His Abused Mate

Chapter 6

I started to run faster but I could hear the wolves coming for me. I decided to run toward the mountains because they could lose my sent there. However, when I reached a river 10 miles down, I noticed a wolf already on the other side and I stopped. I looked into their eyes. It was Ky. How did he outrun me? 

He jumped across the river and landed in front of me. He went behind a tree and shifted. He came out wearing only a pair of shorts. He also had other clothes in his hands. They were probably meant for me. He came up to me and saw the crescent moon on my forehead. He touched it gently and then looked into my eyes. 

"Elizabeth I know it's you. Shift."

He put the clothes up to my mouth and I grabbed them with my teeth. Then I went behind the same tree, shifted, and changed. I came out slowly because I wasn't sure what he was going to do. I walked over towards him with my head down. He didn't say anything so after a while, I looked up at him. I could see in his eyes that he was confused, angry, and hurt. 

"Why?" was all he asked me. 

When I didn't answer, he picked me up in his arms and used his wolf speed to get us to the packhouse. Within minutes we were back at the house and in my room. 

"Why?" he asked again. 

"Why do you think," I asked back. 

"I am the one asking the questions here! Just answer the goddam question " he said angrily. 

I flinched in fear for the second time that night. When he saw how I reacted, he took a deep breath and sat on the floor next to my feet. He looked up at me with an apology written all over his face. 

"I'm sorry I scared you. I know I haven't treated you right but I still must know all of the reasons why you wanted to leave. Why did you want to leave me?"

Was he serious? How could he not know? 

"Well for starters instead of acting like I am your mate, you act as if I am just something you can play with. You have hit me, grabbed my hair, and made me cry. Celeste also treats me like crap and you let her. I know you have a reputation to uphold with the biggest and strongest pack but I am your mate and I would have thought that you would treat me better than that. Then the whole thing with the dude in the kitchen happened and that was my last straw. That one wasn't you're fault but you have no idea how scared I was."

"I'm sorry Beth. I know I have hurt you. I am not ready to explain why right now but I will tell you. I came into your room earlier to see if you were awake but when I saw that you weren't there, I started to look for you. I caught your scent and could tell you were in the kitchen but something didn't feel right. I could smell another male in there with you and I heard you crying. When I burst through the door and saw him on top of you, and then looked in your eyes, something inside me broke. Then I got angry because I couldn't stand to see you hurt like that."

"I have a question."

"Ask anything you want my love."

"Okay, two. First of all, Beth?"

"It's my nickname for you. Do you like it?"

I thought about it for a minute. My parents used to call me that and the sound of it reminded me of them. 

"Yes, I do."

He smiled in excitement. 

"Okay, what is your second question?"

"How did you get in front of me when I ran away?"

"I am an Alpha remember? I run faster than most wolves."

"I know that but I am..." 

I shut my mouth. I almost said that I was the moon goddess's daughter. She said I could trust him but there was still a part of me that doubted him. I had to come up with some excuse. 

"I am an Alpha's daughter so I have it in my blood. I thought that maybe with a head start, I would be able to outrun you."

"Aw, that's cute. You did run really fast because my Beta couldn't keep up with you but sorry to tell you that you can't outrun the alpha," he said with a smirk on his face. I frowned. 

"Your wolf," is all he said next. 

" What about it?"

"It's beautiful. How is it even possible for a wolf to look like that?"

"I don't know," I said without making eye contact. 

"You're lying. I can tell because you aren't looking at me."

"Well, maybe I don't want to tell you. You have secrets and I have them too."

At those words, he stood up and towered over me with anger in his eyes. I stood up too, standing my ground. 

"Well then. To make sure your secrets are never the source to make you leave..."

He grabbed me and pushed me down on the bed and got on top of me. I was scared because I didn't want him to hurt me. I couldn't stop the tears rolling down my face. He kissed my tears away and then kissed me on the lips. He made his way to my neck, where I was supposed to be marked. I knew what he was going to do. 

He sunk his teeth into my marking spot and I screamed in pain. Then the pain was instantly replaced with pleasure. I moaned and he growled. Then he let go. 

"Now you can't ever leave again."

He got off me and started to walk out the door but I stopped him, punching him out of frustration. 

"How could you! I didn't give you permission! You can't call me love and Beth one minute and then doing something like this. It's why I left you the first time!" 

He grabbed my hands to stop me from hitting him. 

"I know it hurts you that I did this, but I won't lose someone I love ever again." 

I let my arms fall to my sides in defeat.
