Taming Her Beastly Mate
Chapter 61

Aken stayed completely still as he controlled his breathing. He allowed her to touch his face that brought a sweet fire over his skin. Her touch was his. And it was the first time he had been able to experience being touched in his Kraken form. He expected to see the disgust in her eyes or even fear. But there was neither. In fact… she looked at him lovingly as if she was proud of him. He couldn’t quite explain the way this made him feel.

But it wasn’t just Alexis. Even the others looked at him without fear in their eyes. Micah and Jasper were even ‘Kraken’ jokes. They were lame but it was also nice. They weren’t looking at him in disgust.

Alexis also is ready for him to mark her. He knew she was never against it, but he wasn’t sure how much time she would need after everything. He was so full right now. He could almost die of contentment.

“Alright, I’m bored. If you’ve seen one monstrous beast you’ve seen them all.” Micah shrugged as he walked towards the stairs with Jasper and Terra. “I’ll be in the kitchen if you need me, Lex.”

“Don’t eat all the food.” Alexis teased, and she listened to him chuckle.

“That’s right. I need to harass our delivery druid more when she arrives with the next load of food.” Micah flashed her a wide grin, winking before he left the training room.

Alexis turned back and ran her fingers over Aken’s face. She watched as his body began to change and a moment later, he was back in his human form. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up in the air. Her feet were dangling above the ground as he slowly swayed her side to side.

“You are magnificent Aken,” Alexis mumbled into his chest as her body slid down his until she reached the ground again. She looked up into his green eyes that were gazing lovingly back at her.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you? For what?” Alexis giggled but his face remained serious.

“I know it may not have seemed like a big deal but that whole situation was for me. You have to understand that since the beginning of time my existence…”

“Aken.” Alexis lifted her hand up trailing her fingers over his chest. “You never had me in your existence before. I’m your soul mate.”

“And I never realized just how important that was before. I need you, Alexis. I’ve never needed anyone before… but I need you. I can’t imagine ever living without you. Lex, are you sure about what you said earlier? Because we don’t have to rush. We can wait until you are ready.”

“I am ready, Aken. I’ve been ready. I’m better now after the day I had yesterday. I felt like my mind was all over the place. But after spending time with my family everything just… everything settled down inside.” Alexis shrugged slightly and smiled. “Seeing all my family together with their mates— I have such a diverse family. I guess it helped put things in perspective too. I need your mark. I—” She squeezed her fingers into Aken’s chest as she glanced down at her feet. “I’m a strong woman. I like to do things on my own. I like to be self-reliant. It’s who I am.” She shook her head slightly and licked her lips. “But—” Her voice trailed to a whisper. “It’s different now with you. My existence is tied to yours. When I go through something I need the other half of my soul with me. Because now I know what it’s like to be whole. I want what they all have. I don’t want there to be anything separating us.”

Aken reached his hand down taking her chin between his fingers. He tilted her upwards to look up at him. “You won’t have what they have. Because each relationship is different. It is built upon their own experiences and lives. But ours will be better because it is ours. It will be perfect because it is us. I’m not going to lie. You terrify me. Your existence terrified me at first. Because I’ve never needed anyone ever. Instantly it was like I was connected to you by some invisible force I couldn’t control. I tried to fight it. I tried to fight it to protect you. But how can you fight what was meant to be together?” He leaned his head down to rest on her forehead. “I love you, Alexis. And with your consent…” He felt her head nod against his. “And with your consent, I am going to claim you now.”

Alexis felt a strange heat radiate over her body. Aken’s warmth was becoming her warmth… she could feel the same heat being transferred to her. He was doing something to her. Suddenly, there was a vibration between them. It was a low hum, but she could feel it between her ears. The heat grew hotter and more intense with each passing second. And then it was at its peak. Her eyes widened in surprise as she felt something warm trickle down her neck. She lifted her hand to her throat and her fingers came away bloody. She glanced up at him and he smiled down at her. He never even touched her neck. She looked up at him with confusion as she touched his cheek. His brows rose as she brought her hand closer to his neck. Her eyes widened as she noticed b***d trickling down his neck as well. She tilted her head to get a better look and soon she realized what she was looking at. She felt her neck again as she looked at his. It was an eight-pointed star. The same eight-pointed star mark was on both of their necks. A beautiful display of uniting marks between them. So, this is how he gives his mark to her. She would be giving him her mark in a different way…

She leaned her head to the side and met his eyes again. She could feel herself being intertwined with Aken. A rush of warmth embraced her as her body relaxed getting what it needed.

“I’m yours,” Alexis whispered as she lifted her hand and reached up to touch the mark on Aken’s neck. She felt her entire body heat up with the contact. She lifted up on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against his. “Mine.” She whispered it again as their lips crashed together. Her hands lifted to wrap around his shoulders as she deepened the k**s. Her fingers dug into his flesh as she clawed at him. Her nails raked down over his body as her tongue tangled with his.

She didn’t hold anything back. She poured every bit of her love, her passion, and her soul into it. She could feel his lips curve upwards into a smile as he kissed her back. He growled pleasurably against her lips as they lost themselves in one another.

“Mine.” He whispered, his voice was deep and husky. His free arm wrapped around her waist pulling her closer to him. He lifted her off the ground as he deepened the k**s.

The air around them shifted. Alexis looked for a second to see they were back in their bedroom from this morning. And the maddening kissing continued. He walked forward until they both tumbled onto the bed. He pulled away panting as he stared down at her. His hand came up to curl around her neck as he pushed up her shirt. She met his gaze as she pulled her shirt over her head tossing it to the side. Her lips parted as he started trailing k****s down her collarbone and down her neck. His lips sucked on the same spot she had been bleeding but was now a healed mark. He knew how their mark would release pleasurable tingles. And feeling her body arch into his he knew she was feeling it.

He then continued his path downwards. She tilted her head away giving him better access to her neck. His lips trailed from the neck down to her chest. He reached behind her back and slowly unclasped her bra. He threw the garment to the side and moved his lips over her now uncovered chest. She ran her fingers through his hair enjoying the electrifying surges of pleasure he was bringing her. The sensations shot through her body. Goosebumps broke out all over her skin.

His lips continued their downwards journey trailing k****s over her stomach. His hands moved to the hem of her pants, and he quickly unbuttoned them. He yanked them off her body as she lifted her h**s to help him. Her cheeks flushed as she felt his hand slip to her inner thigh. “Mine.” He whispered as he shifted his hand and began rubbing circles over her mound. There was a possessive urgency inside of him wanting to explore her. She now bore his mark. And he needed to pleasure her. He wanted to hear her sweet soft m***s. She accepted him. She was his everything. And he wanted to show her that.

He lifted his eyes up to her as he left her chest. He continued his downward journey as he peppered her body with light k****s. Her heart started beating faster as she watched his lips trail further and further down her body.

He pushed her leg up towards her chest as he trailed k****s down past her stomach. Her head tilted back against the bed as she felt him flick his warm tongue over her skin in a lazy pattern. Her fingers curled into his hair as pleasure began to course through her body. It was like her nerves were on fire. In her lifetime she had never lost herself like this before. Aken took her to places she had never been before. But she had always known this is what she wanted. She always knew she wanted a man who could make her feel like this. She needed Aken. Her fingers reached down and squeezed his hair as she arched into his teasing tongue.

“Mmmm… Aken.” She pleaded in a quiet m**n. Her thighs trembled as she felt him blow a hot breath over her skin. He then began to hum against her as he rubbed the top of her mound in circles. She gasped as her body trembled as waves of pleasure washed over her. She tightened her body around him her thighs squeezed his head in place.

Her mind was still delirious with pleasure but there was something that she had to do. Something that was now her turn. She was going to place her own mark on Aken on the other side of his neck. She wasn’t sure which mark would come forward between her beasts… but she felt the drive stirring inside of her.

As Aken discarded his clothes she sat up to her knees. He knelt in front of her on the bed and she pressed his shoulders to lie down. She straddled over top of him and watched his dark eyes looking over her body. She slowly eased herself onto his e******n and began to move against him.

He gripped her h**s as she rocked up and down on him. His eyes closed as he enjoyed the rhythm she set. She leaned forward placing her hands on his shoulders as she increased her pace. Her breasts bounced as she picked up speed. She leaned forward and took his bottom l*p into her mouth sucking on it as she moved. Aken lifted his h**s to meet hers thrust for thrust. She could feel him growing harder inside of her. She gripped his shoulders tighter as her head tilted back. They were both getting close.

She leaned forward and moved her head to his neck. Her eyes flickered in color as her beasts struggled for the marking dominance. Her feral instincts raged for her to claim her mate. She pressed her lips against his neck and her fangs sank inside of him as she sucked on his skin. Her body was heating up from her o****m. Her inner muscles were beginning to spasm.

Aken let out a low growl of pleasure as Alexis pushed her fangs into him. A mixture of a sharp prick and a burning sensation was being pushed into his neck. That was all driving him closer to the edge. Aken moved his hand to her waist as he controlled their motions.

She felt him grow harder inside of her and suddenly she came apart. She cried out in pleasure as a wave of heat came over her. Her body twitched as she heard Aken let out his own hoarse cry as he stiffened against her.

She sagged against his chest leaning against his perspired body. She felt his hand rubbing over her body as she opened her eyes lazily to look at her mark. Her lips pulled up in a crooked smile as she closed her eyes. She felt Aken shift her body off of him and to the bed where he spooned in cocooning her in his arms.

On one side he had the star of their joint mark and on the other side of his neck was her own mark. The mark of both her wolf and her dragon.

“I love you, Aken,” Alexis whispered out allowing exhaustion to blanket her.

“Mine…” He kissed her damp hair and buried his nose in her scent. “I’ll always love you. Forever and for always.”
