" This isn't the first time that girl has taken a hit. Her whole torso and the upper part of her legs are covered in bruises that have almost healed. Where ever she was before, she wasn't being treated right." I felt like someone had pulled the rug out from under me. My world seemed to tilt at a strange angle. Tessa. Small, angel looking, probably couldn't swat a fly if she tried Tessa, had been abused. No wonder no one knew her story, she was probably trying her hardest to hide it. Anger swelled in my chest at the thought of someone laying their hands on Tessa. Everything in me screamed to find the low life trash that would do such a thing and end them. "Alpha Xzavier, you must calm down. I don't think anger will help Tessa any now." Of course she was right. As I forced some deep breathes she continued. "If I may be so bold, it seems you two have formed a connection. I can't be for sure yet but I believe you may have found your fated mate with her. You won't know for sure until you are intimate with each other. This has become such a rare occurrence that I can't be sure until I know more. " Fated mate? In my twenty-three years of life, I was yet to hear of a fated mate couple, let alone an Alpha finding their fated mate. I had come to think of the stories more like legends than actual history. If my feelings for her didn't run so deep I would have thought the doctor crazy.
