Chapter 7
Keith's POV
Poor girl.
I was on the way home, the snow was too big and my car broke down. There was only an abandoned hotel in an unpopulated suburb.
Me and my Beta, Sonny, came here to escape the wind and snow. But I had a different feeling, and my wolf smelled blood.
This was actually not accurate. That was a complex taste, and one of those should belong to my mate.
When I felt she was in the basement and danger, I could no longer control my wolf.
Her whole body was shaking, her tiny frame covered in cuts and bruises. The scent was so intense, my heart began to race rapidly inside my chest.
My eyes captured her dark light grey eyes.
Mate. This was true.
My wolf inside me spoke as my lips parted briefly in complete and utter shock.
Holy fuck.
She already has a baby, and that child is very cute.
From her eyes, I can see that she can't suffer only from this. Sorry, I was so curious, I could easily see her past.
She fell in love with that man, she was another Alpha King. She had his child, but he refused to mark her. And he likes to drink and get drunk. On the day I met her, he beat her, and he even wanted to beat their child.
What made me even angrier is that he fooled around with other women!
What a bastard!
I saw the bloodless wounds on her forehead and the bruises all over her face, and I felt the anger in my heart burning.
I even want to kill this demon!
Luna goodness brought my mate to my side, I am destined to fall in love with her and will do my best to protect her. For me, I will also protect her children. She loves that child so much.
I took her home, and I knew that the child was only given a little sleeping pill, and it didn't hurt the child much. But I still thought that the child asked a doctor as an excuse to take them back to my home.
Because I know, she is a girl with strong self-esteem, she will not go home with others casually and live in other people's homes for nothing.
I also want the doctor to help her treat the wound. In fact, I wanted to check it for her myself, but I was afraid I would scare her.
I want to kiss her bruised little face. I hope she gets better soon.
But I found out that my beta, Sonny, was very wary of her. I know that he is for my safety.
Moreover, people in my group will likely object to me keeping this girl and her child with me, and she invaded my territory without authorization, which is not allowed in principle.
So I deliberately put on a cold face and said that I would punish her.
I saw her eyes widen because of her surprise, that look was so cute.
"I want to punish you. You can work in my house, and I will pay you." I said that everyone in the room was stunned, including Sonny.
There was a tumult in the office, and I patted the table, and at the same time, I noticed Nancy's expression. She looked at the people around with trepidation, not knowing what to say.
"Does anyone have an opinion?" I slapped the table hard and made a cold face.
Suddenly there was no sound. Sonny's expression told me that he didn't understand it. He seemed to be asking me, why should I stay with a stranger?
"That's it for today! The meeting is over!"
I walked to her and she smiled and said, "Thank you for staying with us, because I need a room."
I asked Sonny to take her and the child to another room.
It was late at night, and she and the child must be tired too.
And I should also think about how I should tell her, my other mate.
