Madilynne

Kade's P.O.V

“Son there’s no cure for wolfsbane.”

Falling to my knees with Madi in my arms, “There has to be something, anything. Please. We have to try.” I clutched her tighter to my chest, tears threatening to burst from my eyes as my voice broke.

“Actually, there might be a way.” I snapped my head in Aiden’s direction

“Well now would be a good time to tell us.” I said dryly

“She’s not marked. So maybe, just maybe. If you mark her, the shared mate bond will allow you to share your strength and heal her. If it can heal wounds between mates, maybe it will work with wolfsbane too.” Aiden said rubbing his face in thought.

The pack doctor looked at me “It could work, it’s one hell of a hail Mary but we’re out of options. If it wasn’t almost to her heart we could’ve tried a blood transfusion but it’s passed that stage.”

standing up, I moved Madi inside where she could lay comfortably.

I rushed to her room and laid her gently on the bed, “Forgive me, love.”

Brushing her hair to the side, I leaned in.

My lips hovering over the gentle spot, where her neck and shoulder met. My canines elongated and I broke through the flesh of her body, Marking her. I released my hold and softly licked the wound to properly heal. Pressing my forehead to hers ‘Come back to me my love’ I whispered through our now shared mind link.

I watched as slowly the black liquid marks in her veins started receding, she was fighting it off.

“It’s working!” I yelled into the room. I know anyone in the packhouse could hear me with their enhanced hearing from being a wolf shifter. Moments later footsteps thrummed up the stairs to Madi’s room before the door was flung open.

“Is she..” Her dad whispered frantically, his expression laced in worry.

“She hasn’t woken up yet but she’s fighting the wolfsbane, see.” I gestured to her arms where the veins once were full of black but now ran clear of the poison.

“Now we wait.” The pack doctor’s voice broke the silence as we sat and watched the progress of Madi’s fight to live.

I could sense her being inside of me, feel what she was feeling. She was exhausted, and scared. On the brink of giving up, But I felt the flicker of hope deep inside, maybe that was me but it was an ever-growing fire, beginning to engulf us both. My mate is a fighter, I know she won’t go down without a hell of a fight.

“Kade” Madis soft voice whispered

I gripped her hand “I’m here Madi” My voice breaking, on the edge of crying.

“I was so terrified Kade, he killed Katie. I..I thought I’d never see you again.” She cried as I wrapped her in my arms. I held and comforted my mate as much as I could, after a while her cries turned into small whimpers.

My phone vibrated, alerting me of a new message. I opened it and had an unread message from the same unknown number. Miles. Jaxx snarled in my head ‘I want his head.’

Message Received From UNKNOWN NUMBER 5:51 P.M. :

‘If I can’t have her, you won’t either.’

Anger coursed through my system.

SNAP

I looked down, in my hand, my phone sat in pieces now.

I lifted my head and looked at everyone in the room “Find him. I want him alive, I want to kill him myself.”

“I’ve got a team already on it. They’re tracking the bastard now.” My brother said stepping forward.

Nodding my head, everyone embraced Madi before leaving us alone.

“We brought Katie’s body back with us, she deserves a proper burial.” I whispered to Madi.

“And her mate? Do they know?” Emotion laced her voice as she asked.

“Yes, even if they hadn’t completed the mate bond, she would feel her life force leaving us.” My voice carried a sadness for Mya, I know how she was feeling.

“Who was Katies mate?” Sadness and curiosity swirled in her question.

“Mya” I sighed.

“Come on let’s get you cleaned up and we’ll go check on her.” I said lifting Madi from the bed and carrying her towards the bathroom. Setting her on the edge of the counter I hesitated when I reached to help undress her. I looked into her watchful hazel eyes for permission to continue, “Do you want me to stop?” She shook her head and directed my hands to the bottom of her shirt.

Slowly I lifted her shirt off of her, inhaling a sharp breath as her skin was exposed to me. My mark stood proud on her neck, with gold swirling and reaching down her right shoulder, In the mirror behind her, I could see it combining with the Golden Crescent moon that marked her right shoulder. “Beautiful, Goddess you’re so beautiful Madi.” I cradled her face in my hands as I placed a slow, burning kiss on her soft lips.

Her hands finding mine, slowly guiding me to the top of her jeans. I could hear her heartbeat pick up as I unbuttoned the clasp. Breaking the kiss I held eye contact with my gorgeous mate as I pulled her jeans off.

I stepped back, regaining my composure and admiring her. Madi slipped off the counter as she turned her back to me she kept eye contact with me through the mirror and reached behind her back, unclasping the Black lace bra that covered her breasts. Her breasts now free, I could see her nipples pebbling from the cool air. Painfully slow, she reached to her hips, hooking the material that hugged her and slipped them off.

I let out a low growl as she stood completely exposed to me now, Both of our arousal filling the room as we stood. Madi turned around facing me, and walked towards me, and started to peel off my clothes. She peppered kisses along my shoulders and stopped as she reached the spot where her mark should be on my neck. I lifted her up, my hands resting against the back of her thighs as I held her to me “Mark what’s yours love.”

Her eyes flashed gold and her canines elongated, eager to break the soft flesh. Angling my neck, giving her permission to continue. Her canines broke through, heat flooding my system, My cock springing to life and throbbing with need. Both of our bonds swirling and snapping in place. As soon as her canines left my neck I reached for her chin and directed her gaze to me and placed a hungry kiss on her lips. Exploring the inside of her mouth eagerly. Both of our tongues battling for dominance over the other.

Pushing her against the wall, kissing down her body, I reached her breasts as she pushed her back off the wall begging to be in my mouth. Sucking and lightly biting she let out a moan “Please Kade.” she spoke breathlessly.

“Tell me you’re mine.” I growled out. The animal side of me needed to hear it.

“I’m your’s kade.” Her panting breath brushed against my skin.

I reached down between us and could feel the slickness of her arousal coating her legs as I ran my fingers through her folds inciting a growl from my chest. Slowly I pushed the head of my cock in stopping as it met the barrier, allowing her time to adjust. “Tell me if you want to stop.”

Her hands placed against my face on either side, her eyes locked on mine, I could see the need, “I want this Kade, please.” she panted. Slowly I pushed in further, Her moans coaxing me to pull in and out.

Faster and faster I kept a pace as I held her against the wall, I could feel my own climax building as her moans came louder and more frequent. Reaching down quickly I found her clitoris and pinched and rubbed, throwing her into her own orgasm, Her body clamped down sending me into my own orgasm ” Mine” I groaned as a fire-like feeling lit off across my skin. “Yours, Kade.” She whispered. I could feel her soul, binding to my own, now completing the mate bond.

For a moment we both remained locked in each other’s arms, our harsh breathing the only noise in the room. Putting my forehead to hers “Goddess, that was better than I would have ever imagined.” I breathlessly whispered setting her down to stand.

She let out a light laugh, music to my ears. ” It was perfect. We should get cleaned up, I need to see Mya.” she placed a gentle kiss to my lips, sending sparks throughout my body.
