MUTE AND ABUSED MATE
' 5 '

Graysen's point of view:

For the remainder of the day, I didn't see Fleurie.

In the school, her scent was faint. When I first saw her scarred andbruised face, I was filled with rage. I smelled a male's scent on her;perhaps that man did it all to her.

Is he her boyfriend? Is it her brother? Is it a member of her family? Herfather or mother? I had been thinking about her all day. I couldn't comeup with anything else to think about or work on.

I'm here at my office, working on some pack business.

I sigh and look out the ceiling-to-floor window. A lot of pups were outplaying with their friends and some parents were watching their kids inwolf form.

I can hear footsteps and Someone began knocking on the door a fewmoments later.

"Come in," the door opened, and my beta Martin entered; I had senthim earlier to get information about Fleurie.

"Alpha, I brought the information you requested,” he continued with arespectful tone obvious in his voice, holding out a thin yellow file to me."Read it out loud for me," I say as I lean back in my chair, eager to hear." Fleurie Collision, She lives In a small cabin on Road 57F. On August 4,1999, she was born. Her age is eighteen years. Her father, RichardNixon, lives with her. When she was eight years old, her mother died.She died of breast cancer, as is documented, but she was never buriedor had any formal funeral. Her brother had gone missing after hermother died "He finished shutting and placed the thin yellow file on themarbled table.

"Are you sure this is everything? Why is there no information on herfather?" I ask, confused.

"I couldn't discover any information on her father; it's as if he neverexisted, and she didn't even remain at one school for more than threemonths for unclear reasons," Martin said as I nodded and let him leave.There's something fishy about her father; how can someone be withoutany information registered?

I should approach her more closely. I have wished to be with my matesince I was a youngster, and I have vowed to defend her witheverything I have, even if it means my life.

My wolf went berserk when I saw her today, chanting and pacing. I felta profound connection between us that I couldn't shake. I have to takeaction. All of these bruises will be one more reason to be much close toher. They seemed new when I saw them today.

We must help our mate. Dean, my wolf, stated.

I know.

Mate is in pain, and we will replace out who is to blame. My heartsqueezed as he uttered it.

We'll figure it out.

I get up and walk out of the office to the nearby clearing where weexercise.

I went along the training clearing, watching them train and bowwhenever they spotted me.

I'm not sure what occurred, but I'm suddenly having trouble breathingand my eyesight is going cloudy.

I drop to the ground; everything is spinning, and I hear muffled peopleyelling at me, but I can't even respond because the anguish is toosevere; it's as if my soul has escaped.

I noticed black flecks everywhere before the darkness took over,

"I can't detect anything wrong with his body; it must be a mate,” DoctorDavid said to someone, and I recognized it as my mother, Victoria."What are you talking about? He still hasn't found his mate” I can tellshe's worried, as she asked.

"With all due respect, Luna, I truly believe it is his mate since I can'tseem to replace a scratch on his body," Doctor David says as I open myeyes.

"Mom?" She glanced at me with tears in her eyes

"What happened, honey?" she said, clutching my hand.

"I'm not sure, but I'm alright, don't worry," I said as I sat up.

"He said it's your mate's pain, not yours," she continued, her gaze fixedon Doctor David.

"I found her."

"What?" she murmured, her eyes widening.

"I found her, my mate, in school today; she is human," I repeated with agroan as I stretched my aching body.

"Why is she in pain?" She mumbles to herself.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out," I say as I get out of the hospitalbed and walk to the pack house and directly to the conference roomMartin, Bryce, Cole, and Emilio, please drop everything and come to theconference room I said as I use the mind

Cole and Emilio are the pack’s strongest and most trusted fighters.

I should keep a watch on Fleurie's residence, particularly her father.They came in quickly and took their seats around the large conferenceroom table.

"I sent Martin to get some information about Fleurie, the new girl in ourschool who is my mate and your Luna. I want you all patrolling abouther house and informing me of anything that happens there, Cole andEmilio you will keep an eye on her father Richard Nixon, Bryce andMartin you will guard Fleurie and follow her everywhere she goes. I willdemand a report every hour from everyone. If Fleurie is in danger,please contact me and do anything you can until I arrive. Did you getit?"

"Yes, Alpha,” they say and bow, I dismiss them to do what they weredoing before.

I'll replace out what's going on as quickly as possible.

I will protect my mate.
