Mate Protect Me

Chapter 3 – Mates Meet

Baden threw the door to the dungeon open, alluding everyone to his presence. Then it hit him, a scent he had never taken in, in his whole life. A scent he had dreamed of countless times. His mouth watered with the scent of berries completely surrounding him. Approaching the rogues cell the scent was getting stronger. Well f**k he thought, I found my mate in a rogue. Grabbing the man with the hose by the neck he threw him across the room before walking up to the bars to get a better look. She had at least some white fur, she was an Alpha wolf? Why the f**k would an Alpha wolf female be a rogue and how had this not been mentioned before? It’s appeared his little princess was not as pleased to see him as he was to see her. Her wolf backed up even further into the corner of the cell trying to get away from him.

Taking a deep breath and quite unsure with what he was going to do next Baden unlocked the door to the cell. Zac quickly ran to him a sharp cry left Baden’s mate at Zac’s sudden approach. “Alpha she is a wild b***h, I wouldn’t get close till you break her”. Did he just call his little princess, his mate, a b***h! He had never been so insulted and angry in his whole life. Before he even knew what he was doing Baden grabbed Zac by his arms breaking both of them instantly before throwing him into the wall behind him. His hand wrapped around Zac’s neck squeezing tightly, blood seeped down Zac’s neck from where Baden’s claws slit into his skin.

Ian picked up immediately on Baden’s hesitation, this was his mate. Happiness spread through Ian. Baden had given up searching for her a while ago, but here she was. Then Zac ran over insulting Baden’s already heavily injured mate, oh god Ian thought. Before Ian could follow Baden’s movements Zac was up against the wall. Ian placed his hand on Baden’s arm which held Zac to the wall to get his attention. “Baden you are going to scare her more then she already is. She is hurt, she needs medical attention now. She needs you”.

Baden snapped to his senses, she needs me he thought. Dropping Zac to the floor in a spluttering heap Baden moved back to the cell door pulling it open gently. He very slowly approached his cowering mate. “I am your mate I will not hurt you, I swear it”. Continuing forward he noticed her broken arm which was at a contorted angle, then blood dripping down her shoulder from a large s***h in her shoulder? Back? He could quite tell. Baden bit back his growl as to not scare her further. Slowly he reached out his hand and placed it on her fur near her neck which was soaked in freezing water, she shivered either under his touch or due to the coldness seeping into her body. Slowly she appeared to settle a little. He moved his hand stroking her neck, “do you think you can phase for me beauty? let me get you out of here”.

Gemma whined in her wolf form as the hand of the Alpha, her mate who was petting her fell into the holes made by nails in her neck. Baden pulled his hand back slowly seeing blood on his fingers. Unable to control himself a furious growl tore from his throat as he turned his body standing protectively in front of his mate looking for the culprit.

Hearing a thud, Baden turned back quickly finding his mate in human form in a heap on the floor naked and shivering violently. Scrapes and bruises covered her body, blue eyes were surrounded with bruises from lack of sleep. Long almost white blonde hair streaked with blood was soaked and sticking to her body.

Her body, oh goddess he thought as he painfully hardened at the site. Before anyone else could see her body Baden pulled his black cotton shirt off over his head placing it over his mate, carefully getting her broken arm in first as to not hurt it more. “What’s your name princess? I am ….Baden.” He almost forgot his own name, he was going to say yours. That’s what he was now, hers.

His little princess reached out her good arm tracing her fingers down his abs leaving a trail of searing heat through his body, before bowing her head in submission. “You never need to submit to me princess”. Shame washed through him knowing she had been so close for a year, yet he had not bothered to go out after her. She had suffered at his hands.

Baden reached down to his princess. Sliding one arm under her thighs ignoring her flinching and his other around the base of her back trying to avoid her injury he pulled her body flush against his chest. She was so tiny, at least 3 heads shorter then him he thought. She was almost like a little child with her small frame and innocent little face now sporting some pretty red cheeks.

She didn’t answer him, but softened in his arms almost immediately falling asleep after hiding her face in the crook of his neck. Her soft warm breaths on his neck send fireworks through his body making his already hard p***s ache and throb.

Ian broke the silence, “I sent Derick to your room, he is waiting for you”. Ignoring the throbbing between his legs, Baden headed for his bedroom clutching tighter at his little princess like she could disappear at any moment.
