AUSTIN’S POV:
I gathered my entire pack as well as my entire family to watch, I wanted everyone to be a witness to what I was about to say. Today happened to be the day that Lucy was being discharged from the doctor’s office and I planned on telling her everything I had been dying too since the day I’d found out that she was my true mate and not Ariana. It was still hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I’d almost lost her and our baby. Even harder to believe that such a great blessing was given to me by someone I’d hurt so much.
The sound of a vehicle approaching managed to bring me out of my thoughts.
A flash of long black hair was the first thing I saw before my mate’s strong intoxicating scent hit me. Her bright blue eyes scanned her surroundings and I somehow knew that she was looking for me. As soon as she found me her eyes did that thing that I loved so much, I loved that I always brought about such a reaction in her. I loved everything about this woman and for that reason I didn’t wait a second more.
I dropped myself onto the ground before her and bowed my head in front of her. The entire crowd had gotten quiet at my actions as everyone waited with held breaths to hear what I was about to say .
“I know what I did to you is unforgivable, it’s something I’m willing to spend the rest of my life making up for. I don’t deserve you Lucy, I never did but yet you’ve proven your love and loyalty to me on multiple occasions despite all the pain I’ve put you through. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect mate, you’re everything and more I’ve ever wished for in my other half. . . I only wish I were a better mate to you in return. I bow before you today in front of everyone as witnesses to me pledging my love and loyalty to you. I promise to love, cherish and worship the ground you walk on for the rest of my life. I don’t want your forgiveness, not yet. . . I want to work for your forgiveness, even if it means working for it for the rest of my life. I want to put a smile on your face every God damn day, I want to be your support and strength, I want to be everything you’ve ever wanted in a partner. I want to be someone you’re proud to call your mate, I want to be the man of your dreams. I want to be the perfect father to our baby and make irreplaceable, precious memories with both of you as a family. I want to see the way our baby loves and worships you just like I will be doing for the rest of my life. I want to experience everything with you Lucy, everything couples experience together, I want that with you. You’re the only woman for me, the only woman I’ll die for and I’m so sorry it took me this long to realize that.”
Her silence at my confession prompted me to finally lift my head and gaze at her with tear filled eyes. “It will haunt me for the rest of my life to know what I did to you, to know that I’ve brought tears to your beautiful eyes more than once, but please know and believe this when I tell this to you. . .I love you Lucy, I love you with everything in me, I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone in this lifetime and I’ll continue to love you for the rest of my life if you give me one more chance to do so. Please give me that chance, to prove to you just how much you mean to me. . .to prove to you that you’re the only woman for me, the only woman I want . . .the only woman capable of bringing me to my knees.” I begged her.
I didn’t know what to expect, especially since she hadn’t responded to anything I’d just said.
“Will you give that chance to me, my precious mate?”
Lucy’s eyes brimmed brightly with unshed tears as she gazed down at me. Slowly, at the exact same time her first tear was shed. . . she nodded her head. I felt the love pouring out of her in great waves, I could feel all of her emotions through the mating bond. She was hesitant after all of the pain I’d put her through but at the same time all the love she had for me overpowered everything else and shone brighter than the sun. The happiness she felt fed my very own happiness and I couldn’t stop myself as I lifted myself off the ground and took her into my arms, holding her closer than I’d ever held onto anyone before. I knew it would take time for Lucy to fully heal from everything I’d done to her but for now I was just grateful that she was willing to give me this chance. This woman was my everything and soon enough our family will be complete when we welcomed our beautiful baby.

LUCY’S POV :
It was hours since Austin had confessed his love for me in front of everyone that we knew, I hadn’t expected it but I couldn’t remember the last time I’d ever felt this happy. I was scared, scared to let him back into my life again as I didn’t want to feel the pain like I did before but at the same time, I couldn’t deny the fact that he was under a spell and at least deserved one more chance to prove to me that he did in fact love me. For now, I just wanted to be happy and I was happy as long as I was with him. . .I was happy all now and I couldn’t wait for Austin and I to finally start our journey as mates together. We’d already been through so much together and it was tie to learn from our experiences and move on. Everything my father had said to me was still somewhere in the back of my mind, but I didn’t want to worry about that just yet. . . I wanted time to engross myself in this happiness I was experiencing right now. Everything else could come after.
I looked towards the door as I felt the presence of Austin, something that had grown stronger since the second that we were officially bonded. I kept my eyes there until it opened and he entered. His eyes immediately fell on me, the heat I saw there had me squirming under his hungry gaze. He gently shut the door and walked towards the bed without taking his eyes away from me.
He leaned down onto the bed with his hands pressed on the mattress on both sides of me, trapping me with his stare.
“W-what are you doing?” I asked quietly, trying to keep my composure.
He reached forward to brush a strand of my hair from my face before rubbing his thumb against my cheeks lightly. “Lucy. . .let me worship you tonight. . .please.”
I couldn’t move, all I could do was stare at Austin in shock. I couldn’t even manage to give him a small nod.
Austin picked me up from the bed gently into his arms and carried me into the bathroom with him. He slowly started to undress me, his hands lightly brushing against my skin causing goosebumps everywhere. When I was finally naked before him he took me into his arms once again, placing me under the shower with him. He was staring at me in awe, as if he was in a trance and I was all that he could see. All I could do was watch him as he watched me, he slowly began soaping my entire body and after he was finished, leaned back to watch the water take it all away. When he was contented with his work, he lifted me out of the shower and laid me down onto the bed. . .completely wet.
He lowered himself onto me and began sucking the water off my skin, drying my body with his mouth alone. I m****d under his lips that was doing crazy things to my body. Without knowing it, Austin was igniting a raging fire within me and killing me slowly. . .but what a wonderful way was this to die. When his lips closed over my n****e I couldn’t help the soft m**n that escaped my mouth as I began rubbing myself against his hardened d**k. I heard Austin’s sudden intake of breath at the contact before he parted my legs and positioned his mouth above my p***y. The moment his tongue reached out and licked my parted lips I thought I’d really die from pleasure tonight. Then he was licking and sucking , taking all of me with each swipe of his tongue. All I could do was grip his hair tightly and hold on for my dear life.
When I thought I could take no more and would finally o****m he pulled away from me as if sensing my need for release.
“Can I make love to you tonight my sweet Lucy?” He asked with passion filled, hungry eyes.
“Please.” I begged, unable to take it anymore. After everything, I needed this a lot more that I wanted to admit to myself. I wanted to be as close to Austin as possible, it was the only was to feel whole again.
Austin didn’t need to be told twice as he ripped his own clothes off, his throbbing hard member springing free. Within seconds he was back on top of me and burying his d**k deep inside of my p***y, pounding into me.
“I love you. . . Oh God I love you.” I screamed as Austin clamped his mouth onto his mark on my neck and began nibbling and sucking on it.
Austin stopped devouring my neck for a second to whisper against my ear. “I love you too. . .more than you would ever know.”
And with those words I came harder than I’ve ever done before in my entire life, my release triggering Austin’s as he let out a mighty roar burying his seed deep inside of me.
Austin continued to hold me close, neither of us able to move from the intensity of our o****m. . .Oh God, how I loved this man. . .my mate, I didn’t want anyone else. He was all I’d ever want.
Apparently, it was only just the beginning for Austin spent the rest of the night making love to me, over and over again.
…………………………………………………..
It was the next day and my brothers as well as my father were ready to go back to the council, they had been away for far too long already. They needed to head back before the council decided to come here themselves and force them back.
We were all by the castle’s gates, it was crazy that this was exactly where I’d first met my brothers and now here they were leaving yet again. Things had changed so much since then that it was almost hard to believe that this was my life now, that my life had gotten so much better since then. If I had known the things I knew now back then, I don’t think I would have ever believed a word anyone had said to me.
I didn’t regret any single experience however, those moments helped me to grow and become the woman I am today, it helped to make me stronger in order to fight for the people that mattered to me. . .for the people that I loved. Made me stronger so I could be a worthy enough mother to my baby.
Before I came here, I had no one. . .no one that cared for me, no one that would fight to keep me safe and now I was surrounded by people that would give their lives for me. To say that I was blessed would be an understatement.
I looked at the people around me, from Austin to Austin’s family, then to mine and back to Austin, the love inside of me was threatening to explode. . .God how I loved them all.
“I wasn’t sure if we should mention this to you.” Ermanno announced.
By the tone of his voice everyone shut their mouths to let him finish. I could tell that he was hesitant to say anything and by the way all of my brothers stiffened it was surely something none of them were happy about.
“The wedding between Eden and Hunter has been finalized, in fact arrangements are already being made for the engagement ceremony.” He finally continued.
Everyone froze, the tension in the air suddenly rose despite being calm just a few minutes ago.
NO!
That couldn’t happen, they couldn’t do that to my sister. . .couldn’t do that to James!
Oh my God. . .James!
I hadn’t even realized he had left upon hearing the news.
“I’ll go check on James.” Maya said walking off.
Austin wrapped his arms around me supportively. “It’s going to be okay,” he whispered before placing a k**s on my forehead. “I’ll do whatever I can to help your sister through this. . .this is my promise to you.”
As I buried my head against Austin’s chest with his arms wrapped around me protectively as he spoke to my brothers. . .I could feel the strength within me grow and immediately I knew, I just knew that as long as Austin was by my side, I could face anything. . . as long as we had each other, we would be okay. For I loved Austin and he loved me and that was all that mattered. We would get through this together and we would fight to save those we loved!
