Chapter 121
Steven's POV

After I dragged Anastasia in the kitchen, she looked at me confused.

"I thought she wasn't your mate?" She whispered.

"She isn't. People are thinking she is and I want them thinking that." I whispered back and looked around to see if anyone was listening.

"Steven. You can't lie about that even Tay's having troubles believing that. Or she's just confused, but still!"

I sighed, "look I know, but I want people knowing that she's mine."

"You know better than to lie to people like that" She said sternly,

crossing her arms.

"Look. I'll tell the truth when I can, but I wanna wait longer for that.!" She gave a sigh and looked at me. I began pouting like a puppy that made her roll her eyes and nod her head

"Fine. But you owe me."

I smiled and hugged her, "definitely. Thank you.!"

"You're welcome." She hugged me back and pulled away, "but what

happened to you out there? You just went savage."

I sighed, "he said something I didn't like. It's not important, well not to you."

"What did he say"

I waited for a short while before answering her question. "He told me that he's gonna try having his way with Tay and maybe hurt her in the process. It was to pressure me into fighting him even more. It worked, but I don't know if he meant it. That's why I didn't take any chances." I explained and grabbed her by the arm. "Lets just go outside. Before people starts getting curious."

She just nodded as the both of us walked straight through the door.

When we got out of the kitchen, I saw Noah apologizing for his mistakes. But my eyes saw Tay in Alpha Kristoffer's arms. I gave a growl that caught his attention, I noticed him puling her closer, but she seemed to be in pain for him to pull her any closer.

"What the hell does he think he's doing with her?" My wolf began to ask bitterly.

"You will be punished after I put Tay to rest. You have caused Steven to react to whatever you told him to make a fight. You have disobeyed both Alpha's orders and that's something I can't allow without a The Hunters Mate An impulsive eighteen year old

huntress with a vivacious attitude punishment." He was angry and he shows it. But who said he was gonna put my girlfriend to rest?

Noah knew what he's gotten himself into, it was necessary. I disobeyed, but it was for the right reasons. Even Eric knew my actions are based on something offensive or something bad in general. He knows I never start something unless someone has crossed.

"No no it's fine." She said and she was moving a bit. Alpha Kristoffer set her down, but still held onto her waist, I began to narrow my eyes at them and felt myself feeling jealous.

"No violence, no punishments or anything. I don't expect Noah to get use to the fact that werewolves are working with a hunter or being a family with one. It'll just take some adjustments, but no punishments are to be made."

"l don't understand.? I hurt you and your so-called mate. Why give me mercy?" He asked. Hearing him call me her mate just gave some hints and hopefully that guy understands

I noticed Tay was swaying a little bit. She held onto the Alpha's shoulder which made him hold her even more. I took a step forward, but tried my best to calm myself before I cause a fight. He whispered something onto her, but she just stayed in her position. It's hard to see what's happening because her back was facing me

"Punishing violence with violence is beneath me."

After she said her last words, she began to collapse. Alpha Kristoffer caught her while I ran to go beside her.

"Someone call the pack doctor! NOW!" I demanded as Eric began to

panic. He carried Tay into his room quickly. Alpha Kristoffer and I followed behind him as I saw Anastasia and Janine tried calling the pack doctor.

Alex, James, and Derek got some supplies while Noah and Mason stayed downstairs with the rest to prevent them from going up. As we got to Eric's room, James and Derek laid down a bowl and a glass of water and some cloth. Eric laid Tay onto his king sized bed and tried to feel her pulse and checked her breathing.

"She's still breathing and her pulse is still good" He whispered and took some newspaper he has to fan her.

Janine came running up, "honey the doctor is on his way. He'll be here in 2 minutes."

He nodded and stayed beside her. I sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand. "She must've stressed herself out with the whole fight." He muttered clearly as I sighed.

"Why would she do that?" l asked and both Alpha Eric and Alpha

Kristoffer looked at me.

"To save you." Alpha Kristoffer said as my attention went to him.

His expression wasn't too happy considering Tay was in bed

unconscious and almost getting herself killed. I frowned a bit and saw Anastasia come in with the doctor.

"Doc! It's great to see you, please tell us if she's doing good?" I said pulling him to Tay.

He raised his hands up In surrender and checked up on her. I went

beside Alpha Kristoffer, feeling uncomfortable. Being next time he felt weird, I'm not sure why, but I just sense something doesn't seem so right. Thankfully the doctor didn't take awhile to check on Tay's health.

"She's fine. Her side looks bruised and her health is okay, not great, but it's okay. All she needs right now is to rest more. Don't stress her too much alright? It'd be bad with her condition." He finally said.

"Condition? I thought you said she was 'okay, not great, but okay'?" Alpha Kristoffer questioned.

The doctor sighed as we all looked at him curiously, "her heart

condition is a bit slow. It's beating, but barely. It's not healthy for her heart rate to be very slow and the way her heart is beating is irregular. I seems that whenever she's into too much stress causes her to be unconscious. Some of the other causes to this isn't just the stress, but mainly the lack of sO!"

"I see. Well here's something to help with her eating habits." He picked up some prescription bottle out of his bag and gave it to Eric,

"she has to drink that before she eats anything. She has to take that once a day and it will help her digestive system to function more when it comes to eating. But the sleeping, see how she is whenever she's about to sleep and tell me okay? Other than that, she'll be good."

Eric took the bottle full of pills and looked at it before nodding. "Alright That is all, put some ice on her side, it'll be bruising and it will hurt her for a couple days."

"Thank you so much Dr. Francis." We all said at the same time.

He chuckled and nodded as he excused himself from us. He went

downstairs and all there was left was the four us. It was just silent and we worriedly stared at Tay, hoping she'd be okay.

"You all should rest. Tell the others about it too. Babe please stay with Anastasia for tonight if she's fine with it?" Eric asked and Sophia nodded.

"Sure, but why can't I stay with you.?" She pouted.

"I'll have to stay up and watch over Tay till she gets better okay?"

"l can watch over her?" I said, but Alpha Kristaoffer said it too. Our voices collided and we looked at each other.

He looked away as I kept studying him,

"uhh no it's fine. You two have been through enough in one day. But thank you for your um concerns?"

I nodded my head slowly, "go on and rest Steven. You can take care of her tomorrow night."

I smiled and nodded as all of us went outside to leave them in peace. We all went downstairs and Anastasia told there rest about resting. They all nodded and went upstairs quietly with Anastasia and Janine running together into their room. Now we were in the living room, just the two of us. I sat on the couch and grunted from my sore body, but the wound had healed.

Alpha Kristoffer cleared his throat as he kept his posture straight, "so Tay's your mate huh?"

I glanced at him and nodded, "yes, why?"

He shrugged, "she just seemed confused about it. Have you told her?"

"No. Not really, but l just asked her to be my girlfriend today."

He sat next to me and saw his jaw tense a bit. I watched him carefully and felt my curiosity peek through.

"Why does he care?"

Kristoffer's POV

"That lying bastard. SHE'S NOT YOUR MATE! SHE'S OUR MATE!' My wolf

yelled. He can't hear you. Stop that". l argued and kept myself calm. Sitting next to him makes me want to strangle the life out of him. Him lying is bad enough with him trying to take my mate away. I just hope he doesn't go further on lying to her about them being mates. Maybe even do something like claiming her when she isn't his.

"Why'd you ask?" He asked interrupting my thoughts.

"Curious. Are you planning to mark her?" Hearing myself say that made me feel sick. I don't even know why I asked.

"Yeah. When the time is right and when she's comfortable with trying anything."I looked at him and crossed my arms.

"What?"

"If you haven't heard, she has never been in a relationship, had any friends, and do"

"Yeah. When the time is right and when she's comfortable with trying anything." I looked at him and crossed my arms.

"What"

"if you haven't heard, she has never been in a relationship, had any friends, and done some things with other people. She's still new to the whole thing and I'm guessing she's still innocent"

"Really?" I asked and he nodded, "are you new to anything?"

He shook his head hesitantly, "hm not really. I've had some experience."

"And she knows that too?"

"Not yet either.. But I'll tell her privately." He gave a little smirk and I just glared at him,

"Why are you smirking like that for?"

"Nothing, Just never thought I'd ever get to be with he."

'Sure that's what you're trying to say.' Sam budged in again.

"Ah-huh." I replied nodding at him slowly, not trusting him one bit.

"Lying, arrogant bastard"

I cleared my throat, "well l'm off. Night.!"

I walked off before he could say anything else. I swear having to have an inner wolf can sometimes drive you nuts. I don't have a conscious or an inner voice. Well I do, but it's not the same as what humans have. All I've got is my wolf, Sam. He's my inner voice for everything. You hear me talking, but when I'm silent there's a different conversation going on.

I'm responding, so is he, but he's more judgmental. I sound like a nut job...

I got to my room, taking off my shoes, belt, pants and t-shirt, leaving me only with my boxers on and laid straight down onto my bed. I kept thinking about Tay.. Her almost dying, falling unconscious, and now with that Steven guy, I don't trust him with her. I only see him as bad news.. He's lying to her so much. Even to his own pack.. but the question still stands.
