Her Broken Mate 37

"I see... So that's what happened."

Seth nodded, a sad smile playing around his lips. "I thought I'd lost you. If you'd died, I don't know what I'd have done. When your mate dies, you usually go mad. Your wolf goes insane with grief and will make you suicidal," he whimpered.

Sarah's heart clenched; she hated to see her mate suffer. She kissed him on the cheek and tried to apologize for what she'd done to him.

They'd just woken up and washed up. Now they were sitting on his hospital bed waiting for the doctor's examination.

Seth told her all she'd missed in the six months she'd been gone. She'd no idea that Thunder had been holding in her heat during her coma. That explained why she sounded like she was in pain.

It turns out that Thunder had been holding back her heat for so long that it's practically over. She'll have to wait another six months for the next one. But if she and Seth ever mated, that would be the only way she'd get pregnant and have his puppies. In rare cases, however, a bitch can get pregnant when she's not in heat.

Sarah blushed at the thought, but shook it off. They haven't even marked each other yet, so they need to take it slow, right?

"What about Martha? Anything on her?" she asked, suspicious of her existence.

Seth shook his head. "While you were in the coma, she didn't move. I plan to talk to Ryan and Emily about her once you're sufficiently rested."

She tilted her head. "But I've rested enough?"

"You're not to me. I've almost lost you. I can't bear the thought of losing you again.
Just the thought of it... Drives me crazy," he whispered, leaning his head against his shoulder.

Frowning, she continued to protest. "We just woke up after sleeping together, Seth. I'm not as weak as you think."

Seth stared at her before saying, "I never said you were weak, Sarah. Not only are you strong, you're brave. Beautiful and intelligent. You're everything I want and more. But rest doesn't just mean sleep. It means taking it easy. Relaxing. Doing things that take your mind off things. But, uh... If you insist, I've no control over you. You can do whatever you want."

Stunned by his words, Sarah quickly retracted her words.

She can't believe he just said that, but he's right... she just woke up from a six-month coma.

It only took flattery to break you, hmm?" teased Thunder.

'Oh, shut up. At least he cares about my welfare,' Sarah retorted.

'Alright, I'll rest up for today. But as soon as
I can, I want to prepare for the impossible. We must expect the unexpected. Even if it's a fight with her. Does that sound good?" she said with a smile, stroking his back.

Seth smiled in return. "Sounds like a deal to me."

She leaned against Seth's chest, pressing her face into his shirt, and let out a sigh of contentment. He brushed her hair aside and inhaled her scent. She knew it was his way of soothing his inner animal, so she let him do what he wanted. Seth had been waiting for the right time to mark her, and that was very nice of him.

However, it was fine with her if he wanted to do other things while they waited. She was embarrassed at the thought of it, but if it was Seth, it was okay.

Seth continued to snuggle up to her and kiss the top of her head. Slowly he began to kiss his way down. First on her forehead, then on her cheek. Then his kisses followed slowly until he reached her neck. At the spot where he'd mark her, he paused before sucking gently on the skin. A small moan escaped her, causing Seth to stop.

He let out a small growl, and his eyes flashed black in his beautiful blue eyes.

Sarah swallowed hard, knowing that if they continued, there would be no turning back. The bed moved as Seth's weight tilted the bed slightly. He hovered over her as he continued to struggle with his wolf. They were in their own little world when, without warning, the door opened with a bang.

"Sarah!!! You're awake!" shouted Emily, slamming the door open with a hurrying Ryan.

Emily let out a surprised scream, alerting Seth. He immediately prepared himself for any danger, extending his claws and baring his fangs. This startled Emily, who came to Sarah.

Seth had almost immediately jumped down from Sarah, ready to protect her.

Sarah stroked his bare arm and was on the spot. The sparks ignited, the tape drumming softly. That calmed him, his claws and fangs retreating. Ryan stood in front of Emily, defending her from his alpha.

No matter their rank, mates would defend each other, even if it was against their alpha.

When Ryan noticed that Seth had calmed down, he stepped back as well. He bowed his head and apologized for his rash actions. Seth apologized too, it was quite amusing.

Emily, who'd been hiding behind Ryan, peeked out before lunging at Sarah. She hugged her tightly, surprising Sarah. When she recovered from her shock, Sarah returned the hug. Emily had tears in her eyes and was glad that Sarah had woken up. Ryan seemed glad, too, and lit up behind Emily.

She soon let go of Sarah and a heavy smile spread across her face. "Ohhh, you two almost had a good time, huh? That's kind of scandalous. I mean ... this is the hospital."

Ryan nodded, "I wasn't going to say anything, but Emily beat me to it."

Sarah stood with her mouth open. Her face flushed, embarrassment flooding her entire being. "I-"

Before Sarah could say anything back, Seth stood beside her and took her hand in his. "And what if we were going to do that? You interrupted us. There's no shame in having a little fun," he said, frowning.

'Oh dear...' said Thunder, purring.

Emily immediately coughed, surprised.

"Wow, uh...okay. I wasn't expecting that." Ryan nodded quickly, agreeing with him. He'd known Seth for years and had no idea he was like this.

Sarah's mate was full of surprises, because Sarah didn't even know he'd it in him.

Did I really miss that much while I was in a coma? Sarah thought confusedly and blinked.

To change the subject, Sarah quickly asked what they needed, since they seemed like they wanted to tell her and Seth something.

Emily blushed, "Um...there's a possibility that I'm pregnant."

They quickly congratulated her, Ryan was very excited. Before Sarah could say anything else, Ryan quickly lifted her up and waved at them, to which Emily protested since she hadn't finished speaking.

Seth and Sarah just stared ahead, not surprised that Ryan wanted a private party for himself. The door soon closed as Sarah's mate walked over to lock it this time.

Sarah looked out the window, thinking. Seth appeared behind her and hugged her. It surprised her, but she let herself go for him.

This went on for a while until he did something she never expected. He whispered softly in her ear and spoke,
"It seems like I'm always keeping the cock from our intimate moments."

She turned in a flash to stare at a black-eyed Seth. Her eyes twitched in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

'It's Virus, his wolf. He's in control,' Thunder said, sounding excited.

She rolled her eyes and stared at him before asking, "Give Seth back control, please."

He just shook his head, "Not until I tell you something to remember," he said, and the dominance he exuded went so far that his knees shook with excitement.

He took a step closer until both his hands were at the window behind her and he trapped her between his arms.

She swallowed, a tiny bit nervous. He knew the effect he was having on her, and he loved it.

With a heavy smile, he spoke softly, "When the battle is over and we've won, I'll ravish you, my darling. Remember this. I've waited too long already. Seth has waited too, even if he pretends to be very innocent. After all, we're one man. We want to claim what's ours," he said, stroking her cheek.

'Wait, a battle?' she mused under her breath. 'Right. We'd end up getting into one with Martha.'

God, being alone with him sometimes made her forget everything. She don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

And with those last words, he leaned down and kissed the spot where his mark would be. Sarah trembled, she was very sensitive on that part of her neck.

He chuckled at her reaction before his eyes turned back to the beautiful blue she loved so much.

Seth, seeing her position, sheepishly retreated a few feet from her. He stammered out several apologies, saying he couldn't hold Virus back.

She still froze in shock and blushed at what just happened.

Thunder growled playfully, 'I can't wait until this fight is over. I mean, who'd have thought that Seth or Virus could be so brazen?'

She glared at Seth before he turned his attention away from her. A slight blush crossed his cheeks as he tried to hide it from her.

This made her giggle as she stalked over to him. She kissed him on the cheek before saying, "Make sure I'm not disappointed, after all, you're an alpha, aren't you?" she demanded.

Seth recovered from his embarrassment and grinned at her challenge, which he accepted.

Realizing what she'd just said, she swallowed nervously.

Not knowing what was coming.
