Chapter 24: Surprised by my mate

For a minute I felt no pain. It was, as if what had happened tonight never did occur. My dark eyes gaze upon her bare beauty, surprised she did not run off leaving me. Instead, she stayed. But why? I thought. Occur It was a foolish thought to think of after I wanted her to stay so badly, but still, I wanted to know why she decides to return to me. Did she feel the great spark between us, or she just felt pity for me? That the deadly alpha was injured all alone and needed someone to take care of him, I thought. And that was not the attention I wanted from her now. I wanted my young beautiful mate to give me the attention a she-wolf would only to her mate.

Her blue eyes met mine shyly as she approached me slowly; hiding her bare voluptuous body that could make any man harden just by taking one look.

“You are very foolish,” I said to her.

I did not want her to see how happy I was to see her; and how my wolf inside me was elated that our mate was here.

“Why did you choose to save me?” my young mate question me as she came to the side of my bed.

Her voice was so sweet, soft, smooth, and relaxing that it made me forget I was even in pain. The sound of her voice was as if, it was a pain killer; getting rid of all my pain I was in. I stood still surprised by her question and watches her as she now stands at the side of my king-size bed. I did not know what to say. I was so happy that she spoke to me and not out of rage and anger I was speechless. All I could do at that very moment was to gaze at her. My young mate used her long white hair that went all the way down to my bedroom floor, hiding her curvy bare body. Waiting for an answer.

A dark cloud of sadness suddenly hit me, now knowing the reason why she had returned.

Her blue eyes examine the deep, bloody marks against my back worried, and returned them to my dark eyes for my answer to her question. I did not want to give her the reason why. I did not want to tell her she was my one true mate and frightens her. I wanted her to discover it on her own during the full moon which was coming soon. Her ocean eyes continued to stare into mine desperately wanting to know why.

“You should be happy young she-wolf and leave,” I finally answered her.

I despise the way I was treating my beautiful mate; in pushing her away. But seeing the only reason why she had return was just because she knew what I did for her. I was not happy. It made me think if I had found some other way in allowing Alexander to cancel the punishment so no one would be hurt. If she would leave seeing I was fine.

My young mate stood still not wanting to leave. I could feel that she was not happy with my response. For it was not the answer she seeks. Her eyes moved away from mine and again onto my back now examining every mark of the whip created on my back.

“You're still here?” I question her harshly.

The pain I felt speaking to her so ill and kept on pushing her away was unbearable. It was much more painful than the pain I was feeling now. I hated what I was doing, but I wanted to see if she would leave me if I kept on forcing her away; no longer caring what I did for her.

My heartbeat heavily within my chest, seeing my mate moved away from me. She had finally become tired of my bad manner and was leaving. At that moment I felt like my entire world was over as I watched her moved away from me slowly.

My eyes widen suddenly seeing her heading towards my draw, slowly taking out a rag and into my bathroom returning with my rag that was now soaked. I was surprised my young mate did not leave. I again was happy she wanted to stay with me, but for how long? Which started to worry me. My mate came close to me even closer that the side of her sexy bare legs brushes against my body. I felt a warm feeling rushing all over my body comforted by her soft touch.

“You're weak and very foolish,” I again said stupidly to her.

I smiled not allowing her to see and watched her as she slowly moved her hand with the wet rag and gently started to wipe away the blood from my back. At that moment I could hear my wolf howling inside me as my body burst with an explosion of wonderful feeling.

Suddenly I found myself reaching out for her hand that touches me wanting to touch her. Her hand was so small and slender within my large hand. My entire hand conceals it. Her blue eyes stare within my dark eyes surprised by my touch. She slowly lowers her head now staring at her hand within mine. Gently I removed the rag that was now covered in my blood from her hand, allowing it to fall against the floor. I did not want her hand against my back, but to feel her hand against my face. Gently I moved her hand to my face and to my mouth; allowing her hand to press against my lips. My Lips shiver at the touch of her hand and my wolf within me felt comforted by our mate's scent. Her scent was the perfect scent for us and the only, for she was our one true mate.

I wanted to tell her I love her and begged her to stay, but instead, I lied to her not wanting her to find out during the full moon that all along I knew she was my mate. I did not want her to think that was the only reason why I save her and that was because I discovered she was my mate. It was not so. All along searching for my first love Paisley after she had run off leaving me. I was so angry that she left without saying anything and gave up on our love, that I have developed a feeling of anger towards women, and so I brought it on to my mate foolishly.

“I don't know why, young she-wolf, why I had to save you?” I lied to her. I knew exactly why I did so, but it was better that way.

My mate slowly moved her eyes, enjoying the touch of my lips against her hand. Suddenly she did the most unexpected thing that made me startled. My beautiful mate sat beside me not caring her long white hair was no longer hiding her large firm breast or her front. She sat beside me, her secret mate, gazing into my eyes, not wanting to leave my side.
