The Alpha's Abused Mate

Chapter 3

Lucas

As they pulled onto the pack lands, the guards at the gate greeted them.

“Welcome back Alpha. Your mother is waiting for you.”

“Thank you Max.”

As Lucas drove through the pack he watched Emma through rear view mirror. “So what do you think?” Lucas asked Emma.

“It’s so beautiful here.”

“Glad you think so.” Said Wolf.

When they reached the pack house Lucas saw his mother standing in the front porch waiting for them. Before he even parked the car she was walking towards them.

“So, did you go and get the girl?” Luna Claire asked.

“Yes Mother, she is here with us.” Said Lucas helping Emma out of the car. “Emma this is my mother Claire, mom this is Emma.”

“Oh my, you are very beautiful. You look very familiar though. Have we met before?” Luna Claire asked

“Umm, I don’t think so ma’am.” Emma replied. “Not unless you came to the cafe I work at.”

Luna Claire gasped, “Could you be Rachel and Mike Thatcher’s daughter?”

“How do you know my parents names?” Emma asked.

“Why don’t you guys come in. We have a lot to talk about dear.” Luna Claire replied.

When Emma walked in to the house she was mesmerized, it was beautiful. There was a beautiful chandelier hanging in the living room, the furniture looked like antiques. While she was looking around, Luna Claire led her to the coach.

As they sat down she said. “The reason why I knew your parents is because they were my husband and I’s best friends. They were the Alpha and Luna of the Silver Moon pack. About 21 years ago there was an attack on their pack Rachel died during that attack and Mike disappeared with there new born daughter. We thought they had been killed to.”

Emma just sat there processing what she had said. “If that’s true, and both my parents were werewolves, then how come I am not?”

“Sweet heart you are. I can sense your wolf, but something is keeping her from being able to come out. I think your father might have had a witch put a spell on you to bind your wolf. When the time is right she will be able to break the binding and you will be able to shift.” Luna Claire explained.

“Is there a way to undo the spell?” Emma asked

“Yes, we need to find the witch who put the spell on you.” Luna Claire answered. She turned to look at Lucas, “Jess can help us.”

Lucas got up and walked out the living room. A few minutes he came back with Jess. The moment Jess saw Emma she gasped and rushed to her. Placing her hands on her head she began to chant. After she was finished, Lucas could tell she was very uncomfortable. Before he could do anything to help her, Emma began to scream.

Emma

When Jess had finished chanting her head began to pound. All of a sudden pain shot through her entire body. She tried to fight the pain and not scream, then all the bones in her body began to break. She let out an agonized cry. She was shifting.

Lucas was by her side lifting her off the coach and racing outside. He gently set her down in the middle of the yard, he held her close whispering sweet words in her ear.

“Don’t fight it Emma, this is your first shift. The pain will go away, the next time you shift it won’t hurt.”

Emma listened to Lucas and excepted the pain, she stopped fighting. She could feel her bones start to rearrange, she could feel fur growing all over her body. It took about 30 minutes but when she had finally finished shifting she felt so free.

“Hello.” A voice came from inside her head. “I am your wolf Aria.”

Emma was amazed she had no idea that she would actually have a wolf inside her head.

“I am Emma, it’s nice to meet you.”

“I am sorry I wasn’t there for you when the man assaulted you. I have been trying to come out since your turned 18.”

Emma gasped, the moment she did she smelled the most wonderful sent. It was the smell of forest and rain. Emma looked up to see Lucas smile down at her. The moment their eyes met, Emma heard Aria yell “Mate!”

“ Aria, how do I shift back?”

“Just imagine your self in human form.”

Emma did as her wolf said. She felt her bones start to c***k. Next thing she new Lucas was shoving his shirt on her.

“Mine” he growled. Emma was confused on why he was be possessive until she saw that they had an audience. It looked as if the entire pack was there to watch a show. Emma became very self conscious. Just then Luna Claire turned to everyone, and with a stern look she said “Everyone go about your business. There is nothing to see, go on shoo.”

She turned back to look at Lucas and Emma. “Your wolf is beautiful Emma, she is a beautiful white wolf. What is her name?”

“It’s Aria.”

Luna Claire just smiled and nodded. “Be careful of shifting though, shifting could hurt the baby.” Emma started to freak out. But Luna Claire calmed her down, “Relax child, in the early stages of pregnancy shifting won’t hurt the child. But once you get to your second trimester no more shifting. Got it?”

“Yes. I understand” Emma nodded

As Lucas was helping her up Wolf came racing out of the pack house. As he passed Lucas he tensed, as did Luna Claire. Quickly Lucas pushed Emma into his mothers arms and raced after Wolf. Looking at Luna Claire confused she asked “Is everything ok?”

Luna Claire shook her head, leading Emma back into the pack house. “Rogues have just entered our territory.” She explained

Emma just nodded her head. She followed Luna Claire up three flights of stairs, and to a bedroom. As she looked around she could tell that it was Lucas’s bedroom. She turned to ask Luna Claire something but she was gone.

Emma decided she would just wait for Lucas to come find her, so she lay down on the bed. Right when her head hit the pillow she was asleep. Emm woke to an arm around her waist. For a moment she freaked out, not knowing where she was or who was with her. She felt tingles run up her arm, then she remembered everything.

Turning over she peered up at Lucas who was sleeping next her. She couldn’t help but smile, suddenly Lucas’s eyes popped open startling her.

“Good morning beautiful.” Lucas smirked

“Good morning, you scared me.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. Let’s get up to get ready for today and head to breakfast. You missed dinner last night.” Lucas said.

“Oh my gosh. I fell asleep! I don’t mean to, I just wanted to lay down and wait for you. Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“Because you looked so cute sleeping, and my mother also threatened me. She said if I wake you up she was going to stab me.” Lucas replied

Emma laughed. She got up an headed to the bathroom. She turned to look at Lucas, he was smiling at her. “What?” She asked.

“Your laugh is so beautiful, that’s the first time I heard you laugh.” Lucas answered “I love your laugh.”

Emma walked into the bathroom smiling.
