His Abused Mate

15

I start to see light ahead and push my Cougar faster, I glance back again and see the big wolf panting heavily. I was pushing him a lot, should I let him rest?

One look at the wolf on his back told me no, he was barely holding on. I break through the cover of the trees and are met by warriors, who are circling me with weapons in their hands. Anger takes a hold and I shout at them, pulling my Cougar back from them.

"Pull your damn weapons down now!!

And shock wave ripples on the ground and all the warriors drop their weapons reluctantly but when they saw it was me the look at each confused and I hear chaos around Me.

I jump of my cougar and pat it. I then order my big wolf to emerge and it did, a weary look in its eyes, as if it was not sure but I beckon it towards me.

I motion for a warrior to help me and we gently pick my little wolf up and lay it gently on the ground. It whines slightly but I silence it by gently stroking it.

"What are you guys-! Casey? I close my eyes and open them again to see a concerned looking Troy in front of me.

"Save him" was all I could get out before I collapse in his arms. Energy drained.

I wake up in the pack hospital, strangely feeling refreshed. I get up and get changed, when I walk in about to open my ward door Troy comes in.

"Where is he? I say impatiently

"You need to eat" he says and sets down a tray of food on the counter next to my bed.

I shake my head and repeat, getting more desperate "Where is he"

He stands his ground and I know he wasn't going to take me to him if I didn't eat so I ate half the sandwich in record time and stand up.

"Eat all of your sandwich"

I glare at him with my hands my hips, causing his arms to go in a surrender and he takes to my wolf.

When he see him I go up to where he was laying and start stroking his head "hey buddy, how're you doing hmm?

"He's not doing so good" Troys voice sounds behind.

I freeze and wait for the 'and' but it never came.

I look behind me and try lock eyes with him but he avoids my gaze "and?

He runs a hand through his hair and sighs "He's got a half hour"

I try act dumb and say "for what"

He finally looks at Me, his mouth set in a thin line "I think you know"

I look back at my pup and say as calmly as I could "I understand"

I feel his presence behind me and his hand on my shoulder "You know, you can talk to me"

I nod "I know, I just feel like I've known him all my life, but it was only hours, yet he risked his life for me" I feel a rogue tear slip down my cheek and I brush it away impatiently, there was no time to start crying.

"Can I be alone please?

When troy had gone I turn back to the table and start talking to the pup, telling him about my life and 15 minutes later the machine that was beeping steadily makes a long beeeeeeeeeep noise an I knew he was gone.

I shake my pup and I start shouting, when the pack vet comes in I start screaming at him to help him but all he did was shake his head "I can't help him, he's free"

I turn back to my pup and start crying. I hadn't lied when I said it felt like I'd known him all my life, I felt like he was my favourite pet and now he was gone....
