Kristof's Point of View
After washing the dishes, I popped into the lounge area to find Aláine.
"Have you seen Aláine," I asked Zara.
"I think she went upstairs to see Axel," she replied.
I thanked her and then took the stairs two at a time. I wanted to spend time cuddling my mate. Even just touching and kissing her sent electrical pulses down my body. I could only imagine what sex would be like. Even just the thought of it was enough to tighten my jeans.
"Patience!," I told myself. "It will all work out in the end."
I couldn't believe it. Aláine wasn't just going to have sex with me; she was ultimately accepting me as her mate. My wolf and Lycan were howling with excitement, but I breathed deeply to control them. I could tell she was nervous, and I didn't want to rush our first time together. I know she isn't as experienced as me, and I want it to be perfect for her.
