ZEUS’ POV
One look at her and I could tell that She Is The One.
The one the Moon Goddess had in mind for me while creating me.
I could tell that she is my mate and she was…the perfection to my flawed existence…MY Mate.
My wolf howled happily inside of me and sought to get closer to its mate.
Our eyes locked at this very defining moment of our lives. Those grey eyes of hers that I have always been fascinated with, had me enthralled and needy.
Like we were being compelled, we walked towards each other despite the chaos around us. What pulled us in was beyond any compelling power or force, it was the strength of our newly activated mate bond and I ached for Zera with every damn wolf-human fibre within me. My bones were torn in between shifting and remaining the way I was. The imbalance within me was sweetly maddening and I knew without being taught or told that it would take a touch from her to soothe me completely.
Like it was a show, like it had been rehearsed sometime before, we lifted our hands simultaneously to each other’s faces – like lovers who had spent centuries without each other. I leaned into her hand on my face and closed my eyes for a second as I relished in the soft zap of fire and electricity in my blood. It wasn’t repelling in any way and I knew it was just what I have been wanting, just all I have ever needed.
I opened my eyes the moment her eyes fluttered open and the daze in her gaze made me aware that she was feeling everything I was. Maybe not as bad and hard as I was feeling but definitely the measure that was on her broke the defences she had always built around me.
‘’Zera..’’ I said, her name falling off my lips and her presence rising strongly in my heart and in the bearings of my soul.
‘’Zeus..’’ She responded in a low voice that was coated with the essence of her gentleness and that was all it took for my lips to come down on hers.
Knowing she is the one I have to worship and hold dear for the rest of my life, I kissed her in the opposite form of how my beast wanted me to take things. We have truly waited for so long for this moment and I needed to savour it. Her lips opened up to me like a flower and I took her lower and upper lips in adored turns but then the heat of our bodies changed the course of direction my silent heart-made vow had intended.
I tugged her closer to me and she obliged willingly and wrapped her hands around my neck. Due to our height difference, I knew she would have a strain in her neck as we kissed and I lifted her up from the floor as her legs wrapped around me lovingly.
My sudden action earned me a moan from her and I etched the sound of her moan in my memory. I turned her to the nearest wall – her back against it and I between her legs and the moment felt surreal. Her hands found my hair and slightly tugged at it, sending sweet sensations from my scalp to my spine and the sensation spread to other parts of my body.
