Edith breathed in and out slowly. She did so repeatedly as she looked at herself in the mirror. Along with her breathing, Edith resolved herself to step into the hotel bathroom. She slid the door open and found the silhouette of Seth bathing under the shower.
“By the Moon Goddess, you scared me, baby.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to… me,” Edith stammered.
“Want to take a bath with me?” The words hanging from Edith’s lips were continued by Seth.
Edith nodded slowly. Seth pulled Edith’s hand and led her under the shower. Edith felt the flow of water touching her skin, which made her feel calmer after the nervousness a few minutes ago.
Edith came closer to Seth and touched his face with both hands. She kissed Seth gently. Seth, without hesitation, reciprocated and opened his mouth so that Edith could easily express her desire.
“It just so happens that I’m done, and I don’t want my wife to get hypothermia again. Let’s go back to the room.”
Seth grabbed Edith’s waist and lifted her up. Edith wrapped her arms around Seth’s neck without wanting to be away from him for a second. Seth sat Edith on the edge of the bed and said, “I’ll get a towel to dry your body first; hang on.”
Seth stepped towards the wardrobe and took one of the hotel towels from it. He returned to the bed and dried Edith with the towel in his hand.
“You said you wanted to do it in the shower once in a while?” asked Edith.
“But not with your body that’s been tired all day. I don’t want you to get hypothermia again like that time. I’ll do it when your body is in the best state. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.”

“Are you asleep, baby?”
Edith turned her body around and replied, “No, what’s wrong?”
“I need you to promise me something.”
“I can’t promise something that I don’t know for sure; just tell me what’s wrong.”
Seth touched Edith’s face and caressed it. Seth’s face turned somber. Edith was still guessing what she had to promise.
“I can’t force you to make me your immortal mate; I’m quite self-conscious. I’m also still confused about the consequences we have to face if I have to raise you back from the dead, so I want you to promise me never to turn your back on me. I know I’m an arrogant wolf who likes to act out, but despite all that, everything I do is only because I love you.”
“I don’t want to make any promises to you, Seth.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll never make a promise that I can’t keep. People can change, and I’m still half human; I still have that weakness.”
“Then…?” Seth increasingly did not understand what Edith meant.
“Since I am half Veela, I will ask the universe to make you my immortal mate. Get up!”
Seth got out of bed following Edith’s request and stood at the edge of the bed. Edith followed Seth and stood before him.
“By the grace of the universe, I, Veela Edith Novakovic, set Werewolf Alpha Seth Tinley McKirby as my immortal mate; immortality will always be with us. May the grace be with us forever.”
Edith hugged Seth’s body and closed her eyes. Seth felt warmth touch his skin and saw a blue aura emanating from Edith’s body. Seth also saw a pair of golden wings emerge from Edith’s back and embrace her body.
For a few minutes, Seth felt the floor of the room tremble, and then he was lifted a few inches into the air. Now he was floating together with Edith, who was hugging him. Seth saw a golden hair thread sticking out of Edith towards him. It moved down towards his hand and curled around it slowly.
At the same time as the golden hair that was wrapped around Seth’s hand disappeared, Edith and he had already stepped on the floor again. Edith opened her eyes and smiled.
“Congratulations! You have legitimately become my immortal mate. How does it feel?” asked Edith.
“It’s warm and gives me goosebumps. By the way, you gave me the golden thread and your hair that grows long.”
“That’s how it works. It’s Veela’s hair; you can keep it. If you die, then the hair I gave you will perish with its owner, and I will die too.”
“How did you know that, baby?” asked Seth with an admiring look at Edith.
“My mother told me through this necklace. She did it to my father.”
“A… I see. Thank you, baby. I love you. You’re so pretty with those golden wings.”
“Hang on there.”
Edith folded her wings and removed them in just a few seconds. She walked closer to Seth and touched every inch of his skin. Starting from his neck down to his firm chest and to his waist, Edith’s eyes looked deeply into Seth’s brown eyes, which had now turned yellow.
Seth kissed Edith’s lips, pushing her mouth to welcome his kiss. Seth could smell her pheromone scent. Seth could see the blue aura emanating back from Edith, and conversely. Edith could see the yellowish aura emanating from Seth’s body.
“You look yellow, baby.”
“What did you call me just now?”
“I called you, baby.”
“Well done. You turned me on even more.”
Seth kissed Edith again, more intensely. Their tongues wrapped around each other. Seth’s hands began to go down to Edith’s breast, making Edith run her fingers through Seth’s hair. The scent of Edith’s body always made Seth drunk.
Seth kissed her neck, so Edith closed her eyes. Seth could clearly hear the soft moan from Edith’s lips; he really liked it. Seth lowered his lips to Edith’s breast and swallowed it.
Seth lifted Edith’s body and laid her on the bed. His desire was mounting. His hands began to roam to Edith’s intimate parts, touching them gently. The next second, Seth was already playing his finger on her clitoral area, making Edith swear in a low voice.
Edith felt that her intimate parts were getting moist, and Seth’s movements were getting faster in there. Her body tightened, and her legs shook until she reached her climax.
Seth pulled out a finger full of Edith. Without saying much, Seth pushed himself into Edith. Seth straightened his body and began to move his hips slowly.
Droplets of sweat began to drip on Edith’s white skin. Seth looked down, then greeted with satisfaction the breasts that continued to move in front of him. Her hands pressed against Seth’s head, asking him to suck on her nipples. Edith let out a long sigh as Seth played with his tongue there.
“Are you tired?”
Edith shook her head. Her gaze had already begun to fade as Seth paused for a moment. He saw a bluish aura appear on Edith’s body.
“Don’t stop.” Edith said it in a hoarse voice.
Seth hardened his jaw when he heard Edith’s words. He returned to pressing Edith’s with a faster rhythm. Edith pulled the sheets under her tightly as she sighed loudly. Seth was released afterwards.
“Thanks for coming into my life, baby.”
