The Alpha Triplets And The Rogue
Chapter 194

Raven’s POV

My body is writhing underneath Leo’s, and he hasn’t even touched me. It feels like every nerve of my body is set on its end, waiting for him to touch me. For a moment, I have forgotten that we are in a hospital room where anyone could walk in at any time. My eyes are locked on his, and there is nothing else in the world but Leo and me.

Carefully I raise my hands and wrap them around his shoulders. The tips of my fingers dig into his flesh, begging him to lean forward and k**s me. But Leo doesn’t move. His body hovers inches above mine. Only his hospital gown brushes up against me. An unfamiliar feeling begins to pool in the pit of my stomach. It makes me feel good and uncomfortable all at the same time.

Leo lowers his body down onto mine. The hospital bed creaks loudly under our weight. Feeling his weight on top of me sends me into a frenzy. It is like my body has a mind of its own. My h**s buck against his, and I can feel his long e******n through the thin hospital gown pressing up against my leg.

Wrapping my arm around his neck, I pull him in close, nuzzling my nose into his skin. I breathe in his fresh scent, and a soft m**n escapes my lips. “Leo,” I whisper.

Suddenly Leo’s weight is no longer on top of me anymore, and he is hovering over me once again.

Leaning down, Leo whispers in my ear. “I told you, not like this.”

My bottom l*p pushes out into a full pout, causing Leo to chuckle. Embarrassment over my actions washes over me, and I pull my bottom l*p between my teeth to stop pouting. To my surprise, this earns a loud m**n from Leo, and he quickly gets off the bed and begins pacing back and forth in the hospital room.

A frown etches its way across my face. “Did I do something wrong?” I ask shyly.

“On the contrary,” Leo says as he runs his fingers through his hair. “You are doing all the right things, and I am afraid I won’t be able to hold back much longer.”

“Why are you holding back?” I ask boldly.

“Why are you holding back?” I ask boldly.

“Because I don’t want to scare you away,” Leo admits. “I want you to trust me.”

Sitting up in the bed, I stare at Leo with a confused look on my face. “You have saved me twice now. I trust you.”

“This is a different kind of trust,” Leo tells me as he finally sits on the room’s farthest chair.

I shake my head, not understanding what is going on. ‘Have already told him that I trust him,’ I whine to my wolf. ‘Why is he holding back?’

‘Perhaps he is trying to prove to you that he can be different from the man that you saw in the visions,’ Rose retorts, but I can tell that she is becoming just as frustrated with the lack of affection as I am.

I open my mouth to speak, but before I can think of something to say, the doctor walks into the room. “I see you are up and moving around,” the doctor says as he looks at Leo. “Are you feeling okay, Luna Queen?”

“Why do you ask?” I ask, straightening my shirt as I get out of bed.

“Your cheeks are flushed,” the doctor says as he lays the back of his hand against my forehead. “Has your fever returned?”

“I am fine,” I say, swatting the doctor’s hand away. “How much longer does Leo need to be here?”

The doctor is engrossed in his clipboard as I ask the question. “I think we can let Leo go today as long as he promises not to participate in any more challenges.”

“I can’t make that promise,” Leo says with his head held high. “If the Luna Queen needs me, I will fight for her.”

“I think you would be more useful to the Luna Queen alive,” the doctor says dryly.

“I agree,” I chime in, and Leo glares at me from across the room.

“Then who will protect you?” Leo grunts.

“I am sure we can find someone suitable while we are touring the other packs,” I say.

Leo raises his eyebrows. “We?” He questions me.

Swallowing hard before I answer, I look into Leo’s eyes. “Of course, we will make the decision together. You are my mate.”

This is the first time that I have openly and willingly called him my mate, and it doesn’t go unnoticed by Leo. His green eyes twinkle brightly, and a brilliant smile spreads across his lips.

He nudges the doctor with his elbow. “She is my mate,” he smiles.

The doctor rolls his eyes while he does his final check on Leo. “So I’ve heard,” the doctor says, unamused. The doctor then turns his attention to me, “As long as he behaves, he should be fine to leave. But I want his wound checked at every pack you go to until it is healed.”

Leo crosses his arms over his chest and lets out a little huff. “I am not a child,” he whines.

“Your actions beg to differ,” the doctor says seriously.

A low rumble of a growl reverberates from Leo’s chest as he glowers at the doctor, but the doctor does not seem phased by his anger.

“Your anger will be your downfall,” the doctor says to Leo as he leaves the room. “A nurse will be back shortly with your discharge papers.”

Leo crosses his arms over his chest and pouts like a child. Letting out a little sigh, I hand Leo the bag of clothes I gathered for him back at the pack house.

“I wasn’t sure what you wanted to wear,” I say, keeping my eyes trained on the ground. “So I just picked out the first things I could find.”

Leo opens the bag and smirks. He pulls out the light gray sweatpants I picked and holds them up. “Looking for a show, are you?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” I blush. “I thought you would want to be comfortable.”
