My Troubled Mate

The Day I Walked Away

He beings to try to hoist the man, whose name is apparently Dean and seems important, up. Yet Dean is three times this man’s size. It is rare I find someone smaller than me but this man is. He looks up at me with Dean about halfway up.

“Are you willing to help an old more, or is it just young attractive alphas of packs you don’t belong to?” he drips venom. I narrow my eyes

“Well since you asked me so nicely…” I say and bend down and wrap Deans’ other arm around me and hoist him the rest of the way up. And this starts another coughing fit. He spews blood onto the masonry of the house. The small man begins to move to the inside of the cottage, quickly,

What looks like a quaint, cozy little cottage on the outside looks like a hospital room on the inside. We pretty much drag Dean to the hospital bed. He struggles to bring himself high enough to lay down, so I smash the button to drop the bed.

“Look I know you live like a savage out there, but this is my equipment in here. Be gentle.” Santa Claus man scolds. I narrow my eye and open my mouth the say something, but Dean cuts in.

“Barely that’s more than enough. If it wasn’t for this gorgeous piece of lady id be dying alone in the lake right now,” he smirks and turns his head to wink at me. 

“Just because you’re a dying man doesn’t mean i am going to receive those comments any differently Dean.” I emphasize his name. And turn my back and walk to the one hospital room chair in the space, actually the entire room actually, and sit. And I wait.

For some reason, I feel the need to make sure he isn’t going to die. After what felt like days stilling on one room, doc looks up and says,

“Hes going to be fine he is just resting.” he states simply, a lot less grumpy this time. I stand up and say thank you and turn to leave. 

“Youre not going to stay until he wakes up to say goodbye?” he asked. 

“No he doesnt need me anymore and i dont belong here.” i state, and turn and leave tge simple cottage. 

I leave to go gather my thing to find a new part of the world to hide out in for a while. The alpha of this pack knowing im here is already to much.

Dean begins to wake, drowsy and slow. 

“Where is she?” he asks doc.

“She left after i told her youd be okay.” he mumbles.dean props himself on his elbows, and looked confused.

“Without saying goodbye?” he asks. Barely looks up at Dean.

“Not even to me sir.” Dean thinks that doc almost seems hurt. But i want her back. I want an explanation.

“Find her! Send out the order! Now!.” he demands!
