The Abused Lycan and Her Mates

Chapter 6

Violet POV

I was in the arms of my mate and the other man walks out of the door. I was scared of him after seeing his red eye but he looked so hurt when he left the room. I looked up to the one that was holding me and can see the hurt and sadness in his eyes. They were mates too. He was being so gentle with me even though I hurt his mate. “You can ask me any questions you have” the man said.

I wanted to ask so many but I was nervous to find out the truth. “Why didn’t he fight back” I asked. He sighed before speaking. “My name is Cameron by the way and that was Gabriel. He didn’t fight back because he could never hurt his mate.” He tells me. “I um” I don’t know what to say. So, Cameron continues talking. “I know that you have been treated poorly and hurt badly but I can promise you that we would never do that to you. Gabe is not like those vampires that caused you pain.”

Wait did he say vampire. “What do you mean?” I asked him. He sighs and then pulls me away to look at him. “Gabe is a hybrid. He is a mix between a lycan and vampire.” I start to shake and then look at Cameron’s neck for any bite marks or cuts. He starts to laugh as my hands pull his shirt around while I look for any signs that this Gabriel has fed off him. “Sweetheart, Gabe has never drank from me if that is what you are looking for. His diet consists of animal blood and regular food.”

I am shocked by this. How can a vampire not have given into the thirst for blood. “Is that why he smelled strange to me?” I asked him. Cameron nodded his head and then looked to the window. “He was worried about you hating him when you found out what he is. We stood by the window while you were sleeping talking about it. All he has ever wanted was his mate and he was blessed with two of us.” Cameron continues to say but that still does not answer my question.

Cameron closes his eyes and takes a deep breath before talking again. “I know that you have been through a lot but if you think about rejecting him, then please reject me too. I wont be able to handle him going feral.” Cameron says in a quiet voice. “Why would he go feral? I only have heard of lycan and wolves going feral when they don’t find their mate” I stated. Cameron nods his head but still does not open his eyes. “There are two other ways we can go feral. If their mate dies and….” He trails off taking a deep breath. “if they are rejected.” He finishes and I hear the pain in his voice.

We sat in complete silence for a few minutes before he continued. “We both were so close to going feral. Him more so but we felt the bond between us at a young age. We just didn’t understand it until one night when Gabe lost control. The only good thing was we were fighting off a group of rouge and those from our pack got away without any injuries. I was the only one who calmed him that night but it was only after he saw that I was hurt.” Cameron said.

I can’t believe what I was hearing. They both were close to becoming feral and if rejected them, they would be feral. “What would happen if either of you would become feral?” I asked. Cameron looked me in the eyes and I can see the pain. “We would have to be killed. We promised each other that if either one of us lost complete control that we would be the one to end the other.” Cameron said in a quiet voice. I reached up to place my hand on his face and he leaned into my hand.

I could see the tears running down his face. I wanted to comfort him but I was scared too. The door opened and in walked a man in a white coat. “Um Beta, I hear that the young lady is awake.” Beta. I was mated to a beta. I looked up to see Cameron wiping his eyes and he looks to me. “I will be right back. They will make sure your wounds are healing. I am going to check on Gabe and then bring you something to eat.” He tells me. I get up and make my way back to the bed and watch as he leaves the room.

Once the doctor checks my wounds and changes the bandages, he leaves the room. I wait thinking about everything that Cameron has told me. Then I think about his rank. He is a beta lycan. I wonder if Gabriel is ranked or if he a warrior. He has the build as a top warrior but there is something else to his aura. I don’t want then to leave but I am still worried that they will use me like before. I have so many questions that I will have to ask him.

There is a knock on my door and I freeze. I feel my lycan stir and then sniff the air. It smelled good and I knew it was Cameron but I also smelled my other mate close by. Cameron entered the room carrying clothes and a try with food. “I thought you might like to change into something a little more comfortable” he said with a smile as he handed me the clothes.

I took the clothes and noticed the shirt smelled like Gabriel. I looked to Cameron and he shrugged his shoulders. “He wanted to make sure his scent was on you. He can be a bit protective” Cameron laughed. “Why would he be protective like that. I mean you are a beta” I told him. Cameron’s eye slight up and then he laughed again.

“Sweetheart, he is going to be more protective and possessive than me. He is an alpha but also the prince of our kingdom.” I am lost for words. My mates were royal. I attacked a royal. I started to back away from Cameron and dropped the clothes. I was going to be punished. “Hey, sweetheart, calm down. Everything is ok. You are safe here” Cameron said holding his hands up.

I start to shake and wait for the hit but it never comes. I look up to see the hurt in his eyes. “Please” he reaches out his hand for me to take. My lycan is saying that I should trust him but I am still hesitant. He was like that at first. All caring and loving but then it got worse one day.

I just nod my head and carefully step closer to Cameron. He smiles and then places his hand on my arm. “We will never hurt you. I don’t know what happened to you or what you have been through but I cam promise you that I will never let anything happen to you.” I look into his eyes looking to see if he is telling me the truth. I can see he really means every word he says and my lycan agrees that we can trust him.

I pick up the clothes that I dropped and move towards the bathroom to get changed. Once I close the door, I take the shirt and smell it. I enjoy the scent and my lycan is purring at smelling her mate. I look into the mirror and see the scars that cover my body. How can they want someone like me? I am covered in scars and not that pretty. There is no way for me to stand beside them.

A knock on the door pulls me away from my thoughts. “Yes” I call out. “Sweetheart, we are all set to get you to our room.” Cameron calls out. I sigh and get dressed. Once I am changed, I open the door and am greeted with a smile on Cameron’s face. He offers me his arm and I look at him wondering what he is doing. He sighs and then reaches for my hand and places it on his arm. He then leads me out of the hospital and into the main packhouse.

We are greeted by a lot of different people and then I catch the scent of my other mate Gabriel. I look to Cameron and see him looking up the stairs. I see Gabriel talking with another man but he must have noticed us since he turns towards us and smiles. The other man must be the alpha of the pack based on his size the aura that we sense from him.

I watch as both men slowly walk down the stairs and stop in front of me. Gabriel stays where he is standing and watches as the alpha bows to me. “I am so glad to see that you are doing well. How are you feeling?” he asks me. “I feel better. Thank you” I say back to him with a bow but I am greeted with a low growl. I look to see Gabriel close his eyes and take a deep breath. “Sorry. I will go back to our room for a little bit. I will join you for lunch in a little bit” he says as he walks away.

I wanted to reach out to him and tell him it’s ok but Cameron’s grip on my arms tightens a little. “Let him have a few minutes love” Cameron says. I nod my head and turn back to the alpha. “Well, he is going to be a hard one to keep calm.” The alpha chuckles. Cameron shakes his head and sighs. “He is but he will also be the one no one wants to mess with” Cameron adds.

I smile at him and nod my head. “I have a feeling that you are right” I tell him. “Sorry for being rude but I never introduced myself. I am Alpha Joshua but you can call me Josh.” He says with a bow. My lycan is happy and for once is relaxed. I shake my head and chuckle. “I am the rude one. You have been nothing but kind to me and I never thanked you.” I tell Josh. He shakes his head and smiles. “Please, it is my honor to help anyone in need.” He says with a small bow.

“Well let’s head to the dinning room and get something to eat. I bet you are hungry” just as Josh finishes his statement, my stomach growls. I blush and nod my head. Cameron and Josh both chuckle as they lead me to a small dinning room. “This is the alpha area. I thought you would like a quiet lunch” Josh says. I smile and thank him as I sit down.

There is so much food and I don’t know where to begin. As I am about to bite into a sandwich, the door opens and in walks Gabriel. He makes his way to sit next to Cameron. I watch as he starts to fill his plate with food and starts to eat. I can tell that he is trying to avoid looking at me and it bothers me. Cameron grabs my hand and rubs his fingers on the back of my hand.

“How is your lunch sweetheart?” Cameron asked me. “It’s good but I don’t think I can finish it.” I tell him quietly. I heard a quiet growl and look to see Gabriel has his eyes closed again. He slowly gets up and heads towards the doors but this time I stand up and call out to him. “Please, don’t leave.” He stops where he is standing and I can see he is trying to stay calm. “I am sorry love but I need some space. My beast is trying to take control and that is the last thing I want to happen” he tells me as he walks out of the room.

I sit back down and feel the tears run down my face. “He doesn’t want me” I whisper but Cameron must have heard it. “No love. He does want you. He just doesn’t trust himself right now.” Cameron pulls me into his lap and rubs small circles on my lower back to help calm me down. My lycan is hurt that he walked away.

After a few minutes, I finally calm down and pull away to look at Cameron. “He really does care. He just doesn’t want to do anything that would hurt or scare you.” Cameron says before kissing the top of my head. “You know, I never did get your name” he says with a smile. I smile and wipe away the tears that are left on my face. “It’s Violet.” I tell him. “It’s perfect” he says with a purr.

We finish eating and talking a little bit more. I learned that the pack has been having some problems with the rouges and that I was rescued from them. They also took down the second in command. I also learn that Cameron has two dads and they can’t wait to meet me. By time we finish talking, I am exhausted and to take a nap.

Cameron takes me up to “our room” as he calls it. Once inside the room, I can smell that both of my mates have been in the room. I look around and see that Gabriel is nowhere to be seen. It hurts thinking that he is avoiding me. I can’t help it but I have to know. “Why is he avoiding me?” I asked Cameron. “I know you said he doesn’t trust himself but he can’t even stand being in the same room as me” I tell him as I start to cry more.

I feel a pair of arms wrap around me and hear Cameron trying to calm me down but nothing he says helps. He picks me up and lays me on the bed with him behind me. I continue to cry and tell him that it hurts but all he does he growl before he talks. “Violet, I will talk to him. Please don’t give up on him” he tells me. After crying some more, I finally feel the exhaustion and close my eyes.
