Be Mine?

Chapter 12

Everett's POV -after Alison left-

I sigh and quickly get up from my bed. I can't just sit around being completely useless. Relying on my other senses I make my way out of the hospital and begin on the familiar path to my office.

But after a few minutes of concentrating on not running into anything, something runs into me. A small petite figure smashes into me. Mate.

I immediately wrap my arms tightly around her, bringing her to my chest.

"Couldn't stay away, huh?" I wink down in her direction and smile. She stutters for a while, not knowing what to say before finally speaking.

"I'm so confused about everything." At this point she remembered that she's supposed to hate me and tries pushing my arms away from her, causing me to crush her closer to me. "And I was hoping you'd be of help.." Sighing, she gives up and just let's me hold her.

Happiness fills me and I nudge her gently. "Mate." My wolf begins to purr and I loosen my grip on her, remembering that she's still frail. "I'd love to help you."

I take a step away and reach my hand out. She hesitates before placing her hand in mine and I begin tugging her towards my office.

She follows a step behind me timidly. I run my hand across the large oak door until my fingers feel the cool brass knob and turn it. I drop her hand and walk in, sitting behind my desk and silently listening for her movements.

She cautiously steps into the room and then she bravely steps up to my desk, demanding answers.

"Woah, woah, woah, slow down there, beautiful. I may have super hearing but that doesn't mean I'll be able to remember all your questions. One at a time, little mate."

Slowly, she sits down in one of the chairs across from my desk. "What's your name..? And rank..?"

"My name is Everett Zachary Daniels and I'll be alpha of this pack once we mate."

"We're really mates..?" I gesture for her to stand next to me and she obliges. Then I grab her hand gently and trails my fingers across it before placing a kiss on each finger. She shudders and I know she can feel the sparks that my touch gave her, with a clear mind for once.

"You're my luna. I'll protect you until the day I die. You've become my everything. You're my mate." I look up in her direction waiting for her response.

She takes a shaky breath and pulls her hand away. "Where are we? What if I'm not a good luna? How did you find me? Where's my brother?"

"We're in northern California. You'll be a great luna. Rogues entered my- our pack and I followed them. You were the only one in that cabin.. You have a brother?"

I hear her take another deep breath and then I smell the salt of her tears. I reach foward and wipe them off her cheeks, slowly pulling her forward and into my lap. "What did they do to him..?" She whimpers and sits in my lap with her hands in her own.

I reach for her hands and hold them in both of mine. "I will find your brother, little mate. I promise you." I nuzzle her and bring her close. She sniffles a few times and then, to my surprise, she wraps her arms around my neck, holding me as well.
