CHAPTER FIVE

LOVE AT LAST

Mia and Lily stood facing each other, their eyes locked in a fierce battle of wills. Mia was tense, her muscles coiled, ready to spring into action. Lily, on the other hand, seemed relaxed, almost too relaxed, as if she didn't see Mia as a threat.

The two women circled each other, each waiting for the other to make the first move. Suddenly, Lily lunged forward, her hands extended, ready to strike. Mia dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the blow.

Mia retaliated with a swift punch, but Lily blocked it easily, her movements fluid and graceful. Lily spun around, her foot sweeping out in a low kick. Mia jumped over it, landing lightly on the balls of her feet.

The battle continued, each woman trying to gain the upper hand. Lily was fast and agile, but Mia was strong and determined. They exchanged blows, each one landing with a sickening thud.

Mia knew that she couldn't hold out forever. She needed to find a way to end this, and quickly. She feinted to the left, then swung around, her leg extended in a powerful kick. Lily was caught off guard, and Mia's foot connected with her side.

Lily stumbled backward, but she didn't go down. Instead, she pulled out a knife, the blade glinting in the moonlight. Mia tensed, ready for the next attack.

But Lily didn't attack. Instead, she held out the knife, hilt first. "Take it," she said. "Finish this."

Mia hesitated, her hand reaching out for the knife. But then she realized that it was a trap. Lily was trying to distract her, to catch her off guard.

Mia jumped back, just as Lily lunged forward with the knife. Mia grabbed Lily's arm, twisting it until the knife fell to the ground.

The two women grappled, each one trying to gain the upper hand. But Mia was stronger, and in the end, Lily was defeated.

Mia stood over her fallen opponent, her breath coming in short gasps. She had won, but at what cost? She had lost her pack, her home, and her friend. But she had gained something far more valuable: love.

As they fled into the night, Mia and Luke knew that they could never go back. They had to start a new life, away from their packs and the dangers that lurked there. But as they looked into each other's eyes, they knew that they would face the future together, no matter what lay ahead.

Luke stopped suddenly at a cabin way out of Silverwood town and turned to Mia was looking ravishing, her skin pale in the moonlight. Her eyes were dark and filled with desire as he held her hands, his wolf senses heightened by the night. He could smell her arousal, and it only made him want her more.

He hadn't the words to say to make to her as she had been his savior, he just needed to be with her all night long. Mia didn't feel any different.

As they made their way into the empty Cabin, he circled her, sniffing her scent, before nuzzling his nose into the crook of her neck. She moaned softly as he kissed her skin, his tongue tracing a line down to her collarbone.

Without a word, he took her in his arms, his lips capturing hers in a deep kiss. She moaned softly, her fingers tangling in his hair as they kissed.

"I've been waiting for you to make a move," she whispered, her breath hot against his ear.

He growled, his hands trailing down her body, caressing her curves.

She gasped as he pinched her nipples, her body arching towards him. He knew he had her now, knew that she was his to pleasure and dominate.

He lowered his head to her breasts, suckling at one nipple, then the other, feeling her squirm beneath him.

Her fingers entwined at the back of his head as he lowered himself onto her, his weight pressing her into the soft earth. He was careful not to hurt her, but he could feel her grip tightening and urging him on.

He nipped at her earlobe, teasing her, before sliding his tongue into her mouth. She tasted like honey, sweet and intoxicating, and he wanted more.

He pulled away, breaking the kiss, and began to nip at her neck, her collarbone, her breasts. He could feel her body arching towards him, begging for more.

He pushed two fingers inside of her, feeling her walls clench around him.

"Please," she moaned loudly, her hands pulling him closer and her hips bucking up towards him, "I need you inside me."

He complied, his fingers parting her folds as he pushed inside her. She was tight and hot around him, and he groaned at the sensation.

He could feel his own release building, and he knew he wouldn't be able to hold back much longer. He leaned down to bite her neck, feeling her pulse beneath his teeth.

"Mine," he growled possessively.

"Yours," she agreed, her own teeth sinking into his shoulder.

And then they were both coming, their cries echoing through the forest as they gave into the moon's power and their own primal instincts. They were wild, untamed, and completely lost in each other.

They lay there together for a moment, both of them panting, their bodies still entwined.

"I could do this forever," she murmured, her fingers tracing circles on his chest.

"Me too," he agreed, kissing her softly. "We'll run together, hunt together, and pleasure each other forever."

As the moon began to wane, they wrapped themselves in a long passionate hug.

Mia realized that she had come a long way from the rejected mate she once was. She had fought for her love and had faced betrayal, but she had emerged stronger and more resilient.

She had defeated Lily and had proven that love was the strongest weapon of all. As she looked into Luke's eyes, she knew that she had found her true mate.

Mia and Luke walked hand in hand into their new life, ready to face whatever the future held.
