Chapter 274
~Tempest’s POV~
"Then do it," Koda growled as his cock slamd into , hitting the spot that drove crazy.
"Koda, Koda, KODA!" He groaned, his movents becoming more erratic with every word that fell out of my lips.
"Tempest," he moaned, his hands gripping my ass.
"Cum," I ordered.
"Yes," he groaned, his cock pulsing inside . I shivered as my orgasm hit hard.
"Fuck," he growled, his thrusts growing faster and faster until he found his release.
"Tempest," he gasped, his body tensing, his hips jerking.
My vision blurred as the waves of pleasure washed over . "Koda," I sighed, resting my head against his chest.
"Are you okay?" I nodded. "Good." He held close, his arms wrapping around . I nuzzled his neck, enjoying the feeling of his embrace
"We should get cleaned up," he suggested.
"Yeah." Koda grabbed the body wash, and I smiled, loving how the scent of sandalwood and orange mixed with his natural scent.
After cleaning each other up, Koda carried back to bed, not bothering to dress us.
"Get so sleep, love," he whispered.
"I will. Just... Stay with ," I mumbled, snuggling against him as sleep finally claid .

~Koda’s POV~
I stared down at her sleeping form, morising every inch of her beautiful face, from her delicate features to her silky red hair.
She looked so peaceful, and I wanted to protect her, to keep her safe.
"Mate," my wolf purred.
I sighed, running a hand through my hair.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"What’s wrong with ? Nothing. Why do you think sothing is wrong with ? Maybe I love the fact that she is our mate," my wolf stated. "Mark her and claim her already."
"We can’t mark her. Not yet. As much as I would, I want it to be done properly. I want to propose to her and..."
My wolf rolled his eyes at , and I shook my head. Just as I sat up to leave, Tempest tossed on the bed and I froze.
Just then I sensed Alpha Sloan’s voice in my head and imdiately connected with him through the mind link.
"Yes, Alpha. I’ll be there soon."
Quickly, I planted a kiss on Tempest’s forehead before leaving to shower.
As much as I wanted to stay with her, I couldn’t. My duty was to protect the pack, especially our Alpha and Luna.

~Tempest’s POV~
The morning light stread through the window, casting a soft glow over the room. I stretched beneath the warm covers, but the mont I reached for Koda, I realised he wasn’t there.
Frowning, I sat up just as the door creaked open. Koda walked in, fully dressed, his usual relaxed deanour replaced by sothing more urgent.
"Good morning, love," he said softly, leaning down to kiss my forehead.
I smiled up at him, though the worry in his eyes didn’t escape . "Good morning. Where are you off to this early?"
"Alpha Sloan called for ," he explained, brushing a strand of hair from my face. "Sothing about rogue sightings near the border. I have to go."
I nodded, though the ache in my chest was undeniable. I didn’t want him to leave so soon and have this self-barricaded spell I cast on myself fade. "Be careful."
He gave a small smile before leaning in and kissing deeply, his lips lingering against mine. "I’ll be back soon. Wait for , Tempest."
"I will," I whispered, watching him leave with a mix of longing and guilt.
The room felt emptier without him, and as I sat there, mories of last night played through my mind. His touch, his kisses, the way he looked at as though I were his entire world.
But as much as I wanted to stay in this blissful bubble, reality weighed heavily on . I had failed to tell him the truth. Failed to explain why I had co here in the first place.
And now, I was deeply entangled. My heart ached at the thought of what I was going to do to him.
"What truth?" I muttered to myself. Each ti I was with Koda, every kiss, every touch—it felt like a piece of that had been missing was finally restored. My soul felt whole and my heart at peace.
But it didn’t erase the other truth—the pull I felt toward Ryland. As exhilarating as my connection with Koda was, I couldn’t ignore the charms of both n.
I ran a hand through my hair, frustration bubbling in my chest. "Get it together, Tempest."
The decision I had avoided for weeks lood over like a dark cloud. After several minutes of thinking about everything, following my mother’s advice and Sumr’s incessant grumbling each ti Ryland was ntioned, there, sitting alone in Koda’s bed, I finally made it.
I couldn’t string them both along any longer. I had to choose.
Rising from the bed, I went for a bath, allowing my muscles and self to relax in the tub for another fifteen minutes before stepping out.
Once I got dressed quickly, slipping into jeans and a soft sweater. I glanced around Koda’s room, the faint scent of sandalwood lingered in the air.
My heart ached as I picked up a piece of paper and scribbled a quick note:
"Koda, thank you for everything. I need so ti to think. I’ll see you soon. With love – Tempest."
I placed the note on his nightstand, smoothing it down before grabbing my bag. With one last glance around the room, I walked out, the weight of my decision pressing down on .
Once I was outside, I pulled out my phone and scrolled to Ryland’s na. My thumb hovered over the screen for a mont before I typed a ssage:
"Ryland, I need to see you. Can we et at the old forest trail near the Crescent Ridge? Noon."
Hitting send, I exhaled deeply and slid the phone back into my pocket. The decision had been made. Now, I just had to face it.
