Raven’s POV

“That’s not what I meant when I said I needed help!” I squeal loudly. “I can dress myself.”

“Then why haven’t you done it yet,” Leo grins at me.

“Because I was busy,” I respond, crossing my arms over my chest in protest.

“The car will be here in less than twenty minutes,” Leo laughs at my excuse. “Come on, arms up.”

“I am not letting you dress me!” I wrap my arms around myself tighter.

“Have you forgotten? I have already seen you naked,” Leo wags his eyebrows up and down.

I chew on my l*p as I think about the night everything fell apart. I had been so willing to give myself to Leo at that moment. Then we were interrupted, and my whole life changed for the second time. Oliver came into my life with his goofy grin and endless knowledge. Unlike with Leo, I was instantly drawn to Oliver. Of course, I didn’t delve into his mind like I did to Leo.

A series of tingles breaks me out of my thoughts. Leo is running his fingertips along my arms. Gently, he grabs my wrists and untangles my arms from around my chest. He never takes his eyes off mine, and I am transported back to that night when I was alone with Leo.

Raising my arms over my head, I wait for Leo’s next move. Leo grabs the hem of my nightgown and shimmies it over my head. The room’s cool air hits my chest, and my n*****s harden. Leo takes a step back, and his eyes graze over my body.

“Goddess, I wish we had more time,” Leo m***s as he reaches for the dress beside me.

“What would we do if we had more time?” I ask boldly.

“Oh, Little Bird,” Leo breathes out. “I would explore every inch of your body with my hands and my tongue. I would start at your neck and work my way down to your breasts. I would take my time licking and suckling each of your n*****s. Then, I would move my way lower. Kissing and touching every inch of your body. I would slide my fingers between your wet folds, f*****g you with my fingers. Then I would taste you. I have been dying to taste you from the first moment I saw you. I want to run my tongue along your p***y. Lapping up all of your juices. Once I have brought you pleasure with my fingers and my mouth, I will climb between your legs and claim you as my own.”

I squirm where I sit and can feel my panties growing wet. I now wish that we had more time.

“What’s wrong, Luna Queen?” Leo says humorously. “Did I make you all hot and bothered?”

“I am fine,” I say quietly.

“I can smell your arousal,” Leo’s eyes darken. “Do you want me as much as I want you?”

I swallow hard. “We don’t have time,” I mumble.

“Trust me,” Leo says. “I know that we don’t have enough time. What I have planned for you will take hours?”

My breath hitches as I think about being touched by Leo for hours. Leo doesn’t take his eyes off my naked body as he reaches out and palms one of my breasts. His fingers tweak my n****e, and a soft mewl escapes my lips.

Carefully, I get to my feet and wrap my arms around Leo’s neck. I pull him in close and press my lips to his. The k**s is hungry and desperate. Our tongues explore each other’s mouths and fight one another for dominance.

Leo wraps his arms around me and gently caresses my back. The electricity from the mate bond spreads throughout my body, and I am humming with anticipation.

I don’t care if we are late. I want this, and I want it right now. I want to feel Leo between my legs. I want to wear his mark on my neck. I want everyone to know that I belong to him.

The longer we k**s, the stronger the tether that connects us becomes. I feel stronger. And then I have a realization. A werewolf becomes stronger once they have found their mate. If Leo were to mark me, my wolf could become strong enough to heal me.

‘It is not a bad idea,’ Rose says weakly in my mind. ‘If both marked us, it would be better.’

Leo breaks away from the k**s and leans his forehead against mine. We are panting for air as we look into each other’s eyes.

“Leo,” I whisper.

“Yes, My Love,” he whispers in return.

“I want you to mark me,” I say, trying to sound confident.

“I will,” Leo m***s next to my ear. “Soon.”

“No,” I say, trying to stand up straighter. “I want you to mark me right now.”

“I already told you that we don’t have enough time for that,” he whispers as he places little k****s where he will mark me one day.

“You don’t understand,” I whimper. “You could possibly heal me.”

Leo pulls away from me and looks at me with a confused look. “What do you mean I could heal you?”

“A werewolf only becomes stronger when their mate marks them,” I beg. “You could possibly make my wolf strong enough to heal me.”

“Is that what your wolf is telling you?” Leo asks.

I nod. “Rose believes it would be better if you both marked me, but you are the only one here right now.”

“Raven,” Leo pulls away from me, and I fall back on the bed. “This isn’t how I want to mark you.”

“You would rather me be unable to walk,” I cry. “Please, I will never ask you for anything ever again.”

“When you mark your mate, it is supposed to be a special moment between two werewolves. It is supposed to be a moment of ecstasy and pleasure. Not done out of desperation,” Leo has tears forming in his eyes.

“Forget I said anything,” I say quietly. “It was a stupid idea anyway.”

I grab the blue dress off the bed beside me and pull it over my head. I don’t dare look up at Leo. I don’t want him to see the look of desperation on my face.

‘I am sorry,’ I say to Rose. ‘I tried.’

‘Don’t be sorry,’ Rose answers me. ‘Leo is right. Now is not the right time.’

Slowly, I get to my feet and try to stumble my way across the room to the wheelchair that is waiting for me. Suddenly, Leo grabs me from behind and pushes my hair off my neck.

“What are you…” I begin but am interrupted by Leo’s canines sinking into my flesh.
