Captured Fate

Chapter 5

[Unknown pov]

    "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST HER?!" I snapped at Kaden's head. He is lucky he is my nephew or I would kill him like the lazy mutt he is. "She escaped when we were transporting her to you, sir." I pinched the bridge of my nose and looked between Kaden and the guard that was with him, I didn't even care to know his name. "And how exactly did she escape when she was chained?" I snarled at them. "Well she wasn't actually chained sir, she-" "SHE WHAT?!" "She started crying and asked me not to chain her, I didn't think she woul-" Before the guard could even finish his sentence I ripped his throat out, you could hear the gargling and splurting of the blood. I turned towards Kaden, did you at least chase after her? "Yes sir but she..." "SPIT IT OUT!" "Sir, she ran onto the Silver Mountain Pack territory. The last we had seen of her they pounced and dragged her off." "DAMMITT!" I punched through the wall beyond pissed off that my precious white wolf is gone. "Find a way to bring her back, she WILL be mine!"

[Amara's pov]

    It's been a few days since I escaped, the Silver Mountain pack has been treating me really well, Natalie, Skyler, and I went shopping yesterday with Brian's credit card. I now have a lot of my own new clothes and I have been thinking a lot about this mate bond thing. Brian has been giving me all the space that I could ask for but is also trying to comfort me. I know that he wants the mate thing to work but I'm not sure I'm ready for him to see all my scars.

Why are you hiding it?

It makes me ugly Leigha that's why. 

Are you calling us ugly? I thought we were survivors

No, I'm not calling you ugly Leigha why would you think that?

Well, we share this body, what's yours is mine. So by calling yourself ugly, you are calling me ugly, we haven't even seen what my body looks like yet and you are already calling me ugly.

    I could hear Leigha snort at me and then she put up a block, I didn't even know we could do that. I let out a sigh and walked towards Brian's office. I stopped when I noticed the door was cracked ajar, I saw a female in there with him touching his arm and flirting with him. I let out a low growl as I felt my blood start to boil, I wanted him as my mate. As I started to growl and watched as Brian shoved her off of him and yelled at her, "STAY THE f**k OFF ME, WE WILL NEVER BE A COUPLE AND I ALREADY FOUND MY MATE!" She let out a surprised gasp and stormed out, stopping when she noticed me growling, staring her down, it was Amber. I had to admit hearing Brian say that made me really happy, and I knew I had to let him know I would accept him and I knew he would have to see all my scars. 

    I shoulder-checked her as I made my way into his office, "Hey Ama-" I cut him off as I pressed my lips against his. He put his hands on my waist and pulled away. "What was that for?" he asked me, smiling, and started to turn light pink. "What's your full name?" Brian looked at me questionably, "Brian Angelo Roosa, why?" I just smiled took a deep breath and said, "I, Amara Lea Foster accept you, Brian Angelo Roosa, as my mate." I didn't get the reaction I expected, his face turned extremely pale and his eyes clouded over, the next thing I knew his parents, Dominik, Derek, Natalie, and Sky came rushing in. "What the hell is so urgent?" everybody asked in unison. I just looked confused and I looked at Brian. 

    "She accepted me.." Brian said and everyone started cheering, he put his hand up to stop them. "Her last name is Foster." Everyone went silent, "Um hello? Is there something wrong with my last name?" I felt hurt, was he going to reject me because of my name? Maggie looked at me with such sorrow and I had no clue why, "Honey, there was a pack of wolves just over a decade ago and the alpha and luna, Mr. and Mrs. Foster died in a car crash, they had a daughter but nobody knew where she was, her body was never found." My mind started to run wild, "Are you saying I belong to this other pack? That I have family somewhere?" Brian looked at me, "We are not positive, only when you shift we will know for sure, Amara there is something else you should know... After the alpha and Luna died, the rest of the pack was slaughtered by a coven of witches for their blood." Hearing this made my stomach do a backflip, I ran to the trashcan by the door and threw up what was my breakfast. "Why would they do such a thing?" I asked while wiping my mouth with a kleenex. "The pack was valuable by blood because they were of royal blood, the alpha, Jacob, and the luna, Lisa, were direct descendants of the moon goddess herself, and pureblooded alphas. Their daughter, if it's you or someone else, would have been worth a lot of money and power once they or you got their wolf because they would be the closest living being to the moon goddess herself." This was a lot to take in.

Leigha?

I don't know if we are the daughter he speaks of, I will not know until I shift. 

When can we shift Leigha? I have to know who I am, who we are.

The next full moon is Sunday, August twenty-second. That is when we will shift.

That's like in a week!

    "I still have not shifted, Leigha says she won't know until we shift next Sunday" I looked around Brian's office and everyone nodded. "Brian..." I looked at Brian still not knowing what he would do about the mate thing. "Are you going to reject me?"He started to chuckle and gave me a hug, "Oh my goddess, baby no I'm sorry I was so preoccupied with the whole possibility of you being from White Wolf pack, I Brian Angelo Roosa accept you, Amara Lea Foster as my mate." I felt a wave of calmness and joy ripple through my veins as I kissed Brian smiling. "Okay, guys everybody out." Brian looked at everybody shooing them out of the office. 

    Once we were alone he grabbed my waist and pulled me in for a kiss, he grabbed my thighs and lifted me into the air wrapping my legs around his waist. "Brian, wait." I put my hand on his chest to slow him down. "There is something I have to tell you, but can we do this in my room please." I knew it was time I showed and told him about my most shameful scar that wraps around my body. He walked to my room refusing to put me down until we got to my bed. "What is it that you have to tell me, baby," he asked while giving me kisses all over my face. "Well it's more of a show than tell, but I think you have a right to know." I sighed as I lifted my hoodie over my head and pulled my jeans down. I looked at him, his eyes were tracing my scar as he looked at the way it wrapped around my body. "What happened?" He asked in a voice that I couldn't tell if he was hurt or if his blood was boiling. 

[Brian's pov]

    As my mate was telling me what had happened to her she broke down in tears, I pulled her into a tight hug and laid with her in my arms in her bed. She ended up falling asleep in my arms and I didn't want to wake her. I decided it would be a good time to talk to Chaos about what our mate told us. 

We need to find out who did this to her

So I can kill them, right?

You're not going to kill them before I do

Do you wanna make that a bet?

Well, not really but I would like to rip the hearts out of whoever did this to our mate. This is wrong, it's not right. We need to let the council know.

If we tell the council we might not get to kill them

Yes okay, that's true but we need to do this legally otherwise we would get the pack in trouble. Yes I know we've slaughtered other alphas but those were legal, and our packs came together. We have no idea who these people are let alone their end goal.

    Chaos just growled at me and didn't say anything back. Amara started to move in my arms and she started to sweat and whine. That's when I realized she was having a nightmare, I tried to wake her up gently but nothing was working so I started to shake her, slow and gentle at first and progressively getting faster and harder. She jolted up and punched me in my throat as a reflex. "Oh my goddess I am so sorry, I forgot where I was. I didn't mean to hit you." I put my hand up trying to catch my breath and just laughing with every breath of air I took in. "It's.... fine" She started to laugh with me as she rubbed her hand on my back trying to calm me down so I could breathe. "You have one hell of a right hand hit." I looked at her after finally being able to breathe. My baby is a fighter and I couldn't be more proud to have her as my own.

    I hugged her again and took her scent in, she was still in her underwear and bra and every time our skin touched waves of sparks flooded through my body. Her scent and touch were driving me wild and I wanted her now, but she has been through a lot so I want it to be special for her. Not just special, but perfect just like her. 

What is she doing to us, we never used to care like this 

    I blocked Chaos out not caring about anything else at this moment besides Amara, we laid back down as I ran my finger down her scar kissing it, "You're perfect." I smiled at her and she started to blush, covering her face with her hands, "Hey now, let me see those beautiful stormy eyes." I gently grabbed her hands and pulled them off her face, I kissed her nose softly making her giggle. Goddess, I loved her laugh, "Are you ticklish?" I asked her looking in her eyes with a devious smile. "Am I what?" This made my grin get bigger, I started tickling her sides and she let out such a loud, unexpecting laugh. I only wanted to see smiles and laughs come from her in these moments so I sat on top of her tickling both of her sides making her laugh so hard she started to cry. 

    What I wasn't expecting was her to start tickling my sides, I never knew I was ticklish until now. I started to collapse in laughter and she rolled us over and was now in control of tickling me. I had to admit I liked seeing her on top of me like this but I already made up my mind to take this slowly. We ended up going back and forth for about an hour until we were both out of breath, we laid side by side on her bed while catching our breaths. There was a loud knock on the door and we both sat up. "The Council is here," Dominik said from the other side of the door. Amara and I looked at each other, "It's going to be okay." I whispered in her ear as I kissed her forehead.
