chapter 14

(Blake’s pov)

Why the hell are they blocking me from my mate! I thought. I pushed past them and stood in front of Scarlet. “Scarlet step away from him…” I said. I was staring at her intensely.  Her body started shaking violently, her hands balled to fists and when I saw her eyes turned red. Oh shit!

One moment she was standing there giving me the death glare, the next thing I knew she lunged at me. Too shocked to react, I fell to the ground with her. Oomph!

My brain was still trying to process what just happen. Why is my mate attacking me?! My hands were trapped beside me. She started punching and snarling at my face. Her fingernails came in contact with my cheeks. With one hard pull, she took a long deep chunk of my skin. “agrh!” I said. I used my wolf strength and pushed her off me. She fell to the floor, while I stood up quickly holding my injured cheek.

He eyes were still bright red, she got off the floor quickly and lunged at me again. I dint want to hurt my mate but I cant show the pack that their alpha is weak. So when she leaped I was ready. She came right for my face again. I brought my arms to block her. She just throwing punches at me. “Scarlet stop this at once! Im your alpha!” I commanded. What ever I said only seem to fuel her anger further. The pack dint interfere but watched. They know if they interfere in an alpha’s fight, its an insult.

I was focusing in not trying to hurt her but still trying protect my face that I dint see her foot connect to my groin. I cupped my groin while slowly backing away. I groaned. She took the chance of my vulnerability and did a right hook to my jaw. I fell to the ground, my hand now holding my throbbing jaw and the other on my groin. “ugh…” I groaned. She stormed up to me and punched my face. I heard something crack. Blood trickled down. “shit! Scarlet are you fucking crazy!” I screamed. She dint say anything, just seething away. She moved away from me, I couldn’t see her so I though it was over.

I spoke too soon, she was coming back and she was holding something. Holy fuck! My eyes grew wide. She was holding a shovel. She must have gotten from beside the house. “you deserve nothing but pain” was all she said but she sounded different. It sounded animalistic like, I wasn’t really paying attention to that right now but to the woman holding up the shovel to me. “I know I deserved this, I deserved so much more pain I have caused you” with that thought I closed my eyes. Better to let all the bottled anger out now then later. At least then she wont be so angry and I can try to win her forgiveness then her love.

As I shut my eyes and waited for the shovel to connect to me. Waiting… but nothing came. I opened my eyes to see what happened. Scarlet was laying on the floor unconscious. With Brian, my beta beside her. “what happened?” I manage to say. “im sorry alpha, forgive me. My duty is to protect you from any harm… even if its your mate… she was going to hit you with the shovel so I hit her head.” he said. “don’t you hit her!” I spoke while trying to get up. “im sorry alpha, she left me no choice” he said with his head hung low. I sighed, I know why he did it. Its his duty. “I understand…”. I looked at her limp body on the floor and then to the prisoner. He was also on the floor unconscious.

By pack law its stated who ever attacks the alpha must be kept in the cellar for questioning and wait for their sentence. The law applies even to mates. I cant give her any special treatment or my pack will see me as unfair but im trying to win her back and I don’t think locking her up with this rogue is a good idea. I did a frustrated sigh. What do I do?! I cant kill that bloody rogue, Scarlet is connected to him. The odds are against me. not only did she attack me, she and the prisoners are rogues trespassing on pack’s land. “forgive me Scarlet” I whispered while picking her up. “take the prisoner back to the cellar and stand guard with them. When they are conscious mind link me” I commanded. “yes alpha” spoke the two previous guards and they carried him.

I carried Scarlet to the cellar. As I carried her, I studied her features. She look so beautiful, she matured to a fine woman. High cheek bones, her slight chubby cheeks gone, her hair has more mass and color to it than it had 3 years ago. I carried her down the steps to the silver cell. I placed her gently on the bed. Her cell was beside the rogue’s. I caressed her soft cheek with my fingers. “your so beautiful” I spoke softly. I kissed her forehead and left her cell. The guards were standing guard for when they wake up.

I walked back to my office and slumped on the chair. “what the hell am I going to do?” I said. *knock knock* “come in” I shouted. “babe I was waiting for you upstairs… I still have my surprise…” Gwen popped her in but stopped speaking when she saw Blake all flustered up. She strode towards him and sat on his lap. “babe what’s wrong” she was about to cup his face but stop when she saw the bruises. His lip was busted, a black eye and a long deep gash. “shit! What happened babe?! Were you fighting with the prisoner just now?” she got up from him and mind link the pack doctor. A minute later the doctor came in. “what happened?” Dr. Mandel asked. “go check the alpha, his face looks like a pulp” Gwen spoke. He move towards him and started cleaning his wounds.

Once he finished patching him up he left the room. The whole time Blake dint speak, he was thinking about her. His mate. “babe what’s wrong? You been very quite.” she said. She was getting worried. Blake looked up to her and said “she’s back…”. Gwen knew what he was talking about. He told her before about his mate, how he treated her, everything… Gwen hugged him “it will be alright…” she said.
