Chapter 82 Chapter 82 There was never any judgment or horror with Ava. Never anything except total acceptance so much so that she'd not only accepted him as he was but the position of Beta female as well. She'd fully embraced it, happily took on the responsibilities, and even trained with him, Eli, and the other enforcers every day to keep fit and sharp. He wasn't sure he deserved the acceptance she offered, but he selfishly wanted it anyway. The truth was that, even if she had tried to pull away from him, Raze wouldn't have let it happen.

Even though he'd have understood it, he wouldn't have let her go. He couldn't-not now, not ever. She was too much a part of him, too vital to him; an anchor he hadn't known he needed but now knew that he couldn't exist without. His wolf too was a total goner-he adored Ava. She was theirs, and God help anyone who ever attempted to cause her harm. Raze would slaughter them without blinking, and he wouldn't miss a second of sleep over it. He understood now what his Alpha had meant when he once said that every emotion was magnified when it came to mates.

Adoration, protectiveness, respect, tenderness, hunger, jealousy, possessiveness-they were all tied up in what he felt for Ava and were so unbelievably intense, because the mating bond amplified everything. And Raze knew there wasn't a damn thing he wouldn't do to protect that bond, to keep this person who was and always would be more important to him than anything else. Spotting him, she gave him a smile that never failed to make his cock begin to stand to attention. "Coffee?" "Do you really need to ask?" Pulling her close, Raze gently mashed his lips with hers.

He thrust his tongue inside, tasting and teasing. Wanting that unique scent that was all Ava settled in his system, he buried his face in the crook of her neck. "You smell too good. Exotic and tasty and mine." Her blush made him smile. She could take an insult with a bored snort, could take a hit without a flinch, but a compliment? Too much for his little Seer to process. "You smell better. Like oak bark, Brazilian coffee beans, and seriously hot sex." Chuckling, he slid his hands down to cup that ass he loved. "Perfect." She winced slightly.

"A little sore?" When he'd bent her over the sofa the night before, he'd spanked her a couple of times. Of course, his little Seer hadn't been too pleased about that-she'd cursed and clawed him. So he'd spanked her again. She narrowed eyes that were glinting with amusement. "No need to look smug. And get your hands off my ass." "How many times have I gotta tell you, baby? It's my ass." He let one finger slip gently between her ass cheeks, hating that her jeans acted as a barrier.
