Everyone rode in silence. I look down at her watching the bandages that James and Arlo had put on her quickly before we left, were blood soaked. I quickly take my shirt off and wrap it around her frail body tightly to attempt to slow the bleeding. She's Beautiful, I thought to myself as I moved her blood-stained silver hair out of her face.
"How much longer" I growled. "If we don't hurry, she's going to bleed out!"
Arlo, who was driving, started going faster, gripping the steering wheel tightly. "Calm down Xavier we are less than 5 minutes out; Artemis is waiting at the gate for us." he said in a low growl.
I pulled my mate into my arms, keeping her close looking down at her. I couldn't help but smile. Then James suddenly started talking.
"While we were waiting for you Xavier. Alpha Thomas and Luna Marie came up to me. They said they were invited to what was supposed to be an auction. Then they saw her chained up and everyone there was very uncomfortable, they wanted to leave but Riftan had his Omegas standing at almost all the exits. Next thing they knew Riley started whipping her. And only the Red Mark Pack had started cheering. Riftan was going to sell her." He said angrily while looking at my mate, his Luna, in my arms. His expression saddens.
I held her tighter, he was going to sell her off to someone to let them do whatever they wanted to her. I was furious now; I wanted to kill them all. Riftan will pay for this. I thought then was torn from my thoughts when Arlo started up.
"Xavier, we are here" Arlo announced as we pulled up to the gate, standing there was my parents, former Alpha King John, and Luna Queen Alice. Arlo quickly exited the driver's seat of the car and opened my door. I emerged with my mate in my arms, she felt lighter than a feather. I hear my parents gasp in horror at the sight they see. My mate nearly lifeless in my arms, blood running down her arms and legs, her silver hair soaked with blood. My body was covered in her blood.
"Xavier, who is this she-wolf?" my father asked, holding my mother who was already crying.
"My mate," I say softly and they both gasp. Which wasn't surprising that they gasped, we all thought I'd never find my mate. Even though I'm only 26 years old.
"Quick now! Ask questions later!" Artemis said as he quickly walked to the door of the infirmary, I followed behind with my Beta and Gamma and Parents on my heels.
"Dear Goddess, what happened to her, Xavier?" My mother asked sobbing and my father held her close. As we all quickly walk in.
I lay my mate on the gurney as the nurses and doctors quickly take off with her before I could say anything. James then brings me a wet towel to wipe her blood off me and Arlo then brings me a new shirt to wear.
"Father, the treaty with the Red Mark Pack is done." I said firmly " I wasn't supposed to be there until tomorrow. I had such a bad feeling and went early."
My Father agreed, "Even when I was king, I always had a bad feeling about that pack."
"When we arrived, there were multiple packs there, they were invited for an auction. Riftan was auctioning her off." I said angrily looking at the double doors waiting for the doctor to appear, then I felt Arlo put his hand on my shoulder to tell me to calm down. "He had the packs there basically held hostage."
I looked at my mother who still had tears rolling down her face. " Mom, it might be a coincidence, but she has heterochromia"
My parents gasp at hearing my words. Only one pack had Heterochromia eyes, but they were slaughtered years ago without a trace of who did it. "What colors" my parents said in unison
"Sapphire blue and Silver" I say, continuing looking at the door, getting irritated that the doctor hasn't walked back out yet, my wolf Kade was going crazy, wanting his mate, he was worried and angry.
"Xavier are you sure that's what you saw, cause you're talking about the Lunar Pack, your mother's best friend who was Luna of the pack they were slaughtered eleven years ago today." he said as my mother stood wide eyed not knowing what to do or say.
"Yes, father I know and I'm sure of what I saw, but again it could be a coincidence." I said then the double doors opened. Artemis, our Pack Doctor came out and walked directly over to me. "How is she?" I quickly asked everyone quickly coming to my side.
"We managed to get the bleeding to stop, she has 4 broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder that was put back in place, the gash in the cheek was from sometime early morning and isn't healing." He said and anger started to rage within me, but my mother grabbed my hand and held it to calm me down. "Now the whip marks nearly killed her, they will not heal on their own. Alpha you will have to heal them yourself." He said weary watching me as I was shocked by his words "I said this because the whip must have been made out of silver."
I growled and all, but Arlo cowered, even my own parents flinched at the sound of my growl. Arlo hit my back. "Getting worked up now won't do anything. Let him finish Xavier." Arlo said in my ear. He's lucky enough that he is my best friend.
"Sorry, please continue Artemis." I said in defeat
"She should wake up soon" he says "however only Alpha needs to be in the room when she awakes. She doesn't need to be overwhelmed by everyone in the room."
"Arlo, James you will follow and stand guard at the door. Mom, can you please find her some type of clothing to wear nothing tight please not till I can heal those wounds on her." I ordered everyone. My mother nods and turns to leave with my father at her side.
"Come on I'll show you her room" Artemis says and walks through the doors, I follow him closely behind with Arlo and James at my side.
We approach her room and Artemis opens the door. I walk in, Arlo and James stand at the door. "Ring me when she wakes up." I hear Artemis say.
I look at my mate, asleep, her body covered with a blanket keeping her warm, an IV bag hanging beside her. I make my way to her side quickly pulling a chair beside the bed. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. She's mine...all mine I think to myself, as I grab her hand and hold it.
"Please, wake up soon." I say and I place my head on her hand. I feel her hand twitch, she whimpered
I shot up straight, looking at her with worry. She whimpers again and then her eyes shoot open, and she looks around in panic till her eyes meet with mine and she calms.
"Arlo, Jason" I yell slightly to not scare her. However, she still flinched. They open the door. "Get Artemis, she's awake." I say and I feel them finally relax. They relax over the fact their Luna is okay and awake.
"Yes sir" they said in unison then left.
Rosaline's POVI slowly woke up, groaning and whimpering in pain. What the hell happened, where am I? What am I laying on? I think to myself. Feeling myself on something soft and very comfy. I jolted up, opening my eyes quickly scanning the room quickly breathing heavily. Until I turned and locked eyes with him, I suddenly felt calm. His deep blue eyes staring at me looking worried."Arlo, Jason" he yelled slightly, causing me to flinch and whimper.I watched the door slowly open and standing there were two men both gorgeous, one with tan skin, emerald, green eyes and blonde hair. the other fair skin with black hair and brown eyes. These two may be gorgeous but they don't compare to the man right in front of me. His sapphire eyes locked in with my eyes, his dark hair, the sharp jawline, the muscles... goddess I don't even know how to explain it."Get Artemis, she's awake" he said to them both."Yes sir" they responded in unison and left.Pulling the blanket higher on me. I looked away
Xavier's POV:"Why did you use your calling on her?" Arlo asked, confused. "you're not going to heal her without letting her know, are you?""Hell, no what type of person do you take me for Arlo?" I glared at him. " I used it to make the trip to the castle easier for her. She's still in pain and she can't even walk." I say as I look down at her sleeping peacefully against me."Did you figure out her name?" James asked me as he walked over with a blanket and set it on top of Rosaline."I was only given her first name, which is Rosaline. Which sounds so familiar, but I can't piece it together when I figure out her last name, or what pack she was in." I say looking at her frail skinny body."Pack? I thought she was part of the Red Mark?" James said"I don't think so, Riftan called her a dirty rogue." I got angry at the thought of him saying that."Well let's worry about that later and get back to the castle " Arlo says opening the door, I walk past him walking into the hallway Arlo and J
Xaviers POV:I enter my bed chambers, with Rosaline in my arms. "Little one you will stay in here in my room." I explained to her as I sat her gently on the bed."S-so what are your plans with me?" she asks softly."What do you mean little one?" I ask as i sit next to her. Looking down at her, realizing still covered in blood."Am I to be a servant here?" she asks as I see her tremble.I take my hand and lift her head up towards me. "No, you are to be my Luna, My wife, My mate." I say looking at her, those blue and silver eyes watching me as I speak. I feel her relax when she hears my answer."Really?" she says, she almost sounds happy with what I had said to her."Yes really, little one." I took her hand and kissed the back of it. I felt her flinch slightly as I grabbed her hand, and then she relaxed when I kissed it."You seem nothing like what I heard about." she said softly. I gave her a curious look. "Riftan and others used to talk about how you're a cold blooded killer, a monste
He healed me every single gash gone. Incredible. Looking at him blushing slightly. I then look down to see my naked body still."Let's eat little one, you need something in your system" he says, setting a tray in front of me on it was some chicken and dumpling soup with some toasted bread."B-Before I eat may I have some clothes" I say covering my breasts with my arms.He gets up and walks over to the stack of clothes that was bought, he pulls out a maroon-colored dress and a white bra for me. "As much as I like this view, I guess I'll allow you to get dressed." he smirks as he walks over and hands me the clothes."U-um instead of eating may I please get shower?" I ask sheepishly, looking at my arms still covered in dry blood. "I-if that's too much, a sponge and some water will do." I quickly look away figuring he is going to be mad at me for asking."A sponge and some water? Why would I give you that when it's perfectly fine for you to take a shower, however you will be eating even,
Rosaline's POV:I go quiet after hearing his response. I am torn. I don't know what to do. I continue looking at the floor not knowing what to say to say to him. Feeling his touch sends shivers down my spine as he washes the blood off my skin."May I kiss you?" I whisper, looking down at the ground. Shocked at what I just said. However, there is no turning back now.He stopped scrubbing me, I looked up at him, he was staring at me in shock, as if he didn't believe the words that just came from my mouth."Little one... you don't have to. Do not feel obligated to do something you really don't want to do. Because of what I said to you." he says to me, his blue eyes studying me trying to figure out my next move.I keep looking in his eyes, I know he really wants me to, I can see the lust in his eyes. I've never kissed anyone before, but I really want to. I want to know what it's like. I want to know what it's like to be truly touched by somebody who truly wants me, someone who would do an
Xaviers POV:My mind is fogged, trying to comprehend what just happened in that bathroom just moments ago. I look down at Rosaline in my arms, she covering her face trying to hide the redness of her cheeks. However, it is doing no good, I can see it clear as day.Walking across the room I sit Rosaline down in a chair with her food in front of her."Eat first little one then you may get dressed." I say to her as I walk away to find some clothes so I can quickly get out of these wet clothes.Quickly I get out of my pants and boxers, quickly putting on boxers and a new pair of dress pants. I then feel like I'm being watched by a little wolf who should be eating, I throw on my dark blue-collar shirt and turn around.Her blue and silver eyes watching me carefully, she gasps and quickly looks down, knowing that I just caught her staring at me and who knows how long she was staring. I smirk at her."What is it? Wolf got your tongue?" I say to her teasingly, just can't help myself, teasing he
Running. I'm running through the woods, giggling and laughing, I'm a small child again. I suddenly heard the warriors of the pack howl. Knowing this call I started to run back to the pack house. Trying to make sure I'm not seen. I hide behind a bush as I hear wolves fighting. I peek out from behind the bush, most of the wolves were red covered in blood. I see my father beta. He was surrounded by three wolves. They all pounced on him, tearing him apart. I gasp, tears running down my face."Mommy, where are you?" I tried to mind link her.I took off running again so those wolves wouldn't see me. I suddenly hear a blood curdling scream."Mommy" I yelled as I ran towards the scream, as I approached this man had my father in his grip."Please Riftan it doesn't have to go like this, please spare my wife please" my father pleaded with the man, but it was no use the man roared and tore my father's head clean off his body.I scream and run towards my mother, afraid not knowing any better. The
Rosaline's POV"Rosaline Campton, your mother called you Rose" Xaviers says to meI stagger backwards, wide-eyed. Has he known this entire time? Is he just using me? "How do you know my Nickname?" I growled, taking a step at him "How do you know who I am?"Xavier puts his hand up, "Hold on little one. We had a feeling it was you. You have the same eyes as your mom Rebecca, and the same color hair has your dad Jaxon"I growl more hearing my parent's names. "Don't talk like you know them." I snapped at him, tears starting to roll down my face."Rosaline, do you really not remember anything before your family was killed?" he asks, looking at me with the saddest eyes.I shake my head in response. "No, I don't." I say, not realizing the tears rolling down my face. Then the door to the room opened. I avert my eyes to the door growling.In walks two people, they look oddly familiar to me, but I don't know why they do. A tall male, who Xavier resembled quite a bit. A woman, who was about my h
