Cody's POV

Heat travels up my body as pleasure rolls over me, every touch and lick that James delivers driving me insane.

I've never felt anything like this before.

Never thought there was anything like this.

I gasp as James' tongue flicks out to lick my nipple before returning between my legs. My hands are fisted in his hair as he wets my hole, my body shivering uncontrollably from the force of bliss his mouth holds, pulling him in and pushing him away all at once.

He pulls away, returning to hovering over me, my legs wrapped around his waist as he positions his cock at my fluttering hole. His brown eyes meet mine, intense and intimate, consuming, exhilarating.

"I love you." He tells me. And I believe him, Celeste, I believe him. The hope he so delicately had placed in my hands and encouraged me to hold to my chest has sparked into a joy I have never even heard of. To have fallen for him, day by day, step by step only to have that love confirmed in the end is something I never even dreamed of having.

This precious gift handed to me by Celeste herself will always be the proof I needed to know I wasn't meant to die that day after all.

"I love you, too." I whisper, then his lips are on mine.

The kiss is slow, soft, like the way we started, gentle, searching, his cock slowly pushing forward causing me to hiss at the pain, though I don't tell him to stop. He shifts his hips back and forth, sliding deeper and depose with every thrust until he's fully in me. He's panting, the veins in his arm bulging from the way he's gripping the pillows on either side of my head, his eyes loving, though hungry all the same. My body answers to that hungry, my hips thrusting slightly upwards, a shock of pleasure among the dimming pain making me do it again.

This time James moves with me, our moans and swears filling the room along with the smell of our sweat, the unfiltered smell of him drenched in arousal almost intoxicating.

He pauses for a moment before sitting up onto his knees, his hands reaching for my hips, tilting my ass upward, sliding a pillow underneath to accommodate.

Though the angle is deeper it's not as forced, as soon, I'm lost in the feel of him, his cock sliding in and out of my ass, his left hand leaving my hip to grip my cock stroking me in time with his thrusts.

My eyes cross as I fail to catch my breath, my body quaking, sensitive to the electric touch of my soulmate, the love of my life. My eyes struggle to focus but when they do, I find James staring at me, openly, lovingly.

Happiness.

I almost forgotten what it feels like.

James slams into me, his thrusts getting more and more rough as his moans grow deeper and more often. "Oh, fuck, Cody, your ass is so tight." He groans, unable to support himself through the pleasure he lays down on me, allowing me to take some of his weight as he continues to make love to me, his eyes never leaving mine.

I struggle to see him from the way my eyes roll in the back of my head, suddenly feeling my canines scrapping against my teeth as I feel my body building towards something. I'm no longer in control of my mouth, sounds I don't even recognize falling from a slacked mouth, body possessed by James' slave to his body as he coaxes me towards an orgasm.

"Come on, baby, just like that." He nearly growls and when I manage to look, I see his on canines have dropped as well, a hungry look deep in his eyes as he fucks me.

"I- I'm almost there!" I barely manage to scream out, no longer in control of my body of anything, the only known fact is that I want this. I need this.

"Fuck. Yes, Cody, I'm ready." James pants, groaning with every thrust his fingers digging into me harshly, perfectly.

Our combined moans of pleasure only grow, James' thrusts growing more and more wild, my answering movements are filled with passion. Wanting. Needing. I feel a rush of pleasure that starts at my core before exploding towards the rest of my body, my mind a testament to my pleasure as I begin to cum. My hole squeezes down on James and his growl of release as he pumps into me undoes me, leaving me unprepared as his lips find my neck and his teeth peirces my skin.

It's as if a needle full of pure bliss fills my veins, filling me completely white blinding pleasure that leaves me screaming.

I'm aware enough to be ensnared by the intoxicating scent of James, his neck the most concentrated of all, my teeth finding the soft smooth space easily. I sink my teeth in and it almost feels as if a piece of my very self as left me only to be replaced by a piece of James, a second orgasm ripping through me suddenly as the feeling.

I don't know how long we stay there, canines still in each others neck, our hips riding out the earth shattering orgasm. When I finally come to enough to release my hold on James and lick his neck, smoothing over the wounds, I'm breathless, still pierced together the world I thought I had known before.

James doesn't pull out of me, only locks his eyes and rests his forehead on mine for a moment.

"I love you. I love you so much and I'm so glad you're mine." He whispers.

"Thank you for loving me. Thank you for everything. I love you too." Is my answer, before quietly, tenderly James leads me towards the shower and the two of us wash off the evidence of our celebration all except the beautiful Marking along my neck that I can't help but keep touching even if it still stings a little.

When we climb back into the bed, stripped of the dirty comforter, James lays on his back, allowing me to lay on top of him, a pillow supporting the back of my head as I rest in his shoulder. I can feel the beat of his heart, his Mark that carries my scent just inches away, perfect in the moon light. We fall asleep holding each other, worshiping each other, thanking each other until the sun finally burns away the light.

✨✨✨

I wake up to the smell of food, the sun falling against the wood floors brightly. I rub my eyes and confirm my nose, recognizing the intoxicating smell of bacon.

Still not comfortable walking around naked, I grab James' shirt from the floor, my slim shoulders allowing his shirt to be come a mini dress. Satisfied, I leave the room, following the smell of delisciouness to the kitchen where I find my hunk of a Mate making breakfast while singing some pop human song he always complains about. My heart fills at the sight, loving every second, every minute wishing I could collect them and place them in my pocket for safe keeping.

James does a turn and notices me watching, but instead of getting embarrassed, he gets more into it, dancing towards me making silly faces until I can't help but laugh. He grabs my hands and gathers me in his arms before dancing with me around the living room and kitchen singing some clearly made up lyrics to a very out of tune song.

He finally places me down in the kitchen where he graces me with a soft, deep kiss that reawakens some of the fire from last night before pulling away with a smile.

"Good morning, Luna Cody. Happy birthday, beautiful." He tells me, almost making me swoon.

Celeste, I haven't felt this happy in ages.

I thought it would be impossible.

If this is what love is like, what's the point in heaven?

"Thank you. I'm still going to have to get used to that." I admit, referring to my new and permanent title, but the idea of it continued to grow on me.

"Well, get used to hearing it. You can even sign up for Higher Education next year." He reminds me and I add that to my to do list, sad for a moment when I remember I can't go back to that Faerie-Angel counselor and tell him I told you so, but he hasn't been seen since that day. "Come on, I made you breakfast." He says before ushering me towards the island bar where two plates have been set out.

We sit and eat together, thinking back on the crazy month we've had.

It's hard to believe that a month ago I still was as alone as the day my family died, and a month later, I'm the center and apart of something so much bigger than me we can't even comprehend it yet.

It's hard to wrap my mind around how much has changed. How much I've changed. And how much I would have never known if I had just given up and ended it all like I had thought about a few times before. I'm so glad I'm here to meet the people who will love me and be there for me to love them for the rest of my life.

Once we're finished eating and James takes care of the dishes, insisting that as a birthday boy, I don't do anything work related, I ask James to sit back down with me.

"I'm glad that I rang in my birthday and our connection with you. I want to talk to Sloan and give him and Jessie some space." I admit to James and he smiles, relieved.

"I was trying not to talk about it, but yeah I agree. Before you do, I would love to talk to Jessie, please." He asks me with his crooked smile and I laugh, shaking my head at the two of us before answering.

"Of course. And thank you for all of this. This is more than I could have ever hoped for this year." I tell him and he gives me a kiss on the forehead before I let go, allowing Jessie to step forward.

✨✨✨
Jessie's POV

I'm rendered speechless by how much I missed before. All the details and little things that tell me who my James is.

His blush is instant when he meets my eyes, but instead of shying away, he throws himself at me, hugging me fiercely as I stop us from toppling over in the chairs.

"I love you so much, Jessie. I'm so happy I'm yours." He tells me and he shatters my world and builds it around his pinky finger all at once, Jamie's eyes full of passion and sincerity as I wrap my arms around him and hold him to me.

"I love you too, Jamie. And I promise I will give you all the things you asked for and more. But today isn't our day. Just like Cody knows today isn't about him and Sloan. We will plan those days together and make them happy. It's okay to focus on Cody today just like I'll focus on Sloan. And when we get your day, you'll have my undivided attention." I tell him, grinning as one of my hands come up to grab his throat softly and I place a kiss along his ear. "Now be a good pup and let Sloan out while I let Cody admire his beauty before having my own breakfast." I tell him before kissing his throat and releasing him.

He nods, gulping, his boner obvious in his attire of boxers, and I watch from a fading view as he traded places with Sloan, blushing all the way.

✨✨✨

Cody's POV

When I open my eyes I'm faced with Sloan, his beauty rendering me breathless and before he can speak, I'm pulling him towards me, stealing away a kiss that has me wanting more, his moan different from James, prompting me to hear them all.

But I stop, pulling away, because Jessie is right. We all deserve time with each other where the sole focus is the one in front of us and no one else.

"Sorry." I say sheepishly with a laugh and Sloan shakes his head, his boner seeking to be seconds away from ripping a hole in his boxers.

"Don't apologize I was about to do the same." He admits and he doesn't look sorry in the slightest. He grabs my hands and lifts them to his lips with a soft smile that melts my heart. "Happy birthday my love. I'm so lucky to have you and James is too. Thank you for helping us start living again." He tells me and I want to laugh because that's exactly what they did for me.

We kiss again, this one slower.

A kiss. A promise.

To have our day soon.

And I fade away, finally allowing Jessie to have the time that he deserves with the one who understands him and loves him in ways I can't. I give Sloan one last smile and send Jessie my love before giving them the privacy that they gave James and I.

✨✨✨

Jessie's POV

I'm quick to scoop Sloan into my arms, his long hair falling into his face, getting caught in his long curly lashes.

"You know, I don't think the spare room has been christened yet. Let's say we go lay down and I get to really know this new body of yours." I offer the sweet love of my life, his beautiful brown eyes trusting and loving, my heart melting.

"I think I would like that very much, sir." Sloan replies and I carry him, like the beautiful bride he'll be when James and I propose after our official ceremony in a few weeks. Since Cody and I are half human and our parents were married, James and I thought it would be nice to surprise them with separate proposals, and have seperate weddings for the two of us.

Things like this have always been frowned upon in the wolf community. The elders, and my father included always tried to convince me that the wolf and human souls were supposed to merge and act as one. But I don't believe that.

We have two souls for a reason and we should celebrate and live to that not push it down and punish those who embrace it.

So as I carry Sloan to the spare room to get to know his body as intimately and as well as I can, I make a silent promise to take care of him, him and James, to never hide behind Cody and take care of the love we've so carefully built together. When I set him down, the kiss we share binds the promise to my heart, and I vow to myself, I will never break it.
