Saving His Feral Mate
Chapter 60: Wake up sleeping beauty

*TRIGGER WARNING, THERE’S DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE FORM OF THREATS IN THIS CHAPTER.*

Max POV

I still couldn’t believe that the twins turned out to be Sheryl’s second chance mates. They’re going to ruin her in the best kind of way, she was definitely in for one hell of a surprise.

When I saw Sheryl earlier, she was crying and acting oddly. I thought something might have been wrong with the pup, but I was way off. When I found out that she was the twins mate, her behaviour made complete sense. She was crying because she didn’t think they would accept her. Well scratch that, she didn’t think Parker would accept her. She was completely oblivious to the fact that he was a twin and that she actually had two mates. I’m thinking of leaving that tidbit of information out of our chat. I would much rather see her face when she meets them in person and figures it out on her own.

‘You’re evil.’ My wolf chuckled in my head.

‘Don’t tell me you’re not excited to see her reaction.’ I retorted and she continued to chuckled, but didn’t reply.

My wolf was no saint, she would do the same thing if she was in control. Plus in my opinion, I wasn’t being evil, but rather considerate. Who would want someone to tell them what was in a present, before they had a chance to unwrap it? Exactly, no one. She’s going to be thrilled when she replaces out she gets double the love. Isn’t there a saying, two is better than one? Who wouldn’t want two hot Alphas ravaging their body every night? Hell, sign me up.

‘Get that thought out of your head. We have a mate and he’s perfect.’ My wolf growled.

‘Settle down sparky, they’re taken anyway.’ I teased, earning me another growl.

The twins wanted me to have a chat with Sheryl and vouch for them, that I would definitely do. Those two guys are some of the most loyal men I’ve ever met and they deserve a mate more than anyone.

I actually praised the moon goddess for such a perfect pairing. Sheryl was timid, innocent and very insecure, thanks to Kyle. The twins on the other hand, were strong, protective and loyal to the core. They complemented each other perfectly.

I left the hospital in search of Sheryl. I shouldn’t even be on Knox’s territory given my wanted status, but this was way too important for me to ignore. Once I was done talking to Sheryl, I would leave immediately and head back to the rogue camp.

I was making my way to the pack house when I bumped into Chloe, who was headed towards the hospital.

“Hey, where you going?” Chloe asked.

“To replace Sheryl, I need to have a little chat with her.” I replied.

“You really shouldn’t be seen by anyone. Knox said that Alpha Alec was looking for you and already suspects that you might be staying here.” Chloe replied with a concerned frown.

“I know, I’ll make it quick. This is pretty important.” I said and saw the curiosity flash across her face.

“Did something happen to Sheryl?” She asked.

“Kind of, but nothing bad. She found her second chance mate or should I say, mates.” I replied with a smirk. It took a minute, but once the realization hit her, her eyes widened.

“No way!!!” She practically squealed.

“Parker and Preston?” She asked and I nodded in acknowledgement.

“Does she know?” Chloe asked.

“She knows about Parker, but not Preston.” I answered and the same mischievous grin I had early appeared on Chloe’s face.

“She ran off before he woke up. She thought he would reject her.” I added and her smile fell.

“Did you tell them about her situation?” She asked in a more serious tone.

“Yup, and they don’t give a s**t about her past. Those two are already head over heels for her.” I replied.

“So, you’re going to tell Sheryl about them?” She asked curiously.

“Well, I’m going to tell her about Parker. I don’t really think it’s my place to ruin the entire surprise.” I replied and we both grinned mischievously.

“That girl’s probably a freak behind closed doors. Why else would the mood Goddess give her twins?” Chloe said and we both chuckled.

“Right?! That’s exactly what I said to the twins before they got all growly with me.” I replied.

“I’m coming with you. I think she’s in her room, I saw her run in there earlier looking upset.” Chloe stated and I nodded before we headed into the pack house.

When we reached her bedroom door, I knocked.

“Come in.” I heard Sheryl announce from inside the room.

I opened the door and found Sheryl sitting on the bed. She looked upset, her cheeks were stained with tears and her eyes were red and puffy. It was clear she hadn’t stopped crying since I saw her earlier.

“What are you two doing here?” She asked, while wiping the tears from her cheeks.

“We need to talk.” I said pointedly and noticed that she immediately became nervous. I sat on the bed next to her, while Chloe sat on the other side.

“Why are you upset?” I asked, getting straight to the point.

“It’s nothing, I’m just extra emotional because of all the hormon…” She stated and I quickly cut her off.

“Lie to me again and l’ll bend you over my knee and spank you.” I said sternly and watched her eyes widen in shock. Ok, I wasn’t really going to do it, but her reaction was definitely priceless. I saw Chloe covering her mouth in an attempt to hide her own amusement.

“I met my second chance mate.” Sheryl blurted out.

“Well, I didn’t actually meet him, I only saw him. He’s a patient at the hospital and I took off before he saw me.” She added and I could hear the sadness in her voice.

“Was he ugly? Is that why you’re upset?” I asked.

“No, he was definitely not ugly.” She immediately replied.

“Then why are you sad? This should be a good thing, shouldn’t it? Chloe asked and Sheryl let out a humourless chuckle.

“I’m pregnant with another man’s pup. He’s going to reject me when he replaces out.” Sheryl replied and more tears fell from her eyes.

“You don’t know that, Sheryl. What if I told you he already knows about your situation and doesn’t care one bit. He wants both you and your pup in his life.” I said and she shook her head.

“No, he’ll reject me and I can’t let that happen. I almost lost the baby the last time, I won’t risk it again.” She replied and I was actually impressed with the amount of determination in her voice.

“You don’t know this, but Parker was actually from my old pack. We grew up together and I know him quite well. He’s a really good guy and he would never hurt you or the pup.” Chloe said truthfully, but in a soft and comforting voice.

I was relieved that Chloe came with me, I quickly realized that she was way better with her words. I was more about the tough love, while Chloe’s approach was much softer.

“But he smelled like a rogue?” Sheryl replied.

“Yes he’s a rogue, but only because Cameron tried to have him killed. You see, he was the rightful heir to the pack, Cameron was worried that he would try and claim it, so he sent some of his warriors to dispose of Parker and his family. Parker and his brother survived and became rogues.” Chloe replied and a thoughtful frown appeared on Sheryl’s face.

“Did I ever tell you about when I became a rogue?” I asked and she shook her head.

“Well, I was beyond broken at that time and near death. Parker and his brother found me, they nursed me back to health and got me back on my feet.” I explained.

“I just don’t know…” Sheryl whispered and her voice trailed off at the end. I could tell she was still hesitant.

“Listen, you need to talk to him, he deserves at least that. I promise he won’t reject you. I can even be there if that would make you more comfortable.” I offered.

“I’m not sure I’m ready for any of this.” Sheryl admitted in a shaky voice.

“Let me ask you this.” I said and paused to make sure I had her full attention.

“Are you unsure because you’re scared or because you don’t know if you want another mate?” I asked and this was an important question. If she was just scared, I would keep pushing her. But if she wasn’t sure about another mate, that was something completely different and her choice to make.

“I always wanted a mate who love me, I still do.” She admitted with a shrug and that was enough to answer my question, she was just scared.

“Good, because you have a mate waiting for you at the hospital who will love both you and your pup.” I replied and put my hand on her baby bump.

“What happened to him? I mean, why is he in the hospital.” She asked and I could see the concern on her face.

“Cameron attacked us last night and he took a silver bullet for his brother.” I replied and saw anger flash across her eyes, mixed with pride.

“So what do you say? Will you at least talk to him?” I asked.

“Ok, but I need some time to gather my thoughts. Will you meet me at the hospital tomorrow morning?” She asked.

“Absolutely I can.” I replied with a victorious smile.

“You’re going to absolute love him. He’s a total sweetheart and his brother isn’t that bad looking either.” Chloe joked before winking at Sheryl.

“I’ll take your word for it.” Sheryl replied with a chuckle. I knew what Chloe was up to with the brother comment, but it went right over Sheryl’s head. I can’t wait for her reaction tomorrow when she figures out that by brother, Chloe really meant twin brother.

“Alright, we’re going to get out of your hair. I’ll see out at the hospital around 8:00am.” I said as Chloe and I stood from the bed.

“Thank you guys for this, I already feel way better.” She admitted with a genuine smile.

“Anytime girl, you deserve to be happy and I know you will be with them…I mean him.” I said and internally cursed myself for the slip up. Luckily she didn’t seem fazed by what I said. Her smile grew bigger and she actually looked excited.

Chloe and I hugged Sheryl before leaving the room. I was really happy that we were able to change her mind on the matter. I can actually see an amazing future for the four of them and that made me happy.

Kyle POV

I was on the phone with Alpha Alec, giving him an update on pack business, when I noticed that rogue named Max, walking towards the pack house. She couldn’t see me because I was hidden behind some bushes.

As she got closer, my brothers supposed mate, Chloe, walked out of the pack house. They stopped to talk with each other just outside the front doors. I quickly hung up the phone and started eavesdropping.

As soon as they started talking, I was overwhelmed with rage. My entire body started to tremble. They were talking about Sheryl and how she had found her second chance mate, or rather mates. What the hell? She was mine! I didn’t care that she rejected me, she was still mine. That was my pup growing in her belly and I wasn’t about to let anyone else have them.

I already had a plan in place for my mate, but with this new information I needed to move it up. I had been waiting for my punishment to end, so that I had my wolf back when I made a move. But now I can’t wait, I’ll have to do this without him.

I followed Max and Chloe inside the pack house, making sure to stay out of sight. I waited down the hall while they went into my mate’s room. My b***d boiled at the though. How dare they try and convince Sheryl to accept her new mates. I had to hold back from storming in there and killing them all. If I had my wolf right now, I’m confident he likely would have.

After about an hour, Chloe and Max left the room. I was relieved that Sheryl didn’t go with them. I quickly went to my own room and grabbed my getaway bag that was already packed and ready to go.

I made my way back to Sheryl’s room and hide in one of the spare rooms across the hall. I wanted to make sure she didn’t run off to be with her new mates before I could execute my plan. I would kill her before I let someone else have her. Hopefully she acts like a good girl and remains in that room until nightfall.

I had texted Alpha Alec and got him to drop off a car outside the border. I told him exactly where to hide it so that it wouldn’t be found.

Once it was late enough and I was confident that most of the pack members would be in bed, I decided to act. I pulled out the hunting knife from my pocket and quietly made my way to Sheryl’s room.

I tried the door handle and to my surprise it was unlocked. She never was the smartest and that was working to my advantage tonight.

I slowly opened the door and crept into the room. It was dark but being a wolf I had good night vision. My eyes landed on the bed where I spotted her sleeping form. I quietly made my way over to her and for a minute I paused to admire her face. She certainly was a beauty and all though I never loved her, I still missed having her around.

I held the knife to her stomach, before shaking her arm.

“Wake up sleeping beauty.” I whispered and watched her stir.

Her eyes fluttered open and I saw the confused expression on her face, before realization sunk in and her eyes shot wide open. She was about to scream when I covered her mouth with my free hand.

“If you so much as make a sound or try to mind-link someone, I’ll cut the baby out.” I threatened.

“Nod your head if you understand.” I ordered and she vigorously nodded her head.

“Good girl.” I praised as I slowly removed my hand from her mouth.

She was crying and I could smell the fear rolling off her.

“Now, this is what’s going to happen. You’re going to come with me quietly and if you try anything funny, I’ll kill you.” I explained calmly.

“I want to see you nod.” I growled and she once again nodded her head vigorously.

“Good girl, now get up.” I order and she quickly stood from the bed.

She was only wearing shorts and a tank top that barely covered her body. I’m not going to lie, she still made my c**k hard even with how fat she was getting from the pregnancy.

“Move.” I ordered and nudged her towards the door.

I opened the door and looked down the hall before proceeding forward. Once we reached the stairs, I stopped to listen and made sure that no one was around before we descended.

We made it outside without coming across anyone. Now if we can just make it to the border we’d be free.

“Did you really thing I would let you live happily with your second chance mates? Let them raise my pup?” I whispered next to her ear, before letting out a humourless chuckle.

“I won’t accept him, I swear. Please, just let me go.” She begged in between sobs.

“Shut up, I don’t believe you.” I seethed right next to her ear and could feel her trembling in fear. Good, I thought to myself. I want my fearful, submissive mate back. I hated how those two rogues had manipulated her mind into being stronger.

We finally reached the border and the getaway car was only five minutes away. I could already taste my freedom. Moving to Alpha Alec’s pack wasn’t ideal, but until he killed Knox, it would have to do. Once Knox was out of the picture, I would finally take over the pack and be the Alpha I was born to be.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a twig snap up ahead.

I quickly pulled Sheryl against my body, her back was pressed against my front and I held the knife to her throat. I wasn’t about to let anyone get in the way of my plan. I would kill her if I needed too.
