Five

Carter

 I feel like I haven’t been able to sleep for the last three days that she’s been out of it. The doc said she was underweight and had giving her something to help her heal but that she had been so much she feared that my beautiful mate would never be able to over come it. I begged her for more information but like her son Karine said no and stubbornly rose a brown at me when I tried to use my alpha authority on her to get her to tell me what I wanted to know.

When she was brough out of the med wing she was placed in one of the guest rooms but I didn’t want her there, I wanted her in my room where I could watch over her. Hannah had gone off on one of her feminist rants and stormed out of my house only to come back four hours later with a furniture truck full of stuff and took in upon herself to remodel the guest room next to my room.

I was pissed at first because she handed me my own bank card, but when I saw what she had done and saw my mate laying in the new bed surrounded by fluffy pillows and a thick soft comforter I knew I couldn’t be mad anymore, especially because I didn’t no what shed been though other then the abuse I had witnessed.

After Quinn got her out of the house all hell broke loos and it was pack against pack in a full out brawl that cost Banner the fucking prick three of his men and one of mine. I myself left with my fare share of cuts and bite marks where fur was missing after I shifted and was taken down by three of banners pack as an amazingly stupid attempt to out smart me and kill me, but I was able to fought them off and tore into them leaving one dead and the other two lucky to be alive. I’m the fight Banner lost and ear and I’m pretty sure I left him blind in one eye if his healing ability isn’t able to heal his sight.

“I’m heading out so if you need me just call me” Hannah says as she walk into my office like she owns the damn place “Oh and she ate everything” she hold out her hand and I look at it with a raised brow, wondering why she’s holding her hand out to me like that. “You card” she says waving her hand out in front of me. “Why” I ask stretching it out as I say. “Because your mate needs clothes and other things” reluctantly I take out my wallet now knowing not to leave it out where she can just take my card and hand my card to her.

“Only buy a few essentials. Ill take her out once she’s ready and buy her what ever else she might need” she gives a smile that has me wanting to call the bank and put a limit on the card, then walk out of my office closing the door behind her.

Getting back to work I start going over the information I had Zane collect for me. The file is thinker then I had expected when he delivered it to me yesterday and I had yet to go through it.

Page after page of information about the Falls Hollow pack and the mystery behind its sudden change in the way the alpha ran his pack come to light making me confused and intrigued at the same time. I’m reading over my mates mothers death records when a ear piercing scream rock through the house and myself,

Pushing my chair back I rush out of the room and up the stairs and into my mates room. The creaming is so forceful and loud the mirror on the vanity cracks as do the windows in the room. Spotting Quinn standing in the doorway, hands over his ears I rush to the bathroom and see my mate on the floor with her hands bald and arms crossed over her chest. She screams and cries with such force I feel it push against me as I step into further into bathroom. Eventually I’m able to push past the force and wrap myself around me, instantly she grabs ahold of me and starts to calm down as I rock her slowly while shushing her softly.

Once she’s calm I carry her to the bed and clime in next to her as she tenses then relaxes after I reassure her I’m not going to harm her. She slips her hand in mine then falls asleep with small low snores vibrating through her thin frame as she sleeps with my hand still somehow tightly locked with hers.

Her strawberry blonde hair is spread out on the pillow next to me and I want so badly to brush my fingers through it and feel its silkiness between my fingers, but I know I cant, al least not yet.

Reluctantly I slide my hand out of hers and get out of the bed as slow as possible so I don’t wake her.

Looking out the cracked glass of the window I see  the sun has started to set and I pull the curtains closed and exit the bedroom, closing the door with a soft click behind me.

Slowly I make my way downstairs seeing, Nico, Hannah, Quinn and a few others standing in the living room in some kind of hushes discussion.
