Broken mate

Chapter 3

BLAKES POV

We just arrived outside the boarder of my pack my father took the truck down the gravel road as gently as he could as not to disturb Taylor, she was still passed out. I'd already phoned my mother to meet me in my room and bring the pack doctor, I told her what I could about Taylor that she was my mate and that she's human even though she had wolf parents I knew my mother wouldn't mind shes human herself and I couldn't be prouder of her she stood as strong as wolf when needed and she was a wonderful Luna and everyone respected her all the same. Once we reached the pack house I lifted Taylor out the truck carefully and walked up the two flights of stairs to my room. my mother and the pack stood waiting for us she'd already filled the doctor in on what I'd told her I placed taylor on the soft black satin sheets on my bed the pack doctor looked to me and my father " I'm going to need you both to leave" she was nervous to ask so she continued with pleading eyes "I need to undress her so I can tend to her would I think she would appreciate keeping her dignity, your mother can stay I will need her help" I nodded me and my father left the room. I lead back against the wall and rubbed my face I just needed her to be ok iv searched every pack in US looking for my mate I'd almost given up I can't lose her now. my father must of noticed my desperation he placed his hand on my shoulder to reassure me "I'm sorry your hurting son but she will pull through, she's survived this long she's definitely a fighter stay positive" I placed my hand on top of his unable to speak I knew he was right she had to pull through this there's so to life I want to give her. My mother came out the bedroom door pulling me from my thoughts "is she alright" I quickly went toward her " she's going to be ok the doctor has taken some bloods and is now dressing her wounds to stop infection." My mother shook her head and continued "that poor girl has been through so much the doctor said some of the scars are years old, how long had she been suffering like this." Just the thought of someone hurting her causes my wolf to stir in anger "I'm not sure hopefully when she wakes and when she ready to we can talk about it. Did the doctor when she would wake" my mother shook her head " it all depends on her now she passed out from exhaustion due to the amount of injuries that was inflicted on her all we can do now is wait" I nodded " mother can ask you one more favour" "of course you can" could you fetch some of Avas pyjamas and change Taylor into them the doctor was right it would be more dignified for Taylor if you did it and I'm sure Ava won't mind us pinching a pair" she pulled me into a hug " son you didn't have to ask I was about to do that anyway" I smiled down at her " thanks mom I'll back in minute I'm just going to get some things from the office to bring to the room I'm not going to be leaving her till she wakes" she nodded and both went our separate ways. As I made my way to office I mind linked my future bata Danny 'meet me in the office' I walked in the office and began packing up the laptop and some paperwork that needed to be done as Danny walked in "hey what's up man your mom told me about your mate how is she" I knew she would of told him that's why the pack house is empty bet she told him to clear everyone out for while "she's going to be alright I think, she's still not woken so I'm going be staying in my room till she wakes but I need you to do something, maybe your father can help with it to" sure man anything" I need you to find out everything can about the crescent river pack and everyone in it as from now they are under investigation until Taylor wakes and decides there punishment" he looked stern "no worries we will get right on it and anything else you or our Luna needs just link me" it made me smile that he'd already accepted her as his Luna Danny wasn't just my bata he was my best friend he'd always had my back and I'd always had his growing up together, he was like a brother to me "thanks man keep me updated on anything of interest that you find" "will do" I went back to my room and knocked on the door my mother shouted "it's fine you can come in she's ready" I walked in room and looked straight at Taylor my mother had chosen a pastel purple silk night gown for her she looked so beautiful in it my mother was just pulling the covers over her the walked over to me " she beautiful son I so happy you met your mate hopefully soon this will be a distant memory for you both" I hoped that she was right " I'll be back in the morning with the pack doctor she going to need her dressing changed so I will change her clothes at the same time" my mother always thought of everything "thanks mom" "my dear you don't have to thank me".

It had already been three days since we arrived at the pack house and Taylor still hadn't woken she had screamed out in her sleep a few times from the night terrors but she would soon calm once I was near her. I was just going through the file Danny had delivered about the future alpha of crescent river pack I was disgusted there had been several r**e claims made against him but nothing was ever done about it I'd looked through some of the picture of the women covered in bruises they looked like they had been torchered I quickly shut the file I couldn't bare to look at it any more. mad at my self that this pack had gotten away with so much for so long I linked Danny "hey I need as much info on the alpha and Luna of crescent river we need to know as much as much as possible to take them down" he linked me back "on it" I heard movement coming from the bed I stood to check on Taylor thinking she was having another night terror when she sat up suddenly.

TAYLORS POV

I felt the light starting to flutter through my eyes through the darkness i seemed to be trapped in, I turned onto onto my back and forced my eyes to fully open as laid there and took in my surroundings a white ceiling with a black crystal chandelier I turned my head to the side black curtains hanging beside a glass door which I imagine would lead out onto a balcony I rubbed my hands over the satin sheets ‘this isn’t my room’ I could smell the sweet but muscular scent of aftershave I sat up quickly wondering who’s room I was in, as I sat up I winced at the pain of injuries I’d forgotten all about them a man rushed to my side “Taylor are you alright iv linked for the doctor to come” I’m so confused I don’t know this man, I don’t even know where I am I shuffled away from him on the bed “ who are you and where am I” he rubbed his stubble chin, his eyes had dark circles like he’d not slept for days but his eyes so dark they almost look black just like his hair as black as night had a messy look to it but his eyes held so much emotion he really looked concerned about me “I’m Blake the soon to be alpha of black moon pack I brought you here to my home” I’m still confused to why I’m here “ why am I here” “I brought you here to keep you safe please just relax till the pack doctor checks you out” I sat for a moment the last thing I remember is running to Carter I must of said his name out loud “ your friend is fine in fact he asked me take you away from there as soon as possible he was so worried about your safety you really do have a good friend” he’d really asked that I’d be taken away did that mean he didn’t want to be my friend anymore I felt the tears prick my eyes I wonder if he’d had enough of looking after me Blake could see I was becoming upset and he walked up to his desk and picked up an envelope and walked back over to the bed passing it to me “its for you Taylor Carter asked me to give it you when you woke he said he didn’t want you to think he let you go without saying goodbye” a tear escaped rolling down my cheek but before I could open the envelope there was a knock at the bedroom door “ that will be the doctor are you ok if she comes to check on you” I nodded and placed the envelope under my pillow as Blake went and opened the big oak door a tall woman walked in with bright red hair that was curled on the ends and bright green eyes she looked so beautiful and young. Blake must of seen me looking at her “ this is Maddie the pack doctor she’s the best healer around” I stayed quiet and just nodded” the doctor came closer to me “ hi Taylor iv been tending to your wounds whilst you’ve been sleeping and they are healing really well, your lucky you haven’t had any infections but I think the dressing should be alright to come off today” I just nodded along still trying to process everything “right then first things first how’s your pain before I start taking the dressing off I can give you some painkillers if you need some” I shook my head “no painkillers please” I hated taking medication it always made me feel worse and clouded my head she nodded “ok if you could lean forward for me I’ll start removing the dressing” I did as I was told and she began removing the dressings from my Back i fidgeted with discomfort as she was finishing taking the bandages off my back the pain got a little to much and I let out a whimper, as soon as I’d let it out I heard a deep frightening growl my eyes shot to where it had come from and landed on Blake he looked so angry his hands were in tight fists at his side he took a step forward I naturally shuffled away and he stopped he’s face now full of regret “ I need to go, I’ll be back soon iv linked my mother to come and bring you some clothes she will help with anything you need whilst I’m gone” and he stormed out the room. The doctor slid my top back down “ he didn’t mean to scare you he just didn’t like to see his mate in pain this is all new to him” MATE! I’m his mate how could that be I’m only human the doctor must see the confusion in my face and knew she’d said something she wasn’t supposed to “I need to go now but if you need me for anything please don’t hesitate to ask” and she quickly ran from the room. Why hadn’t Blake mentioned it , that he was my mate was he ashamed of me, I am only human and he’s the alpha of the strongest pack and all the packs in the US maybe he’s going to reject me I wouldn’t blame him someone as weak and broken as me couldn’t possibly fit the Luna description. There was a gentle knock at the door “come in” it must be Blake’s mother, she opened the door and stepped inside closing the door behind her she looked so elegant and graceful her short light brown hair falling just above her shoulders her eyes also light brown but look golden in the light she had faint ageing lines but still looked young “ hi Taylor I’m Blake’s mother Cassandra but everyone calls me Cassie I’m so glad your finally awake how are you feeling” she seems so nice and friendly “ I’m alright a little sore but I’ll be fine”

“Oh sweetie would you like me to get you something for the pain” she asked so softly “ no I think I’ll be alright” “ alrighty then iv brought you some clothes up iv borrow them from Ava she Blake’s sister she’s away until tomorrow but she so excited to meet you she’s extremely happy that her big brother has finally found his mate” so it is true then I’m his mate I sighed she must have noticed “what’s the matter my dear” I could ask her I’m sure she’d tell me the truth “ ermm when he rejects me would I stay in this pack or would I go back to my old pack” she looked at me like I’d lost my mind and chuckled “ohh no dear he’s not going to reject you he’s been searching for his mate since he was 16 he though he would never find you even better now that he’s 18 and about to take the role as alpha to take you as his Luna by his side why would think he’d reject you” I picked at the satin sheet in front of me “well I don’t really fit in with the wolfs I mean look at me” why would you say that sweetie” “my eyes and my hair there odd and the fact I have no wolf I just wouldn’t fit especially as Luna I’m a freak” she looked saddened by my statement “sweetie please don’t ever think of yourself like that you are beautiful especially with your hair and eyes I’m truly amazed by them and I should tell you I’m human and everyone has always commented on what exceptional Luna iv been, Luna isn’t about the the wolf you have it’s about your strong spirit not a strong wolf”

I nodded I just needed time alone to sort through everything in my head I told her “I think I’m going to take a shower and have a lay down there’s been a lot to take in today” she smiled at me like she Understood that I needed time alone “right I’ll leave you to get sorted sweetie but I’m here if you ever need me for anything” I smiled back at her I know I’m going to really like her she’s so warm and welcoming and with that she left.

I finally found the bathroom after opening three other doors in Blake’s large bedroom I turned on the water to the shower and got undressed and stepped under the spray of hot water it stung my wounds at first but it soon eased my body felt so relaxed once I’d washed I stepped out and dried myself I put on the leggings cassie had brought me but they hung loosely due to my small frame but they would do I’d already swapped the pink strap girly top for one of Blake’s hoodies hoping he wouldn’t mind I loved the comfort of hoodies. I went and sat back on the bed not sure what to do now then I remembered the letter from Carter I quickly grabbed it from under my pillow and tore open the envelope and started to read it

Dear Taylor

I’m sorry you had to leave without a proper goodbye but once I’d found out that alpha Blake was you mate and he wasn’t going to reject you I had to get him to take you away from here to keep you safe. I love you and it kills me to see you hurt I know your going be happy now and free I told you, you were destined for better things I can’t wait to see you grow into the strong woman iv always known you are. Just promise me you will move on from this and look to your very bright and happy future

Love you

Carter xxxx
