In the next few days, they settled into a routine. Kye would wake up, usually back in heat, and Victor would make it go away. When his heat was finally over, Kye knew he looked a mess. He had an array of love bites and hickeys marking his pale skin.

Not to say that Victor fared much better. He had claiming bites across his shoulders and neck. Now that Kye's heat was over, he decided to ask he essential question that had been bothering him since they had first met. Whether he wanted him or not. He knew Kye had claimed him, but that had to be because of his heat.

If he kept telling himself that Kye didn't want him, that what they had done was all a mistake, then maybe it wouldn't hurt as bad when he rejected him. He had seen what happens to people when their fated mates rejected them. 

"Are you okay, mate?" Kye was looking at him with his rusty red-brown eyes. Those eyes he had seen in his dreams, running along side him, looking at him even as they ran.

He teared up thinking of how he would never see those perfect eyes ever again. 

"What's wrong, honey? Are you hurt? Look at me Victor."

Victor slowly raised his head to look at his precious mate, still crying profusely.

"Y-you don't want me, right? I understand. We can find a way to break the mating bond and-"

"What are you talking about? I will always want you as my mate....unless you don't want me?"

"So you really want me as a mate? It's not just the heat?"

"Of course I want you. Why would I not want a man that would protect me from the world. I love you-"

Kye was cut off by Victor sweeping him into a huge hug, still crying, but this time tears of joy.

"Are you okay baby?" Kye questioned, still unsure if he was really good.

"Are you kidding?! I have a mate! I love you so much!!"

Victor practically threw himself on Kye, making them both fall on the ground.

Luckily, Kye landed on top of Victor. As they looked into each other's eyes, they knew they are meant to be together.

One kiss led to another, and they were soon in a heated make out session.

"Does this mean you'll claim me?"

"Yes. But first we need to go hunting. You'll need all the energy you can get." Victor finished with a smirk.
