Beta Mates

Chapter Battle wounds



Kara shifted into her human form and turned to the warrior to inquire if he is injured when she felt an arm grab her from behind a tree. She whirled around and punched a fist into the face of the stranger and swiped a roundhouse kick to disable the threat. For some reason she hesitated before doing anymore damage which was to Adams benefit because he was the owner of the unknown arm that grabbed her. He stood before her with a rapidly swelling and blackening eye and a split lip. He was also holding his ribs which she hoped she had just bruised and not broken.

She walked over to check on her mate and he looked at her warily, afraid he would be attacked again. "Sorry, I didn’t scent you with the rouges around until it was too late" she apologized. She gently checked his eye and his lip. “How was your lip injured? I didn’t hit you there.” Adam told her he ran into a rogue on the way to help them. She started lifting his shirt and he looked at her strangely, she told him she wanted to make sure that she didn’t break any ribs. She gently ran her fingertips over his corded abdomen and he sucked in his breath. She didn’t know if it was pain or pleasure that made him do it. His ribs were going to be bruised and sore but she was glad to note she didn’t break them.

Her wolf would give her holy hell for days at hurting her mate. At least the injuries were fairly minor and with the healing powers of the wolves he would be fine by morning.

Adam didn’t say much during the exchange but she could tell he was feeling some pain from the ribs. She walked over and checked with the pack warrior that was guarding her. He had only minor scratches. Adam walked over to her and asked her if she had any injuries but she had nothing more serious than a few scratches. Her brother and the Alpha just ran up in wolf form to join the fight but the rouges were taken care of and if there were any more they ran away. The Alpha sent four warriors to scout the area and make sure that there were no more in the area and both he and Kane shifted into human form.

Kane looked at Adam and burst out laughing. “I told you to leave her alone, looks like you got your ass kicked”! Adam looked at him surprised, “how do you know Kara did this?” “Who do you think gets to be her sparring partner” Kane laughed. “Believe me I have had my share of injuries thanks to my lovely sister. She is a powerhouse!” “Well”, said the Alpha “it looks like we missed out on the fun so why don’t we go back to the pack house and clean up and get something to eat.”
