Muted Mate

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Sixteen

Good Or Bad?

Kyle and I shift back and pick up the girls body. "She's still alive" I whisper feeling her pulse.

We decide to take her to the pack doctor and see what's wrong with her, and maybe even get her to wake up and talk, or have the beta try and get some information on her.

"She looks like she's been through the wringer and back" Kyle says as we arrive at the pack doctor.

"Who is this? What happened?" Emma asks, putting on gloves.

"We don't know. We were running, and she stopped us and shifted back then just said for us to help her then she passed out." I said running a hand through my hair, this is so stressful.

The girl's pulse is weak, and her breath is shallow, and slow. "I'll see what I can do" Emma says shoo'ing us out of the room.

••••••

It's been a couple days. Emma finally calls us back to the doctors. Finally the rouge girl is awake. But she looks scared, and tired.

"She was severely dehydrated, and starved. She seemed to have been in her wolf form for many months now. We tube fed her food, and gave her IV's. She woke up this morning but hasn't talked yet. Just sits there staring blankly into space" Emma explains, while taking her gloves off and then leaving the room.

I look at Kyle and we walk up to her. "Hi" I whisper soothingly "What's your name?"

She looks at me and her green eyes seem dark, sad. She looks down at her hands. "Look.. I know it can be scary to talk to strangers. That it seems easier to not talk. To stay quiet.. Mute. I was that way before. But once you start talking. It will get so much easier. It will. I promise" I start out. Trying to tell her about me and my story of when I was mute.

Kyle sighs "I'm trying" I say in the mind link

"I know darling. I know you are. I wonder if she has a mate?" He says and I start to wonder that too.

"You see..." I begin "My dad abused me. He r***d me. And so I went mute. Until I found my true friends and my mate, Kyle.. And I finally started to talk. To open up. And it made me feel better. Happier. Just trust me. You can talk to me. To us. We won't tell anyone"

The girl looks at me and I see her mouth twitch. I know she wants to say something. I can tell. She just ... Won't

Then finally her eyes meet mine. Like she's trying to read my mind. "My name is Rachel" she says faintly.
