Facing My Mates

Chapter 13

Tyson's POV

"What is wrong with her?!" I growled to my pack doctor. "I'm her mate, I should be helping her, not hurting her."

The doctor held up shaky hands and backed up a step. "I-I don't know, Alpha. She's in heat, and since she's your mate, you should be helping her through it. But instead, you're making it worse."

I growled at his words and he flinched. "What do you mean," I snapped at him.

"I'm not sure, Alpha. I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Do...do you mind if I take a closer look at her?"

I narrowed my eyes at him, but nodded. I want my mate to get back to normal. The doctor stepped closer to my bed that Haley was laying in. He poked at her and prodded around for a minute before he turned back to me. "Can I have a minute with her, Alpha? Alone? I swear that I won't hurt a hair on her body. All I will do is see what the problem is with her."

I breathed heavily and considered it. "You swear that you won't hurt her?" The doctor nodded. "You've got thirty minutes."

"Thank you, Alpha."

I stormed out of my room and sat down right next to the door, so that if anything happened, I would be right here and get Haley out of harm's way. I pulled out my phone and set a timer for thirty minutes. I kept an eye on the timer as it slowly counted down.

When ten minutes had passed, I put the phone away and leaned my head on the wall. I heard about four pairs of footsteps making their way towards me, so I stood up and turned so I could see them as the came.Samantha, Lisa, Henry, and Oliver rounded the corner with worried expressions on their faces.

"How is she? Is she doing alright?!" Samantha asked.

"What happened to her? Will she be okay?" Lisa panted.

Henry and Oliver opened their mouth's to say something too, but I held up a hand to silence them. "I...I think that she will be okay. The doctor is checking up on her as we speak, so I will know of her condition in about..." I pulled out my phone and checked the timer. "About fifteen minutes."

They all nodded their heads and walked away, but Henry stopped when he got to be about five paces away from me. "When you know, will you tell us?"

I growled a warning at him. "She's my mate. What's she to you?"

"Alpha, my apologies. But she's been my best friend for the longest time. I think of her like a sister. So, will you tell us when you find out?"

I gave him a curt nod and told him to do something useful. When he was out of sight, I fell to the floor once again and ran my hands through my matted hair. The next little while passed by in a blur, and the next thing I know, I'm being woken up by my timer going off. 

I shot up and went back into my room. The doctor, Mark, I think his name was, was by the bed with lots of medical equipment set up. "What is this for?" I questioned, gesturing towards the equipment.

"I had to run some tests on her. I hope that's okay, Alpha."

"As long as she gets better. So, what did you find out."

Mark picked up a laptop and went sat down. He motioned for me to come closer and I complied. "Have you ever heard of the Double Curse?"

Shaking my head, I said, "No, what is it?"

"Well, there's a she-wolf and she has two mates. It's why its the 'double curse.' Anyways, the two packs get into a big war because of the she-wolf and eventually, one pack annihilates the other. But, the winning pack only won because the she-wolf. The she-wolf is mates with those two alpha's of the packs. The winning pack won because the she-wolf chose that mate instead of the other. So, the now mate-less alpha lost the war and got annihilated. It turns out that Haley, over here, is that she-wolf and you are one of the mates."

"Who's the other mate?!" I growled, clenching my fists. I will kill whoever the other mate is. Haley is mine, not his!

"Haven't you guessed? It's Alpha Davy."

"I'm going to kill him."

"You can't do that, Alpha. If you kill Alpha Davy, you will end up killing Haley too."

"Why?! Why would I kill her?!" I roared.

"Because she's already chosen a mate. That's why she's been responding to you the way she has. She chose Davy."

Davy's POV

"Davy, do you know what you're going to do?"

"Yes, father. I know exactly what to do."

"Then gather up your best men and go save her, son!"

"Yes, sir!"

I went into the mind-link and called my thirty best warriors to meet me in front of the pack house. I ran to my room and grabbed a pair of shorts and made my way to the pack house. When I got there, about twenty three of the men I called were there. 

"Where are the others?"

One of the men stepped forward with a weary look from the others. "They're dead, Alpha."

I cursed and told seventeen others to come over here. The men looked at each other with curiosity, and the same man as before stepped forward again.

"What did you need us for, Alpha?"

"You will know when the others get here."

He nodded and stepped back in line with the others. When three minutes had passed, the other seventeen men came up and stood in line.

"Alright, men! Now that you are all here, I am going to tell you what has happened. I expect you all to remain quiet when I tell you this news."

"Yes, Alpha," they all chorused. 

"I have found my mate, but she's been captured," I reveal. I hear nothing from the men, but I see worry cross through their eyes. "We are going on a rescue mission to get her back. Now follow me!"
