Innocent Little Runt

Chapter 6

read the rewrite 'Celestial Bodies: Of Runts and Lycans' on my profile now!!

"What do you mean?" I growled out. My wolf was on edge, meaning it was harder for me to control him.

"We don't have a runt in our pack and I've never treated a human before. I don't know how to treat this Alpha, I'm very sorry." Her words were quiet and her voice almost wavered. She was scared.

"Then what can we do?" I looked over at my mate. Her long hair was splayed around her as she kept moving her head from side to side. I wanted her to open her eyes, but I knew she was asleep.

"Let her rest and hope that she will be okay by the time that the new moon in no longer in the sky. I'm sorry Alpha. I can try to make sure her temperature stays down and I can treat her cut to the best of my ability but that's all." I looked down at the white and blue tiled ground, thinking of how Celeste will be fine. Thinking of how in three days, I can actually enjoy having a mate, because so far it hasn't exactly been the fucking fairy tail that everyone expects it to be.

I took a deep breath in and nodded. "That is fine, thank you Zay. I'm going to have her in my room instead of in here. I want her to be near me and be as comfortable as possible. You can come and check on her at any moment, just don't barge right in. My wolf is already on edge, and I don't want to attack you." She nodded.

I gently picked up my mate and cradled her to my chest. She snuggled her head into my shoulder and it made me realize how warm her forehead was. I sighed as I walked over to the bed where one of the ice packs were and put it on her forehead. She sighed and I saw Zay, in the corner of my eye, looking at her in worry and yet with joy- all at the same time.

I left Zay's office and walked back upstairs to my room, being careful of my fragile mate. As soon as I get to my room I set Celeste down on my bed. I quickly step out of my jeans and take off my shirt. I grab Celeste and a slight moan like sound leaves her lips and I stiffen, pushing down my wolf. I pull the covers up and slip under them, gently pulling Celeste to my side. The same sound left her lips and I pushed my wolf down with a struggle.

I sighed in frustration and grabbed the ice pack, which had fallen off of Celeste's head, and put it on Celeste's forehead. She sighed in content and her breaths evened out. She was asleep. I sighed peacefully and fell asleep.

I woke up to a sound of whining, my wolf immediately going on alert. My eyes shot up and I saw Celeste. Her breathing was heavy and uneven. There was sweat on her forehead. I sighed and picked her up in my arms bridal style.

I didn't care that I was only in my boxers, I just wanted for Celeste to be okay. So I walked down stairs and went to Zay's office. When I walked and saw her I sighed in relief. Thank the goddess that she was awake because it was around four in the morning.

"Zay." Her head snapped up to me. She took in Celeste's form in my arm. Her breathing was harsh, sweat on her forehead, and she kept moving her head from side to side as if she was trying to avoid someone whispering in her ears. Zay nodded in understanding.

"Lay her down please." I walked over to the bed that was in her office and set Celeste down. I looked down at the tiles on the floor as I tried to ignore the whimpers that kept leaving my little mate. I eventually sat down next to Celeste and held her hand while Zay tried to clean out the cut that was on Celeste's leg.

"Alpha." I snapped my head up. "It seems that the infection got close to when her leg is sprained." I sighed inn frustration.

"Is there anything you can do? Please Zay." She looked lost in thought for a minute.
