Alpha's Warrior (Werewolf Saga 2)(complete)

Chapter 20

The sickening sound of bone snapping filled the air. Ronan fell down crying in pain. Paige was thrashing on the bed as she continued to change. She cried and it almost sounded in animalistic. Her ribs shifted after breaking and her face elongated into a snout.

Her hands changed into the paws and slowly fur erupted over her skin. Her eyes watered from the pain. She felt it twice now. Once she shifted into her red wolf she lied there exhausted from the shift. The nurses confirmed that the wounds are closing.

Xander relaxed and Ronan walked towards Paige. He stroked her fiery fur slowly. The bond erupted between them. He saw patches of fur was missing from her back and abdomen and her wolf was scarred. But it only made her beautiful. "Sleep little mate" he said kissing her forehead.

Ronan decided to take the couch for the night. He cleaned up and then he curiously asked the attending nurse. "Why it felt like if she was shifting for the first time?" I asked. "Because maybe she never actually shifted after her first shift or maybe she had lost her wolf and didn't shifted for more than two or three times." The nurse replied.

"Alpha I will be infirmary do mind link me if you had any requirements or if Miss Morgan needs assistance." Ronan nodded placing some pillows over the bed. He already replaced the sheets and she was sleeping there peacefully. She was still in her wolf form. Which made him wonder how she got those scars on her wolf.

A surge of anger rushed inside of him. He wanted to rip anyone who ever have touched his mate. He wanted to rip them to shreds. He heard a whimper and then he saw her shaking. She was dreaming. He quickly got up and ran to his side ignoring his pain.

"Wake up baby you are dreaming" He shook her slightly. She whimpered more. He tried harder to wake her up. She suddenly used her wolf speed to throw him on the ground. His eyes widen as his pain made him impossible to focus.

The red wolf lunged at him baring his canine. She was thinking him as a threat all she saw was red. Paige was not in control. She was too shaken up from the nightmare to be in control. She bared her canine ready to attack and Ronan was ready to surrender to his mate.

He know in his condition he cannot overpower her wolf. Her black eyes was watching him with a Predatory glint. And he was suddenly the small child again trying to fight of the wolf in front of him. He saw his black eyes and then a scream pierced his throat.

He knew he was going to die. He felt the canines of the wolf dug into his collar bone and he gave into the nightmare.

Next day he woke up with a headache and his neck felt sore. His hand travelled over his neck and shoulder joint and he winced as he touched the bite mark over it. So it was not a dream after all. It was her. Paige was sitting by his side with helpless eyes. She was crying. He moved his hand to touch her but then he remembered her rules.

His hands felt back instantly as he gritted his teeth. "Are you alright little mate?" He asked. Paige moved her head up and her blue eyes were red rimmed. "I... I am sorry I was so afraid when my wolf lost control and bit you. I...I thought I killed you and then you were not waking up and bleeding and... I am sorry. I am a monster...I am a monster...I am a monster... I killed you... I almost... almost..."

Ronan hugged her. "Shhh... breathe Paige... Slowly breathe." She tried to breathe. Once she relaxed enough he make her drink some water.

"I am sorry. I... I don't deserve you do i... you will reject me too right?" Paige asked tired of being strong always, seeing that nothing ever will get her. But it did. It effects her now she is tired of being strong.

He softly wiped her tears away. "Shhh... don't cry little mate. You didn't tried to kill me. You just accidently marked me. I was afraid too maybe I passed out because of that. Paige I am not as strong as everyone believes me to be. I am vulnerable. I always was. But I was shutting my heart out trying to be cold so no one can see my broken self. But I think I was being a coward. I was pushing people away and loosing them on purpose. But now that I have you, I want to share everything with you. But I am afraid to show you the real me. I am afraid that you will never ever love me" he said looking at Paige.

Paige hugged him. "You know you are my knight in shining armor you saved me from myself." She said looking at him. "I think I am still not doing the job quite well." Ronan said playing with her fingers. The sparks intensified and his control slipped more.

"You are still in heat" He started. "Can you just be with me. After last night i... I don't want to be alone" Paige said.

"don't worry Princess Paige Ronan Luca Donovan you are to be protected 24X 7 and I will make sure of it." Paige groaned. "I hate titles" Ronan chuckled.

"You should have thought before you have marked me then my little mate." Paige's eyes widen. "Did I actually marked you?" She asked. Ronan nodded opening the buttons of his shirt and revealing the healing scar.

She traced it making a wave of pleasure swept through Ronan. "I am sorry I didn't know what I was doing. It was always the male who marks the females and being an alpha that instinct might have been high" Ronan shook his head in no.

"You know what I am honored little mate it was you who marked me. You are the alpha in the relationship. My dominant one" Ronan winked at her playfully.

"Do you want me to put you on a leash and make a dog house for you?" Paige said. He looked at her horrified. "You don't mean that do you?" he gulped. "Yes I do in fact Destiny is making a dog house for her mate. I might just follow her example little mate" Paige said trying not to laugh.

Ronan turned to her with sorrow filled eyes. "My own mate wants to make me a dog. How is this even fair?" Paige took a pity on him.

"because my mate a big fluffy cuddly dog and I like to cuddle with him." She answered. "So we are healthy enough now. Want to go on a date with me?" He asked.

Paige looked up and smiled. "I will love to go on a date with you Alpha Donovan." She said. And finally she knew she have courage to fight her past demons.

She will do so with Ronan by her side. He was indeed her Knight in shining armor.
