Saving His Feral Mate
Chapter 14: I think he’s delusional

Alpha Knox POV

Anger took over my body, as the rogue she-wolf prevented me from reaching my mate.

“Hold on a sec young buck, if you want to live another day, I suggest you head back the way you came.” The rogue she-wolf said, while holding my glare with her own. She was brave, I’ll give her that, but keeping me from my mate is a death wish.

“Jo, get this she-wolf out of my way, now!” I growled out, as my body started to tremble with rage.

“Ummm… Ma’am, could you please step aside so my Alpha over here can check on her?” Jo practically stuttered out, sounding like a nervous fool.

What the hell is he doing? He’s one of my warriors and ruthless, since when does he get intimidated by a tiny rogue? What the hell is with the Ma’am bullshit?

He started to approach and extended his arm to grab ahold of her, but quickly stop dead in his tracks when she turned the machete towards him.

“Listen carefully pretty boy, unless you want me to slice off that hand and slap you with it, I would get it out of my face.” She warned and her tone was dangerous. Jo flinched at her words and put his hands up in surrender.

“We aren’t going to hurt her, she’s my Alpha’s mate. He just wants to check and make sure she’s ok.” Jag tried to reason. He approached us slowly, keeping his hands out in front of him so she could see he meant no harm.

“Mate?” She laughed loudly, like it was the funniest thing she’s ever heard, causing me to frown. What kind of response was that?

As much as I want to take this rogue she-wolf out and get to my mate, I had a feeling they were friends and that this rogue was actually trying to protect my mate. So for now, I wasn’t gonna hurt her.

“It’s true, she’s my mate.” I said, trying to keep my voice calm, but the irritation was hard to hide.

“Ok… Funny thing is, you’re the second Alpha today claiming my girl Red over here, is their mate. The other one did this to her.” She said, while motioning to my mate with her free hand and I frowned at her words.

“What are you talking about?” I asked, both confused and irritated.

“The Alpha who brought these guys, referred to her as his mate, before he had his men attack us and drugged her.” The rogue she-wolf explained, while motioned to all the dead men laying around.

I inhaled deeply to see if I could recognize their scent. I could tell they weren’t rogues, they had the scent of a pack, It was familiar but I couldn’t quite put my finger on which pack it was.

“She’s my mate, he was lying.” I growled.

“Like I said, that means sweet f**k all to me. You’re still not touching her.” She said calmly, but with a hint of danger in her tone. She held her machete towards us and didn’t show an ounce of fear.

“Jo, Jag, get her out of my way. I need to check on my mate.” I barked out, losing the last bit of control I had left.

“I’m sorry boss, I can’t do it. This fine specimen right here, is my mate.” Jo replied, while motioned towards the rogue she-wolf. I glanced over at him, to see the worst case of love sick puppy dog eyes I’ve ever seen.

“Hold up there cowboy, I might be willing to give that d**k of yours a go, but let’s not throw that M word around like it’s a casual greeting. Not unless you’re from Australia and you certainly don’t sound like it.” The rogue she-wolf said, while glancing down at Jo’s d**k.

Now I was really confused, is she his mate or not?

“You most certainly are my mate and you’re beautiful.” Jo replied, with a goofy grin and his chest puffed out proudly. Not one bit phased by her denial.

“I know for a fact you’re not my mate, because I stuck a dagger through my mates heart, only after chopping off his balls.” She said casually, looking proud of herself. All of our eyes widened at her words, this chick was completely crazy.

“Enough, I don’t give a s**t about any of that. I’m not leaving without my mate. She’s injured, I can see an open wound on her shoulder. We need to get it looked at. Please, just let us take her to Betty and Tom’s cabin, their only about twenty minutes from here and they have first aid supplies.” I pleaded and came across slightly desperate.

I saw a curious look flash in her eyes, when I mentioned Betty and Tom. I’m hoping she knows them, being a rogue in this area.

“How do you know Betty and Tom?” She asked suspiciously.

“He brought them supplies, that’s how he knows they have a first aid kit, he brought it to them, along with food.” Jag pipped up from behind me.

“It’s true, I helped carry the boxes.” Jo added, while nodding excitedly.

She didn’t reply, she simply eye’d all three of us, clearly trying to determine if we were lying.

“ Please, you can come with us and if I try anything, I give you permission to cut my balls off.” I added, trying desperately to convince her that I wasn’t a threat.

“Alpha, don’t tempt me with a good time.” She replied with a wink and before I could say anything else, she spoke again.

“I’ll let you take her to Betty and Tom’s, but I’m coming with you and if you try anything, you can k**s your balls goodbye. Also, if that little stud muffin over there, calls me the M word one more time, he’s also gonna be missing his love sacks.” The rogue said, while motioning her head towards Jo. Jo had his hands up in surrender, but somehow seemed turned on by her words.

“Deal.” I replied and she finally stepped to the side, letting me get to my mate.

I rushed to her side and knelt down beside her. I was relieved when I saw her chest rise and fall, letting me know she was alive. My heart skipped a beat as I looked her over, she was drop dead gorgeous. She had long wild red hair, smooth creamy skin, a slim, yet muscular body and curves in all the right places.

I heard Jag clear his throat, bringing me out of my trance. I quickly realized she was naked in front of my men.

“Get me a shirt from the bag and don’t look.” I growled out.

“Yes, Alpha.” He replied and quickly ran over to the bag we brought.

“Well s**t, with a possessive growl like that, you almost have me fooled that you’re actually her mate.” The rogue she-wolf joke.

“I am.” I growled, feeling annoyed that she still didn’t believe me.

I grabbed the shirt Jag handed me and slipped it over my mates head, covering her exposed body. I felt sparks when our skin touched and it was the most amazing sensation I’ve ever felt. I scooped her up into my arms, bridal style and was ready to carry her back to the cabin.

“Here.” Jag said, while handing the rogue she-wolf a T-shirt.

“What’s that for?” She asked, with a disgusted frown.

“To cover your body.” Jag replied, sounding confused.

“If the moon goddess wanted me to wear clothes, I would of been born with them on.” The rogue she-wolf said, with the same frown.

“But you’re wearing cowboy boots?” He replied, still confused.

“Ya, what’s your point?” She questioned, with a confused frown.

“You just said, if the moon goddess wanted you to be wearing clothes, you would of been born with th… You know what, it doesn’t matter, never mind.” Jag replied, sounding completely baffled by the whole interaction. Jo on the other hand, still had the same goofy grin and love sick puppy dog eyes, while staring at his mate.

“Let’s go.” I ordered and we all started to walk.

My mate was as light as a feather and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She’s absolutely perfect, she looked so peaceful laying in my arms and it made even more curious to know what caused her to be the way she is.

“You said there was another Alpha, claiming to be her mate. What happened to him?” I asked, while taking in every inch of my mates face.

“That coward ran away, when all his men were dead and the twins showed up.” She replied and I could hear the disgust in her voice.

“Who are the twins?” I asked curiously. Not liking the fact that my mate might of had male friends.

“Brothers, both Alpha’s like you, but cooler.” She replied casually and I glared at her.

“Rogues?” I asked, ignoring her disrespectful comment.

“Yup, that’s what makes them cooler. Believe it or not, not every rogue is bad. We might stick to ourselves for the most part, but there’s a select few of us that look out for one another. Like my girl Red, I don’t know how many fights we’ve fought together, she’s always had my back and I’ll always have hers. She’s a bit of a s**t magnet, I’ve lost count of the number of wolves that have come for her over the past two years, but she’s still my girl.” The rogue replied, while shrugging her shoulders.

“You keep calling her Red, why?” I asked.

“Pretty obvious.” She replied, while holding up a piece of my mates hair and rolling her eyes.

“Have you ever seen her human form, before today?” I asked and waited anxiously for her to answer.

“No, this was a first. Now that I think about it, that asshat of an Alpha, called her Chloe.” She replied with a thoughtful frown.

“Chloe.” I repeated the name, more to myself.

“What can we call you?” Jo asked, with hopeful eyes. Seriously, I need to have a chat with the guy, he’s going soft on me.

“Max.” She replied in short tone.

“Well Max, I’m Jo, this is Jag and that’s our Alpha, Knox.” Jo continued, with a s**t eating grin on his face. Max on the other hand, looked bored with his attempt to make small talk.

We walked for around 20 minutes, before we reach the cabin. Betty and Tom were waiting out front.

“Oh my goddess, is she ok?” Betty asked, with concern clear in her voice as she ran towards us.

“She was drugged and has a wound on her shoulder, otherwise, she seems fine.” I replied, while Betty looked her over, like a concerned parent.

“Hey B, I missed ya.” Max said, blowing Betty a k**s.

“Max, what happened?” Betty asked, while giving Max a tight hug.

“Some Alpha came looking for our girl Red and claimed to be her mate. He ordered his men to attack us, before drugging her.” Max replied.

“Him?!” Betty asked, while pointing at me. If looks could kill, I’d be dead.

“No, believe or not, he’s the second Alpha of the day to claim her as his mate.” Max replied with an eye roll, making Betty’s glare soften slightly.

“I think he’s delusional.” Max whispered into Betty’s ear, but I heard her.

“She is my mate.” I growled out.

“Bring her inside, I’ll get the first aid kit.” Tom order, breaking some of the tension.

I quickly made my way inside, while every else followed.

There’s no way I can leave her out here, not after today. Will Betty, Tom and Max even let me take her? Goddess help me, I only want to do what’s best and safest for my mate.
