His little Mate

Chapter 7.

•Kane•

I burst through the wood line, allowing me to get a view of the beautiful packhouse that stands on the other side. I shift and rush to my room to shower. I need to come up with a plan of how to get Ray to go on at least a date with me. I messed up bad, but I also know I need to tread lightly. What I just saw back at that cabin makes my wolf want to come forward and tear everyone apart to protect her. Imagining her in that house, chained, beaten, and probably much more. I won’t force her to tell me everything just yet. She needs time on her side, when she’s ready she will let me know. As I get out of the shower and get dressed, there’s a knock on my door.

‘Hang on!’ I yell throwing my pants on and walking to the door. I open the door to be hit by that smell of lilies. I look down at my little mate, she seems unnerved like she needs to say something. I reach for her, putting my hand on her shoulder.

‘Is everything okay mate?’ I ask, drawing her eyes up to me. I see her lips part and she inhales sharply taking me in. She looks up at my face.

‘I, uh, wanted to talk to you.’ She said

‘Do come in then.’ I say opening the door further for her. Kent is running around wanting to come out to claim what is his after what we just saw.

Calm yourself, not yet. She needs time. I say to Kent

I know, it just angers me that we didn’t take her right then and there before her training even began. He growled in my head. We didn’t approach her because she needed to do her training, she needed to become the next Alpha. It was in her blood. She came in and started to walk around the room, looking as if she didn’t know where to start.

‘I came here to talk to you, about this connection. I felt that it’s my duty to put this straight. If you want to reject me, I am okay with it. With being the next Alpha in line, knowing my father will want to step down now that I am home……’ her words trailed off.

‘Hang on right there, I refuse to reject you. In fact I was going to seek you out and talk to you about this’ I said to her shifting my weight so I was closer to her, catching her scent and putting it into my memory. I watch her face relax a little at my words. For someone who doesn’t seem to want this bond sure did settle down at my words of about not rejecting her.

‘I want you Ray, I want all of you. What I want to do now, is I would like to take you to dinner. I would like to get to know you better, if of course you want to.’ I tell her, hoping that she will give me this opportunity. I watch her as she thinks it through.

‘I think.. That would be a good idea, maybe we can both can learn each other.’ She replies, accepting my invite. She turns to leave, and I reach out to grab her wrist, but remembering everything I saw back at that cabin, I stop myself. Unsure of how she would handle being touched. So I say her name instead.

‘Ray, I will see you tonight at 6pm. Casual wear.’ She turns her head towards me and nods.

‘I’ll be ready.’ She replies and heads towards the door to leave. I watch as she opens the door, walks through, and shuts the door behind her. I let out the breath I was holding. How does one live through what she did, and why is she not seeking revenge for the torture she received. The Rogue King is one sick bastard, and just seeing that torture cabin, made my decision to end his life. I know I need to talk to Rays dad about my findings. Right now though, I need to take a shower to get that stench off of me. Going to the bathroom and standing under the shower, I think on her. I think of things I will do to her once she allows me to. To show her that I won’t hurt her, but love and cherish her. To find out what truly happened to her in that cabin, I need to be patient, but I do need to ask her. I get out of the shower, towel off, get dressed and head out to find her dad.
