Do you still want me?

Chapter 5

*****Exander's POV*****

We all walked in silence on the way back to the pack territory. No one needed to say a thing. The worriers were happy. They finally had their Luna and had been a part of saving her. I could feel their happiness seeping through the link. 

I finally had my mate. While she was in bad shape now, I knew she would make it through and be a good Luna to my pack. The way that she tried to stay in the silver chains so I wouldn't get hurt already told me a lot about her character. 

Looking down, I saw that she was still asleep against my chest. I also saw that she wasn't healing like she should. That made me worry. 

Dr. Jones, please be ready for our return. Your Luna needs your help, I mind-linked the pack doctor. 

Of course, Alpha. 

I knew I could trust Dr. Jones. She has been the pack doctor for years now. She was a middle-aged woman with long blonde hair and freckles that covered her face. She was such a sweet and caring woman, I had no worries that she would be able to help my mate. 

Finally making it to the pack border, we crossed onto our land to find the rest of our pack helping what was once Caine's pack get situated. My pack members didn't care that they were once the enemies. They were now part of our pack. Within the next week, I would meet with each newcomer personally to officially induct them into the pack. 

But now, my mate was my only concern. I didn't even know her name. 

As I walked towards the infirmary, my pack members bowed in respect to me and their eyes went wide when they saw the small girl in my arms. I didn't bother saying anything to them. They would all know soon enough anyway. 

Once I got to the infirmary, I saw Dr. Jones standing outside with a bed. She gasped when she saw my mate. I gently set her on the bed, causing her to moan in pain. My heart broke, it broke me knowing there isn't anything I could do for her. 

I followed Dr. Jones as she wheeled the bed into a room at the end of a long hallway. 

"I'm sorry, Alpha. You'll have to wait out here while I do my exam," Dr. Jones said with hesitancy in her voice. 

I just nodded and walked back to the waiting room to find Greyson and the rest of the Shadows already sitting there. 

"What are you guys doing?" I asked gruffly. 

Grey looked up. "She's our Luna. We want to make sure she is alright." 

Everyone else just stayed silent. Hours came and went. So did many visitors. News got around that the mysterious girl I brought in was my mate. Many of the pack's mom stopped by to give their condolences and to see if I needed anything. There was only one thing I needed and I couldn't go see her. 

6 hours later and my Beta and the fighters were all still there, as well as their mates if they had found them yet. I was going crazy just sitting here. This was taking too long. I needed to see my mate. I didn't even know her name. 

Another 20 minutes past before Dr. Jones came to the waiting room. She looked absolutely exhausted. Everyone stood up at her appearance, wanting to know the results. I stepped towards her, my eyes searching her face for some sort of sign about what happened. 

"Follow me, please," was all she said before she turned around and walked the way she came. 

We made several turns down different hallways until we stopped outside of a room. 

"She came to us in very bad condition. As you saw, most of her skin had been mutilated in some way. She also had 3 broken ribs, her left ulna was broken, and she had a hairline fracture to her skull. We put her into a medically induced coma to let her heal some. She's not healing like a normal wolf would because of her small size. Her size has led me to believe she has an eating disorder of some sort. Also, because of her size and her condition, she may have lost connection with her wolf. We don't know yet for sure." 

I just stood there staring at her, trying to take in what she had just said. She has an eating disorder? She may have lost her wolf? Why did he do this to her? 

"There's one other thing..." She hesitantly said, not making eye contact. 

"Just say it," I all but growled out at her. 

" She was raped. By the amount of damage done and the scarring she has received, there is a strong chance she may not be able to reproduce."

That made my blood run cold. Someone had touched my mate without her consent. I remembered what I had read from her journal and what I had seen when I had found her. I already knew this had happened, but hearing it from a doctor made it real. Not only that, but they had hurt her so bad the doctor wasn't sure if she would have pups. I was going to make sure they paid for what they did. 

"Can I see her now?" I said through gritted teeth. 

She nodded and motioned for me to go in.

I don't know what I expected to see when I walked in, but after only a few steps into the room, I froze. She was covered in bandages and casts. There were wires and tubes coming from everywhere. She wasn't moving and she was deathly pale. The only sign of life was the heart monitor that was beeping incredibly slow and the subtle movement of her chest as she breathed. 

Slowly, I took steps over to the bed. I pulled one of the chairs in the room next to the bed and sat beside her. She looked like if I touched her, she would break into pieces. 

"Please wake up. I can't lose you; I just found you. Please," I let all of my desperation show through in my voice. 

While I may have the biggest pack in the world and maybe the most feared Alpha as well, that doesn't mean I hadn't been looking for my mate the whole time. I had been searching for her my whole life. She was the only thing I wanted in life. And now that I had her, I might lose her. That thought scared me more than anything. 

She hasn't even told me her name, and she already has me wrapped around her finger. Already, I would do anything for her. 

She didn't make any indication that she would be waking up for a while. I sighed and laid my head down on the bed next to her. I would wait for her. Always.
