Captured Fate

Chapter 3

    I don't know who this man was in front of me, but he called me his mate. I don't even know what that means, Leigha is going crazy doing what feels like circles in my head and repeating what the man said.

mate

    That was all she said, I don't know what to think or feel, something tells me I can trust the guy sitting in front of me but I don't know if this is a trap. He had asked me what my name is and I just told him my first name, I wasn't sure if I could trust him or the people he was with. "Amara, I'm going to ask you a few questions okay?" the man in front of me said, he started to reach for me and I started to shake not sure what he was going to do to me. When he saw me start to shake he stopped and pulled away. I looked up at him slowly, I wasn't going to lie to myself, he was hot. He was really tall, with a nice tan to his skin, he was wearing jeans and a white shirt, his muscles were huge and I gulped and I was taking what he looked like into memory, he had nice full peachy lips, deep green eyes, and short dark brown hair, short yet long enough to run your fingers through it. I focused on his eyes, nodding while saying, "I'll answer any questions you have for me, sir." He let out a sigh of breath I didn't even know he was holding. 

    "First of all where did you come from?" he looked at me sternly but curiously. "I have no idea, we were in a trailer for a long time. I have no idea where it was that I was staying at before then." I wasn't lying, I had no clue where it was that the guards kept me. "We?", "Yeah, me and the guard I convinced not to chain me up. I don't know his name, I don't know any of their names. All I know is that they were transporting me somewhere special." I looked down and pointed out my dress. His eyes turned black again, like how the guards did when I did something wrong. I tensed up but stopped myself from shaking, which always made the guards get madder whenever I would cower from them. 

    He looked at me up and down, "Why were you running on our territory?", "I had no idea I was intruding, this is going to sound insane but this voice came in my head when we were driving, she told me to run and to keep running, so that's what I did." He started to laugh and shake his head, I looked at him confused, he put his hand up, "I think you just turned eighteen and got your wolf." I was shocked that he knew it was my birthday, "I'm not going crazy? I can turn into a wolf, like-" I gulped shuddering at the thought of the men who would beat me and what they looked like in wolf form. 

I told you

Leigha? Are you done running what felt like circles in my head?

For now, yes. This is a serious moment, even though our mate is right there and his scent is driving me wild, we need to focus.

    She was right, his scent was so enticing he smelled like a fresh forest, it was almost too much to handle. "What is a mate You called me your mate when you saw me and Leigha is saying you are our mate. I have no clue what a mate is." "Leigha is your wolf I take it. Amara, a mate is when the moon goddess pairs two souls to come together to love and care and protect each other." He started to explain more and continue his questions

***************

    After he was done with the questions he needed he told me to call him Brian, he then turned to the people standing next to him, whom I've learned to be Gamma Natalie, Gamma Derek, and Beta Dominik. Natalie was gorgeous, she had caramel skin, piercing hazel eyes, loose curly black hair that came down to her shoulders, she was taller than me and had very toned smooth long legs. Derek was her mate, he was tall like Brian but maybe an inch shorter, he also had tan skin and short hair like Brian but Derek's hair was black and he also had chocolate brown eyes, he was an eyeful but not like Brian. Dominik was shorter than both Brian and Derek but was taller than Natalie and me, he had short blonde, curly hair, he also had tan skin and his eyes were a light brown, these people were blessed with looks from the moon goddess? I think that's what the goddess of all werewolves is called if I'm recalling it correctly. 

    Brian and his pack members agreed to tell the Elders and the Council about me, They are like the big, bad bosses of the supernatural or at least werewolves, from what I am getting. Brian thought that I should be able to be welcomed to leave the cellar dungeon thingy I was in. He reached out his hand and I reluctantly took it, when our skin met I felt tingles shoot through my body and I had felt a wetness form in my underwear. I had no clue what was happening but he looked at me with lusty black eyes, I wasn't scared but my stomach grumbled, I remembered I had a sandwich between my underwear on my side, I went to go feel if it was still there and realized it was not, it must have fallen when I was running. "Will I be allowed food today?" I asked not knowing when I would eat next. 

    They all turned and laughed at me, "What? Why would you not be able to eat?" they asked me while laughing. "I was not always given food where I came from, most of the time it was one sandwich and some toast a day, some days I was not allowed food." They looked at me with their mouths hanging wide open. Brian looked pissed and the rest all looked disgusted by how I was treated. I decided that I didn't want to share any more information right now so I just looked where we were going. We made it to some stairs and started to climb, We reached a pair of doors and more stairs, my guess is for security. When we made it to the doors at the very top, I squinted my eyes as the sunlight beat down on my face. 

    Once my eyes were adjusted to the light I took in a deep breath and looked around. We were next to a giant building made of a nice gray bricked stone. I couldn't see much of it but it looked very tall. to my left, I saw beautiful trees in a forest that seemed to wrap around for ages. I could see little houses scattered throughout and I just smiled, I've always wanted a home, a real home. Maybe I could find that here with Brian as my mate. We walked for about twenty minutes before we reached the front of the building, they called it their packhouse. It was stunning, the large front doors were made of a deep reddish-brown wood, the glass windows were large and all over the outside, I could see a few balconies hanging off the side. I was in complete awe of this place, it reminded me of what a castle from a children's book would look like.

    Brian led me inside and to my left, I could smell something that was making my mouth water, it looked like there was a giant kitchen with a bunch of people running around cooking something. "Our Omegas and Mr. and Mrs. Jones are making lunch, lets get you settled before we eat," Brian said to me, seeing that I was drooling from whatever that delicious smell is. I nodded my head as I was longing for food, Brian looked at the Beta and Gammas and let them do their own thing. He led me up four flights of stairs and said, "This is the fifth floor, your room will be here across the hall from mine unless you wish to share a room in the future." I nodded as he took me down a long, very wide hallway. We stopped in front of two doors, he opened the door on the right side of the hall. "This will be your room for now, do you need any help settling in?" my jaw dropped as I walked in, it was huge. 

    In the middle of the room was a large bed, with a fluffy orange comforter, large fluffy pillows with gray pillowcases, the floor was a nice beige carpet, the walls reminded me of the sunset with paintings of mountains all over the room. There was a large wooden dresser, made with some type of light-colored wood. There was this large screen that I believe is a television opposite the bed. There were two sets of white-painted wooden doors. I opened the set on the right and stepped into a large room for, storage? "This is a closet, it is where you will put all the clothes that you get that you do not want in the dresser." I looked at him surprised, I get to keep my own clothes? Maybe this would work out well for me. I smiled, and I opened up the doors on the left. It was a giant bathroom, a large black stone sink with plenty of counter space, with a mirror to cover the adjacent wall, a nice porcelain toilet with a fuzzy gray cover on it there was both a shower and a bathtub in this bathroom. The shower tiles were gray and white small checkered squares, the bathroom floor itself was a gray marble with little white fuzzy rugs laid out here and there.

    "I would love to take a shower on my own, but I do not have anything to wear." "No worries, I will have an omega bring you some clothes and a towel for now." He smiled at me, then his eyes clouded over for a moment. As we waited he showed me how to use both the shower and the bathtub when there was a knock at the door an omega walked in with a basket of folded clothes and a very soft white towel, I thanked her and she bowed towards Brian and took her leave. "Thank you for helping me, Brian." He smiled at me and bowed out of the room leaving me to myself. 

    I decided on taking a bath to help relax me, I filled it with hot water and put some bubbles in, the bathroom was fully stocked with everything I would need. When the smell of 'Shea Butter and Coconut' filled the bathroom I turned off the water. I slid my dress, socks, and underwear off and put my feet in the tub, the water felt so nice and I slowly lowered myself into the rest of the tub. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath, the water burned but in a good way. This felt like heaven and I didn't want to get out.. ever. When I opened my eyes I noticed there was a loofah for me, I grabbed it and get it nice and soaked, I then grabbed the same body soap I used for bubbles and poured some out, I started to scrub my body wincing now and then when my scars would be scratched. 

I think this will be good for us

I think so too Leigha, thank you for being here with me now

But of course, we are now one, and I know what you know and see and hear what you do.

    This made me smile, knowing that I will never be alone again brought me comfort and peace. I sat there and soaked for a few more minutes before lathering my hair with shampoo and washing it. By the time I was done with my bath the mirrors were fogged up so I wrapped myself in the towel and sat down on my new bed. The bed was so comfortable that when I sat down I ended up laying down before deciding what to do next.
