The Secrets Of The Divided Packs

Chapter 21

“You can trust me Karla. I am your mate. I will admit I was a bit judgemental at first. But I tried to follow you at school to find you. And pulling that fire alarm to cover your scent made me laugh. I am in it for the long haul if you would like me to. But if not then I would happily just be your friend.” I assured her.

“Well I was hurt by my uncle. He used to hit me and let his friends and strangers pay him to watch me shower. He had a live camera feed set up. They would pay to watch me sleep, shower and eat. If I said no, or refused to shower when the blue light was on, he would come in and hit me which also earned him extra money. One day I said to myself I have had enough and I grabbed some clothes and ran when he went to the shop. My uncle used to tell me how my father killed my mother and he told me my father got his karma because he ended up dead. But I came here, where no one would know where I am from. No one would know which pack I am from so that let me be more safe. I don’t like to talk because I was told if I spoke a word to anyone that I would get a broken bone for every word. In all honesty I was scared. I never thought I would find my mate here. Or even find someone I could possibly date if I was rejected. But I want to know more about you.” Karla said.

I was shocked she went through that.

“Well, I am a only child. I use to be a player before I saw you. And my best friend wants to date my mate like he dated every other girl I like or I was with. I have regrets but so does everyone else. And I personally think that you are beautiful. You do have a bit of weight. Have you shifted before?” I asked.

“No I haven’t shifted before.” Karla said.

“Oh, well that helps you. I mean, every guy in school will have a crush on you once you do because the excess weight will start burning off with each shift.” I told her.

“Is that all that matters to you?” Karla asked me.

“Is what all that matters?” I asked.

“Appearance.” Karla said.

Yes. I care about looks.

“No Karla, of course not.” I lied.

Karla looked relieved and cuddled me. God is this what a mate will be like? Constant stupid cuddles.

I cuddled back to act into it. But I thought to myself, can I keep this up?

As I sat there I felt her feel at ease.

“My parents, Alpha Lincoln and Luna Liliana, they wanted to invite you to stay in our pack.” I said softly.

Karla looked at me.

“What if we don’t work out? Won’t that make things awkward?” Karla asked.

I never said we were dating…

“No, because everyone deserves a safe bed. And if we didn’t work out, you would most likely find someone else who you could be with.” I assured her.

“Please hold me for a bit.” Karla said softly.

I obliged and just held her. I felt the sparks but I wasn’t going to change my mind. I just want s*x. Nothing more.

We ended up falling asleep again. I just laid back in her bed with her practically laying on top of me. I woke up a few hours later, Karla was not in here but I was aroused. I assumed that I made her uncomfortable and she took off. I got up to walk out but she wasn’t around at all. Not in the hallways or the bathroom.

“Hello!” I called out.

“Oh Alistair, you are awake. Your father was here earlier. He saw you asleep and asked me to send you home when your awake.” Rebecca said.

“Where is Karla?” I asked.

“Oh she came out and asked to speak to the Alpha, Karla was taken to the pack house to get some clothes and a fresh shower. Your father knows you saw her and that’s how you both healed quicker. He requests you in his office, and his exact words were asap. I would hurry Alistair. I have to call him now.” Rebecca said.
