CH:4 Her Mate

Alpha Fenrir was stunned at the scene and the bloodied body in front of him. Everything around him was blurry, and the only thing that he could see was the girl on the floor. His heart was sinking, not only that, but his whole body was shaking, he didn't know how to assess the situation!!! How to process all of this, his mate, his soul mate is hurt so badly. She is crying in pain. 

"Please, stop it." He heard. 

What to do? His mate was in so much pain and he could feel the agony. It feels as if he has lost all of his strength. He gulped taking slow steps toward her and each of his steps felt as if he walked for a mile, Fenrir stopped near her body and ended up sitting on the floor. The blood is dried on the floor, and fresh blood is coming out of her wounds. He can see many bruises on her face, but he doesn't know the condition of the wounds on her body. 

"Our mate is injured badly..." His wolf muttered in his head. 

"Why isn't she healing, what happened to her wolf? Why is she in so much pain? I cannot feel her wolf. She can not heal by herself..." These were the first few questions that came to Alpha Fenrir's mind. 

"Can you hear me?" He asked. But she didn't reply, it felt as if she passed out. With tender care, Alpha Fenrir gathers his mate into his arms, his touch gentle as he tries to assess her injuries. And she opened her eyes. 

"Ahh," She cried in pain. 

"I did not do anything please trust me, let me go... I can not tolerate it anymore, my wolf is very weak." She said in a very low voice. Aria's body trembles with pain and exhaustion, her spirit battered but unbroken beneath the weight of Sylvia's cruelty. But despite the darkness that threatens to engulf her, Aria feels something, a feeling that is very new to her, it feels as if in all this pain she finds solace in the warmth and strength of this man's embrace.

"Ssh, I am here and you are safe now, keep quiet!" Fenrir said. 

"What is happening? What is this feeling?" She asked herself. Alpha Fenrir 

holds her close and she feels all the pain vanishing from her body.

"Who are you?" She asked, but he didn't say anything.

Aria's body is so tired from all the suffering she is wounded badly and if she is getting some relief from the girl's beating, she wants to sleep. So, she closed her eyes. 

On the other hand, Alpha Fenrir's heart swells with fierce protectiveness.  He always wanted to know about his mate. But he didn't know that the first feeling would be his love for Aria burning bright like a flame in the night. He was feeling her pain as his own at that exact moment when she closed her eyes. 

Alpha Fenrir's heart clenches at the sight of her pain, and he holds her closer, his embrace a silent promise of comfort and protection. 

"You're safe now," he assures her, his voice warm and soothing. 

"I won't let anyone hurt you again." He assured her, he vows to do whatever it takes to heal her wounds, both physical and emotional, and to ensure that she never again suffers at the hands of those who seek to harm her. 

Alpha Fenrir grazed Aria's face. He picked her up in his arms and carried her towards his room. His heart is heavy with guilt for not being there to protect her when she needed him most, but it is not the time to think about that, he needs to focus on tending to Aria's wounds and taking care of her, and also he has to see why isn't her wolf healing this girl.

Alpha Fenrir's room is decorated in black and golden colors, it is a royal luxury room with huge windows, the room is clean and there is a king-size bed placed in the middle of it. He lay her on his bed.

Alpha Fenrir was confused. He can not call anyone here, he doesn't want anyone to see her mate in this condition. He will not let anyone touch her, how will he clean her wounds? He gulped and then decided to do it by himself, he went and closed all the windows of his room then he locked the door of his room.

First, he took the first aid kit and placed it on the bed. He took out the bandages, painkiller injections, ointment, cotton, antiseptic, and dressing then he went to the bathroom. He turned on the faucet picked up a bucket, and filled it with lukewarm water, then he took it out in his room. 

Alpha Fenrir sat beside her on the bed. He turned on the bedside lights to see her wounds better, then put some antiseptic in the water, Fenrir wet the cotton and he moved away her hair from her face. With so much care he started wiping her face with the cotton, there was a red mark of a slap on her cheek, a black mark under her eyes, her lips, and her forehead, he cleaned her face and put ointment on her bruises. She looks familiar but Fenrir doesn't remember where has he seen this girl. 

After her face, he has to tend to her body. He gulped and then looked at the satin red dress she was wearing was all bloodied and dirty. He has to take it down from her body. There is a zipper on the side of it, and Fenrir's hands are shaking unzipping it. 

"I am sorry!" He said to her then moved out the dress from her body and put it down on the ground. Fenrir took a few towels and wiped all the blood from her body. He then looked at the deep wounds on her front, back, and legs, he did the dressing of the deep wounds and bandaged all the scars and bruises, after he had done it, he gave her two doses of painkillers, so she could heal properly. Fenrir went to her wardrobe and picked up one of his shirts then made her wear it. 

It took two hours for Alpha Fenrir to tend to Aria's injuries, his touch gentle and soothing as he applied salves and bandages to her wounds. He speaks to her softly, his words a whispered promise of love and protection, a vow to stand by her side no matter what trials may come their way. But she couldn't hear him, she didn't know who he was or why is he taking care of her, she was just sleeping peacefully unaware of the truth, that the day she had been waiting for was finally here, she finally found her mate. And he is no ordinary person, he is an Alpha. He can save her from any bully in her life. He has the power to eliminate anyone who will harm her, he has the authority to give her a title that will raise fear in anyone; 's heart who will think to harm her, and no one will dare to look into her eyes. 

After he was satisfied that she would heal now, he got up from the bed, so she sleep peacefully. But Alpha Fenrir's heart bloomed when she grabbed his hand tightly and muttered something, he bent close to her face to hear her whispers. 

"I did not do anything..." She cried. He saw a lone tear coming out of her eyes and he gathered it with his lips. She is so beautiful! He accepted the fact that she was the most beautiful girl of his life. Or it was his eyes that saw the beauty of his mate. Alpha Fenrir watched over her with a sense of fierce determination, his resolve strengthened by the knowledge that he would do whatever it took to keep her safe.

He lay beside her on the bed and placed an arm above her, she snuggled close to him. She is unaware of her actions and what they are doing to Fenrir. His eyes were stuck on her face, his arms giving her protection. He will burn the world if anything happens to her again... He will not let her go away from him at any cost. 

Fenrir was not only happy but he felt complete. There was another feeling surfaced for Fenrir and it was anger, his wolf was angry that their mate was hurt. Fenrir will not let Sylvia and his companions let go that easily, they all will pay for their actions. Fenrir made a promise to himself, but for now, he has to be with his mate. He looked at Aria's face one last time, then kissed her forehead and engulfed her in his arms. Fenrir closed his eyes and he also went into a deep sleep.
