Broken Mate (Sequel to My Cruel Mate)

Chapter 2

Nathan's POV

"Alpha, there's a rogue on our territory!" My beta, Adam mind-linked me.

I sniffed the air and caught a hold of the most beautiful scent I had ever smelled. I didn't feel the need to shift to my wolf form because I could tell they were close by. I ran as fast as I could until I could hear Adam talking.

"I don't have all night."

I could see a small wolf on the ground, slightly shaking. When she shifted to her human form, I saw Adam get ready to attack.

"Get away from my mate!" I shouted, pulling him away from her.

He regained his balance and backed away, "I'm sorry, I-I didn't know."

I glared at him, then looked slowly back at the small girl on the ground, "Don't worry, we'll get you back to the pack doctor."

"Please don't take me back to them." Her voice was so quiet I barely heard her, "Just let me die out here."

As Adam mind-linked a few members of the pack to help us, I bent down to her level, "I am not going to let you die." I didn't feel like asking who she was talking about just yet.

I rested my hand on her arm to calm her down slightly. Even if she didn't know I was her mate, it would still work on her.

I heard the distant sound of paws racing along the grass until I could see two wolves approach us. It was one of the doctors, Peter and the pack's strongest warrior, Evan. They shifted to human form and quickly put their clothes on.

My mate passed out just as Peter approached her to make sure she wasn't injured too badly. I quickly moved out of the way.

After a few minutes of checking, he stood up, "She's not injured, but she has been starved and dehydrated for a while now, so we need to get her to the hospital as soon as possible."

Evan picked her up, "Let's go."

"You couldn't have brought a blanket for her?" I growled.

"I'm sorry, alpha," Peter apologized, "but we were in a hurry, so we forgot."

I looked at my mate, "Well, I need to tell the pack about her and get a place in the hospital ready for her, so I'm putting all my trust in you three to get her back."

"We will." Adam said.

"And I swear, if any of you even think about doing anything to her..." I growled louder than usual, realizing she was still naked, "I promise that nobody will be able to find your bodies."

I shifted to wolf form and raced to the hospital to tell the other doctors to get a room ready. I finally found her, and I will not let her die now.
