Please review!

Thank you all!

~Kagome POV~ 2 months later~

I glared at my fiancé, trying hard to keep myself out of arms reach.

"I will not apologize angel" said Sesshomaru making me grit my teeth.

"Then you don't get to hold me anymore" I retorted walking around the kitchen island and away from him.

"You are overreacting love" he said in exasperation before he gave me 'the look'.

"Oh no" I said backing away from him "None of that" I said pointing my finger at him "I refuse to talk to you when you start looking at me like that…it's not fair"

Drat the man. He knew my weakness, knew how much I loved it when his eyes melted into molten gold but I refused to let him win. He was going over board and I was going to put my foot down.

"Look at you in what way angel?" he said moving from the kitchen….stalking me. His body was so long lean, even with his silk shirts you could see the rippling of muscles underneath. It made a feminine part of me want to run my hands over his chest, just for the mere fact that I had the right to touch this powerful demon.

My bare feet didn't make a sound on the plush carpet as I backed away from him…away from temptation.

"That!" I said pointing at him "It's cheating. You stop that right now mister, I 'm still angry at you"

"I don't see any reason why you should be" his voice was like warm honey making my body go a bit boneless. Mercy…..he had to be violating some sort of a natural code with that voice.

"Stop that too" I said dodging him by going around a chair "No using that voice either" I said narrowing my eyes again.

"I am talking to you normally Kagome" he said sending shivers through my body when he said my name; it was almost like a caress.

"Then that's out too" I said "No being normal"

He gave me an amused male smirk that set my teeth on edge "You are being emotional my mate, I have told you that Inu's are naturally over possessive of their lifemates"

I huffed crossing my arms "Having a four man brigade to make a trip to the grocery store is not possessive…..it's psychotic" I said dryly.

"I will not take chances with your life"

I let out a soft scream of frustration. He used my little outburst to finally take a hold of me. I was wrapped in his much larger body, surrounded by his scent. I was still angry at him but I couldn't help rubbing my cheek against his chest taking in a breath. Being wrapped in his arms calmed my heart and sedated me more efficiently than any medication could.

My heart, however fragile, belonged to only him.

I felt his body vibrate making my eyes droop a bit, I loved it when he growled low in his chest and he knew it too. It soothed all fears and doubts until I agreed to almost anything. Damn him.

"I'm still angry but it's more than that" I said softly then looked up at him "I won't have you restricting my movements and I won't give Naraku the satisfaction of knowing he has frightened me to the point that I need four large bodyguards to protect one tiny woman. You are making yourself seem weak Sesshomaru…don't you realize that?"

He frowned "How so?"

"You are sending a message that you are not powerful enough to protect me by yourself and that you see him as a great threat. You are feeding his ego honey" I said trying to reason with him, to make him understand that by him being over protective…..he was damaging his image and I will not have that.

Taking my hand he led me to the couch and sat down pulling me on to his lap. I rolled my eyes. He really was a big dog in many ways and his constant need to touch me, hold me and nuzzle my neck was very canine in nature. Not that I minded, I loved it in fact. How many could say they had my problem?

I have only seen his original Inu form in a painting and I had been surprised by his size. According to his mother, who had shown me the painting, he was roughly around the size of a house with the ability to breath out toxic poison. He told me that one of these days he would take me to the cottage where we declared our love to each other and show me.

I was pulled back to the present when he started to chuckle.

I crooked an eyebrow at him "What's so funny?"

"That you my angel are a blessing in more ways than you realize" he said "Very well, I see the reasoning behind your words. You will have only one bodyguard and it will be someone who I can trust completely"

"What about Shippo?" I said "He's already one of my guards and I like him, he's not stuffy and boring like the other ones are"

He nodded "Very well, if it makes you happy then I will speak with him regarding his new assignment. He is crafty and reliable"

"Did you just regard to me as an assignment?" I said crossing my arms to my chest. Honestly…the man was too arrogant sometimes.

He chuckled pulling me to him and kissed my cheek and neck "You are very emotional today my little one"

"Being pregnant will do that to you" I said sarcastically before getting up and headed to the kitchen where I had left the groceries on the island in my fit of anger.

I dug in the large bag until I smiled when I saw my baby sitting in the bottom. My 3 pints of Haggen Daz pistachio, cookie dough and rocky road ice cream.

I put two of the three in the fridge before opening the rocky road and grabbed a spoon and dug in. I put the rest away of the food away and took out some ingredients to make eggplant parmesan. I turned on my ipod that was sitting on the docking station and got to work fixing dinner while eating ice cream and dancing around the kitchen completely unaware that I had an audience. I was already so used to his piercing gaze on me that I paid him no mind.

By the time I put the casserole in the oven I had polished off almost half of my pint in which a clawed hand confiscated it.

"Hey!" I said turning around to face Sesshomaru "I'm still working on that"

He smiled at me then took the spoon I had in my hand "Angel…if you keep eating this then you won't have any room for a real meal"

I huffed but knew he was right. I could easily eat the whole pint then have to deal with stomach pains. I was only 2 months along in my pregnancy but since it was a demon pregnancy I would give birth in only 5 months instead of the 9 months, something that I was happy about. So needless to say I was already showing.

Sesshomaru was the one who had told me that my scent had changed and that he believed that I was carrying his 'pup'. He called it a pup; I just called it a baby….yet another Inuyoukai thing.

He was overly thrilled about this baby; I don't think I have ever seen a man so happy to know he was going to become a father. When he told me that I was carrying his child and heir it took me a moment to let that statement sink in and when it finally hit me I almost fainted.

I had wanted to wait. I wanted to see if I was even going to live to see my children grow up at least. Sesshomaru didn't even seem to be fazed by the lack of health. Said that he had the up most confidence that I was going to get better….very soon.

I did not share his view of this. I was scared and was doing my best not to show it.

I was cutting up some tomatoes for the salad when I felt strong arms wrap around me. He leaned and to kissed my neck softly.

"Your scent has shifted to sadness" he said in a deep rich tone "I will not allow you to die Kagome. Have I ever let you down or not been able to follow through on my promises?"

I sighed "No, you have always kept them" I said

"Then trust in me my love" He said holding me tightly to him then placed a hand on the small swell where our baby was growing and rubbed it gently "I don't not want our pup to think he is not loved by his mother"

I placed my hand on top of his "I love our baby Sessh" I said then looked up at him "Just as I love you"

He kissed me, pouring his feelings in to that one kiss making me forget about medications and heart conditions as I allowed myself to feel loved and cherished by this powerful being in my arms.

"What do you think Shippo?" I said holding up a green and gray baby creeper that had Oscar the grouch on it.

"I think it should have come in a larger size for Sesshomaru" he said making me laugh, placing the piece of clothing in the basket he was holding I continued to look for baby clothes.

"So are you guys sure it's going to be a boy then?"

I nodded picking up some socks checking the quality "He said that he could smell the sex of the baby and it's defiantly male"

"That's great news Kagome, Sesshomaru must be very proud"

"You have no idea" I said with a small laugh.

I continued to make way to get some more essentials for the nursery. Sesshomaru had insisted I take one of his credit cards so that I could buy some clothing for the baby and anything else I may want but to leave the choosing of the theme and selection of the baby gear for when we could do it together.

Walking over to the diapers aisle I decided not to add to the landfill and bought cloth diapers, liners and lots of covers. Yes it was a pain but it would be worth it I told myself. I was selecting some lotions for myself when I felt someone looking at me.

Looking up the only person I saw was a pale skinned man who was looking at the baby cribs. Frowning I shook my head and continued to walk towards Shippo.

Pulling out my phone I dialed Sesshomaru to see how busy his schedule was. I was close by to him and I was hungry, hopefully I could have lunch with him.

"Tashio Enterprises"

"Hey Kagura" I said greeting the wind youkai "Is the boss man there?"

She chuckled softly "Yes he's here and barking orders left and right as usual ranting about the incompetence of the people who work in his accounting department"

I hiss between my teeth "That bad?"

"You have no idea" she muttered "Think you can swing by and work your magic on him? You're the only one with the power to stop him from firing the whole department"

I sighed, that man had a temper that could rival the Titians.

"I'll be there with luck I can convince him to go out for lunch" I said hanging up then looked at Shippo "Looks like we're heading over to pay Sessh a little visit"

Heading over to the cashier I was not aware of the extra pair of eyes that followed my ever step.

~Sesshomaru POV~

Fools.

Each and every single person in this company was an utter fool as far as I was concerned and I was making sure they knew it as well.

"Mr. Taisho, there is nothing that can be done. The contract that we have with Alliance states that they are fully in their rights to renegotiate their terms"

I growled at the idiot accountant who had just informed me that one of the companies I was buying out was rethinking the terms of the contact and as such all earnings have been left at a standstill. The contract was air tight, I saw to it myself. So why in the hell is this simpleton here telling me that there was a loophole.

I got up from my chair and went to stand by my window, looking at the humans scurry around like ants in a maze, it amazed that they even gotten this far in life.

"M..Mr. Taisho…." the human stuttered and squeaked irritating me even further.

I was about to tell this idiot that he was no longer a part of the company when Kagome opened to doors and waltzed in with a big smile on her face. I felt all of the anger I was feeling suddenly just whooshed out of me when I saw her in a long white dress and little yellow cardigan. Her hair was pulled up and the dress displayed her baby bump beautifully. She looked every bit the angel I nicknamed her to be.

"I'm sorry to interrupt sweetie" she said giving me a kiss on the cheek after I bend down to greet her. She then looked at my accountant and smiled "Robert" she said to the man "How nice to see you again. Please tell your wife that I absolutely loved the card and earrings little Jacob gave me"

I frowned down at me my mate "You know my accountant?"

She looked up and smiled "His five year old son is in my class. Sweetest little boy. He gave me a card and a lovely pair of earrings at the end of the school year" she said then looked at my accountant again "I hope to see Linda at the start of the New Year"

I watched my accountant give me mate a genuine smile "I will let Linda know and thank you for helping Jacob on his reading…he was struggling at first but thanks to you he's even taking up reading for fun"

"Not at all, I was happy to spend the extra time with him"

I sighed rubbing my face "Mr. Mason I want you to double check that contract and send me a copy of it. I know for a fact that it was airtight"

The man nodded "Right away Mr. Taisho and it was a pleasure to see you again Miss. Higurashi…"

"Mrs. Tashio" I cut in glaring at the man "You will address her Mrs. Tashio"

My accountant blinked before nodding "Of course, excuse Mr. and Mrs. Tashio"

I shook my head. I couldn't fire the man now, I know it would only upset Kagome and now that I knew she knew his family and liked their child, I figured I could give him another chance.

"Mrs. Tashio?" she said looking up at me.

"You are going to be my wife someday, they might as well get use to calling that" I said. She was going to be my mate….very soon.

I felt her arms wrap around me calming me down, making the stress from the day melt away. I went to sit in my leather chair and pulled her on my lap. I held her for a long while she ran her fingers through my hair. I was in utter heaven and didn't want her to leave now but I had more work to do.

"I needed this" I said pulled her to me so that I could kiss those full lips I loved so much. Her presence was like a salve on my temper, taming the beast within me until it was purring contently.

"You stress too much honey" she said softly.

"Part of the territory of being all- powerful" I said with amusement in my voice.

"Well your stress is making everyone around you freak out" she said making me scoff.

"As well they should be" I muttered darkly. If I had to deal with incompetent people then they could very well deal with my temper as the result of it.

I heard her laugh softly before she started to kiss my neck making me hold her tighter to me.

"Are you going to behave and stop being an ogre to your poor employees?" she whispered making me roll my eyes at her.

"I am not an ogre. I expect for them to do the job that they were hired for" I said dryly.

"Yes, well…..one is only human after all" she said smiling at me brushing some of my hair from my eyes.

"Indeed. Not that I am not happy to see you my love but I now have a feeling that this was a setup" I said and I had a pretty good idea who her information was. Drat these women….always conspiring.

Kagome laughed "You're being paranoid. I do have a purpose for being here. I'm hungry and wanted to know if you had any plans?"

"Any cravings?"

I saw her scrunch up her face adorably "I really want some salmon rolls"

I pinned her with a stern look "You know you can't have that, choose something else" I hated to deny her anything but when it came to her health and our pup I had to.

"Darn, well how about we head to the café around the corner I'll decide there?" she said getting up from my lap.

Once we were down on the street we walked over to the café that was two blocks down. I glowered at the many stares my mate was getting from the males around her. Placing a hand around waist I growled at the ones who still couldn't take the hint. Could they not see her visible baby bump or the fact that I had my arm around her?

Looking down at her long raven hair I was both proud and annoyed. I was proud at how lovely she was, how she seemed to lure men to her without effort and extremely annoyed at how captivated those males where that they didn't even seem to notice the tall demon next to her. Such beauty did she hold, even more while she glowed from happiness.

Once we reached the café she told me of the things she purchased but knowing her she didn't even make a dent in the account.

"I told you Kagome, you can buy anything you want…..and not just for the baby. You deserve to be spoiled" I said reaching over to take her hand.

"I know honey" she said "but I'm still trying to come to terms at how fast this is all going"

As the waitress brought over some tea and placed our orders I noticed a pair of eyes watching my mate from inside of the café just beyond the glass french doors. The man wasn't anyone I could recognize and he was human. I didn't know why it bothered me so much, plenty of men watched her, it couldn't be helped, my angel was a beautiful woman after all. Yet…this was more than just the simple observation of a male admiring a female, no this man was observing her far too carefully.

Looking back at my mate she gave me a soft smile before shaking her head "I still find it so unreal that we have been together as long as we have. It makes me wonder what would have happened if I had not gotten on that elevator"

I had thought of it but then remembered who her cousin was "I would have met you sooner or later Kagome. InuYasha and Kikyo are set to marry are they not? We would have met at their wedding"

"Yes" she nodded "That's true…but would we have spoken to each other?"

I thought on that for a moment then remembered how captivated I was with her when I first met her and knew my answer "I would ensure to know your name" I said confidently

She gave me a little smirk, her baby blue eyes swimming with mischief "So sure that I would have given you the time of day?"

I pinned her with a dark hungry look smiling inwardly when I notice the small shiver she tried to hide but her scent told me just how attuned she was to me "I would have seduced you in any way possible" I said enjoying the look of surprise in her face "I would have ensured that by the time our meeting was over, you would have no doubt that I wanted you"

Kagome lowered her eyes blushing a pretty shade of pink making her look heartbreakingly beautiful. Yes, I had not doubts in my mind that if I would have met her under some other circumstance the outcome would have been the same. She still would have been as she is right now, sitting across from me with my scent around her body and my pup within her womb. This had always been her fate; she had been born to become my mate. I would have no other.

Once our food was served and I made sure my mate had enough to eat so that I could focus on the man who had been studying Kagome earlier. My eyes went to the table the man had been and growled internally when I saw that it was empty. I was sure that the man worked for Naraku.

What did the spider hanyou have against me anyways? It had to be more than just the fact that I bought out his company…I was sure of it. The investigation reports I had on him where still incomplete; the blasted man had his hands into some dirty dealings making him harder to track.

"Sessh?"

I looked at my mate; she was wearing a look of concern on her angelic face "Is everything okay?"

I gave her a small rare smile to ease her concern, pleased when her face softened "Just have my mind on the mountain of paperwork waiting for me" I said knowing that she would believe my little white lie…not that I didn't have a ton of work but still.

"Well I'm done" she said taking a sip of her tea. Getting up I helped her on her feet but not before I placed a hand on her the small swell of her belly and caressed it.

"Mine" I whispered then leaned down to her kissing the top of her head gently. The threats to my little female made my demon side flare up more often, making me extremely possessive and feral around her.

She placed a small hand on top of mine and leaded into me "Yes, yours you overly zealous demon" she giggled softly, satisfying my demon.

Once I made sure she was safety in the car I asked Shippo to drive her straight home and to stay there and guard her until I got home. I also made sure that my men were on alert. I didn't like the way that man was studying Kagome today.

It was close to 6pm when my cell phone went off. Looking at it I found it odd that InuYasha would be calling so late.

"What is it InuYasha?" I said wondering if he had any new information.

"Are you home or at work?"

I frowned "At work"

"Okay I'm going over…I found something you need to know"

I did not like where this was going. Hanging up I walked over to the bar area in my office and poured me a glass of a special stock of whiskey and let my mind wonder a bit. Overlooking the skyline of the Los Angeles area I wondered what InuYasha found that was making him come all the way over here for.

I messaged Kagome letting her know that InuYasha asked to wait for him last minute and that I would be late coming home.

Lol- he's probably trying to get you to go to a strip club with him….I think him and Kikyo are fighting.

I scoffed at her message. How my brother put up with that female of his was a mystery to. I would have gone absolutely mad by now.

I do not have need to see other women parading around in not but their skin. That is why I have you at home my sweet; perhaps you can treat me to a dance once I am home.

I smirked thinking of the blush my mate must have after reading that.

I think that can be arranged…..

I felt my eyes flash red for a moment my body tightening in response to the teasing of my female. My little minx was in a flirtatious mood tonight and I found myself anxious to go home. This night will prove to be most enjoyable….

Fifteen minutes later I felt he aura of my brother coming close.

"I know why he's after you" he said in for of a greeting.

Turning around I raised an eyebrow at him noticing the manila folder in his hand.

"You have my attention" I said sitting down and gesturing him to do so as well "What is his motivations then?"

InuYasha slid the folder over to me "Do you remember a woman named Sara?"

Frowning I opened it and inside the first thing I saw was the photo of a human woman with long dark brown hair, pale skin and a snobbish expression.

"Ah yes" I said then sorted "She was a very promiscuous woman. I met her about three years back during a holiday gala. She was very forward and asked if I would dance with her. I was bored and so I did"

"What else did you do with her?" asked InuYasha

I pinned my brother with a cold glare "If you asking if I bedded the wench then the answer is yes. She was more than willing, all but dragged me to her apartment and begged for me to fuck her so I did. She fell asleep and I left. I had told her from the beginning to not have any romantic notions regarding this Sesshomaru; I would not mate her or date her"

InuYasha groaned "Well that bitch was Naraku's fiancé" he said "After your little romp she fell into a depression, broke off the engagement and eventually died of an overdosed"

"What does that have to do with me?" I said growling looking at the picture of human who had not entered my mind in years.

"It turns out that she had kept a journal and when she died it fell into the hands of Naraku. He never knew why she had broken off the engagement. In her journal she wrote about you, she fell in love with you that night Sessh and now Naraku sees you as the reason why she left him and her dead"

With a sigh I leaned back and closed my eyes "So…..it's more personal than merely a sunken company"

"Yup, it was planned" said InuYasha "His plan was for you to die in that explosion….I don't know what made him change his mind. Kagome should not have been a factor if he truly wanted revenge"

I looked at the photo of human girl and cursed "It's because he was not able to kill Kagome" I said standing up a snarl ripping from my throat "Once he saw my interest in her, his objective changed. He is after Kagome but not kill her….don't you realize what his after?"

InuYasha frowned his eyes vacant has his mind ran several possibilities before he looked up at me again, his emotions mirrored in his darker amber eyes.

"Shit…he's looking for a replacement. He wants to make Kagome his mate" he said his voice thick "We need to stop him Sessh or you need to mate her…now"

"It won't matter to him if she already mated, he will still take her" I said then looked at the time "forward me all of the information you have, I will touch base with you tomorrow. We are going to go hunting for this spider"

"What about your job?" said InuYasha standing up and followed me to the elevator. My desire to be near my pupped female was making my thought patterns wild and savage.

"I am taking time off. My responsibility to my mate is far more important than any cooperation" I said. I would have to tell my father, he will not be happy but I could care less my mate was my priority "Gather some of your best men and meet me at the penthouse tomorrow. I will not leave my mate alone and vulnerable"

InuYasha nodded to me "You got it"

The ride home seemed unusually long; the need to hold Kagome was like a burning living animal under the surface of my skin. My demon would not rest until the threat to my mate was removed from this world.

Once I opened the door of my home I took deep breathes of Kagome's scent. She was in the living room; I could hear the comedy she was watching on the television. Putting my bag and coat down I walked in and immediately went to scoop her up and sat down placing her on my lap.

"Geez Sessh!" she said placing a hand on her chest "Don't do that! You know what the doctor said…no giving me any mini heart attacks"

I nuzzled her neck inhaling her sweet scent "Forgive me angel, my desire to have you close made me forgetful"

I heard her sigh and wrap her arms around me "You hungry? I'll reheat dinner for you"

As I watched her bustling in the kitchen I felt my determination solidify. I will make her my mate tonight. I could not afford to lose her to Naraku or to her failing heart. I wanted her to give me permission first but I could not wait for it. I hated to take yet another one of her choices away but I loved her too much to ever learn how to live without her.

"Have you thought about what I had asked you a few months back?" I said taking a piece of the almost raw steak and placed it in my mouth. Her pretty eyes blinked in confusion as she ate a small bowl of ice cream.

"What did you ask me?" she said "I'm sorry…..I guess I forgot"

Of course she did.

Every other woman would have jumped at the chance at being my mate, but not Kagome, oh no…..she was so sweetly oblivious to my wealth and title regardless of her living with me.

"Do you agree to become my mate" I said leaning forward to take her hand and brought it my lips.

"Is that different than a wife?" she said tilting her head.

"In some ways but the concept is very close together" I said. I gazed into her eyes and dropped the mask I wore to the world and allowed her to see my yearning, my desire and my need for her to say yes to me.

She smiled softy, her hand moving to caress one of the strips on my face "You want to marry me?"

"I do" I said. Wiping my lips I stood up and took her hand leading her to our bedroom. Once there I closed the door and rounded on my soon to be mate.

I watched in amusement as her eyes went wide "Now?" she squeaked taking a step back.

"Yes now"

Fire burned through my veins and that ever present lust for her rose to the surface tinting my eyes red.

"Do you accept me as your alpha and mate?" I said caressing her hair, her face my hands wondering over her body feeling like I would go up in flames if I didn't get to make love to her soon.

"Yes" she whispered her own hands starting to unbutton my shirt.

I reached up and pulled the tie to my hair and shook it out before I growled low enjoying the shivers coming from her small body. My demon was close to the surface, the scent of her arousal egging my demon to come out and claim the female carrying my seed within her.

"Mine" I growled my hands stripping her of her clothing while my mouth sought her out, teasing her, savoring the sweetness of her mouth in long drugging kisses. Seduction was my aim for her this night and I would not stop until she passed out from sheer pleasure.

~Kagome POV~

I didn't know if I was jumping into things.

This was a big step but what other choice did I have from the moment he entered my life? I loved him….loved him so much that it frightened me at times. If he truly wanted me then I would give myself to him and pray to all the gods that I would remain his for all time.

My hand touched the flat plans of his hard abs as I leaned in and started to kiss every inch of his smooth skin that I could get my lips on. His scent was addicting, calling out to a reckless side of me that wanted him to take me like the animal I knew lived inside of him. Sex with him was always raw without inhibitions. He made love like a man who knew how to touch a woman, how to make her scream his name and ruin her to all other men.

My body grew hotter with ever caress of his big clawed hands, I couldn't help the little shudders that ran down my spine. His mouth was doing wicked things to my skin, he seemed determine to lick and nibble ever inch making me mewl in response.

The feeling of emptiness and wanting burned, I needed him, craved him, wanted to feel that indescribable connection that I could only get with him.

Lifting me up he gently set me down on our bed. I smiled, he was so powerful, so fierce and ruthless to the world but he always treated me like I was precious. Here with just the two of us, I saw the tender side of him that nobody knew of. This….this is want made me love him all the more.

Wrapping my arms around his neck I pulled him closer to me "I love you…..I will always love you" I breathed out placing a soft sweet kiss on the tip of his elfin ear.

I felt him growl, his body vibrating "As do I angel" he said before I felt him enter my body.

Crying out in pleasure and joy I gave my heart and soul him, forever linking myself to him. I opened my aura to him; I could feel his love, his need and his joy. He has been so alone, for centuries he has roamed the earth without companionship. I vowed I would be his light; he would never be alone again.

Gods he felt incredible, it was always like this, I will never stop wanting him, never be satisfied, he was a permanent part of my soul now. I loved how the muscles on his back bunched as he grunted and moved in strong fast strokes, how his silky hair would spill around us, teasing my skin with its softness.

I was not afraid of his red eyes, knew that his demon loved me and cherished me. Instead I turned my neck….an offering. I felt his fangs sink deep causing me to topple off the edge and fall into the sweet oblivion of pleasure.

Heat.

Lighting.

Power.

My heart thumped franticly in my chest, my breathing caught, I could feel his youkai inside of me. I felt like the weight would crush me, its power was enormous and his desire vast. It wanted me, coveted me, wanted to claim me and dominate me.

Accept it…

I could hear Sesshomaru's voice in my head.

Submit to my demon and become one with me….be mine forever my angel…

I stopped fighting and exhaled. The beast purred contently and merged with my soul until the weight lifted.

Opening my eyes I looked up at his red eyes and purred low. Frowning I looked around the room. Colors where shaper, lights where brighter and sounds where louder. His hands on my face pulled my attention to my mate.

My mate…..

When did I start regarding him like that?

"I know it's strange love, you will get used to it"

His voice was deep, smooth and alluring. I knew his voice but now it sounded so much more attractive. I looked into his eyes, reaching out I caressed his markings before going to nuzzle his neck inhaling he scent of my alpha.

Wait…

Shaking my head I frowned "why do I think in term of a canine now?" I asked feeling a bit scared.

"Do not be afraid angel; it is my youkai within you. Give it some time and you will disregard it in a few years"

I saw his eyes going to my forehead, a smile on his lips as he leaned forward and kissed the area "Mine" he whispered.

My fingers went to my forehead "What?"

Smirking I felt him ease himself out of me, I moaned, I still wanted him.

"In a bit love" he promised his smooth voice low and husky with desire. Lifting me up he took me to the bathroom, flipping on the light he let down and turned me so that I could look at myself in the mirror.

I gasped.

On my forehead was his crescent moon with a magenta ring around it and my eyes where still blue but they now had golden flakes.

His arms wrapped around my waist, he rubbed my tummy then kissed my neck where his fang marks stood out.

"My mark states that you belong to me now. You are my mate from here until the gods send us off into the other world and even then….we will be together"

I leaned back into his chest and closed my eyes.

I had been terrified of this, Sesshomaru was a naturally possessive man but I have learned that I had just as much leverage over him. Through our bond I learned that he was afraid of me ever leaving his side…he was tired of being alone.

Turning around I put my hands on the edge of the sink and hopped on the edge my legs going to his waist and pulled him closer to me. Running my nails down his chest I enjoyed hearing him hiss.

"Love me mate" I all but purred to him.

I felt alive!

A new strength ran through my veins, my heart felt strong and healthy again and the youkai inside of me was making me feel very frisky. I wanted the hard hot body of my alpha against mine; I wanted him to show me why he was so feared.

He must have read what I wanted because his eyes flashed red again.

It was a good thing I was already carrying his pup because had I not…..I would have been before this night was done.
