Lance I lower my head towards her breast and I let my tongue circle her nipple before sucking it into my mouth, drawing a moan from her lips. Bolt pushes forward like he did a few times during the night, and I see a twinkle in her eyes when she realizes that he is near the surface. Lotus makes herself known as well, and I pull out of her pussy to flip her on her stomach, sliding my cock back inside her as fast as I can. "Please..." I hear them whisper, and we start pounding into their body as I let my hand travel towards her clit. I press down on her clit as I slam into her pussy, and as I pull my cock out I release the pressure, picking the pace up every few seconds. I feel her muscles squeeze my cock just before both of us come hard; I slow down my ministrations little by little and I roll us on our sides as I pull her closer to my chest.We have another two rounds under the shower before we are finally ready to go down for breakfast and our morning meeting with Quinn, Cian, Darrius, and Matt. Lakota opted to wear an off-shoulder, long-sleeved shirt to show off my mark, and I have to adjust myself as I see her walking into the room looking gorgeous as ever. She walks over to me with a smirk on her face, and I know exactly what she is up to. "Oh, no," I say as I grab her hands. "We better head down before someone sends up a search party; we have the rest of our lives for this," I say before I pull her against my chest and place a kiss on her forehead. I open the door to the raised hand of Keir, and I see his eyes glide from me to Lakota, his eyes widening as he sees the mark on her shoulder. "Are you.." he lets the sentence trail off as his eyes switch between the two of us a few times, and I pull Lakota closer to my side as we both nod our heads. "About damn time," he says before he hugs both of us. "Dad, Lance is my third chance at happiness," Lakota whispers, and he takes a step back to see if she is kidding, but I tell him that she is telling the truth. The smile on his face becomes even bigger, and before we can stop him he turns around, rushing down the stairs as he shouts that we are fated Mates. By the time we reach the dining room, Keir has told everyone that Lakota and I are fated Mates, and the room is buzzing with excitement. "He could have saved himself a lot of time by using the mind-link," I whisper into her ear before I kiss the top of her head. Everyone congratulates us, and they all remember to wish Lakota a happy birthday. Breakfast is a bit noisier than usual as everyone is talking about us, and from time to time Lakota hides her face in my chest, especially if a remark on Pups is made by someone. I am sitting in the Alpha seat with Lakota in my lap, and I run circles on her lower back with my thumb, just enjoying holding her close to me. Keir has had a smile on his face since he found out the Goddess paired us together, and I really hope he will find a second chance Mate someday; he deserves to be happy just like his Daughter. After breakfast we head to the office for our morning meeting, and Colton is already there with the border patrol report from last night; I doubt that something really happened, or he would have linked me. "Should I say congratulations or condolences, Alpha?" He asks with a smirk on his face, and he is quick enough to avoid my fist. "Maybe you should take the night shift for the next two weeks, Colton. See if you're still cocky when that is over," I growl at him, but he knows I am not serious, just as he hadn't been. He places his hand on my shoulder as he says, "The Goddess made the right decision with pairing the two of you; she did take her time though." We walk into the office and sit down at the table near the window, talking through the report on last night's patrol. As I already suspected, there was nothing of interest in there, and it gets filed with the rest of our night patrol reports before we start discussing the next item on our list."Lance, does this mean that you will step down as Beta?" Quinn asks, and I shake my head. "No, Lakota is our Alpha and she has done a great job so far. We are all handling the Luna duties, so there is no reason for me to step down as Beta, and it has an advantage being the Beta. I get to accompany my Mate everywhere she goes; it is a perk of being the Beta. Besides, I am not pretty enough to become the Luna," I say, and Lakota spits out the sip of water she just took.
