Raven’s POV

Leo tears his eyes away from mine and rakes them over my body. Reaching forward he fiddles with the tie of my robe. I am both shocked and excited at the same time. I have to admit that my body is calling out for him to touch me, but I know that I cannot give in that easily. If I do, I will just be another notch in his bedpost.

I take a step back from Leo, but he doesn’t let go of my robe tie. With a simple tug on the tie, my robe falls open and I am partially exposed in front of him. Leo steps toward me once again and slides a hand in the opened robe and snakes it around my back, pulling me flush again him. A flurry of sparks erupts all over my skin and a m**n escapes my lips.

“Leo,” I whisper as a warning but he doesn’t stop.

Leaning down he nuzzles his nose into my hair taking in my scent. A small rumble leaves his lips, it almost sounds like a purr. I feel like I am turning to putty in his hands.

‘Pull yourself together,’ Rose chimes in breaking the spell that Leo has over me.

Pushing Leo away from me, I quickly shut my robe. “Awe baby,” he m***s. “Don’t be like that.”

And there it is the line that he has probably used on hundreds of girls to sneak his way into their pants. I feel like a fool and I am humiliated. Leo takes another step toward me and I slap him across the face. Leo looks at me stunned.

“You slapped me,” he whispers as he holds his cheek.

“And you were about to treat me like a common w***e,” I snap back at him. “Don’t forget your place, Alpha Leo. I am your Queen.”

“Wow,” Leo says with a smug look on his face. “It looks like I misread the situation.”

“I would say that you did,” I hold my head high and try not to look at him.

“Please accept my apology, Luna Queen,” Leo says but I don’t miss the sarcasm in his voice. He is not a bit sorry.

“I will be departing early tomorrow morning,” I inform him. “Perhaps our paths will cross again someday.”

“You can’t seriously be thinking about leaving her tomorrow,” Leo suddenly seems sober. “We just met one another. You are my mate.”

“I have a schedule that I must adhere to,” I say formally. “I cannot stay any longer than necessary.”

“Surely the other packs would understand that you wanted to spend some more time with your mate.” Leo’s green eyes are pleading with me.

“You are not to tell anyone that I am your mate,” I command him. “I will figure out what to do with you once this pack tour is over.”

Leo steps back and shakes his head. “What to do with me?” He repeats my words. “What to do with me? I am not some trinket that is going to sit around on a shelf and wait to be played with. I am a person.”

“I understand that,” I say keeping my tone even. “But I was not expecting to find my mate on the first night that I shifted and I am sorry that it had to be you. But you have to understand my predicament. I am the first Luna Queen. I have to behave as such.”

“A true Luna Queen would not reject her mate. The one person that was set upon this earth just for her,” Leo counters. “A true Queen of the werewolves would respect the mate bond.”

“I am not rejecting you and I will respect the mate bond,” I tell him honestly. “But I am not sure that I can say the same for you.”

I look him up and down and the visions of girls leaving his bed almost every morning flash through my mind. Many of them he didn’t even remember their names.

Leo is, once again, too stunned to speak. Tightening the robe around my body I turn to leave his office. I expect him to call out after me, but he doesn’t and disappointment rises in my chest.

Closing his office door behind me I begin to make my way up to my bedroom. There are only a few hours left before I have to wake up to continue my trip.

“Luna Queen,” a meek voice comes from behind me.

I turn to see the Omega she-wolf that stayed by my side while I shifted. I offer her a warm smile and retreat down the stairs to greet her.

“You can’t seriously be thinking about leaving her tomorrow,” Leo suddenly seems sober. “We just met one another. You are my mate.”

“I apologize,” I begin. “I didn’t get your name before.”

The Omega bares her neck to me as I approach her and hands me a tattered piece of cloth. “This is what I could salvage of the dress you shifted in,” the Omega explains. “I thought you may want to have it.”

I hold the tattered pieces of my white gown to my chest and a single tear rolls down my cheek. “What is your name?” I ask her again.

“My name is Elise,” she says not meeting my gaze.

“Elise,” I repeat thoughtfully. “What is your job here at the Blue Moon Pack?”

Swallowing hard, Elise looks scared to answer me. Placing a hand gently on her shoulder I try to reassure her that it is okay to speak with me.

“I do the cleaning,” she says quietly.

“Is this a job you do all on your own?” I ask her.

She shakes her head no and I smile from ear to ear. “How would you like to come with me as my assistant?”

Elise’s eyes shine with tears as she finally looks into mine. “Alpha would never allow it,” she says quietly.

“You leave your Alpha up to me,” I tell her. “Now go pack, we leave in a couple of hours.”

Elise runs off in the direction of the Omega quarters and I watch her with a smile on my face. Holding my head high, I make my way back to Leo’s office. Not bothering to knock, I fling the door open and find Leo, clutching his bottle of bourbon and swaying back and forth behind his desk.

He looks up at me and smiles but he quickly wipes the smile from his face when he sees how serious the look on my face is.

“I am taking one of your Omegas with me. A she-wolf by the name of Elise,” I tell Alpha Leo and he looks at me stunned.

“You can’t just take one of my servants,” he hisses at me.

“This wasn’t a request,” I laugh in his face. “It was more of an FYI.”
