Chapter 56
Venus POV
“Ginger!” exclaimed, hugging her. I was seeing her after a long time.
Nathan and Aaron clasped their forearms and then embraced each other tightly, patting each other’s backs “Missed you, wall,” Hathan murmured.
“Missed you, too,” Aaron breathed. When they pulled back, I could see that their old connection reignited, Aaron looked at Ginger and nodded. “Hello”
“Hi!” she grinned.
I picked up a basket from the car, and then the four of us walked to the main fire pit where some boys and girls were dancing. When they saw us, they bowed to him in respect and gave us a wide berth. But Aaron was in no mood to dance. He took me to the side, under a sycamore “Let’s sit here,” he said.
“You want me all by yourself?” Tasked as I looked at him from under my lashes.
“Absolutely,” he replied, staring intensely at me, and kissed me on my lips lazily.
I giggled as a blush crept into my cheeks. Aaron had been such an insatiable wolf. In a few years, I knew that Luna Marie would pressure us to have pups, but for now, the best I could do is to get a birth control shot. I had asked him to use condoms, but he refused, saying he didn’t want latex to separate us and that he loved the feel of my pussy on his cock.
I spread the blanket on the ground, and we sat on it facing the firepit. Aaron leaned against the sycamore and pulled me between his legs. He placed his head on my shoulder and inhaled my scent. “Your smell calms me,” he whispered, softly kissing my nape and then the mark on my shoulder. Whenever he did that, I shivered, need pooling in my belly. He circled his arms around my waist possessively, keeping me snug against his chest.
Under a sky full of stars, their light twinkling gently down on the group that had gathered at the creek, I felt like my life was so beautiful. I looked at the flames of the firepit that crackled and popped, casting a warm glow around it. Music played faintly, blending with the sounds of joy and movement, but for Aaron and me, sitting together on the edge of it all, the world felt–quieter.
He picked up a strand of my hair and absentmindedly played with it, twisting it between his fingers, watching how it caught the light of the fire.
I teased him, my lips curling into a playful smile. “You always want me to stay so close. What are you afraid of?”
He chuckled softly, his breath warm against my neck. “I’m not afraid of anything,” he murmured, “I just don’t like the idea of anyone else even thinking they could get this close to you.”
I turned slightly, looking up at him with a mischievous sparkle in my eyes. “Oh, so you’re jealous now?” I teased, though I knew it was true. He didn’t hide
it well.
His grip around me tightened to let me know he meant what he said. “You’re mine,” he said in a serious voice, though a small smile tugs at the corners of his lips. “And I’m not letting anyone forget that. Especially you.”
I laughed softly, feeling the warmth spread through me–not just from the fire, but from the way he made me feel so wanted. I leaned back into him more, settling into the security of his arms, my hand reaching up to trace along his arm.
“Good,” I whispered back, my voice light but sincere. “I like when you get all possessive.” I guess after what Vicky did to both of us, we were still unsure of whether this was true or we were dreaming. The shock of discovering that Aaron was my soulmate, and he had no knowledge of it because of the spell she had used, was unbearable for both of us.
He pressed a kiss to my shoulder, lingering there as if staking a silent claim. “I was like a fucking nightmare when I was Vicky,” he said. “I was attracted to you strongly and then the attraction would get hazy, like I was committing a big mistake, Vicky had me-
“Hush…” I said. “Let’s not go there, Aaron. She is no more a part of our life.”
He sighed. “Okay…”

I pretended not to notice the occasional glances from others around us, some of whom may be watching us. He does, though, He was AGNET
it stared something protective in him, because he let out a low growl.
I’m here. With you. Let us enjoy the moment, love.”
“I don’t like how he’s looking at you,” he murmured, nodding slightly towards a guy nearby who seemed to glance our way a little too often for his trilog
I rolled
my eyes playfully, nudging him with my elbow. “You’re imagining things,” I said, though the faint blush on my cheeks told a different story. “Besides, I only have eyes for you.”
His hold on me softened just a little, satisfied by my words. “You better,” he said with a smirk, pulling me even closer, if that was possible: “Becauseft make sure everyone knows it.”
Aaron POV
I think it was just by some luck that the goddess granted Venus as my mate. Had that been any other girl in her place, she would have got harassed by Vicky easily, and given up on me. There was not a day when I wasn’t thankful to the goddess for giving Venus as my mate. I loved this girl even before! realized the meaning of love. And Vicky had the audacity to cast spells on me and break our mate bond. While I wasn’t saying anything to Venus, because like a sweet little girl, she wanted to move on, but on the inside, I was seething. I wanted revenge and I wouldn’t settle until lavenged her.
Without telling father, I had sent my spies to the forest to track Vicky, but they had found no trace of the foxes. I had visited the dungeons to meet Gaia, and she had been pretty uncooperative. Torturing her had become my new obsession, I needed the information she possessed, and she was being reluctant to give it. But it was only a matter of a few days before she cracked.
One thing was evident–Gaia and Vicky weren’t alone. They were working with a group of fox shifters. Foxes were cunning and greedy. What I could gather until now was that my father had chased them away from our packs, because they were into plundering our packs and were a serious menace.
Obviously, Gaia and Vicky were someone important in the hierarchy, and so they were given the charge to sabotage me.
Revenge had become personal, crawling beneath my skin like acid, and so I was going to hunt them all down and annihilate them.
“Aaron, what are you thinking?” Venus’s soft voice brought me back to the present.
Anxiety of all the months I was without her slammed into my chest. I got up and pulled her up. “I need you,” I rasped and took her to a secluded thicket. Pushing her against a tree, I kneeled in front of her to worship her, to savor every part of my body until I was sure that this was real. I opened her shorts to see she wasn’t wearing panties. Her sex was glistening with juices. A snarl ripped my throat, and I wrapped my mouth around her clit.
