Chapter 86 Yes you may

• Dorian remembers his grandfather talking about a time when alphas used to claim their mates publicly, sealing their partner’s fate with the claiming mark. As civilization progressed, this public claim was seen somewhat as barbaric and harsh to the delicate eyes. Dorian, however, had never given this a thought. For him, it was just another historical fact regarding werewolves that needed no attention. Little had he known that centuries later, he would be doing something similar, not only as the Alpha King but also in a completely different kingdom, in a room full of different species. 
• Kai purrs, gratified by Dorian’s decision. His fingers spread against the small of Serena’s back, securely holding her as she seems to have let him carry her weight. She hissed slightly when his teeth pricked the skin, but she didn’t scream, which for some reason made him proud. Dorian pulled her closer. He tasted blood, but he let his teeth remain there for a little longer than he should have. He could smell his mate’s arousal, which was an obvious reaction. He retracted his teeth and licked the mark, his heart filled with love and warmth to the brim. For one, he is sure that the mark on Serena’s wrist won’t be a problem anymore. He knew that with this mark, albeit he will become a tad bit possessive over her for a few days or weeks but their bond will strengthen. He let out a low growl, his pupils dilated at the sight of the reddened patch of skin, the drying blood on the teeth marks. His. His Serena. His Queen. His mate. His…love.
• He brushes his lips on the mark once again, unable to get enough. He is hard already, but he doesn’t give a damn about that now. The room, the people, the situation, everything drowns and fades in front of Serena’s small gasps and pounding heart. He felt her grip on the collars of his shirt tighten. He feels him shudder, and that makes him pleased to no end. He finally meets her gaze. Her eyes were unfocused, lips parted. Unable to resist, he lowered his head and caught her lips into a passionate kiss. Initially, she remained unresponsive, maybe too busy processing the ritual that took place with at least 50 witnesses, but soon her lips moved against his.
