Bonded wolf

Chaper 2

My whole life flashed before my eyes. Alpha James waiting on David to speak before punishing me. What am I supposed to do? My body is to weak to do much of anything. David watches me thinking. As the man who is supposed to be my mate watches my father holds me by my face not reacting. I guess he thinks I am to weak to be his mate. 

My brother watches with a large smile on his face. Fully enjoying this play out. His weak slave sister being made an example of. Rage had started to fill me as everyone laughed, whispered, or smirked at my torment.

"Alpha James I wish to be with her." David says his words laced with dagger directed at the alpha. His eyes stare angerly at my father his arms crossed over his well built chest and stood with his head held high.

"That can't be. You are picking a slave as your chosen mate. She is worth nothing!" My brother yelled standing beside my father and alpha Black.

"Why does it matter who I wish to take as my mate? Would it not be better for the alpha family for her to be taken away? I have made my mind up when I returned yesterday. I know you all smell me on her. I had taken her as mine" David says watching my brother look at me disgust and Alpha blacks eyes become completely black.

"You wish to ruin your name and place amoungst the pack. You are our head hunter and one of best fighters but want a weak slave as your mate." Crystal chimed in from next to her mate behind my father. Her mate holding her tight.

My father released my face making be drop to the floor. Within seconds he had grabbed hold of my hair and held me up as if to show everyone this is what happens when you are a problem.

"Alpha James, you asked if I wanted her. I have never done anything against you or this pack. I just wish for her to be the one who bares my pups. You may not see worth but I do. The girl cares for everything in this pack, cooks, cleans, farms, tends to everyone's needs, and cares for our pups with nothing but love. I took her so I can make sure it is known I wanted her." David says as he watched me being hurt in front of him for absolutely nothing.

"She can hate me for her whole life for all I care. I know I would for what had transpired last night but I stand here alpha telling you I want this wolf as my own." His eyes begin to gloss over as he holds back tears.

"No, I can not be anyone's mate." I say pushing myself out my fathers grasp. Everyone murmuring scared of my father's expression. As expected he slapped me with all his might knocking me to the ground. My mouth bleeding from the slap. I look at him for a moment and get back up. David's hand snaked behind me to support me up.

"I ,Ava Blood, renounce the blood that runs through me. I am no longer the alpha's daughter. I reject this pack as mine." I say coldly as David watches holding my waist in horror and alpha Black stares at me as if he wants to speak.

"Who do you think you are without my blood? If you do this you will be banished from this pack and become a rouge." His eyes watch me cautiously. I turn and face Alpha Black ignoring my father

"Head hunter David I can not be your mate. I am not fit to bare children with what I am. Your bloodline needs to remain strong and all I will do is weaken it." I say putting on a small smile bowing my head at him.

My eyes lock angerly onto Alpha Blacks. I step closer to him as everyone watches on. No one knows what to do. I have never spoken out or against the alpha or any one for that matter. I am tired of this life. If it kills me so be it. My life isn't much worth living.

"Alpha Black, I do not wish to be your mate. I reject you. I will not share a bed with you. I will not bare you any children. I Ava Blood reject Alpha Black as my fated for as long as I shall live." I look at him dead eyes. His men have surrounding me in case I attack.

"Well little wolf, you must not know a thing about me if you think I accept your rejection." He said boldly his hand rubbing the blood of my mouth.

"As you wish. You may not accept it but the bond will break." I say as he grabs my waist pulling me to him.

"Do you want me to break your fingers? Get your hands off me!" I say letting out a growl

"Try and leave now" he says chuckling at me. I watch him cautiously scanning his face for a weakness. After a moment he moves his hand to the small of my back. I used what little weight I could to knock him to the ground. I took that as my opportunity to grab his hand and pin it under him nearly breaking it. His men rush to his aid as my father laughs at my anger building

"Stand down no one is to harm her" his eyes staring into mine playfully as he growled. My hand releases his and I growl low at him showing my canines. As he stays under me as if trying to read me.

"Now how about you calm down and show your mate your a wolf worth loving because right now you seem to be a weak used dog. You have alpha blood in you but allow lowly men to have there way with you. I will forgive this as you didn't know who your mate was but do not try and do it again." He runs his hand down my back smiling as he spoke.

"Let me make this clear. The moon goddess may have paired us but I do not want a pathetic Alpha who can be tackled by a tiny she wolf and whose beta is mated to a she wolf I want to kill where she stands. Now do as you wish and continue your life like we never met. I've felt you for years sleeping with she wolves every few nights. You never cared then for me to be loving." My voice becoming louder. He lies under me pissed off wanting to hurt me like everyone else

" How dare you speak to the alpha like that!" My sister yells at me grabbing my arm going to slap me before I flip her onto her back using the shift in weight bearing my teeth at her growling. Her body is pinned under mine my knee jammed into her thigh hearing a audible c***k. Hands wrap around me pulling me into them.

"I've had enough! I do not care of what blood you have in you. This pack has been nothing but torture my whole life. Everyday you all hurl abuse at me as I take it to not be killed. But I am done being a weak wolf. The next person to try and touch me will be killed!" I say as if a command. My alpha blood coming in handy making all other wolves bow there heads toward me.

"Calm down Ava your going to get yourself killed. Please just breath, no one will hurt you as you are mine." David said holding me to his chest. I look at him wanting to kill him for what he did to me but I won't. I can sense his love for me. Although it is f****d up he wanted to claim me so no one would hurt me. He pulls my face to his kissing me roughly. My hands are stuck against his stomach barely able to push him. I take a deep breath of his scent to make sure I remember it.

"Get your hands off my mate!" A growl boomed through the halls . David looks at me worry filled his eyes. He knows he can't fight alpha Black though. He may be strong but not against a alpha.

"As I said I am not your mate. I will do as please for the first time in my life." I say with a twisted smile and my voice coming off sweet.

" Don't look for me" I whisper barely audible in davids ear so only he hears me. He immediately knew what I meant shaking his head. I look around for the best route out. Locking my eyes on the one looking from the kitchen just to my right. David kisses me again holding me as hard as he could to him slowly backing me away from the crowd. Everyone was starting to panic as alpha Black was about to shift and attack. I push David off and make my run for it. David lays on the ground keeping people back so I can make an escape.

I jump through the glass rolling onto the ground. I hear yelling and growls behind me. I shift as fast as I could as alpha Black comes behind me. I hear his growl trying to get me to submit. I don't even turn around I start to run as quick as my legs will take me. Darting left and right avoiding trees. The pack is not to far behind me catching up fast. David is doing his best to lead them all in the wrong direction but not enough to get him killed. I use my tiny frame as advantage to hide I shift back climbing at tree and keeping my body pushed against the folliage to cover myself. I do the best I could to mask my scent since there's no breeze this makes it much easier.

I look down as the pack run past me not noticing me in the tree. I take a branch into my hand and use it as my grip to not fall. I make my way through the tree tops as quietly as possible to not draw them back.

I made my way through the forest watching the scramble below me waiting to see me to catch me. I jump passed our boarders staying up high and covered as I look back at what was supposed to be my family and mate staring around growling.

"Goodbye red claw" I say through the mindlink and cut my ties officially becoming a lone wolf. I severe the link so no one can answer me and continue to climb through the trees.

After I made it a safe distance I laid my body against the frame of a tree thinking over what I just did. I have nothing now. It's kind of exciting to be free. I am not a rouge as I wasn't banished. Not like it mattered.

"Lyra, where are we?" I think as I observe the area around me. It's not a huge forest. I can hear the city nearby, people talking and cars honking.

"From what I can sense we are headed towards neutral lands. I can feel the humans and vampires around. We must be prepared to hide within the city for a while and live as a human." She says as she pace back and forth.

I climb down the tree with nightfall covering me. I stand naked trying to find something to cover myself when I see two people in a small lake naked. I make my way sneaking towards them. I watch them to ensure they don't notice me. They play splashing one another. I take this as my opportunity to grab their clothes and rush to a nearby bush and through it on.

My hair lays a mess from the days event. I do my best to tame it by reputting it into a braid down both sides of my head. I slipped on this blue lace dress with small pink flowers embroidered on it that smelt heavily of perfume. It stops just above my knees and barely covers my breasts. I dust off the dirt and put on the strangers gold and tan gladiator sandals that are two sizes to big for me. I hear rustling behind me in the woods. I took this as my cue to leave not allowing anything to sneak up on me.

I exit the forest and follow a trail back to the city. I see a few people walking around the trails no one thinking twice of me being there. It was the best thing I could hope for.

Once I made it into the city I made my way passed everyone and ran away from the only thing I ever knew. I find myself standing before a club, music blaring , people in a line waiting to get in. I think of weither or not to enter when a girl grabs my arm and linked them. Her eyes pleading for me to follow her.

"Hey sis, I'm sorry I'm late Alec was talking my ear off " the girl says playfully. Her green eyes not leaving mine as her curly black hair falls from the high bun it is placed in and onto her lightly tanned face. Her face covered in freckles and full rosey lips.

"It's fine your here now." I say playing along with her. I force a smile onto my face and she points her head a man watching us.

"Let's get you home before the boys miss us." She says guiding me away from the crowd.

We walk for a few minutes before she stops and turns to me confused. You could see looking at her she was thinking about what to do.

"I'm Mara. You must not be from around here?" She says waiting for an answer as she shifts her weight.

"No, I just arrived tonight. I don't even know where here is. I know it's of neutral land mostly." I say with my hands running through my hair and my head hanging back.

"This is Coral City. It is a small neutral place but monitored by the Blood moon pack. The alpha owns most of the city and doesn't like rouges here. You need to make your way through this area fast." She states warning me to be careful.

"I will keep going on my journey once the sun rises. I have been running for hours. I just need a break for a few moments. Thank you for helping me though" I say with a small smile on my face.

"Where are you going, I can help you get there. My brother runs a small bed and breakfast I can get you a night there for free. I wish to leave this place too" Mara faces away from me not showing me any expression.

" That man he wanted you. I saw him follow you for a while. Wherever you are from either they followed you or this guy wanted to advantage." Her eyes watche to see what I do.

"I don't know who that man was but he isn't from my pack lands. I sensed someone watching me in the forest on my way through as I got dressed." I say as I shrug my shoulders.

"I don't know where I'm going really. I just want to make it to a place I can find for myself and blend in" my voice coming out soft.

"Come let's get you a place to stay for the night but in the morning I need to meet with you about what you are going to do." She says as she wandered off.

I watch her for a moment thinking if I should really trust this girl. I don't know her, she doesn't know me and I do not know if that man was even follow me. She could be setting me up.

"Ava we cannot trust this. It is best if we make a run for it before she turns and sees us gone" Lyra barks

"I was just thinking that. Our scent is covered but we need to find a place to lay low for the night."I feel Lyra sprinting away from the area.

I run quietly to not alert the girl that I had run off. It only took her a few seconds to realize I had not followed her. I hear her shouting and looking for me. I could tell she was linking someone that I had run off

I watched her from a few blocks away. As someone had met up with her and they begun to discuss where to look for me when I felt someone watching me. I look around and see a man with dark blue hair, pale skin, with red eyes. Once the wind blew I knew what he was ,vampire. He watches me curiously not to draw the other wolves attention.

He motions me to follow him as I peer around the corner the two wolves stand arguing. I come out my hiding spot slowly as he directs me on when to move. Once I get to him he wraps his leather jacket around me and places his arm on my shoulder covering my scent. He stays quiet and walks me slowly to a apartment complex near by.

He walked me in silence filled the air and he walked to the kitch pouring me a glass of water and him a cup of blood and set it down in front of me. His eyes search me to see how wounded I was.

"Those wolves are part of the blood moon pack. They are the rouge hunters. This may be neutral land but the alpha torments rouges. I don't know why or why you came her but you must run once you are healed." The tall 5'11 vampire says sitting in front of me placing his hand on mine.

"I'm sorry that I am a bother to you. I didn't know where I was. I escaped my pack and landed here and made my way to the city knowing it was neutral. It shouldn't be long before I am healed maybe a few days. Thank you." I say trying to hold back tears at the mess I have landed in.

"Don't worry about bothering me. I came to you once I saw you walk off with the wolf girl. I know our kinds may not get along but I could see you were injured which means you are running or being hunted. I will not ask you about it so you do not have to relive it but can you tell me where you come from." He sips from his cup his hand never leaving mine trying to comfort me.

"It's fine, it's probably easier to tell you my story. My name is Ava Blood. I come from the Red Claw pack, I am the alpha and Luna's third child. My whole life I have been abused by them and the pack for being born. I was beaten or tortured for anything that happened. Today was the last straw. I met my mate the alpha of treetop. He complained about something I couldn't control the warrior wolves were training and came into the home and made a smell of wolf. He only said it because a wolf had there hand wrapped around me. I guess it was jealousy but he wanted me to be punished." I take a deep breath before I continue. He sits back in his chair processing everything I said.

" It was either fight and run, be killed by my father, or be force mated with someone I rejected. The worst part is if my mate even took a second to look at me he would have noticed I was hurt even after a wolf admitted to forcing themselves onto me to make he there's he just looked at me like I should be punished. I was r***d and my mate wanted me to be punished for it." Tears fully running down my face. My heart was racing and I couldn't catch my breath. The man gets up sits on the floor in front of me placing his hands on my face wiping my tears.

"My name is Abel Crest. I am a second in my coven. I will not allow anyone to harm you as long as you are here in my care. I don't know how you survived as long as you did. I couldn't imagine what you have endured over the years but you are safe now. The Blood moon pack will not be able to sense you here." His eyes fixed on mine.

Abel's pov

My mind raced seeing this tiny abused girl sitting in front of me breaking down. Her face buried into her hands fully starting to have a panic attack. I sat on the ground in front of her holding her arms trying to comfort her. How was I supposed to do that though? Her own pack abused it's future Luna. Wolves usually have more morals than to hurt their own. You could see all scars on her hands and legs. Her beautiful long red hair fell out of its messy braids and lay hanging over her faces. She isn't much older than 19 and she must be underweight for a wolf. Her cheeks and eyes are sunken in. While her arms are so thin you could easily break them.

When she ran she must have fought hard because she had dried blood on her mouth and side of her head. Her body should have healed by now though. I guess it's because she's tiny that it isn't fully healed.

"No one is going to hurt you here" I muster up the courage to say. She shakes her head not believing me. I can't fault her for that though she has been through alot in the last 24 hours.

After about an hour of her crying she settled and fell asleep curled up in a ball in her arm chair. I brush her hair out her face and place in into a ponytail to get it out her face. I try my best to not wake her. She needs her rest. My eyes are fixed onto her she looks so fragile like any wrong move and she would break. It is horrible to see someone in this state. I don't think she even realizes how she looks. Her face has freckles across her nose and her skin barely had any color to it rare for a wolf. She had a unique look. Her ginger hair lavender eyes and pale skin.

I get up and grab a rag wetting it a little. Fill a small bowl with water and bring some soap to the living room where she lays. She hadn't moved since falling asleep. I sit back in front of her and slowly clean the blood of her head wiping it all away pricking my finger and out my blood on her cut to heal her faster. I place a bandage on it and start wiping the blood off her mouth and neck.

Once her face is fully cleaned I start to wipe her legs down getting the mud off them. I slowly take her shoes off placing them by the door. I chuckle lowly knowing she must have stolen them since they were to big for her. After cleaning her off I carry her to my room and place her in my bed and undress her putting one of my shirts onto her. They shirt hung like a dress on her she had no undergarments on I did my best to not look at her body like this l. I didn't want to make her uncomfortable or scared of me. I put a pair of my boxers on her having to tie them on the side to fit her. I put socks onto her feet since she felt freezing and gently place my grey comforter over her body and watched as she smiled in her sleep and turned on her side.

"Warm" she whispers in her sleep. Something we all take for granted she found amazing. I sit there until she got comfortable and called my leader.

I make my way back to my living room cracking the bedroom door to hear if Ava needs me. I pull my phone out of the drawer under the old television. I begin to dial my leader and before I could I hear running outside the apartment. I place my ear to the door hearing the two wolves fr earlier. They picked up another rouges scent nearby as they dash down the alley. I continue calling my boss waiting for him to answer. After a few rings he picks up.

"Abel what do you need at this hour? Shouldn't you be sleeping?" His voice low and groggy

"Boss, I know you told me not to get involved with the wolves just study them but I saved one. She was injured and they were luring her to a trap. The girl would have died." My voice at a whisper to not wake her.

"She should be healed in a few hours send her away once she wakes. We cannot risk anyone knowing you are there." He snaps at me through the phone.

"Boss I can't she won't heal. Her wolf is severely injured and she is very weak. She's not in a healthy state for her wolf to heal her. I had to use my blood to heal her head. The girl is little and young." My voice cracks. My boss has never been one for caring about the wolves. I just could not allow her to die for nothing.

"Why would you do that? You are risking everything for a creature that will rip you to shreds once she is healthy." His voice getting louder

I take a deep breath looking back at the room hoping he is wrong. I know wolves hate vampires but she didn't seem like that kind of wolf.

"Abel I know you have a good heart. If you think she is worth saving I will give you the benefit of doubt but once she is healed she needs to meet us." He says clearly pinching his nose by the way his voice is carried.

Just like that he hung up. I hide my phone back in it spot and went to lay on the couch and fell asleep.
