I was still angry and frustrated but I had to get back home to my mate. I could already see from a distance how the pack members were whispering to each other and guessing what had happened today. One angry growl shut their mouths and they all moved out of my way.

I marched towards my room and saw Asher outside my room.

"Everything all right?" Asher asked when I was with him.

"Yeah. My mate has been through a lot and suffered so much.. I needed to be alone for a while. How did the transfer go?" I asked.

"It went well and he's fine although he's condition makes me sad." Asher answered sadly until he grinned.

"I have to say you are one lucky bastard. Now that all the dirt is gone he is a joy to look at even with his wounds, downright beautiful."

"Careful Asher, related or not I will not hesitate to end you if you think or act inappropriately towards my mate." I growled and my eyes flashed because Kane didn't like it when someone else was paying attention to our mate.

Asher's eyes widened until he burst into loud laughter and it took a long time before he calmed down. I glared at him, idiot.

"Oh come on! Stop sulking. I was just saying what anyone can see. Besides my only interest is in Victoria." Asher said, looking like a lovesick puppy again.

"What about the girl?"

"Hmmh? Oh Hazel. She's in the nearest guest room, she doesn't want to be far from the two of you. I think she fell asleep when she got to a proper bed." Asher replied.

"You can go. I'll let you know if I need you." I said and was about to enter the room when I turned to look at him again.

"And thank you Asher. For taking care of my mate." I said sincerely. I'm glad I have him and I can trust him.

Asher smiled widely and I know how happy he gets from the praise. I don't share them very often.

"Of course, anytime. Spend as much time with him as you like. I'll take care of the pack." He replied and started walking away.

The first thing I noticed when I entered my room was the intoxicating smell. A shiver ran through me, I will never get tired of my mate's scent. Kane was silent and waited anxiously for us to see our mate properly now.

I walked quietly towards the bed. My heart was beating wildly and I found myself holding my breath. And holy hell Asher was right. My mate is breathtaking.

Despite all the cuts and bruises he's gorgeous. His hair is not light brown or blonde as I thought before but it is pure white. He has a graceful nose and perfect lips.

I adored my mate like a fool but I can't help it, I want to remember every detail about him. The doctor said he's half elf. Well that explains the pointy ears and white hair. I don't know much about elves but he's perfect.

I suddenly became ashamed of my appearance. I've never cared what others think about my scarred face or my short temper, but now I fear that they will drive my mate away from me.

"Don't be stupid! We can improve our temper, I can already feel calmer now that we've met him. And your face.. I don't know if it would improve even without the scar." Kane snickered.

"Wow. I feel so much better now thanks." I replied sarcastically.

"You're welcome!" Kane disappeared laughing somewhere in my mind and I decided to block him for a while. I'm so used to his angry nature that this kind of behavior is quite strange.

Back to my mate. He looks so small in my big bed. I can't wait for him to feel better. I sighed and wished he would wake up soon, I want to know his name. I moved the chair next to the bed and just sat next to him.

Soon however fatigue began to set in and I laid my head on the bed. The smell of my mate and the sound of his breathing lulled me to sleep.

Three days and my mate still hasn't woken up. The doctor said he is not in a coma, but because his body has been so stressed he is just sleeping.

I just came back from training and headed for a cold shower. Even if I don't want to leave my mate alone even for a moment, I can't slip away from my duties as Alpha. Both me and the pack need to stay in good shape if we want to remain one of the strongest packs. I turned on the faucet and let the cold water wash away all the sweat and dirt.

My breathing stopped for a moment because of the cold water but soon I relaxed and got lost in my thoughts.

During these days I have been in contact with the council and demanded punishment for Alpha Gregor and all those who have contributed to my mate's suffering. I will make an appointment with them as soon as my mate is better.

We also noticed a change in my mate's recovery this morning which gives us hope that his wolf is alive.

After showering I put on something casual and started working. I had to move my laptop and paperwork to my room because I couldn't concentrate when I was only thinking about my mate.

After a couple of hours my eyes hurt and I decided to take a break from work. I stood up and stretched and as I turned to check on my mate I froze in place and my heart skipped a beat.

Big violet eyes stared right into my soul.

We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity until Kane growled at me to do something and not just stand there like an idiot.

I tried to relax and smiled a little. I don't know his name so the nickname will do for now.

"Hello little one."
