After Ludwig left following Raven’s rejection of intimacy with him, her wolf returned to torment her even more.

’You got our mate upset. You can’t be a Luna with this attitude.’ A Luna had to be smart in both helping the Alpha take care of the pack and making him happy.

When it came to their mates, loyal Alphas were all the same, feeling intense attraction towards their mates and wanting to mark them immediately.

It was only those who had mistresses that would seek gratification elsewhere.

Raven was shocked to hear Twilight’s voice, knowing how she had kicked her out of her mind. ’I locked you out, so how is it that I am able to hear your voice again?’

’Don’t forget that you had your first shift today. You aren’t strong enough to lock me out for long. You don’t even know how to control me,’ her wolf Twilight barked in her mind.

Taming a Luna wolf was not as easy as that of ordinary wolves, so Raven was going to need some help.

She was already thinking about how to tame her wolf to do her bidding, but Twilight already read her mind and answered her.

’The only person who can help you is the one you sent away. He’s our mate, so why is it so hard for you to bear his mark and mate with him? Sex is sweet, you know?’

Raven could not believe she was having this conversation with her wolf. It felt so weird.

’I need time to adjust,’ Raven said again, feeling nervous. Every she-wolf was always eager to meet their wolves on their eighteenth birthday, but was this part of their excitement?

Raven never recalled thinking in this direction because she had been so busy planting herbs, supplying them to the hospitals, and preserving those that could be preserved.

’The earlier, the better. How do you expect him to explain to his pack members tomorrow when they see you without a mark on your neck?’

Twilight’s question caused Raven’s strong resolve to crack. Indeed, she could not make the pack think that there was something wrong between her and Ludwig when she just needed time.

Ludwig was an Alpha, having made so many sacrifices for her. The more Raven thought about it, the more she felt he did not deserve this.

If for nothing at all, it was her responsibility to make him happy, just as he made her ever since her arrival.

Everything he had done for the past eleven months was all because of her. ’It’s true. I messed up, but I can’t ask for help from Alpha Denzel. I’m too shy.’

If she were at the Evergreen Pack, she would have sought help from Alice, but now, Alice was too far away, and Raven knew she would be disturbing Alice’s sleep if she called her right now.

’You don’t need Alpha Denzel’s help to resolve this. I am here to help you,’ her wolf said seriously, taking charge of the situation.

’How interesting. So what do we do now?’ Raven asked, ready to do whatever it took to complete her mate before the break of dawn.

’Let’s shower and wait for him, naked,’ Twilight suggested. Raven’s face was as red as tomatoes. Her wolf was either going to make or unmake her, but after messing things up herself, she had no choice but to accept her wolf’s suggestion.

After her shower, she lay in bed naked as her wolf suggested but felt so embarrassed that she covered her whole body with the duvet.

’He’s still not back. What if he doesn’t return to sleep in this room?’ Raven asked her wolf, feeling anxious and guilty.

’Then we will have to go out there to look for him. It was all your fault,’ Twilight pointed out, not willing to give up on this special night.

Raven hoped it wouldn’t come to that. She prayed silently that somehow, Ludwig would come back and not sleep in a different room.

When she heard the sound of the door open, she was filled with both excitement and anxiety.

’He’s back, but what if he sees me as a deviant? I hope you are right, Twilight, or we shall lose the respect of our mate.’

Raven saw women who tried to seduce men as shameless, never thinking she was going to be one of them.

Nevertheless, those men were not those women’s mates. The thought partially relieved her from the guilt she was feeling before.

She soon heard the sound of the shower as her wolf responded. ’If he sees us as perverts, then he’s not deserving of us.’

If they were to seduce someone else, then that would be an offense, but with Ludwig being their mate, they had every right to seduce him.

Soon, the side of the bed dipped, and Raven’s nervousness increased when the duvet was lifted off her. She opened her eyes to meet Ludwig’s and lowered hers shyly.

"You came back," she said, pulling Ludwig out of his shock.

After what transpired between them earlier, he thought she was too shy, but seeing her naked sexy body, everything changed.

"Yes, I’m just surprised that you are naked when you need time." He pushed strands of hair on her face to the back of her ears. "Will you blame me for my inability to resist my mate?"

Ludwig leaned closer and cooed in her ears; she could feel his warm breath as she stared shyly at his naked muscular chest.

The only thing he wore was boxer shorts, so Alice equally felt seduced. However, she thought about apologizing for her childish behavior earlier.

"I...I wanted to apologize for earlier. I was just nervous."

Alpha Ludwig was both surprised and happy to hear these words from her. After thinking of all the ways to seduce his mate tonight, she turned out different from earlier.

"Are you saying that you aren’t nervous now?" He asked softly, and Raven swallowed tightly.

"I am, but I won’t be able to get over it until I bear your mark," she said boldly. Alpha Ludwig was stunned. Did he just win a lottery?

"Do you mean you are ready to bear my mark?" He asked seriously, his heart pounding in his chest for her not to refuse.
