My Mate, Charlie

E I G H T

Declan

Its been exactly 9 hours since I last saw Charlie and my wolf and I were already dying to see her again. I missed the way she smelt, how her big grayish blue eyes shinned under the florescent lights, how her hair framed her perfect round face, and most of all the way her cute cheeks would turn a beautiful rosy shade. God, I barely met this girl and she already had me whipped.

"Alpha," Markus, my Gamma, knocked on my door peeking his head through.

"Yes," I grunt, slightly agitated I couldn't see my mate.

"We tried contacting you, but your mind link was blocked."

"Well, spit it out, what is it?" Markus sighs heavily, running his hand through his fairly long hair.

"Rouges." In just one word my wolf took charge. He was pissed that there was a sighting of rouge, especially after his mate just moved in dangerously close to the boarder.

Shifting just as I stepped out into the back porch I let Markus take the lead guiding me to where the rouge was sited. I let out a deep growl as the harsh scent of the rouge hit me. The bastard made it into my territory!

How did you let a rouge slip through my land!

I snapped at Markus lightly snipping at his hind leg. He let out a whelp, his wolf whimpering in submission.

I'm sorry Alpha! At first the rouge smelt like a human then suddenly he shifted and his scent was revealed!

I let out another harsh snarl, following the sickening trail the rouge left behind. The further we ran into the woods as weird sense of deja vu come over me. Why do I feel like I've done this before?

Alpha here!

Looking over I see the little cottage my mate moved into. Oh fuck no.

Just beyond the trees I could see the skinny little rouge creep up to the front door using his mouth to easily open the door. Suddenly, all I saw was red.

Letting out a loud growl I leap forward ramming right into the rouge sending him flying into a tree with a satisfying crack. But I wasn't done there. He dared to come this close to my mate!

Even though the rouges body was unmoving I sunk my teeth into his neck chewing out a large chunk of meat from his neck, blood spurting everywhere as I chewed into his jugular. In my head I knew he was dead for sure, but my wolf craved his blood. In seconds my wolf had torn the rouge's body into shreds, his limbs scattering the forest floor.

Alpha...Alpha stop! The human may see!

At the mention of a human my wolf snaps out of his blood crazed state allowing me to shift back, the feeling of blood dripping down my body nothing new to me. Grumbling, I quickly spin around heading toward my mate's open door. The fact a rouge so easily opened it and the fact he was heading for her! It made me want to kill that son of a bitch all over again. The only thing keeping me calm was the overwhelming smell of my mates scent.

Waltzing my way right in I look around frantically trying to find any signs of disruption. Instead of finding my worst nightmare, I see my beautiful mate completely passed out at her tiny dining table a bowl of mac n cheese in front of her and the spoon hanging out of her mouth. The only thing keeping her from going face first into her food was her arm she rested her head on. I couldn't help but wish I had my phone on me to snap this priceless moment.

She's so adorable.

Letting out a small chuckle I go the sink trying to clean the blood off my chest and arms. Looking behind me I notice I let in a trail of blood. Groaning in annoyance I take a rag and drag it across the floor quickly cleaning it. Just as I finished my third in command appeared in front of my mate's door.

Alpha-

Burn the body of the rouge and clean up the blood, and burn this rag too. The threw the rag outside watching it land next to the what remained of the rouge. Just looking at the disgusting thing made me want to go on another killing spree.

But I had a mate to tend to.

MarkusQ quickly followed my orders leaving me alone with my sleeping Charlie. I can't wait for the day I can wake up to her in my arms. But that time will have to wait, hopefully not too long.

I thought back to the note I gave her and searched around the room for it wondering where it was. With my sharp eye sight I was able to see it on the floor next to the couch. Frowning, I go to pick it up, still folded exactly the way I had it. Opening it up I lay flat on the table, just so she can see it. Desperate, I know. But I have to do this the old fashion way, she's only a human and I doubt she's even felt the pull yet. It'll take more of her seeing me and being around me to feel it. I only hope she'll be willing to see me again.

Glancing back over my shoulder to my mate, I see her still silently sleeping. Smiling once again, I walk over, moving the bowl and spoon to the sink and cleaning the fallen macaroni. Gently as I could I gather my tiny mate into my arms. Nearly groaning in pleasure I stopped myself from holding too tight, I couldn't risk her waking up and seeing a man she barely knew holding her in his arms, stark naked. Breathing heavily, I go to where her room should be to place her in bed, but when I walk in I see there is no bed. Frowning deeply I look around.

All her stuff was here so where is her bed? Does she not have one! Swallowing a growl I look around the house and notice the covers draped over the couch and fallen pillow. She's been sleeping on the couch?

No mate of mine should be sleeping on the couch, she belongs on the world's most comfortable bed.

Silently agreeing with my wolf I reluctantly place her back on the couch, tucking the blankets around her. I was so tempted to just kiss her soft lips but I knew if I started I wouldn't be able to stop. Letting out a tiny breath, I brush my hand over her slightly chubby cheeks admiring the way her long lashes rested peacefully on her cheeks, and how her plumb full lips are slightly parted as tiny almost silent snores escape.

Alpha, we have a lead on how the rouge entered.

Pulling myself quickly back, I feel my sharp nails elongate as my wolf came to the surface. In one swift motion I jump over the couch soundlessly and shift in my grey wolf dashing into the woods.

I'd be damned if another rouge dares to step into my territory ever again.
