"Nath, please be awake" her mother mind links her as she stirred in her sleep. Moaning she didn't want to be awake, she wanted yet another minutes or even an hour for more sleep before she awoke to be reminded she had an impairment. In her sleep the only hung that came to her mind was why her mother thought it was the best thing to wake her up this late at night? It was literally hitting 12 and there was no ceremony at their pack so what could be the problem. Being stubborn Natalia didn't wake but pulled the blanket to make her sleep even more to be warmer. "Nathie please be awake" her mother begged this time around. Groaning she knew from her mother's mind links she didn't sound happy with her. "Mama, what's wrong!" Nathie mindlinked her mother still half asleep. "Nathie, you need to be awake and run my daughter, a rogue pack has attacked and you need to save yourself, we were able to get to your sister earlier but we can't get to you please" "Where are you guys mummy?" she
As she ran her wolf tried it's possible best making sure it ran as fast as it could.She too didn't want to be caught in this madness.Nathalia ran into the forest the wind making 'wooshing' sounds to her ears and she heard nothing just using her hands,smell and eyes to get the fuck out of there.She was free,after 144 months she was finally free.The smell of the forest and grasses felt like a dream she had always dreamt of but had never had.She could feel her wolf become even more stronger than she had ever imagined.Whilst back at the rogue pack she always felt her wolf would leave her because what adventure was she having with it?But now she understood, it was there to keep her steady and to make sure she made it out of this place gloriously.It was her safe refuge she didn't even feel a pinch or pain.As she whipped passed trees she could feel her wolf patting her back and making her believe they were now a free wolf.Her human self became tired as she tried to rest but as she
"There is a rogue at the entrance of the pack" the Alpha's beta mind links him."Why do I have to come see a rogue you have just seen? Don't you know how to handle rogues or do I have to teach you how to do that now Jordan?" he groaned as he was busy and didn't want to be disturbed."No Xavier you need to see this, I promise you I am just not disturbing you" he said as Xavier groaned even more not wanting to be disturbed in such a way.Rolling his eyes, what could possibly be so important that Jordan had to disturb his work."What makes this rogue special that you haven't dealt with already?" he asked still not getting up from where he was aeated because he had been dealing with some stuff from the office and trying to maintain a stance at the pack house."It's a woman" Jordan said in a somewhat panicked tone."So deal with her the same way we always deal with women rogues we find" "She smells different, she is acting differently too, she isn't fighting us as the other would when we
Finally he had met his mate and now he had to make sure he took care of her and had her explain just what had happened to her when she was in the hands of the rogues who had chosen to treat as trash.Xavier had already began making plans in his head as to how he was going to deal with them specifically but now he had to get Nathalia to the hospital so he linked his pack nurse.“Jacqueline, we are on our way, I happen to have found my mate and she is badly hurt and well the moon goddess gave me a rogue for a mate” he said and finished the last sentence under his breath because well he just was still trying to understand why his mate was rogued and was it that she couldn’t hear or speak cause she looked like someone who was absolutely scared of them all even in her state of laying down there scared she sure had gone through a lot.“Congratulations Alpha” Jacqueline said as she heard her Alpha had finally found his mate after years of waiting.“Thank you Jackie” he said, “But let’s not g
Stirring as she tried to open her eyes, indeed she had somehow felt she was in a comfortable place and this felt like a dream to her because well the floor had been her bed for 144 months and she had already become used to that.She laid there enjoying the peacefulness that came with the space she had found herself in.As she slept there enjoying the peacefulness, she began to feel pain as she had now finally awoken from her slumber. It felt like she was going to die from the pain she was feeling.Her ribs ached, her head churned, and her hands hurt too.’Had she been kidnapped by the rogues yet again? Then what was the need for her to take an entire day running away from them when they still had that time to get closer to her? Maybe it was a dream! Maybe she had not run away from them, maybe as she was about running, she had been caught by one of them and hence the fact that she felt so much pain at this moment.Maybe she had been beaten for having the guts to try to live the space
When she struggled even more to talk and couldn’t get anything out, she then decided to point to her ear and mouth.She thought that if she had just done that she was going to pass over to those at the hospital ward that she doesn’t hear anything and could not speak specifically because she had been mute for an extensively long time.Jacqueline gave her a look, and then back at Xavier, maybe he could understand her as she was his mate.But Xavier gave her a look, which screamed she didn’t link him, and he, in fact didn’t know what she was saying.“Maybe we should give her a pen and paper she just might write down what she is explaining” a nurse assisting Jacqueline suggested.“Fine bring one now so she tells us” she ordered, and a few seconds went by, and the paper and pen were brought.She began to write but her hand was shaking and the way the words came off from the words she was trying to write was super ugly but at least she had written something down and they coulkd read it.“I
Well, form the look of things after her treatment at the hospital she had been resting for continuous week just in bed and not doing anything else she sure needed it.She had been taken to show around the pack, but when they were walking, she had felt weak and well, hence the one week in bed she had gotten.The doctor had said her body was still finding ways to recover from all the stress and trauma she had gone through, hence the reason why she had even collapsed when she was going to the bathroom.Judging from the way she reacted to hands being raised or if she heard a chaos outside the way she reacted sure showed that she had a past she was running from and Xavier could only wish he could help his mate be fine and normal yet again.Mathias had finally found his mate, and Xavier, being Mathias’s best friend, was excited that they had found their missing ribs from the goddess and were super happy.She had serious PTSD as per the diagnoses and Xavier had to make sure he didn’t portray
She watched him as he had just signed to her.She was still wondering how he could sign so well as from the way he looked he didn’t seem like someone who could have just learnt how to sign that perfectly.“What’s your name?” he asked her slowly, hoping she was just going to respond to what he had asked without feeling like she was trouble to him.She had a feeling of fear. Something deep within her bugged her from trusting him, but from the way he had behaved from the days she had been there, maybe it was wise she just trusted him, right?They had been together for like two weeks yet he had not forced her to tell him her name and he was steadily making sure she fine and not wanted to force her to do something which she didn’t want to do.Looking down at her hands she fiddled for a moment, she just felt somewhat happy as for sure she could not remember the last time someone had asked her what she was called, somehow this was emotional to her, she looked at him and the look in his eyes
A light breeze brushed through her body, waking her. She glanced up and saw her father in the middle of a lovely garden, the kind she had always promised him she would have when she was eighteen, a place where she could sit and reflect on her life.The grass was dotted with the greenest of bushes, and she adored the way all the other flower bushes were trimmed and shaved. Flowers were blooming, and they were all in vibrant colours.She slowly followed the butterflies that were floating past her side in all their beauty as she got up from where she had been sitting.Since it was a brand-new location, she had never been before; perhaps her father had done it.Was she dreaming?Touching her jaws in the hopes that she would not wake up from this dream, she forced herself to walk through the soft grass and headed for a stony path.Curiously, she started walking along the path, admiring the beautiful lilies and daffodils her father had undoubtedly provided for her because she had always enj
Nathalia was certain she could remember how letters sounded, and hearing Jacqueline encourage her after she spoke boosted her confidence even further.Opening her mouth, she attempted to say the letters and even form some words; she stuttered a little, but after a few attempts, she was successful, grinning when she noticed Jacqueline grinning back with a happy smile at what she had just said."Very good, Nathalia, you are doing absolutely great, and I promise you that if you continue in this manner, you will go a long way," she said, placing a letter card beside the pile of ones Nathalia had already read out.Nathalia nodded confidently; who knew she would one day be seated in front of another, smiling and receiving compliments for what she was doing? All of this was new to her, and she wished she could stick with it forever because she was still convinced Derrick was out there looking for her.Perhaps she thought that if she could wear the new hearing aid and use her words, she would
Jacqueline grinned as she approached Nathalia at the pack hospital reception and said, "Good morning, Nathie."She smiled and said, "Good morning, Jacqueline," or more accurately, she signed back.As she could swear she had just seen Nathalia's real smile, or a better version of her face, she said with pleasure, hoping her stay at the pack had been beneficial. "From the smile and look on your face you seem to be in a better mood.""I am doing fine, Jacky. How are you?" She asked again, her smile still visible as she turned to face the doctor."How is Xavier doing?" she enquired. "I am really great.""He is fine, I think, or at least mostly," she said."Oh! "Why guess?""Well, he is busy with some pack duties," she said with a smile."Since you are here, can we do your checkup?""That sounds good." I was thinking maybe I could try some new hearing aids and learn how to talk; not that these do not help, but I have pain in my ears," she said, pointing to the hearing aids she was given wh
“Okay” she responded as she looked at him deep into his eyes and somehow she saw that he was having now another eye flip but not the silver to bluish, almost like she was seeing a need in his eyes like he wanted to lay her down on the bed and then make her feel happy. She guessed that was what should have been done the day she had been marked.“Xavier?” she called out making him pull back abruptly trying to control himself.“I am sorry sometimes Mathias just has his ways of doing things and just right now you got to meet Mathias who had come out to have a kiss at you at his will” he explained.She looked at him nervously not really knowing what to say at this point as it showed that he not only like her but his wolf also had fallen in love with her and she could only say thanks to the Goddess for this.“Hello Mathias” she finally said as she bit her lip.Mathias lost his growl as he growled now a little harder which sent vibrations through her body and gave her a grin before Xavier’s
How could he still be looking for her? Why had he not thought she had been captured and killed as she had ran away?With the way she was malnourished and left with nothing but bones and a few broken ribs, why did he think it was perfect to come looking for her still?“We had another couple of rogues come to tell us that they didn’t think you were dead because somehow Derrick could feel your presence and I don’t know why he has such a feeling about you when he had not been able to penetrate or mark you” Xavier said as he continued to explain to her what had happened.Oh Goddess! Why could Derrick not leave her alone? Why did he think that he still had a ho9ld on her life?.“How did he get my scent past your territory, you have marked me and the rogue scent is gone, the blood and wounds all healed and I smell like vanilla and musk, that’s you and I mixed in one right?” she asked nervously looking at him and he could see the scare in her eyes and goddess he didn’t like seeing her like th
“You are in love with me?” she asked a she had in her life not expected for him to fall in love with bones.Yes she literally called herself bones as all she could see were the stripes of skeletal form when she viewed herself on the mirror all she saw was a woman who had and will never be fully formed with flesh even though now she could see that it was getting full from the drugs Jacqueline was giving to her.He can’t be in love with her right?“I am in love with you Nathalia Chadson Hills” he signed adding his name to her names making her even more shivering with what she could term anxiety.The love coming from this man and those who were by him was something she was super shocked of.She liked it, and at the same time she hated it because as it was one could lose them all just like the same way she had loved her parents and her sister and finally ended up not having them for the past fifteen years of her life.Maybe she shouldn’t fall so much in love with him when he could leave h
As she walked through the pack she found herself before his he was in deep conversation with Ax and Jordan discussing something about having to find whoever it was that had planned the attack on him.She didn’t look happy and Ax and Jordan all knew where this was going to having found their own mates too and even before Xavier they knew when women where mad and they knew they had to go extra lengths to make them happy.Probably something Xavier was yet to learn as he always took everything on the serious note he sure was going to learn now that having to deal with his mate held a lot of tolerance, attention and emotions he had hidden for reasons best know to him.He just left and now he was here giving orders forgetting he had a mate who was upper worried about him.Somehow he was lucky to have had a mate who was deaf and couldn’t really scream out loud because if she for sure knew how to scream he should have heard his name from the moment she entered through the small door dividing
She ran into the room where Xavier had been said to be in. She had finally awoken from the faint and dizziness she had felt when she had just come there and looking closely now she saw what she wouldn’t have wanted to see on anyone she loves body.Xavier was covered in blood and he had a wolf bite on his lap and looking upwards to his chest there were approximately if counted correctly three bullets holes all trying to target his heart.Terrifyingly Joy tried to pull her out as she watched Jacqueline try to revive him out of his convulsive state.The smell of crimson filling the air and because bullets where silver like she could smell the stench of burning flesh her heart hurting as her mates pains met with her as she screamed. Previous pain recurring and reminding her slowly, this was what she used to go through and maybe she just had to witness it yet again. Her chest heaving the pains he was feeling and Xavier tried his best not to share it with her, but the more he tried not to
Joy grinned as she scarfed the meal down and Nathalia’s jaw dropped as she somehow knew that what she had cooked was a meal she knew that he was going to compliment it even if it wasn’t so good but she knew that she was going have to explain to her sister in law what she had made but seeing that she had loved it was so complimentary to her life and she for sure knew that now she could continue her cooking spree when at home.Joy finished the food in a few minutes and when she looked up at her she ended up bursting into laughter as she saw that her expression was a mix of amazement and also a mix of what seemed to be shock that she had ate of the food with so much happiness.“That right there Nathalia was delicious and somehow I feel so envious of my brother right now because he seems to be living the life that I want” she signed before she arose from the seat she had been on enjoying the food she had been served.She went downstairs and returned after she had washed the bowl of food t
