Marine Baby

Chapter Fifteen... Justin

Dedicated to @Gabriella_Lancaster 

Justin's POV

It has been three agonizing weeks since Jules left me. I don't know how she did it. It almost killed me to watch her board that plane. To know she was going to be on a mission and I am not suppose to know where. How absolutely frustrating to be a mate to her! Ok so I am not so mad at her but at myself. I don't blame her choosing Ryan. He was there to pick up the pieces of the mess I made. If I didn't hate him I would like him. I will admit he is good to her and probably for her. I know I wasn't. I ran when I couldn't figure out what to do. I regret that decision every single day.

Speaking of days it's time I get out of this bed. I haven't felt very well this past week. My stomach hurts really bad at night. Cramping is the best way to describe it. Then I am exhausted during the day because I am up all night with this pain. I have no idea what's going on, werewolves don't get sick. Unless. Unless there mate is! Holy shit! How stupid can I get sometimes. I need to find out if Jules is ok. It has to be her. Out bond didn't break all the way, there must be something wrong with her.

Getting out of bed with a goal to find out what's wrong with my mate, I head to my office. I dial an all too familiar number, Jules dad, and wait for him to pick up.

"Hello."

"Hey. It's me. Have you heard from Jules lately?" I asked. I know not very polite. I didn't even introduce myself but he understands.

"Not since she as shipped to California for training. Why what's wrong?

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you. I'm sure it's nothing. But if you hear from her can you call me please?" I beg. How pathetic. An Alpha who begs to hear about his mate. But I would do anything for her.

"No problem, Justin. I'll call her now to check in. She left me a number for her CO. I'll let you know as soon as I hear from her."

"Thank you, sir. I appreciate it."

I hung up the phone and watched it. Willing it to ring to know she is ok.

With my head in my hands I lean on my desk praying she is alright. I don't know how I am going to do this. She's so far away and she is with someone else.... Because of me. I am a total screw up. I don't want to long for her every single day of my life. Why does she get a second chance at love and I have to be tortured! Why do I have to watch my mate live a happy life while I beg for scraps!

There's a knock on my door to break me from my self pity party.

"Come in."

My beta and best friend is standing at the door looking at me with concern. Ok so I haven't had the best of days since Jules left, so sue me.

"Are you going to stare at me or are you going to tell me why the hell you came here!"

"Sorry Alpha" he answered lowering his eyes. Man can I be more of a prick?

"Sorry dude. What did you need?" I tried to soften my voice so I didn't sound so angry.

"There is a Rogue. Just crossed our borders. I brought her here. She is in the infirmary." He said each sentence softer until he was barely whispering at the end. 

Standing up in a hurry and trying to control my rage I stalk up to my Beta. "What the hell are you thinking bringing a rogue into the pack house? They could hurt a pack member or do you just not care about them anymore?"

He lowered his head when he answered "She is badly beaten. Almost broken Alpha. I couldn't leave her there. Even if I wanted to, my wolf would not have it. She is special."
