Loving Shiloh

Chapter 7: Soulmate

...Shane POV....

(Callum: Alpha! You need to see this.)

(Shane: What is it Cal?)

(Callum: You have to see for yourself, I'll meet you at the hospital.) I grumbled as I picked up the paperwork I was doing while my brother was away looking for his mate. I walked over to the pack hospital wondering what the hell Callum could have found in the woods while on patrol. Once I got there I found my first warrior sitting on the edge of his seat looking down the hallway, he turned his head and smiled when he saw me walking toward him. 

"Alpha, follow me." He said springing up and leading me down to a room, we walked in as Doctor Lane was looking over a small body on the bed. I walked over to her and noticed her pale face was scrunched up in agony. 

"What the....?" I said looking at Callum. 

"When I found her she acted feral, but she ended up passing out. I can't feel her wolf either, but she smells like one of us Alpha." I could see that Callum was worried about the small wolf. 

"Alpha, Mister Callum, it seems that this wolf drank a wolfsbane cocktail. I also see what looks like an acid burn on her left shoulder. It's possible she poured the wolfsbane on her skin." Doctor Lane said looking down at the small wolf. 

"Why would any wolf do that Doc?" I asked. 

"I can only think of two things, either remove an unwanted bond or suicide, seeing as she has the burns on her shoulder, I would say she was removing an unwanted and perhaps forced mark and bond." I sighed loudly. Just then my phone pinged as a notification sounded, I pulled out my phone and looked at the email I had received. 

{Dear Alpha's, I am requesting your assistance. While I was off assisting a neighboring pack with a blood rouge issue my little mate went missing. I have tried using my mate bond to find her, but the rouges or whoever took her must have blocked her from me somehow. Please, please, please help me find my Shiloh. I need her, she is my girl.

  Alpha Harlem Creed.}

"Did she have anything else with her?" I was handed and black backpack. I set it at her feet and opened the big pocket and pulled out a salt and pepper shaker, pair of moccasins, tampon box, and finally found a wallet. I opened it and found the license I was looking for, she looked a lot paler now and much thinner. 

"Shiloh....what happened to you?" I said under my breath. "Callum, call Stephen. He and Malachai need to come home, I have a feeling we're gonna need them here sooner or later." I put the salt and pepper shaker along with the rest her things in the bag save for her wallet which I pocketed. 

"May I ask why Alpha?" He asked as I set the bag on the floor gingerly. 

"I'll explain later." Callum nodded and left the room while he made the call, I walked to the small wolf's head and moved some of her hair away from her face. Her skin was cold and she looked extremely emaciated, I noticed she had freckles littered on her cheeks and nose. 

'Maximus, can you feel her wolf?'

(I can feel her wolf, but she is in extreme amounts of pain.) Max whimpered. (We need to protect this wolf Shane, something bad has happened to her.)

I sighed outwardly and nodded before walking out to the waiting room where Callum was speaking to Doctor Lane. They both looked over at me and bowed before Doctor Lane spoke. 

"Alpha, I think you should go get some rest. I'll let you know when she wakes up." I nodded once. 

"Alpha Stephen and Malachai are on their way back, but they are not exactly pleased." He groaned. 

"They'll understand when they see her condition. She looks like a f*****g skeleton, no wolf should look that bad. Go rest, we'll have our hands full with her once she wakes up." Callum nodded and we both walked to our respective homes. I went up into bed and slid under the blankets next to the love of my life and filled her in on the days events. 

"You think she was abused by her mate don't you?" She asked once I was finally done speaking. 

"I do. I think he forced his mark on her and she fled when she was able to. Max said her wolf is in pain, extreme amounts of it too." I sighed and ran my hand up and down her back while Pearl kissed my side. I fell into a state of deep sleep within minutes, worrying could wait until the next day. 

At around 1:00pm I had just finished training and was heading to the office when Doctor Lane mindlinked Callum and myself. 

(DL: Our patient is awake, you should get here asap, I think she'll bolt if given the chance.) Callum met me at the hospital and we walked into her room, I don't know what I was expecting, but it was not for her small frame to be snarling at Callum and I threateningly while barring her teeth. 

(She is terrified.) Max said, I was shocked, usually when a wolf disrespected him like that he would go all hulk. 

Once I was able to get her to talk I had Callum get Pearl along with a cup and a blade. Once she asked for my phone we went out into the hall to quietly monitor her call. I filled Pearl in on everything she told Callum and I through our mind-link. I could feel her wolf storming round in fury, Max internally chuckled at his mates reaction, he was proud of her protectiveness toward the new wolf. 

We brought Shiloh to Malachai's room in the pack house seeing as he was away and no wolf in our pack was stupid enough to touch his things. Once she was set up Pearl and I went into our room and got ourselves ready for dinner. We were in the middle of releasing some pent up energy when my phone rang, I quickened our pace and we finished by the second time someone called. I answered on the third ring. 

"Hello." I said breathlessly. 

"Shane, Callum called and told us we needed to come home, but he wouldn't tell me why. So explain." My cranky brother said through the line. 

"I can't tell you over the phone, just know I wouldn't pull you away from looking for your mates unless it was important, which it is." I said with a sigh while Pearl hopped in the shower. 

"Why can't you tell me over the phone?" 

"Because it's not safe, like I said I'll explain when you get here." I sighed before hanging up. Once I was done I hopped in the shower with Pearl. When she was done she went and got dressed before heading out to grab Shiloh, I followed behind her. When Shiloh walked out of the room in Malachai's baggy clothing I smiled, she looked good in his stuff. She was introduced to Gilly and I could see how uncomfortable she was in the hall with Callum and I. We brought her to the mess hall and got our dinner, I was thankful she was able to control her hunger long enough for Pearl and I to take the first bite. 

I was happy when she made a small joke and sent me a tiny smile, though I was a bit confused as to why she suddenly shut down. She wrapped herself up and I was pulled away from my conversation with my wife. 

(I think she is envious of our bond with our mate.) Max said as she left the room. I sighed and looked over at Pearl who was looking at the door. 

"I think it's hard to see a happily mated couple when her mate was a disaster." She nodded and sighed. We stood and left the dining room and went to our room where Pearl got outfits ready for shopping the next day. 

"I really hope she has a second chance, no one deserves the path she was thrown down." I nodded and sighed and layed down with my love on my chest. We both fell into a deep slumber until our door banged open and two large figures walked in. 

"Lights on." Malachai warned before turning on the light. I covered my eyes and sat up before sighing and looking at the two. "Now why are we here?" He growled not giving a f**k that I was an Alpha. 

"Open your minds." I showed them Shiloh and everything surrounding her. I refocused myself to see both men seething. 

"We met Harlem on the road, I knew something was fishy about that bastard." Stephen growled. 

"Why is he not dead yet?" Malachai asked his eyes a deep shade of black as his wolf joined him in rage. 

"Because, we need to protect Shiloh. You'll understand when you see her for the first time, speaking of you two need to chill. She is understandably terrified of the male species." I warned. 

"Oh Malachai, you either have to go home or sleep in a different room. Shiloh is in yours seeing as no one would bother her in there." Pearl said from beside me. Malachai nodded and clenched his jaw a few times before turning and walking away. 

"I'm only asking for two weeks Steph, then you can go back out on the road." He nodded and turned off the lights before shutting the door. "I hope they don't terrorize her." I said falling back onto my mattress.

......Malachai POV......

When Stephen and I walked into the pack house we were instantly greeted by a very excited and aroused Meli, we ignored her and went straight up the Shane's room even though my wolf Enapay told me to go to our room. 

Once we walked in I warned him about the lights as he and his mate sat up, once they were adjusted we got to why we were here. By the time Shane was done showing Stephen and I the situation both Enapay and I wanted to see Harlem's blood on our hands. A mate as gorgeous as her deserves to be treasured! 

"..you two need to chill, she is understandably terrified of the male species." Shane warned while pointing and glaring at us. I nodded and clenched my jaw before leaving and heading to the woods and shifting into Enapay and releasing all my pent up rage. When we were done, I grumbled forgetting about what Pearl had said. I walked into my bedroom and her incredible scent hit me, Pine and vanilla. I grabbed a pair of boxers and walked over to the left side of the bed where her small frame was curled into a ball hugging my pillow. 

I huffed before heading to the closet and grabbing a spare blanket and walking out to the living room where I passed out on the couch, unwilling to leave her unprotected. She was mine now, and I was going to show her how much of treasure she really was.
