What’s Left Of Me

New Day, New Sky.

Chapter Two: New Day, New Sky.

POV: Hazel 

I woke up in a hospital, not hooked to anything just sleeping. I stood up and stretched. I walked to the bathroom, as soon as I got in there I locked the door. I got into the shower and put on some fresh clothes that were in my suitcase. I found it in the closet that was in the bathroom. I brush my hair and straighten it. 

I might as well look presentable, I have a feeling the alpha might kill me I’d I hurt his mate. With my long blonde hair straight, and I have a nice summer dress on, I decide to put on some light makeup. As I finish, I hear screaming outside my door. Before I could open the door to find out what’s happening, the door comes flying open. I stood there with my mouth open. 

The most gorgeous man I have ever seen stands before me. He is tall and his muscles threaten to split his shirt open. He has short dark hair and a short beard. My mind is nowhere, he looks as stunned as I am. When he stands up straight gaining his composure, I do the same. My wolf is trying to tell me something to open communication with her, she loves to talk a lot. Unlike most wolves.

“What is it Faith?” 

She jumps up and down and says, “MATE! MATE! MATE!” I quickly close her out and gulp loudly. 

This man in front of me, is my mate? I sniff and it all checks out. What I don’t get..he oozes power. He is an alpha? That can’t be right. I look ahead and he steps closer. I try to back up and he starts to come forward even more. 

 He and I are face to face, he has me pinned up against the wall. He shoves his head between my shoulder and my neck and takes a deep breath. He whispers in my ear, “Mine.” 

It takes him a hot minute before he says, “Who are you getting dressed for?”

I’m a nervous wreck so I start talking extremely fast, “ Well You see, when I fainted. I heard you scream, mate down. Basically, and I thought I hurt someone while fainting so, I thought if you were going to kill me…I might as well be killed with having a shower and looking nice.” 

He looks at me like he is trying to search for any hint of….lying? What has happened to him to make him think I was lying? I felt a small pain in my heart. 

I look down and he growls, demanding me to look at him. I don’t submit to him, he slams his hand into the wall behind my head making me flinch. I jump accidentally, knocking into him. He holds me by the waist and picks me up. 

He holds me extremely close, but he is moving fast. Before I know it, I’m in this big beautiful room. It’s all black and red. He puts me on the bed and walks to the door. 

Before, he could leave I say, “ wait! Please talk to me for a minute?” He just huffs and leaves slamming the door behind him. I get up to go after him… the door is locked. a**. 

I lean back in the headboard and a little old lady with a huge cart of food comes in and says, “eat up, before it gets cold.” She leaves as fast as she comes in. I stand up making my way to the cart, to think about it, I am starving. 

I dig in, there is still so much left on this tray. I’m assuming he hasn’t eaten so I’ll save the rest for him. I sit down on this couch that is in the middle of the room, I look around trying to memorize every single detail. I kick my shoes off and bring my knees to my chest. For the first time in a while, I lose myself. 

By that I mean, I break down completely. Other than when Shelly got shot, I’m completely broken right now. First of all, My parents are missing, or dead, Shelly is gone, I’m in this new pack, I’ve lost communication with my friends and family back in New York, I found my mate.... who seems to Hate me and (or) doesn’t want me....could I be missing anything else...Oh yes, wait...PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO KILL ME. Why? No clue...

I think I deserve this moment of breakdown. I eventually cry myself into a dreamless sleep. I feel movement around me but I ignore it. I just continue with ignoring everything for the moment, I’m still not In the right state of mind.

POV: Eric

Earlier that Day.......

I get an Emergency call from Patrick Domain. Patrick and my dad were the best of friends, although Patrick was a unique type of alpha, they still got along with one another. They met at a future alpha of the world boot camp when they were teenagers since then they always kept in contact. A fun fact apparently, his Mate Luna Sidney is from this pack. 

My dad is on a trip to Asia right now, and I’ve taken over the alpha position a year ago. This emergency call was alarming, to say the least. Something about him not being able to protect his daughter or his pack. He is asking for us to take his daughter into our pack and protect her. 

I normally would turn something like this away, because it’s normally a ploy for me to marry another alphas daughter or just something of that nature, it’s one of my dads closest allies and though Sidney is a Luna to another pack, this is still her home, so I accept. 

There are a few things that stick out to me about this situation, why trouble has Patrick gotten himself into that caused him to send his only daughter to Paris with every single penny that he had? Why has his only line of communication been cut completely?

I haven’t met Patrick’s daughter, though we have thrown a few parties and he has made an appearance with his wife, Luna Sidney, their daughter never made an appearance. When my dad brought her up, asking where she is her dad just sighs and had a sad look on his face and says, “ She is just like her old man and mom, a workaholic. She is in the middle of starting her own company so she wanted to stay home. To be honest with you she isn’t interested in being the alpha of my pack, she will step up and look for her mate when the time comes. I trust in her. Though she has been putting off getting a mate for a while.” 

That is something I can relate to. I do in fact want a mate, but everything is just getting started for me. Well, it was, that was about a year ago, maybe a year and a half.

My ideas of a mate had changed, I want my mate now. Not like I would have a choice when I meet her but the longer I wait the more my wolf is getting aggressive. 

I had a few omegas prepare a room for her on our guest floor until I figure out what exactly is happening with her dad and pack back home. I had a few private investigators look into what’s going on in New York. In a few days hopefully, we will figure something out. Well, that’s what I was hoping anyway.....

It’s hit the next day and she should be here soon only an hour away, I ate my breakfast, took a shower, and got dressed. Easy sailing, Right? Something felt off. I stepped on the front porch with my beta Ben, we were laughing about something when the car that had Patrick’s daughter Hazel, pulled slowly down our driveway. One of our warriors who was driving her, got out and went to open her door as he touched the handle, her door come open, I couldn’t be sure if she opens it herself or he opened it for her?

 Anyway, as soon as they come to open her scent filled the air and hit me like a ton of beautiful bricks. Her scent was like freshly bloomed flowers. Not just one flower, The whole garden. 

My wolf was doing some spins in my head yelling, “MATE, SHE IS MY MATE, SHE IS OUR MATE.” 

 My eyes had to narrow in on her, I wanted to run, then come back when I was calmed down. I can’t do that, I am an alpha, I have to introduce myself and make her feel comfortable here. 

We slowly make our way down the steps and then stop. I hear her driver running back to her side, when the door opens he just walked around to grab her bags, but seen she was about to fall then started running back to her. 

Though I was further away, I made it to her side just as quick as he did, while running what I said caught everyone off guard, “GET THE PACK DOCTOR MY MATE COLLAPSED!” 

I picked her up in my arms, she was almost limp in my arms. The pack doctor met me halfway, and we both went into the room while he took a look at her. 

My mate is just Extremely Exhausted and dehydrated. We let her sleep and get some rest then I’ll take her back to the packhouse and let her eat. We have much to discuss, but that can wait until she feels better. Looking at my sleeping mate makes me think back to when she got here. As soon as she stepped out of the car, all eyes were on her....even the warrior who drove her. This makes me growl to myself. 

My mate is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on. I can only imagine what the Unmated wolves were thinking. I make myself a big annoyed and eventually fall asleep. I wake up and sniff, my mate isn’t in the room. 

With falling asleep grumpy and then waking up to no mate in sight I panic, my wolf and I go crazy. I search the room for her and nothing I top and listen carefully. There is light movement in the bathroom. 

I waste no time and bust through the door, there she is. She has a shocked look on her face but it’s quickly replaced with a straight, no emotional look. I took her from head to toe. Her blonde hair is long and straight it goes to her hips, she is wearing a strapless baby blue dress that makes her curves look even better. She has the lightest of Makeup on...WAIT A MINUTE! Why? Who is she getting dressed up for? 

She has been here a total of 4 hours and awake for 3 minutes...WHO COULD HAVE Caught her eye in that short amount of time? My wolf is slightly taking over at the thought, we stalk close to her pinning her against the wall behind her. 

 I couldn’t help it, my wolf and I decided to get a better sniff of her. I shove my head between her neck and shoulder, where my mark will be placed. I feel her relax underneath my touch. I growl out, “Mine” in her ear to let her know, she is my mate. My wolf growl out, “Who are you getting dressed up for?” 

Then pulls me back so we can get a better look at her. She looks at us with the biggest shocked look on her face and starts talking extremely fast, “Well You see, when I fainted. I heard you scream, mate down. Basically, and I thought I actually hurt someone while fainting so, I thought if you were going to kill me…I might as well be killed with having a shower and looking nice.” 

 It takes me a minute to process what she had said. I search her face for anything to tell me, why she is so nervous or is it she doesn’t want me? Me having this moment of doubt makes my wolf's temper even more possessive. 

 She looks down not wanting to make eye contact with me, my wolf makes us punch the wall behind her. She jumps and lands right in my arms. We grab her by the waist and run to my bedroom. I irritated my wolf enough so she is sleeping in here with me. Even If I have to sleep on the couch. I lock her in my bedroom, yes. Do I feel wrong about it, no? 

Before she can go exploring, I want everyone to know not only do we have a new pack member.... she is also my mate. Letting them know she will be joining our pack is for her safety. We protect our own so not knowing about a wolf who smells of another pack can mean death. I leave her in my room and send one of the omegas with a huge cart of food for her, I go make the pack get her in our meeting grounds to make the announcement, so no one lays a finger on or near my mate. 

Then I go to my office to draw up some paperwork. My wolf becomes uncomfortable, he feels like there is something wrong with our mate. I finish up quickly and head straight to my room, ignoring anyone who tries to be my attention. I open the door slowly and walk-in. I look around to see the cart of food half-eaten and I look for her once again and I find my mate curled up in a ball on the couch sleeping. 

I pick her up and take her to the bed. When I go to tuck her in, I noticed her eyes are red and puffy. My mate has been crying? I immediately feel a ping of guilt in my heart. I shouldn’t have left her alone. I tuck her in and I go to the Bathroom for a damp cloth to wipe the makeup off her face without waking her. Putting the cloth in the clothes hamper I walk back into the room and notice a note on top of one of the food trays. 

It was from my mate! ‘Just in case you haven’t eaten, I left it warm for you.’ Even though we don’t know each other yet, she is making sure I have eaten? 

No one has ever made sure, that I have eaten or if I’m okay. But this girl who doesn’t even know my name is wanting to make sure I’m okay. I feel kinda warm inside. What is she doing to me?
