His Lonely Mate

Resistance

I woke up to a gnawing pain in my stomach, I sat up slowly, I felt nauseous. My stomach let out a loud growl, and I held myself tightly. It felt like my insides were eating themselves, and that's when it hit me. I hadn't eaten anything all day long, my mother had taken me down to the kitchen but I never actually ate. I pulled the blankets off myself and put both my feet on the floor. As I stood a deep voice spoke from the shadows making me jump, "You are still not allowed to leave." Beau was still here? I had forgotten about him, "Beau I haven't eaten all day if I don't get something in my stomach I'm going to throw up" I wasn't lying, I could feel the bile rising in the back of my throat.

"Alphas orders" was all he said, I rolled my eyes "Alphas orders or not I need food, and I'm going downstairs" I started walking toward the bedroom door when I ran face first into what felt like a wall. I stepped back and looked up to see Beau standing in front of me. "Go back to bed" His voice was low and a little frightening, I ignored that feeling and tried to walk around him. He stepped in front of me again "Last warning" His voice was almost a growl this time. I put my hands on my hips "Beau, look I understand you have orders, but I need to eat, I haven't eaten all day and my stomach feels like its eating itself" I looked around his big body toward the door "I just want to go down really quick and get something, then I'll be right back, you can escort me even" 

When I looked up to meet his eyes, I missed that emotionless gaze he had, his face was turned up in disgust "I liked you better when you were silent" he motioned back to the bed. I didn't move, I stood my ground even thought I could feel my entire body shaking. He snarled at me and before I knew what happened I was on the ground, the side of my face was burning. I reached up and touched my cheek "Y-you slapped me." It wasn't a question, I just couldn't believe he had actually slapped me.

"Learn your place" He growled and picked me up roughly by the arm, I screamed in pain and his grip tightened. "Shut your f*****g mouth, or I'll give you something to really scream about" I stared up at him in horror. I wanted to get away from him, but I was to afraid to move, I was too afraid to breath. He threw me onto the bed like I was a rag doll. I instantly curled into a ball an started to cry, I heard his footsteps walk around my bed. He grabbed a fist full of my hair and picked me up by it making me scream out, "I said Shut your f*****g mouth" He growled louder at me as he hand made contact with my face again. 

My lips were wet, I reached up and touched them and then pulled my hand back. I was bleeding, he hit me so hard he made me bleed. I looked at him in horror, He let go of my hair and let me fall to the ground with the thud. I laid there for a moment before sitting up and leaning against my bedside table. He was standing at the foot of my bed watching me, I looked him in the eyes and spit the blood out of my mouth in his direction. 

I heard the deep growl begin to rise from within him, He took a few steps toward me. Then pain, what the hell was going on inside my head, why did I keep getting this horrible headache. I kept my eyes on him and tried to ignore the pounding in my head, if he was gonna hit me again this time I was going to fight back. I heard him snarl but before he could come any closer my bedroom door crashed open. The pounding in my head got worse, but I kept my eyes on Beau. He turned around to look at whoever had come crashing inside my door, who ever it was let out a very loud growl, and the next thing I knew Beau ran toward the door. 

I couldn't see who he was after but whoever it was they were putting up a fight, and as they slammed Beau onto the ground, I think they were winning. I tried to move to get a better view, they were all over the place, snarling and growling, arms and legs flying. Beau kicked at the man and he fell back against the door frame, and I was finally able to see his face. "Galen?" I whispered to myself but he heard me, He looked over at me and smiled. "Hush now little Luna, I've got to finish this." He launched himself at the floor where Beau was scrambling to get up, even thought Beau had Galen in size, Galen was holding his own. I heard a loud crack as something hard hit the floor on the other side of my bed, and then silence.

I held my breath and waited to see who would stand up, I saw a hand grab at the foot board of my bed. Then pull themselves up, Galen's face was a little bloody but he was smiling as he looked at me. He began walking over to me and that's when the pressure in my head began again, I grabbed my head in my hands. "Whats wrong" his voice was low I heard his footsteps coming closer. "Galen please, stop. My head, it feels like its going to explode" I floor creaked in front of me and he spoke softly "Give me your hand" I raised my head slowly and looked at him. I pulled my hand away from my head and shakily reached for him. "Now this is going to hurt, But just keep looking at me okay" His words were so soft and so gentle, but as he took my hand in his I knew why.

My head flung back as the pain felt like my skull was splitting in two, I didn't even feel his hands on my face as he pulled my head back so he could meet my eyes. "Breath, just look at me okay, Breath. It's gonna be okay" I could barely hear him over the pounding inside my head but I tried to listen, I tried to keep my eyes on him. After a few minutes the pain began to dissipate, the pounding got softer and my vision was less blurry. He smiled at me as my breathing became more normal, "Better?" He asked softly, I nodded and let out a deep breath. 

He set me up on the bathroom counter and pulled out a clear bottle and some cotton balls from under the sink. He used a wet washcloth to clean the blood off my chin and neck, he didn't say anything as he worked. I wish he would, I wish he would tell me how he knew how to make the pain stop, how he knew I was in trouble. I wish he would just say something. 

He touched my lip with the cotton ball and I jumped back at the pain, "That hurt" I said covering my mouth. He smiled softly, "It's alcohol, I have to clean the wound, I don't know where his hands have been" He spoke the last bit with a growl. I took my hand away from my mouth "Just be gentle okay, It's really tender." He held my face in his hand and slowly began to dab at my lip again. Beau had split both my top and bottom lip open when he slapped me. It wasn't all that painful but it had bled quite a bit.

When Galen had finished cleaning me up he lifted up off the counter and turned on the sink, "What are you doing?" I asked as I watched him lean in close to the faucet. "I'm going to clean all this blood off my face" He said. I reached under his arms and turned off the water "Let me, you cleaned me up. Let me return the favor" I pulled myself back up onto the counter and grabbed the washcloth he has used to clean me up, I turned on the faucet and got it wet then turned back to face him. "Well come here" I said motioning for him to come closer.

I opened my legs slightly and he stepped between them, He looked down at me as I reached up with the cloth. His eyebrow was split open and he had busted his nose, I raised my hand to begin with his eyebrow. He didn't even flinch as I touched him, I tried to work quickly because the way he was looking at me was making me blush. He had placed his hands on either side of my thighs, and as I worked they got closer and closer until his hands were resting on top of my thighs. I turned to rinse out the washcloth before starting on his nose, I felt his lips brush against my neck and he squeezed my thighs. 

My breath caught in my throat, he slowly moved his lips up my neck until he reached my ear, he squeeze my thighs again and pulled me into him. I sucked in a breath and slowly turned to face him, his eyes were a deep green. "I can't control myself when I'm this close to you" He said in a husky voice. I took a slow quivering breath, "I- I'm almost done" I reached up toward his face, he caught my hand and placed it on his shoulder. He then leaned down and lifted me off the counter wrapping my legs around his waist. 

He held me like that for a few minutes, his lips just inches from mine, both of us breathing heavily. He then let my legs go slowly and lowered me to the ground, he then reached up and unhooked my arms from around his neck. He turned to the sink and wet his hand and quickly wiped the remaining blood off his face, then turned off the faucet.

"Food" he said turning back toward me, "You need to eat" He took my hand in his and walked me out of the bathroom, down the stairs and into the kitchen. He sat me at a bar stool and then walked around to the fridge. Before he opened it he turned and looked at me "Is a sandwich okay?" I smiled and nodded, a sandwich sounded amazing.

He pushed a plate toward me before cleaning up the mess he had made, I looked down at the monster sandwich sitting in front of me. It looked amazing, it smelled amazing, but I didn't think I could it in my mouth. I smiled up at him as he closed the fridge, "Well go on, try it" He said coming to sit in the stool next to me. I smiled and pick the monster sandwich up, I looked at him again and opened my mouth as wide as I could and took a bite. It barely fit in my mouth, but just that small bite and I was in heaven. 

I finished the sandwich quickly and my tummy was nice and full now. He stood up and put the plate in the sink and then took my hand and lead me down the hallway to the back door, I raised my eyebrow and asked "Where are we going?" He turned around looked down at my feet, "I'm going to have to carry you the rest of the way" he opened the door and walked me onto the steps and then closed the door behind us. He then picked me up and stared walking down a dirt path into the wood. "Galen, where are you taking me?" I asked again. 

He laughed softly, "Well I didn't think you wanted to go back up to your room with the unconscious Giant on your floor, so I figured I would take you to my place so you could sleep." I Looked up at him and then down the path he was walking. "You live out here?" I asked softly as we walked further into the woods. "Only the Alpha, his family and the Bata live in the main house, Everyone else lives in houses behind the main house. I've been in my own place for about 6 years now." 

It took a little while for us to get to his house, he set me down on the steps and unlocked and opened the door. He held it open as I walked inside, "I'm sorry its a little messy, I wasn't expecting company" I took a few steps inside. It was a small space, there was a small mini fridge, a little table with a single chair, the tv was mounted to the wall, beside the bed was a stack of books and the bed itself took up most of the room. He closed the door and then started rushing around picking up clothes that were sprawled on the floor and trash that had been left out. "You don't have to clean for me" I laughed, he threw the clothes he had in his hand in an overflowing basket of clothes. "Make your self at home" He said with a nervous smile.
