Stronger in a pack

Mates?

"Mommy, mommy, wake up?" I hear Kenzie say while shaking me. I try to open my eyes but they are just too heavy.

The next time I wake up I am able to open my eyes. I blink a couple times due to the bright light but they soon get adjusted. I look around the room and I see Kenzie sleeping on a couch across the room and a guy sleeping in a chair beside the bed, who happens to be holding my hand. I quickly snatch my hand back causing him to wake up.

"What the..." He yells and then his blue eyes snap to mine. "Your up." He says with a great big smile. When he yelled he must of woke Kenzie up because she is crying and then runs over to me.

"Shh baby don't cry." I coo at her and she puts her head in my neck.

"I missed you." She cries into my neck.

"I know baby but I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere." I say and soon she stops crying. I hastily look up at the guy sitting by my bed side. He was watching us but his eyes snap to mine making me quickly look away. "So what did you do while I was sleeping?"

"I watched tv, and I drew you a picture want to see?" She asks excitedly.

"Sure." I say and she squeals and then runs over to the table across the room. She gathers up some papers and brings them back.

"Look mommy there is me and you on a boat." She says pointing to the two people on the page.

"That looks really nice baby." I say just as a girl about my age walks into the room.

"Hey Kenzie how about you come with me and help me make some supper for you and your mommy." She says and Kenzie runs over and holds her hand.

"Ok Jenny, mommy I'll be back." She says before she pulls the girl out of the room.

"She sure is cute." The guy beside me says. He then reaches a hand out to touch me but I quickly move away and towards the wall on the other side of the room, ripping out my IV in the process.

"S...stay away f...from me." I say as I back up into the wall. I slid down the wall and pulled my knees up to my chest and rest my head on my arms. I can feel the blood running down my hand.

"I'm not going to hurt you, your bleeding let me help you." He says stepping towards me.

"N..no...please." I says trying to press into the wall. I hear him take a deep breath and then walk away. I don't move and after a while I think he leaves but I feel something brushing my hand and arm. I look up and I see him wiping the blood off of me. "What are you doing?" I ask him.

"Cleaning you up." He says as he wipes the last of the blood off my hand. He then opens a band aid and puts it on the cut.

"Why are you being so nice?" I ask him.

"Because I'm your mate." He says as if it's obvious.

"W..what's as m..mate." I ask him still shaking a little bit. He sighs and then sits down in front of me not touching me.

"A mate is a soul mate. It's the person who we are meant to be with for the rest of our lives. All wolfs have them."

"So..your my mate how do you know?"

"I know because when I smelt your sent it drove my wolf crazy and when I saw you I knew your the only one who could make me happy and when I touch you I feel sparks."

"How come I don't feel the sparks."I ask.

"Well the doctor said that since your were locked up that your wolf is almost gone." He says sadly.

"T..then why do you w..want me?"

"I want you because you are my mate no matter what. From the moment I saw you I knew that you were the one for me." He says and then a girl in a white coat comes in the room.
