He realised then that she had to have been creating a list of questions for this very
moment. "I can feel it. There's a bond between us. Magical creatures can feel or see them
better than witches and wizards. It feels similar to the bond I share with my pack, but
more... more important. Essential."
"So does this make us... what? Married?"
His eyes widened in horror. "No! Bonds are... complicated. Especially with
werewolves. Bonds have to be prepared by emotional attachment, provoked by physical or
magical intention, and sealed with―" He paused and let a blush creep over his facial
features, avoiding her gaze. "Well, normal bonds are sealed with a ritual—like marriage—
but werewolves are different."
"How?"
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'd have to... be intimate with you."
"That doesn't sound so complicated." Nymphadora chuckled, looking pleased with
the idea.
Remus cursed the way that the sound she made went straight to his cock. Reminding
himself exactly how such an intimate encounter would end, he fought his desires. "And
then I would bite you."
Her laughter briefly faded. "More complicated. Would I... ?"
"No. I'd... I wouldn't bite you while transformed. You wouldn't be infected."
"Are you sure?"
Remus briefly thought of Mia, Sirius, and the orchards of Potter Manor. He
swallowed hard and cleared his throat. "Very sure. It didn't happen last time."
"Last time?" A line formed between her brows. "You've had a mate before me?"
"What? No! No! I meant—fuck—the Pack Bond. We umm... We sealed our Pack
Bond years ago."
"Oh." She bobbed her head, still looking a bit confused. After a moment, she lifted
a curious brow. "Wait. You had sex with and bit Sirius?"
"No!" Remus answered too quickly and then paused. "Well.. ."
"Holy Hufflepuff!" She laughed, her eyes widening comically.
Remus shook his head. "I didn't. There was... I mean—Oh, this is the worst
situation in the world. There was a witch as well. In the pack. I... I sealed it with her. Not
Sirius. Or well... Fine, Sirius was there but not... I did not have sex with him."
