It shouldn't take this long, should it? But then again, what the hell did he know, he wasn't a witch and neither a warlock.

The Alpha paced up and down, worried out of his mind about the twins, his Luna especially. What if something had gone wrong?

He paused in step and let out a heavy sigh. He shouldn't be thinking about the worst case scenario. They were fine, she was fine.

The sound of footsteps approaching caught his attention, making him look up just in time to see the twins and Derek return. He quickly moved over, meeting them halfway as his eyes fell onto Leah.

"Well?" He asked slowly.

"It went well. I think.." The witch replied as she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend, pulling him into a hug. "I just don't feel too hot.."

This made Raphael frown as he looked down at her in worry. Was accepting their magic supposed to do this? Then again, when he glanced at TJ, the young warlock seemed okay.

But why Leah?..

"Can we go home?" She asked softly, immediately getting a nod of approval from her boyfriend.

She turned towards her twin and her father with a soft smile. "I'll see you guys later.." She said and left with Raphael, entering his house.

Over the next hour, Raphael began to notice how Leah's skin had paled and how she had weakened

Over the next hour, Raphael began to notice how Leah's skin had paled and how she had weakened. He watched her as she lied back in bed with a deep frown on his face.

"Babe, you are not fine." He said with worry.

"I will be.." Leah replied. "It's probably the human side taking a strain and learning to adjust.."

Raphael didn't buy that for a second. TJ was also half human and he wasn't affected like she was.

Leah noticed the look on her boyfriend's face and let out a soft breath. "Hey.." He called to him gently. "I will be fine. Look at the beautiful man taking care of me."

The werewolf cracked a small smile at her words and leaned down, pressing a kiss against her forehead, the witch closing her eyes with a soft smile as she hummed softly.

"Do you need anything else?" He asked.

"Not really." She replied. "Perhaps you?" She asked with a weak grin.

Raphael chuckled slightly with a shake of his head. "Get some rest, amore mio. I will be right here." He said.

"Please?" She asked with a pout, giving him her famous puppy dog eyes.

He stared at her. Leah truly knew how to get her way with him and it was with that face that she was giving him.

"You know I can't resist that face." He said.

"So, put your sweatpants on and get your cute butt into bed with me." She said. "It's what I need." She added, the pout staying present.

With that, Raphael had no choice but to do what she requested. He quickly changed out of his clothes and into a pair of light grey sweatpants before he climbed into bed only to feel that Leah's body temperature.

He frowned, concerned. "You're cold.." He said and pulled her into his arms into attempt to use his body heat to warm her up.

She cuddled up closer and buried her face into his chest as she hummed softly. He looked down at her as he ran his hand along her lower back gently. "Getting warm?" He asked.

"Yes.." She breathed. "Thank you."

Raphael placed a gentle kiss atop her head and lied his head back as he held her close in his arms. "Rest, baby." He whispered gently.

" He whispered gently
