My body felt like I was just hit by a giant truck, everything hurt, I couldn't believe my ears when Tavian (now without any doubts MY mate) chose me over his pack, my wolf was howling happily.

He hugged me tightly to him, he prayed for me to not die on him so I focused on my breathing, making sure I didn't stop breathing. I looked up to his bruised face, I raised my arms to gently cradle his face, seeing him hurt made me so angry at myself. As his alpha, I should be able to protect him better, I failed him on my first day as his alpha. Great. Just great.

"Are you ok? I promise to protect you from now on, I won't let anyone touch you ever again. Thank you for choosing me, you're MINE, only mine. I'm really sorry, please stop crying." I wiped the tears rolling down his cheeks with my thumbs.

I licked his wounds clean which turned into a really heated make out session and led to us making love all night long. The past few days were surreal, this is our way to comfort each other and try to cope with everything that's been going on.
