**Gar POV: **

After Michael left I went back to the command center. I watch as the doctor puts bandages on the woman, even bruised and battered she looks beautiful. For some reason, I am drawn to her. Her scent makes me want to hug her and protect her from harm. What the fuck is wrong with me he is my best friend mate, my future Luna if she doesn’t reject him. But I can't the feeling that I am supposed to protect and love her.

“Family!”, Titus says out of nowhere.

• “Family who?”, I asked confused.

“The girl moron she is family”, he said trying to push forward.

“No she is not family I am the only child and so were my parents”, this dude is not making any sense.

“Are you seriously going to debate this with me human? I am a wolf we can sense our family”, he said as he continued to walk around in circles making me dizzy.

Lost in my thought I didn’t hear the noise coming out of the tent. The woman is walking out of the tent looking around she can’t see me because I am behind a tree. I grab her before she gets too far and she punches me in my face. She is not a regular wolf she has so much power to her. Since she will be my Luna I have to be gentle with her. I mind link Michael informing him she is a wake.

As soon as I touched her she started fighting me. She kicked and punched me where she could. I let her go. She turned around and punched me in the nose. My nose broke and that pissed me off. So much so that I almost forgot she is my Alpha'smate. I tried to talk to her but she was not hearing any of it. I dodged her hits as I tried to talk to her to calm her.

Mike needs to her his ass here as soon as possible. I mind-linked him so he could hurry up. I feel like I might have to knock her out to get her to stop attacking me. And that will piss Mike off. But if she doesn't stop attacking me I might not have any other choice.

**Michael POV: **

When I arrived at the pack hospital I saw two of my men holding Alpha James down, I was surprised they seemed to be struggling to hold him down. The last time I saw James he looked like he was on the verge of dying. Walking into the room James sees me and starts yelling at me which is funny considering he is at my mercy.

“YOU SON OF A BITCH WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO RATI”, he yells. At least I know my mate's name.

“First off calm the fuck down and let's talk like civilized men. As for Rati, she is fine and like I said before she is not yours”, I said holding in my anger.

“WHAT MAKE YOU THINK YOU HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO HER!”, he yells.

“SHE’S MY FUCKING MATE….THAT GIVES ME EVERY RIGHT TO HER!”, I yell in his face fighting the urge to brake his fucking neck.

“HA…HA…she will never love you mate bond or not. You have destroyed the place that has been her home for nine years. She will never love you. Not to mention you soldiers killed the only parent she had left”, he says as he spits at me.

“She will grow to love me once the mate bond grows”, I said not caring about his opinion.

“Bond or not she will never love you she is carrying my pup. Who will be a daily reminder of our love? So you lost before you even started”, he said with a smile.

“YOU ARE A FUCKING LIER IF SHE IS PREGNANT SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE FOUGHT”, I yell as I grab his throat.

“She doesn’t know asshole. I heard the heartbeat last night. I would have told her today but you fucking attacked us. She was supposed to have escaped she must have come back for her mother”, he said out of breath.

“No…no…no, my mate can’t be carrying another man’s pup”, I said out loud not realizing it.

“I will give you whatever you want. Everything I own just don’t hurt her or my pup”, he says with pleading eyes.

"I already have everything you own", I said trying to keep myself together.

“He is right”, Eos said.

“I can't believe that. The Moon Goddess chose her for me to love me and me only. Why would she be carrying another man's pup”, I say feeling lost.

• “She would never love us. Even if she stays with us she will be devoted to her pup and the love she has for that Alpha”, *Eos said with discussion.

“What do you advise I do, reject her? We have been waiting for decades for our mate. Am I supposed to let her go because she is carrying another man’s pup? What if he is lying to me?”, I am getting irritated Eos is acting like he doesn't want our mate.

“There is only one way to find out. Go back  to her and listen for the heartbeat”, he said.

“I am going to confirm what you just said. So help you Goddess if you are lying to me, I will castrate you and keep you as a servant”, I said as I walked out.

What the fuck am I going to do? I not only have to deal with a trial and multiple executions. But also a pregnant mate, who just might

hate me. I hear Gar trying to reach me via the mind link.

“Alpha, she is awake and trying to run”, Gar said.

“Secure her I will be there shortly”, I said running to get to them.

“I’m trying, she broke my fucking noise”, he said.

"How?", I asked shocked.

"She swung and landed on my noise", he said sounding like he was running as well.

"Your ass better not be running from her", I said growling.

"No, I am trying to dodge her hits", he said.

"How is it you my Beta can't handle one woman/", I asked. I might fire him.

"She strong as fuck. Even hurt she can give me a run for my money", he said.
