The Doctor's Omega Mate

Chapter Twenty-two: Anguish

Grant POV:

I held my little, precious mate in my arms, our bodies still connected, making Raphael howl inside of me with despair. I inhaled Kenzi's scent, tightening my arms around her as tears fell down my face. I couldn't pull away from her. I hadn't seen her in months, and it was agony without her. I lowered my lips to her throat, licking it softly before holding her still.

"What are you-" Kenzi began to whisper, until I sank my canines into her throat, marking her as mine once more. She cried out loud and scrambled away from me, tears falling from her eyes as she fixed her pants, backing away from me as if I were a monster. My heart shattered as I watched, tears falling from my eyes.

"Kenzi, baby, please," I whispered through my tears. "Please don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just...I needed to mark you... To claim you. It would kill me to let another man have you."

"This is so wrong!" She cried, her hands shaking. "I barely even know you, and you're my professor!"

"Baby, please, you're my mate." I tried to reason with her, stepping closer to her, my palms held out as I hesitantly moved in.

"No...the council...the witch council will have my head for this!" Kenzi sobbed.

"No. Join the revolution." I pressed, stepping forward and cupping her face in my hands. "Werewolves and witches are joining together to form a rebellion against the witch elders. More and more werewolves and witches are ending up as mates. And... You were once a werewolf and a witch. They stole your memories of us away from you, they locked away your wolf in your mind."

"You're crazy!" Kenzi hissed as she struggled to pull away.

"Kenzi, please you have to believe me!" I begged her as I cried. "They stole you away from me! They took my baby girl away from me! We were suppose to get married, have pups! We were happy!"

"This can't be happening. I don't believe it!" Kenzi sobbed. I growled and lifted her head up to mine, kissing her harshly, refusing to let her pull away from me.

"I know you feel the sparks. The mate bond." I snarled, trapping her in my arms, desperate to bring back her memories. "You can't leave me. You can't."

"Let me go!" Kenzi wailed, thrashing in my arms. I sobbed as I kissed the mark on her neck, crying into her throat.

"Please, baby girl," I sobbed. "You have to believe me." The door suddenly opened, and I froze when I saw the headmaster of the school standing there. Alicon Pinc, one of the elders of the witch clans.

"Dr. Lewis, please come with me." He snapped. "And leave Ms. Jahnson behind."

"No." I growled, holding my mate close to my body, refusing to let her go. More witches filed into the room, and I was torn apart from my precious little mate. I howled as I shifted, taking down the first two wolves, until I was stabbed with a syringe. I screamed as I felt wolfsbane enter my blood system, writhing in agony as I was forced to shift.

"Kenzi! Please! You can't let them keep us apart!" I begged with her. But her eyes only portrayed fear and obedience to the witches.

"Mackenzie, don't listen to him. He has unjustly dirtied you, and now he must suffer the consequences." Alicon snarled.

"The consequences?" Kenzi whispered.

"Death, by beheading." Alicon hissed.
