Chapter 5
TRAVIS.
“It's really weird how we both have the same mate, don't you think? I mean, what's are the odds of that.”
“I don't really know.”
“I'm just so happy I found her, you know, I thought I would die alone.”
“I know.”
“What about you, I know you never…”
“I'm going to reject her.”
“Wait what, you're going to reject her. You're going to reject our mate.”
“Yes I am, you know I don't want one.”
“Tristan come on, are you serious? Look, it's not her fault Keshia did you dirty.”
“Don't bring Keshia into this. This has nothing to do with her.”
“Yeah it does. Ever since she left you, you turned into some sort of robot. You…”
“I said don't mention it.”
“OK, ok, don't have to be such a dick about it, man. Changing the subject, did you get any word from Alpha Tony, it's been about two days now.”
“No nothing yet, I was thinking about going up there later this afternoon.”
“I'll go with you.”
“No, I need you here just in case of anything happens. There have been many rogue attacks across the border.”
“Ok.”
“Great, I'm stepping out for a while, but I'll catch you later.”
Before he could close the door I just had to say it, at least if he got angry he would be angry out there nit in here.
“Tristan , think about it before you go and do something you would regret later on. She isn't Keshia, and she deserves a change.”
He didn't respond. He just slammed shut the door behind him. Once he was gone I did my morning work.out and decided to head over to the hospital to see my girl.
The packs hospital is located between the main road and forest. We built it there mainly because the scenery is nice, and if any of our fellow wolf mates happen to be injured while on their travels they could pop in.
Today is Sitaras first day of work, and since we haven't seen each other since the party, why not check up on her now.
Before reaching the hospital, I grab a quick meal from one of the food places in town, I don't known much about her except for what's on file and trust me when I say I'm happy about that.
Atheist I git myself a conversation starter.
I got to the hospital just in time to find her making her way over to a bench in the little garden area.
“Hi.”
“Ohh Alpha Travis hi.”
“No need for all that bowing.”
“Ohh.. I'm sorry.”
“Sit, have a seat, let's talk.”
“So I guess you're here to reject me?”
“Reject you, Did my brother come here.”
“Yeah he did. Earlier on, he told me he would like to speak with me this afternoon after he is back from Blue Rise. He had this look in his eyes like he was fighting something. So, I just assumed the worst.”
“I'm not here to reject you, I accept you as my mate. I'm here to have lunch with you.”
“Ohh.. really, well, I didn't bring lunch with me today. So I guess we could just sit and talk.”
“That's OK, I bought you a burger. I'm not sure if you would like it, it's a.”
“Double patty with cheese ,lettuce,tomatoes,onions, pickles, and fries from woodys.”
She said,
“How did you know?”
“I have a good sense of smell.”
After unwrapping the burger and handing it over to her, I sat back and looked at the pretty smile plastered across her face.
The same smile she wore on her face the night of the ball, with her hair done up in falling curls, light makeup and that long, black fitted dress with silver glitter sparkling like stars about her body.
“It's my eye, isn't it?”
“I'm sorry, what do you mean?”
“People usually stare at my eye without knowing it.”
“Ohh I was looking at you taking a big bite out of that burger.”
“Ohh.”
She lets out this nervous giggle that seals its place in my heart.
“ So what's your favorite color, Sitara?”
I got right to work.
“Hmm, I'll have to say black.”
“Black, why?”
“Mainly because it's just blank like me. What's your favorite?”
“Pink.”
“Pink, why pink?”
“It started out as a dear between me and my brother. He told me to wear a pink suit to our graduation. I did, we laughed so hard at my parents' expression we almost threw up, but that's not the reason I like it.
I like it because at that very moment me and my brother had finally started to get along and we grew closer over that dear.”
“Ohhh.”
“What's your favorite food, TV show, places to go, things to do.”
“Woodys and pasta
Grown ups
Home
Read. Yours.”
“Woodys for sure, moms Shepard pie
Anything adventure
The club
Hiking.”
“Sitara, I'm sorry to disrupt your lunch, but could I have your help with the patient in room 203.”
“Ohhh.. I'm, ok. I'm sorry Alpha but I have to go. Thank you for lunch.”
“It's no problem at all love, you enjoy the rest of your day ok.”
We both stood up and I watched as she walked towards the hospital entrance.
“Alpha Travis.”
“Yes.”
“I accept yiu as my mate as well.”
The words I'd long to hear has finally appeared, it's like music to my ears and a beat to my heart. I tried so hard to hold back tye smile that tgreaten to spread across my face but I couldn't.
Finally I have someone to call my own, by the time I looked up from stearing at the floor she was already waving me good by at the hospitals entrance.
Later that afternoon our Beta Daniel.jlined me for training, that's after I had finally got him from following his mate around like a little puppy.
“Ohh, when could I cuddle up under the fire with my soul mates mark on my neck.”
I tease
“Jealous much?”
“Amm.. yeah.”
Training began, and just like always, we overlooked the new warriors that joined our team. It's never easy when training a new bunch mainly because you never know what your walking into.
Some wolves are trained by a brother or father, some are not we even have some that are sent by there parents because they need to learn to tuffen up.
Those we usually just put them in any office position available but they still have to learn how to defend themselves.
“ Each and every one of you has a reason your here, I'm not sure what some of the reasons are but one of the reasons must be to help protect your people.”
“Yes sir, Alpha sir.”
“All right today we are going to start off with a group act……..”
MINDLINK.
“Alpha Tristan, we have a situation at the packs hospital, we're under attack and outnumbered, sir, we need..”
Daniel looked at me along with the others.
“All new members remain here, some warriors fall back to protect them and the others follow me.”
As I run towards the south side of the pack grounds all I could think about is Sitara, she doesn't have a wolf nor has she any training like most of the women in our pack. That's why they are mainly targeted.
My heart is pumping, my palms are sweating 'm afraid, no wait, that's not me. She's afraid, and it's her fear I'm feeling.
The stench of rogues become more and more pungent it makes me angry.
There were people everywhere, running and screaming, it was a mad house. One or two of the warriors that was watching the place were laying on the floor unable to move.
Rogues fight dirty, they have no sense of training for them it's kill or be killed that's why they are so dangerous.
“Protect the hospital stand guard inside some of you, rhe others remain out Blick any window m, any doors,any hole they could fit in.”
“Yes sir Alpha Sir.”
“ Alpha, we have two rogues heading south of the pack grounds. They have two of our nurses with them.”
Sitara, it has to be her because I could still feel that feeling of fright pumping through me. I took off in the direction they were last seen.
Her scent is all over the forest, tye cinnamon, strawberries and blood. I feared the worst. I can't lose her nit yet, nit when I just got her.
I couldn't hold him back any more, I shifted ro Razor as he was faster than me in human form. He let out a loud roar catching the rogue's attention.
“Let them go, and I'll let you live.”
“ Not in a million years, now walk away before I kill you, Alpha.”
He spat.
“I said let them go.”
Without thinking about the hiw I'm out numbered I charged, we were scrapping in the floor like a group of school kids in a party after the pinata had burst.
“Run.”
Tally shifted to her wolf and took of into the forest,.Sitara wasn't moving she just stood there looking at us scrapping.
“Run.”
One of the wolves drew there attention from me and on her taking off in her direction. Two more of there friends joined as I fought off the first one.
Travis came out of nowhere and ran in Sitaras direction, I knew it was him.because of his heavy steps. Out of all the Alphas in this country he is one of the biggest and strongest.
Worry left me as I knew he would find her,
but worry sparked back right up when I remembered his condition.
By the time I git there he was standing over the living but barely beaten wolf.
“Who sent you.”
Travis asked.
“A very wealthy man who gets what he wants, when he wants it.”
“His name.”
“Names aren't my thing. I just take the money and do the job and the job was to get the girl with the fucked up eye.”
PUNCH!
PUNCH!
“what does he want with her ?”
“I don't know, but what I do know is that he is a messed up in the head dude so if he wants her it isn't for anything good.”
“Tell us who he is or your dead.”
“I'm already dead.”
I drop him to the floor and walk over to Travis.
“Maybe we could use this to our advantage, locate the tracker let him know what his job is.”
Tristan nods.
“Tell your boss he will never have her or anyone from this pack.”
I punched him in the face one last time knocking him out. Hopefully when he wakes up he will lead our tracker right to his boss.
My attention then turns to Sitara who is laying on the floor.
“What happened?”
I asked as I picked up up from the floor and in my arms.
“She fainted.”
“How did you do?”
“I felt her fear, and I couldn't hold him back. So what did he say?”
“That he was sent for her, something about his boss is messed up…”
“So we have a problem on our hands.”
“I'm not sure.”
“No I'm telling you we have a problem, we forgot to pick up mom and dad from the airport.”
“Fiddle sticks.”
