Saved by my Alpha Mates

5. First Trip

Emmett's POV 

Jamie pulled the car away from Stone River's pack house and I let out a sigh of relief knowing we were heading back home with our Mate and future Luna. I glance over at my Queen who is sitting between my brother and myself and she is cowered in on herself and trembling with fear. I glance at my brother over her head and for the first time I realized how petit she really is, she looks so small sitting between my brother and me and I can't keep the small smile from forming on my lips. My brother meets my eyes and gives a smile before mind-linking Jamie and myself. I can't believe we have found her, and she is the one from my dreams brother. I also cannot believe that she was so calm while speaking in front of those other Alphas, and everything she said was spot on! We have truly been blessed. Jamie replies, She was speaking as a true leader, no one would think she had been through so much. It makes me angry to think what other type of abuse my Luna has been through when no one in that pack helped her. I begin to reply to Jamie and my brother, I know Jamie, we will need to uncover what happened while she lived there but it might take some time. As for now I think she had said in the doctors office that she had never left the pack house, this might be very frighting for her. 

I look back at my Queen who still hasn't stopped shaking since the car started and we have only been in here for about 5 minutes, we haven't even reached the pack boarders yet. I reach out my hand to hold hers and she pulls away out of reflex, I understand it but can't stop the hurt from showing on my face for a split second. I pull my face back into a calm expression before I hear her sweet soft voice,

" I'm sorry Alpha, I'm not used to others touching me in a kind way. I am also a bit scared, I have never been in a car before or left the pack house. This is all overwhelming for me and I'm not sure how to deal with it." 

Her voice shows her fear as she trembles to get all the words out, I'm also so grateful that she can tell us exactly what she is thinking and feeling. It will make helping her so much easier, it also shows me that she trusts us already. I look at her lovely and say,

" My Queen, I only wanted to hold you hand to help calm you. I can only imagine how overwhelming this must be for you. My brother and I are only here to protect you, and we want to make sure you feel safe always. Would it help if we talked about the car so that you understand it? It is a new experience for you it might  help you feel calm to know what's happening." I wait for her to give her answer while she bits her bottom lip, it almost makes me groan and I shift a bit to adjust my pants and I noticed my brother do the same. Then I feel her small soft hand touch mine, I'm surprised they are as soft as they are knowing she had to clean the pack house on her own. 

"I think that may help my Alpha, and I would like to hold both of your hands if that's all right it may calm me more. This car is very large, and the seats are very soft and comfortable, what speed are we moving at? Where are the controls located? Will we be going to stop after going so fast? Oh! What would happen if we can't stop! Will we die, how will we stop Emmett!?" 

I give a small chuckle at how fast she is asking questions, she's acting like a small pup,

"My Queen we are more than happy to hold your hands to help calm you whenever you need it, as for the size of the car yes it is large, there are other size cars but we like the larger ones called SUVs to make sure there is enough room. The seats are very comfortable because they are made of a higher quality fabric called leather. For the speed we will need to ask Jamie to be sure, and the controls as you say are up front by Jamie, there are two pedals that control speed and how to stop. We will be able to slow down and stop, if we could not stop we would crash and may be hurt badly or perhaps die. This is not something that happens often so you should not worry about it. Jamie what speed are we going now?"

"Alpha we are going 65mph right now, and I promise Luna I will not go faster than this speed if you wish me not to."

"Thank you Beta, I would prefer to know if you change speed so that I do not become alarmed, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this places on you. I must sound so silly and stupid for asking such a thing. Thank you Emmett for explaining the workings of this car to me, I would like to see the controls when there is time later if that would be all right." 

I could slowly feel her starting to calm down while talking and holding our hands, I make small circles on the back of her hand while she was talking to help. I love to feel the small jolts of electricity move up from my hand from where I touched her. She felt them earlier but does not seem to feel them now, I wonder if she will feel them more once the Mate bond is completed when we mark and mate with her. I know my brother and I are looking forward to the time we can make her ours, until we mate her she will not be our Luna fully, Its Ender who speaks next,

" My Luna you do not sound silly or stupid you are just having a new experience and need time to adjust. We have about an five hour drive back to our pack, so we will arrive around eight at night just in time for dinner. Would you like to talk about other things or would you like to take a nap, I'm not sure what time you woke this morning so you may be tired already."

" My Alpha I woke thing morning at 5am like I do every morning in order to get ready so that I can start breakfast for the pack by 6am. I am a bit tired and wouldn't mind having a nap but there isn't any place to lay down." she says with a sad tone, Ender responds first again, 

" You could lay your head on my shoulder or on my lap that way you could put your feet up on Emmett's lap, which ever you prefer." 

We both held our breath and waited for her answer and both hoping for the second option. She bits her bottom lip, which now I have discovered she does when she is thinking about something. We feel her shift in her seat and pull our hands from ours before shifting around to place her small feet on my lap and her head on Enders thigh. I reach down to her feet and pull her shoes off to discover she isn't wearing and socks and I wonder if she has any. I put her shoes on the floor and start to rub her feet, I look up at my brother with a smirk and he has the same on his face. My eyes drift down to my Queen with her head in my brothers lap and her arms and hand pushed up by her face. With her arms up we can see her large t**s pushed up against each other and her shirt pulled up a bit when she moved so we can see a small patch of creamy white skin. I can barley contain the moan that wants to escape my lips when I see her small patch of skin exposed. My brother puts his hand down to push back her hair and rub her scalp, he has a smirk on his face like he had the most brilliant idea about her laying in his lap. As I rub her feet I tell her,

"My Queen rest for as long as you need, Ender and I will help you relax and be here when you wake."  I hear her soft voice reply,

" Thank you Alpha, I will try my best to relax and sleep and hopefully when I wake up we will be at your pack house."

I choies not to correct her and tell her its her pack as well and just enjoy the time I have with her. I look over to my brother and mind-link him and Jamie so I won't disturb her while she is trying to sleep. We must tell Mathew that we are arriving tonight and to prepare the room next to ours on our floor, We want to make sure everything is ready for our return. Jamie responds that he will call Mathew when our Luna is asleep so the call won't disturb her. I continue to rub my Queens feet and let my mind drift as I know Ender is doing the same. I'm lost in thought about our Mate and how we will get her to talk about what has happened to her. Time passes quickly and before I know it we are about and hour from our pack and suddenly my Queen stirs and begins to breather heavy, she is now sweating and a second later she is screaming for someone to stop. She screams again and shoots up from our laps trying to slow her breathing down when me and my brother grab her hands and try to calm her. 

" My Queen are you all right? We are still in the car on our way to the pack, please slow your breathing, everything is ok, we are here."

Lillian's POV

When Ender suggested a nap it sounded like the best idea ever, even though it was still early I had a long day. Waking up early to take care of my duties, being abused by father and son, finding my Mate which turned into two Mates, attending the pack hospital and a meeting with Alphas and now in a car for the first time leaving my pack for the first time. I was exhausted and it wasn’t even three yet, when I got comfortable with my head on Ender’s lap and my feet on Emmett’s I did not expect what happened next. Emmett started to take my shoes off and started to run my feet and Ender played with my hair. It felt so nice to be cared for in such a way, I had never been giving any comfort or caring touches before. Before I knew it I was drifting to sleep from the caring touches and the sway of the car. 

Unfortunately my sleep was not a dreamless one and soon I was thrown back into a terrible memory of my past. I’m in the Alphas and Lunas room cleaning when I hear yelling and screaming coming from the Alpha’s office. I try to finish quickly so that I can leave this floor before his angry is directed at me. I can’t make out so much of what they are saying but the Alpha is yelling at the Luna and I can hear her crying and saying something about someone being just a pup and that they must be protected, I assume she is talking about there son a future Alpha. He is only two years older than me so I guess you could say 9 is still a pup. I hear things being thrown and braking on the floor then the door to the office is thrown open and the Luna runs out heading downstairs. I tried to hide myself but it was to late the Alpha new I was cleaning his room. I hear his footsteps as he walks into the room and slams the door. Yelling he tells me to come to him, I wish I could just evaporate but I must listen to him. As I walk towards him with my head bowed down in submission I pray to the Goddess that he doesn’t hurt me to badly. He asks me in an eerie calm voice why have you not finished cleaning our room? As he steps toward me I keep my head down and I feel him grab my hair and pull my head back so I’m looking into his eyes. I let a small whimper escape my lips and all I see in his eyes is anger and hatred. I see I need to teach you manners as well , he raises his hand to hit me in the face. I fall to the floor and being to cry, but I know this is just the beginning. He begins to kick me in the ribs as I scream for help but no one comes and I’m all alone with this angry Alpha. He yells at me to stop my crying a screaming but I’m just a little pup and I can’t hold back my cry’s for help. The kicks become harder and I feel something snap and I have never felt so much pain before, I let you a blood curdling scream and pass out. 

I shoot up from Enders lap breathing hard and fast with sweat running down my back, I can hear someone talking to me but I can’t focus on it. I begin to do my breathing exercises I learned after the nightmare started. Focusing on my breathing I began to calm down and I put my head in my hands and after a minute push my hair back from my face. I finally look up at my Mates who had fear and worry in there eyes, I also noticed we had pulled over on the side of the road. 

“Why have we stopped, was there and issue with the car?”

Emmett was the one to reply,

“My Queen we stopped because you were screaming and weren’t responding when we were to talk to you and get you to calm down, you have been screaming for a few minutes then you were unresponsive for about five minutes. We were worried so I had Jamie pull over so we could focus on you and getting you calm.”

“I’m sorry if I worried you, I should have mentioned I have nightmares sometimes, well I suppose ever time I sleep. It didn’t cross my mind because I have never been in anyone’s presence while sleeping before.” I see some of the worry die down but it replaced with sadness. “Jamie you may continue driving I’m quite all right now.” 

The car pulls back onto the street and I can see him glance back at me from the mirror. I feel my Mates hold my hands again but I think this time it’s more for there comforting then mine but I do not say anything. Both my Mates sighed and looked at me, but Ender was the one to ask the question I was hoping to avoid, at least for now. 

“How long have you been having nightmares when you sleep and do you want to talk about the nightmare you just had?”

I wasn’t ready to talk about them completely but I felt I needed to explain something for my Mates would continue to worry about it. So with a deep breath I gave them a bit of information.

“ I have been having nightmares since I was a young pup, maybe about age 8 or 9. At first they were not as consistent as they are now, I would say probably the last year they have been ever time I sleep. As for what this one was about, I was remembering the first time I broke a rib, I suppose the trip to the pack doctor and all the talk about it being more than a bruise brought the memory back.”

Both my Mates and even Jamie had made there faces blank before Emmett asked,

“How old were you my Queen when you broke your first rib?”

I didn’t want to answer them but I knew they would not be satisfied until I told them, 

“My Alpha I was 7 when I first experience what it felt like to brake a bone.” Trying to change the conversation so they realize I don’t wish to speak of this anymore I ask, “ How much longer till we arrive at your pack?”

I feel them both stiffen a bit from understanding and Jamie answers, “ we are about an hour away Luna, you slept most of the drive.”

One more hour before I reach my new life, I wonder if they will like me? How do I act around others,  I don’t have much experience talking with others. Now the nerves starts to take over and an hour seems like an eternity.
