Son of a Rouge

Extreme Worry [°5°]

^Ryder's Wolf

[Ryder's POV]

It is very early in the morning so I'm out in the woods with my brother shifted and running through the woods enjoying the warm air and sunlight. When all of a sudden a feel a sharp pain in my chest. It was enough to knock the wind out of me. I stop running to make sure I'm not just feeling random things or that I'm not hurt, when I feel a sharp pain spread all over my body. It felt like fire. I'm strong enough to get through it, but this has never happened before. This is something new. The pain only persists when a wolves' mate gets hurt. But I don't have a mate... The pain worsens and all of a sudden stops. All of my senses tell me to run to the guy's house I was at yesterday. I don't care if my senses are wrong. I just need to make sure he's okay. Something is wrong with him. I leave my brother, shift back and start running with all my speed.

I didn't tell anyone where I was going. The pain gets worse. I have to stop and I kneel on the ground trying to catch my breath. I have to keep going, I don't want anyone hurting him more. I get up and keep running through the pain. I hope I don't seem even more creepy. But at this point I don't even care, I care more about his well-being than if I seem creepy or not. I still don't understand why I can feel this.. He's not my mate. I'm not old enough to have a mate yet. I'm a whole year from being 18.

Stuck in my thoughts I arrive to the same tan house as before. The door is already gone. My anger rises higher than ever before, somebody must've broke in and attacked him. I shift into my wolf and run into the house just to see Amaya leaning over next to him. He's all bruised and battered up. He's unconscious. "Is he breathing?" I ask Amaya through mind-link and she nods. Thoughts flood through my mind as to what I should do. I quickly tell Amaya, "Put him on my back, I'm taking him to the pack doctor." "Is that a good idea?" she mind-links back. "Does it matter?" She doesn't respond and just picks the boy up and puts him on my wolf's back. She shifts after doing so and we run back to the pack house. This boy is so light.. I can barely feel him on me.

I shift into my human form and pick him up bridal style and walk into the pack house. I already mind-linked the pack doctor to get a room ready for him. I take him to the doctor but I am asked to leave. "No" I say "I refuse to leave him". "You have to" the pack doctor replies in her sweetest voice possible. "No!" I yell almost attacking her. Amaya busts in and pulls me out into the waiting room trying to control me. I just feel such a strong connection to this boy and I don't know why. She better not hurt him, or else I will have to hurt her. I'm next in line for Alpha, she can't disobey me.

After about an hour of waiting, the pack doctor walks back out and talks to Amaya privately and walks away. I instantly get annoyed and worried. Why couldn't she talk to the both of us? "What did she say?" I ask Amaya. "She says that he has a mild concussion and asked if he is a wolf".. "Well is he?" Amaya nodded. "He doesn't know it though" Well that changes everything. "How does he not know?" I think to what I thought was myself, but I accidentally mind-linked Amaya. She lifts her head up and says, "His father is a wolf, nobody knows where he his because he left him and his mother. But since the father has the most dominant gene, he is a wolf too." Wow.. he's a wolf.. and he doesn't know it. "It's our job not to tell him, he needs to find out on his own, or have someone closer to him tell him." Amaya says and I nod in agreement because that makes sense. He wouldn't want to find out from some random guy he barely met. It would be a bad idea for Amaya to tell him because then he'll put together all the pieces and find out that she's been keeping it a secret from him.

The doctor walks out once again and tells us we can go into the room now to see him. I walk in and see him laying on the bed, so peaceful, so... beautiful. I shake those thoughts out of my head. He might not like guys for all I know, he could already have a boyfriend. I shouldn't be thinking about him like this.. I shouldn't be thinking about.. oh no! What's his name? How was I dumb enough to never get his name. In slight embarrassment I say "Amaya?" She hums in response. "What's his name?" "Aaden" she says back. Wow, such a beautiful name for a beautiful person. I continue to stare at him when his dark brown eyes open and meet my hazel ones. My heart stops for a second, hopefully he doesn't get scared off by me. I'm nice I swear. He doesn't do anything but smile, that makes my heart melt. Wow.. that smile looks like it can attract girls all around. "Hi..." he says quietly. "Hey" I say back trying to sound cool, when in the inside my heart is jumping for joy to be talking to a guy as cute as him. "I'm Ryder" I say. "I'm Aaden".

"Nice to meet you."

"Hey!" Amaya whisper yells, "Right now of all times isn't the time to be having introductions, we need to figure out what happened to Aaden" I look over to Aaden and see tears forming in his eyes. Whoever hurt him I need to hurt them back because nobody is going to hurt him and get away with it. Without paying.
