    As soon as the door closed, his lips descended on mine. I moaned and pressed as close as possible. I was pinned to the wall. His lips went from gentle to rough and hungry in minutes.

"Love...."

    He groaned and ran with me to our room. Once there he slammed the door shut and threw me to the bed. I propped myself on my elbows as he discarded his jacket. Another wave of pain hit me and I whimpered.

"Make it stop. Please!"

     I sobbed and he pulled me against him, trailing his lips down my neck, sucking gently on my mark. I moaned loudly and ground my hips against him. I could feel his cock grow and harden against my inner thigh. I tugged at his shirt, needing to feel his skin. He groaned and tugged my dress off as I ripped his shirt, the material tearing easily. My hands connected with the skin of his chest, tracing the muscles.

      I kissed down his neck, nipping at his neck. My breathing came in ragged gasps, I scratched his chest gently and he groaned.

"Little mate... We need you."

"Take me."

     I whispered, he growled and stood, yanking down his pants. My legs parted and he sank into me with a gentle thrust. My body jerked and I clung to him, moaning. My hips met his thrust for thrust. I felt my teeth sharpen. I needed to mark him. It was rare for females to mark their mates. I was rare myself, so nothing about our bond was normal. I kissed his neck and scraped my teeth against his skin gently. He growled again and thrust harder. Our breathing became heavy and erratic. I screeched as I came around him. He kept thrusting, soon his rhythm became uneven, I felt his cock swell and I knew, it was now or never. I bit down on his neck and he came with a growl. Once he stopped thrusting I pulled my teeth from his neck. He looked at me confused and touched his neck.

"You marked me...."

"I.... I'm sorry..... I just..."

"I'm not mad, little love. Just shocked. Its rare, as you know. But everything about our bond is rare."

     I nodded and snuggled into his chest, sighing. I was no longer in pain. I kissed his chest and snuggled as close as I could. A knock sounded at the door and Remmy covered my body.

"Remmy..... Is everything.... Oh!!"

      Mel squeaked and Remmy laughed.

"Yes, sister, everything is perfect, she's fine now. What's wrong?"

"Um..... Her mother sent me to tell her she has a niece and a nephew. Her brothers mate gave birth to twins."

        I smiled up at Remmy, sleepily and yawned. He kissed my forehead softly.

"Congratulations my love."

"Hmmm. I'm,happy for her. Can I sleep?"

"Of course, little love. Rest. Good night, Mel."

"Night Remmy, Callie." 

       She whispered as she left, and exhaustion overtook me.

*************************************

     I woke with the sun beaming down on my skin, warning my body. I stretched and got off the bed, grabbing my robe I pulled it on and tied it tightly.

"Rem?!"

     I called, curious to where he went.

"Out on the balcony, love."

       I heard him and walked out, wrapping my arms around him, I rested my cheek on his back. I was content and in no pain. But he seemed tense.

"Remmy.... What's bothering you?"

"While you were asleep..... Someone was attacked, badly injured. Ian left a note."

"What.... What does he want?"

     He turned and wrapped his around me protectively, I could feel him trembling. I knew what Ian wanted. He wanted me back, to rip me from my mate and take me for himself. Whoever was mated to me would also possess my power.

"He wants you. But, he isn't going to get you. You're mine."

         I hid in his arms, trembling. I just wanted a moment of peace and it seemed like I wasnt going to ever have one. Mel ran over and Remmy passed me to her.

"Oh, Cal. I'm so sorry this is happening. It's hard. And.... I wish it wasn't. You deserve happiness."

      I hugged her back and sniffled. I pulled away and walked back to Remmy.

"Can... Can I see the person that was injured? Who was it?"

"Cal.... It.... Was John. He was on patrol... Love, you don't need to."

"Yes I do. Take me to him."

         I dressed quickly and Remmy looked at my worried. My mind was set on helping John. For Anna's sake, I knew she was probably going mad while her mate was in the hospital ward unconscious.  Remmy held my hand, keeping me by his side. We got to the hospital ward and Anna was there, sobbing over Johns unconscious body. I rushed over and pulled her into my arms. She cried harder.

"Don't worry Anna.... I'll do what I can."

      I passed her off to Mel, who held her close and tried to soothe her. Remmy watched me curiously as I knelt by John. I put my hand on his side, where he was wounded and closed my eyes. I let the magic flow to my fingers, focusing on healing John. I heard Mel's gasp as warm, white light spread from my palm to John's body. Suddenly he gasped and his eyes shot open. John jerked up right and Anna threw herself at him, sobbing.

"Little love, I'm fine."

       I stood up and my knees immediately buckled, Remmy caught me and sat me on a bed.

"Cal... You didn't have to, love."

"I needed to... Remmy.... I had..... She needs her mate."

       I whispered and relaxed into the bed. I felt my energy leave my body.

"You're such a gift."

     Mel whispered and I curled into Remmy.

"That took more energy than I thought.... I'm so tired...."

"Sleep then."

      Remmy whispered, picking me up to bring me back to our room. I snuggled into him and let the blackness take me under.
