The next night Eddward wakes up and slips out of the house to prepare for the ritual, knowing that the red head will track him when he awakens.
Waking up, Kevin reached over to pull Edd close only to hit empty bed. He opens his eyes and scans the room. The bed was still relatively warm. Kevin threw on some jeans, foregoing a shirt and left the house. He hit the ground running, transforming was he went. He didn't know why but he had to find Edd... Right. Now!
Eddward had gathered the roses and herbs needed. Now he just waiting outside the cave, waiting for his love to find him as he leaned against the entrance shirtless.
Kevin could smell him, he could feel him... Tracking him was so easy it was like they were connected on another level and he guessed after tonight, they would be. He has no idea what is gonna be involved but he was excited to find out.
Eddward smiles in excitement as the wolf comes into view. "You are late, Mon Cher" he teases, walking up to him and embracing the ginger.
"Well, someone didn't wake me up" Kevin shook off, leaving all the twigs and leaves. "Why did you come here? It was a bitch getting to..." Kevin transforms back into his human form and approaches Edd to embrace and leaned in for a kiss.
Eddward smirks and kisses him briefly "Come, I will show you why" he says, grabbing Kevin's hand and leading him into the candlelit cave.
"Woah..." Kevin was in awe of the small cave. The hot spring was steaming and he couldn't wait to slide into that. The smells were intoxicating and making his head spin. He clung to Eddward keeping Kevin upright.
Eddward chuckles and looks at the wolf "I thought you might like it" he says, looking at the hot spring filled with roses then at the herbs and knife needed for the ritual
"Oddly, I do. It smells amazing in here." Kevin brought Edd to him again, wrapping Edd's arms around his own neck, Kevin kisses him. "This really happening?" Kevin laughed but was smiling.
"Only if you want it to, Mon Cher. Are you sure you are ready?" Eddward asked worriedly.
"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't... I love you, this is what we both need" pressing their foreheads together, Kevin kisses Edd again before pulling back.
Eddward nods smiling widely "Alright, do you know what to do?"
"Not at all"
"Alright just repeat after me and follow my lead then, Mon Amour" Eddward chuckles, detaching himself and grabbing the knife. "Ready?"
"More than ready."
Eddward smiles and nods, he slices his left hand open at the palm and hands it to the wolf, waiting for him to do the same. He takes the wolf's bloodied hand and interlocks their fingers.
"With this blood we will become one…"
"With this blood, we will come one" Kevin grins.
Eddward grabs the herbs, keeping their fingers locked together, begins making a delicate and intricate design on the wolf's left arm. Starting from his shoulder and going down to the back of his hand.
"With these markings, I claim you as mine" he says smiling wider.
He had seen a few vampires with these markings on their bodies and he never understood them. He thought they were tattoos, honestly. Eddward handed him the bowl of crushed herbs and Kevin mimicked Eddward perfectly. Letting. His heart speak for him, he made a design that started at the same place it did on himself
"With these markings, I claim you as mine." Kevin shivered.
Eddward smiled wider as he watched the wolf mark him. When the ginger was done, Eddward takes the bowl and sets it aside. Keeping their hands clasped together, he leads the wolf to the hot spring's rose water. Stepping in he says "With these waters, I was away your past and proclaim eternal love" Eddward washes away the herbs revealing the smooth unmarked bare skin.
Kevin felt amazing. His senses were all on overdrive. He felt closer and connected to Eddward and it made his heart soar. Following Eddward in the water and listening closely, not wanting to screw this up. He begins to wash Eddward of the herbal mixture. "With these waters, I wash away your past and proclaim eternal love"
Eddward's heart soars as he slowly begins to feel what the red head is feeling. He wants nothing more than to kiss the wolf but knows it has to wait. The glowing in his chest was becoming fainter and pulsing, signaling that the ritual was almost complete. He smiles and leads the wolf out of the warm rose water, leading him outside "And in this light, we will bond for life" he says stepping into the full moons rays with the wolf and slowly a black mark spreads where the herbs were branching out like veins.
Standing in the full moon's light, Kevin knew that he would never regret finding Eddward. He would never regret taking the offer from him to stay, he would never regret falling for him especially since he knew Eddward would be there to catch him. "And in this light, we will bond for life." Kevin watched as the lines he washed off started to become thick, dark lines on Eddward's pale skin. He felt tickling on his arm and shoulder and saw the same thing. He felt how much Eddward loved him and he hoped that Eddward could feel that echoing back to him. It was dizzying... And Kevin loved it.
Eddward smiles and leans forward capturing Kevin in a loving kiss as the tingling gradually stops. He knew then that Pumpkin was no longer a factor, though subconsciously, he had known that since Kevin replaced him in the Raven's dreams.
"Kevin, I love you but I suppose you already know that. What neither of us knew was that I've loved you since I first laid eyes on you. As old as I am, I was too blind and stupid to see it, so thank you for being patient with me and staying by my side throughout this whole ordeal. I love you and Daniel and I will spend every day thanking whatever powers that be for having you two in my life and I can't wait to spend the rest of our life's together" he says smiling softly at the wolf. He leans his forehead against his and stares into those green eyes that are unique in their own right and no longer remind him of anyone by the man before him.
"Eddward, you turn my life upside down but I love it, just as I love you. You have accepted me into your life and I finally have a place in this world. You welcomed my brother so easily and the way you love him makes me love you even more. You are the best thing to happen to me and I can't thank you enough. You changed me into a better man, a better brother, and now, a better mate for you. I'm so excited to see what life has in store for us. I love you, so much. Thank you for showing me that I can be loved and that I'm worth it and thank you for allowing me to love you." Using his free right hand, Kevin wraps that arm around Edd's waist and brings him close, holding him tightly
The light in Eddward's chest fades and then disappears "The ritual is complete, Mon Amour" Eddward says softly.
"I guess these markings stay...? I hope so"
"Yes, as long as you live... I should probably explain what's changed now, shouldn't I?" Eddward chuckles kissing the wolf's nose.
"Yeah..." Kevin cupped Edd's face and pressed their lips together in a gentle kiss.
"Well, for starts the mark is obvious but we have a mental link with each other now with some practice, we can begin reading each other's mind. For now, it will just be strong emotions" Eddward begins, letting this information sink in.
"What else?" Kevin really was paying attention but the skin on Eddward's jaw and neck was so inviting
"Well, I will begin aging with you and when you die I will turn to ash and if I turn to ash you will die..." Eddward says softly looking at the ginger's lips.
"At least we'll always be together. Anymore?"
"Other than being able to sense when the other is in danger, no." Eddward says, dragging his blue eyes up to lock with the ginger's green.
"Good, cuz I need you right now." Kevin tilted his head down to bite and suck at the vampire's neck
Eddward moans and tilts his head to the side "I love you." he says pulling the redhead closer.
"I feel it..." As sharp bite to Edd's neck and the moan that followed made him groan and grind their erections together.
Eddward leans forward gently placing his hands on either side of the ginger's face, pulling him into a deep kiss, a slice passion and lust washed over him. Kevin's hands run down his sides to the small of his back, pulling Eddward closer.
Eddward breaks the kiss but stays so close his lips are brushing against the wolf's as he says "Make me howl, my love."
Kevin smiled and chuckled "I'm gonna make you go hoarse". He pushed Edd back into the hot spring and brought him into his lap, kissing him deeply and grinding up into Edd's hips.
Eddward moans and wraps his arms around his lover's neck and kisses him deeply. Kevin's hands move down Edd's sides and gave a hard squeeze to his hips before reaching around and grabbing two handfuls of that sexy ass that Kevin loved to bury his cock in. With Edd's cock pressed against his stomach, Kevin lined himself up and pushed in slowly.
Eddward moans into the kiss sliding his tongue into his lover's mouth fighting for dominance for a moment before the Raven just gives in and lets him take full control. He didn't want to fuck tonight, he wanted to make love with his new mate.
Kevin broke the kiss and lolled his head back, moaning. He had never felt emotions like this. He was feeling elated because he had his mate but he was also getting feedback from Eddward and everything was intensified. He started thrusting at a slow pace, increasing as he went on.
Eddward moans as another wave of pleasure and love crash down on him from both his and Kevin's minds and digs his nails in the wolf's shoulder.
Kevin tightened his grip on the vampire and gave him a harder thrust. He reached for Eddward's cock, stroking it in time to his thrusts. Eddward gasps and moan, his senses in complete overload from the love and pleasure flowing between them. "Oh Kevin, I love you" he moans gripping the red head fighting his climax.
"Edd..." Kevin flips them over and moves faster, bringing Eddward's legs around his waist. "I'm not gonna last much longer..." he groans as he feels Edd tighten around him.
"Neither am I, Kevin oh god..." he moans, bringing him into a kiss.
When the need for air became too much, Kevin sits back on his knees and pushes Edd's thighs farther apart and back as his thrusts sped up and got erratic. "God, Edd... Yes!" Kevin feels the fire bubbling in his stomach release its self at once. He gave one final thrust and buried himself as deep as he could, riding out his orgasm while biting down hard on Edd's neck. His sweet blood pouring into his mouth.
Eddward screams as he releases, seeing stars as the wolf bites down on his neck "KEVIN, OH FUCK, KEVIN!"
Eddward's screams race down Kevin's spine as he releases Edd's neck and stares into ice blue eyes. "I knew I could make ya scream" he laughs.
After coming down from his orgasm, Eddward starts laughing "Yes you did, didn't you, my love?"
Kevin pulled back and laid next to Edd, grabbing his hand. "We have to go back, don't we?"
"No, we can rest here for a moment, if you'd like" Eddward chuckles.
Kevin sits up and looks at his left shoulder and arm, running his hand over it. It was pretty awesome but more so, it was Eddward.
Eddward smiles "My marking is very much you, darling" he says looking at the tribal like marking. It was not something he would ever have picked for himself but Kevin drew it and he loved it as much as he loved the wolf.
"I let my heart speak... That's what it came up with when I described you." Kevin looked at his "This is so beautiful though..."
Eddward smiles "I also let my heart speak and that is the result" he says moving close to the wolf and kissing him.
"Wonder if it will show when I transform...? Totally up for that." Kevin snuggled into Edd and laid back. After a while, Kevin looked out and started to see the very beginnings of daylight coming. "Come on, let's go home."
Eddward nods and stands pulling on his pants, he walks outside and waits for the wolf. Kevin pulls his pants on and transforms before coming to stand beside Edd. Eddward smiles and examines the wolf's left arm and paw. Unlike the rest of his body, there was black fur where the mark was showing the delicate and intricate mark.
Knowing what Edd was smiling at, Kevin smiles and laughs. "Let's go home, ya weirdo." Before taking off through the woods. Eddward shoots off after him eventually just dropping on him and riding him with a laugh. Kevin grins and continues to weave through the trees. He was anxious to get home and see Daniel, just as Eddward was... He only hoped that he would still be up. Eddward hops off of the wolf and waits for him to transform before walking into the house.
Kevin walks in behind Edd before getting attacked by a small red ball of fur and energy. "HiBigBrother! Imsogladyourebackimissedyouwhatsthatonyourarm? MariegavemeCOFFEE!"
"MARIE DID WHAT?!" Eddward growls loudly looking at the female vampire, who was now hiding behind the couch.
"I didn't think he would react that way!" she says quietly.
"MARIE HE IS TEN YEARS OLD! HOW DID YOU THINK HE WOULD REACT?!" He exclaims.
"I dunno not like that!" she whines over getting in trouble.
"Honestly, you are a female. This should be second nature to you..." he sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"THATS SEXIST YOU HOBKNOCKER!" she screeches from behind the couch "Honestly..."
Coming between the two vampires but facing Edd "Hey, relax... It's probably not the best move she could have done but it's not the worst. He's alright, just a little hyped up."
"He is never going to sleep tonight, Mon Cher" Eddward groans causing Marie to snicker and Eddward to growl at her.
"Then she can deal with him" Kevin sassed as he drops Danny into Marie's arms. "Good luck, werewolves don't tire easily... Especially the pups! See you two in the evening!" Grabbing Eddward, Kevin stalked off to their room and shut the door. "See? Easy!"
Eddward snickers "You know, she did that on purpose. Her plan just back fired on her, correct?"
"Correct!" Kevin smirked and wrapped his arms around Edd's waist.
Eddward smirks "To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question" he says, wrapping his arms around the wolf.
"You can sleep later..." Kevin pulls him to the bed, dropping them both, with Kevin on his back and legs by Edd's hips.
Eddward chuckles "is that a fact?" he asks grinding into the wolf.
The rest of the night was spent wrapped in each other's arms and solidifying their bond, linking themselves on a level that they had never been before. It swept Kevin off his feet, if he allowed it to, and it drove Eddward crazy but he always knew that the wolf would be there for him… To catch him, to anchor him, to love him. Anything that came at them now would be met with a force that would be reckoned with and the both would protect their small family with their lives. They knew that nothing would rip them apart but little did they know that the universe would try its damnedest and stopping would be Hell…
