My Mate Was My Bully

Chapter 29

James' POV.
A few days later

I growled in frustration.

The pack killings have started to become more frequent even though I had added more security and people on patrols.

"Alpha" a meek, cautious voice said from the other side of the door.

"What" I growled as I paced the length of my office.

A small shivering figure opened the door nervously.

"C-can y-y-you please h-help m-me?" She stuttered out.

"With?" I asked a little harsher than necessary, but I had more pushing matters to figure out.

"M-my mom s-s-she disappeared, I-I can't f-find her and I-I h-have no one e-else t-to look after me" she said, her eyes looked everywhere but mine, making me feel bad for being so harsh with her.

"Yes, of course" I said softly as I tried to ease her nerves.

"When did you last see her?" I asked softly.

"L-last night" she answered sorrowfully.

"Okay, lets go and find h-" I started but someone quickly pushed their way into my office, past the poor stuttering girl, making my eyes snap up at the culprit, annoyance was clear on my face.

"Alpha, I'm sorry for the disrespect, but you must come now" Tyler said frantically.

With a swift nod, I contemplate whether I should leave her in my office or bring her with. But Tyler's eyes were frantic, so I quickly decided and grabbed the small girls hand.

"Let's go see what's happened, then we'll find your mom, okay?" I said.

"T-thank you A-alpha" she stuttered out.

"I'm going to have to pick you up, is that okay? It'll be over quicker" I told her. She merely gave a small nod and lifted her arms towards me. I quickly grabbed her waist and pull her on to my back so she could be in a piggyback position.

Without hesitation I quickly sped after Tyler. It wasn't a long run but the sight in front of me was gruesome.

There sat my mate, with a pale woman's head rested in her lap. My mate was softly muttering comforting words to the dying woman.

"Kira?!" I exclaimed confused.

"I was going on a run, when I came across this woman, here, left for dead. Her stomach has been clawed open" Kira explained and gestured, as streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Mommy?" The small girl's voice came from my behind my back, her voice shaky and confused.

"My darling? Where's my baby" the woman screeched and began to cough up blood.

"Mommy! I'm here" the small girl said as she wriggled out of my grip and onto the floor, without hesitation she was up and running towards her mother.

"Mommy! What happened? You're going to be okay right?" The little girl exclaimed frantically. The mother gave the small girl a weak smile.

"Of course darling, mommy is going to be okay. The Luna was telling me about what would happen to you, and I can finally rest in peace " the mother said as she softly caressed the young-ins cheek. Her eyes slowly began to droop.

"No mommy! Don't leave me!" The little girl screamed at her mother.

"I want you to remember that mommy always loves you" the mother said as she began to become weaker and weaker, her bond with the pack fading as quickly as the life in her eyes.
