"Romeo," Helena groaned as Romeo kissed her neck. "We can't not right now."
"Why not?" Romeo groaned as he held Helena close to him. "We know we're mates."
"Because we have a pack to take care of," Helena hissed.
As much as she wanted to be in his arms and for them to be fully mated, they still had the matter of their recently attacked pack.
"I need you," Romeo groaned.
"You have me," Helena sighed as she rested her head against his. "But our pack needs us."
Romeo sighed and shook his head.
"I just want to be fully mated to you," Romeo groaned.
"And we will be," Helena said as she kissed his lips. "But Rome, you have a job to do, a pack to lead."
Romeo nodded as he kissed her again.
"I was so worried I'd lose you this time," Romeo confessed as he let out a breath. "When I sensed them coming, I just had to protect you."
"Romeo, I can protect myself," Helena sighed. "I heal faster than the normal wolf, and you know, magic."
