The Alpha's Abused Mate

Chapter 5

I was just waking up, I opened my eyes and smiled. Oh my god! I have never done these things. I turn to my side to look at Ashy, he is already looking at me with a smile and a now familiar sparkle in his eyes.

"Good afternoon Angel" he said in a husky voice that sent chills down my spine. I looked at the clock and true enough it was 3pm.

I hugged him just because I wanted to "Good afternoon Ashy" I said shyly, I felt him smile against my neck as he hugged me back. I was getting more rest and comfort than I have in my whole life.

"Are you ready to meet my parents ?" he asked while pulling back and looking me in the eyes. Oh goddess!!! Those eyes..... I could get lost in their depths happily I wonder what his parents look like ....

"Angel" he called and laughed at me for not paying attention, I quickly snapped out of the trance and looked anywhere but him. I felt my cheeks heating up but what can I say, he brings out all these emotions that I never dreamed of having.

He slowly cupped my cheek and turned me towards him, as soon as he kissed me all my thoughts flew out of the window, this was different it didn't have any lust in it ,this kiss was so full of love and adoration as if I was the most precious thing in the world.

I felt more cherished and loved than I could ever have hoped, I kissed back with the same intensity after a few more seconds we pulled apart.

He looked at me and said,” Angel I feel so happy that you like me enough to look at me like that, with so much adoration because it lets me know that I am not the only one who is madly in love with you"

I smiled and bought his right hand to my left cheek and leaned into it and said, “Of course I do, you are perfect and it still surprises me that you could love someone like me ", I whispered the last part and closed my eyes.

"You are perfect to me Angel, I wish you could see yourself through my eyes" he said with sadness laced in his voice. I opened my eyes to see him giving me a sad smile with pain evident in his eyes, I immediately feel guilty.

I cupped both his cheeks and said "I am sorry I didn't mean to make you sad, please don't be upset because of me" looking him in the eyes.

"Angel I know you didn't and it is not your fault, its that bastard's fault who made you feel like this and have drilled it into your head. But remember that you are nothing less than my precious Angel. I know you might not be ready, but it will help you and me if you could tell me what happened to you and who made you like this. I promise that I will make them pay “ he said with determination and anger which I know was not for me.

I froze. Should I tell him? Of course I should, he has been nothing but sweet to me since we met and I think he deserves to know about it even if he might not want me after that .

And so I told him all about how my mom died giving birth to me and how my father blamed me for it. While I was telling this I could see disgust in his eyes which I knew was for me, but I still didn't stop, might as well tell him all of it if he is going to reject me I thought and continued telling him how I was abused, how I shifted the night he tried to kill me and how I ran away and he knew the rest.

I got up after I finished and when I was about to touch the door handle immediately I was turned around and pushed into an all too familiar hard chest "where do you think you are going?" he asked with anger and hurt in his voice.

"I know you don't want me anymore and are disgusted by me and its ok I understand, so I was just leaving to make it easier for the both of us" I said with pain and sadness I heard his breath hitch and I immediately tensed.

He pulled back and looked at me with love "Do you think it is your fault?" I immediately felt bad and guilty for doubting him of whether he was going to hit me, but I stiffened at the question but answered it truthfully.

"Yes" I whispered hoarsely because I felt like I was about to cry, he immediately hugged me to his chest and I hugged back not caring whether I deserved him or not.

"Oh Angel it was not your fault or anyone else for that matter your mother died because of the circumstances, I am sure even if she knew that she could die giving birth to you she would do it because that is what mothers do. They care for their children more than themselves and I am sure she would be very proud of the woman you have become today, so sweet, kind, selfless even after going through so much. I promise you Angel, I will make sure that you never feel any less loved than you deserve" he said with so much sincerity that I believed him.

For the first time in my life, I believed that it was not my fault. I felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders .I slowly stopped crying but I felt so exhausted he picked me up bridal style with my arms around his neck.

He took me to the bed and slowly placed me on it when he was leaving I tightened my hold on him, "Shhhhh.. Angel I am not going anywhere, I am just getting you some juice and fruits. I know that you are tired but you have to eat ok? I’ll be back in a minute I promise“ he slowly soothed me and left.

I knew he would come back so I relaxed into the bed, not able to go to sleep because he was not here. I have become so attached to him in such a short time, it was both exciting and scary. But it was becoming less scary each day.

I looked outside it was dark the time was 8 pm, 5 hours of talking and crying? No wonder I felt so exhausted.

True to his word he was back in less than a minute, with a tray having the biggest glass I have ever seen filled with what I think is mango juice and a huge bowl of different fruits out of which I didn't know the names.

He sat beside me on the bed, put the tray down and pulled me onto his lap. I blushed but snuggled closer to him with my back against his chest. He slowly fed me while telling the name of each one because I asked him to and made me drink the whole glass, but I made sure he ate at least half of the bowl and some of the juice.

After we finished my eyes started to shut slowly and I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"What about your parents?" I asked sleepily.He laid us both down, spooned me from behind and hugged me closer, he kissed my head and said, “its ok Angel they will understand, we can meet them tomorrow. You have had a long day, now go to sleep darling. You don't need to worry about anything as long as I'm here. I will always take care of you Angel, I love you Angel"

"I love you too Ashy forever"i said and drifted off to sleep.
