Travis

The moment I’d woken up in this hospital, I’d known she was here, my mate Her smell alone had helped my wolf to heal Every time the door opened. I’d hoped that it would be her, coming to find me, but it wasn’t. I couldn’t understand why her scent was so strong, but she never came to me.

That is until she’d walked out of a hospital room herself. When she’d clapped her hands at Luna Yara, I’d wondered about it. but then she hadn’t spoken out loud and I figured she was mute. Doesn’t matter to me. Once she has my mark, we’ll be able to talk in the mind link. If she wants my mark, that is

I know we’re in chaos, but she barely even glanced at me when she came out. Maybe she thinks I’m like my old Alpha. I can have Noelle and Laney assure her that I’m not, if we ever get the chance.

I’m not sure that the chance that I get is the one I was hoping for, but when Luna Yara is taken and Noelle has to try and save the warrior who was protecting her, I get the opportunity I wanted to speak with my mate.

Of course, I’d been staring at her, my wolf, Ronyn, enamored with her beauty and her scent.

“Hi, I’m Travis,” I say, walking up to where she’s looking over a warrior. She glances up and smiles briefly before returning to

her work

“You’re Piper, right?” I ask, knowing she can’t speak.

She nods, not looking up. I begin helping her look over the injured as some of the warriors who were guarding the hospital are brought in. They were attacked and are unconscious, but they are alive. I prioritize them to be stitched up over some of the others with more shallow or already healing injuries.

“This one,” I say, pointing out a warrior more injured than the others. She comes over, looks at his injuries and nods.

“You know what you are to me, right?” I ask quietly.

She looks at me, no smile this time. It’s a moment before she nods.

“I’m not like my previous Alpha. I’m different. Noelle has already vouched for me to your Alpha and Luna, and she’s your Beta female, or will be if your Beta ever has a chance to mark her, I say.

She doesn’t say anything, of course, so we continue working, triaging the injured.

“I mean, I’d really like for you to give me a chance. Get to know me. I never thought I’d find my fated mate, and here you are. I guess I got lucky to be captured by your pack so I could meet you,” I say, wishing that I could figure out what she’s thinking.

“Travis, Beta Noelle wants to know if there is anyone more critical than the warrior who was bleeding out, Anna says. walking out and pulling off bloody gloves.

I look around, making sure I haven’t missed anyone, then look Piper. “You haven’t seen anyone else that critical, right?”

She shakes her head, no, and I look back at Anna. I see her eyes are unfocused and when they refocus, her eyes are sharp on me. I guess Piper told her that I’m her mate.
