**Willow POV**
It's been 3 days since I was captured and brought to this place. I don't know how long in between beatings but by my guess it's been 3 days. The only light I get is from the lights outside of my cell.
"Are you awake b***h?" One of the men that have been torturing me asks as he smacks me across the face. "GO TO HELL!" I yell at him. I am trying my best to stay strong and show no weakness.
"Well it's your lucky day mutt the King himself is going to have a turn with you since you won't tell us the truth", he says before smacking me again.
Why would the king take the time out of his business to come to torture me? I have done nothing wrong and I am not lying to these idiots. After the smack, they walk out of my cell and leave laughing as if they have just won a battle.
I don't know how long I wait before I finally drift off. But the next thing I hear is the door to the dungeon being swung open. I don't even try to open my eyes to see who it is. But the most amazing smell hits me. It smells of blueberries and pine.
Never in my life have I smelt something so amazing. I feel my wolf stir inside me. I open up the link to see what she has to say but all I hear is her scream "Mate".
NO that can't be. I didn't think for one moment we had a mate. Maybe he will not want us? Maybe he will reject us on sight? All these questions pop into my head all at once. I hadn't noticed a man breathing like he just ran a mile.
"OPEN THIS f*****g DOOR NOW!" He yells at his men. Two men rush to him and quickly open the door to my cell. I finally look up to see what is going on. I looked at the two men fumbling with the keys. I looked at the other man and we locked eyes.
"Mine", I growled and passed out again from the pain. I don't know much about what happened after that other than feeling my restraints ripped off me and sparks going up my body.
"It's ok little one I have you now and no one will ever hurt you again", the man whispers into my ear as I rest my head on his chest. He is carrying me I don't know where and right now I don't care.

That annoying sound is getting on my last nerve. I don't have the strength to open my eyes but I can feel someone's hand holding mine. "Please wake up little one I need you. I need my mate. I need my queen", he says softly to me as I try my best to open my eyes.
Finally, after so much effort my eyes are open but the lights are a killer. Once my vision is normal I can finally look around the room. I realize I am in a hospital. I haven't been in years not since I was a child.
I look all around the room til my eyes land on the man sitting next to me still holding my hand. "Umm excuse me but who are you?" I ask him hoping for an answer. "Well my love I am your mate", he says back smiling.
"What is your name?" I ask my voice barely above a whisper as my throat is dry I haven't had water in a few days. He quickly gets up and hands me a glass of water and I drink it down in one gulp. Much better.
"My name is Miles Stone I am the Alpha King. And your name my beautiful mate?" He asks giving a small smile. "My---- My name is Willow Rose Mason," I say to him softly. "What a beautiful name for my beautiful mate," he says back grabbing my hand once more.
"I am so sorry about everything that happened in the dungeon please forgive me. It's the protocol to torture rogues" he says with guilty eyes. "I understand I do not fault you for protecting your land and your people," I say back to him.

"Come in Doctor" Miles speaks out and in comes the doctor. "Ah well, it's good to see you awake my dear. Your wounds have all most completely healed" the doctor says as he examines me. "Nothing too serious I hope?" I ask the doctor with a little hope. "No miss nothing I couldn't handle but you will have to take it easy for a few days so bed rest for you little lady. Your ribs are still healing" he says putting my chart down.
"Thank you, so can I take my mate home now?" Miles speaks up to ask the doctor. "Yes, my King you can" the doctor replies and leaves the room. "Do you want to see your new home?" He asks and for the first time in ten years, I am not scared or alone.
"Yes, I would like that very much," I say quietly. "I had one of the omegas bring some clothes since yours were torn," he says as he holds out a pair of shorts and a shirt. "Ummm can you turn around?" I say to him and he does as I ask so I can quickly put the clothes on.
"OK you can turn around now", I say and he turns around and looks at me. "Are you ready to go?" He asks and I quickly nod. The doctor walks in a moment later to hand me my paperwork on how to treat my wounds. "Thank you, doctor," I say to him before he walks out of the room.
"Alright let's get home and get you in bed to relax," Miles says and takes my hand. I have so many questions but I won't know unless I ask.
"Umm Miles are we going to share a room?" I ask I don't want to be alone I have been alone for so long. "Yes we will unless you want to have your own room for a little while," he says back to me. "No I don't want to be alone," I say back to him so quickly he looks at me.
I am sure he has his own questions to ask and I am sure he will when the time is right.
