Can You Save Me?... Book 3

Eric's mood

Eric POV

I groan when I open my eyes to see the sky is dark, it was just early morning the last I remembered. I look around me and notice we are in the arena still so I know we're not somewhere else at least but I don't see my mates.

"What on earth?" I heard to my right and behind me so I turned my head and saw Sam, naked and spread eagle on his back. Next to him a bit away is Connor, on his side, naked and Skylar nowhere to be seen. I try, the keyword here, is try to stand up but my body feels like it was ripped in half. 

"What happened?" Sam asked and he tried sitting up but like me, failed so he huffed and just laid there.

"I don't know. I can't remember much after Skylar said we were his." I said and tried to search my memory but it's fuzzy. All I know is my body is wrecked and by the looks of Connor and Sam, theirs is as well. 

I hear something moving and look into the opening of the forest to see a naked Skylar. I’m not sure if I was seeing things when I noticed his body was perfect and his skin was flawless, a bright smile like he didn't have a care in the world.

"Hi beautiful." He said holding out his hand for me to take but I didn't want to take it so I glared at it and he retracted his hand and knelt down in front of me.

"What's wrong?" 

"Like you don't know! Look at us and look at you! We can't move and here you are strutting out of the forest like a damned model!" I yelled and his face went from calm and concerned to angry and red.

"Fine, you can help yourself up and walk all the way back." He said calmly, to calm for my liking and it pissed me off even more.

"I will and I'll take my time so you can worry about me when I'm not back yet!" He didn't say anything, just kept walking and I sighed. 

"You may want to be careful of what you say to him right now." Sam said and I glared at him.

"Don't tell me how to talk to my mate!" 

"Our." He and Connor said at the same time.

"Look the reason I said that is because he is new to his powers, his wolf as you know is powerful so we don't know what kind of control he has over his wolf. We don't know what to expect with him or his powers Eric so I'm just saying, be careful. I don't want him to accidentally hurt you when he loves you too much to ever think about hurting you." Sam said and I knew he was speaking the truth but still, I'm his mate, he should I don't know, argue back like a normal person, he is too sweet and kind spoken with us, treating us like China dolls all the damn time.

I grew frustrated and got up off the ground and my knees wobbled, but I was able to stand. Connor and Sam stood as well and we made our way back to the house. When we got there, over an hour later I couldn't smell Skylar anywhere, not even his scent lingering meaning he hadn't been home. There aren't any lights on in the house so I'm going to assume everyone's at the pack house. We shift and that's where we go.

When we arrive, the place is busy with people and I hear music from the backyard. We shift back and go inside to the suite, Sam following us to get showered and clean clothes on.

Once we were all ready, we went downstairs and I saw Skylar talking to Declan with his back turned to us so I just walked outside, not wanting to talk to him right now. 

I gasp when I see the whole yard decorated with lavender and light green balloons, streamers, table cloths, food on a few tables and tons of gifts. There is a banner hanging up that reads "Congratulations Skylar, Connor and Eric." In bold yellow letters. 

"What's this?" I asked Jake but he looked behind me and I looked and saw Skylar standing there with his arms open and I couldn't stand it, I walked right into them and took a deep breath, enjoying his scent.
