Fragile, Innocent, and Scared

Chapter 5

Seth's P.O.V

            Once the nightmare of my beautiful mate's past was over I fell onto the pavement, my whole body tense and my eyes watery. How could such an innocent girl go through that much pain. I thought back to what the man had said just before it ended. He would come back in three years. My eyes, which had been closed, shot open and I looked at Alpha Evan. "How long ago did this happen" I asked urgently. "About 3 years ago, in a month or so it will be three years." My eyes widened and I immediately pulled my unconscious mate into my arms, my wolf growing deeply at the thought of such a horrible person taking away my mate. "Sebastian she's okay, no one is going hurt her" Evan tried but I just growled deeper and looked down at my mates tear stained face.

            "She didn't tell you all of it, did she?" I asked him, my eyes still trained on my Flora as I brushed her hair from her face. "I'm pretty sure she di..." "Did she tell you of how her father is going to come back for her in three years? Did she tell you his name?" I cut him off. Well the man never said his name but I knew who he was. He was an alpha a state away. His name is Alpha Draymen. Evan's eyes widened, "Three years?! No she didn't tell us this! And who the hell is this bastard?!" Evan was beyond angry, mostly at the un-named man. "His name is Alpha Draymen, his pack resides two states away from your pack and a state away from mine." Evan looked conflicted. He appeared mad, but also sad at the same time. "Why the hell are you sad if you now know who caused her this much pain?" I gritted out, my wolf angry at Evan.

            Evan fell down to his knees, smacking the pavement and most likely cutting his knees open, but he didn't care. He placed his head in his hands and stayed like that for a while. He then let out a loud animalistic growl that vibrated the pavement underneath me, also scaring Flora in her sleep. I tugged her closer to me and she shuffled into my chest. "Evan you better have a good d*mn reason for why you scared my mate" I said, my wolf in control. He does not let anyone show any emotion except for happiness towards our mate. In other words if you scare her or get angry with her, you will have him to deal with. Evan looked up quickly, "I'm sorry Alpha" he said and looked down. What is wrong with him? Alpha's do not apologize to others, and he especially knows that. "What the hell has you so shaken up?" Evan grimaced and looked at my mate in my arms, "I know the man who hurt Flora..." Evan's fist collided with the pavement, making a noticeable hole in it. I held Flora as close to me as possible in case anything would happen.

            Evan brought back his raw and bloody knuckles and wiped them on his shorts. "All this f*cking time, the man who hurt someone so close to me has been right under my nose." This made me urge him on, "Who the hell is he to you Evan?." My voice was low and dangerous. Evan looked guilty now and stared at Flora, "He is my brother." "Well you're about to have a family reunion and it won't be pretty."
