Cedrick's POV

Finally!

She was MINE!

I didn't care that I didn't have real intercourse with her. She'd suffered enough trauma for me to just take her. I wanted her to remember pleasure with me. And as luck would have it, it was enough for my wolf to mark her. Not that I had to convince him or lure him out.

She said 'mark' and he was ready to go.

I think he/we have been since we first met her. For an alpha to mark a mate was like a constant hunt....
