Chapter 24
Walking in I see she is sipping on the broth staring at the nurse. Her eyes soon find mine. A small smile pulls at her lips. Looking at the nurse “Judy can you give us a minute please?” looking back at Allie. I can see the panic in her eyes. Soon as she walks out. “please be calm little one nothing bad I promise just a few things the doctor told me that I wanted to talk to you about.” she nods as I take a seat In the chair by her bed.
It takes me a minute to gather my thoughts. “you know what mates are?” she nods. “you know that we are mates?” again she nods now looking down at her lap. “okay so you need a lot to heal. And I could help speed that up but only if you want I will not force you to accept me okay?” she just stares at me. Tilting her head so I forge ahead. “so Dr. Knight told me if I was to mark you. Then your wolf could pull on my strength to heal faster. And it would work better if you marked me back and then even better to complete the bonding.” her eyes get huge “but we don’t have to complete the bonding if you don’t want to ever. This is all up to you sweetie.”
Staring at me a while longer before she begins talking “I would rather die than have to more pain. I no longer want to be someone one's slave so if it's okay with you could you just put me out of my misery?” she rushes out my heartbreaking at every word. My soul tore at the thought of losing her. “I will never hurt you. You are no slave to anyone nor will you be again. You are a Luna. My Luna. I can't live without you. Please don’t leave me. Even if you never want to mark and mate with me just don’t leave me.” I can keep the begging out of my voice. In such a short time she has become my reason for living. The thought of losing her is breaking me. During my rant, I sank to my knees on the floor. My head hung low. Submitting all of me to her. I can feel the tears streaming down my cheeks. Her hands cupping my cheeks made me jump at her sudden touch. The tingles comforted me. She pulls my head to her chest hugging me to him. “why?” she asks me. I can't lie to her so I tell her the truth. About the rogue fight that took my first mate before I even met her. The kidnapping of my sisters and the death of my parents. And how if I lost her I would have nothing. No hope it's rare to get a second chance and there is no third.
The whole, while I am spilling it all out to her shes, is hugging me tighter to her. Letting me fall apart in her arms. Crying for things I had yet to let myself feel. What kind of alpha am I. so broken that I am begging my abused mate for a reason to go on when it should be the other way. From what the doctor didn’t say my mate had had it horribly. “shhh it's okay alpha William. Nothing is so broken it can't be fixed.” his small voice sent calming feelings through me. Rising my head to look at her “I could tell you the same thing little one.” this cause her to giggle sending a shiver down my back at that sound. “I want to hear that again.” raising her eyebrow at me “what?” she asks “your giggle it's my new favorite sound.” I am then rewarded with more giggles. Taking her in my arms she settles on my lap. “what happens if you tire of me and look for another I don’t think I could handle the pain I know comes from that?” she asks looking at my chest. Sliding my fingers under her chin lifted her eyes to look me in the eye. “I would never tire of you not could I. I would never betray the bond. I have waited my whole life for my mate. When I lost her I sought a reason to go on. The elders said there was a chance of a second chance mate. So I made sure that if I did find you I was pure for you. All my first go to my mate. That’s you. Even if you chose to never mark and mate I will never betray you.” making sure she can see the truth behind my words.
Tears spill from her eyes. Wiping them away with my thumb. “what is it little one?” she shakes her head not wanting to tell me. “there is nothing you can say that would make me change my mind. I understand you didn’t have the best of beginnings but I promise to make the rest of your life better.” I start to panic as she starts crying more. My shirt is soaked in her tears. I just hold her letting her cry. There is a knock on the door. “who is it?” “William it's Derick can I come in?” looking down at her she pulls in closer but nods. “yes please come in.” standing taking her with me I sit in the chair grabbing the blanket wrapping it around her.
“The DNA results came back. And I thought I would tell you first before I call alpha winter’s,” he says while holding some papers. His face is a combination of white and red. It's like he can't decide how to feel about what he just read.
“Hello dear, I am Derick winters alpha of the rising sun pack. Cousin to the alpha of alpha and hopefully a friend to alpha William.” he smiles at her. Now I am confused as to why he is introducing himself in such a matter. When he smiles at me I can see love in his eyes directed at my mate growling pulling her closer to me “MINE” which only causes him to laugh.
