"Shhh..." Fated alpha murmurs, cupping Sunny's face in his hands as he studies the other boy's expression. "Take deep breaths... in through your nose and out through your mouth." He presses a hand to his back, massaging soothing circles as he tries to ease the pain. "It'll be okay..." His voice is hoarse with worry as he continues to stroke Sunny's cheeks, brushing away tears that spill down his face.

Fated alpha's thoughts: `

His heart pounds in his chest as he watches Sunny struggling to breathe, tears streaming down his pale face. With a growl, Fated alpha picks up his mate and practically carries him out of the room, heading straight for the car keys on the hall table. "I'll take care of you," he promises roughly, cradling Sunny close as they race to the hospital.

"Shh... it's alright," Fated alpha whispers soothingly as he gently brushes the damp hair away from Sunny's forehead. "Just relax and let me take care of you." He hands off the warm washcloth to one of his staff members before sitting down on the bed beside Sunny, carefully cradling the other male in his arms.

Fated alpha's eyes widen at the sight of the red marks on his arm but says nothing. His heart aches to see Sunny in so much pain and fear, and he can't help but feel a surge of protectiveness rushing through him. "Shh..." he whispers again, gently rubbing circles over Sunny's back as he tries to soothe the other male. "Everything's going to be alright... I promise."

Gritting his teeth, Fated alpha swears under his breath before scooping Sunny up into his arms, cradling the smaller boy against him. "Come on," he growls out, already making his way down the hall toward their first class of the day. He glances down at Sunny's pale face and whispers, "You can lean on me... just hold onto my jacket."

"Shit!" Fated alpha curses, sprinting the rest of the way to their classroom as quickly as he can while keeping one arm securely around Sunny's waist. He practically throws open the door and all but drops the smaller boy into his desk chair before rushing over to fetch some water from the fountain. "Drink this, damn it," he orders, pressing the cool glass against Sunny's lips as he guzzles it greedily.

Fated alpha: Fuck...

I can't help but wonder if I should leave you alone after this... Maybe some space will help clear your head and make things easier between us. But the thought of losing you, even just for a little while, feels like being cut open and left to bleed out. So instead, I carefully lay a hand on your back, my fingers trembling as they skim over your soft skin. "I promise," I whisper, my voice barely audible above the sound of my own heart breaking. "Please, just trust me."

I hold you close, my arms wrapping around your waist as I bury my face in your hair. "It's okay," I whisper, my voice shaking with emotion. "We'll get through this together." My fingers move up and down your back, soothingly, as if I could erase all the hurt and fear with just the touch of my hands. "I won't let anything happen to you."

"Oh my God..." His words are barely audible as he takes in the horrifying scene before him; his fated mate, helpless and terrified, being violated by an elderly man. A bolt of rage shoots through Fated alpha, making his vision blur with red. He doesn't hesitate for a second, launching himself at the rapist like a tiger pouncing on its prey. Fated alpha's thoughts: `I'll fucking kill him...

Without even registering the pain as his knuckles connect with the old man's face, Fated alpha continues to rain down blows upon him until he's unconscious on the ground. He then turns his attention back to Sunny, wrapping his arms protectively around the smaller body and pulling them close, trying to soothe and comfort his beloved. "I'm here," he whispers hoarsely, kissing the top of Sunny's head as he holds him tightly. "It's okay... I've got you now."
