The Mating Bond

Chapter 6

~°·Ω·°~

Malcolm's P.O.V.

I was in shock. We hadn't even gotten to The Mating Bond yet somehow my mate stumbled across me. In my daze, I had somehow found the strength to walk towards her. My werewolf sight allowed me to see her features even though it's relatively dark out.

Her blonde hair cascaded down her body and goes to her hips. Freckles cover her nose and cheek bones and gave her that sweet look to her. And her eyes. The most gorgeous shade of green I have ever seen. Green was definitely my new favorite colour. 

Maddox was going insane and it took all my power to stop him from taking over and marking her. I had heard about people's wolves being this excited and being hard to control when meeting your mate for the first time but, I didn't truly believe it was this hard.

Her and I both stand there in shock as we both look at each other. Her breathing is ragged and I can hear her heartbeat pounding in her chest. As I study more of her face, I noticed tear stains on her cheeks. Why was she crying? There aren't any houses or anything for kilometers around here. The only place with people is the Mating Bond. Is she crying because she didn't see me there? Oh my poor mate.

Her hand grasps the fabric just over where her heart is as her breathing becomes even more ragged. She is gasping for air!

"Mate is having panic attack! Help mate!"

Maddox yells in my head. I never had to calm someone down from a panic attack before so I don't know any procedures to do. Do I slap her on the back? Do I give her CPR? A Dr Pepper? Ugh, I'm so stupid!

I remember how I once heard that a mates touch can calm a person down so, I quickly bring her into a hug. Her head fits just under my chin and my arms fit perfectly around. As if they were made to embrace her.

I feel her body tense at my actions. Did I cross a line? Is this to soon to be hugging her? I've never been in a relationship before or close to anyone in this way. I never had the time or the want to.

Can we even be classified to be in a relationship? She is my mate but, I just met her. She might already be in a relationship. Maddox growls in my head at this thought. He doesn't like the idea of anyone besides her parents hugging our mate. I agree with that thought but, I can't force her to be with me. Even if I want her to, it wouldn't be fair to her. This mate stuff is so confusing and complicated! Why couldn't I have paid more attention to my father when he explained mates?

Her body is still tense under my embrace and her breathing is even worse than before. I was about to let go of her but her body falls limp in my arms.

Panicking, I pick her up bridal style and turn towards Ace and Bridget. They seemed to be conversing thru the mind link to each other but swiftly stopped noticing my unconscious mate. I can hear her breathing and heartbeat still so I know she is still alive. Thank heavens for that. Women from the pack say I have a killer look as in I'm hot but, if my mate died, I would literally have a killer look.

I jog towards them holding my mate in my arms. They both are shocked for obvious reasons. Ace is the first to speak.

"You killed her!"

Bridget smack him upside the head.

"She's not dead you idiot. She fainted!"

He whines like a five year old.

"Hey! No hitting! I'm your future Alpha. Doesn't that mean anything to you?"

She scoffs.

"Sure it does. It means the pack is screwed."
