***Remington's POV***

Maybe we forgive too easy. But, maybe that is what makes us who we are. How can I be a leader if I cannot let the past rest? How can I expect my people to respect me if I do not offer a better future.

Listening to Lutz was not nearly as hard as I expected. That is probably due to the sincerity that dripped from every word he spoke. I respect the fuck out of Lutz for publicly confessing his wrongs.

His words were earnest and heavy. Every one touched my soul. My heart stirred as I watched his affirmations for Talon. Lutz did an apology major justice.

I won't lie. I will forever keep an eye on Lutz. But, I will also stand aside and let him mend his relationship with my beloved. Talon deserves that. No one deserves that more.

The light in Talon's eyes as he listened to Lutz, had me wiping tears away. My baby smiled like the sun had kissed him on the cheek. I would give anything to see that smile. I am. I am giving a second chance to a bully.

Lutz wasn't the only one to apologize today. Soon after he walked out of the pack house, the next round began. Lyle Pearson, walked in flanked by his dad Eric and his mom Jenny. He marched right up to my Luna and stood tall for the whole pack to bear witness.

He took full responsibility for his part in Talon's torture. He made no excuses. He confessed every disgusting detail of his sins. Then, he bowed before my love and weeped. He begged for mercy and forgiveness. He asked for a second chance.

Talon accepted and gave him exactly the same offer as Lutz. He hugged Lyle and accepted an opportunity to become friends again. My Luna is a god damn angel.

Eric and Jenny came next. They apologized profusely. Talon shushed them. While the apology was genuine and appreciated, it was completely unnecessary.

Lloyd's parents came in offering a different apology. Their's came without their son. That was heart breaking but, accepted none the less. Lloyd is a big boy. He will come when and if he is ever ready.

Mike and Maria offered their hands to help my sweet man heal. They offered everything under the moon to put this right. They offered words of beauty, appreciation and honor. They spoke sorrowfully for the sins of their child. They told us that Lloyd would be attending therapy for his role in Talon's abuse.

They also revealed that Lloyd is struggling with homophobia. They are seeking counseling for him for that as well. He is completely distraught over Lutz Cassidy coming out as gay.

While I find that disturbing, I chose to let them handle it. Lutz is gay. Join the club. It's fucking fabulous.

John and Marley were the last to come in. They kissed the cheek's of my love. They poured words of encouragement and praise into my mate. They spent an hour complimenting him for being the beautiful soul he is. They also offered every resource available, including themselves, to help Talon heal.

By the end of the apology tour, Talon was beaming. Love had been rained on him. I could feel his happiness radiating like the rays of the sun.

The tears that were shed today were cleansing and exhausting. I helped Talon to the couch so he could nap. I tucked him in and kissed his precious lips. I told him how absolutely proud I was of him.

Today has been magnificent so far.

While Talon slept, I worked on a date for the two of us. I want to spend some quality time loving my amazing mate. He deserves to know he is my world.

As Talon stirred, I walk to him and greet him with my warm arms. He immediately jumps into my awaiting embrace. I sigh in contentment and nuzzle his neck. I peck his neck several times before releasing him.

"Baby, would you like to accompany me on a private date?" I ask as I kiss his hand, like a gentleman. 😉

"Yes. I would love that." Talon responds with dozens of kisses all over my face.

Lots of dates in the future. 🤗🤗🤗

"Do you need to get ready, or would you like to head out?" I offer him. It's his call.

"Aside from my nap head, I'm okay." Talon agrees while he tries to tame his gorgeous mop.

"You are stunning, as always." I praise the beauty before me.

I grab Talon's delicate hand and lead him slowly to my stang. He is still so very weak from his self abuse.

I open the car door and help him situate. Then I kiss his sexy lips, a little longer than necessary.

I round the car and slide in to my seat. Then we take off.

First, I stop at the flower shop on the strip, to pick up the flowers I ordered. I run inside and purchase the bouquet of spring lilies. Gorgeous stargazers, Roses and Carnations sits in a mug. I remembered how much Talon loved the flowers from the hospital.

"Oh goddess, these are breathtaking." Talon whispers as he smells the arrangement.

I smiled proudly to cause that reaction from his suffocatingly beautiful face.

Next, I drive us to a secluded portion of a private meadow. We, the Silver Moon, own the small area of wilderness that rests in a valley of weeping willows and wild flowers.

I take Talon's hand carefully and walk him to the middle of the fields. I lower myself and help Talon into my lap. I hold my baby in the cradle of my arms.

"You are the most precious thing in this world to me." I confess to Talon.

His fascinating blue orbs gaze into my own denim blue eyes. He holds my cheek as he brings our lips together as I hum in approval.

My tongue grazes his bottom lip and he willingly allows me to slip in. I taste his essence and savor the delicious flavor. Our tongues tangle and brush against each other. I wrap my hands in Talon's hair and mold our bodies as closely as possible.

Talon wraps his arms around my neck and straddles me. I get heated and deepen the kiss. He moans into my mouth and I gently continue my assault.

He pulls away for oxygen and I trail sensual kisses down his neck to his collarbone. I kiss and suck at his neck, leaving behind deep purple hickeys.

"Oh Fuck, Remi." Talon pants into my shoulder.

I continue laying my marks all over his perfect flesh. His hips rut and my boner springs to raging life. I feel his own cock harden magnificently against mine.

"Remi. Remi. Babe." He chants as my tongue circles his flesh.

"Fuck, I love you baby." I groan.

His body presses against mine and I want to shred his clothes and devour his sweet body.

"Please, Goddess don't stop." Talon pleads.

I lay down, taking Talon with me. I slide my hands in his shirt and remove it over his head. I break my assault and yank my own away in one swift motion.

Talon whimpers as I suckle on his perfectly pink nipples, one at a time. His hands knot in my hair and he moans loudly with each nip to his chest.

"Remi. Fuck. Please. I need you." Talon growls.

I chastise myself silently for going too far.

I pull away to apologize but am stunned when I see Talon's blue eyes shift to silver. That is not the color for an Omega.

He pushes me down and jumps off. I just lay there completely shocked.

He unbuckles his pants and stands before me bare. I growl loudly in extreme approval. He bends down and swiftly unclothes my body.

I lose control. My wolf, Kai, howls in appreciation. I snatch my mate onto me and we start frantically grinding on one another.

My hands are everywhere and I can't get enough. Talon bites my neck softly and I flip us so he is beneath me.

I shake Kai off and capture Talon's lips in a bruising kiss of heat and passion. Then I smell it. Slick.

My mate is in heat. I don't know how I didn't recognize it. His body drips arousal and I salivate.

"Talon, you're in heat. We gotta stop." I argue.

"NO!" Talon barks ferociously.

"Baby, I will hurt you. You will get pregnant." I plead with him to stop me.

But, he does the exact opposite. He flips and engulfs his lips around my throbbing member. I slam my head against the moist earth and growl in ecstasy.

"Oh Satan. Please Talon." I whimper and beg. For what? I couldn't tell you.

I give up and yank Talon's ass into my face. I lick up his slick and moan in deep lust.

I spread his cheeks and lick his quivering hole. Talon hums in delight. I devour his hole. My tongue delves in and I fuck his cavern with my tongue.

Talon whines into my cock and I spank his perfectly round ass. He rides my face. My eyes roll as my seed shoots from my cock. Talon accepts every drop.

I lick his shaft and massage his perineum in between deep thrusts of my tongue into his dripping hole. He is addicting.

Every fiber of my body is urging me to claim him and fuck him wildly. I refrain and instead sit him up to face me. His ass rests on my lips. I nibble his tender flesh before I flip him over and suck his delicious cock into my salivating mouth.

He shakes as I bob my head up and down. I stick a finger into his hole, then another. I pump quickly, swiping my curled fingers against his prostate. He cries out in pleasure.

"Remi. I'm gonna cum. Remi." He pants and grabs my head and bucks his hips into my face.

I allow him to fuck my mouth like a dirty slut. He screams and mewls as he rides my face.

"Fuck. Babe. Fuck. Remi, Remi, Remi." He shouts in a chant of arousal.

His body violently shakes as cum fills my mouth so fast that I struggle to swallow all of it.

When we finish I quickly yank our clothes on and get us to my car.

It's just the beginning and he will be in full blown heat within the hour.

I speed home to the pack house. I mind link Jace and Jenny. I explain that Talon is peaking heat and we need meds now before my wolf claims him.

Once I reach the door, my Gamma and Deltas flank my side to get me safely to our suite. Once any unmated wolf catches his scent, we will have a fight on our hands.

I hear my Dad barking orders to subdue several wolves who were closing in on us in uncontrollable lust. Marcus barks demands and I slam our door and deposit a whimpering Talon in the bed.

"Remi. More. More. Please. Alpha please." He cries out.

I can't stand it. I want him so fucking bad.

I rip his clothes off followed by my own. I lay beside him so as much flesh as possible is making contact

I grab a vibrator and lube from the night stand and start working it into Talon slowly.

He lulls his head back and groans out indescribable noises of need. I continue pumping the small vibrator into his seeping hole.

Talon cums again quickly. Seconds later he rides my hand that holds the vibrator into his heated tunnel.

His skin is radiating so much heat we are both sweating bullets.

I pull him up into my arms and he wraps his body around mine, the vibrator still buzzing inside of him. I take long strides into the shower and turn the freezing cold water on to cool my lovely mate.

I fuck him over and over with the toy while I kiss him deeply.

"Mark me." Talon begs.

"I can't fuck you." I explain.

"Quit being a pussy. Mark me damn it." He snaps.

I move my lips to the juncture between his collarbone and neck and kiss the soft flesh deeply. I continue pumping the vibrator as Talon clings to me like a lifeline.

Then, I extend my canines and puncture his neck as I pump furiously into his hole with the sex toy.

Talon screams out filthy words as pleasure fills his body from both the mating venom and his orgasm. I lick his wound and it seals under my tongue.

Then I feel a sharp piercing pain and realize my sexy mate marked me. My eyes roll in the back of my head and my body shakes frantically. My orgasm erupts like a volcano. My cum shoots all over the shower wall and I groan in divine euphoria.

I turn the shower off and let Talon slide down my body as my head starts spinning and I feel sick.

My world goes completely dark.
