Jay's POV

I look at the beauty laying beside me, it's still hard to believe that I found her. After looking in so many packs, she stumbled inside our pack. I can never forget that day.

I was in the alpha office with Adrian telling him about some deal for one of our hotels when Tyler linked me about rogue in pack border. I didn't pay any attention to it as I know he could handle it. But after what 2 or 3 minutes I got another link from one of our pack warriors telling me that Tyler might need help with that rogue.
To be honest I didn't believe that. I mean I agree that he might not look the type to make anyone piss their pants from fear but I know what he's capable of. I thought that this is one of his infamous pranks where he would make fun of me for believing such a thing. But I still decide to humour him and went there.

What I found there was shocking, to say the least. Tyler was fighting or more like trying to subdue a small wolf who clearly had several wounds and was at the verge of fainting. But the wolf wasn't agreeing to that and was fighting with all her might while Tyler was trying to avoid any injury on both parts. He had a long scratch on his left leg and was bleeding badly. But for some reason I couldn't look away, I was in some trance which broke from a painful cry. My body reacted before my mind could and I found myself between two fighting wolves, only one of them was still standing. The little wolf had snapped their leg and was on the ground. I slowly kneeled in front of her not to startle her.
Her eyes were watching me warily, watching my every movement. I didn't at that time, why was I so intrigued in some rogue. I asked her if she could shift back so we could take her to the infirmary. She shook her head in no while keeping the eye contact whether to check that I don't make any sudden movement or she was too in the trance, like me. But the contact broke when she collapsed on the ground maybe cause of exertion or injuries.

I picked her up with the amount of care that I didn't know I could muster.

"Yes, yes I'm fine. Thank you for asking Jay."

I turned around to look at him, he had shifted back and was wearing some shorts. His leg had started healing though the cut was really deep and without medication would take a couple of days to heal.

"She……she is my mate. Tyler, I found my mate."

"Okay Buddy I'm happy for you but we needed to take her to the infirmary. She's bleeding badly."

I looked down at his words to notice my little mate still in her wolf form unconscious in my arms and my white t-shirt turning red from her blood. Guess that's the only encouragement I needed to start running to get her help that she needed badly.

When I reached there they took my mate from me and pushed me out of the room. They didn't let me see her as they started her treatment, I just wanted to hold her hand and take away all her pain. And I swear I would have barged in if Tyler didn't stop me. That day I understood how Kyle felt when he saw his mate in that state and why he refused to let him participate in training. I too wanted to lock her in a tower if that meant she would be safe, but I knew she would kick my ass for even thinking such thing. And I had seen her fight so I don't have any doubt on her.

Waiting for her to wake in the hospital was hard but waiting for her to open up to me was harder. She presented challenges at every point. There is never a dull moment with her. And when I look at her sleeping next to me I just feel happy. I don't have a better word to describe my feelings, I'm just happy. But I also feel guilty for being happy, it felt wrong to be happy when my family is going through so much. Eddy and Tyler were babies of our group, Eddy, cause she was the only girl in the group she was a weird combination of Queen and baby while Tyler being youngest and magnet for trouble. And watching one growing up in front of my eyes in just matter of days when other is out there suffering to protect us, it different kind of torture.

I never knew when they both grow up that start looking after us and I think Kyle and Xavier think that too. Kyle's guilt of not being able to protect his mate was already eating him but now not being able to protect his baby sister is making things so much worse. Xavier, who wanted a break from packs life, can't even leave packs border in fear of any attack happening against his family. And Adrian, that poor guy blames himself, I can't comprehend the reason though that's why I suggested him for leading the pack, cause technically he is the alpha's mate. He's doing his best in learning how to lead pack and his training. Tyler has taken the responsibility to handle each and every attack by himself and goddess there so many. He's trying himself out. And I, I'm trying my best to take care of everyone when they can't, I'm trying to glue them together.

I just want my sister back.

Edena's POV

After the day when I had impressed that asshole with my fighting skills………I don't know what had him impressed that it got me a hot bath and a hot meal. But the next day was different too as when he was picking his shaft he picked one for me too, which didn't help me much as it ended broken just like me in the end. And I didn't get any special treatment that day. It had been repeating for two days and today too, but… but today I think I was better than yesterday and day before. How could I say that?
Well, I did manage to shove him to the ground two times. Two times. Nah, actually he just stumbled a bit. Hey, that got me same special treatment so I guess that's good too.
I hope one day I'll be good enough to beat his ass.

I hope everyone is fine and I'll meet them soon.
