Tell Me What You See

Chapter 28

Carter's POV

"What do you mean? They're your mate?" I ask angrily. "It's not a very funny joke, Joseph." I tell him.

"I'm not joking, the kid, hopefully a boy, is my mate." He tells me seriously.

"You are just saying this, so I won't kill you." I accuse, going toward him, and I grip his throat tightly.

He looks at me, panicking slight, he tries to shake his head, and I let him go when he starts to go pale.

He tries to catch his breath, and I see that he wants to say something.

"It's not true, please think about the child, what will you tell them when they won't find their mate." He asks me.

"Second hand mates are a think, you know." I tell him.

"It's not the same." He say.

"How do you know that the kid is your mate?" I ask.

"My friend, he's a guard, he came to give us our meal a few days ago, and he has few scents on him, one of the scants belonged to an unborn kid." He starts.

"And I quickly realised that the unborn child is my mate, and I assumed it was yours since I could smell you and Timmy on the guard too." He explains.

"Carter, you can keep me locked, just please don't kill me, think about the child. Keep me alive until the child is old enough to know that I'm their mate and if they won't confirm it, then you can kill me. Deal?" He asks.

"I'll think about it, I have to discuss it with Timmy." I tell him before forcing him to stand up, and I lead him back towards the cells.

"By the way. How did you get out?" I ask.

"Magic." He says, and I look at him, unimpressed.

"I convinced my friend to let me go, he's the guard." He reminds me, and I hit the back of his head angrily, before pushing his back to make him walk faster, I can't wait to see this guard.

When we reach the basement door, I try to force him to tell me which guard helped him, but he refuses, so I just toss him into his cell angrily, deciding that I will find out myself.

I go to the guards, and look at them both expectantly.

"I'm sorry Alpha, he had something important to take care off, and I followed him all the way, to make sure that he wouldn't hurt anyone." One of the guards says.

"I will take care of you later, for now get out of here, you will not guard this door anymore, and I will reconsider if you deserve the title of a guard." I say sternly, and he nods his head quickly, before going up the stairs.

I look at the other guard, and he bow his head.

"I didn't know anything about it, I just came here a few minutes ago, my shift just started." He says.

I nod, before I walk up the basement stairs, and I go towards the otter stairs  so I can get to my apartment.

When I walk in, I can see that Timmy is still on the couch, but he has fallen asleep, so I pick him up and I carry him to our bed, before getting in after him, and I quickly fall asleep.
