"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you."
"It's not your fault. T-they were big. A-and it was k-kinda three against one there. I-If anything I'm sorry I c-couldn't help." Kate's quivering voice replied.
"No no. I wouldn't want you guys to fight. It's my job to protect you guys."
"I would forgive you, but there's nothing to forgive you about. Kate's right." Liam spoke.
"Jeez Liam you sound like a wise old man." I said jokingly, trying to lighten the mood as much as possible.
They both returned a sad smile.
"You need the blanket more than us, here." Kate said, taking the blanket off of herself and Liam and wrapping it around me. "Besides we at least have some clothes on, you uh don't." She said chuckling a bit. I smiled at her in return, happy she could find a little bit of happiness in this situation.
We sat in silence for a few minutes.
So if my mate is in here they might not kill us. I mean they haven't yet either, so that's a good sign. I wonder who my mate is.
'It could just be a commoner.'
'Oma! Wait how did you know that smell means mate?'
'Instinct.'
'Well......What do you think we should do?' I questioned.
'Well we should probably just wait. It doesn't seem like we would be able to escape this cell.'
'You're right.'
'I know.' She stated matter-of-factly.
'Jeez Oma why are you so cocky.'
'I'm not. Hey did you notice the smell getting stronger.'
I didn't. But she was right. The smell was drowning everything out now. I could hear Oma trying to get my attention, but I couldn't concentrate on what she was saying. The smell. His smell. My mate's smell.
I started to hear footsteps. Even the way he walked sounded powerful.
I started getting jumpy. Liam and Kate huddled closer to me, hiding there faces in the blanket. I could hear his pace quicken. Kate whimpered, I nonchalantly patted her head, comforting her in just the slightest bit. Both Liam and Kate hid behind me for protection.
Just than a man came around the corner. But of course not just any man. He was my gorgeous mate. He stood over six feet tall, had muscles anyone would die for, and his eyes......
My thoughts stopped when he opened the door, well more like broke the door open. He held power, lots of power. Power only an alpha could have. This man, this alpha, was my mate.
I could barely focus on what was going on around me. I couldn't take my eyes off my mate, and he couldn't either.
Mate. He mumbled under his breath. But I heard him. And so did Liam and Kate. I could practically feel their confusion and shock running off of them.
'Mate! Mate! Mate! And he's an alpha! Eeeek, just look at him, he's stunning!'- Oma was chanting in my head.
'Y-yea he is.' I gulped. I would've ran to him if it wasn't for Liam and Kate clinging on to me for dear life.
'RUN TO HIM!' Oma cried.
I couldn't tho. I was frozen. How could a rouge like me be mated to an alpha?
It didn't make sense.
He was slowly walking towards me.
"Rise." His voice boomed.
I did as he asked, Liam and Kate letting go of the blanket.
I looked down only for him to my face back up to look at him. Fireworks spread through my body at his touch. I shivered.
"Do you not have any clothing?" He said, voice full of concern.
It took me a moment to answer. "N-no."
He started unbuttoning his white shirt. His chest was exposed making me bite my lip and blush slightly. He took of his shirt and wrapped it around me and took the blanket of of me.
He had a full view of my naked front side. I could see his breath catch. But he quickly shook his head and buttoned up his shirt that was now on me. His scent was all over me, making me sigh out.
He grunted in approvement. The he looked behind me at Liam and Kate. "Who are they?" His husky voice asked.
"T-they're my brother and another rouge we took in about a week ago." He nodded.
I was shaking slightly, adrenaline running through my veins. I couldn't look away from his toned body.
He grabbed my chin lightly, pulling my head up so I was looking him in the eyes. I blushed furiously. I could see a hint of amusement in his eyes.
I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. "Close your mouth darling you'll catch fly's." I immediately closed my mouth, blushing more if possible.
He closed his eyes for a second. "My beta Sebastian will be here to help you in a minute." Was all he said before he left, turning around the corner and out of sight.
"I-Is it just me or was he really nice?" Liam asked after a moment.
"H-he's my mate Liam." I said turning around and facing them again.
His eyes widened in shock. "W-WHAT?!" He whisper yelled at the same time. I chuckled slightly. "I really don't know. I've been smelling his scent for a little while now tho."
"W-what's a mate?" Kate asked. I was surprised she didn't know what a mate was, saying that I was taught what they were when I was three. But then again she's young and been through a lot. No one she was with would've told her.
But that I smiled at her and explained it to her. "A mate is someone you are supposed to me with. As soon as you were born the moon goddess decided who you where mated with. There is a connection, a bond like no other between you and your mate. You are connected in spirit with them before you even meet them. But you're somewhat connected in body too once you complete the mating process. They can feel the pain you feel, the emotions, everything."
"They sound wonderful! Can I have one too?!"
"Yes of course, you already have one though."
"How do I know it's them?" She asked curiously.
"Well, once you get a little older you can smell there scent, it's the best smell ever. Don't worry, you'll know it's them right away. Ok?"
She nodded eagerly. "B-but one more question." She tilted her head to the side. "How do you complete the mating process?"
"A-and that's a discussion for another day!" I quickly yelled blushing slightly.
I heard snickers coming from the hall. That made me realize I never heard his footsteps walking away.
Shit.
"I-I didn't know y-you were still there." I muttered, knowing he heard tho.
He walked out from behind the corner. "I was just waiting for my beta. Why? Embarrassed? Liam you're sister gets flustered easily doesn't she?" He said turning his attention to my brother.
"W-well, from what I c-can tell, yes." He said slightly nervous while he talked to my alpha mate.
He chuckled in return. "Good to know." Was all he said before another figure came around the corner.
"This is Sebastian, my beta. He'll help you." He said and walked away.
Just then I realized I didn't know his name yet. Darn it.
'Oh no we already suck as a mate!' Oma cried in my mind.
I ignored her, turning to his beta instead. "W-what's his name."
"Oh, it's Adrian."
As soon as he said his name I fell in love with it.
Adrian.
Adrian the alpha is my mate.
I could definitely live with that.
