What does he mean by mate? Does he mean friends? Cause we only met like ten seconds ago.

The Alpha slowly walked over to me. I still couldn't see his face It was hidden very well behind his huge hood. He was very tall though, he would still be towering over me even if I stood up.

When he reached me, he slowly bent down to my height and reached his hand out to touch my cheek. I gasp lightly when I felt sparks erupt from my cheek.

He slowly snaked one of his arms under my legs then the other behind my back and lifted me off the small mattress. I didn't struggle because I knew it would have been useless. Hopefully he takes me to eat some cookies cause after smelling them earlier I'm starting to crave them. In fact, he kind of smells like cookies, maybe he was the one making them?

"A-alpha. She's your mate?" The Beta asked. He sounded scared. What does he mean by mate?

"Yes, she's my mate" The Alpha didn't move his eyes from my face but when he did he immediately saw me holding my leg in pain "What happened to her leg?" He growled out making me whimper slightly. I don't like the Alpha voices, they're scary. He probably just needs to eat some cookies or something.

"She...Well...uh..." The Beta couldn't get his words out.

"Save it. I'll deal with you later" The Alpha growled out again before carrying me out of the dungeon. I didn't exactly know what to do at this moment. I feared this Alpha but being with him gave me a sense of comfort, something I haven't felt since I was very little. I just want to snuggle into him all day.

"I'm going to take you to the pack doctor, so she can check your leg, is that okay with you?" He asked me as we approached a huge house.

I nodded my head shyly. I don't really like doctors, they're scary people.

Once we finally reached the house he immediately carried me up a set of stairs. A few people were in the room we passed, they all watched as he carried me through. He was very careful while walking, trying not to hit my leg against anything which I'm grateful for since my leg hurts like a butt cheek on a stick.

We finally reached a huge door, above the door I think it said infirmary but I'm not sure since I haven't read in so many years.

The Alpha slammed the door open making me flinch slightly in his arms.

"What's wrong Alpha?" The doctor said as she stood up from her chair and walked over to us.

"I think her leg's broken" He said placing me down on one of the beds in the large room "And for some reason she's not healing"

"Sweetie can you move your leg at all" The doctor asked me. I tried to move my leg only resulting in my leg hurting even more than before. I shook my head no and let a few tears slide down my cheek at the pain.

The Alpha got down to my level and slowly wiped away the tears with his soft thumb "Don't cry baby girl, your leg will get better soon" He soothed.

"Is there any pain reliever here for her?" He asked urgently looking over at the Doctor frantically.

"I don't know if they'll be too strong for her, she hasn't healed yet and that could mean she has similar traits to a human. It could either put her in a coma or kill her" The doctor said with a worried expression on her face. I don't want to die.

"Okay, just put the cast on her and I'll take her up to my room to rest" The Alpha said before dragging a chair over next to my bed and grabbing my hand lightly. I pulled my hand out of his grip and held it up to my chest. I still don't trust this guy yet. and he scares me. I couldn't see his face, but I knew that he wasn't happy that i had pulled my hand away.

Soon enough the doctor said she was finished. I looked down to my leg and saw this huge thing covering it. What is on my leg?

"Sweetie, this is a cast, it's going to help your leg heal" The doctor explained to me. She must have seen the confusion on my face.

"I'll take her up to my room to get some rest. I'll show her how to use the crutches tomorrow" The Alpha said standing up. He looked over at me and picked me up again and started heading over to the door "I'll come pick up the crutches tomorrow" He added on before exiting through the door. He turned a few corners as we head through long corridors.

He finally stopped in front of another huge door. He opened the door and carefully carried me through and placed me down on the bed "It's getting late, you should get to bed, I'll sleep on the sofa since you probably don't feel comfortable with me yet" The Alpha spoke. He suddenly disappeared into another room before appearing again with clothes in his hands.

"These are for you, you can go get changed in the bathroom over there" He pointed over at a door in the room. I nodded my head and tried to walk to the bathroom but before I could even get off the bed I was being lifted again by the Alpha and carried over to the bathroom.

"Just come out when you're ready" He said before stepping out of the bathroom closing the door behind him.

It took me a while to get my clothes of then put the clothes that the Alpha gave me on because of the cast thing on my leg but I eventually finished and walked, well, more like hobbled out of the bathroom to find the Alpha getting the couch ready for him to sleep on it. Like always he has his hood on. Why does he always have it on?

I hobbled over to the bed before the Alpha could come over to help me.

"Next time just call me to help you" He said almost angrily making me jump into the bed and hide behind the covers scared that he would hit me for doing something wrong.

"Hey, baby girl, don't be scared I'm not going to hurt you" I peeked my head above the covers and saw him approach the bed slowly. Honestly his hood makes me even more scared, I can't see the expression on his face. For all I know, he could be tricking me.

I squeal and cover my head with the covers again "What's wrong?" He asked. Decided now was maybe the best time to ask for something to write. But how?

An idea popped into my head. I pulled the covers down again and held my hands up and fake squiggle something on my hand. I took him a while to figure out what I meant but when he did he rushed out of the room and soon came back with a notepad and pen.

He passed it over to me then quickly went over to the other side of the room giving me some space.

I slowly started to write, probably spelling everything wrong as I was doing it. I hadn't been taught how to spell in my old pack.

Yoor hud is Skary. Y dont u tak it off?

I passed the notepad over to him then retreated back under the covers.

"I will take it off eventually but not right now. I just want you to know though, I will never hurt you" He said passing the notepad back over to me.

Y not now?

I passed the notepad to him again.

"There is some stuff you don't know about me, and if you knew those things there is a possibility of you rejecting me" He explained. I started at him in confusion. Reject him? What does the mean by that.

Wat dose that meen?

"Rejection?" He asked me. I nodded my head and stared at him "Do you know what mates are?" He asked.

I shook my head no and looked down feeling slightly stupid not knowing anything.

"What's your name? I just realise I don't know it" He suddenly asked changing the subject.

Eclipse

"Eclipse" He repeated "It's beautiful, just like you" I felt my cheeks heat up so I quickly ducked my head making sure to hide my face.

"Princess, it's getting late, let's go to bed now, I'll explain everything to you another day" He added on before walking over to the couch and laid himself down in it "Goodnight" He sighed before turning the lights off.

Tomorrow I'm going to ask him for cookies.
