My Alpha Mate

Chapter 6: Did You Miss Me?

The wolves rushed us quickly to the pack doctor Blane and Nathan already back in their human form, a towel wrapped around their waist.

“I don’t need the doctor give me some Advil I’ll be fine” Blane demanded but he was ignored and carried onto a gurney. “Let me see your wounds” the mild aged man demanded making me assume he was the pack doctor.

“You too hop up here” he asked looking at me. “I’m fine really no cuts or bumps” I spoke hoping up on the mattress. “I’m Dr. Smith you must be our new member” he introduced making me nod.

“Skylar” I replied sitting still as he checked for injuries. “What exactly were you three doing out there?” He questioned Blane speaking up first. “Well Skylar wants to be a pack warrior but I’m not sure if she’s good enough yet” he spoke Nathan mumbling in agreement.

“Says the two bleeding all over the floor” I argued making Dr. Smith chuckle. “Skylar honey are you okay?” My mother's voice called from the doorway. “Yeah yeah I’m all right” I assured letting her pull me into a hug.

“When I heard you were attacked by rouges I didn’t know what to think” she whispered it finally occurring to me that she might of got the same call she did right now that she had gotten with my father. “I’m okay ma. I’m okay” I assured making eye contact with Nathan over her shoulder his facial expression unreadable.

“Why were there rouges so close to pack lines” Nathan demanded his question pointed at half n***d male. “I’m not sure Alpha” he replied making Nathan’s eyes squint. “You’re in charge of our pack boarder and the best answer you can give me is ‘I don't know’ ?” Nathan bellowed making the man's head bow instinctively.

“Food has been limited in the unclaimed territory’s Alpha I suspect they were drawing closer to us in search of food” he replied reviving a firm nod from Nathan. Rogues are outcast, wolves without a pack. Most have been I kicked out of their old pack, some rebelling, but a wolf without a pack becomes dangerous and fully animalistic, unable to connect with their human side and shift from their Wolf.

“Double the wolves on patrol if any of them enter my land on your watch it will be the worst mistake you ever made” Nathan threatened the man nodding and quickly leaving the room. “Let’s get you home yeah?” My mother spoke helping me up and leading me back to our house.

After having to tell my mother I’m perfectly okay a few hundred times she had finally left me to sleep. Though the night wasn’t perfect, it was exciting. I loved to fight, this fact caused my mother to worry most nights, but I could deny the thrill. I had just turned off my TV hearing my phone ding.

Unknown Number

Sorry about tonight. Meet me by the woods behind your house?

I sat there for a moment before deciding I’d see what he wanted. Quickly slipping on shoes I snuck out my window knowing my mother would kill me if she heard me going back out for the night. “Nathan?” I whispered looking around the woods before feeling somebody right behind me.

“Did you miss me princess?” A chilling voice came from behind me before a sharp pinch and everything went black.

Nathan’s POV

Blane and I sat on my couch the next morning watching TV and still icing our injuries. “That chick is a good fighter, though I don’t know if I’d ever tell her that. Took down two rouges with nothing but a butterfly knife and her strength and not one scratch on her. Pretty badass if you ask me” Blane spoke making me smile nodding in agreement.

“She’s my mate” I spit out not knowing exactly why I was keeping it a secret in the first place. Maybe to save myself from the humiliation of telling people she didn’t want me.

“What?” He questioned his voice full of shock. “Yeah. She doesn’t want to be with me though and I don’t really know why. Her previous Alpha told me they were moving from a hostile situation so that might have something to do with it but he wouldn’t elaborate.” I continued.

“This all makes sense now I was wondering why you wanted me to come meet some girl at 11 o’clock at night and why you keep pausing from fighting to check on her. You know if you hadn’t of kept losing focus you wouldn’t be as hurt as you are” he replied making me scoff.

“Oh yeah and what about you why are you so messed up” I shot back making him mock hurt. “For your information I took on the three biggest wolves thank you” he lied making me laugh.

“I ought to kill you boys” an angry voice came from behind us making us both jump slightly and look over our shoulders. “You two running out into the woods at this time of night, almost getting yourselves killed” my aunt yelled walking around to the front of us.

“What do you have to say for yourselves huh? You two scared me half to death” she yelled neither of us replying. “Hello? I believe I asked you two a question” she snapped moving her hands to her hips. Technically I’m in charge but no pillar of leadership is getting in the way of my aunt when she’s pissed.

“Uh it was Nathan. He was just trying to impress his mate because she doesn’t want him and got us into trouble” Blane blames making my mouth drop. “Dude shut up” I hissed ready for her mood to get a lot worse.

“Excuse me? A mate? Since when?” She demanded making me look at her with a sheepish smile. Before I could respond the front door crashed open and Skylar's mother came running in.

“Please somebody has to help me. My daughter! He has my daughter!”
