His little mate

Chapter 15

Anna’s POV

It has been three days since we went for lunch in the town. I had a lot of fun with Marcus and his family, they where really funny. I also loved to make breakfast for them in the morning, the twins loved to help me, they would come and run in our room and jump on the bed waking us up at eight am. We would tell them to get dressed and go to the kitchen. While they where busy getting ready I would get into the shower and get dressed so I would be there before they where.

Every morning Marcus would join us, but this morning when I came back into the room after I showered and got dressed he was asleep, he had fallen back asleep. He looked so cute. I quietly made my way to the closet to put on some shoes. I was wearing white long-sleeve, turtleneck shirt with jeans with white socks. I went into the closet and put on my white shoes and I quietly went out of the room so Marcus would not wake up.

I walked towards the kitchen and there I saw the twins fighting about what they wanted to eat for breakfast. Julian wanted chocolate-chip-pancakes and Lily wanted waffles. I walked up to them and I set an a stool, I kept listening to them. When it was a couple minutes later I stood up and I picked up all the ingredients to make both. I placed everything on the kitchen bench and I started to get my kitchen tools. When I had everything in place I noticed that the twins where silent. They where looking at me, at what I was placing on the bench to figure out what I was making. I placed the waffle iron on the bench and Lily started to cheer an Julian just pouted at me, but then I placed a pan on the stove and he smiled at me. “How about you two get some chairs so you can reach the top.” Before I was done speaking they were gone to get some chairs.

When they where back they each chose a side and soon I gave them everything they needed. I let them make the batter while heating the stove and making a fruit salad. When I was done I went on to the buns I had made yesterday and placed them in the oven and sat a timer. I turned back to the twins and they where looking at me, because I had forbidden them to touch the stove or waffle iron. I smiled at them and I did the waffles first because he still needed to put the chocolate-chips true the batter.

I was done with the last waffle and then I went on with the pancakes. When I was done I had a couple plates whit steaming pancakes, waffles and buns. I told them to set the table and they ran to do it. I picked up the food and I walked them to the table. When everything was set I told them to wake everyone up so they could eat breakfast, it was already 9 am. I walked back into the kitchen and I baked some bacon and scrambled eggs, I placed everything in bowls and plates and put it on the table. When I was done I saw everybody getting in and sitting down. When the twins came back I wondered where Marcus was. “Where is Marcus?” I asked them. They looked at me and just shrugged. “I will get him, but you can start eating.” I told them with a smile, and I did not have to tell them twice, werewolf’s are hungry creatures I thought to myself. “HEY!!!” Hope yelled in my head, and I just giggled at that while I walked into our room. I looked around but I could not see him, I sniffed and I could still smell him. A couple seconds later he walked out of the shower with only a towel around him, I quickly closed my eyes. “I am so, so sorry! I did not know you where you where and the twins could not find you.” I told him in one go, still with my eyes shut. I felt him walk up to me and touch my face. “I do not mind, everything you just saw is yours.” I could feel him leaning closer to me and his head was next to my ear. ”And also what is under the towel, do not worry, as soon as you are ready I will give you every inch of me.” He told me I a sexy whisper.

I could not move, I had my eyes closed shut and I am sure I was redder as an tomato. I was trembling a little on my legs, but not because of fear. I could feel him walking away from me and I let out a shaky breath. I did not dare to move. And after a few minutes I felt him close again. “You can open your eyes now little mate, I am fully clothed.” He said chuckling. I slowly opened them and looked at him. He was indeed fully clothed. I gave him a weak smile. He smiled back and gave me a kiss on my nose.

“But, why where you and the twins looking for me?” He asked me. I looked at him confused, I did not understand what he meant, looking for him? “We were looking for him because of breakfast, remember” Hope told me. “Oh yeah, the twins and I made breakfast and everyone was there except you. So I told everyone to start eating while I went looking for you.” I told him, “Thanks Hope!” I told her. He smiled at me and suddenly his face turned into a frown. “You mean, you told my family to start eating.” I nodded my head. “The same family that at your entire stock of food you made five days ago, in one day. A stock that could have easily fed half of my pack.” I still nodded my head. He looked at me with a blank impression on his face.

He suddenly grabbed my wrist and started to drag me gently out of our room. “We have been standing to long in that room, we need to hurry if we want to eat anything.” He said while dragging me, usually when I was dragged it was harsh and painful, it also always had a ending with me hurt. I started to tremble a little, scarred for what may happen. Suddenly he came to a hold and he looked at me. I was trembling and I was sure I looked white, I also could feel myself loosing air. He quickly let go of my wrist and I started to hug myself, trying to calm myself down, but it would not work, it never worked. I was having a pannick attack.

I was having flashes of Max dragging me around the house, up stairs down stairs, into the woods and the dungeon. And then also about me being hit multiple times and I knew what came after, I closed my eyes but I could still see the images. I sank down at the floor hugging my knees and hyper ventilating, I could not calm myself down. “He is not here Anna, calm down” Hope told me multiple times but it would not reach me, and somehow I blocked her out, that always happens at some point. I had blocked everything out, I could only see Max, he was dragging me.

Flashback

“You filthy fat little w***e, how dare you steel food, MINE FOOD! You will regret taking the food, you are to fat anyway, you belong with the pigs. I will teach you a lesson.” I had only taken a bite of a left over piece  of apple, almost everything was already eaten from it, but I was really hungry, I had not eaten anything in weeks, I knew I was to fat, but I could not go without food any longer. I was dragged out side where we kept the animals for food chickens, cows and pigs. I was dragged in front of the fence that was holding the animals in. It was around one pm, and a lot of people where outside. He threw me on the floor and started to kick me. “Hey you kids! Yeah you with the sticks and stones! Come here and teach this pig a lesson! First you throw the rocks and then you hit her with the sticks.” He told the kids, and they did exactly as they were ordered.

Eventually he gave the order for them to stop, he gripped my hair and he opened the fence, I did not have anything left in me, it was beaten out of me. I was thrown against the back of the shed, in the mud. I looked up and I saw it was going to rain soon. He gripped my wrist and neck and he shackled me at the wall of the she with silver chains, now I was shackled outside, in the mud surrounded by animals. He looked at me, I was bloody, bruised and beaten I was sure I had a few broke ribs. “I see you still have something these pigs do not have and they are way nicer and better than you are.” He said smirking at me, and he ripped my clothes off.

He opened the pack link so I could also hear it. And he told everyone that that I was here to be punished, I was nothing, lower than a pig and they could do whatever they wanted to me. He also told them to tell the ones that where to young for the mind link. Anna… Anna… Little mate… I am here… there is nothing wrong… open your eyes… look at me you are save… come on it is me… I suddenly heard, but I never hear this, no one ever cares for me. I saw the beta come up to me for his first round of the day. I suddenly felt something warm surrounding me, I looked down and I saw I was muddy and bloody, but I was not shackled anymore. I looked up and the beta was gone.

End of Flashback

My surrounding in the mud faded and I saw I was sitting on the ground hugging my knees. I saw a pair of arms surrounding me and I could hear words being whispered  into my ear, they calmed me down, but I could not hear what they said. I started to smell Marcus his scent, and I knew he was the one hugging me that is why I felt so save. I slowly opened my eyes and I found myself holding my knees with my head in my knees hyperventilating. Marcus was behind me, he was holding me and I started to hear what he said. “Sshh little mate, everything is alright, it is not real, you are save, you are with me, come back to me…” all kind of sweet stuff.

I acknowledged his present and he realised I was back and he took my face in his big hands. “Hey, are you alright? What happened there? You suddenly went away and I could not get you back, you had a pannick attack.” He told me. “I-I-I…” I could not say anything I was still a little shaken up. “Sshh, easy do not push yourself to do or say anything.” He told me. I took a deep breath and I started talking. “When y-you where dragging me I-I remembered how I was dragged al a-around my old pack, literally and figural. I-I had a flashback f-from the time M-Max dragged m-me outside i-into t-the mud and p-pigs. H-H-e told m-e I-I was l-l-less than a p-pig.” I told him and I felt the tears silently streaming down my face.

I could feel him stiffen while I spoke, he was angry. I hugged him and buried my face in his chest, I did not want to look at him, but I also did not want him angry. I knew he would not be angry at me or put it out on me, but it was still a little scarry. I felt him calm down. “Hey, little mate, he is not here. He can and will not hurt you anymore. I will make sure of it.” Whit that he picked me up and he walked us back to our room. I gripped him tight at his shirt and I had a arm around his neck. I noticed I had drenched his shirt. “I am sorry.” I told him looking down. “What are you sorry for? Your past? There is nothing you can do about it, and I only like you more because of it, it shows you haw strong you really are.” He told me looking at me.

We walked into our room, I expected him to put me down, but he walked to the bathroom and he put me next to the sink. “Stay there.” He told me and he walked out of the room. It was not like I would or could go anywhere, I was to small te get of th sink without hurting myself and I did not want to leave. He came back with a new shirt for himself and for me, it remembered me that I ruined his shirt, but I wondered why he had one for me, I looked at my shirt and I saw it was ruined to with tears and it was crumbled.

He walked up to me and he picked a washing cloth from beneath the sink and he put warm water on it. He walked up to me and I looked at him wondering what he was going to do with it. “Close your eyes for me little mate.” He told me and I did. I felt the cloth with warm water gently going over my face. It felt nice that he was taking care of me. He took my hands and he cleaned them too. “You can open your eyes now little mate.” I opened my eyes and I looked into his eyes, they were a beautiful silver. “Can I chance you shirt as well little mate?” he asked me. This made me nervous. But I know I can trust him. And I decided to be a little old. “O-only if I can c-chance yours.” I told him in a whisper. He smiled at that, “Deal”. I returned his smile. “Do you want to go fist or should I?” he asked me. “You should go first I told him.” He just smiled and he took the hem of my shirt “Alright little mate, put your hands in the air.” I did what I was told and he took of my shirt. I was really nervous about what he would say about my body, I knew I was fat and hideous “WE ARE NOT” Hope yelled at me and she rolled her eyes. He took in my whole body and I felt shy and insecure, what if he hated my body.

He just starred at me and I started to cover myself but he stopped me. I started to shake a little and he noticed. “You are beautiful little mate. Now put your hands back up so I can put the new shirt on.” He told me and it made me blush. I put my hands back up and he put on my shirt, but before he pulled it completely down he kissed my tummy. It made me blush even more. I was really shy and I wanted to get it over wit because I felt really shy with him so close. “A-alright my turn.” I told him smiling but then I frowned, how was I supposed to get it over his head, even with me sitting on the sink I needed to look up, he was way to tall for me. He noticed my struggle and he chuckled at me. He got down a little so I could reach and he put his arms up, I smiled at this and said a small “Thank you” before I took of his shirt. When it was of he looked at me and I tried not to look at him and his eight-pack, but it was hard sand I could feel myself starting to blush even more.

“It is all yours” he again told me and chuckled. I glared at him because he had already told me that. But he just started laughing and I saw his tummy muscles moving and it was HOT! I just kept glaring at him but at some point it turned into a little smile, I could not keep it up. “Y-you j-j-just look t-to c-cute with that face” he told me and I did not like that, but he finally calmed down enough for me to put his new shirt on. “Now that we are decent, how about we go see if that monsters left something for us.” He told me, and this brought me back to my pannick attack in the hall. “Hey it is alright, it is better out than in right.” He told me and I nodded. “How about I give you a piggy ride? He asked me and I looked at him confused. “What is a piggy ride?” I asked him.

He looked at me for a second and than he explained that I would sit on his ack and he would carry me to the dinning room on his floor. I did not want to do it at first but he told me that it was really fun. So I agreed and sat on his back. He walked with me out of the room to the dinning room he made it look like a real ride with bums in the rood and he even jumped once it was really funny, he ran and made a few crazy stunts, when we reached the dinning room I saw he was right about his family, there was not a crumble left of the breakfast that I had made with the twins.

“Oh, there you two are. Now that you are here I wanted to talk to you two about the reading and writing from you Anna. I want to teach you myself but I will not be able to do that, but I know some tutors that will be happy to help.” His mother told me and it made me blush a little, we had already talked about this, but I felt embarrassed about it. Marcus put me down gently and check if I was Alrigth before he turned to his mom. “I know mom, but I wanted to help her wit it a little next to the tutor so I will need one that will allow me.” He told her. I knew whatever they choose for me I would be alright, I would love it if Marcus would teach me but I know he is really busy. I also know that he would never make me feel uncomfortable with whoever it was that was going to teach me, and I already told him I was fine with what he wanted so they knew my opinion.

I walked into the kitchen and I started to make breakfast for Marcus and me. I made French toast, toast, eggs, bacon,  pancakes, juice for me and coffee for him. I felt someone staring at me and I looked up, and there he was. Standing in the door, he was looking at me with an intense look in his eyes. I looked away from him, “I made some new breakfast for us” I told him. He walked over and he put his arms around me and I looked up at him. “Is there something wrong? We where talking about you and when I wanted to ask yo something you where gone.” He asked me. I looked down again and said “I do not really know what I need with an education, what your mother is talking about. And I am sure that you will choice what is the best for me, I trust you. And if you think I need to stay with you the next time I will.” I told him. “Hey look at me.” He said and I looked up at him. “I am thrilled that you trust me. And I will defiantly do what is best for you. But I want to know your opinion, if you want me to teach you or not, if you want diverent teachers for everything, if you want al man or al women teachers, do you want a human, wolf, witch, vampire? It is al up to you, alright.” He told me.

I had to think about this a little. “I do not really know what to say. I mean I would really like for you to teach me, but I know that you are busy. And I do not feel comfortable around man, except for you and your family. And if you get me al diverent people I think I will not like it because then there will be diverent people watching me. Do vampire and witches really exist?” I told him what I thought about everything and he just looked at me, like he was thinking about everything I just said. “Alright, how about we take one teacher, that is a women, and I will look at the pack-school and human so she will be a wolf or a human. This way you will only have one teacher that will teach you and I will just help you with your homework and things you do not understand. And until I have found her, I will teach you little things and I will find out what you can and cannot do. Does that sound good to you?” He told me, and I nodded, it sounded great to me. But he did not answer my question about vampires and witches. “But what about the vampires and witches?” I asked him. He just laughed at me. “You do not let things slip easily, do you?” he asked me, I just shacked my head and waited for his answer. “Yes, they do exist, but they keep to themselves most of the time.” He told me, and I got the feeling he did not want to say anymore about it. So I let it be. “Lets eat, my family is done and they have already left to clean themselves up, and the already cleaned the table.”

We sat down at the breakfast bar and we started our breakfast. I was finished after some toast, eggs and bacon, but Marcus ate everything I made, and he finished everything. When we were both done I wanted to take his plate but he refused, he took my plate and he cleaned everything and he ordered me to stay put, so I did. When he was done he walked up to me and he swooped me up in his arms and he walked out. I let out a little squeal and after that I giggled. “Where are we going?” I asked him. “To the garden, I want to show you something.” He told me. We walked down the stairs and towards the backdoor. When we were by the door he put me down and he told me to close my eyes. So I did.

He took my hand and he walked me out the door and into the garden, I felt we were walking on a pad. After a minute he told me to open my eyes. And there I saw the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. It had al kinds of colourful flowers and big trees and small trees and bushes and it even had a little lake. I was in love with it instantly. I looked up at him and he was just looking at my face. I was smiling at him and without thinking I jumped into his arms and hugged him and when I pulled away a little he kissed me, not on my head or nose or cheek, but on my lips. I was in heaven. It felt like fireworks went of on my lips and there were butterfly’s going crazy in my stomach and I felt al the tingles I usually felt triple. It was the best kiss of my life. I did not know what to do he was kissing me, and it was amazing. “Kiss him back Anna.” Hope told me, but I did not know how to, kisses were always forced onto me and they did not care how I reacted, before I could go into a flashback Hope pulled me out of it. “NO, you are not going to ruin this moment, just think about Marcus and Marcus only, and then start to move your lips with his.” She told me. And I did exactly that.

I closed my mind for everything except Marcus and Hope and I started to move my lips with his. And I think I did something right, because he started to move his lips more. He placed on of his hands on my lower back and the other one on my cheek. Without breaking our kiss, and I did not complain. My legs started to feel like jelly, I felt like hours had past when I  pulled away to catch my breath. He looked at me and I am sure my cheeks were red, but for the first time I did not look away, I could not. We just kept looking into each others eyes. “I am sorry.” He told me and he let go of me and took a step back. This confused me “Why are you sorry? I liked the kiss.” I told him. “Really, you liked the kiss? You are not angry with me for kissing you without kissing you? No flashbacks? It was alright, you liked it.?!” He told and asked me. I nodded my head. “I really liked it, you do not have to apologise. I did not know what to do at first and I started to think about my past, but Hope pulled me out of it and helped me.” I said smiling at him.

He was so happy that he picked me up and started to run around in circles with me. Laughing and when he put me down he pecked my lips. He was so happy, I do not think that anything can ruin his mood. He grabbed my hand and we started to walk around in the garden. We walked around the little lake and we looked at al the flowers, there were roses, daisies (a field full of them, a lot of diverent species), lilies, sunflowers, tulips, Marigolds, orchids, geraniums, lavender, dahlias and a lot more that I did not know the name of. And the bushes were cut in diverent forms. And there where even flowers in the lake. And when we got at the back of the house I could see diverent vegetables and fruits. And even a green house, it was beautiful.

Soon it was getting late and time for lunch, we got back inside and we decided to eat lunch with the pack, his family was already sitting at the table and we started to eat lunch. I spent the rest of the day with Marcus and his family, in the evening we ate with the pack again. When it was time to go to sleep we all went to our rooms. Marcus let me chance in the bathroom and when I got out he was standing next to the bed. I walked up to him because he was at mi side of the bed. He looked at me and he drabbed his arms around me and he gave me another kiss like the one in the garden, my legs turned to jelly again. “I am going to kiss you a lot from now on, so I suggest you get used to it.” He told me after he pulled away. After our kiss we got into the bed and he hugged me from behind and soon we were both asleep.
