The Alpha's Mate

18.

*Chapter 18*

Walking towards Ariana's hospital room I couldn't help but worry about the upcoming war that Christian had made. I should have never told Ariana about the arrangment.

Ariana laid in the hospital bed, her eyes were open, though she didn't seem like she was very awake but she gave me a slight smile as I walked through the door.

"Hi" I smiled at her. "You okay?"
Ariana nodded slowly in reply to my question.

Christian came in smiling at us. He gave my lips a quick peck, before kissing Ariana's cheek. He sat down on the chair beside the bed, then took my hand and pulled be down to sit on his lap. He buried his nose in my hair, sniffing it which made me giggle and push him slightly away. He growled and held me tighter, making me giggle even more.

"You're cute" Ariana croaked out, her voice breaking as she spoke.

I blushed and Christian didn't seem faced as he continued what he was doing.

"Hey, why did Alpha Wilder seem so distant?" I asked as I turned towards Christian. He sighed, but answered me still;

"His mate was taken from him a few months back"

"What? Oh my god, where is she?"

"We don't know, he's been looking for her, but she's nowhere to be found" Christian said.

"Then they should try harder, get help from more packs. Ours included" I told him standind up. Christian took my hands in his, and looked me in the eyes.

"They're doing the best they can, we are trying to help, though it's not easy to find her. Especially when she is what she is"

"What do you mean? What is she?" I asked him quietly.

"She's a hunter. She was originally there to kill him and his pack. Then she told him and left, or got kidnapped. There's no trace of her anywhere. It's like she's gone into thin air" Christian spoke.

"She seemed cool" croaked Ariana and smiled weakly at us.

"She can't just dissapear"

"We don't know, and in addition, not many packs wants to help a hunter"

I sighed and slumped back onto Christian's lap. "What was her name?" I asked.

"Alexandria. Well, that's most likely an undercover name. She left a note, and she signed it as Kara."

I nodded my head. Poor girl, what has happened to her?

"I'm sure we'll find her sometime" I said. It was mostly to assure myself, I mean, a girl can't just dissapear.

"Come here" Christian said whilst opening his arms and motioning for me to sit down on his lap. I blushed again, though I still walked towards him.

"What are we going to do? We can't let them just attack our innocent pack-members" I said sitting down.

"We're going to take them down. That's what" Ariana piped in. She coughed and groaned at the pain speaking brought to her.

"How?" I asked.

"Don't worry your pretty little heads about that now" Christian said and kissed the back of my head lightly. He laid one of his hands in Ariana's and smiled at her.

"Don't you dare say something like that to me again. I deserve to know everything just as much as you do" I told him as I turned around on his lap end tapped his nose with the tip of my finger. He growled playfully and snapped his mouth at my finger, gracing the tips with his teeth.

"Please continue your kinkyness in a private room" Ariana spoke making Christian laugh wholeheartedly. I blushed again, I'm sure my cheeks were coloured crimson

"Oh trust me, we will" Christian told her and I slapped his chest.

"Oh trust me, we will not" I said emphasizing some of the words. Ariana laughed at my comment and shook her head. She still seemed weak, though she was so much better then what she was earlier.

*2 weeks later*

Weaks passed and nothing seemed to happen. Ariana had gotten much better and she was out of the hospital earlier this week. Christmas was coming closer, only three weaks left until Christmas eve.

Mine and Christian's relationship had improved so much through the weaks, and he had even given me a promise ring. He gave it to me just last night, right before a dinner with my real family and a few other packs whom would be standing on our side during the fight. Christian had surprised me by letting me almost wash the ring while it was in his jean pocket. He had come in frustrated and panicked, seeing me with his jeans in my hand. He had ripped it out of my hands, frantically searching the pockets before letting out a breath of relief once his fingers came in contact with the small box.

Christian had taken my hand with one of his, his other dropping the jeans on the floor, only caring about the black box.

"This is a promise ring" He had spoken, drawing every ounce of breath out of me as he managed to open the box with only one hand, letting the other hand continue to hold mine as his thumb caressed the space between my thumb and pointy finger. "A promise that I will always care about you, I will always love you, I will sacrifice my life for you, but I will do everything in my power to live the rest of my life with you. I love you"

Tears had gathered in my eyes when he had held his speech. "I love you too" I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. Christian had fumbled so much with the small box that I ended up taking it from him, taking the ring out and placed it on my ringfinger. I smiled at him, whispering the words again before winding my hand up on the back of his neck, kissing his lips lightly and smiling big at him again.

That was the best day of my life.
