Caitlyn's POV
This farce ended in a reconciliation between the two, and those guests who were there because of Zed and my ceremony were originally afraid of the strength of the Fullmoon Pack. However, now that they saw so many powerful werewolves become Zed's companions, they were even less inclined to trespass. And this might be another part of Zed's plan itself.
"Caitlyn, I'm sorry to have you suffered so much," Talon remarked.
Talon and I strolled under the moonlight, and there was a long silence before Talon spoke. I was stunned for a moment; it wasn't like Talon's style. Normally, with his high-spirited nature, there was no way he would ever say something so heartfelt.
However, when he spoke these words, I could still feel the strong emotions and thoughts contained in them, causing my heart to pound violently.
I was sure that Talon hadn't lived a peaceful life during the time I was away, not to mention he still had his own mission in mind.
"I haven't seen you for so long. It seems that you're doing better at coaxing a woman. If I had thought of you a while later, I don't know what other delightful words you would have said."
When I was looking at Talon's handsome face, endless warmth spread in my heart. That stern and cold Alpha only showed his true colors in front of me, making it impossible for me to resist snickering.
As soon as my words fell, I saw Talon suddenly lean towards my side, and his face zoomed in extremely fast into my eyes. Before I could react, I felt a soft, hot touch on my lips.
"I'm not letting you get away from me again," Talon slurred his words as he kissed me deeply.
"I..." I was just about to say something else when I saw Talon suddenly get up slightly before leaning in and dragging my entire body into his arms.
Just when I was still a bit dazed, Talon buried my head into his arms with one hand. At this moment, the faint scent of Talon's body that made people fall in love with him was also disturbing my mind, and in the next instant, the two of our lips were once again pressed together.
"Caitlyn, I missed you so much."
Talon lowered his voice and spoke softly, expressing endless longing and contemplation. Talon resembled a child who had rediscovered a lost toy, eagerly anticipating its touch.
The firm contact made my body tremble involuntarily, as if electricity surged through me. This time, it was more than just a simple touch.
A tantalizing flush emerged on my pale face, and despite being the one who initiated teasing Talon, I found myself unsure of how to conclude the interaction.
Just as I was about to step back, Talon firmly grabbed my wrist, his assertive gaze sweeping over my body. Confronted by his sudden dominance, I was transported back to the time when I first met him—his unquestionable dominance binding me like a shackle, eliciting a slow reaction from my body.
The corners of my mouth formed a playful smile, fueled by a newfound courage that propelled my body toward Talon. The suppressed emotions within me spilled out uncontrollably.
My initiative caught Talon off guard for a moment, but the delight in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
"When you said that I've got the wrong person when we just met in the Fullmoon Pack, my heart almost stopped. It was then that I realized how crucial you are to me, and I can't fathom a world without you."
Talon poured out his thoughts, gasping for air and traversing my smooth back with his large hands.
"I'm sorry..."
I narrowed my eyes and lightly bit my lip. The heat within me was slowly leading me astray. Memories flashed back to the time when I was still known as Vayne, and Talon rudely barged into my life, leaving an indelible impression.
The excited growl of my wolf momentarily left me dazed.
"Even if you don't recognize me forever, I'll make you fall in love with me all over again," Talon declared.
Reflecting on Talon's words, it felt like both a bold gamble and a sincere confession, disrupting the calm in my heart.
"Caitlyn, it's not your fault. I understand you made that decision to help me. You were right at the time. But as a competent mate, how could I allow you to risk your life for me? It's the deepest feeling I've had since learning of your memory loss."
Talon gripped my shoulders and looked into my eyes earnestly. The moonlight bathed his face, intensifying the renewed desire within me.
Throwing my body at Talon, I clamped my mouth onto his shoulder. Despite the pain, he endured, realizing the emotional release in that bite.
"Caitlyn, I'm sorry. I'll never let you leave my world again. I'll love you with my life," Talon declared through gritted teeth.
Releasing my grip, I left visible teeth marks on Talon's shoulder. Tears welled up, and with arms open, I silently cried into his embrace.
My hot tears fell on Talon's shoulder, causing him to tremble as if burned. He responded by hugging me tightly, burying his head in my neck and gently licking it.
An indescribable pleasure surged through my body as Talon's tongue traced the mark he had left on my neck earlier.
"Now, let's enjoy the moment," Talon's low voice whispered as he slowly removed the clothes from my body.
