My Alpha Mate

Chapter 7: Breathe

Nathan’s POV

“Nathan. Nathan! Can you hear me? Nathan!”

Blanes voice was faint but I was struggling to answer him.

“I-I can’t breathe” I mumbled feeling my aunts hands on my face. “It’s okay sweetheart we’ll find her come on” she soothed making my racing heart slow down a bit. “Who? Who took her?” I demanded looking at her mother who looked extremely confused.

“Uh I don’t know but I can’t find her. I found her phone in her room someone told her to meet her in the woods” she rushed making my head shake. I had told her that earlier but I don’t even have her number.

“Think ma’am who could it have been?” Blane asked making a horrified expression cross her face. “No. No he wasn’t supposed to find her here we were safe. We were told we’d be safe!” She cried making my heart race again.

“Who? Who is it Margret?” My aunt asked making her head snap over to her. “Devin. Devin Morton. He uh stalked her after they broke up. He got abusive and possessive when they found out they weren’t mates. I can’t believe he found us. You have to help me he’ll kill her” she cried making me fully snap back into reality.

“Warriors and Border Patrol meet at the Pack house Alpha Nathan’s mate has been taken”

Blanes voice broke into my head and Margret gasped. “She was your-“ she didn’t finished before her eyes rolled back and she fainted. “Take her to the infirmary, Blane and I’ll will address the pack” I ordered to my aunt moving quickly into the meeting hall.

The pack was already there when Blane and I walked in all worried, a natural response for wolves hearing their Luna is in trouble. “Our new member Skylar Pierce is my mate and has been taken by a dangerous rogue wolf, I want her location by tomorrow” I demanded walking up to Logan the leader of my border patrol.

“You tell me how a rogue snuck onto my land and took my mate” I demanded shoving him hard against the wall pushing back Rider from taking full control. If it was up to him he’d be dead already.

“I-I everyone was called to help when we heard of your rouge attack. The border was open he-he must have snuck in then, Alpha” he rushed out but Rider wasn’t satisfied. “And how was he not detected in between the time he snuck on and the time she was taken? There was an HOUR BEFORE HE GOT HER!” I yelled making his head drop.

“Nathan I have information” my aunt called from the doorway making my anger slightly subside. “What?” I asked not moving my glare from Logan. “It’s about Skylar's mother” she continued indicating she wanted me to talk to her in private.

“Find her” I growled pushing off him and meeting her in the hallway. “What” I snapped making her hands move to her hips. “You’re upset I understand and I’m so sorry Nathan but you’re no help to her this wound up. Her mother just fainted to many things happening is what Dr. Smith said. Go to her house try and follow her scent. We’ll find her Nathan” she assured making me nod slowly.

“I know. I have to go. Keep an eye on her mom for me?” I asked receiving a nod before heading to her house. I’m coming Sky.

Skylar’s POV

My eyes slowly blinked open as I groaned, my head is throbbing. I looked slowly around the room, it was mostly dark except for a single light right above me. My arms and legs were bound to a chair with chains to strong for me to break through. “Did you like my flowers?” Devins voice came from behind me making me freeze.

“You’re not wearing the necklace I got you, did you not like it?” He asked my breathing picking up. “I-I thought they were from Nathan” I answered panic setting in knowing that he’s been watching me for the past week.

“No they weren’t from him. That asshole doesn’t care about you, not like me” he whispered moving into my gaze. At one point I thought he was handsome, but now all I can see is the anger that consumes him. “What do you want from me” I asked trying to keep my voice strong.

He hurt me, broke me, and I was almost finished gluing myself back together and here he is again. “What I always wanted princess, you” he answered his face almost looked loving but it was only time before he became unhinged.

“How’d you find me?” I questioned making him shrug. “I never lost you. Followed you from the second you left Seattle, stayed in one of the spare bedrooms downstairs, hope you don’t mind” he answered making my blood ran cold. He’s been in my house this whole time.

“I-I would’ve sensed you-“ I started pausing as his head shook. “Mint” he answered pulling out a necklace with a small object hanging from it. Mint was used to mask scent the technique going back ages.

“Let me go Devin. I found my mate and yours is out there somewhere, please Dev let me go” I asked trying to keep him calm knowing one wrong word would set him off.

“But you don’t want him. I heard you say it. You don’t want him because you still want me” he concluded making my head shake. “No Devin I just need some time alone to be happy. Don’t you want that” I asked making his head shake.

“You’d be happy with me” he demanded his voice starting to rise. “But I wasn’t. We saw that already. If you really care about me you’ll let me be happy won’t you Dev?” I tried making his face harden and his hand quickly fly across my face.

My cheek stung but I was used to it by now so the pain was tolerable. “No you will be happy with me and that’s final do you understand me” he snapped grabbing my cheek forcefully making me look at him. “Go to hell” I gritted out knowing there was no hope in talking him down now but I won’t go easy.

“Excuse me?” He challenged tilting my head up more towards his. I spit at him making him drop my face and slowly pull back using his shirt to wipe his face. “You b***h” he snarled slapping me harder this time making my chair fall sideways.

“I’ll come back later and when I do you better be more well behaved” he demanded leaving the room. I have to get out of here.
