My Savior Alpha, Jessie Marie [book recommendations website .txt] 📗

beautiful, but she was far from being what anyone would consider healthy.She had thick raven colored hair which was strangely the same color as mine, her skin tone the usual tanned complexion but it was far from a healthy color due to it being paler then it should have been. She had to be around the age of 16, maybe 17 so she was a few years younger than me but I wasn't bothered. She was my angel, like age mattered and it wasn't like it was illegal…It was her body which had me shaking in rage though, she was practically a skeleton which had a thin layer of skin stretched over it. Her bones poked out at all angles, telling me that if she had a lot more meat on her bones she would be deliciously curvy. Her legs while thin were incredibly long, and while I would practically tower over her since I was taller than 6ft that again didn't bother me. She would be mine to look after, to  protect and I wouldn't be taking my responsibly as her mate lightly.

 

Chapter 6

 I watched Lisa with keen eyes as I followed her every movement as she looked over my mate, my eyes trained on each and every action she made. I could tell I was making her nervous but she didn't complain, rather going into doctor mode as she continued to do the job which she had trained for. A pack doctor was a respected and learned profession. Due to not being able to be taught in doctor skills by a human, both our blood and body's healing and being different meant it was pointless. Instead the elders taught and passed down the knowledge to the pack, but only a few such as Lisa who were interested in it enough to learn more to be a 'pack doctor.' She was incredibly respected and looked after within the pack, and while she wasn't our only pack doctor but she was by far the best; meaning it would be her job to teach others the knowledge of healing. It was where most packs went wrong, not passing down the knowledge and such meaning it would affect the entire pack later on. There weren't many of us; but we made sure to look after her own."I need some more water" Lisa stated as the bloody and dirty bowl sat near her knees as she propped herself up over the bed to run the cloth over my mate, my eyes trying to avoid the fact that while my mate was injured and unhealthy she was still incredibly naked and lying on my bed. Nodding I was in the kitchen in no time, ignoring the looks I received as I grabbed another large kitchen bowl and waited impatiently for the water to heat up. What the hell was up with our plumping? Some sane part of my mind knew that I was being impatient, but my wolf wanted to return to me unconscious mate and to be honest so did I."She alright, mate?" Paul asked as he watched me fumble around with the water, my head snapping in his direction as I gave him a cold look which had him flinching. I didn't feel guilty, they were used to it by now after all and knew what to expect when I wasn't in the best of moods. You could hardly blame me though, considering my sick mate was upstairs in my room with no one other than Lisa I was a little bit on edge. "When I find the pack who did this to her, I will slaughter them" I snarled out causing Paul to instinctively push a confused Lilly behind him. It was by instinct, he was protecting his mate and even though there wasn't a threat just the thought that there could be one was enough to explain his protective actions."I take it she's in bad shape then?" he asked with a wince, my cold looking telling him what he wanted to know."You need anything then tell us Adrian" Lily said softly from behind Paul, my eyes staring blankly at her before I nodded in thanks. It was clear neither Paul nor Ryan had told them that she was my mate, but it wasn't hard to work out if you put all the clues together. I wasn't known for my incredibly light nature, so why would I bring a unconscious rouge into my house and lay her on my bed if she wasn't my mate?Grabbing the bowl I sprinted up the stairs, careful to try not to spill any but I knew I would have to make a mental note to wipe down the stairs if nobody else came across the mess before me.Reaching my bedroom I entered only to find Lisa in tears, the bowl completely forgotten as I tensed in alarm. I knew my angel was still alive, I could hear her heart beat so why was the pack doctor crying? What the hell was going on?"What?" I snapped out, both worried and angered. Worried for my mate's wellbeing and angered that I had left when Lisa had clearly found something, why hadn't I just gotten one of my pack mates to get it for me? Oh that's right, I refused to let any of them even close to my room at the moment due to my mate. Being an alpha I would be even more protective of her, but I was naturally quite possessive anyway so my emotions weren't coming as a shock to me like it would most."You're not going to like it Alpha" Lisa whispered as she grabbed the bowl I was holding, soaking the cloth before pressing it against my mates forehead in a soothing manner.I couldn't help but growl at her comment, what wouldn't I like? If it was something to do with my mate then I wanted, no needed to know. She was my life, my everything and if something was wrong then it was my business to know."Tell me!" I demanded causing her to flinch, I couldn't bring it in myself to care when she knew something about the state of my mate's health. If she didn't tell me then I would force it out of her, she may be a friend and a pack doctor but when it came to my mate she was nothing. Harsh I know, but ask any other mated couple and they will tell you the same. You can live without a pack; you can't and won't want to live without your mate."She isn't healthy alpha, far from it. It looks like she has not only been starved but worked to the point of exhaustion, if you hadn't of found her then she wouldn't have survived the night" she whispered through glossy eyes, my fist colliding with the wall causing it to break under the force I applied to it. I couldn't believe what I was hearing; someone used my mate and then just tossed her aside like an animal! What the fuck was wrong with some people? Yep, they would definitely pay for ever harming what was MINE! I would be seeing to it personally."Will she be ok?" I asked, actually fearing the answer. Her heart beat sounded stronger, yet she had yet wake up. To be honest I didn't know what I was going to say to her when she did, clearly she had been through a lot and while I wanted to know why and what she had been put through, I knew that getting her better and gaining her trust was a lot more important at the moment then revenge. I could live without revenge, I doubt I would want to live without my small little mate by my side even if I had yet to see the true color of her eyes and the sound of my name as they passed though plump but swollen lips of hers. Yes, I could wait.  

 

 

Chapter 7

 

It was a few days that my angel had been with me and she had yet to wake up, I had started to worry until Lisa said it was normal and that my mate was just recovering from her shifting. Apparently it hadn't been the best thing my mate could have done; shifting requiring a lot of energy and such meaning her body was trying to pull itself together. It wasn't until a few hours past mid—night on the third day that she was out that her breathing pattern suddenly changed, it instantly having my attention as I threw the book I had been reading on my floor and stared at my mate as her breathing increased slightly. I hadn't left her since she had first arrived at my home, I had done nothing more than watch her as I dressed her in one of my shirts  and the smallest pair of my boxers I could find. I found it soothed my wolf to see her in my clothes, I also knew she would be most comfortable in something loose and not so tight on her small and weak frame.Hearing her draw a sharp breath through her teeth I was instantly on alert, practically shitting myself as I tried to remember what I had planned to say to her when she woke up. I had been thinking about it since she had arrived, but now that I could see she was stirring I found myself completely blank with what I was going to say to her. The last think I wanted was to startle her; the memory of her being scared of me was enough to cause me to tremble and my wolf to whimper at the visual image of the fear in her eyes and the sound of the whimpers which had left her muzzle. No, that was the last thing I wanted.So with that as not to startle her I remained seated as I watched her eyes flicker open, not moving when she gasped for breath as she struggled to pull herself up into a sitting position; though it was killing me to do so inside. She was my mate and she was hurting, yet for her not to fear me I had to be gentle with her, which didn't mean pressuring her into anything like a relationship. I didn't like it, truthfully I hated it but it was necessary so I shut off the my mental whining and continued to gaze at her. She was
