The Other Alpha's Mate✔

The Birth of the Rogue King(20)

Ryder Point of View:

The girl thrashed and clawed at the guys hands as he wrapped his hands tighter around her throat. I couldn't see the girl's face from my angle and the curiosity got the better of me and I walked forward. It was deathly quiet in the hospital room all you could hear were the thumps of my feet on the floor. The girl kicked and moved her body underneath him violently as he growled at her, I was by the side of the bed now, I could almost touch her golden locks and I was about to when suddenly everything flashed. My position had changed. I looked down and my eyes grew wide when I noticed that it was now my hands locked around her throat. Her eyes flashed open and they were hers.

Dakota's bright honey coloured orbs were staring into my soul, but I couldn't take my hands away from her throat. I forced all my energy to remove my hands from her but they just clasped onto her tighter, I was trying so hard my muscles were burning, she had stopped fighting and was just staring at me now, her eyes losing their sparkle.

"Ryder..." she whispered and my heart clenched uncomfortably in my chest.

"I'm trying, dammit, I'm trying!" I shouted at her focusing once again on my hands as I tried pulling them away. I glanced at her and my heart shattered, the light had left her eyes completely she wasn't breathing. My hands slipped from her neck like it was the easiest thing to do in the world.

I just killed my mate.

Loud knocking burst through my head and my eyes fluttered open. Glancing around I noted I was in my bedroom and I had not killed my mate. Breathing harshly I glared at my hands and my heart was pounding against my chest as if it was punishing me for my nightmares. That was the second one tonight and it wasn't as bad as they normally were. Normally there was a lot more blood and a lot more pain. The knocking sounded again and I frowned and got out of my bed, opening my door there stood Jason my Beta.

"Yeah?" I asked and he whistled through his teeth.

"You look like crap, mate" he said a I rolled my eyes.

"Thanks, what is it?" I asked and he sighed.

"The pack-" he said and swallowed "They are all gathered in the meeting hall, they are demanding to speak with you. They're getting aggressive Ryder" he said and I groaned but followed him anyway. My muscles were stiff and sore as we walked and the protested with every step I took.

"What's this about?" I asked and he glanced over his shoulder at me.

"I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure"

"The Lycans?" I sighed and he nodded his head.

"Most likely, yes" he said just as we entered the room, they all fell silent and they watched me as I walked up the stage.

"Morning, what is this about?" I asked and the pack began murmuring, sighing I waited for them patiently. After a while one of the older warriors spoke up.

"Alpha we would like to know what you are going to be doing about the Lycan problem" he said and I stiffened.

"Nothing" I said and they instantly began murmuring again, again I waited for them.

"Alpha. They need to be found and this time we need to get rid of them, they will only get stronger and then one day they will have revenge" the same man said and I sighed.

"We will not be doing anything-"

"This is an outrage! How can you just let them go!" One shouted.

"This is bullshit!"

"We want Seth back!"

"You've gone weak!"
