The Alpha's Rejected Silent Mate

Chapter 60

Needless to say I’m still exhausted and drained the next day, Alpha Kai still watching over me. I examined him

while he slept, fascinated at how peaceful and innocent he looked as his soft snores filled the air. His scars were just

as rugged and stood out against the whiteness of the hospital lights, but to me they made him look even more

handsome to me. I still caught him out of the corner of my eyes during the hours he spent by my side, occasionally tracing them when he thought I wasn’t looking. I suspect now, that it has nothing to do with being self conscious, but

rather that there’s a whole other story, one that he has yet to tell me, that causes him to do it.

When I’m discharged, I’m relieved as is Kai who claims he has important paperwork to get to. I feel bad for disturbing his business but he doesn’t seem to be too phased. I’m wondering how I’m going to walk back to the pack house, my limbs still quite shaky and to be honest, I’m that tired, I’m not sure I’ll actually make the trip, when Kai shocks the hell out of me by picking me up and carrying me bridal style. As we make our way out to the main

entrance, I see several nurses stop and stare and Dr James, I swear, winks at me on the way out. I grin. I’m rather fond of that doctor. He’s so jolly it’s hard to find anything to dislike about him.

“Let’s get you home” Kai mutters, my arms wrapping around his neck tightly. His hair is soft against my hands and I have to resist the urge to tug on it. His grip is so secure, that I have no fears of him dropping me. Not with his

muscular body and the protective look in his eyes. I trust him completely and that alone shocks me. When is the last time I allowed myself to trust anyone? Even someone who’s family like my brother Damien? Too long. But with a childhood like mind, was that really not to be expected? It feels nice to trust someone, even if it’s slightly.

You know, you could easily kiss him from your position right? Those luscious lips of his, just begging to be touched with ours….

Sabriel, I don’t think now’s the time. Besides we’re still becoming accustomed to trying this whole mate thing and that’s if I don’t get killed first.

That’s the thing with you humans, you always have to take it so damn slow. How do you expect to get laid, if you don’t start getting the show on the road?

I’m not ready for that Sabriel.

Well, at some stage your gonna do the deed. Unless you want me to take over and do it in wolf form with his

wolf? Because I’m totally ready to make that sacrifice for you Winter. Just say the word.

Um no thanks Sabriel. I would rather not have you make that sacrifice.

Sigh. Well if you change your mind woman, I’ll be ready to step in in a heartbeat.

She sends me inappropriate images of her getting it on with his wolf and I fight the urge to block her. Right now her presence is soothing, even if she’s frustrating me just a little bit. The day is pleasant at least, the sun shining down and a gentle breeze caressing my skin and hair. The sky is so blue with barely a cloud in the sky and I inhale the

scent of pine and dirt coming from the nearby forest as we walk. It’s a beautiful day, one that’s meant to be enjoyed.
