Scent of a Mate

Chapt 6

I don't know why and how I'm actually getting reads and follows... But thanks!
I'm really just using this as a creative outlet so sorry if I don't update all the time. Writers block sucks... Any-who here's chapter 6.
----------------------------------------------
Nate

The car ride to the pack was silent, but not awkward. We both had too much on our minds and the evening was probably one of the most unbelievably dramatic moments I've ever had.
I don't know what came over me. Seeing her try to kill herself just sparked this desperation in me. I just couldn't see her die. It physically hurt me to see her want to kill herself. I had chest pains, my eyes were stinging, my legs were aching. I couldn't do it.

I texted Craig letting him know that I got the girl and I was bringing her to the pack. I left out a the fact the she was my mate. I was just to tired to talk to him.

I looked over at her to find her asleep.

She really is beautiful...

Should I have brought her with me?

There was no doubt in my mind that I should have saved her life, but bringing her with me was quite terrifying.

I don't know why I said that I could help her because to be honest... I don't know how to help her. I wasn't a mushy or emotional guy.

How can I help an emotionally distressed person?

I parked the car in front of the pack house and looked over to her sleeping figure.

Should I carry her in?

I looked inside and saw that there were a few people still awake in the pack house. If they saw me carry her in they would know for sure that she was my mate due to the fact that I never showed affection to females. I didn't know if I was ready for my pack to know I had a mate.

I grabbed her shoulder and gave her a shake.

"Hey. Wake up."

She let out a little moan and fidgeted in her sleep.

Cute.

I shook her harder. "Wake up!"

"What do you want?!" She barked at me with her eyes still closed.

I chuckled and shook my head.

Unbelievably sassy. Even in her sleep.

"We're here. Let's go inside.

She groaned and then whined, "I'm tired!"

"I am too. So let's go inside so we can both sleep."

She stayed still as if absorbing my words until she lifted both her arms straight up. She was asking me to carry her.

I stayed still just looking at her arms. My brain was telling me to stick to the plan and not carry her in, while my body was telling me that it would feel great to carry her and my wolf was yelling at me to not deny my mate's request.

2 against 3

I carried her in.

The look on my fellow pack members' faces when they saw me carrying a female into the pack house was way past shock. I even had one of my warriors come up to me and ask,

"Do you want me to take her off your hands?"

He was pulled away by a girl who harshly whispered in his ear,

"You idiot! That's his mate!"

I walked a little faster, not enjoying the attention I was getting until I reached my room. I was about to go in when I froze outside the door and my mate physically stiffened in my arms. I looked down to find her looking back up at me with eyes wide in shock.

"Y-you can put me down now." She whispered.

I put her down and she straightened her clothing and hair.

"I just didn't want to walk in here and start getting slammed with questions, so thanks..." She explained.

She sounded so nervous, as if she wasn't sure what to do. Hell, I wasn't sure what to do...

"It's no problem. It's not like it's hard to carry you."

Lameeeee.

She rolled her eyes and let out a chuckle, trying to feign confidence even though her cheeks were red.

"Well thanks, Casanova. But seriously where am I gonna be staying?"

I stiffened.

Invite her to stay with me or guest room?

But like the last time she made the choice for me.

"Is that your room? Thank God! I need a shower!" She exclaimed as she pushed past me and walked in leaving me confused and shocked.

"Nate!"

At the same time she went into my room Craig stepped into the hallway and came running up to me.

Oh crap...

"You brought the girl?"

I felt my face blush at the thought of her currently taking a shower in my room.

Dammit, Nate! You're a man! Men don't blush!

"Dude, she must be hot! You're as red as a tomato."

I rubbed my hands all over my face and groaned.

No use in hiding it.

"She's more than just a hot girl, Craig..."

He looked confused for a second until he finally understood and his mouth hung open.

"Holy shit on a stick! That's your mate!"

I rolled my eyes at him, (insert sarcasm) "Really?!"

"Do not sass me right now, Nate. You're living breathing mate is currently in your room. Possibly half naked."

I turned even redder as I covered my face again.

"Craig. Shut the f-"

But he continued.

"I'm just trying to process this right now, man. No one thought you would have a mate and even if you did we all thought you would reject her! This is great! Do you realize that I just won over 300 dollars worth of bets?! Laura's gonna be so-"

"Wait. You placed bets on my love life."

His grin got even wider and he put his hand on my shoulders.

"I never bet against you, man."

He then turned and walked away and yelled out, "Have fun!"

That son of a bîtch...

But I had to do deal with him later. Right now I had bigger issues to deal with...
