Is it love, or is it hell??

Chapter 10: Saving my MATE

Letting my wolf take over, we ran and kicked the solid wooden door down, right off its hinges..

"WHAT THE f**k" Skull yelled

He came running from another room which I failed to notice as I am boiling with rage and fury..

"WHERE IS MY MATE" I yelled in my Alpha tone

"Hahahahahhahahahaha" he laughs

"Your mate, last time I checked she came with me willingly"

"She's still my goddamn mate, whether she came to you willingly or not dammit" I yell

My fists are bawled against my sides, nostrils flaring, my heart is thudding in my chest

"Let her go and I will be easy on you" I say

"Are you kidding me, you damn fucken wolf shifters think us humans must be scared of you just because your a dog" he huffs

A small smile forms on my lips, a loud growl escapes my mouth

"Id be careful if I were you, my wolf doesn't like woman beaters and he surely doesn't like being called a damn dog" I say

"D... Dom, is that you" my mate says

I whip my head to the side and see her sitting in the corner with her knees pulled up to her chest.. She looks like death, her hair is filthy and messed up, her eyes are red and swollen from crying, black streaks run down her face from her make-up, her sexy fitted dress is torn and dirty, her left eye is black and purple and she has a cut above her lip with some dry blood..

"You fucken bastard, lay one hand on her again and I will kill you" I say

Skull turns his head back to me and he smiles, the sick bastard just smiles

"Well, well, I am truly touched by your love story going on here, but I have some work to do" he says

He turns around to go back into the room and before he can close the door I grab him by his arm..

"What the..?"

"You forget, us dogs have super speed, sensitive smell and hearing" I say

My claws now extended I wrap my hand around his neck, squeezing his throat, he tries to kick and hit me but fails..

"Pll...please" he begs

"Please what you scumbag, did you think twice to let my mate go when she begged like you are now"

No doubt my eyes are black, I am pushing my wolf down from shifting, this place is far to small and I cannot have my mate more injured..

"Carmen baby" I say

"Ye..Yes Dom"

"Can you move, are you hurt anywhere else, can you get up for me" I ask

"I...I think I can move" she says

Not taking my eyes of Skull

"You know what dog, kill me if you want to, I had my share with the mutt over there, I f****d her good, raw but good" he says

And I do not think twice, snapping his neck and dropping to the floor like a bag of potatoes.

Rushing over to my mate with speed, I pick her up in my arms, inhaling her scent which immediately calms my wolf.

She rests her head on my chest, her heart is beating, slowly but its beating..

"Baby"

No answer from my mate, she must have passed our from exhaustion.

Leaving the abandoned building and making my way over to the car, I gently place her on the back seat on my pillow and cover her with my blanket.

Getting in the car and turning to go back home, I take one last look in the rear mirror, I will do anything from this day forward to protect the people I love, and my mate..

4 Hours later....

When we got home, I ran a nice hot bath with some coarse salt mixed with bicarbonate of soda into the water to help clean the nasty cuts on her beautiful body.. She has been in and out of consciousness but awake to know that I undressed her and placed her in the bath, I sat by her side, letting water run along her back, washing her and taking care of her.

Small moans escape her mouth , that's all she manages to say, no doubt she is exhausted.

After dressing her in some night wear, I take her over to the bed and place her inside, gently covering her bruised skin with the light blanket.

I have prepared some soup for her while she is sleeping, some nice chicken soup with some crushed pain killers inside, don't want to battle with her or fight, female wolfs can be a handful.

After showering myself and getting something to eat, I make my way over to the bed and climb in next to my mate..

I lay there watching her sleep while thoughts are running through my mind, a list of this to do when she wakes, I need our pack Dr to come and take a look at her, she is very bruised by her vaginal are, no doubt that bastard forced himself on her..

Watching her sleep is the best therapy ever to calm my nerves, she is beyond beautiful, her long shiny black her sprawled out on my pillow, her once soft skin now covered in visible bruises, her eyes are so tired, dark circles and sunken in..

Switching of the bedside lamp, I turn to face my mate, how will she react in the morning when she wakes up, will she still sleep for hours???? I need to convince her to move in with me so that I can protect her, will she love me?????

I need to stop thinking of these silly things and get some rest, tomorrow will be a challenging day..

And as I drift of to sleep I hear my mate talk in her sleep...

"Dom.. Where are you, I need you"

Smiling to myself, I close my eyes and fall into a deep slumber thinking of my future with my mate...
