Before the Tribrid (Book 1 of Tribrid Trilogy)

Part 6- Kent

I was alive but just barely. While I was lying there wishing for a way to live, I watch as my beautiful mate had shown how strong she was. Goddess, she should know that I love her. But I don't want to scare her away. I hope she will accept me and be my luna for our pack/Queen for all werewolves. Holy s**t! That sounds super weird. It makes me weird to know that I am now the King of the Werewolves. Jane is so strong and brave, but I know she will be a handful. It's ok with me though. She is the perfect Queen for me, the Moon Goddess said so the moment we were paired together as mates.

I was bleeding out and she was finishing up her speech. She glanced over my way. Once she was done, she walked over to me.

"Hey, Beautiful! You know without you; I would probably be the one dead right now. But thanks to you, I am alive and breathing! I know I owe you my life and I will make sure that I get to show you how much I am grateful I am for you. You were great out there showing how strong and brave you were to fight for our mate bond. Thank you for doing that, baby! I am still in shock that you brought down Percy, an Alpha. How did you do that??" Kent asked.

"Are you sure right now is a good time to tell you how I did that? I was thinking that once we get more of the pack here and a vehicle that we can travel to our pack's land, so the doctor can check over you." She says, showing off her pride in saying 'our' pack.

"Ok. We can wait to do that, but the moment we are on the pack's land and in the pack hospital, I would like to know. Just promise me that you will tell me, ok?" I asked her, in a compromising kind of way.

"Ok, I promise you!" She agreed without putting up a fight. 

Not even thirty minutes later, the rest of the pack was here and loading into the bed of my Ford truck. I told them to put me in the bed of my truck because my truck was still pretty new and I didn't want to put any blood on my truck's new seat.

Once we were on our way back to the pack's territory, all things were quiet. Jane had her arms wrapped around me. She was scared and devastated that she almost lost me. But I kept telling her that she shouldn't be scared. I was never going away. I will always be around. She can't lose me quite yet. I know she isn't ready for that to happen. I know that we just found each other, but I feel like I have gotten to know a little bit more each time we talk.

After about a thirty-minute drive to the pack territory, the pack had gotten me to the pack hospital in one piece. The pack took me in to see the doctor as soon as possible. Jane was trailing behind. Her face was red and had tears going down her cheeks. Her eyes weren't the normal white, they were red and sad. She was really nervous that Percy was going to kill me. I am glad she stepped in when she did because if not, she would be mateless and it would break my heart to know that. Hell, it breaks my heart right now just to see how sad she is.

Once I am laid down on the hospital bed and the pack has left, I pat the area next to me, so she can come to lay down by me. She didn't budge. 

"Baby, please come here. I would love it if you would come here so I can tell you a few different things." I pleaded with her. Not even a minute later, she was next to me trying not to cry. "Hey, it's ok! It was not your fault that this happened to you. It was your father's fault. He was selfish and wanted power instead of happiness for his only daughter. That was very wrong of him to do that. Now that he is gone and dealt with, I promise to make you happy for the rest of our days! You are my mate and your happiness means the world to me!" I continued to calm her down from her crying. I give her a weird sideways hug. It was more like an awkward hug. After the hug, she just laughed. That sound, her laugh, is the most beautiful thing I have heard. That is until I hear her scream my name in pleasure when we are making love. I cannot wait for that to happen. I feel my d**k twitch. Great! Just what I need. I need to stop because if not, she and the doctor will have a surprise. That surprise being my b***r. I mean it's not like I can help it. My mate is hot. Black hair like a crow and their feathers. Greenish-brown eyes with sunkissed skin. She is about five feet, eight inches worth of beauty, and troublesome for me. I cannot wait to have her beautiful lips around me if you know what I mean :)! Man, I am sounding like a horny teenager with lots of hormones going through me. Ugh... Where the hell is the doctor when you need him??

Jane must know what I am thinking about because she is looking at me with desire in her eyes. She is seriously going to the death of me. She just keeps staring at me while I stare at her. I don't even register her moving her hand down my pants to where my d**k lays. She starts to stroke it. Slow, but good strokes. The way she has her hand stroking me won't let me last longer. I come in my pants. I am a sticky gooey mess by the time she stops. I can feel it. Once she was done, I looked over near the entrance of the door and see the doctor with his eyes bigger than his head. I didn't notice him sooner. Oops! Apparently neither did Jane because once I bring my eyes back to hers, she just laughs. Oh, dear Goddess, the doctor just saw my mate getting me off, what the hell! So, I begin to laugh along with her. The doctor leaves to go find another doctor. He must've been too embarrassed to see what he had seen. Well, I wouldn't blame him. He should've knocked on the wall making himself known!

It wasn't my fault intentionally! I could've tried to stop her, who am I kidding? Her hands felt great on me. About fifteen minutes later, after the first doctor had left to find the second doctor, the second doctor, Doctor Luke had come in to check on me.

"Why, hello there, Alpha! How are you doing? Who might this beauty be sitting next to you?" Doctor Luke asked. When he called Jane a 'beauty' I knew he was trying to flirt with my mate, so I growled.

"I am doing alright. This beautiful woman next to me is my mate, your Luna." I looked at Jane with loving eyes.

Doctor Luke puts his hand out in the front of Jane, so she could shake it. Once I saw his intentions, I growled. I thought it was a quiet growl but apparently it wasn't the least bit quiet. It doesn't go unnoticed by Doctor Luke and Jane. The looks that they give me just make me laugh.  I mean I can't help but be possessive of my mate; it doesn't matter who you are, no one will touch my mate without my mate and I's permission. She is mine, after all. I do know she is new to being mated, but that doesn't remind the pack who she is. I have to protect her from the all the unmated males in the pack, at least until we have finished completing the matebond.

Jane reaches her hand out. As she does this, I growl making sure this one doesn't go without notice.

"It's ok. I promise not to hurt her. I just want to shake her hand." Doctor Luke says calmly. I sigh and then she shakes his hand. She is a nervous wreck given my being possessive of her. I guess it's gonna have to take some getting used to.

*Author's comment/question: Do you think Kent should cut Jane some slack when he doesn't think he has done anything wrong? What is your opinion? I would love to hear from you guys!
