Ryder

"Is she okay? Did she tell yo-" without even thinking I grabbed him off the couch throwing him to the ground. He groaned and I kicked at his stomach.

"I know enough to know your father is a disgrace" I kicked at him again and he scrunched up, still groaning in pain.

"Fine..fair enough"

Carter my voiced boomed in my head.

Alpha..What do you need? he responded within seconds.

Rouge in my office. Bring him back to his cell im going to bed.

Yes Alpha. Good night Alpha. I shut off the mind link and walked out my office leaving the man curled up into a ball on the ground. I almost slammed the door walking out.

I don't like him, we should've killed him when we first saw him holding our mate!

Stupid wolf why should we care about a man holding something that isn't even ours

she is ours you fo- I grumbled shutting him out. Dane gets annoying. I walked back to my room, still a bit tense from the situation. I should've made her tell me more so I know how to deal with this stuff.

But you didn't..

I thought I shut you out!

Yet again, sadly unable to get rid of me.. He teased. I walked inside my room and then stopped for a moment. She was there. Her face seemed calm for once, peaceful. Normally whenever i was around her face would scrunch up and stare into oblivion with fear. I took a deep sigh. What is she doing to me? One moment I see her as nothing then the next, mine. Deja vu hit me and I grumbled.

I think I've been asking this question the day she got here. I cannot let her affect me, I mustn't be seen as weak. I cant. I'm a fucking Alpha. A stupid girl cannot make me bow down at every command as i see the rest of the men in my pack who have mates.

I slid off my shirt and pants and climbed underneath the covers, and I stared at her. That's all I could do. She laid there sleeping in my bed and for some reason, that factor could not allow me to sleep. I gulped and turned my back from her, shutting off the lamp light and staring at wall, till I fell asleep.

I felt someone kick at my side and my eyes flew open. My instincts kicked in and I looked at Emerald. She was scrunching up, her face twisting and tears running down her cheeks. She was sweating, and seemed to be fighting with herself.

"Jarl please st-" oh god. Please don;t tell me she's having a fucking nightmare! I groaned feeling a slash of pain on my back. I gripped the sheets trying not to scream out.

"please! Please no-no-no! I won't tell I wo-" She was beginning to yell in pain. I felt as if a knife went across my cheek, I gripped it and grunted. I have to get her up, I have to. Another pain, but worse, my eyes stung feeling like they were burning off. I roared sitting up and started to shake her by the shoulders.

"Emerald. Emerald!" she went to kick me, making me dodge. She screamed.

"It's me its-" I began and she sniffed the air.

"D-Dylan" I frowned as the pain went away and sighed.

"Ryder. It's Ryder" I mumbled. She was a mess. She looked like she jut went to war. Dane took over pulling her into my bare chest and she grabbed onto me, crying. No not crying, sobbing, sobbing like there was no tomorrow. I unconsciously began to stroke her hair and her sobbing turned into soft sniffles.

"Who. I want a name" Dane's voice was stern. She seemed to notice it.

"Jarl" Her lip seemed to quiver at his name. I held here hand rubbing circles on the knuckles woth my thumb.

"Who is Jarl? Is he Jace's father?" She whimpered at the name and she started to shake. "Hey shh..it's okay, hey it's okay" I pulled her back in, feeling the warm liquid of her tears down my chest.

"Y-your bleeding" she muttered. I felt her warm hand on my cheek, and it stung, making me clench my teeth.

"I-I'm fine Emerald" my voice stern.

"Was it from my nightmare? Is that why you got it?" nightmares. When it has hurt in the dream, a mate can feel it. What the hell was she dreaming about?

I nodded and she sighed. She started to get up and tugged on me. "Where are we going?" I asked.

"To clean you up, I hate the smell of blood" she grumbled making me follow after her. She led me to the bathroom. "Sit" she commanded making my wolf, as whipped as he would be, sitting down on the countertop. I watched her as she went under neath me and reaching into the bottom cabinet.

"Which way is the first aid kit?" She questioned.

"To the left it should be towards the front in a box" she shuffled around and then she stopped. A face of hurt washed over. "Emerald?" I said and she gulped.

"If you want to hide your condoms, put them somewhere else" she said and my throats closed up. Fuck.

She came back up with the first aid kit and I looked down. "But that's okay, all men need their whores every once in a while right? To suffice their needs?" I growled lowly and she just stood there. The box opened and then she felt around looking for something. I heard something open and the a cloth was applied to my cheek making it sting. I growled and my hand grabbed her wrist.

"What are you doing?"

"The wound has to be cleaned. It's shouldn't scar because it was a stupid nightmare" she seemed the grumble and continued. That's when I noticed her cheek,the scar, the same cheek that was bleeding for me.

"In that dream, is that when you lost your eyes sight?" She stopped her breath hitching in. She out her head down, bitting her lip.

"Yeah"she then continued and I felt a bandaid go on.

"There your done" she whispered, sending chills down my spine.

"Thank you" she started to walk away and back towards the room. For some reason Dane took over.

"You can't sleep like that your clothes are all wet. I'll get you something to wear" without thinking I was pulled into my closet and pulled out an old shirt of mine.

"Catch" she turned and blindly caught the shirt.

What are you doing?

Aren't you a little curious about what mate looks like in our clothes? I sucked my teeth crossing my arms. Her back was turned to me as she slid off her shorts. I closed my eyes, my first clenching.

"Come on I'm done" I opened my eyes too see her in, just my shirt.

Okay you've finally done something I approve  of.

Mhm.

I got under neath the covers, watching her fall asleep.
