Sold to my Mate

Hormonal and Scared

When we got home Max told me that he was going to the rink and that he wanted me to rest at home. Although I wanted to go with them I could not argue as I was already tired and wanted to have a nap.

Up in the bedroom, I stripped out of my clothes and put Max's shirt back on. I grabbed all the blankets from the linen closet and carried them back to the bed and started to build my nest big enough for both me and Max.

Once I was finished I smiled and climbed into ith and under one of the softest blankets and started my nap.

I was awoken by gunfire ring throughout the house and I froze before climbing out of the bed slowly to make as little noise as I could. I hide under the bed and put a hand over my mouth to mask my breathing as I heard footsteps race through the house.

I stayed out under the bed as silent tears fell down my face as I curled up and put a hand on my stomach. I heard the door to the bedroom open and I saw the combat boots walk passed the edge of the bed. I held my breathe to go unnoticed as this person moved around the room before I caught the scent of Max enters the room.

"What are you doing here Ivan," Max said as I heard a gun get c****d.

"Awe Max I wanted to meet the one you left me for since he was your fated mate." the man Ivan said.

"And shooting out my lock and shooting my staff is how you want to meet him."

"You gave me no other choice since you dumped me and kicked me out of your group."

"I had my reasons and you never loved me just my title and what title you would have gotten if we mated where are Dower loves me for me."

"Then you give me no choice," he said as I heard a shot.

I saw that Max fell to his knees before shooting back at Ivan and then nothing but silence. I saw blood starting to pool and I started to move to get out from under the bed.

"Doe are you under the bed?" Max whispered as I saw his hand come under the bed.

"Y-yes I am," I answered in a whisper and took his hand as I cried.

He pulled me out from under the bed and I saw that he was bleeding from his other arm. I hugged him tightly and I looked over to the other side of the room and saw a man's corpse lying there with a bullet hole between his eyes.

I closed my eyes tightly and hid my face.

"Should we call the police?" I ask as I shake.

"We cant Doe he is from a rival gang and he was looking for you but I'm happy you hide under the bed," Max said getting up and pulled me with him.

I nodded as I heard other footsteps.

"Its okay Doe these are some of the members of our Mafia okay," Max whispered as he kissed my temple.

"And you need medical attention Maxie," I said as three men walked into our room.

They all started to snicker as they heard me call Max "Maxie" and Max glared at them.

"Sorry Boss we have never heard anyone call you that before." the first man said.

I watched them and realized that they were in suits much like the ones that Max wears most of the week.

"He needs medical attention he was shot by the asshole," I say with confidence and pointed to the corpse.

"Already called Val and she is going to stitch him up good as new." the same man said and I looked into his emerald eyes and memorized his sharp features with his black hair.

I nodded as Max went over to the bed and pushed him into the nest making him laugh.

"That worried about me?" Max asked as I started to unbutton his shirt.

"You think?" I ask rhetorically.

"I'm glad you are so strong with everything that you have found out these past few days."

"Yes well, you can chalk that up to how I was raised with my parents."

I smiled as Val walked into the room and a maid came in with a bowl of warm water with a cloth.

"Now Boss this will sting," Val said and pressed the cloth into the wound track.
