Chapter 14

*****Axel's POV*****

The pack doctor taped up Dani's injuries whilst scolding us both in the meantime since he could tell that she hadn't properly stayed off her feet yesterday like he had suggested...

A flood of guilt rushed through me as he spoke since it was nobody else's fault but mine and my wolfs...

The rogue that he is.

My wolf knew that I was seething with him after he had taken the blood moon as his chance to take over last night. Any other night I would have been able to control him, but it just had to be the one night that there was fucking blood moon!

All he's done so far is scare our mate, which will only add on more time before I can fully introduce them both in the correct way to each other.

I was just thankful she wasn't still terrified or upset. I knew he meant no real harm but he's a scary bastard as is... especially for a tiny human who has never seen a wolf in her life.

"Axel..." I hear her soft tone as I exit the closet to meet her needs, with the pack doctor now gone.

"Doll?" I question, seeing her tug at the hem of my very baggy t-shirt that she currently resided in.

"Is there anything else... that I can wear today? Maybe some girl clothes instead? I'm grateful for you giving me your stuff and everything... but I just want to look nicer for meeting your parents." She explains warily.

I think for a minute, not knowing what to do. How long would it take to go to a store? Probably too long.

I would definitely need to schedule in taking her shopping at some point to get her new stuff... but what will I do for today?

Nolan!

"Nolan... ask your sister to bring some clothes up to my room." I mind link him, waiting for a response which came fairly quickly.

"Eww... leave my sister out of your weird kinks Axel I mean it! I'm not sending her up to your room for you to pick out her clothes! I knew you were weird but fucking hell man... Alpha or not bro that's not cool..." I growl out at his response, causing Dani to jump at the sound.

"Sorry love... I'm trying to mind-link Nolan and he's being a fucking dumb bastard as usual." I explain quickly, watching as her eyebrows pull together in confusion.

"Nolan shut the fuck up and just do it! I don't like your sister like that you weirdo... the girl you seen in my office yesterday needs to borrow some clothes and I don't know anyone else to ask! Send her up here before I need to come and find you!" I retaliate, remembering not to say to him that Dani is my mate just yet...

If Nolan knows... everybody knows...

"Oh... well on that note... she will be up soon Queeny..." I roll my eyes at the last part, hating the dumb nickname that he had pissed me off with since we were kids.

Fucking Queeny? Don't ask where it came from... Nolan and his tiny brain.

"Apologies doll... I was getting someone to bring you clothes they should be here shortly." I tell her briefly and a small smile stretches across her face.

"So... you can do that too? Talk to people through your head whenever you want?" She questions, a smile itching to spread across my own face now.

I forget how innocent she is to our world.

"It's called a mind-link... wolves in the same pack can send messages back and forth to each other almost like phone calls... but since I'm a Lycan, I can read anyone's mind as long as they aren't too far away. Once I mark you... we will be able to mind-link each other too hopefully." I explain, her eyes widening in what looked to be excitement?

"Really? I can soon do that too?" She gasps, as I laugh and nod at how cute she is.

"You'll be able to do a lot of things once I mark you... if everything goes well..." I admit, knowing that if she isn't strong enough before I mark her then I'm unsure of what the outcome could be.

Any human mated to a wolf is usually fine... but as the strongest Alpha, mating to a petite little human who has been through a lot, it could be a bad ending.

"Anyway, Francis is coming to fix up your hair again and Nolan's sister will bring you clothes to wear today... hopefully you can walk a bit now too - do you want to give it a try?" I question.

She nods frantically as I take that as a cue to move to her side.

"Ok let's just stand you up to begin with..." I say, allowing for her to use my hand for balance.

Her knees wobble slightly and she grits her teeth when her feet meet with the floor for the first time.

She stands for a brief moment steadying herself, before letting go of my hand.

"How is it?" I question, not wanting her to over do it.

"It feels fine, the pain is still there but nowhere near as bad as before... I think I'll be fine walking." She states proudly.

"We can give you a couple of pain killers to help too... if it gets too much at any point then just say." I state firmly, as she nods in agreement.

I watch as she tests out a small step forward, seeming to be content with the results - continuing to walk slowly around the room.

"The right foot is just a little sore and the left isn't bad at all..." She updates after testing it out more.

"That's good. I'm going to head downstairs to make sure everything is set up for them coming and I'll be up to get you once you're ready." I tell her, grabbing my phone from the table in order to phone my Mom to find out how long they will be in getting here.

On cue, Francis arrives with Nolan's sister Belle, who to my amusement, holds bags of clothes in her arms.

She was the best bet to help out with this since she was probably closer in size to Dani than any of the other she-wolves around here.

Belle was what would commonly be called a 'runt' of the pack. Having being Nolan's twin sister, he seemed to be born with all of the strength, whereas Belle was completely opposite in every department.

She was tiny and weaker than an average wolf but funnily enough a lot smarter than Nolan so she most definitely took all of the brains in the womb and Nolan took the muscle.

No harm had ever come to her though with a brother like Nolan... he may not be the smartest but he sure as hell could fight! Hence why he had been destined to lead and train my warriors the second that I had became King.

"Hi Axel." She greets me, not using my formal title since we were more considered family by this point.

As for Francis, she was very old fashioned and refused to call me by my name since she had always worked for our family even when my Mom and Dad had ruled. Ever since I became the new King she would tell me - 'You deserve your title and therefore I am proud and honoured to address you as my Alpha'.

It didn't feel right at first since she practically helped raise me, but it was a kind gesture nonetheless.

"I'll be back soon." I throw Dani a small wink, leaving her cheeks to coat red as I walk off smiling for probably the first day ever.

I actually felt content knowing she was here with me. I no longer felt an urge to cause trouble or to kill people just to feel alive. I actually felt good.
