Awakening The Silver Wolf

DARIUS POV 

Each time I believed I had reached the fullest depth of my love for Ravenna, she effortlessly showed me a new layer, a new reason to love her even more. In every moment, she proved that my heart was capable of loving her beyond what I ever imagined. 

And so since I wasn't good with skilled of words I kissed her to express my ever-growing love for her. I will make love to her so my body can speak that language which my tongue couldn't. I would worship you so my soul will be bare for her to see the depth of my love for her. She will see that there is no me without her. 

I took off her clothes and mine followed. I kissed her slowly and deeply as I positioned myself on her entrance. She looked up at me with soulful eyes filled with love and it felt like I was going to burn under that love. But it wouldn't be the type of burns that hurt.

I was about to push into her but then a thought occurred and I had to pull back even though all I wanted to do was sink into her wet heat. 

A small frown formed between Ravenna's brows and I kissed them away. "Why did you pull away?" she asked, her eyes half lowered with lust.

"It just occurred to me that I've been emptying my seeds inside you all this while," I said softly. "Without asking you if I should. You could… get pregnant, my sweet. Do you…" I swallowed. "Do you want that? Do you want to have our pups?"

Ravenna's eyes softened and she pulled me closer to her as if we weren't already close enough. "Oh, baby," she breathed softly. "Yes. Yes, I want to have your kids. Yes, I want to have mini-yous running around and causing trouble. Yes, I want to have a family with you. Yes, Darius. A thousand yes to us." 

"Ravenna…" It was all I could muster. My throat was too tight to get any more words out. I lowered my forehead to hers and closed my eyes, breathing deeply to clear these emotions that wanted to blind me.

I pulled away and looked into her eyes. "Ravenna, that is the best gift apart from your love you could ever give me," I said softly. "I will be a worthy man for you, sweetness. I will make a wonderful home for our kids to grow in. I will be a good father to them. They will never struggle like we did. They will never know pain or heartache. I–"

Words could no longer come to me as those emotions closed up my throat completely and burned my eyes to the point of pain. 

I lowered my head to her neck and let her hold me, my tears wetting her shoulders. I shook so badly that it also affected Ravenna. 

I have wanted to be a father for as long as I can remember. I wanted to raise my own pups and give them the love I never had. I had never let myself dream about it too much because I believed no woman would ever want to be with me, let alone have children with me.

But this wonderful woman…

"It's okay," she cooed softly as she stroked my hair. "It's okay. I got you." 

I pulled away from her and stared down at her with blurry eyes. My tongue was still lost in all these mess of emotions so I said nothing and sank into her with one deep thrust.

"Oh," Ravenna moaned as she closed her eyes and arched her back. 

I moved slowly, deeply, as though each thrust was a declaration of everything I felt, everything I wanted to give her. 

I couldn't explain it—the way her body called to mine, the way our souls tangled with each movement. It was more than love. It was a language we spoke without words, an intimacy that transcended anything either of us had felt before. 

Her hands cupped my face, pulling me closer, urging me to come deeper, to be closer. I could feel the heat of her, the warmth of her heart pressing against mine, and in that moment, the world outside ceased to exist. 

It was just us—her and me, breathing as one, moving together, creating something so pure, so sacred, it made my chest tighten.

"Darius," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. "Let's remain this way forever. Never… never leave me." 

Her words were like a balm, soothing the ache in my heart. I pressed my forehead to hers, my body trembling, but not from fear—no, it was from the depth of what she was offering me. Her love. Her trust. Her heart. She was giving me everything, and it was overwhelming in the most beautiful way.

"I'll never leave you," I whispered, my voice rough, and thick with the emotions I couldn't fully express. "I'll never leave you, Ravenna. You're all I've ever wanted. You're everything. Forever."

Her eyes fluttered closed, and I felt her breath hitch as I moved again, slow and steady, pushing into her, feeling her warmth surround me, engulfing me. 

She wrapped her arms around me, holding me so tightly, as though she was afraid I might slip away. And maybe I was afraid of that too. The love between us was so intense, so pure, that I feared it could shatter if I let go for even a second.

But there was no need for fear, not now. Not with her. I kissed her—soft, tender, like I was worshipping her, thanking her with every brush of my lips for the love she gave me.

"I'll cherish you," I murmured against her lips. "Every moment of this. I'll cherish you like nothing else in this world."

She kissed me back, her lips soft, trembling beneath mine. "You already do, Darius. You already do."

The words hung in the air between us, sweet and unspoken, but so clear in their meaning. 

I moved within her, deeper now, each motion slow, deliberate, filled with everything I couldn't say. Every inch of her felt like home, like a part of me that I had always been searching for, but never knew existed until I found her. Her body, her soul—everything about her completed me in a way that I had never imagined.

She arched beneath me, her soft moans filling the silence, urging me on, but I needed to savor this. I needed to savor her. Every inch of her, every moment, every breath we shared.

And when we finally reached the peak, when our bodies trembled in unison, I held her tightly, my lips against her forehead, whispering into her skin, "I will be the man you deserve. I'll love you until the very end of everything."

She wrapped herself around me, her breath ragged, but her heart steady, beating in time with mine. "And I'll love you, Darius. Forever. Always."

After I had cleaned her I wrapped my arms around her, burying my face in her hair. When she had fallen asleep I pulled gently away from her and walked to the drawer that I've kept locked since my mother's death. 

I opened it and pulled out the ancient-looking box, a lump forming in my throat at the sight. I opened the box and took out the ring gently like it was a fragile glass that could shatter if not handled with care. 

The Lupinarian ring still looked the same even after all these years it has sat here without being used. I rolled the ring between my fingers before I put it back in the box, got dressed, and went to find my mate's brother.
