Chapter 39

His mate is spectacular. In the many galaxies he has seen, he has never viewed such a beautiful creature; she is all his. Brax flexes his fingers to steady his hand as he holds Parker’s hand within his. He loves the contrasting blue color of his hand to the peachy light color of her skin.

“Parker Wilson, will you have me, Brax, as your mate?” Brax is planning to say more but is stunned, and his rehearsed speech flies from his mind. He yearns for her answer, they have accepted one another in private, but this is a public claiming a public declaration.

As Parker takes Brax’s hand, both of the marks on their necks light up. Their melding marks manifest themselves, indicating their bond's increasing bond and compatibility growth.

Brax takes off his tunic to show all of Arcturia the life marks on his body. With Parker’s touch, the intricate designs on his body light up, signifying their melding.
