Chapter 6

Derek pov

My dad walks in and smiles after sniffing the air.

"You marked her congrats son",he said sitting down our food. I just nod cause I know it made him happy but I'm still not over Ellie.

"yeah she was dying I had no choice. Her weight is down and they don't know why",I added gently, shaking her awake. She yawned and whimpered softly.

"Anna, wake up little one, our food is here",I said softly in her ear. She whimpered and sat up rubbing her eyes. That was cute. My wolf whispered as she sat up trying to fix her hair, embarrassed that my dad was watching her wake up.

"hi alpha sorry I didn't know you were here. Thanks for the food",she said weakly. I took it out of the bags and tried to coax her to eat. She took small bites and didn't eat as much as I wanted but she ate. I sat a chocolate shake in front of her and she sipped on it before pushing it away. What the hell? How is she even alive? We are werewolves and we eat a lot. I sigh as she says sorry again.

"I'm full, I'm sorry",she said, looking away from us. Does she ever fucking eat?

"You did good, child , we will work on it",my dad said, trying to lighten the mood. Anna nodded and laid down, yawning. She promptly fell asleep and we chuckled. Fuck that is cute too.

"You're starting to care for her",my dad said, looking at her with a soft look. He had a soft spot for her and I tried to get him to like Ellie he never did and often told me to get her out of his sight.

"yeah I guess",I muttered while eating my food and the rest of hers. I drank my shake and hers before clearing up the mess and heading to the bathroom. I used it, cleaned up and came out to find my dad tucking her in. He looked at her sadly as he brushed her hair from her face. He looked so sad as he fixed her blanket and gently brushed her hair back. What the fuck?

"she is a sweet person son and I just wish you would love her like she deserves",he adds before leaving us alone. I got in with Anna and pulled her to me for body heat. She was shivering again so I was warming her up.

After sleeping I woke her to go bathe which I of course did cause she was still weak. Looking at her body I felt guilt eat at me. You did this my wolf growled fucking look at her. Ribs sticking out and weakness all because of you Derek your a fucking douchebag he says cutting off communication.

Anna was so thin but still beautiful. Her chest was perfect and I found my eyes trailing to those perfect round globes. Leaning down I kiss around each nipple before sucking on them. She arched and moaned my name, making me hard and horny. I pulled back watching her flushed face as I leaned down and licked her mark. Damn so responsive I groan.

What the fuck am I doing I think quickly pulling away from her neck. She whimpered sadly at the loss but took over cleaning her body. She washed her hair and sat in the tub soaking. I know she loved the warm water due to her having trouble keeping warm herself.

"I'm sorry Anna I shouldn't have done that",I said watching her look up at me. Her face registered hurt before it was masked with a blank look. She just kept a blank look but I know I hurt her.

"It's fine, can you give me a few minutes alone?",she asked rinsing out the conditioner. She wanted to soak without me this can give me time to clean up her room. Get the bigger bed for us and a bigger television.

I went out and had pack members bring us a bigger bed and TV in. The doctor wasn't going to release her until her weight improved. I knock on the door but she doesn't respond so I go in and what I see breaks my heart. Anna is crying in the tub, her knees drawn up and her face buried in them. Her little body is shaking as I quickly grab a towel and pick her up. She fights at first till I talk.

"shh little one it's okay. It is me calm down",I soothe in her ear softly.

"no it's not nothing is okay everything is so messed up. You should just let me die when you had the chance"she sobbed out. I just held her as she fell apart. I gently dry her and wrap her up in my arms. Anna was a complete mess and nothing I did helped. I dressed her and carried her out to bed. Placing her in the bigger softer bed I covered her up and locked our door. Stripping down I crawled in and gathered her close to me and held her. All she did was sob and nothing worked. I put her through more than most wolves can handle and I knew she would break down soon.

At that moment I regretted all the shit I put her through. Holding her tighter I sighed hating myself for all her pain. She fell asleep and I laid awake thinking. Fuck I really messed up and I doubt she will believe me about caring about her.

I really needed to give myself to her but I felt held back cause Ellie was my first love and I wasn't over her yet. I still wanted Ellie and I knew I shouldn't. I need to give my whole self to Anna.

She was shivering so I placed her on top of my body. She barely weighed anything and that concerned me. I kissed her head and smelled her and I felt my cock harden.

I needed to get over Ellie and I'm hoping I can fall for my mate.

I'm hoping my mate can forgive me for all the shit I put her through. She was so little and her weight scared me she was very light and I knew then the lack of eating was my fault I did this to her.

I covered her shivering little body up and held her tight. I just hoped I could fix this and Anna would be okay. I sighed as my cock stayed hard as hell under her little body.

Fuck have I ever been this rock hard before.
