His Mute Mate

ch.43

Dean

Even though Winter said she was fine I can still feel her stress coursing through our bond. Im sure that my stress isn't helping her at all but I cant help it. Ashley is the one who's been helping the rouges. I cant even say what her motive would be. Wasn't her last pack murdered by rouges? We've been nothing but nice and understanding towards her from the day she first came on our grounds, so why would she betray us?

Taking a deep breathe to calm my nerves and worry about small girl curled up in my arms. With everything that she's been keeping to herself and trying to solve on her own im not surprised that its getting to her, I just hope sheets me in. 'What are you thinking about' she suddenly asks rolling onto her other side to face me. "You, life" I reply simply and she nods as of agreeing. "What about you Whats around in that little head of yours" I ask. 'Honestly everything all at once' she sighs.

I pull her closer and kiss her forehead. "If I could fight away all the thoughts I would but for now do you wanna talk about it, it could help" I offer knowing she should let some of the weight off her shoulders. 'Well I feel like all of this is my fault, the pack is at risk because people are after me' she lets out. I can feel the sadness flooding her body and my wolf whine. "Its not your fault" I try to reassure but I know when she gets like this its hard for her to see anything but the dark parts.

'Before I came into yours and the packs life everyone was safe, you weren't as stressed, nobody was in danger, and everything was ok with you guys. I can't help but to feel that if I hadn't came into your life everything would be better' she admits and it causes my heart to fall apart. She doesn't understand how much better she's made my life. "Winter you've got it wrong before you came into my life I was a shell of the person I am now, I was hiding my feelings afraid to show emotions viewed as weak. You taught me that it was ok to cry and have helped in mending my emotion scares. Sure right now its tough but that's how life is" I tell her lifting her chin to meet my eyes. Even if I had the chance to change things and to have never met her I wouldn't do it for all the good it has brought me.

'I love you' she says placing her hand on my cheek with soft eyes. "I love you Winter always and forever" I promise taking her hand in mine. Her hazel eyes stare into my eyes searching for anything that would prove my word false but I know she will come up nothing. There's not a cell in body that doesn't love her, she holds my hearts in her hands till the day we die. I've never felt able to completely give my heart away and hope for the best until I met her and I know its not just the mate bond, its her heart and soul that I fell in love with so quickly. The mate bond is just what drove me to her but she is what kept me from stabilized me.

I watch as she slowly yawns and snuggles deeper into my chest giving up on searching. "You should sleep" I whisper wrapping my arms back around her waist. She nods and closes her eyes before inhaling deeply and then her body fully relaxes. I watch as she sleeps for awhile. Admiring the way her eyelashes rest softly on her cheekbones and how she still looks completely flawless. I listen to her breathing and watch the gentle rise and fall of her shoulders before drifting off to sleep to her heartbeat. Life can wait a few hours.

My sleep was disturbed hours latter when im hit with a surge of fear and panic. I know its coming from me but the bond so look towards Winter. She looked troubled and I could feel her trying to reach out for me. Its not a nightmare you won't be able to wake her up until its over. What do you mean Ace? Its kinda like the coma she was in but different Snow says that Alex and Rosa have been trying to make contact with her dreams. Do know who it is for this dream she panicking. No but I think it might be both fighting against each other. In each dream with Rosa she learns anther one her skills as an angel werewolf hybrid. Alex wants to keep said skills hidden because they can be used against her.
