Till Death
Stefan was only really training the Luna Azul Pack for a month and a half but for Amber it felt like several years. She only stayed away from him for, at most, four days at a time but it felt like she was never able to see him.
Every time she returned to him she wanted to run and embrace him but she always stopped herself and turned beet red when he smirked knowingly at her. She knew he did not feel the same way for her as she did for him. And she did not want to crowd or suffocate him.
When it was finally time for the Soul Unity Ceremony he returned with her before she could run back to him. Her uncle and his mate would come for the main portion of the ceremony. For now they had to purify and ready themselves. It was all quite tedious and took two weeks to complete.
[R18]
So for a week and a half they would be separated again. He initiated things this time, kissing her roughly and tossing her up against a wall.
"I apologize. That was harder than I wanted to push you. You just don't understand what you feelings about me do to me." He had pulled back, his hands in constant motion over her body, to speak to her.
It all came out in a rush as he quickly went back to kissing her after he finished speaking. She moaned into his mouth as his hands stroked her body as if it was a musical that only he knew how to play. She let out her purring moan as his hands went between her thighs and discovered how truly ready she was for this.
He did not wait and sent her on a mind buzzing excursion of ecstasy. Her body trembled as climax after climax thunder through her. He even allowed some of her water to splash on their floor like a hot water fountain bursting forth after not being used in a long while.
Her hands gripped his shoulders as she held her wolf at bay and tried to enjoy him with a cool head and relaxed body.
It was virtually impossible.
Her body trembled and her legs went weak as she collapsed into him and he proceeded to pick her up, put her legs around him and enter her with a hard deep thrust.
She howled in ecstasy. A sound he had never heard before but made him smile devilishly.
He felt her throbbing around him so he tried to dive in deeper. She gripped him as if she wanted to hold him at bay and calm his electric thrusts. With every deep dive her body came alive again and again around him.
'I love you so much.'
It was something he wasn't supposed to hear so he acting like it had gone unheard. She thought it again and he changed his rhythm causing her mind to flutter like drying laundry in a strong summer breeze.
And she knew no more until she woke up on top of him. Both his arms around her like he was making sure she didn't move without his knowledge. She smiled I to his chest and kissed him.
She moved slightly and got some resistance until he seemed to understand and allowed her to move.
"How do you always know when it is time to get up?" He kissed her several times before he actually let her go.
She shrugged "I don't know, I just do." She frowned, how did she always know?
He jumped out of bed enthusiastically, clapped his hands together, and then stopped her up and out of bed.
"Let's go shower! We have to get pure!"
She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, refusing to think about the giggle or the yearning to kick her feet.

The purity ceremony consisted of seven baths, meditation, and then a journey into the self.
The baths all consisted of hot water with different herbs steeping within it then a bath in cool water to cleanse the skin of the herbs. The herbs were different each day and they were different for each Alpha, not based on being feminine or masculine, but based on character traits, flaws, and shortcomings.
The meditations came between each set of baths with the final meditation being three days long.
After this cleansing they would have to stay together in their rooms with no outside influence. During this time they made love, had sex, and just plain f*cked everyday. But they also took care of each other. The both cooked meals, they helped each other with minimal tasks without either asking, and they talked to each other about the ransomed and the enlightened.
When this period was over they were separated again and prepared for the next ceremony was to begin in several hours.
They were both washed and dressed. Their clothing was in an ancient ceremonial style in royal blues and blood red. They were made of the finest silks and actual gold capped their shoulders.
They were brought into the main ceremonial room through different entrances. When they first saw each other their souls expanded and soared about the room as if they were rejoicing in the moment.
They sat in identical thrones sat in corners diagonal to each other. They sat looking at each other in anticipation as speeches were made in their honor. When the moment came they stood in unison without any prompting from anyone.
Their souls knew what needed to be done.
They moved to each other and stood before each other in the center of a circle in the center of the room.
And the dance began.
It was just Amber and Stefan. At first they circled, staring at each other like enemies trying to grasp an understanding of their opponents.
Magic began to flow in the room from an unknown source and Stefan quickly moved to her, stopping suddenly directly before her, a wind, conjured by his rapid movement caused her hair to sway. Then it seemed as if they began striking at each other just to deftly avoid over and over.
They sinuously moved around the circle in a perfect harmony. Their feet in perfect harmony with their bodies and all of it seemed to flow to a specific melody that only the two could hear.
Not too long the dense green light of nature magic began to flow up from their feet and swirl around them. First it was one at a time them it flowed around them together. Creating dense swirling patterns of green that had joined the dance with them.
Suddenly it was as if three were dancing within the circle. A perfect blending of werewolf and human soul.
As this perfect blend bloomed a distinct intent formed with it. This intent seemed to be a mix of both Amber and Stefan. It rose tall then fanned out across the room covering everything and everyone. Everyone in the room was made to bow to them the sit upon the floor with their knees bent and their feet being their seats.
They all sat there and watched in awe as they felt the sense of surety, security, and stability for their pack swell within them. This nature magic incised intent became a part of them all and marked them as belonging to these two Alphas and they all knew that it was doing the same to every member of the pack whether they were in pack territory or far away they were all marked with this intent. They all felt the certainty of Star Fire Pack.
And then both Amber and Stefan stopped.
Their breathing was rapid, their chests quickly heaving up and down. And something within the both connected them, grew more pronounced, and tied itself tighter.
It rested in Amber's chest and in Stefan's head.
They stood looking at each other for the longest time. Wonder blooming within them and dancing within their eyes.
Smiles bloomed on their faces and they embraced each other and felt how they restored each other.
The spectators could all stand again and they did. No Soul Unity had ever been recorded to be like this one, but they all understood that something beyond perfect soul unity had been achieved.
All those who doubted had no choice but to accept this union. It was blessed by nature and nature had taken their intent and woven it together in perfect unity.
The spectators left. The ceremonial room would be the Alphas bedchamber for the next seven nights, solidifying what had been created and then combined here today.
"You are now bound to me, even though you do not truly want to be."
Stefan frowned. He heard her and he could see her but her emotions and mental whispers were blocked to him.
"It would seem that Tiffany has taught you a bit better than I thought she would."
She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Don't be jealous. She is my little sister now as well."
Her sultry voice made his crotch both tighten and throb, and when she kissed him he made her know how she made him feel without a single word.
This night they seemed to melt into each other. Neither knowing where one began and one ended. Amber allowed it to bloom in her heart while Stefan pondered everything over and over again.
But regardless how they saw it they both knew that they were one this night and every night.
