(Connor’s POV)
As soon as the words fell, I grabbed Olivia’s arm and pulled her towards me. She fell into my arms with a soft
gasp.
“What are you doing…” Before she could finish her sentence, I silenced her with a kiss.
At first, my kiss was tender and lingering, skilled and effortless. I felt the familiar spark of our mate bond ignite as my lips moved against hers, sending a numbing sensation through every nerve in her body.
Gradually, I shifted from gentle entanglement to a more dominant conquest. My Alpha instincts demanded more, craved the complete surrender of my destined mate.
Just as I was about to proceed further, Olivia pushed me away with both hands. Her breath came in ragged
gasps, amber eyes slightly dazed.
“Go take a shower,” she managed to say.
Interrupted, my dark eyes soaked in drunkenness held a hint of grievance. The alcohol made my usual
control slip, revealing a more vulnerable side.
“Can’t I even have a kiss? My Luna,” I said, drawing out the possessive title with deliberate emphasis.
Olivia looked surprised to see this side of me drunk. My expression and tone carried a playful quality that was completely different from my usual commanding Alpha presence.
The way I drew out “my Luna” made her heart melt visibly. I could scent the shift in her emotions through our developing bond.
She softened her voice to coax me, treating me like a wayward pup. “Be good, don’t be naughty. Go take a
shower first p>
“Can my Luna shower with me?” I asked, letting my ice–blue eyes fill with anticipation that would be hard for
any mate to refuse.
Before she could answer, I added in a low, seductive voice that I knew would affect her. “Luna, I’m drunk, it’s
not convenient for me to shower alone. What if I fall p>
Amused, Olivia pushed me lightly with a knowing smile. “Are you putting on an act p>
Though she barely used any force, I stumbled deliberately and bumped into the cabinet behind me with a loud thud. The sound echoed through the master bedroom.
Startled, Olivia rushed to check on me, her protective instincts kicking in. “Where did you hit p>
“My knee, it hurts,” I said, looking down at her with what I hoped was a convincing wince. My voice took on a bewitching quality as I continued my performance.
“Now my leg is really inconvenient. I need my Luna to help me shower p>
Unsure if I was truly hurt but feeling a pang of concern through our developing mate bond, Olivia relented. “Alright, let’s go p>
“Alright

A low chuckle escaped me as I took her hand, satisfaction rolling through my chest. “I knew my Luna was the
best to me p>
As we walked to the Master Bathroom, I limped dramatically, leaning my entire weight on Olivia as if seriously injured. Each step was carefully calculated to maintain the illusion.
She saw through my act but chose not to expose me, which only made me love her more. Her willingness to
play along showed how much she cared.
The moment the bathroom door closed behind us, I kissed her again, reaching over to turn on the shower.
Warm water cascaded over us both.
Olivia was too lost in the kiss to care that her hair and clothes were getting soaked. The expensive fabric of
her dress clung to her curves as steam began to fill the space.
When the kiss ended, the bathroom was filled with thick steam. I watched as Olivia’s heart skipped a beat
while she gazed at me through the mist.
Water streamed down my face, my muscles tensed from the heat and desire. My wet eyelashes framed my
eyes as I stared at her with undisguised want.
I could see her admit to herself that she was completely captivated. The mate bond sang between us, amplifying every sensation and emotion.
This time, she took the initiative, wrapping her arms around my neck and kissing me with newfound
boldness. The role reversal sent fire through my veins.
Deepening my gaze, I lifted her against the tiled wall, her legs wrapping around my waist instinctively. The glass door fogged over completely, reflecting our intertwined silhouettes amidst the sound of running water.

The next day, I woke to find the sun high in the sky. Golden light streamed through the curtains of the master
bedroom, indicating it was well past morning.
The manor was quiet around us. Our pack friends had all left after the celebration, leaving Connor and me
alone in our sanctuary.
Connor was already up, but he soon entered the room carrying a breakfast tray. The domestic sight made my
heart flutter with contentment.
“Awake, my Luna?” he greeted me, setting the tray aside to give me a gentle kiss on the forehead.
“Good morning. I’ve prepared new clothes for you in the closet and undergarments by the bed.” His
thoughtfulness never ceased to amaze me.
“Get dressed and come downstairs for breakfast. This afternoon, we’ll go to your pack house and talk to our
parents about the mating ceremony p>
I chuckled at his assumption, though warmth spread through my chest. “So quick to call them ‘our parents p>
Connor’s ice–blue eyes crinkled with a smile that transformed his entire face. “Yes, and you should change
how you address me too. Call me Alpha from now on p>
“So possessive,” I murmured, though there was no real complaint in my voice.
“You called me that last night,” he teased, his mood clearly buoyant from our successful engagement.

Heat flooded my cheeks as memories of the previous evening surfaced. “Don’t bring up last night p>
“Why not?” His grin turned wicked as he continued, “You faked being injured and drunk. I never realized you were so scheming p>
He pecked my cheek affectionately, his happiness infectious. “Without a few schemes, how could I have won over my destined mate p>
After breakfast, I called my father, Richard Winters, to let him know we were coming. My fingers trembled slightly as I dialed, nervous about his reaction.
His tone was neutral at first, giving nothing away. “Was the meteor shower and drone proposal his doing?” “Yes,” I confirmed, trying to keep my voice steady. “Connor proposed to me p>
“And you agreed?” Richard asked, though I suspected he already knew the answer from the scent changes that indicated our developing mate bond.
“I did,” I replied simply.
“That Alpha,” Richard chuckled, and I could hear the approval in his voice. “He certainly has a flair for the dramatic. Your stepmother Natalie and I were just discussing your mating ceremony p>
Relief flooded through me at his acceptance. “Really p>
“If he hadn’t proposed soon, I was going to ask him myself when he planned to mark you,” he admitted with paternal protectiveness.
I informed him that Katherine Rivers would also be coming that afternoon. “The two packs need to discuss the mating ceremony date together. Since Gerald Rivers is abroad on pack business, Katherine is the only elder from the Rivers family available p>
Richard understood immediately, his Alpha mind already shifting to logistics. “Okay, I’ll have the pack servants prepare the meal and wait for you p>
