Mine

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.
