The Alpha's Rejected Silent Mate

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

I’m hurrying to the car, aware of Winter’s condition. She might seem tough but right now she looked like a strong

wind would knock her over. The car is too far for her to walk to and I get in and drive around to the front of the hospital, violently hoping she hasn’t tried to leave on her own again. I can’t believe she tried to do that. She’s absolutely mad and the most stubborn girl I know and I’ve only known her a few hours.

To my relief she’s still where I left her and I wait, the engine running, for her to come over and get in the passenger seat. I feel bad but if I try and help she’ll just refuse again.

The grass is completely dead out the front and the mail box looks as though it’s been run over several times, completely on a lean. The front door’s paint is peeling and there’s empty beer bottles near the front door which she uses her foot to nudge

clearly poor I think to myself, maybe that’s why she didn’t want me to drop her off? It made sense but something still rankled. Why would she not at least tell the nurse about her old bruises. I don’t believe for a second that it’s due to bullies at school. There are far too many of them. As it was, I would be having a firm talk with the principal tomorrow about his failure to protect one of his students from a vicious and violent attack. The fact they were girls didn’t matter to me. They deserved to be punished
