Bound To The Gemini Alpha’s

Mate

{Layla’s POV}

I paced around the hospital hallway as the doctor and nurse checked over Cass. Her skin was so pale, she looked so fragile and weak. When she was talking to me I could sense something was wrong, but I didn’t expect her to pass out like that. I’m covered in her blood, and I already called my brothers asking one of them to come pick me up here and bring me a change of clothes so I can get out of my bloody ones.

“Sis, are you okay? You called and told me that you were in the hospital and I rushed right over. Here’s your clothes you asked for.” My brother said pulling me into his arms, a bag wrapped around his wrist. My hands were still covered in Cass’s blood, and my heart still in a panic.

I hugged him tightly. “I’m fine Matthew, it wasn’t me that got hurt. It was another student, she solved Professor Larren’s problem! She solved Larren’s Comet! I was so excited I rushed over to talk to her. She asked to schedule a meeting because she needed to get home. I agreed then she turned and collapsed, her head was bleeding so much..” I whispered. “I didn’t know what to do, I helped her as much as I could and finally got the bleeding to slow down by the time the ambulance got there and I rode over with her..”

His hands gripped my shoulder and he stiffened, he leaned down sniffing all over me. “Mate.. you were with my mate..” he looked at my hands and my shirt noticing all the blood. He shook his head but leaned down sniffing my hands. “My mate.. she’s the one that’s hurt..” he looked around frantically.

“Matthew! She’s not a shifter.. she’s hurt.. let’s give her a minute, I’ll take you to her room and you can see her through the window..” I said softly.

“I need to call Mason too.. you know that if I don’t he’ll find out later and be pissed!” He said sighing and running his hands through his hair before pulling out his phone.

I walked him over to her window then took his phone. “I’ll call Mason, you just stay here, you can talk to her soon.. maybe..” I said before turning and making my way down the hallway.

{Matthew’s POV}

“Mate, Mate, Mate!” Chaos kept jumping around in my head, laughing and playing. He was so excited to see her, just like I was. But I was anxious.. too anxious. I paced in front of the window not able to look inside yet. “I want to see mate! Look at mate!” He yelled in my head, making my eyes vibrate.

“Chaos.. she’s hurt, what if seeing her sets you off?” I asked, still pacing around.

“See mate! I want to see mate!” He kept chanting.

“Okay, okay!” I said, finally giving into him, he’s like a giant puppy, but when he gets angry he’s a lot to handle. I looked into the window to her room, there was a doctor standing over her, he was listening to her heart with a stethoscope, and the nurse was using a flashlight and looking into her eyes. Once they were done, I finally got a good look at her. She was beautiful, her eyes were pale green, hair, long and wavy, and deep brown. Her skin was pale, and light freckles danced across her cheeks. Her arms were covered in tattoos, and my eyes explored her making their way to her chest. She was in a tank top which displayed her curves. She was skinny, almost scrawny, but her curves were amazing. Her hips wide, and her breasts large and perky. She nodded as the doctor spoke, and her eyes began to close, it was as if they were growing heavier and heavier, being harder to keep open. She looked adorable, but seeing her with the bandage around her head made Chaos anxious.

“Mate is perfect, but mate is hurt! We protect mate!” He nodded in my head, and I agreed. I would do anything to protect her, and I didn’t even know her name yet.

Soon I heard Layla sigh as she walked up to me, handing me my phone back. “Well, Mason was made aware of today’s events and says he’ll meet with us as soon as he gets out of the elder council meeting.” She said. “He was of course his usual chipper self..” she let out another sigh.

“Sis, you know that Mason is just like that, I can’t remember a time when he genuinely was having a good time doing anything!” I laughed softly. “He’ll recover.. we all had to after dad passed, he’s just still healing, and he tries to take on the most work so that way he can feel needed.”

“I know, I had just hoped..” she started, but I already knew what she was going to say.

“I did too.. but maybe meeting her will help, maybe that’s what he needs. I think he’s just worried, anxious, and afraid. What if she rejects us, or what if something happens. If he doesn’t get his hopes up, then it won’t hurt as much if something goes wrong.” I said turning my attention from my mate to my little sister. “Don’t worry sis, this’ll all be okay.” She walked over and nuzzled up to my side. I peered back at the little woman on the hospital bed. “She’s so little, she looks so tired..” I said softly.

“She’s brilliant, she’s the one Professor Larren has been telling us about, she’s Cassie!” She smiled up at me. Though my sister was 5’8, I stand at 6’4 and Mason is 6’6. We tower over almost everyone in our pack, and our mate looked so tiny.

My heart swelled to hear Layla say such nice things about our mate. “Cassie! Mates name is Cassie! I love mate, I want to go to her, I want to mark her!” Chaos whined in my head.

“Not yet buddy.” I answered back.

“But mate hurt, if we mark her, I can heal her!” He whimpered.

“I know, but I think we should talk to her first, gauge the situation and actually try to connect with her first.” I said, pulling his attention back.

“You’re right, we’ll do it your way. Go talk to mate though, I want to hear her voice.” He wagged his tail in my head.

I looked down at Layla, “Chaos and I want to talk to her.. you said she isn’t a shifter.. she doesn’t know about us.. what should we do?” I asked nervously.

“For now, nothing. Let her rest, we have an appointment with her tomorrow morning. We’ll figure out a way to get her home, then we’ll see her in the morning.” She said, before turning her attention back to my mate.

I nodded, she was right, first we needed to get her home, then we’ll talk to her in the morning.
