His Mate, His Girlfriend

Chapter Fight

My heart sped up quickly as I realized it was Ellis' lycan that barreled into Maleck. I felt relief throughout myself. He found me. His eyes roamed over me. I saw anger in his gaze—anger I'd never seen before. He was scary and bigger than ever. His aura dominates the place. I could read his emotions as he wasn't guarding them. He was furious, hurt, and scared—scared of losing me. What could have happened had he come a minute late?

He snapped his gaze at Maleck. He shifted too, though. Maleck's lycan was leaner and shorter than Ellis's.

My mate's growl showed he was ready to murder. It sent chills down my bones.

The other rogue wolves surrounding us didn't know what to do. They watched with fear as Ellis growled and snarled at their alpha. Maleck let out a vicious growl.

Ellis attacked his cousin furiously. He was biting him down. Even though Maleck was doing his best to fight his cousin, the difference in strength was apparent. The fight was outstanding. It was fast and enraging. Ellis clawed at his cousin, and he did the same. Maleck managed to bite Ellis but was quickly shoved into a tree. He pounced on him, ready to finish Maleck, but my mate froze. His gaze flickered at me. I realized Maleck's mind was linked to him. Alpha blood in the same family could mind-link each other even if they didn't belong in the same pack. Whatever Maleck said made Ellis retreat from him slowly.

The rogues surrounding me suddenly got interested in me. Oh, no. I couldn't defend myself.

Ellis scrutinized every one of them. Despite being in his lycan form, I could tell Maleck considered this a win. Ellis was helpless. He threatened to have me killed if he fought back.

" Watch out!" I let out a yelp when Maleck suddenly attacked Ellis. However, Ellis didn't fight back despite the relentless attack from his enemy. Maleck's lycan was snipping at him. Tears poured from my eyes.

" Ellis, do something!" I cried, but he let Maleck have his way. I tried to move and get to my feet, but the pain in my ankles sent me back to the ground. Ellis' fur was covered in blood. I could see through it.

" Ellis, please, please, fight back," I begged.

My mate didn't care if he would die. He would at this point. They rolled over, and he pinned him down to the ground. He was ready to bite into his neck, but suddenly, Ellis shrugged him off. I let out a sob of relief.

One of the rogues from my left side charged towards me. I accepted fate. At least I saw my mate one last time. My regret was not seeing my little monsters.

I could only hope I would be in heaven to be reunited with them. However, a flash of sandy fur intercepted the attack before reaching me. The rogue was on the ground. I was pinned to the ground by the beautiful sandy lycan.

Crack. The new lycan wasted no time breaking its neck.

Ellis came with his team! He must have left them before, as he panicked about reaching me.

' Zey,' Vee breathed in her weak state.

One by one, more lycans of our lycans appeared from the forest. They were fighting the Maleck's rogues. With the surrounding fight, I dragged myself to the nearest tree to avoid getting crashed. I leaned my back against a large tree. My eyes were opening and closing. The growls and groans around me were distant.

Ellis' pov

I was angry. I'd never felt like this before in my life. After I received confirmation of my mate's location, I left everyone and ran towards Maleck's pack. It wasn't a large pack. Their territory was small and didn't have many homes. I went to the packhouse. My mate was lying on the ground, with many wolves surrounding her. It was clear she was weak. I let out a growl and tackled Maleck, stapling him to the ground. My gaze snapped back to Love. My stomach sank when I took in her appearance. She was in a fight. She was tortured, covered in blood. She had injuries all over her body. Her one eye was swollen and almost closing. I wanted to go to her, kneel in front of her, and beg for forgiveness for not protecting her.

Lias and I wanted blood. I wanted the blood of Maleck. He shifted into his shape and lunged at me. I threw him against the ground with a thud. Maleck. He could hold himself well in a fight but not against me. I was angry and fighting to kill.

I was about to go in for the kill when he mindlinked me.

' If you kill me, you see all those rogues, cousin? They have orders from me to kill your precious insufferable mate!' he chuckled. I froze. My gaze assesses the rogues. Two of the largest had their eyes set on my Love. She was in no condition to defend herself. I took a step back. I doubled in pain when he clawed me across the stomach. Maleck attacked me endlessly with his teeth and claws.

I took every hit gladly. I couldn't fight back and risk my mate's life.

Love screamed in pain for me to fight him. Her sporadic voice broke my heart. I felt a hollow space in my chest as her pleas and cries continued.

' Eli, you idiot. I hope you've killed that bastard,' I heard my sister's voice in my mind. She was close. They were close.

' Oh, I want. I'm hungry to do that- however, if - I fight back. He will kill her,'

I was having a hard time speaking.

' Shit!' she hissed. Maleck pinned me to the ground. I saw satisfaction in his eyes as he wanted to end my life.

' I have eyes on Love. I can reach her before the closest rogue to her does. So, kill that fucking bastard!'

' Reach her first,'

' Trust me, I will get to Love,'

' Trust me, I will get to Love,'

' I trust you,' I shrugged Maleck off. He wasn't expecting it. I embedded my claws in his flesh, and a loud howl escaped. He knew his end was near. Before I could deliver a final blow, I glanced at Love. She was safe. My sister and Luis were fighting off the rogues trying to attack her. I bit down on Maleck's neck and ripped his heart from his chest.

He was dead. I had killed him. I changed back to my human form and rushed to my mate. Todd and Lila were already by her side. They were crying. I knelt and removed the hair covering her face. She was breathing, but barely. Her body was exhausted from what she'd been through. I cradled her fragile body in my arms. I couldn't help but kiss her. They tortured her. Lias let out a whimper as I nuzzled my nose against her neck. A warm tear escaped my eye.

" Alpha - we should take her to the hospital. She's lost too much blood, and those cuts on her belly and arms are too deep. They need professional care," Todd explained.

" I'll ask someone where the clinic is," Lila sniffed.

I carried my mate in my arms, hugging and kissing her. The surrounding fights were almost dying, and I noticed some wolves from the pack were watching with fear.

Jace and Michael shifted. They wore shorts and came to me.

" She doesn't look well," Michael whispered. Jace kissed her forehead and stroked her hair. I saw his gaze fill with sadness.

" I'll talk to the people," he said. I only nodded. Lilac and Todd were back.

" There is a clinic not far, just down the road," Lilac said.

I rushed towards the small clinic. I contemplated letting someone attend to my mate, but I strongly desired to run with her to the city to get proper care. However, she needed treatment.

The nurses in the hallway went hiding once they saw us.

" Call a doctor," I commanded to no one in particular.

A tall, thin woman walked out, wearing a lab coat and small round glasses that didn't suit her face.

She gasped when she saw Love and then bowed to me. The doctor pointed to one of the male nurses. He brought a stretcher and was ready to take her from my hands, but I growled at him. He backed away so fast.

" No, show me the room. I'll stay with her."

" Alpha, she is safe. She will need stitches and proper care. I advise you to hand her over to us."

I wasn't going to leave my mate with them.

" I'm staying in the room as you treat her." My decision was final. The doctor exhaled.

" We'll need to take off her clothes to stitch her. Also, my two nurses will help me. Will you be able to tame yourself?" she asked me questionably. I was already on edge. I didn't want anything that would endanger my mate's life.

" Ellis, they need to work on her without fear. You'll growl at them every two seconds if they touch her," Lilac reasoned. She was right.

" I'll contain myself and my lycan," I said. The doctor nodded and asked me to follow her to a room.

I laid my mate on the bed. The doctor cut off her top with a pair of scissors, and what I saw made me growl. Under that torn shirt she wore were deeper cuts.

They injected her with anesthetics and then started cleaning up her injuries. Even unconscious, she still winced from pain. I didn't move from my position against the window for over an hour.

After all was done, Love looked slightly better. When the medical practitioners left the room, I sat in the chair beside her and held her delicate hand.

" I'm sorry you went through this. It was my fault," I whispered.
