Mated to a Phoenix

Dead Rogue

(Jasper)

I look at the dead body that was dragged to the bushes. Then, I see the silver knife Joshua had given my little mate and to be hones I was so glad he gave it to her. The handle of the knife is black and brown, but the blade is pure silver. The knife is right in the throat, but it’s obvious he has been stabbed a few times. Joshua grabs the knife and closes it before handing it to me. He then starts looking around and so do I. There is no way that this rogue came here in his wolf form and let humans see him. He has to have a change of clothes somewhere.

“Found it” I heard Joshua call. I head to where he was and sure enough there was a change of clothes with a small duffle bag. I opened the bag to see cash and some more clothes. There was also a note and under the note was a picture. A picture of my little mate.

‘As soon as you kill her leave town for a while. This money should help’ was all the note said.

“This picture is recent. Do you think there is someone at the pack who wants to hurt Yamilet?” Joshua asks. It’s hard to picture someone who wants to hurt Yamilet. Yamilet is really sweet and kind to everyone. She helps around the pack and doesn’t like it when you just gift her things. She wants to earn them.

“It’s hard to believe, but it looks like it. We need to find out who wants to hurt my mate before this happens again” I said.

“We can run the paper for prints. Unfortunately we can’t do anything about the handwriting since this was done by someone cutting letters from somewhere and gluing them until they got what they wanted. But maybe the picture could lead us somewhere” Joshua said.

“Sounds good. Have someone look into it. I’ll get some warriors to dispose of the body. Go home and spend time with your mate” I said.

“You too bro” Joshua said. We both shifted and headed back to the castle. I linked some warriors to dispose of the body.

‘Doctor Charles, did Yamilet go to see you?’ I linked the Doctor.

‘Yes, your highness. She has a few ribs and some cuts on her knuckles, but besides that she’s perfectly fine’ Doctor Charles links back.

‘Thank you Doc’ I said before cutting off the link. It seems like the training has been paying off, but now I can’t let my mate go anywhere alone. Not until I find out who tried to get her killed. I go to where my brother and I had take off our clothes earlier and I shift back to my human form and get dressed. I go inside the castle and before going to my mate’s room, I clean her knife carefully before closing it back up. I head to her room and I see her eyes slowly closing, but when I enter her room without knocking she sits up and winces. I quickly rush towards her and place my hand on her ribs making her gasp when she feels the sparks.

“Do you want to tell me now what happened?” I asked handing her the knife Joshua had given her. When she looks at the knife she sighs and lays back on the bed and scoots over. I lay next to her and pulled her towards me.

“I was walking back home with Cassandra when she stopped sniffing the air. Cassanda said the word Rogue and before she could say anything this naked man came out of nowhere and tackled me to the ground” she said and I couldn’t help but growl.

“Cassandra hit him with a large stick knocking him off of me. I told her to run know she would call for help through the link. I took out the knife and stabbed the man making him making him howl in pain. I asked him who sent him but he didn’t answer. I kept stabbing him until he answered” she said. The rogue told her who sent him?

“Who sent him?” I asked her. She was quiet for a few seconds before responding.

“No one” she replied making me look at her.

“I knew he was lying, so I tried to get him to tell me, but instead I killed him” she said shuddering.

“Do you want to talk about how you feel about killing the rogue?” I asked.

“It was self defense. It was kill or be killed and I wasn’t ready to be killed” she said with a shrug before yawning.

‘Mate is becoming tougher everyday’ Casper says proudly.

‘Yes, she is’ I admitted.

“let’s take a nap, when you wake up we’ll go out and eat something” I tell my mate.

“Can we go to Chick Fill A?” she asks.

“We can go anywhere you want, but first I want to take you somewhere” I said and kissed the top of her head. After a few minutes her breathing and heartbeat evened out.

‘We need to find out who is after our mate and make him or her suffer’ Casper said.

‘We will’ I assured him. I closed my eyes deciding to also take a nap. It wasn’t long until I also fell asleep.

"Where are we going?" Yamilet asks. After we woke up from our nap, I asked her to take a shower and get dressed cause I was going to take her somewhere.

"We haven't had dinner so I want us to go have dinner" I told her.

"No fancy restaurant please. I'm not dressed for it" she said looking down at her jeans and red hoodie. She likes wearing red.

"Don't worry about that. We're not going to a fancy place", I chuckled. She nods and looks out the window. Earlier when I went to go get her she had showered and gotten dressed, but when I opened the door she was reading a book. She's always reading something and I don't know how she does it, but she can walk and read without bumping into anyone or anything. I smile to myself as I look at her again. I hear her gasp when she sees the lights of the carnival. I pull over and I watch as she looks at the place in awe. I get out of the car and open the door for her. Out of nowhere she squeals and throws herself at me hugging me. I chuckle and hug her tight.

"I take it as you like it" I said.

"I love it. I can't wait. Let's go" she says pulling me to the front and I can't help but laugh at her excitement. I paid for our bracelets and we walk around for a bit to see what they have.

"Which ride do you want to get on first?" I asked.

"How about... that one" she said pointing to the bumper cars. I chuckle again and we both head to the bumper cars. She takes one car and I take another. Yamilet laughs when she sees how I look in this little thing.

"You look like a sardine" she laughed, and I playfully growled at her. We started to ride around and bump into each other and I couldn't help but smile every time she laughed. When the ride was done, we went to a roller coaster and sat in the front row. As we started to go to the top Yamilet grabbed my hand and gasped at the sparks.

"Are you okay?" I asked, making her look at me. For a second, I thought her eyes flashed a yellow color, but it must have been the lights playing tricks on me. Yamilet grinned and nodded her head. Suddenly, we moved and began to drop. Yamilet screamed and laughed at the same time tightening her grip on me. For a little while, I forgot about the attack on her today and that I was a king and just had fun with my mate. When the ride finished we went to a few more before I decided it was time to eat.

"What would you like to eat?" I asked Yamilet. She looked around before pointing to a pizza.

"Let's order a pizza" she said. I put my arm around her shoulders and walked to the pizza stand. My phone rang and I saw it was Alec.

"Here, why don't you order for us while I answer the phone" I said handing her some cash. She nods and walks away.

"Hey man what's up?" I ask as I answer the phone.

"Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, but Joshua told me what you guys found, so I started looking through the magazines that we have in the recreation room, but I didn't find anything. I then went to check the library and I found a few magazines that had been cut They were actually in the trash" Alec informs me.

"Okay, do you have any idea who could have been?" I asked.

"No, Richard is going through the surveillance cameras to see who has been going in and out of the library" Alec informs me.

"Thanks man. You and Richard are not just great Betas and Gammas, but also great best friends" I said.

"Oh you're making me blush", Alec joked making me laugh. I looked over at my mate to see her scowling at the guy.

"I have to go. I'll see you later" I said before hanging up. I walk up to my mate and the guy looks up at me.

"Hey is everything okay?" I ask.

"Everything if fine pops" the boy snapped at me before turning to Yamilet. I can tell he's a human.

"Come on Yamilet, don't be like those bitches at school" the guy says.

"I'm not like any other female. I'm the female that when my feet touch the ground the Devil says 'Oh crap, she's up'. Don't compare me to anyone because I'm not anyone, I'm me" Yamilet said and I swear if she was a wolf she would have growled.

"Come on, I can be the prince charming you wish for" the guy said making Yamilet scoff.

"I never wished for a prince charming. In fact forget Prince charming. I want a Big Bad Wolf that will see me better. Hear me better. And Eat me Better" Yamilet said making my head snap towards her. I have never heard such things come out of her mouth and I have to admit it was hot as f**k.

"Forget the pizza. I don't want it anymore. Oh, and this man you just called 'pops' is more of a man than you will ever be" Yamilet said grabbing my hand and pulling me away. I have to admit her standing up for herself was hot so sexy.
