Talia and Damon enjoyed their current intimacy. They were lying side by side on the bed, naked, and gazing into each other's eyes. It was cheeky and comforting and the silvery glow around them made the moment much more special as proof that their bond reached the next level.

They relished the present while silently exchanging emotions and it was the best thing ever. However, Talia was aware that there were many things she needed to tell him, so she decided to start with one.

"There is a prophecy in the Midnight Guardians pack that speaks about a child blessed by the Moon Goddess who will bring calamity. Axel and his parents believe that's me."

Damon's brows came together in a frown. Talia didn't tell him anything about what happened at the Midnight Guardians pack, or with Alpha Isaac and Alpha Sophia. The only thing he knew was that two Alphas lost their positions and that Axel was now in charge of that pack. But one thing bothered him more than that Alpha family.

"Calamity? You?", Damon asked while shaking his head. How could the kindest person he ever met be the bringer of bad things? "I will show them calamity when I get my hands on all the people who dared to harm you and get between us."

Talia was touched by Damon's words. There was no questioning, no doubts, no fear, only acceptance.

"Aren't you worried that my abilities might get out of control?"

"No.", Damon said right away. "The only thing that worries me is that one day you will realize I am unworthy of you, and you will leave me."

"That won't happen, silly.", Talia said and poked his chest with her index finger in fake anger. "I didn't leave you when I didn't know we were mates. How could I leave you now when I know that you are mine?"

Damon pursed his lips. "True. You shouldn't abandon me. I will be lost without you."

Talia looked at the Alpha who melted her into an emotional mush with a few words. But a second later his mood worsened.

"What's wrong?", Talia asked.

"I want you to tell me who gave you hard time or looked down at you. They can't be left alone."

"You know I can take care of myself, right?"

"I do. But I hope you will allow me to take care of you. I am your mate and making sure you are safe and happy is my right and duty.", Damon said earnestly before asking, "Will you allow me to do it?"

"Only if I can take care of you in return."

Damon's lips lifted into a smile. "I will be counting on that, Mrs. Blake. I want to announce to the whole world that the Dark Howlers pack will be led by two Alphas, as equals."

Talia's heart soared. She thought that being Damon's Luna was an honor, yet here was Damon, wanting to place her on a pedestal as his equal, and change the structure of his pack that was there since its founding by Damon's ancestors. Can he be any sweeter? But there was one technicality... "Let's leave that announcement for after the dark magic is dispelled. Our pack should know about it first, and then the rest of the world."

'Our pack', words echoed in Damon's mind. "I think that I saved a planet in my last life to deserve such an amazing mate."

"And you probably destroyed a few while saving that one because you have Marcy and so many others clinging onto you.", Talia said without missing a beat.

Damon was not discouraged, not now when he had a plan to take care of Marcy. And when the world finds out that Talia was not only his fated mate but also his equal, other women will be nuts if they still feed their delusions of being worthy of him. No one was better than Talia.

Damon nuzzled Talia's nose with his. "There can be millions of them dreaming about me, but those will stay dreams because I have eyes only for one woman."

"Mine.", Talia said.

"Mhm…", Damon hummed in agreement. "Yours, kitten. And you are mine."

He touched her neck with his index finger and Talia's eyelids became heavy. He loved her reaction.

"My mark is showing.", Damon said with pride, and Talia's eyes snapped open.

"What?"

"It's faint, but it's there."

Talia scooted higher to check his neck and she smiled a little.

"Is there something?", Damon asked and a moment later an image flashed in his mind, showing his neck with an irregular light pattern on the skin that looked like an old scar, but Damon knew that he never had scars there. Talia's mark was forming there.

"Show me mine.", Talia demanded and a second later she frowned. "It's a hickey."

Damon narrowed his eyes in protest. "What do you mean, a hickey? Don't you see the lines? Normally it takes a few days for a mark to take shape."

"If you say so.", Talia responded and moved closer to plant small kisses at the base of his neck. She didn't really think about Damon wearing her mark, but now that it was there, she was happy and eager to see how it will look when it was done forming.

Damon shivered at her butterfly-light kisses on his skin. It aroused him almost as much as Talia's naked body sticking to his. His eyes widened when he felt her teeth there.

"What are you doing?", Damon rasped.

"If I bite you again, I might speed up the process. I want everyone to know you are mine.", Talia said cheekily.

A hearty laugh ripped from Damon's chest. He really loved that she was claiming him as hers.

In one swift move, he rolled them over, ending on top of her.

"Did you forget that marking is the sweetest when I'm deep inside you? Should we start?"

"Aren't you just sweet-talking your way into sex?"

"For sex with you, I will do anything. Sweet talking included. But that is only for you, kitten." Damon cocked an eyebrow when Talia pursed her lips. "There is no point in faking grumpiness because I can feel your emotions, and there is this…" Damon took Talia's hand into his and lifted it at their eye level, both hands glowed in rhythmical pulses of silvery light like the rest of their bodies.

"What about it?", Talia asked, unsuccessful in suppressing her smile.

"The bond between us is stronger. I can feel it inside me and all around me, just like this glow. It's magical. You are magical. Mine. And I know you want me just as much as I want you."

Before Talia could respond, Damon captured her lips with his, and she realized that she didn't want to talk because there was no need for words between them. They could feel each other's emotions, and the sense of belonging and acceptance was overwhelming, making their love swell to another level, igniting the passion that came with arousal they were eager to quelch, even though they knew it will never be enough.
