Mated Before Love

Chapter 7 - Haven

“Are you hurt?” I froze instantly to the spot at Beta Reeces question “N-no Beta Reece” I said swiftly, I was hoping he believed me. “If you say so. Keep up” he was curt in his reply and turned on his heal to keep walking. Bristling myself I forced my body to move at a pace to keep up with him, I was in agony by the time we got to his bedroom door. He walked in leaving the door open for me and I was planted in the door way taking in the room. I admit that having drenched clothes was good in this moment because I had wet myself in fear at what I saw.

On his bedside table he had a pair of handcuffs and packets of condoms, over near his desk on the other side of the room I saw various gags and other devices. He was going to make me have s*x with him in order to pay off the debt. Shaking my head violently I started to back away from the door. “What are you doing, come in the room” he started to get annoyed at me and raise his voice, I continued to back away from the room and shake my head “N-n-no” I stuttered, petrified of what would happen to me. “Excuse me” he said to me surprised at my outburst and started to approach me, I stuck my hands up in attempt to stop him whilst still backing away. “N-no”. At this point I was a mess, I had wet myself in fear, shaking violently and had tears streaming down my face. I could tell he was angry and watched his eyes glaze over, most likely contacting someone to punish me for not complying. I took the opportunity to run away I made it to the top of the stairs before he yelled out “WHAT THE f**k!” I took this as a sign to most faster, pain forgotten in this moment I was running for my life.

I made it down 2 flights of stairs before seeing anyone else, they looked at me with so much disgust I could hear feet pounding down the stairs to get me and I kept moving. When I reached the bottom of the stairs I went crashing straight into a wall, at least I wish it was a wall. I pulled my face away from it just enough to see that I crashed straight into Gamma Alex. He grabbed ahold of both my arms and attempted to look me in the face, I tried to hide my tears but I couldn’t I will be dead by the hour. “Are you okay?” I heard him ask me, I stood there shaking and crying all that could be heard was someone pounding down the stairs. Gamma Alex’s eyes glazed I knew who he was talking to. His hold on my arms wasn’t to tight so I was able to shuffle my way out of them and continue for the door.

I had almost made it when someone grabbed my arm and yanked me towards them, from the aurora I knew who it was, even if I wanted to look up I couldn’t Alpha Chase was pushing his anger towards me so hard that I had peed a little again involuntary. “What do you think you are doing?” He said into my ear murderously low and slow. All I could do was cry in response I couldn’t even attempt to escape his hold. I heard Beta Reece descend the stairs and was talking to Gamma Alex, at this point the adrenaline was wearing off and the pain was beginning to envelop my body I arched my back from the pain and I fell to the ground. “Get to your feet now” the alpha command was unmistakable and I found myself leaning to a wall trying to lift myself up.

“WHATS GOING ON HERE?!” An even louder voice boomed judging by the power and silence that followed I knew it was our current alpha. “I was trying to get this wolf-less Omega to do some work for me and she refused and ran away” Beta Reece explained to him emphasising the term wolf-less. Being a fair leader the alpha had asked me if the allegation was true. I defeatedly nodded my head, I was ready for death now. “Haven I must say I’m disappointed in your behaviour. This cannot go unpunished” I stood there leaned against the wall slowly nodding my head, “Alpha, would you like me to punish her. After all she is one of my own” I heard the bone chilling voice of my father and then the shaking started. Death would not be quick. “Tyson, you would be best to teach her how to take orders, a wolf-less Omega has no place in a pack. The only reason she is still here is because of my lovely wife and Luna” I could here the distain he had towards me, he was right I should’ve been dead. “You know how we punish people based on what they have done and I’m sure you will do as such” I could hear the finality in his voice. “Yes Alpha I will punish her as she deserves”. “Very well, now Omega, apologise to your Alphas, Beta and Gamma and to your father”. I knew I was going to die tonight, so I saw no need to fear apologising. “I’m sorry father, I have never meant to disappoint or disrespect you. I’m sorry Gamma Alex for crashing into you and running away. I’m sorry Beta Reece for refusing an order and running away. I’m sorry both Alpha Chase and Alpha Grayson for causing a scene in your home and for the display of disrespect.” These would be my last words. “Leave” was all Alpha Grayson had to say and my father grabbed my arm and dragged me home.

Alex POV

“Dude what happened?” After the big upset down stairs with everyone I followed Reece back to his room so we could talk “I don’t know, I said to her she was going to be working off her debt. I asked her to follow me into the room and she just stood at the doorway shaking and crying. She looked in the room and said no. And the rest is self explanatory” I thought the behaviour was very strange she doesn’t seem the type to refuse an order “are you sure nothing else happened, she doesn’t seem the sort to cause trouble?” I asked Reece right as Chase walked in the door “She is walking trouble Alex, she’s rumoured to be behind all the bullying at the school.” He spoke in annoyance about her “all I’m saying is maybe something else happened to cause her to run away” I tried to reason with Chase but he was already angry. “I already told you. I told her she needs to work off her debt and she looked in the room and said no”. ‘Maybe it was something she saw’ Damon suggested to me so I decided to investigate. I got up from where I was seated and stood in the doorway “what are you doing now?” Reece asked annoyed at the fact I was not dropping the subject. “Well maybe she saw something that scared her” I suggested the same thing to him as I scanned the room, I was hard trying to see what upset her as a male everything looked normal. I decided I needed a female’s perspective. “Isla come here” I called out to Chases sister, she was Havens age and would be able to tell us if anything may have upset her. “What do you-“ she stopped mid sentence “Dude can you at least put away your s*x s**t before bringing a lady in here. You look like your about to pounce someone” she said in a joking manner but was exactly the answer we needed. All three of us scanned the room and noticed the condoms next to the bed, as well has some torture tools he had obviously brought to his room after receiving them from the academy. “s**t” was all Reece could say “Well what did you want?” Isla was confused to why she was pulled away from what she was doing “Please go Isla” Chase asked his sister to leave so we could continue our conversation. “Fine” and she sauntered off.

“She probably thought you were going to r*pe her” I said to Reece hoping he’d realise how wrong he was. “I’d never do that, I’m also waiting for my mate” he reasoned with me “You told her to work off her debt and commanded her to go into a room full of condoms and torture devices” I spelled out the seriousness of what happened in the room to him. “She shouldn’t be punished for that” Chase even defended her, Reece never called for punishment but he didn’t stop it. “You need to apologise to her” was all Chase said and then he walked off.

Haven POV

“You dirty, disgusting, disrespectful w***e” my father yelled out to me in-between lashes. “You embarrassed Myself, Tessa and Luke, and you have disgraced our family” the lashes kept coming but I stayed silent. “Let me father” Luke’s voice was laced with joy, like a kid in a candy store. “We’ll break out the new toy” you could feel his excitement electrifying the air “I have a new idea for the anniversary anyway” he was trying to convince our father, which barely needed much to do. “Do it” he commanded Luke. The next thing I knew my father was tightening the strapping to my wrists and ankles so there was no chance of movement. I heard Luke’s maniacal laugh as he used the gauger against my back I couldn’t help the blood curdling scream the erupted from me as he slowly pulled it down my back not once but 5 times. They ended the session there and released me to the ground in a puddle of my own blood. Weakly I crawled myself over to the mat on the floor and laid with my back exposed. I welcomed death but she refused to see me today.
