Alpha Code
Chapter Six

[Ra’ne’s POV]

I knew I looked ridiculous as I openly stared at the man that had saved me from Ironclaw. He claimed to be my Mate and Skie agreed with him on that but I was too damned shocked to fully grasp what just happened, he had accepted me. Just like that. Well us cause of Skie, but he was an Alpha. I could smell it in his scent. It was all over him and it should terrify me at how much raw power I could feel coming from him. However, I couldn’t help but be drawn to him. It was like an invisible force was pulling us together and there wasn’t really anything we could do about it. I actually wanted this bond. I had always dreamt of having a Mate to love me.

“Why?” I questioned softly, feeling a little bit like Skie in that moment. Bold.

“Why what, my ember?” he asked as he stood and went to get something on the other side of the room. I watched his every movement and it mesmerized me that much more. The way he moved was so ... powerful.

“Why didn’t you reject me? You’re an Alpha and I’m a lowly Omega. How are you not ashamed?” I asked in one breath. I guess I found my voice. Skie giggled in the back of my mind and I rolled my eyes at him.

Kin stopped what he was doing to turn and look at me, “Ra’ne there is nothing lowly about you. To me you are the most beautiful Wolf out there. I see you and I see my entire future and life. I don’t see an Omega; I see my beautiful Mate.” He said his voice very serious as he came back over to me to gently take me into his strong embrace.

I had to admit, feeling his strong arms around me was very comforting and it made me feel so loved and protected. Kin was giving me something I never had before. Love. I was scared but I wanted this more than anything.

I started to tear up, “Please don’t hurt me,” I whimpered again into his chest, nuzzling into the warmth there. He was so welcoming and warm that I was praying to the Moon Goddess that this was real and I wasn’t dead or dreaming.

[Kin’s POV]

I held Ra'ne close to my heart as he let out his soft little whimpers. My poor little Mate had been beaten down so far that he had no idea how to handle positive attention. He had no idea what to do with the love I had to give to him but I was going to show him so much. I had him laying back on my bed, because holding him was too painful for his little body right now and I could see it in his eyes. I knew he was trying to hide it but Julius and I were on high alert for any discomfort from him. He was too fragile for us not to be.

His soft spoken “Please don’t hurt me.” Had not fallen on deaf ears. And I was going to make sure he understood that he had nothing to fear anymore. I sat back down after making sure he was comfortable, sadness in my gaze as I took his hand in mine.

“Ra’ne, you have lived in hell your entire life, that is a fact I cannot deny or take away. However, I can tell you with absolute certainty that for the rest of your days you will have love and protection. I will never harm you Ra’ne, you mean far too much to me to allow you to be hurt let alone hurt you myself.” I said wanting to pull him close to me, but knowing he needed to hear my words. He also really needed to heal but I feared it would take more than what Arion could do.

He looked up at me, a shocked look on his face. He was struggling to see my truth, because he had never had love or kindness in his life before, he could see it in my eyes, hear it in my voice, he could see that I would never let him be hurt if possible and that I would never hurt him on purpose. That I would do all I could to keep him safe from any harm.

His hand reached out slowly for me, (I had let him go completely) he pulled back a few times, unsure of what to really do but I could see Skie take over a few times. The yellow gaze of the Wolf coming through as they reached for me, and Julius. They were fighting for control and it could harm them if they continued this way.

I let Julius come forth, because he was the one was going to be the one to control Skie most of the time, “Skie, let him decide on what he wants to do.” Julius said seriously, the Alpha timbre absolute. Julius’ voice was soft and filled with love for his Mate but it was also commanding and absolute and Skie actually whimpered but let Ra’ne make up his own mind.

When that happened Ra’ne looked up to me with a look of relief “Thank you Julius, h-he c-can b-be s-s-so m-mean t-to m-me s-sometimes.” Ra’ne said softly but his smile was bright for us both.

“Anything for you pup.” Julius said before fading back into my mind allowing me to talk again. “Now do you understand the depth of what we will do for you?” I asked him softly. Allowing him to see the difference between my Wolf and I.

Ra’ne looked at me and put his hand on my face without any further hesitation. I could still see a little fear in his ember eyes but I could also see the beginnings of trust too. He was accepting us slowly and it warmed my heart.

“I do see what you will do for me Kin and I’m happy. I’m just not sure how to be a good Mate for you.” He said softy. His own sadness in his eyes. I could see his disappointment in himself but it only made me want to hold him that much more.

“Be yourself. We will get through everything else together.” I said closing my eyes and leaning into his hand. I loved the feeling he was sending through my body at the gentle contact. The gentle pulses of electricity that woke my sleeping soul were intoxicating.

“I’d really like that.” He whispered, his hand falling away from my face to land on the bed.

My eyes flashed open, to look at him. I quickly checked him making sure he was all right only to replace that he and Skie had passed out. They had been hiding the pain from their wounds.

Julius growled in frustration, ‘They need to stop that shit quickly. I will not tolerate it.’ He said angrily. His Alpha showing in force, getting me to roll my eyes.

‘Calm down stupid. They don’t understand that they are allowed to take it easy. They are still on Ironclaw mentality. It will take them some time to adjust.’ I said making Julius huff in agitation.

I was already thinking they had been pushing past the pain because I could feel a dull ache in the back of my mind but I didn’t think anything of it. Now I was going to pay closer attention to things like that. This Mate thing was going to prove to be more than a notion because Ra’ne was going to work on Julius’ last nerve I could see it already.

I linked with Arion one of the Pack's doctors, and a very close friend to me, asking him to come to my rooms. I told him to be quiet about the whole thing. I did not need everyone knowing about Ra’ne right now. It was bad enough my patrol Wolves knew. They had already been sworn to secrecy but Callum still had a big ass mouth. I was watching Ra’ne sleep fitfully when the Pack Doctor knocked quietly on my bedroom door.

I went to let him in and quickly filled him in. Knowing what he needed to do Arion put a sleeping spell on Ra’ne and Skie so that he could work in peace. I of course stood right there watching everything Arion did to my Mate. I trusted him, yes, but Ra'ne meant more than my own life to me. I needed to know everything that happened to him.

After a good 3 hours, Arion wiped his brow and stood up. He turned to look at me a sadness in his eyes that had me very worried. What did he replace to make him look so damn sad?

“Alpha, he will need rest. The poor thing was near death. His body is malnourished and he had several broken bones that I healed. He will need to eat very frequently but things that are light like bread or fruits. At least until his body is used to food again. I will make a medication for him to take every day, it will help him gain his needed weight.” Arion reported softly.

I wanted to go back and destroy Ironclaw for this but I couldn’t do a damn thing about any of it. That was the most aggravating part about this entire ordeal. I couldn’t avenge my own Mate. As I looked at Arion however, I felt like he had more to tell me and he was holding back because of what he had to say was more than horrible. I could see the light sheen of sweat on his forehead and his fingers were twitching. A clear sign of his nerves.

“Arion, is there more?” I asked softly, trying not to be angry about anything. I was pissed but not at my friend.

Arion looked down in shame, “I’m sorry to say this but yes, there is. The young one was raped. I fixed his entire channel however, that is why it took me so long. I found something very interesting in my healing.” He said softly. His eyes flashing over to Ra'ne's sleeping form.

I looked at him curiously. “And what would that be?” I asked

“Three things actually. One, he can carry pups but has not conceived any at all despite being raped, frequently. It's like his reproductive organs have frozen but have not been damaged in any way. Two, and this one is more common in Omegas from abusive Rouge Packs, he has never shifted into his Wolf form. The evidence is shown around the joints where there is more calcium deposits from lack of free movement. Three, this is what had shocked me the most, his channel was healed to virgin status. It was like it was never touched in a sexual way at all. I have never seen anything like it. Most injuries usually always have some type of scaring even for us Wolves, but not him.” He said with a slight wince and a deep sadness in his voice as he continued without my prodding. “The same can be about his entire body really. The moment I began to heal the rest of his body I came across the same thing. All of his wounds healed the same way, as if they were never there. However, he has scars all over his body that do not fade. Ones that seem to have become part of his actual skin's form. I have no explanation for them, only an educated guess. I will assume that he was never seen by any other Doctor before because he is an Omega, if he had been treated his body would have healed. I have Healed his wrists as well, but I warn you that they will be awkward for him to use for a little while. They had been fully dislocated for much longer that a few hours. A small amount of calcium and fluid had built up around the joints that I had to clear out before setting them back in proper place.” Arion explained to me, his voice filled with sadness and a little curiosity, making my eyes bulge in total shock.

I looked down at my little Mate, sadness mixed with my fury. How could he have lived for so long under such torture. I saw where he was when I got him. They had him hanging from his wrists from the ceiling, his feet weren’t touching the ground, he was chained and completely still. He couldn’t move. He had been wired up to tasers that would have killed him if he had fallen asleep or passed out. The rage I felt inside was more than enough to kill an entire Pack. How could anyone hurt someone so much smaller than they were let alone someone as beautiful as my Ra'ne.

I did not understand how someone could treat another so poorly. We were all the same, we all had a place in this world not matter what our ranking was. Alpha to Omega we were all part of this world and we all had a part to play. My Beta, Callum was the son of a Beta and Omega and he was almost as strong as I was, he was fast and smart and could keep up with the best of us. We had been best friends growing up, until my 18th birthday but that was not something I went too deep into.

There was a lot to learn from being with an Omega. They were not physically strong so they had to use other means to get what they needed done. They used stools or ropes to do the things Alphas or Betas would do without those things. It was always quite adorable to watch an Omega work on something I could never do.

Alphas and Betas were hunters and Warriors while the Gammas were more like the Watchers, they had the best eyes. Omegas had the odd jobs, they were gathers, homemakers and such. It was what made life in the BloodStar Pack so much easier. We had a Balance that made it so much easier because every one had a specific job to do that made it easier for everyone else in the community as a whole.

I wanted to show it all to my little Mate. To show him that his life was no longer that hell it once was. That he was among friends and people who would actually care about what happened to him.

I would make it so Ra’ne could see that this was not the hell he grew up in.
