With it came the swirl of emotions that were tied to it. His love for her grew, cementing to last for life. She was his now. He’d bitten her, claimed her as mate. Since she was human, he had no idea if she felt what he did. A female wolf shifter would have. Neha remained quiet, not giving him any clues as to what went on inside her. He lifted his head slightly and saw his bite mark had already begun to fade and in its place was the mate brand, the exact same one that marked his skin. The intricate Celtic knot work was colored in blues, reds and greens, just as his would now be. At least that worked as it was supposed to. And since she healed just as quickly as one of his kind, he had to wonder if his bite had given her that ability. Maybe there was even a chance she’d now be as long-lived as he was, but that was something they would have to investigate at another time. Kiel wanted his mate again. He’d claimed her, but he needed to strengthen the bond that had forged between them.
