so deep of a connection with Jacob. More than anyone I'd ever been with, he was the one that stuck in my heart.
It must have something to do with the whole fated thing.
The doctor part of me wanted to ask more questions. Figure out the biology of it all but the man part of me wanted Jacob. After everything he’d told me, I wouldn't be surprised. The bond that I felt the moment I laid eyes on him was enough proof for me that he was telling the truth. How else could I have fallen for someone so quickly? All I could think about was him.
My lips pulled free and I bathed his cock with my tongue. I trailed down and lapped at Jacob's balls. His fingers pushed into my hair, nails pressing against my scalp as he rolled his hips and panted. His cock twitched hard in my mouth and I tasted more of his salty pre-cum as it dribbled onto my tongue.
I slowly pulled back and grinned at him. "You're definitely ready now."
Jacob's eyes were half-lidded. "I'm more than ready, Leo." He parted his legs more, an open invitation. "Fuck me."
I didn't hesitate at all. I thrust inside Jacob slowly, sinking in inch by inch as he stretched around me. My breath caught in my throat as heat consumed me, his body so hot and tight and wet that I was sure I would burn up all at once.
"Fuck," I groaned, and captured his lips. "You feel amazing." I thrust in deeper, harder. "I might not be able to mark you, but I'm damn well going to try."
Jacob shivered. "I love the sound of that. Bite me up as much as you please."
Our tongues slid against each other eager and desperate. I wrapped my arms around Jacob and thrust myself in deeper and harder. His moans sounded like a symphony to me as his legs wrapped around my waist and he clung to me tightly.
"I love it," Jacob moaned and rocked himself in time with my thrusts. "I love it so much. This is too good!" He kissed my cheek and lips happily. "I've never felt this good. I'm so glad I found you."
I felt exactly the same way. If I hadn't met him, I would have continued to wander around kind of lost and alone, like I always had. Jacob had given me everything I wanted out of life—unconditional love, affection and peace. He was perfect and he was mine.
I bit his shoulder hard and Jacob let out a yelp of surprise. He pushed his fingers into my hair.
"More," he pleaded. "Bite me more."
I drew my teeth over his flesh and bit down again. Every rough thrust was followed by a deep bite to his neck or shoulder. Slowly, his skin became littered with red marks. Jacob thrust and rolled against me, shaking his head back and forth.
"You're mine," I growled into his ear. "I want to mark you. I want you to be mine and mine only."
Jacob shuddered. "I want that too. I want to be yours." His nails dug into my back and I groaned. "Sorry, sorry, shit," he muttered. "Claws." He quickly yanked his hands away and I saw the sharp claws, but I grabbed them and pushed them back.
"I didn't say stop. Scratch me up as much as you want." I could take a little pain. Besides, I wasn't as fragile as he thought I was.
Our skin slapped together, the sound of it filling the room as Jacob abandoned containing his moans altogether. I was at my limit. Having so much searing, wet, tight heat wrapped around my flesh was almost too much. And I loved it.
"I love you," I blurted the words out. I usually never would say anything like that so soon, but it was true. I felt it in my heart, and the moment I said it I felt relief flood my senses. "I love you," I said it again, a smile on my lips as I kissed him.
"I love you too." Jacob's eyes looked misty as he smiled up at me. "I'm so fucking happy."
We clung to each other as I picked up speed all over again. Jacob panted, his chest rising and falling as he tightened around me. The words were taken fro
m his lips, and nothing but moans escaped as he rode my cock and came hard. I was right after him, burying myself deep and filling him with my cum.
I stayed inside of him enjoying the feel of him as I tried to catch my breath. My lips brushed against his. Jacob kissed me softly, his eyes still closed before he smiled.
"You said you love me."
I laughed. "I meant it."
Jacob's eyes fluttered open and he squeezed me tightly. "This is all I've ever wanted."

Jacob
I couldn't believe this was my life. Leo was more than I could have ever imagined. There was a part of me that thought this was a dream and the other part that decided that if it was, then I didn't want to wake up.
There was a small moment when Leo found out what we were that I worried he would leave, but here he was.
I looked over at Leo sitting crossed leg on the picnic blanket. Yeah, I was actually having a picnic, because my mate was sweet like that. He'd planned everything and insisted.
I'd been sticking close to the house during the past few days, because I knew that Allister was lurking, just waiting to pounce, and I wasn't about to give him an opening.
Even when Leo went to work, I mostly followed him, refusing to have him out there without me. In my head, I knew Allister would never attack where people could see, but my heart only saw Leo ripped apart. I would never forgive myself if something happened to him.
My dreams the past few days had really sucked.
I must have been so deep in thought because I didn't feel Leo move until his arms wrapped around me.
"This is supposed to be fun, but I can hear you thinking. No, scratch that… worrying so hard.” He kissed my neck and I sighed.
“I just don’t want you to get hurt, I’m so happy and I never thought that would happen for me.” Leo’s arms tightened around my waist and I burrowed into his body.
“I may not know what it means waiting on your fated mate, but in case you missed it, I am not a young man, my love. I have been on my own a while, and I thought that was how it would always be. I may be your fated mate, but you're my perfect gift, Jacob, one I never imagined I would ever receive, and I am not even sure I deserve."
I turned around so I could see Leo's face, "I don't care if I deserve you or not, I am never letting you go."
My mate's eyes crinkled even as his lips curved. "You're stuck with me now."
Leo leaned in and sealed our lips together, and I sighed into it. Those lonely nights on the run, I had wondered if maybe I should go home, maybe should just give in to Allister. I'd missed my family so much and it hadn't been easy surviving out there. But, I thanked the goddess that I never did, that I'd found Dom and the other alphas, and we'd ended up here.
My heart clenched just thinking about never getting a chance to have this. To meet my mate.
Leo broke our kiss and held my gaze as he spoke, "I can hear you thinking again. Maybe I should come up with a better way to distract you."
I could already feel what he was thinking, sitting on his lap, and I wiggled against the hard cock pressing against me.
"Mmm, I won't say no to that kind of distraction." I rubbed my ass against his hard cock again and enjoyed the groan that fell from his lips.
Leo kissed down my neck, nipping until I was sure a bruise would be visible, and that had a thought floating into my mind, not for the first time.
I pulled back so I could look at him, and Leo immediately gave me his full attention.
"What is it my love, I can see the question in your eyes."
I bit my lips, before letting out a breath and finally asking the question I had wanted to ask from the moment I knew it was possible.
"How would you feel about becoming a wolf?" I blurted. And held my breath waiting.
Leo was quiet, and I felt the knot in my stomach tighten.
"Never mind, you don't have to."
I tried to get up, but Leo's arms wouldn't budge. “That’s what you guys did for Tom, isn’t it?”
I nodded. “Yeah, it’s what we did for Tom.” I toyed with my fingers. “You don’t have to. It’s a stupid question. Let’s just—”
"You didn't give me a chance to say yes." Leo cupped my cheek. "Yes, I would become like you in a second if it meant spending more time with you, spending the rest of my life with you..."
“Just like that?” I breathed. “You’ve barely thought about it.”
Leo tilted his head. “Why would I need to think about it? I can feel that we’re meant to be together. What else matters besides that?”
I threw my arms around him and sealed our lips together. I wanted all of that too, and I knew that if that happened Leo could claim me as his.
I pulled back and scrambled to my feet, "Come on, we have to go talk to Dom. I don't want to wait, then you can claim me officially."
Leo chuckled, but got to his feet, only he decided to pack up the picnic stuff. I huffed and that only made him move slower.
When he finally had the basket packed, we walked back to the house. It wasn't a long walk since I’d refused to go further into the woods, with Allister lurking.
We entered through the back door and, thankfully, Dom was at the kitchen table giving Lilianna a bottle.
"Hey, guys, did you enjoy your picnic?" Dominik asked.
Suddenly I froze, not sure how to ask.
Leo slipped his hand into mine and squeezed, before replying, "We did, Dom, thanks for asking."
I loved how comfortable Leo had gotten around the pack.
"Jacob and I would like to ask if you would do us the honor of…" Leo paused like he wasn't sure what to say, and I realized I hadn't explained how it works.
"We would like to ask you as the alpha of our pack if you would do the honor of your bite to Leo, so we can be mates officially."
Dominik quietly studied us, and when he finally spoke his words were solemn, and he looked at Leo, "Are you sure? This doesn't have a warranty or return policy."
Leo nodded, "I have thought about it and I'm sure."
"Jacob…" Dominik started. "You know once he receives the bite from me you have to bite him too, one over mine and the other in his neck, while having sex to seal the change."
My cheeks heated, but I nodded.
"If both of you are absolutely sure, then it will be my honor," Dominik said.
Leo squeezed my hand. "We're sure. We both want to be mated, for real."
Dominik stood up and smiled at the two of us. He waved a hand and Leo kissed me, then sucked in a breath before he moved to Dominik.
"Take your shirt off and kneel."
Leo didn't question it. He yanked his shirt over his head and went down to one knee. I watched as Dom's fangs elongated. His tongue swiped over them. He glanced at me as if for confirmation, and I nodded as I squeezed my hands together. I wanted this. We both wanted this.
It happened so quickly. Dominik sank his fangs into Leo on the right-hand side of his upper back. Leo screamed and I flinched, my eyes squeezing shut for a minute before I forced myself to open them again. When I did Leo stood up on shaky legs with Dom's help and he smiled, the expression almost goofy.
"Thank you, Dom," Leo said softly. "We can never repay you for this."
"You're part of the pack," Dom clapped a hand on his shoulder firmly. "Take care of your mate and your duties. That's thanks enough." He smiled at me. "Go on and finish it, Jake."
I quickly wrapped an arm around Leo. "Thank you, Dominik!" I let Leo lean against me as he shivered. "Let's get you upstairs."
We made it to my room and Leo flopped onto the bed. "My body is burning up," he moaned. "This is way more intense than I thought it would be."
"It'll only get more intense," I said as I pulled his clothes off and then my own. "Once I bite you, you'll be able to mark me, and I know it's going to be insane." I smiled at him. "I'm so fucking happy you did this for me."
"Me too," he mumbled. "Come on, love. I feel like I'm going to burst."
My mate didn't have to ask again.
I climbed on top of him and gripped his hard cock. Slowly, I slid myself down his length until he was buried inside of me, my hands planted on his chest. As he stared up at me with those dazzling dark eyes, I started to move up and down, enraptured by him.
The room was completely silent except for Leo's moans. He reached up, his fingers pinching and squeezing my nipples. Every touch was like glorious torture at his hands.
"Bite me," he growled as his back arched up and I groaned. "Bite me, love!"
Leo lifted and I reluctantly left his cock long enough to bite Dominik's mark. He howled, his skin breaking under my teeth. As soon as it was done, I scrambled back on top of him and pushed him inside of me again.
My fangs buried against his neck. Blood pulsed in my mouth. I felt something like a deep, burning spark between us. It clouded my senses and I went dizzy as he picked up speed, grunting and growling as the change took over him.
Leo grabbed me and slammed me onto the bed. His teeth sank into my neck. That was it. Just like that, my cock shot streams of cum out and covered his stomach as he pumped his seed into me. He tried to pull out, but grunted, and whined as he stayed in place.
"Your knot," I breathed. "That's your knot." I shook my head and whimpered. "It'll go down after a while, but we're stuck."
Leo leaned up, eyes still hazy, and he smiled. "I could think of worse things than being stuck with you." He kissed my nose and cheeks. "That was the most intense thing I've ever felt. I love you."
"I love you more," I smiled.
He eased himself down and buried his face into my neck. I reached up and stroked his neck softly. My fingers played in his hair and together we passed out still locked together perfectly.

Leo
I felt the shift before it even really started. It was the smallest things, the smell of the grass growing sharper, the breeze as it rushed past my skin, the tingle in my limbs as they prepared me for it. The change. The shift.
Fur covered my flesh before I went down into the dirt, paws digging in deeply. My tongue lolled out and lapped over my snout. My eyes darted over and I grinned as Jacob joined me quickly, his excitement palpable as it filled the air.
