The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 4

{Jenna}

"And why might you need to kill me?" I inquired, rolling my eyes and paying more attention to my nails. This seemed to aggravate them even more.

"I ask the questions around here." He stated, "Besides, even if I told you, you wouldn't be left alive to tell the tale."

"I wouldn't count on it." I lifted up a finger and a flame erupts from it. My eyes flash an angry red and it has become clear that I brought no peace.

Benjamin waves his arm towards the rogues, signaling them to attack while he stayed behind and watched. In an instant, all 4 Rogues pounced on me but I slipped away before they reached me. 

Full frontal attacks are not the best tactic. You expose yourself and give the enemy a chance to observe your weaknesses. That is something I never leave room for.

I yawned as I kept sliding away whenever the rogues pounced on me, "Are you done yet? I never my beauty sleep."

Suddenly my ears perked up, although I was in a human form a fox could always detect his or her mate from afar. Using a tatic my aunt taught me I was in Brandon's POV. He was running through the woods with his friend. They were very close and I couldn't risk him finding out about my true being. Or else, I could be found dead in the next few hours...

I snapped my fingers and slowly my gold hair returned along with my piercing blue eyes and tan skin. My lips turned their normal peachy color and my nails decreased in size, turning a peach color as well.

"What's wrong?" Benjamin smirked, "Cat got your tongue."

Even if I didn't respond the rogues would attack me in any second. Their stance was tensed, anyone could see that they were ready for attack. So either way, I would get hurt but I won't die due to the fact that Brandon was at close proximity.  "Not likely," I responded, closing my eyes as the rogues jumped on me.

'He's here!' Angel said excitedly, not caring that we were getting beat the life out of us.

The rogues kept throwing punch after punch. One of which land brutally on my lips- bruising it. They scratched, punched, kicked, and bit but I kept a smile plastered on my face thinking, 'Fools, they don't know what was coming.'

Benjamin finally picked on the presence of an Alpha which was Bradon declared, "Let's go, she'll be dead after this!"

One of the rogues gave me one final blow to the head, knocking me out.

{Brandon}

I raced through the woods, my heart pounding in my ear. I only met this girl once and she already got me fearing her loss. I couldn't ignore the constant whines of Wolfgang:

'Save her you, i***t!' or

'Run faster, time is ticking!' 

It only added to my frustration about her. I didn't even know her name but she already has me head over heels for her. But I just couldn't love her, I had to keep my distance. But this bond is making my head spin and heart beat faster for her. 

Once I and Sam entered the clearing in which the complex was in the smell of blood was dreadful. But it wasn't just anyone's blood, it was her's. I howled painfully running to the source of the smell. It smelled like blood mixed in with her scent of roses and honey.

By following the scent I was led to a patio right behind an apartment. There was a table that had been thrown to the side and two broken chairs with specks of blood. I lowered my eyes and forced myself to look at the sight a few feet from me.

There she was, all beaten, battered, and bruised. Wolfgang let out a whimper, clearly affected by seeing his mate in this state. She was deathly pale and was not moving an inch. Her full lips were bruised and busted but they were slightly parted. She had scratched everywhere with a major gash on her cheek. Her arms were filled with bruises and her red halter top was lifted high enough for me to see more gashes on her stomach. The worst part of all of this was that there were glass and roses littered around her. Someone clearly threw the vase to her head because she was surrounded by a pool of blood. That made my blood boil. She looked like a delicate, fragile angel put to rest in the most brutal way. She looked gorgeous even in the state she was in. 

I whimper and lifted her face with my snout. That only caused her face to fall back limp but to my wolf's dismay. I swiftly but delicately picked her up by her shirt and placed her gently on my back. She looked as fragile as those roses scattered on the floor.

I ran past Sam, heading straight to the packhouse. This, of course, causes him to mind-link me, 'Where are you going?'

I respond, 'Bringing my mate to the pack doctor. Investigate whatever happened here. '

I closed that mind-link and contacted a nurse in the pack, 'Tell Dr. Alyssa we have an injured... person...and that I need her to be ready by the time I get there.'

'But she's in the middle of a surgery.' The nurse trod carefully.

I growled in the mind-link, 'TELL HER THE LIFE OF HER FUTURE LUNA IS AT STAKE!'

I cut the nurse off immediately as she began to stir on my back. "Tyler?"

My bodied tensed up filled with jealousy at the mention of the name of another male. She jerked her arm forward and to my dismay began petting me saying, "No, you're my Brandon. My mate." And she fainted.

The words  'My mate' that came out of her lips made my wolf stir with excitement. I couldn't deny that it brought me joy as well. But I reminded myself to keep my distance from her.

I arrived at the packhouse were Dr.Alyssa bursted out of the door taking my mate away from me, causing me to growl. I was still in wolf form so I followed Alyssa until she reached the door that says, 'NO UNAUTHORISED ENTRY'. 

"You can't come in." She stated.

"What do you mean? I HAVE TO BE WITH HER." I growled out but she didn't flinch.

"Unless you morph back and change then you may come back and I'll notify you anything that happens with...our Luna."

I stiffened at the words. Usually, they only referred to Eve as the Luna. She was my mistress.

The last thing I heard as the doors closed behind my mate was a whimper and that drove me insane.
