The Alpha's Broken Mate

Chapter 12

*Marissa*

    On our way to the party, we stopped and picked up Alpha Jonathan. He was very kind as he told my mother and I how beautiful we looked. He wished me a happy belated birthday and gave me a gift that he wanted me to open later. I smiled warmly at him and thanked him for the gift before continuing to pretend I was invisible. Alpha Jonathan and my parents talked for the remainder of the trip and an occasional comment or question was thrown my way. I politely answered and showed my manners. 

    After three hours, we finally pulled into the gates. I quickly looked out the window and my eyes grew wide as I saw not a home but a mansion in front of me. The grounds all the way up were decorated in all kinds of roses and flowers. Everything was neatly done and it showed how much money this pack had. I grew a little nervous as we drew closer. Soon the limo stopped and everyone climbed out. My door opened and Alpha Jonathan offered me his hand, which I politely grabbed. I climbed out and saw two elderly but kind wolves on the top step smiling down at us. Alpha Jonathan led me up the steps with my mother and step-father closely behind. I had to grab the side of my gown in order for me not to step on it. We got to the top steps, where we all politely lowered our heads and bowed to honor their grown and their pack.

    “Welcome, Alpha Jonathan.” said the elderly man.

    “Thank you, Alpha Marcus. You must be Luna Lily.” said Jonathan turning to the lady standing next to Marcus and kissing her hand. 

    “It’s nice to finally meet you, Alpha Jonathan.” replied Lily.

    “Likewise.”

    “Who is this young beauty?” asked Marcus, indicating towards me.

    “This is my deceased Beta’s daughter, Marissa.” gesturing towards me. “This is her beautiful mother, Beta Cassandra and her husband Beta Larry.”

    “You have such a beautiful daughter, Cassandra.” said Lily.

    “Thank you.” said my mother. 

    “Where is the young Alpha?” asked Jonathan.

    His parents turned around and seemed surprised that he was not standing there with them. They shared a quick glance before looking back at us with a smile on their face.

    “He went inside to greet our guests personally.” said Lily.

    “Why don’t we head on in and enjoy the festivities.” said Marcus.

    As we walked in, I smelled something good. It reminded me of my favorite scent at Bath and Body Works, Graphite. I shook my head as we continued making our way inside.

    Mate my wolf said.

    I jumped a little startled to hear my wolf speak. We communicated every now and then but not often enough where I would feel her presence in my head.

    Our mate is here? I asked her.

    Yes. Do you not smell that delicious scent? 

    Do you mean the Graphite smell?

    Yes

    It’s just some males who have the lotion on.

    I don’t think so she replied.

    Let’s just see how this night goes before we get our hopes up.

    I felt her nod as we continued making our way to the ballroom. The lights were slightly dimmed but we could see everyone’s faces. Jonathan led my family around the room introducing us to the other packs and introducing me to a lot of eligible bachelors that were not my mate. All the males had the same lustful look which I grew quite tired of. I glanced behind me to take a look at my step-father and his facial expression told me that he did not like all these males around me. 

    Soon we were led onto the dance floor where I meet a few other nice females my age. We danced and danced until my feet started to hurt. I quietly walked away from the group and saw a set of double doors that let out to a small garden. I took off my shoes and started making my way outside to get some cool fresh air. There was no one outside by the time I arrived and I let the feel of the grass brush against my ankles. The lights that were on the trees let off a beautiful glow of the fountains that they had. I found a swing in the middle of the garden and sat down pushing myself back and forth. I smiled to myself, forgetting how it felt to be on a swing as I slowly started getting lost in my own thoughts.

    “Hello, beautiful.” said a voice behind me.

    Startled, I got up and spun around which led me to fall. Before I could hit the ground, I felt strong arms grab me and steady me.

    I looked over to the gentleman who saved me from embarrassing myself and quickly looked down. He was handsome with a boyish face. He had reddish hair and brown eyes. His friend looked a little older standing next to him with blonde hair and green eyes.

    “Hello.” I mumbled back. 

    “What pack are you from?” the blonde one asked me. 

    “I am the Beta’s daughter from the Nightshade pack.” I told them.

    “My name is Alpha Julian and this is Alpha Hector.” said the blonde guy. “What’s your name?”

    “My name is Marissa, Alphas. It’s nice to meet you both.” I said bowing my head at them.

    “Please do not do that, Marissa” said Hector. “What are you doing out here alone?”

    “I came out here to get some air and to sit down for a bit.”

    “Do you mind if we join you?” asked Julian.

    “Please.” I replied before sitting back down on the swing.

    “Do you want a push?” asked Hector.

    I nodded at him and watched him walk behind me before putting his hand at the small of my back and gently pushing me forward. We stood quiet for a few moments and I could tell them were mindlinking each other because they both had glossy eyes. I sat quietly letting them dispute what they needed and let the feel of the cool air brush against my face. My thoughts traveled back to when I was little and my father was pushing me on the swing. It made me feel like I was on top of the world. I let my eyes slide closed as I continued letting the memory engulf me.

    All of a sudden, my swing stopped. I opened my eyes, glanced up and saw that Julian was standing in front of me and Hector was very close behind me. This made me a little nervous but I did not want to think that they would try to do something on land that was not theirs.

    “Is something wrong?” I asked.

    As I looked up at Julian’s eyes, I saw the dark lust that many of the males had for me here. My eyes instantly widened as I realized that no one knew I was out here and how vulnerable I just made myself. I tried to get up, but Julian put his hands around my hands that were holding the swing. I felt Hector step closer and soon felt his enlarged member at the small of my back. I whimpered out loud as I felt my fear run through my body.

    “Do not be afraid, love.” said Hector as his hands came in front of me to plunge down the front of my dress.

    His hands started caressing my breasts and I felt a scream rise up my throat.

    “If you scream, no one will ever find your body and then what would your poor mother do?” said Julian. 

    I held my tongue as Hector massaged his hands over my breasts. Julian released my hands only to put them together and hold them with one hand. With the other hand now free, he let it slide up under my dress and started touching the front of my underwear. I whimpered again and some tears started to fall. It was only me who would be lucky enough to find trouble that wasn’t even on my own land. This was one of the many reasons why I didn’t like to dress too much like a girl. All my girlfriends back home would always tell me that I had the body, but I liked to wear my hoodies and sweatpants. 

    What should we do? asked my wolf

    I don’t know. I don’t think there’s much we can do except pray that they finish quickly

    I’m sorry Marissa. You deserve so much better than this.

    Her words brought more tears to my eyes and I let them flow as they continued on their path. Neither of them made a move to take off their pants and I was grateful for that.
