This song is basically what Casee is thinking, in a slightly girly way---------> Hope you enjoy it!

Seth looked down at me emotions splashed across his face. He stared me for several moments long and hard almost as if he could see straight into me.

“Are you sure you want to know the answer to that?” He asked his voice low, like a whisper on the wind.

“If I didn’t want to know then I wouldn’t have asked.” I said with a small smile, hiding my nervousness.

Seth chuckled deep in his chest where I could feel the vibrations roll along my body. “No I guess not.” But his chuckles were short lived when we looked away from me and said, “I’m just scared that the answer will run you further away from me than where we started.”

“Hey,” I said adjusting myself on his lap so I could look directly into his face. “I know that there is something between us, something that I don’t understand fully, but I know enough that whatever you are going to tell me will not send me running. I am so tiered of running Seth; I just want to stay here, with you.” And I really did, I felt like I had something worth living for here. “I know I still have my problems with werewolves, but because of you I see a whole new side of them that I didn’t even know existed. Whatever you tell me I can take it, because you are the one who gave me purpose and I will never run from you.”

I felt as if I was overfilling with emotion, emotion for Seth. My heart was swelling and tears began to fill me eyes. I did the one thing that I could; I leaned in and kissed him. At first it was just a light brush of my lips against his, Seth seemed to be frozen with shock but soon began to kiss me back. It was everything I thought kissing Seth would be, it was beautiful and full of passion and..love. It made me feel like I was on top of the world and I knew from this day on that Seth was mine as I was his.

Almost too soon we broke the kiss, both breathing heavily.  

“Now that I have made it clear that I am going nowhere, what is a mate?” I said my voice coming out low and husky.

“Well,” Seth started and smile creeping onto his face, “it’s not like in the movies or in books. It’s not an instant connection that we have no choice about. Basically it’s our wolves tell us whenever we come across someone who they think would make an acceptable mate. Someone to give them strong healthy pups, and his worthy of whatever position the wolf holds in the Pack. But just because our wolves approve doesn’t mean that the human half has too, they have to been in harmony with each other.”

“Well finally I was beginning to wonder if the wolves were the ones running everything and not the man.” I said in a joking seriousness. 

“No fear love, the beast is always lurking close by.” He said with a teasing growl, “But as I was saying, both human and wolf have to be in agreement about their mate. But for many their wolves do not pick more than a very small handful in their youthful years so when their wolves do find someone they like the human is usually in quick agreement. It’s where the name of our partner comes from. Mate is short for soulmate, which is what many refer to each other as.” Sometime in his explanation we shifted us so we were now laying down on the bed, his flat on his back and me half laying across him with my head on his shoulder and leg hooked over his. Seth had his arms wrapped tightly around my body, holding me close to his.

“Am I your mate?” I asked

“I most certainly want you to be.” He said looking at me adoringly.

“What did your wolves think of me when you first saw me?” I suddenly had to know.

“I knew something was up with him before we actually saw you. We were running very fast, following your scent, and he was going crazy inside my head. I guess he figured that you had to be strong, being able to give us a chase worth wild, it helped that you smell exquisite.” I felt him press his face into my hair and breathe in deeply. “And then when we saw you, laying on the ground in too much pain to get up he wanted to kill whoever was responsible. Unfortunately you did that to yourself so he could rip into anything.” I could hear the smile in his voice, “From that point on he wanted to be with you at all times, and won’t leave me alone about it for an instant.”

“And the human, what did he think?”

“He thought that his wolf couldn’t be more right in choosing us an amazing mate.”  With that he leaned down and captured my lips with his. It was just as incredible as the first time and I felt heat flood my veins from the tip on my toes to the top of head. I melted into Seth’s embrace wanting to be lost in everything that was him.

We kissed for a few minutes and somehow I ended up completely on top of his straddling his hips. I pressed my body into the hard panels of his, feeling the ridged muscle that was hidden beneath his clothing.

“If we keep going like this I’m going to end up doing something that you wouldn’t understand.” Seth said pulling away and gulping down a breath.

“Oh, I understand it just fine.” I purred leaning down and kiss a trail of up neck.

“I know you understand that. But that is not what I was talking about.” 

I sat up and looked at him confused. “What are you talking about?”

“If we keep going I won’t be able to stop myself from taking and claiming you.” He told me.

“Claiming?” I asked hoping he would elaborate.

“Claim you permanently as my mate and mine allow; forever.” He said with dead seriousness.

“Oh.” I said looking down with a blush creeping into my cheeks.

“Yeah ‘oh’ exactly. I figured that suddenly biting you hard enough to draw blood would ruin the mood.” He said with a smirk.

“Biting!” I exclaimed.

“Well it’s a blood exchange really, but biting is the traditional way of going about it. By taking your blood, and you taking mine, it binds us together as a mated pair. But our scents will change slightly so that we constantly smell of the other to warn away all single wolves that we are taken. It also create a bond that is much like a Pack bond but stronger. Not only would I be able to talk with you mind to mind, but we can locate each other no matter where we and feel each other’s emotions.” He explained to me.

“So you bite me and I bite you while we are… and it creates the bond?” Was it just me or did that sounds out right strange?

“Yep, basically.”

“Then claim me. I finally feel like I belong. I know I belong here with you. I feel the connection we already have Seth. Make me yours so I can make you mine.” I whispered placing my hands, fingers spread, on his chest feeling the warmth through his shirt.

“Are you sure about this?” He asked, voice as soft as a feather.

I didn’t trust my voice anymore, so in answer I dipped my head forward and kiss him. This kiss wasn’t like the others we shared. It was hard and wanting, full the desire I was holding for him.

I let myself seek into that kiss and become enveloped in the scent of home and safetly.

The scent of Seth.
