His Arrogant Human Mate novel Chapter 89

"I can handle this," I told them. "Just give me a couple minutes."

"Whose blood is that?" Dominic asked.

From punching the one guy to touching where my head was now bleeding profusely, I had collected quite a bit of blood on my shirt and arms. "Um... mostly mine," I confirmed.

"I know you aren't my Beta, but could you-"

Andrew nodded. "No need to ask. Caroline, why don't you go to the hospital with Dominic and let me wrap this up?"

I looked down at my hands and over at the sink where I had hit my head, which had some blood on it. But the tile underneath the sink had a good-sized puddle where I had laid for a little bit. "No, it's okay. I'll clean it up."

Dominic called my name. "Sugar, let Andrew do it. Come on."

"They tried to 'break' me. I don't even know what that means," I stated, motioning towards the moaning woman and the two guys who were backed up against the nearest wall with their palms up. "How rude is that?"

"She's getting delirious from acute blood loss and shock. Get her to the infirmary," Andrew ordered.

I wagged my head. "I'm fine, really. I'm totally not seeing like three of everything right now. I don't want to get my head shaved."

Dominic stepped forward and grasped my elbow tightly. "Trouble just follows you wherever you go, doesn't it, sugar?"

I shrugged. "Maybe, but I don't want them to think I'm weak so if you'll just let me-"

"You shattered his nose, chipped his teeth, choked her out, and are still standing while blood pours down your back. All while still in heat. I think we have all established just how strong you are, sweetheart," Dominic murmured. "Let's get you to a doctor."

Dom grabbed a stack of paper towels from a countertop next to the sinks, using half of it to press into my head and saving the other half for later.

I let him pull me out of the bathroom, grumbling about how annoyed I was with those three jerks. Alfie was standing in shock just outside the bathroom, eyes wide. "Alf, I'm fine," I assured him. "I'm just gonna get my head shaved, throw up, and we'll be good to go by tonight."

The alpha kissed my cheek and waved to my best friend before making his hasty exit, closing the door softly behind him. Once he was gone, Alfie turned to me. "How are you feeling? Emotionally, psychologically?"

I smiled softly. "I'm fine, Alf. A little annoyed with the situation though. I'm just tired of it all."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just... It gets old. You know, all of these attacks have been on me. Not Dominic. And I'm not saying that to blame him, because it isn't his fault nor do I want him to get hurt. But I didn't ask for this, you know? Dominic brought me here. This is his life that I was dragged into. Instead of them respecting his decision, they're trying to either kill or scare me off," I explained.

Alfie nodded. "I get it. It is different, being mated to an alpha. I didn't quite understand it until we were into the second week at our new pack."

"I just wish it was easier. Sometimes I think it would be better if he weren't an alpha."

I heard Alfie's sigh. I heard the settling of the house and the wind pressing against the walls outside. But what I didn't hear was the sound of Dominic's footsteps finally leaving the space just outside the door, lifting his weight off from where he was leaning against it.
