His Mute Mate

Chapter 22

A/N: okay so I'm just now noticing how much I messed up with the name at the beginning of the book. It's fixed now but there still might be a few mistakes. But Emmelines mate is the alpha and his name is Kace. My stupid autocorrect just doesn't like that name so it kept changing it. So I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Please Enjoy the rest of the story!!💖

Alex and Oliver allowed me to stay at the safe haven as long as I needed. Alex was always right next door in case I needed anything. Oliver of course went back to his mate, who I got the chance to meet at dinner.

Dinner here is under a big pavilion. Each day a group his out to get food and Alex has strong enough magic to conjure up whatever gets left out. She doesn't like having to use her powers a lot. Why, I'll never know.

Olivers mate was really nice. She had long blonde hair, green eyes, and was taller than me. It was kind of obvious she was pregnant from the slight bump on her stomach.

Now I laid in my own bed in Alex's cabin. She was already fast asleep but I was awake still. My mind wandering back to Kace. There was no telling how many people he would be willing to kill to get to me. I could already feel my body rejecting the mark by the way my stomach turned.

Tomorrow I was likely to be sick while my body rejected it. After a couple of days his mark would disappear from my neck. I was grateful for that.

Kace isn't the person I thought he was. The person I thought he was never existed. Which made me feel abandoned. Of course Alex and Oliver would always be there for me, but I couldn't count on them to take care of me forever. I didn't do it while living as a rogue and I wasn't about to do it again.

Although I was a rogue again. Which meant Kace and his beta and gamma would have a harder time looking for me. Although I was the alphas mate I was no longer part of the pack.

After tossing and turning for an excessive amount of time, I decided to go for a walk around the safe haven. I didn't really pay attention to where I was going though I just followed the path of fireflies dancing in the cattails. Which led me to the river that ran through here.

I sat down on the bank and dipped my feet in the cool water. It was the middle of spring but the water was surprisingly pretty warm. Alex's magic probably controlled it though so the people could fish year round.

I never thought he would do this to us. Belle spoke in my mind. Honestly I didnt either. I told her. But what did you expect he's an alpha, who only cares about himself. I feel like there is more of a reason to why he acts like this. His wolf doesn't. His wolf is kind and sweet. But then he went and slept with a whore. His wolf didn't want him to. His wolf wants us-- but he doesn't. I finished for her. She let out a small whine.

She really cared about his wolf and he cared about her. I felt bad about keeping them apart Belle was there for me when I needed her the most. She deserved a happy life with her mate. I just didn't know what to do.

Before I knew it I was crying. Sobs escaping my lips. At first Kace had treated me so well but know I didn't know what to think. I was confused. I was helpless I just didn't know what to do.

Someone sat down beside me and I looked up expecting to see Alex or Oliver. Instead I saw someone I never thought I would ever see again.

It was my aunt Kathy. I looked around realizing I was surrounded by nothing but white instead of the dark river bank. I decided not to think to deeply about it.

"My beautiful Emmeline" she smiled grabbing both of my hands in hers. "Why are you crying" she asked. Brushing a price of hair behind my ear. "I'm just so confused. At first my mate acted like he truly cared about me. But then I learned all these things about him and he slept with another woman. He marked me by force. He was the one who had you and my sister killed." I cried. "I don't want to be with a man like that."

"Emmeline I want to tell you something" she said lifting my chin and brushing away my tears. "Your sister isn't dead. They only shot her in the leg. She came here to the safe haven and she is still her. You can find her sweetie. She can help you more than anyone else can.

"And my sweet little girl, don't worry about your mate. I know things have been hard but just give it a little more time. Sweetie, he really does love you, but there is something he hasn't told you, but in time he will. Just trust me everything is gonna be all right. You just have to have faith in yourself. Your stronger than you think you are. Your stronger than other people think you are. I know everything will work out in the end. Just don't give up."

I nodded and she pulled me closer as I sobbed into her shoulder. "I have to go now my beautiful girl. Just remember what I told you" she said her image fading. "Don't go" I cried. "I have to" she said disappearing and leaving me all alone.

Alex P.O.V

I woke up and looked around. The sun was peeking through the windows and Emmeline was nowhere to be seen. I assumed she was with Oliver and headed over to his cabin and knocking three times on the door.

"What's up Al" he yawned stretching. "Have you seen Em" I asked worried. He had been asleep so he probably hasn't but he might've seen her last night. "No not since dinner last night... Why?"

"Shit this isn't good. I don't know where she is we have to find her" I said my heart pounding.

She could've went past the border on accident and Kace could've found her. There's no telling what he would do to her. She was a sister to me. I had to go find her. I took off running and Oliver shouted "Alex don't forget about your bad leg" he said.

I had been shot in the leg when I was younger. Although I couldn't exactly remember why.

I ran around the camp checking everywhere. I decided to stop and take a break from the throbbing in my leg. When I had been shot my leg didn't heal correctly so it was kind of weak.

I walked to the river bank and eased my leg into the cool water spotting Em not far down the bank. But she was unconscious. "Oliver" I yelled. Luckily he wasn't to far away to the point he couldn't hear me "over here."

He ran over and picked up the passed out Emmeline and helped me up. "I think she's in a coma" i said distressed. We didn't have the things to help her out of a coma. Even my magic wasn't that strong. As bad as I didn't want to do it I knew we had to take her back to her mates pack. It was the only way she would get the care she needed. Even the mark on her neck was awfully bruised.

"Oliver, we have to take her to her mate."

A single tear rolled down my face as we crossed our boarder and took our best friend back to the person she despised the most.
