"M-m-mates?" It couldn't be possible. I was just a useless little runt. How could I have a mate?
"It's okay little one. There's no need to be scared." I backed up on his bed but I groaned at the pain that was still coursing throughout my body. I glanced up at Xavier, fear in my eyes. He gently steps towards me and sits next to me on the bed. "You do know what that means, don't you?" I nod but wince. This pain was really starting to get annoying.
"Of course I do. It's just that. . . I thought I would never have a mate. The elders that were left of my pack said that it is rare for a runt to have a mate."
"That doesn't matter. You need to rest little one." He reached his hand out towards me but I flinched away from him and then flinched from the pain of flinching. Does that even make sense
