I watched my mate in the rearview mirror as I drove us back to the packhouse. She was sitting i n the back seat, scooting her body near the window while her eyes were focused on the view outside the car. Beside me was Alpha Jacob, who was sitting too comfortably. I could feel at any moment he would throw jabs at me just based on the smug smirk on his face, but I wasn‘t concerned. 

I wanted to know what my beautiful mate was thinking. Beautiful. Despite the slight bruises on the sides of her cheeks, she was still mesmerizing. And I couldn‘t believe she showed up in my territory after three months. 

I didn’t want to have high hopes when we went to the border, but by the time we neared the said place, Hunter started prancing around. He was restless and wanted out, and it just gave m e a sign that it was indeed our mate waiting for us. My breathing hitched when the border came into view. I failed to notice everyone except her and how her long hair was dancing gracefully with the wind. 

My mate. She was breathtaking. It has been too long since I last saw her, but the feelings haven‘t changed. I knew she left me, but I still wanted her. 

It was only then that I realized someone was holding her. I saw the harsh way she was pulled and pushed. 

And everything went into a blur after that. 

I knew I could have done more to his uncle, but with my mate around, I didn‘t want her to see that other side of me. She might not understand the rage in my chest upon knowing that someone has physically assaulted her. And I didn‘t know if her uncle despite what he did to her, was someone important in her life, and the last thing I wanted was to hurt her emotionally. 

But now she‘s here with me, sitting in the backseat of my car. 

Where was she all this time? Where was she for the last three months? My heart clenched at the thought of her being held captive by his uncle. Was she locked up? Was she beaten all this time? 

Guilt washed over me as I remembered Andrea. Although I didn‘t touch a single strand of her hair, I held her captive and just left her with a little freedom. 

Was my mate suffering from the same thing or even worse? 

I gripped the stirring wheel tightly as the thought of my mate suffering ten folds of all the pain I inflicted on Andrea for the weeks she was in my territory filled me with dread. What was I thinking then?
