Damage
"Wake up."
Kaden's POV
I walked into my home with my mate still slumped in my arms. The others filed in behind me. The beta walked over and I straightened up.
"She's a... Umm what do you want me to do with her?" My Beta Ryan said in an unsure voice. I growled softly.
"Nothing... I've got her... and Ryan?" My beta turned to look at me.
"Next time lock her in the room if you must." I said as the others went back to their rooms as my beta nodded. Before he could question me or start another conversation I was in my room.
I laid my mate softly on the bed and sat back on the couch far from her. Her chest rose and fell with struggling grace and I found my eyes locked on her bruised figure. Her arm was sitting awkwardly. I took in the claw marks and blood... I did that.
I left and changed into some pants and a shirt quickly in the bathroom. I dressed my wounds to let them heal and returned to her. With a soft sigh I sat back on the couch.

I paced outside of the pack hospital room. I'd had to move Amelia there some weeks ago because she wouldn't wake up.
After a moment I barged back in the room causing the doctor examining the monitors to jump. I looked over at my mate hooked up to tubes laying on the bed.
"It's been twenty-seven days, why hasn't she woken?" I growled to the doctor who flinched under my tone.
"You attacked your mate. Her wolf couldn't take it. So they went to sleep, a purposeful coma; they need to heal Kaden." The doctor told me for the millionth time. I snarled and ran a hand through my hair.
"If she'd've just listened..." I growled and heard a scoff beside me.
I glanced over at Ryan and frowned, wondering how long he'd been in here, he growled softly, "There's always someone else to blame, it's never your fault is it Kaden?" He said before leaving the room. I glared after his retreating form and the door shut leaving only I, the doctor, and my mate.
What the hell was his problem? I turned my attention over to the doctor.
"So you don't know when she'll wake up?" I asked the doctor and he shook his head.
"Then get out." I snarled and he scurried out of the room hurriedly. I looked back toward my mate and brought up a chair beside the bed.
Her wounds had healed as had her arm, her bruises gone... but she wouldn't wake up. Did I feel remorse? A little; I think.
Was I pissed off still? Hell yeah.
I slowly took her cool fingers in mine and did my best to hold her unresponsive hand. Deep inside I felt hurt and heard my wolf whine in pain. But I frowned and pushed it away as I looked at her soft breathing.

I sat in the chair doing some paperwork. My mate still hadn't woken and it'd been over a month. My wolf was anxious. I was minutely restless.
Then a noise caught my ear and I glanced up from the task of writing schedules for border patrol; we'd been having some trouble with rouges lately. I looked up to my mate.
As I watched she moaned softly and it was such a noise that a sharp feeling rushed in my body. I jumped up and shook my head as I waited for the feeling to pass and it did.
I unhooked her from the tubes and such and carried her to our room. Doctors and nurses watched as I left and I went directly to the room. She whimpered softly as I laid her down on our bed.
She looked so helpless and pity stabbed at my heart. I frowned and thought about what had happened. It wasn't right that she'd fought me. She should've just submitted. But no, she fought me with such an aggression that it had honestly surprised me.
She moved on the bed and the sheets rustled softly. I watched as her fingers slowly curled around the covers and her breath quickened. Intrigued by this I stared and saw her eyes slowly flutter open.
I didn't know what to do so I just sat back on the couch as she sat groggily up.
Her eyes darted fearfully around the room and locked on me. I blinked at her terrified expression. Looks like defiant Amelia had shrank away.
"Why are you here? Why didn't you just let me go?" She whispered in a soft, hurt voice.
"Because you're not leaving me." I said in a harsh snarl. The young woman whimpered softly and I saw tears flooding to her eyes.
My throat tightened as she began sobbing, "I just want a nice, peaceful life... is that too much to ask? And you... you're my mate, but you just attacked me!" I blinked as she turned her hurt and anger on me.
"You attacked also, or are you just too stupid to remember?" I said sharply raising my eyebrows wonderingly.
The girl glared fiercely and hissed, "If you had just left me alone, it wouldn't have happened!"
Oh this girl had an attitude and even though it angered me, I felt lured by it in a fantastically pleasurable way. But of course it pushed my buttons also.
"You can't blame that on me." I growled.
"It's your fault!" Amelia spat at me.
Quick as a flash I was looming over the girl glaring down at her. She looked up at me with a fiery blaze in her eyes and I smirked cockily.
"You've been asleep for over a month. That was your fault. Not mine." I growled and she gasped and frowned appearing to be thinking.
"A month..." she said softly and I nodded.
Slowly the smirk faded and Amelia said softly, "I hate you."
I blinked as I heard those words and my heart ached for a second. I stared into her eyes and groped for words.
Suddenly I couldn't control myself or my wolf and I grasped the girl's waist. With a growl I pulled her close and pressed her against me. I lowered my head to her neck and my lips brushed her soft skin.
She gasped and her heart started racing. I grunted as she tried to pull away, but I held her fast. I could feel her heart thudding and smell her fear.
My lips parted and I softly nipped her neck making sure not to break her skin. As she let out a shuddering breath I tenderly kissed her neck and felt her tremble against me. I admittedly liked her response and kissed her neck again and got a harder tremble.
I felt her hand grab my bicep and I smirked softly and held her roughly. This brought on a moan from the young woman and I moved to the other side of her neck. I kissed her aggressively my wolf wanting more and felt her grab my shirt. Her hands were shaking violently and for a second I thought to stop, but I couldn't. The lust for this woman was taking over me. I wanted her too much. I wanted to mate her now. To lay her down and ravish her succulent body.
With a grunt I pushed the beauty against the wall and held her up so I could comfortably kiss her collarbone. I was aware that her fingers were in my hair tousling it with her nails clawing my scalp. She had no idea what it was doing to me. She was whimpering and whining, pushing against me.
I grunted and found this act alone wasn't satisfying my hunger for this young thing. I needed more of her. I lowered her to the ground though she was still against the wall. I let my hands rub her back and the noise she made peeked my animalistic interest.
Mate her! Mate her! Fuck her! Lay her down! Make love! Sex! Do something! My wolf barked.
I threw her on the bed and thrust myself on top of her. She whined as I kissed the fabric of her shirt over her stomach. Still kissing her I moved up to where my lips were back on her neck. All the while doing my best to block out my wolf's horny howls.
The girl gasped and grasped my shoulders. Her eyes were squeezed tightly and I looked at her mouth. Goddess I wanted to kiss her. Her lovely lips were parted and I leaned down and kissed her neck passionately avoiding her lips.
My hands clasped hers and she slowly stopped squirming around. I groaned as she whimpered. I moved away from her neck and licked my lips at the smell of lust seeping from her. Our chests moved against the others. I felt her move a bit away and I kissed the corner of her mouth softly.
"Stop it..." I heard her breathe between gasps. I paused but sneaked another kiss which caused her to squirm. I pressed my hips against hers and groaned into her neck.
She suddenly jerked her head away and cried, "Stop it."
I growled. By the was she was acting you'd think I was raping her.
I growled again and in a flash I was slumped on the couch again away from her. I watched as she sat up on the bed and pushed her hair back with shaking hands. I looked at her and scowled.
Why did I get such a dramatic mate?
"What the hell?... Don't ever do that again." My mate's voice shook with indignation and other mixed emotions.
I huffed and sneered at her, "I only kissed you. Stop overreacting." I spat and she flinched.
"You're so cruel." I frowned at her words then chuckled.
"Whatever mate next time just don't do anything stupid and I won't hurt you." I said and she shook her head.
"You shouldn't hurt me either way." She whispered and I blinked at her.
I stood and marched over to the bed annoyance rushing through me. I grabbed her arm and pulled her to me. I leaned close so that my face was close to hers and growled, "I'm your mate; meaning I can do whatever the hell I feel like." I let her go and pushed her down on the bed.
She was quiet and she bowed her head then covered her face in her hands. I wasn't sure what she was doing and I was confused until I saw her shoulders tremble and heard the soft sobs. She was crying. I snorted and crossed my arms.
After a while I got bored of watching her cry so I stood and went for the door. I wanted to go on a walk.
"... men, they're all the same..." I heard her breathe as I walked away and something spiked in me. I doubt seriously she meant for me to hear it, but alas I caught those five words. My brow creased and I felt anger clench my sanity.
So she'd had other men? Well my dear Amelia, such things can not go unpunished. I growled softly. The thought of her having other men with her irked me. I glanced at my mate before leaving the room.
Two could play at that game.
