Leo had noticed that things between him and Nia hadn't been the same since the whole chimera incident. She had gotten distant with him and would only speak with him if it was absolutely necessary. He kept thinking back on what he did wrong only to come up empty handed.

"Sky what are you doing?" He heard Nia ask from the kitchen he peered through the doorway and saw Nia leaning against the counter while Skyler fixed what looked like to be sandwiches.

"Making l-lunch, it's g-going to b-be a long d-drive and—" she stuttered out.

"Nia?" He called out cutting Skyler off. Both girls turned to look at him and he swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat "Can we talk?" He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Ok?" She raised an eyebrow at him but didn't move.

"Alone?" He sighed and motioned her to follow him so Skyler could finish making the snacks.

"Fine" she muttered and followed him, keeping a good distance away from him.

Skyler watched them go a second slightly confused before continuing in making sandwiches for everyone and packing juice boxes in a large cooler.

"Hey Sky, what you doing?" April said peeking into the door way.

"M-making lunch f-for everyone" she replied shyly.

"That's a great idea! It's gonna be a long drive, any way I can help?" April offered kindly.

"Sure" Skyler nodded with a smile "C-can you p-put them in s-sandwich bags w-while I go f-finish packing?"

"Alright"

Skyler left April to finish the rest and began heading upstairs to finish packing her things which shouldn't take her long considering she didn't have a lot since they came here. Half way down the hall she froze. There stood Raphael in her way. Her body shook. Just being near him made their bond become more…lively. He tilted his head to the side questionably his eyes focusing intently on hers.

She shook her head taking a step back as he took a step towards her. She had to get away or at least get back down stairs with April at least with someone there nothing would happen. The memory of Nia pulling her aside a second time away from everyone to lecture her again about her and Raphael not being alone buzzed through her head.

It was the third time she had caught them in a heated kiss.

"Sky" Nia sighed pinching the bridge of her nose "Remember what we agreed on, you can't be alone with him, he'll want nothing more than to claim you"

"M-maybe I-I want t-to be claimed" Skyler said slightly annoyed and under her breath. Nia's eyes widen at the statement and Skyler's widen in horror. She wasn't supposed to hear that or for that matter had said it out loud but the words spilled out before she realized she had even said them.

She blushed madly and looked down "S-s-s-sorry…b-but it's h-hard" she whimpered placing a hand over her chest.

"It's fine just try a little harder, just until we get back into the city" Nia's eyes soften.

"Skyler" his voice was husky, making her swallow nervously as he backed her into the end of the hallway wall. Her skin began heating up as she avoid to look him in the eyes.

"Raphael…" she trailed off trying to find her words, but his presence was making it had for her to concentrate. His body firmly pressed up against hers, his strong scent flooding her senses and his voice sending delightful shivers down her spine.

"Skyler" he muttered "Please look at me" he said softly grasping her face in his hands. She shook her head again and closed her eyes tight "…Please" he said again placing a soft kiss on her forehead. She opened her eyes and looked straight into his melting under his gaze. It was tender, heated and primal and it sent fire coursing through her veins, before she knew it her lips were upon his.

He wasted no time in responding his hands left her face as they trailed down her sides before the found her hips and he gripped them tightly, pulling her closer to him. A muffled moan escaped her and he growled softly burying his face into her neck. Nuzzling her neck before switching to her other side and doing the same anything to get his scent on her and get her scent on himself.

He moaned low. God did she smell good.

He froze as he heard the staircase creek. Someone was coming up. He groaned in annoyance. He wasn't done with her. He pulled away from her staring down at her flush and dazed form. His eyes darken. He was definitely not done with her. He quickly pulled her into the bathroom that was inches away from them and quickly closed the door, locking it behind him. Her arms wrapped themselves around his neck pulling him closer to her. His hand tangled itself in her hair, he hissed as his felt himself begin to harden making it uncomfortable behind his plastron.

She bit her lip as he nipped at her neck "…Raphael, p-please" she mewled as her hands trailed down his neck, over his shoulders, resting her hands on his biceps.

"…Yeah" he panted against her shoulder. He kicked the toilet lid down and he sat down on it pulling her with him. Skyler gasped as she now straddled is lap. Raphael churred loudly as her heat pressed firmly against his hidden member. He gripped her hips harder and thrusted against her hips.

"Ah!" she arched towards him.

"Beautiful" he murmured churring deeply in his chest as he pressed her closer to him and connected their lips once more "And you're all mine" he growled kissing her softly. She blushed at his words and pulled away from him panting and resting her forehead against his.

"Y-you really m-mean t-that" she whispered softly caressing his neck and cheeks.

"Yes" he sighed closing his eyes in bliss as she touched him. His thumb lightly traced circles over his mark. He gasped when she rolled her hips against his.

"S-sorry, y-your mark is s-sensitive" she whimpered as he continued to trace his thumb over it, sending her hips to jerk again.

"Is that so?" he churred and latched his mouth onto her throat and never stopped touching her.

"…P-please…we c-can't…" She panted her body doing the exact opposite of she was saying. Her body was burning up and it hurt. She needed release. She need him…but she wanted to follow traditions.

"We won't" he assured her and he meant it. He would respect her wishes. If her people waited until they were of age because it was tradition then he had no problem with that, but he knew it was hurting her and he wanted to ease her pain "Do you trust me?"

"Yes" she sighed kissing him fervently.

They had been walking a good ten minutes into the forest in silence, until she finally had enough.

"Leo, I thought you wanted to talk not take a walk" she said annoyed.

He stopped walking and turned around sheepily "Right…"

"Well?" she crossed her arms.

He didn't know where to start, so instead he said what has been bothering him.

"Why have you been avoiding me?"

"I'm not avoiding you"

"Yes—"

"I'm mad at you" she quickly cut him off.

"But why? I don't understand, what did I do—"

His eyes narrowed in turn. So this was what happen back at the mountain when he told her he wouldn't let her fight.

"Look I was just trying to protect you" he stated calmly trying to keep his cool.

"I don't need you protecting me! I'm not some defenseless idiot" She finally shouted.

"I never said you were! But there is nothing wrong with letting someone else protect you!" He yelled back taking a step towards her.

"I don't need anyone to protect me!" She snapped back and turned away heading back to the farm house. Leo moved quickly and grabbed her long sleeve.

"Leonardo let go!" She hissed as she pulled at her sleeve.

"No" he said stubbornly.

"I said let go!" She tugged harshly. The sound of fabric ripping caught both their attentions. Nia stared in horror as her sleeve ripped off and laid in Leo's clenched hand.

His eyes stared at her arm taking in all the scars. He quickly grabbed her wrist with his free hand and pulled her closer to him. She tried to push him away but he held her firmly as he looked her arm over.

"Who did this to you?" he growled his fingers tracing softly over the scars.

"Let go!" She pleaded desperately trying to get away from him. His eyes narrowed and he looked to her other sleeve. Her eyes widen and she struggled even more. He quickly ripped the other sleeve off and saw that her other arm was also covered in scars.

"Who. Did. This. To. You" he repeated and she glared at him.

He roared when she refused to answer him and he tugged her towards him. He bit down at the base of her neck hard. She was his! His to protect!

Nia gasped at the sensation and gripped his shoulders to keep her steady as pleasure coursed through her. She closed her eyes and tilting her head slightly to give him more room. He churred deeply as kept her in place. He let go and licked up any blood and then nuzzled her.

Her eyes snapped open and she pushed him away clapping a hand over the mark he left her.

"Y-you marked me!" She sputtered out in shocked and then it turned into anger "You marked me!" She glared at him.

"My mate! Mine to protect!" He huffed at her and went to grab her again.

"Stop! Just stop!" She shook her head and smacked his hand away quickly running back to the farm house and away from him. Leo tilted his head confused. What had he done wrong now?

Catharine bolted straight up from the hay stack she was lying in and reading a book as Donatello worked on carefully putting away his make shift lab. He looked up at her questionably.

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

"Something's not right" her face scrunched up. She looked down at her links and noticed Skyler's and Raphael's bond was becoming livelier and the same thing was happening with Leo's and Nia's link.

"Catharine?"

Her eyes widen and she cursed "Go check on Raph and Sky!"

"Oh no! Raph!" Donatello growled and sprinted towards the farm house while Catharine followed Nia's link she paused when it turned thicker and meshed more with Leo's and it became one.

She was about to run into the forest to look for her when she saw Nia running and getting closer to her.

"Nia!" She shouted. Nia gave her a glance and shook her head and continued on to the farm house. She needed time alone.

"Raph! Open the door now!" Donnie shouted as he banged on the bathroom door. Casey, April, Mikey and Kayla ran up the stairs to see what all the commotion was about.

"What's going on?" Casey asked.

"Raph's in there with Skyler! You guys were suppose to keep watch over them!" He glared Casey and Mikey since it was their turn to watch them.

"Sorry! We got a little caught up on a video game"

"Casey!" April glared.

"Mikey!" Kayla narrowed her eyes.

Donnie rolled his eyes and took a step back before putting all his weight on the door forcing it open. He looked around and saw it was empty. He covered his nose. They were definitely here he could smell both Skyler's and his brother's aroused scents. Mikey buried his nose in the crook of Kayla's neck trying to block the smell with hers.

"Where'd they go?" Casey asked.

He stared at the open window and he peeked through it he sighed in relief when he saw both of them laying on the roof and just resting. Skyler was draped across Raph's plastron while he churred contently.
