Wyatts POV
I made it back to my hotel room after graduation was over. I had a few business calls I needed to make and then needed to start packing for my trip back to the pack house. I hadn’t been home in three weeks and knew my pack was wondering where I kept disappearing off to. As I finished putting the rest of my clothes away, it was already dark outside. The thought of being away again from my mate was eating at me. Ever since we found our mate, I felt like I couldn’t be whole till she was marked and mine. Who knew that just meeting your other half could make you feel empty when they aren’t around? As I was heading out the door to load my stuff into my car, I could feel my wolf begin to panic. Before I could ask him what was wrong, my phone rang. I answered the call immediately, knowing it was Drew and that something wasn’t right. “what’s going on, Is Molly okay?” I answered frantically. “Alpha, its about that Shawn prick”, Drew started informing me of what he overheard from Shawn and as soon as he mentioned Molly’s virginity, Benson became unhinged and took over, “I’m going to f*****g kill him!”. I feel my bones begin to break as Benson starts to take form. I growl and try to speak as much of a complete sentence that I can before I’m full wolf “Where are they”? Bensons voice overpowered my own. “They will be meeting at a party and then driving to Upper Park sir. I will meet you there. You can’t kill the human sir. You need to be prepared for whatever happens, if Molly is to mate with the human, you are going to fee-”. “ahhhhhh” I let out one last scream before I can let my Gamma finish speaking. I could feel my fur sprouting and teeth elongating. I didn’t even try to stop the transformation. As soon as Benson finished transforming, he was off. Running faster than he ever has towards our destination, Upper Park. How could Molly do this to us? I know she is human, but the mate bond is supposed to be strong enough for even a human to feel interested with another. When I heard her whisper my name at her graduation, I thought maybe she was finally feeling the pull of the mate bond. About twenty-five minutes of non-stop running and we’ve made it to the park. Benson sticks to hiding in the shrubbery next to the road to avoid being sited by any humans. He runs for another five minutes till we see dimmed headlights off the road and on a hidden trail. I immediately recognized the little pricks truck. My heart begins to feel like it’s being squeezed, breathing becomes harder and harder to do. It’s happening, Molly is letting him touch her. Every time Molly and Shawn had their little make-out sessions, I knew. As wolves, when our mates are being physical with another, we feel immense pain and heartbreak. I could barely make it through their little kissing moments. I don’t know how I’ll be able to survive this tonight. Behind me, I saw Drew pullover and run over to us. Benson growls at him and tries to bolt towards Shawn's truck. My Gamma tackles and holds down Benson as he begins to whimper at the betrayal of our mate. I could have easily overpowered our Gamma, but with the combination of betrayal and pain, he was able to pin me. I had to fight Benson eternally and hold him down using my mind. “I know it hurts my friend, but we can’t interfere.” We finally quieted down and the next thing I knew, we heard our little mate from the truck “please stop”. Benson tenses “Did you hear her?” We waited a little longer and could overhear some of the evil s**t spewing from Shawns mouth. And I can hear our little mate begin crying. This is the first time I’ve heard her ever cry and it’s breaking my heart while also making me the angriest I’ve ever been in my life. I feel Drew jump off us and knows he is feeling just as much hatred for that fucker Shawn. Drew's Wolf is fighting to come forward and Drew has to shut down his instincts to go save his Luna, knowing full well that I’m the one who gets to have the honor to kill that Shawn bastard. My gamma rises to his feet and turns towards his car, I hear him mumble under his breath loud enough for me to hear him, “I’ll call a clean-up crew and keep the area clear of any other humans…and Benson… don’t make it quick” Drew growls over at us. Hearing those words reminds me of how proud I am for choosing Drew as my Gamma, even if he is my best friend; no one else could have been chosen to do a better job. I quickly turned around towards the truck and we charge for the driver’s side. Our mates last plea towards Shawn drowned out by Bensons angered roar. All I can see is a red blur. Benson has taken his Likan form so he can rip off the door of the old pickup. It takes us only a second to see what’s happened. Our little mate almost stripped and barely conscious. While Shawn has his shorts dangling around his ankles and is forcing himself inside our mate. “Finish him Benson” I growl. Benson has Shawn out of the truck now, snapping his limbs and trying to inflict as much pain to him before sending him to hell where he belongs. Shawn screams for about two minutes till he succumbs to his wounds. And it is done. I wish he hadn’t died so quickly now. Benson slowly gets down and begins to crawl and whimper back to the cab of the truck. “We failed mate”, Benson continues whining. “We couldn’t protect her”. Benson is back on all fours and in his wolf form. He slowly peeks into the cab where mate is still lying unconscious and I can tell by my senses that Shawn wasn’t able to finish the job. “Benson, you saved her, you got to him before he could finish r****g her. I don’t smell any blood coming from Molly. And you’ve made it so he can’t hurt her or anyone else again.” I feel Benson’s body relaxed now. “I bet the bastard has done this before” Benson lets out one final howl and lets me take over. My bones begin to crack back into place as I take my human form. I see Drew begin to jog over with some extra clothes for me since I shredded my last outfit from my shift at the hotel. “Alpha, I have a crew about ten minutes out. They will clean this up. How should we take care of Molly?”. I notice he is doing everything he can to not look towards her exposed body and I rush to my mate and immediately begin to cover her back up. “I’ll take care of Molly” I snap. “I want no one touching her but me.” As I finish her outfit back into place. I try to keep my eyes adverted from her bare skin. Feeling I’ve wronged her now that I’m touching her without her consent. “Please forgive me my little mate, I will never let you get hurt again”, I whispered to her and finished getting her completely dressed. I carried her out of Shawn's truck and headed towards the cleanup crew that had pulled up. I see the female warrior that’s been playing an undercover student at Molly’s high school has appeared with the cleanup crew. I begin to make my way towards her, knowing I can trust her and that she knows what Molly means to me, I ask her to do me this favor. “I need you to get her to the hospital, and say she was found about two miles down the road from here.” I command and carefully place my mate in the arms of the warrior. I’m not ready to let her go, but with the mess we have right now, I know we need to move fast before someone shows up. And finds Shawn's broken body. The female warrior carefully takes Molly in her arms and cradles her like I did. Even our female wolves are extremely strong, and I know she will arrive at the hospital safely. “I will protect my Luna with my life Alpha”, The female whispers to me, knowing how secretive we are trying to be with Molly’s identity still. I watched my warrior handle Molly with care and place her in the backseat of the car. The female warrior mind-links me that she will update me when they get to the hospital and then drives off back towards town. I turn back to the crime scene I’ve created. We will leave the water bottle for evidence to show Molly was drugged. We need to get rid of the body and clean up this scene so it looks like Shawn abandoned his vehicle. I head towards Drew who has found the pricks cell phone and can tell he has found something I’m not gonna like, “Let me see his phone real quick”. I order my Gamma and reach out for the small device. “It was still recording when I found it, Alpha” Drew whispers to me. I take the phone and the video begins to start over from when Shawn started the filming. The footage shows everything that happened before we got there to save Molly. I can taste blood in my mouth from my intense teeth clenching. “I wish we could kill him again”, Benson says to me. We sent the video to my email to save as evidence. And delete it off the phone. We go through the rest of Shawn's footage that he has saved and find other videos of four other victims that experienced what Molly went through. “Leave those for evidence. We want everyone to know what he’s done, so no one misses him.” I finished up my part and got into another car. I received a mind link from the female warrior when they arrived at the hospital. I thanked her and began to drive to the hospital as well. It takes us about fifteen minutes to get there. My warrior informs me that she left a police report with a fake name and number. She drives off and reports back that Molly’s parents will be contacted and should be at the hospital soon too. I sat in my car down the street from the emergency room entrance and waited for Molly’s parents to appear. “Benson, we can’t leave her again, we need to come up with a new plan”. Benson was quiet for a moment. “I have an idea, but neither one of us is going to like it”. Benson lets out a sigh of defeat. “I’ll do anything to protect her”, I chimed in to help him feel less defeated. “Call the witch, and make an appointment with her, she is the only one who can make this plan work”. Instead of explaining the plan, Benson closes the link between us, and we silently keep to ourselves. Molly’s parents had pulled up in their family SUV and I saw Molly’s mom, Kelly, jump out and rush to the entrance. Molly’s dad, Mike, jumps out as well and hands the keys off to a car chauffeur and begins to chase after Kelly, except before going inside Mike freezes. I saw Mike turn and begin to search the line of cars parked along the road. His head suddenly swiveled towards my vehicle, and I froze. Although my windows are tinted and he should not be able to see me, I swear he can sense that I’m watching him. Mike then turns away and rushes back into the hospital after his wife. Who is this Mike, fellow? All that really matters now is that Mike and Kelly are there for Molly now. I started my car and started to head towards my hotel, lost in thought of what Benson could have in mind with our witch friend.
