Saved By My Mate novel Chapter 3

"My name is Alpha Bryson. Is she your mate?" I ask the boy. He nods, with a small smile on his face. "I have a mate too. Do you want to see a picture of her?"

"Yes please," the girl says her eyes peeking over the boys shoulders. Her voice is hoarse, her eyes red from crying.

I grab the picture of Everett and I in the woods and show them. "This is my mate, Everett. She went missing years ago because of the same people that attacked your pack. I know how important mates are and I promise I won't let you two be separated. What are your names?"

"Justin," the boy says and pulls the girl so she stands beside him. She clutches his hand in hers and I see her arm is all stitched up. She must have been injured during the attack.

"My name's Alice," she whispers and pushes her black hair behind her ears. Justin's brown hair is full of dirt and so is Alice's. They must be tired and need to clean up.

"How old are you?" I ask them. They seem to be the same age and relatively young.

"We're seven." Justin answers. They are young. Almost around the age I lost Everett.

"Welcome to The Lupis Pack. I promise to protect you two. Nothing will happen to you here." I smile and open the door. "Why don't I show you around and then we can get you guys settled in?"

Everett

After my time in the dungeon, Sir didn't come back to my room for three days. The door didn't open either. Water was poured on the floor and flowed from the small crack under the door.

I licked it up like a dog, unable to stop the thirst that clawed at my throat or the hunger that pierced my stomach. It was never ending in this darkness. Never ending pain. I wanted it to stop. I wanted it to end.

I laid in the same spot not wanting to move and not able to either. My body covered in bruises, deep cuts, finger prints, and Sir. Wolves Bane coursed through my veins making the slightest movement scorch and burn through me like a fire. Breathing was becoming hard as the Wolves Bane infected me and made me unable to move but continued to scorch and burn trails through my body.

Wolves Bane is one of Sir's favourite methods to hurt me. The endless pain lasts days after. I don't think the Wolves Bane really ever leaves my body. I feel the constant scorch, but after a while I can move at least.

My stomach burns and blood gushes into my mouth and onto the floor. This always happen with Wolves Bane. It's slowly eating me from the inside. Sir knows not to inject too much. Sadly.

The door opens and I manage to drag myself an inch to try and get away but to no avail. Sir steps on my back directly on top of a gash he created days ago. A short scream erupts from my mouth.

"Shut up!" Sir barks and kick my head.

"I find that Wolves Bane is very effective. It never really leaves the body and leaves them in pain even after you have finished. As shown with Everett here. I inject Wolves Bane directly into her blood stream and then use Wolves Bane tipped knifes to leave scarring and make it the most painful."

A gasp comes from one of them and I look up and see Jackson starring at me with his mouth open. His eyes hold questions and anger. And sadness. Out of all the questions I see in this man's eyes the biggest question of how have I survived and if I will survive much longer shine the brightest.

I shake my head and tears come out of my eyes and I continue to look at Jackson. Begging for help.

And I see the slight nod of his head before Sir's voice snaps his attention away.

"Something the matter Jackson?" Sir asks.

"No not at all." Jackson says putting a mask over his face. "I'm just impressed that she has been able to survive this long. She's very strong."

"Yes she is." Sir says, looking at me suspiciously. I look away and lay my head on the ground and lay silently on the ground. Red blood smearing on cheek. "Let's go to my office and we can talk about my methods some more, shall we?"
