"I understand wanting to give her space, but until you bite her you'll be sullen and ill tempered and crusty. I bet Serena's not enjoying it very much, either."
"Oh, come on, Saul. Be for fucking real," Amanda scoffs. "Koen's crusty with us, not with her."
That's correct. Because when he's with Serena, he's in a great fucking mood. When he's with her, she's his.

Alpha instinct doesn't normally concern itself with external approval, but Serena... she feels like another part of him.
His heart, in another body.

"You are the heart of this pack, Koen."
He nods. Even as he says, "And you are mine, Serena."
AHHHHHHHH F*cking KOEN❤️‍🔥🧎‍♀️‍➡️

"You... We talked about this." I sound shrill. "The pack is too important to you. And you are necessary to the pack."
"Things have changed."
"Things— nothing has changed. You love the Northwest more than anything."
"Not more than anything, Serena."

"Unbelievable, how fucking unreal you feel, soft and wet and warm and every good thing in the world, baby."

“You have to drink.” A kiss against the flushed skin of my throat. “Girls in Heat only get what they ask for if they finish their water.”

"There could never be disappointment, because there were never any comparisons, or expectations, or hopes, or standards to meet. There's only ..." He casts a glance around the room, searching. Then his eyes settle on me. "There is only you, Serena."

"If someone had given me a piece of paper and asked me to list everything I liked, everything I dreamed of, everything that I was sure would make me happy, you would have been the final product of it."

"Having you this way. Exposed. Pinned." His hand slips to cup my head. He kisses my lips, gentle. "In a matter of days, you're going to leave, and I'll spend the rest of my life as your fucking servant. Whatever you ask me for, you'll have. But here you are Defenseless. Mine for a short time."

Another, more subdued nod. A "My good girl" brushed against my jaw helps his finger sink deep enough that he can slowly, relentlessly work another one inside, tucked next to the first.
