Alpha's Blind Mate

Chapter7

******************************Gage**************************

"What did the doctor all say?" Dad asked. I stopped pacing as I looked at him. Rubbing my face,

"He said she has scars on her and some bruising. He thought maybe it was from bumping into things And that she is smaller than normal,"

I moved to sit back down,

"Well, when I spoke to her during the ball, she was very small-framed. Maybe she was a runt when born,"

"I dont know. She is smaller than most werewolves, even for a female, and she is an Alpha daughter. She is also so thin, like there is no meat on her bones,"

"Im sure once she is here for a while, she will gain weight. We need to find out what she needs to help her. With her not being able to see and now being in a different house, if she requires certain things, we will have to get them," Dad said,

I nodded, My mind drifting back to her, wondering if she was okay,

"But we do need to inform the elders that you have found your mate. This will spread throughout the pack once they hear of her, and im sure someone saw or heard the father leaving out of here,"

"Can it wait? I just found her tonight. This is all new for her. Once they hear about her, they are going to show up here," I ask him,

I didn't want to keep her hidden, but they would come to meet her in person and see who my mate was, and they would judge her for her being blind, Saying our children could be born with issues and not be strong, but she wasnt born blind, and that's obvious with the scars across her eyes say it all,

"I know you are worried, but if they get wind of how we waited, they will think we have something to hide, and that will make it worse when they show up,"

I pinched the bridge of my nose,

"How about this? Let's wait a day. If they ask, we can say she was overwhelmed, and we took a day to get her settled before notifying them,"

"Alright, I just dont want them crawling down her throat just yet. I mean, I still haven't learned everything about her. It has only been a few hours since I met her. They need to understand."

"I understand where you are coming from, but Gage, we are not in the same group as the others. They dont have to deal with the elders like we do; we are in the spotlight no matter how badly we dont want to be, and now Macklin is in that light too,"

I felt a growl build at the thought of others looking at her. Pushing it back, I know Dad didnt mean it that way,

Dad chuckled, "Just so you know, that will never stop,"

Looking at him, I frown, what was he talking about,

"The possessiveness. You just growled when I mentioned her in the spotlight. Your thought of others looking at her made you growl,"

I realized I must have done that out loud and not kept it in,

"Sorry,"

He held a hand up,

"It is fine. After all these years, I still dont like others looking at your mother in any way, but I know she can handle herself, and she is mine,"

"Gage," Mom's voice pushes through my thoughts,

"Mom, Is she okay?" Worry laced in my voice,

"Yes, she is awake,"

"Im on my way,"

"Okay, dear, she is calm, dont worry. She was started at first, but once we talked for a bit, she calmed down,"

Hurrying out of the office, I returned to my room. Dad was right behind me,

I could their voices as I got closer, "It sounds like they are getting along," Dad said as we reached my door,

Coming through the door, I saw she was sitting up on the bed, leaning back against the headboard as Mom sat in the chair next to her,

She stopped speaking as her eyes moved around. Her breathing hitched, Then her eyes landed on me, Did she know i was here?

"Oh Gage, you here,"

Stepping closer,

"Hello, Macklin," She turns her head in my direction,

"Hi," She whispers,

Slowly, I reached out, letting my fingers graze her hand. She flinches a little, but she doesn't pull back as the tingles erupt,

"Sorry if I startled you," I tell her, sitting on the edge of the bed,

"It is okay. Normally, I can tell when someone is close, but my senses are off tonight,"

I take her hand fully in mine, My wolf purring at the contact with our mate,

"That can be understandable. A lot has happened in the last few hours. I see you have met my mother,"

Her head nodded, "Yes, Queen Lindsey was very nice. I was a little confused when I woke up, but she stayed and talked to me and helped me calm down."

"Im glad, "

"It was my pleasure, young lady. I've already told you it's just Lindsey for you. After all, we will be family, sweetie,"

"Ms. Macklin," my father says as he approaches the bed. Macklins head swiveled as she tried to locate him,

"King Weston?" It sounded more like a question,

"Yes, my dear. We met earlier tonight, do you remember?"

"Yes, My King,"

"Now, none of that. You are Gage's mate and therefore family so it will be just Weston,"

"As you wish, my ki Or Weston" Macklin says. I see her face turning a slight pink,

"I know tonight has been kinda a rollercoaster, but I want to ensure you that you are safe here,"

"Thank you, I appreciate your hospitality. Im sorry for any trouble I have caused,"

"Oh, nonsense, my dear. It was no trouble at all," Mom pats her shoulder. Macklin shifts a bit but settles quickly,

"Gage, We will take our leave and let you two talk," Dad says as he wraps his arm around mom's waist, leading her out of the room,

Once the door clicked shut,

I Lifted her hand and placed a kiss on her palm. I heard her suck in a breath,

"Im sure you have a million questions. I will answer everything I can, so let them fly," I tell her as ran my lips over her knuckles,

"Um," her voice quivered a little; my touch affected her.

"What happened with my Father?"

Laying our hand back on her lap, I reach across her legs, placing my palm down on the mattress as I propped myself against it,

"He left. He wasnt happy about it, but he did eventually leave,"

"Oh," Her head dropping down, "Im sorry for anything he said,"

Frowning at her words,

Placing a finger under her chin, I tip her head up,

"Why are you apologizing for him?"

She shrugged a bit, "Im sure he was mad about what I had done. He did tell me not to leave the table area, and I did,"

"Sweetheart. You have nothing to be sorry for. You did nothing wrong,"

"I want to apologize to you as well."

"Me?"

Her head bobs. "Yes, I feel I made a mess of things And'm not what you probably were looking for, an,"

I cut her off, "You are everything I want and need. I already told you Im not rejecting you. I want you as my mate,"

"I know, But I dont understand. I mean, look at me. I have nothing to offer you. What would you gain from having a mate that is blind?"

"You have a lot more to offer than anyone, and the moon goddess made you for me, and im not letting you go. I dont care if you cant see. You are my other half,"

She fidgets with her finger on the hand im still holding. When a small yawn escapes her,

"Oh, Im so sorry," She covers her mouth,

Letting out a chuckle,

"Its been a long day, how about we get changed and get some rest,"

"That sounds nice, but I would lie. I feel as if I ran a marathon," She laughed a little, "Where will I be staying?"

Tucking some hair behind her ear,

"You will be staying here, with me,"

I
