Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans

Chapter 1

It was a normal day in Jump City, and the Teen Titans had returned to the tower after taking care of some bank robbers. Just like every other mission Cyborg insisted on ordering pizza to celebrate.

The group were in the kitchen eating their pizza: Garlic prawn, meat lovers and vegetarian for Beast Boy.

"Man I'm stuffed" Cyborg said while rubbing his metal stomach. "Who wants the last slice?"

"One of you guys have it, I'm going to meditate on the roof" Raven answered in her usual monotone voice as she pulled up her hood and walked out of the room.

Beast Boy stared at Raven for a few moments before looking back at the others. "Starfire or Robin can have the last slice. I'm gonna play some Mega Monkeys".

Cyborg ran over to the couch excitedly shouting "I bet I can beat your high score Grass Stain!"

"No way dude, no one beats the Beast!"

3 Hours Later 10:00pm

"Haha! Told you I'd beat you BB" Cyborg announced proudly.

"Dude, that's not fair. You totally cheated on that the last round".

"Whatever man, I think I'm going to go to sleep now. See you tomorrow Beastie".

Cyborg left the main room leaving Beast Boy to turn off the Game Station. He wasn't tired yet so he decided to pay Raven a visit on the roof. The two had grown a lot closer in the last few months. Starfire and Robin were dating now after the events in Tokyo and Cyborg was almost always working on the T-Car. He was certain that the empath would enjoy his company.

Beast Boy was walking down the hall towards the roof looking at the name tags on each door until he crashed into someone. Suddenly he fell forward; against his will he instinctively bit down on the person's neck. Quickly realising what had just happened Beast Boy released his grip on the person's neck and stood up looking at who he had just bitten.

Raven was sitting on the floor with her hand against the bite mark on the right side of her neck. She pulled her hand away looking at the small amount of blood stained on her hand; then facing up towards Beast Boy with a look of fear.

Beast Boy could only look Raven in the eye for a split second before bursting out of the hall in a panic leaving Raven on the floor by herself.

Beast Boy sat crouching on the rocks near the ocean just outside the tower.

Just like Terra had taught him he threw a small rock watching it skid across the water.

"Beast Boy, I wanted to talk to you". Beast Boy's head turned suddenly hearing the half demon's voice; he could see where he had bitten her, dry blood starting to form around the mark. Raven sat down next to Beast Boy, her eyes filled with concern for the changeling. "About what happened earlier, I forgive you. I'm sure it was an accident. You just gave me a fright".

Beast Boy couldn't even bring himself to look at Raven. He had hurt her; he had hurt the girl he had a not so secret crush on. Possibly even loved. "Rae, if I tell you something do you promise you won't hate me?"

A small smile formed across Raven's face, quickly turning to a look of concern. She could see the fear in his eyes; she could sense his emotions. Why was he so scared? "You can tell me anything, I could never hate you".

The changeling managed to look at Raven "When I bumped into you I lost control of my body. I'm positive the Beast purposely bit you. I'm positive he…. Beast Boy paused.

"He what? Garfield? Raven started to sound nervous.

"He marked you" Beast Boy said in almost a whisper while turning his gaze back to the ocean. "The beast has claimed you as his mate".

Raven stared a Beast Boy for a moment, trying to find something to say "But I thought Cyborg gave you an antidote to help you keep the Beast under control".

"He did give me an antidote, but it doesn't work. And it's starting to get serious, he has already taken control once before: Three weeks ago in my room. Luckily I managed to regain control before he could hurt anyone, before he could hurt you.

Looking at her friend in sorrow Raven leaned closer to Beast Boy holding his hand tightly "I'm sure we can help you control him".

Beast Boy was surprised that Raven didn't ask why the Beast wanted her "You don't understand Raven! He's spoken to me, he's said terrible things. He mentioned that he would mark you as his mate; you would obey him. He said he would…"

Beast Boy was cut off when he felt Raven lean into him wrapping her arms around his body. The empath rested her head against his chest while whispering "I promise that I will do everything that I can to help you Gar". They both laid in each other's embrace until they decided to go inside for the night.
