The Lost Mate

Chapter 3: New Beginning

-Iris's Point Of View-

I woke up to my body being sore, I saw that I was in a hospital nightgown and I had fresh new bandages. Slowly sitting up on the giant bed, I was in alone. Looking over at the couch I could hear snoring. My wolf got excited my heart starts to beat a little faster. I slowly got out of the bed which was hard since the mattress was memory foam and I sunk into the middle. I tiptoe to the couch to see a handsome man that was shirtless and only wearing sweat pants. My face starts to feel hot and red. I look at his toned six-pack and saw that his body was covered in tattoos, there was one on his left peck and his left arm has a whole sleeve while his right arm was covered from the wrist to his elbow. A few tattoos on his rib cage. Man, he is so good-looking I can't take my eyes off him. Once my eyes made it to his face I saw that his glowing blue eyes were staring into mine as he smirks, I squeak and stumble back to be surprised by his speed to catch me and hold me in bridal-style, I blush brightly. I could feel him chuckle as he slowly sets me down and kisses the top of my head making the blush go worse. 

-Soul's Point Of View- 

She is so cute, I can't hold back longer but I must. Seeing her look at my fine-toned body and blush once we made eye contact had my wolf howling. Looking at her now is so cute, except I want her out of that hospital gown. 

"Did you sleep alright Iris?" I ask. 

-Iris's Point Of View-

I was blushing too hard to answer him. My heart racing and my palms getting all sweaty as my wolf howls wanting him, but I don't know if I am ready. I look up at him blushing even harder if that is even possible and nod. "This was the first time I ever slept in a bed before." That statement did not make him happy his smiling face went into a low growl as he pulls me close to him. He is like 6 feet and 4 inches while I am 5 feet flat but that didn't stop him. My breathing starts to get a little unsteady as he places his hands on my hips his grip a little tight but not enough to hurt me. "Whatever your family did to you, you can forget it. You are mine now and I will protect you." His words surprised me as he said I was his. So what I am feeling he is feeling as well. We are meant to be together. I slowly look up at him as he puts his hand on my cheek. Soft tears run down my cheeks and onto his hand that he had on my cheek. Slowly bending down I could see his soft lips coming closer to mine. I don't know if I am ready for this. I know that my wolf wants it more she won't stop howling for him. Slowly closing his eyes I do the same softly feeling his lips brush against mine until there was a knock on the door. I could hear him growl as he stood up and looks at the door. "What is it?" He demand, a small little maid came in with a cart of food and clothes, my stomach growls. Soul looks at me chuckling, nods to the maid to come in. I was starving. I scarf down that food like it is my first meal. Soul looks at me chuckling, causing a blush to appear on my cheeks. I could tell he was studying me. "So what did your family have you do?" I look at him and made sure to swallow my food before answering. "I was a maid and a punching dummy," I look down at my half-eaten pancake which was the tenth one. I could hear him growl. "I have a question" I look at him while he was surprised, "I want to train, to be able to defend myself," I could tell he was not happy to hear that. After a few seconds of silence, he sighs. "What kind of training are you wanting?" I look at him, now surprised he even said those words. "Well I want to be a warrior, I know this is my second day in the pack but... I want it to be different. I don't want to be controlled and locked up... I want to fight and defend myself... that freedom I could never have..." I look at my hands trying to not cry.

-Soul's Point Of View-

I can't believe she is asking to be a warrior. She is my future Luna, I don't want her fighting. But when I heard her story that she wants freedom and that she wants to defend herself. How could I tell her no? Maybe just for a little bit, I will give her her freedom, before she becomes Luna and has my children and help run the pack. Sighing one last time, "I will give you 3 months of training, then you will become my Luna and bear my children and help take care of the pack."

-Iris's Point Of View-

I was shocked, for one that he said I could, but for only 3 months until I am his Luna and bear his children?! So I only have 3 months of freedom until I become trap again... Well I'm going to change that just only need 3 months to make a plan. I sigh acting as if I am defeated and nod. "Fine 3 months and I want to start now," hearing Soul growl I know I'm pushing his limits but I have to. I want my freedom. Hearing him stop growling I look up to see him nod as he pulls out a box and gave it to me. Looking confused I took the box and saw that when I open it there was a brand new iPhone in it. Then he hands me a bag. Inside that bag were a couple of phone cases, headphones and paper with my sister's Venus and Mercury's phone number. I smile softly looking at him. He got out his phone and calls someone. While I start setting up my phone I saw that he already put his number as well as James. I put in my sister's phone number and pick the case that has two wolves in the moonlight howling together. I stand up to go to the bathroom closing the door to do my business and to change my bandages. Then there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I listen for who it was, "I have your training uniform Iris" said Soul, wow that was fast. I open the door a little as I was in a towel, I could see him starring at me. He forces the door open walking in as his eyes start to go dark, my back up against the counter. He places down the outfit on the counter and puts his hands on my hips. Watching him lean in and feel his breath on my neck, I blush harder my wolf howling wanting him but I don't know if I am ready, I want my freedom. My breathing starts to become uneasy as my heart starts to race, he would start to kiss my neck. I gasp softly and when I did his hands grip a little tighter on my hips as he pulls me closer to him as he kisses me all over my neck but avoids my mating mark spot. He growls kissing my neck rougher and nips at my neck more and more. He growls and grinds into me as I groan softly biting my lip my hands gripping the counter. I want him to stop but my wolf howls and growls at me to let him continue, but I couldn't I was falling too deep. I snap out of this arousing trance and push him away. He looks at me stunned his eyes going back to normal as we were both breathing heavily. I growl softly holding my towel, not realizing he was slowly pulling it off. He looks at me growling as well then turns walking away slamming the bathroom door shut. Leaving me there all alone. Snapping myself together I get dressed.

-Soul's Point of View-

I can't believe I just did that to her. My stupid wolf took over and had me take her, well almost. But man she was hot. I look down at my bulge and groan looking at the closed bathroom door my wolf whimpers, shaking him off I go to the bathroom to take care of business. I hear her get out of the bathroom slowly peaking out she was wearing the camo green tank top that clings to her beautiful sexy hourglass figure and I could tell that her cleavage was showing a lot since she has a nice double D rack. The camouflage pants cling to her in a nice baggie way I watch her put on her combat boots my wolf howling and I could tell I was getting harder the more I look at her. I close the door and sent my Beta James a text to come get her and take her to train while I was dealing with certain situations. 

-Iris's Point Of View-

I am not used to wearing clothes that are so tight and not baggie. I feel embarrassed with my boobs showing. God, when did they get so big? I look up hearing a knock after finishing putting on my combat boots, opening the door is see the Beta James. "Hello Iris, Soul told me to come to get you and take you to train." I raise an eyebrow, "He's not going to take me himself?" I question myself but then I shook my head I didn't want to see him anyways not after what he pulled in the bathroom a moment ago. I grab my phone and close the door behind me before I let James answer me then I follow him to the training quarters as I saw many wolves out training with one another. The males didn't wear shirts while only a few females that were there wore the same tank tops as I did but they didn't have their boobs out like mine. I try fixing my tank feeling embarrassed that I have such a large cleavage showing. James brings me to a male that looks a little older than me. He was shirtless with pale skin and nice toned muscles, he is not as toned as Soul but still good-looking. He has silver hair and a scar across his lip. His purple eyes match mine and my heart stops. I felt something that I felt with Soul but how could that be. He takes out his hand as I shake his hand in return. There was no spark luckily. I defiantly feel sparks with Soul, but why is my heart acting so weird.

"Hi my name is Damien," he smiles at me snapping me out of my thoughts. "Oh my name is Iris," he continues to smile not letting go of my hand until James would cough signaling to have Damien let go of it. "Damien will be the your trainer partner today." James glares at Damien as if telling him to watch himself which I don't know why. I haven't been marked yet.

-Third Person Point Of View-

The training was an hour in as Iris and Damien sprawl, their claws and fangs out as he tares her shirt a little and she scratches him. Iris got a few good punches in him and he has a hard time trying to land some on her. James watches from a distance as he was doing paperwork on materials they need and other inventory. His mind links with Soul.

"Soul where are you, it's not like you missing out on training. The pack is waiting for you to lead the next lesson." 

Soul sighs as he was finally taken care of himself since he knew he can't go to Seriena nor does he want to anymore. He gets dressed and mind links with James. 

"I am coming now. Iris gave me some trouble this morning... If you know what I mean." James would chuckle hearing his Alpha having problems with his mate and the future Luna.

"Okay but don't rip any throats when you get here okay."

Soul was confused by what James had said. Soul would jog to the training quarters seeing the field full of his warrior's training then when he sniffs the air he looks and saw his mate brawling the bachelor of the pack Damien. He starts to growl seeing the condition Iris was in. Rushing over with his super-speed he picks up Damien off of Iris who was being pinned to the ground and slamming him against the stone wall growling. "Mine," he barks at Damien who chuckles and whispers, "not for long, her and I have a connection, yet no spark, but doesn't mean I can't mark her" that piss Soul off, several wolves had to pry Soul off of Damien as Iris ran to Damien to see if he was okay since he fell to the floor coughing. Soul's heart broke and his wolf howls in pain seeing his mate run to another male. James helps Soul up and glances over at Iris as she came running over to Soul from Damien. Soul grabs Iris possessively growling at Damien. "Mine!" Iris blushes hearing Soul say that he throws her over his shoulders and storm off telling James that everyone has an hour break to bandage up before he leads next training practice. Iris thrashes around wanting him to let go of her. He got to their room closing the door and locking it her throws Iris on the bed she blushes and breathing heavily watching Soul as he kicks off his boots and slowly starts to crawl over Iris his eyes going dark. "I don't want anyone touching you and if I have to go by force to keep you then I will." He growls, Iris's eyes widen as she then tries to get away but Soul pins her down and starts kissing and biting her neck except for the mating mark spot. Iris groans softly not knowing what to do if she should just let him take her, but this is her first time and she wants her first time special. She starts to cry and scream trying to kick him but he has her pinned down. He stops for a moment.

-Soul's Point Of View-

What was I doing to her. I look down as I got control of myself. My wolf took control when he saw Iris with Damien. Damien is a player he has a way of taking other male's mates. I don't know what it is but he can have his way with them and not have a spark, messing up all the mates. I was not going to have him take Iris from me but... I don't want to force myself on her. I could tell this is her first time. Even if I don't take her fully and just mark her with the bite that is still going by force. I calm myself down before I got off her legs and slightly loosen my grip on her wrists. I look at the tears in her eyes and streaming down her face my wolf whimpers. I don't want to make my mate cry that is the last thing I want. I look into her eyes. Her left eye was blue and her right eye was purple. Her left eye was still healing from a bruise around it, but it makes me sad. I look at her scars and freshly wounded arms. I know that training can get you hurt but usually when you are in your wolf form you heal fast. I wonder how long it has been since she has been in her wolf form. I look at her chest. Oh god. she has a beautiful rack but there was even scars there. I could tell they weren't from Damien but her shirt is torn around her stomach and torso. I adjust myself to hold both her wrists in one hand as I slowly lifted her shirt up past her belly button I could tell she is scared I could feel her body shaking. But then I can now see horrific scars. How long has it been since she was in her wolf form...  This is really starting to worry me. I look into her eyes as tears start to form in mine.

"How long..." She looks at me confused. "How long has it been since you were in your wolf form to heal these scars..." More tears fell from her cheeks, I get off her, letting go of her wrists, and hold her. "What did they do to you..." Her body shakes in my arms as I put her cheeks in my hands looking into her beautiful blue and purple eyes.

"I haven't been in my wolf form since I shifted... even then I only was in my wolf form for an hour before I was beaten to turn back.." Her voice was shaky and anger broke out in me and my wolf. For so many years she has not been in her wolf form... I stand up, picking her up, and carry her outside in the open fields but no one was around I set her down on her feet. "I want you to shift" She would look at me in surprise and I could tell she is worried and scared. "I promise no one will hurt you." I could tell she is nervous and hesitant. Then I watch her as she slowly turns into a wolf, her bones sound like they are breaking, once she fully turns she lays in the snow whimpering. She was in pain because she hasn't been able to be a wolf since she shifted and even then she didn't have enough time.

I shift into my wolf form. I was a black wolf with blue eyes. While her wolf was beautiful it was silver with her two different colored eyes. She was beautiful and bigger than other females which is weird cause if she was an Omega she should be the runt. I nuzzle her cheek seeing if she is okay. My wolf wants to mount her so badly but I told him that isn't a good idea since she is in so much pain. She lifts up her head and looks at me. I nudge her head again as she slowly stands up. My tail wagging as she starts to take steps. Then next thing I know she takes off running into the forest and I follow after her. 

-Iris's Point Of View-

Oh. My. God! It freaking hurts turning back into a wolf. I don't even know how many years it's been. But it does feel nice after running around the forest for a few hours as Soul chases me. I could tell now that he wants to mount me. It's funny how I kept leading him on, but I am not ready just yet to give up my freedom that I just got. Man I don't know how long we have been running around but it's starting to get dark. I could tell that we miss some training but that doesn't bother me since I can finally be a wolf right now. I run in the snow as he chases after me. He takes the lead and signals me that it's time to go eat. So we head back to the mansion. We go through the front doors and to our room. He shifts first and if wolves could blush I am blushing bright red forgetting that when you shift that you lose your clothes. Soul looks at me chuckling as he uses his super-speed to run to the second bathroom and comes back dressed in only his sweatpants. Why do males like only wearing sweatpants I mean I'm not complaining but it's a good question? I go into the big bathroom and shift back. I look in the mirror seeing my naked body and already my scars were slowly healing. Finally, I can get rid of these ugly scars. I change into some shorts and a t-shirt as I went into the bedroom finding Soul laying in bed. And I stand there not knowing what to do. Soul looks at me smirking and grabs my waist and as he throws me on top of him. Blushing deeply I could tell he had a bulge. Why does he always have this? Can he not control himself? I look at him as he smirks at me and rubs his hands on my hips then softly kisses my neck and let me go. He really is not going to force himself on me? My wolf whines wanting him but I'm still not ready even though my heart is starting to race. I quickly get off his lap as a maid comes in giving us food and left with our empty plates. Soul was fast asleep next to me. This will be the first time I share a bed with another male. Man, my new life is getting interesting.
