Chapter 6 The Mysterious Mat

I sat beside the bed of my newfound mate, watching her sleep peacefully as the IV fluid trickled down the appropriate quantity into her veins. I just met this woman, and I don't even want to leave her side. Nothing beats the feeling of watching your person; I never knew watching someone sleep would intrigue me this much.

The nurses took off the black hoodie and joggers she was putting on and clothed her in a neat and convenient hospital overall.

Her long eyelashes were a sight to behold, and they looked perfect the way they fitted the structure of her face so well. Her lips parting slightly gave her a more vulnerable look. The same look she had when I caught her in my arms a few hours ago. Her body was frail, and she looked like she hadn't eaten anything decent in days. I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask her, and I hoped everything went well. I was going to let her rest well first. The red mark around her neck showed how the rope was choking her before cutting it down.

Who was she? Who was this female who crash-landed on me out of the blues? Ever since I met her, I have had thousands of questions ringing in my head with no answer, like how was it possible for a human to be found in the middle of a werewolf pack? I know she was no ordinary human, and that alone made me more curious.

How could a human be mated to a wolf? How could the mate given to me by the moon goddess be pregnant with another man's child? And most importantly, why was she trying to take her own life?

To think that when I caught her scent, I felt that all my problems were over, but I had no idea that I would be thrown into a more significant dilemma. I couldn't wait for her to wake up and answer my questions, but I wouldn't know how much that would change.

"You're still here, Alpha; I told the nurses to tell you to go home," a male voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I rose my head to see Dr. White standing at the other side of my mate's bed and bowing to me.

I would never sleep in peace after leaving her here, even though this was the VVIP section of the pack's hospital. I would stay here till she woke up.

"Don't worry, doctor; I have to stay with her." I told him and then went to stand beside him, "I hope no one else knows I'm here, right?" I asked him with a muffled tone.

"My lips are sealed, Alpha, trust me," he assured me and started checking on her.

I had told him to keep the fact that I was in the hospital a secret and not let anyone know about it. The moment he touched my mate, he instantly knew that she was a human and pregnant. He reported them to me but didn't ask any ask questions further.

"She's currently still unconscious due to the lack of oxygen in her brain when the rope tightened around her neck. Also, she has been seriously malnourished and stressed, so we'll have to wait for her to regain consciousness since she isn't a wolf, it'll take some time, and I don't think you can stay here till she wakes up," he informed me, sounding adamant for me to leave.

He looked at her face, probably trying to understand why I care so much about a total stranger.

"I'll just have to share some of my energy with her then," I decided, saying it aloud for him to hear.

"But you can only do that with your mate," he argued and then let out a stifled gasp when the realization hit him. "Don't tell me...."

"Yes. Yes, she is, and you're the only person I'm telling, so it has to be between the both of us." I demanded, and he managed a nod, obviously too shocked to utter any word.

He left afterward, closing the door securely, and I could hear him telling some of the nurses outside not to enter the room until they're ordered to enter there urgently.

When I was sure it was just my mate and me, I held her hands into mine, closed my eyes, and began transferring some of my energy into her. It was something only Alpha wolves could do, and they could only do it to their fated mates. That was why some Alphas could bring back their mates from the dead.

After sharing some of my energy with her for about a minute or two, I dropped back her hands and continued to watch her.

I sat down wondering if I should call Warren my best friend, but then I remembered that I was supposed to be taking his sister as my chosen mate tomorrow. But should I allow that to lessen my trust in my best friend? Was I sure he didn't know about the elders' plans,?

After deliberating for a while, I decided to call him when my mate woke up and spoke with her. Just then, I felt her stir awake, opening her mesmerizing hazel eyes. I may have met many women but this woman here is damn mesmerizing.

RYAN

"We found something!" one of the men searching for my Luna yelled from a few meters away from where I stood.

It was dark already; all the bodyguards, and the security team was here with giant torches and lights, and I even had to order them to bring hunter dogs while some of the hunger wolves had to shapeshift so they could find her with her smell.

Some other men dropped what they were doing and ran to check what it was. They have told me to go home but I couldn't. If it weren't for my heir she was carrying, I would have left the search for them, but I have to find her before she tampers with the pregnancy. That bitch might be having plans to get rid of that baby

That good for nothing lowlife dare run away again; I'm going to show her how hot hell is! That is after she delivers my heir, of course.

We got to the scene where the guard found something and saw the guard raising a rope made from a twig and fresh leaves. One part was hanging on the tree, and the other was on the floor. It only meant one thing, Quinn was trying to kill herself with my child inside of her!

I let out a growl of anger that made everyone shiver. How dare her!

"Alpha?" the leader of the S.W.A.T. team walked to where I stood.

"Speak!" I snarled, and he took two steps back before speaking.

"I believe she was saved because the rope was strong enough to kill her which means, someone came in the nick of time," he informed me with his head bowed in submission.

"That information is none of my business; use it to find her. Put up her picture on the news, tell every werewolf in the whole realm that I'm writing an open check for anyone who finds her. Get moving!"
