Chapter Six

Alyssa trudged down to the pack doctor with Jordan guiding her. He didn't take his eye off her for a second and Jordan couldn't decide if it was because of the mate bond or because he didn't want her running again.

They walked to the infirmary together and Jordan led her into a clean white room with several eyes following them.

"Do they know?" Alyssa asked.

"I think so." Jordan replied. "They can smell you're a rogue but I'm not sure if they know that you are the future queen."

Alyssa scoffed and said,

"I'm not a queen."

Jordan was losing control of Ryder when he said,

"You are our Queen."

Alyssa was taken back by his comment but didn't let it show as she sat down on the bed. The place smelled of antiseptic and cleanliness. They both hated it.

"How old are you?" Jordan finally asked, while waiting for the doctor.

"17, you?"

"22."

"You're my brother's age." Alyssa commented.

Jordan nodded his head and asked,

"Family?"

"Is this twenty questions?" Alyssa asked sarcastically.

Jordan continued to stare at her waiting for his question to be answered and Alyssa rolled her eyes saying,

"5 older brothers, the twins, Tyler, Xavier, and Josh. My dad, and my mom is dead."

Jordan seemed a little shocked by the amount of family she has but continued with his questions,

"Are you close to any of them?"

"Josh, Tyler and Xavier."

"Not with everyone else?" Jordan asked and Alyssa answered with a scoff. He was about to press on but the doctor came in.

"Your Majesty, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Alyssa needs her shoulder put back into place." Jordan said, ignoring the apology from the doctor.

"A rogue?" The doctor asked, with his nose scrunched up in disgust.

Jordan let out a low and lengthy growl and the doctor shrank back in fear.

"Watch it." Jordan warned.

The doctor neared Alyssa and as he placed his hands on her she flinched, which didn't go unnoticed by Jordan.

"This will hurt." The doctor told Alyssa and she just shrugged with her good shoulder.

He popped it back into place and Alyssa didn't flinch.

'So she flinches under someone's touch but not with pain?' Ryder asked Jordan.

'I guess' Jordan replied.

Alyssa got up and went to leave when Jordan stopped her. He let the doctor leave before he asked,

"What was that?"

"Sorry?"

"What was that?" He asked again, "You flinched under his touch but not when he popped your shoulder back in place."

"I didn't." Alyssa said, trying to play it off.

Jordan caught onto what she was doing and quickly grabbed her forearm.

Acting on reflex Alyssa grabbed his arm and flipped him over so that he landed on the ground.

Realizing what she did, Alyssa knelt down and quickly scanned for injuries.

"Sorry reflex." She said truthfully.

Jordan looked into her eyes and saw that they held nothing but truth. He glanced at her worried and was about to say something when they heard a large commotion from the infirmary.

After helping Jordan up, they both walked out and watched as a familiar wolf was tearing through Jordan's palace.

He looked over to Alyssa who only rolled her eyes at the wolf and said in an annoyed voice,

"Xavier, put him down." She was referring to the wolf that Xavier was holding up by the throat.

On hearing her voice, Xavier dropped the wolf and ran to Alyssa, engulfing her in a bear hug.

'She didn't flinch when he touched her.' Ryder commented, grumpily, which reflected onto Jordan.

With gold flakes in his eyes Jordan let out a warning growl and Alyssa shot him a glare.

"Shut up," She scolded and Jordan was taken aback, "Xavier, this is Jordan, King of Werewolves, my mate. Jordan, this is Xavier, my brother."

Jordan still didn't like that she didn't flinch when Xavier touched her.

Xavier's eyes shot up and he glanced around until his eyes met Taylor's,

"Mine!" He growled. His eyes grew a shade darker as he reached her.

He went to pull her in for a hug when she backed away. He whimpered and Taylor took in his appearance.

Xavier was not bad looking, in fact he was rather good looking.

He had dirty blonde hair that fell messily over his face. He had a sharp jawline and piercing green eyes that matched Alyssa's.

"Y-you are a rogue." She said matter-of-factly.

"I didn't exactly have a choice in that." Xavier said, sadly.

"You're Alyssa's sister?"

"Yeah, I didn't have a choice in that either."

"I'm going to try not to take offense by that." Alyssa said, in a joking manner.

Jordan put his arm around Alyssa causing her to flinch again. He pulled her close so that her back was against his chest. She sort of relaxed into him but still kept her guard up.

Taylor and Xavier said something quieter that Jordan didn't catch and Taylor pulled Xavier into a hug. Xavier grinned and Jordan wondered to himself,

Why is Xavier willing to have his mate but Alyssa's not?
