“Don’t cry.” Mac wiped his tears. “I’m happy for the first time in my life. I’m happy, Griean.”
“Oh Mac,” Griean said, pulling him into his arms

Mac
A week later.
The bonding ceremony was a simple affair, open only to family and friends. The whole planet went crazy when they heard their alpha king was getting bonded. Mac held his breath waiting for the name calling and bullying to start. But it never came. If people said something they didn’t say it publicly. He knew it was all because of Deltta, and Mac fell in love with him more.
For the first time in his life, Mac chose to wear a bright-colored long shirt. The yellow made him look youthful and complimented his hair. He looked gorgeous.
His mother stepped behind him, tears in her eyes. “I told you he was out there, didn’t I?”
“No, I don’t remember that,” Mac said playfully. He turned to her. “You taught me many things, mom. And I am grateful. Without you, I wouldn’t be who I am. Thank you.”
She waved him off, wiping at her eyes. “You did it all by yourself. I was just there to help you along. Your father too.”
Mac looked over at his father. He stood against the wall, blending in with everything. He liked it like that. He was a strong alpha, a provider, and a loving father. Mac had dreamt of falling for an alpha like him one day, but fate gave him far more. His father smiled. Mac walked to him and hugged him.
“Thank you, dad,” he said.
“You’re going to make the whole family cry. Go and bond with your alpha. He’s waiting for you.”
“Right. Let’s go.” They made their way out of the room to Deltta’s office. Everyone was waiting in there to serve as witnesses. Mac walked up to his alpha. His eyes heated as he stared at him.
Every time, Mac thought as his body turned warm. He pushed his desire away and focused on the officiating officer's instructions. They declared their devotion to each other in front of their families and friends. Mac couldn’t stop smiling. Deltta pulled him close and sealed their bond with a searing kiss.
“You are officially mine now,” he growled out.
“Not completely,” Mac winked. Before Deltta could say anything, their families and friends descended to congratulate them. They ate, drank, and danced the night away. Later, when everyone was too busy to notice, Deltta dragged him away.
“What took you so long?” Mac complained as he pulled his shirt over his head. “I waited all night for you.”
Deltta laughed as he wrapped his arms around him and pulled him against his chest. His teeth grazed his neck, right where his claiming mark should be.
Claim me, Mac silently begged.
“So impatient,” he growled, sucking on his skin.
Oh fuck, Mac whined.
Deltta reached for his pants and shoved them to his knees. “On the bed.”
Mac shivered at his commanding tone. He dropped to his knees, head buried in the covers.
The bed dipped, and heat covered his back.
He loved his weight on him; it made him feel small and delicate.
“Do you accept my claiming mark?” he asked. Mac felt the weight of his questions, and he quickly nodded. “Baby words, give me your words.”
“I do,” he said.
“I love you,” Deltta said just as he sank his cock deep inside his hole while he bit into his neck.
Pain and pleasure crashed together, sending him over. Cum shot out of his cock, coating the covers beneath him.
