The Helpless Mate

Chapter 14

"Gahhhh!" I scream out in pain.

"It's ok, it's just heat." Kitten says as she dabs a wet, cool washcloth on my forehead.

"H-heat?" I groan out.

"Yes. About a week after meeting your mate you go into heat. You get hot, really hot and it hurts a lot. The only thing that makes it stop is if you mate with your mate. And any interaction really soothes it, but doesn't stop completely. And mating with anyone else will soothe the pain. It happens to all shifters." Kitten explains.

"Then get his ass in here!" I scream at her.

"You're not really gonna mate with him, are you?!" Kitten scrunches you her nose.

"No! But if him being here soothes the pain then I want him here!" I yell.

"Ok! Ok!" She says then leaves the room.

After ten minutes, the door opens. But it isn't Jax or Kitten. It's some guy. He's got brown hair and brown eyes that are full of lust. He's built but not as built as Jax. He takes a deep breath and when his eyes open, they're black.

"I knew I smelled someone in heat." He growls darkly.

"W-what are you doing in the Alpha's house?" I ask, almost out of breath from all the panting and sweating I've been doing.

"Shut up." He growls and stalks towards me.

He crawls on top of me and paws at my breasts. I shove his hands away and try to push him off of me. He rips off my pajama shorts which leaves me in my underwear and a tank top. I scream and he slaps me. He kisses and nibbles on my neck as he roughly grinds himself against me. Admittedly, it does soothe the pain a little, but I don't want anyone but Jax.

"Jax!"

Jax's POV

A knock sounds at my door and I sigh and take off my reading glasses.

"Come in." I sigh.

Kitten enters the room and just the sight of her makes my blood boil. "Alpha." She begins with her head down. "Your mate requests your presence."

"I'm busy." I spit out.

"But.. but can't you hear her screams?" She pleads. "You know you're the only one who can stop the pain."

Again, I let out a sigh. As mad at her as I am, I still love her and I don't want her to suffer. I'm still mad about her flashing my pack and then pushing me away. And I'm mad at Kitten for ruining the first intimate moment I had with my mate, I let out an involuntary growl just thinking about it. She screams again. She must be in so much pain.

"I-" I'm cut off by a sharp pain in my chest.

"Jax!" She screams, but she sounds desperate and terrified.

I bolt out of the room and into hers. My eyes immediately go black. There's a guy on top of my mate. I grab him by his collar and fling him against the wall, hearing a satisfying crack. He growls. I grab him by the chest of his shirt and drag his ass out of the house and onto the front lawn.

Kill this bastard for touching our mate! My wolf growls.

He's still part of the pack. It's because she's in heat. I tried thinking logically even though I wanted to murder him too.

If you won't, then I will. He says and I can feel my eyes go black and I drift to the back of my mind as he takes control.

My wolf lands punch after punch on this guy's face until it's swollen and bloody. He extends his nails and takes them down his chest, but his wounds instantly heal. So, my wolf does this repeatedly until he goes so deep that they don't heal. He rears back his hand and prepares to slice his throat wide open. But something, someone grabs my arm.

"P-please Jax.. don't. I-I-I'm fine now, honest." It's her sweet angelic voice that floods my ears.

He fling him away and takes a couples steps away. "Not Jax." He says. "Bolt."

"You're Jax's Wolf?" She asks as she rubs her hand up and down my back to calm my wolf down.

"Yes." He says as he pulls her close and holds her in a firm embrace.

"Bolt? Umm shouldn't you link someone to deal with.. that?" She mutters.

Beau? I link my delta, my third in command.

Yeah Jac? He links back

I have a situation at my house.

I'll be there soon.

I'm not worried about him trying to mate with Alexandria, he's already found his mate so there won't be a problem. He shows up a few minutes later.

"Damn Jax, you did a number on Dylan!" He laughs.

"Yeah, just take him to the infirmary, then the jail cells." I growl looking at Dylan.

"Sure, I- oh! Sorry Luna!" He says as he adverts his eyes and focuses them on Dylan.

Bolt gives him a confused look before looking at our mate. She has no pants on! He grows and picks her up before carrying her inside the house. He takes her back to her room and lays her on the bed. He starts to leave but she grabs his hand.

"Please don't leave me. The pain isn't so bad when you're here." She pleads and he can't help but stay after he sees her puppy dog eyes.

"Ok."he says and sits on the edge of the bed.

"Will you... lay with me?" She asks shyly.

Then I come back out. "I don't know if that's a good idea... we might end up mating and I don't want it to be because of your heat."

"We won't. We can just cuddle." She says with those puppy dog eyes again, God that look will be the death of me,

I sigh and climb in bed next to her. I'm laying on my back and she cuddles up next to me and lays her head on my chest. She drapes her arm across my waist. We lay like that for a good ten minutes. And then she starts running her fingers through my chest hair which causes an almost purring sound to come out of me. She giggles. God I want to hear that sound every day. I'm pulled out of my thought as her hand trails lower. It runs through my chest hair down to my V line and...
