Hybrid's Eclipse

Epilogue

Months passed in a blur, and the pack returned to normalcy with no further threats.

Callum became more relaxed, often coming home early by lunchtime, leaving us with the rest of the day to ourselves. That involved many intimate moments.

Noah returned home, saying he was needed there, but he frequently visited. Rhea stayed in touch almost daily, updating us on her progress in leading the clan. Our borders remained open to one another.

I spent a lot of time with the pack, getting to know them better. This made me feel more integrated as their Luna. I no longer felt like a stranger among them.

Callum and I had initially discussed the recent events, but eventually stopped when I could tell he no longer wanted to dwell on the past.

I hadn't mentioned the proposal, and as time passed, I realised I must have imagined it. Wolves didn't really marry, not in the traditional sense like humans did. Mates were for life, a piece of paper didn't confirm that.

The calm within the pack allowed us to spend more time together, giving us the chance to truly learn about each other.

Callum was hesitant to leave me alone most days, and wanted to mate at every opportunity. I didn't protest as I welcomed the intimacy.

"I love you," he told me that evening, after he had emptied his content inside of me and remained hovered above me, his member still inside of me. "Marry me, Natalia."

My breathing was already hitched from the force of his thrusts from earlier, so at his words, I gulped loudly as my eyes widened.

I must have hallucinated following how roughly he had thrusted inside of me just moments ago, imagining the words coming from his mouth.

"What did you say?" I asked, dumbfounded.

Callum chuckled, before he leaned down and pecked my lips softly. "Take my last name. Be mine."

The peck quickly became heated as Callum awaited an answer, his member inside of me growing hard again. I was too stunned to respond to his words, and instead responded eagerly to his kiss and touches, trying to reassure myself that this wasn't a dream.

His lips travelled down my jaw to the claim on my neck, where he teased the skin with his teeth. Simultaneously, he began to slowly move his hips, thrusting inside of me.

Of course, I wanted to marry him. There was no doubt about that. I was stunned for him to say it so suddenly after months, and in the midst of the pleasure at the late hour.

"Speak to me, baby," Callum urged, as he picked up the pace. "I want you to be completely mine."

I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, grazing his skin with my nails as I could feel pressure build up within me.

"Yes," I urged, moaning as Callum registered my answer and thrust harder.

He dipped his head to capture my nipple in his mouth, his thrusts becoming impossibly faster, making me scream his name out in pleasure.
