The Alpha And His Mate

The Alpha and His Mate chapter 17

Chapter seventeen

Becca's P.O.V.

"James?!" I whispered as I wrapped my shaking fingers around the cell bars.

"Yeah, it's me. How are you doing?" James asked as he approached me.

He looked me over making sure I wasn't hurt, while I did the same.

He looked awful. Bruises covered half of his face, while cuts cover most of his chest, arms, and legs. I felt a tear escape my eye as guilt settled in me. Ever since I found Raven, I've been out and about not even remembering James.

"You're arm." James said as his fingers lightly grazed over the cut.

I shook my head and brought his hand to my cheek. "I'm fine, but you're not. I'm so sorry James. I got so caught u-"

Suddenly an arm was around my waist and in the blink of an eye I was pulled away and held back by two buff guards.

"Get your filthy hands off her!" James shouted as he banged his fists against the cell.

"Quiet down or we'll come in there and make you quiet down." The older guard said lowly with a growl. He nodded his head to the other guard to take me away.

"No! Let me go!" I yelled as I dug me heels into the ground. I tried pulling away from the guard, but he just tightened his grip.

"If you don't let me go, I swear I'll-" I was cut off by the deadliest growl as it rippled down the stair way.

The guards froze in place, giving me enough time to slip out of his hold and run back to James' cell.

I grabbed onto James' hand for dear life, knowing that I'd be in trouble either way.

As soon as Raven enter the hallway, the guards bowed their heads and stepped out of the way.

I narrowed my eyes at Raven, determined to get James out of this hell hole.

"What is going on here?" Raven demanded, and although he was looking at me his demand was directed to the guards.

The head guard spoke up immediately.

"We were in the main prison room, when she ran in and froze. As myself and Sean ran after her, a rogue prisoner grabbed her by the arm as his claws grew. Sean got the Luna out of the mutt's grip and assisted me with suppressing the mutt's turn. Then we see the Luna holding that mutt's hand and that's when we pulled her away."

He said as he sent an annoyed look at me. I wanted to go over there and smack it off, but right now wasn't the time for that.

"Is this true, Becca?" Raven asked as he clenched his teeth and fists at his side.

I gripped James' hand tighter and gave Raven a quick tight nod.

Raven growled lowly as he saw me holding James' hand.

"We need to talk privately, Becca." Raven said as he placed his hands behind his back.

His stance alone intimidated me and made me feel like he was talking with a kid instead of his mate.

"No." I said, barely above a whisper. I could tell Raven, nor James and the guards were expecting that, even I was a little shocked that I had said that. "If you want to talk to me, then you can say whatever it is here."

It was as if Raven and I were having a starring contest. I could tell that Raven wasn't please with me disrespecting him in front of his guards and a few prisoners.

Then, the guards began unlocking the prisoners and moving them to the other room. Once they got the last prisoner out, they tried to take James, but one look from me and they just left.
