Chapter 2 my mate, carter

'here he is, my mate sleeping in my arms. i can't believe it. he's so small.. and hurt.. and dumb. running on to someone's pack land like that, must've been something bad.. poor thing..'

i carry my mate to the bathroom to wash the blood off him, he's so beat up his paw pads slipped from running and he looks like he was attacked..

I start the bath, watching carefully to make sure I don't wake him. 

Once the bath is full I set him in it and start cleaning him off the water quickly turning a brownish red from dried blood and dirt, as I wash him I take note of every single cut, bite, and bruise.

 getting angrier with everyone, expectually the ones around his ass and hips. How could anyone do this to him? he must've been so scared.. but he's here now and i won't let anyone touch him again.

i wash and brush his pretty blonde hair before taking him out and drying him off 

'where should i put him? the others will question if he stays in my room and i definitely don't want anyone knowing yet.. they'd be so excited and i don't want him overwhelmed... but... mmm i'll move him before anyone else gets up..' i think carrying him to my room.

Once there I lay him down on the bed tucking him in before leaving to grab bandages and ointment. 

'I wonder what he sounds like, and what color his eyes are, what will he think of me? Being mates with an alpha can be a ton of responsibility, I hope he's okay with that, though I will help so it hopefully won't be too bad' I think running part of the bandage threw my hand.

'I hope he'll be okay.. he's pretty hurt..'

i sigh opening the door, only to see him sitting up staring at me with forest green eyes 

"oh, I'm sorry I thought you'd still be asleep," i say my heart fluttering as i walk over. 

he watches me leaning away as i get close. 

"don't be scared, I'm just going to bandage you up, is that okay?" I ask a little sad that he's so worried.

he nods slowly and holds out his arm, he's so tense, my fingertips buzz as i slowly take his arm and start to bandage up his hand.

'i love this feeling so much.' I think smiling. 

I bandage up all of his cuts taking great care not to hurt him. 

"So why are you on my pack lands?" I ask curiously, wanting to know what he was running from. and why he'd risk his life.

he looks down at his hands not answering.

"hey it's okay, I'm not mad, it must be for a good reason if you're this hurt huh?" 

 he slowly nods in response 

"okay then, how about we get you something to eat?" i offer standing up trying to make him less scared.

he just nods again not even really looking at me 

"okay, i'll be right back then" I say nodding to myself and heading towards the door 

"oh by the way, I'm carter" i say turning to smile at him before closing the door

I quickly go downstairs pulling out some leftover soup 

"i'll cook for him tomorrow.."

 i dish some out for him before bringing it back up for him 

"here you go, hope it's okay" i say handing him the bowl, which he just tilts back and starts to drink from 

"don't choke" i say pulling the edge of the bowl down, 

he looks at me then at the bowl before sighing and holding it out to me.

"you done?" I ask skeptically and he just nods sadly. 

I reach out and take the bowl looking into it, he got half way through at least. 

'i hope i didn't make him stop..' 

 "is there anything else you want?'' 

"n-no..."he mumbles quietly, he's voice is soft and sweet but doesn't sound like he uses it a lot.

 "oh okay, well if you do call for me okay?" i say tilting my head slightly, 

he nods again

 i leave hoping he'll be more comfy without me hovering over him

I go back to my office to work on things. 

it's so late but I can't sleep right now, not with him right in the other room.

I sit in my office for about an hour before it becomes too much and I have to go check on him. 

I walk into the room only to find he's not there. 

"fuck..." 

i quickly going to check around the house for him

'damit i should've never left him.' I think quickly going outside scanning the valley for him, 

'shit how long has he been gone?' 

i quickly going back inside to wake the others to help me search.

it takes till dawn before my beta calls threw the link that he found him asleep right at the edge of the pack lands 

'gods he really is stupid.. he could've gotten so hurt..' 

I quickly go to Marley who's already carrying my mate back to the house. 

"thank you for your help." i tell marley as i pick up my mate.

"no problem sir.. all i want to know is why you were so insistant about finding him" he raises his eyebrows, smirking. 

"oh shut it marley," 

i carry the small wolf back to the house and to a new room

i lay him on the bed checking to make sure its a room where the window can't open.

before leaving and locking the door.

After a nap I go back to unlock the door, peaking my head in.

still asleep. 

I head downstairs and start making some food to bring him when he wakes up.
