Fighting For My Mate (18+)

Chapter 16

Christa POV

It felt amazing telling Eli about my Ankylosing Spondylitis and what I had been going through nearly my whole life, and finally having someone actually understand and even feel the pain I deal with on a day to day basis brings me some comfort that it’s not in my head and I’m not alone. Although, I feel extremely guilty for keeping my other condition a secret from him because it not only affects me, it affects him as well. It's part of the reason I haven't been able to give myself fully to him. I’m afraid that once he finds out, he will reject me as his mate, and it will kill me if that happens.

I know I will have to tell him eventually, but I just don’t know-how. I am so afraid to tell him. He deserves a family, and I just can’t give him that. The idea of that breaks my heart. Knowing that I am keeping this secret from him is causing me so much anxiety and depression. There have been so many times I thought about leaving because he would be better off without me. I am stuck with these thoughts in my head while I am sitting in Eli’s house by myself. I decide to call Mandy to see if she can take me to see Chase. I really miss him. He was always the one I could go to when I started getting into my own head, and he always knew the right thing to say to get me out of that mind space. I needed that right now. I needed him.

We finally make it to the pack hospital, and I ask if Mandy could wait outside for me. I just really needed some time alone with Chase. I walk over to his bed and he looks so peaceful. He looks as though he’s just sleeping and he’ll wake up any moment now. I give him a kiss on his cheek and take his hand as I sit down on the chair next to him. I sit there silently for a few minutes, just listening to the steady beeps of the machine and sigh.

“Hey Chase, I really wish you were awake right now so that I could hear your words of wisdom. There has been so much going on these past few days that I honestly don’t know where to start? I guess I should probably start by telling you that Eli is my mate. Yeah, I know… shocker, right!” I let out a light giggle and sigh once again, ”If you were awake right now you would probably be having a huge fit and trying to beat the crap out of Eli.” I laugh at the thought, “Gosh, I wish you would. It would mean that you’re not laying here in this bed in a coma right now.” I say as I lean over and rest my head on his shoulder.

“Spending this time with Eli has been a huge eye-opener for me. We have found out some things about each other, and he’s been nothing but honest and open with me, and here I am keeping a secret from him. Geez Chase!” I chastise myself, ”I’m an awful mate. I feel like I’m not good enough for him. I can never give him what he deserves, and I’ll never be enough.” I sob into his shoulder.

“Chase, please wake up...I need you.” I quietly plead with him. I lie there with him for another thirty minutes. I startle when the door opens, quickly wiping my tear-stained cheeks, thinking it is Mandy coming in to ask me how I’m doing, but instead, Monika walks into the room. My heart sinks at the sight of her. Mandy comes in behind her.

“Christa, I’m so sorry I tried to stop her.” She says, giving me an apologetic look.

“It’s ok; I’ve finished anyway.” I start to get up to leave, and Monika stops me.

“Oh no, please don’t leave. I was actually hoping to find you here. I have been wanting to talk to you.” She says with a small smile trying to be genuine, but her eyes deceive her.

“Ok, what is it you would like to talk to me about?”

“Would you like for me to stay, Christa?” Mandy cuts in with a concerned look on her face.

“Oh, you can stay. I’d like for you to hear this too.” Monika intervenes.

Mandy walks over closer to me, facing Monika, and folds her arms against her chest, and leans against the wall, ready to pounce on Monika if she makes one wrong move. Monika looks over to Mandy and then back to me and lets out a sigh.

“I just wanted to say how sorry I am for all the times I have treated you through the years. It was unfair to you. I should have been better to you since you’re Pete’s sister, therefore, making you my family as well. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me. I’d like us to start over and take some time to get to know each other. I’d really like to take you out shopping for some sisterly bonding time.” I sit there, shocked at what I am hearing. I look over at Mandy only to see the same flabbergasted look on her face. She looks at me and shrugs. I narrow my eyes at her in disbelief.

“What are you trying to get at? I don’t believe for a second you are sincerely apologizing and trying to make things right!” I say, crossing my arms with my eyebrows furrowed.

“No ulterior motives here. I genuinely want to make things right with you.” She says, with her hands up in surrender. I stare at her for a moment longer, trying to get a read on her.

“Can I talk to you over here for a moment?” Mandy grabs my elbow and takes me to the otherside of the room, and whispers into my ear so Monika can’t hear.

“Christa, I don’t trust a word she is saying. You should really stay clear of her!” She voices, concerned about my wellbeing. I sigh and shake my head.

“I know. Honestly, I feel the same way but I should at least give her the benefit of the doubt. She’s my brother’s mate, and I owe it to Pete to try and make things work with her.” I glance over at Monika while she sits in the chair waiting for my anwer. I let out a sigh.

“Ok, Monika. I’ll give you a chance but only because you’re Pete’s mate and I want my brother to be happy. He deserves a family that gets along.”

“I am so happy you see it that way! I’ll send you a text and let you know what time I’ll be picking you up. Tata.” She says she picks up her giant Versace handbag, puts her expensive sunglasses on her face, and walks out of the hospital room.

“Are you sure about this? Maybe I should go with you just in case.” Mandy exclaims. I shake my head.

“If she’s willing to try, then so am I. I don’t want to start on the wrong foot. Having you tag along would only piss her off.” I say, “Besides, I will let Eli know about my shopping trip with Monika, and I’m sure he’ll have his security tail us no matter what.” I reassure Mandy.

She still looks unsure but nods her head ok.

**Monika**

After I leave the pack hospital, I give Eliza a call. Our plan is going perfect so far. I’ve been keeping track of where Christa goes and when I saw that she was visiting Chase I knew that it would be a perfect time to pay Christa a visit. Giving her my sincerest apologies for how I treated her, in her already emotional state, was perfect to get her to accept my apology and to give me a chance. All I needed was a chance.

“Hey, it’s a go. She bought it the stupid b***h. I didn’t think it would be this easy.” I laugh.

“Good. I knew it would be. She’s so gullible and wants to trust and please everyone around her! That’s why humans are weak. They’re so brainless it’s easy to manipulate them into doing anything you want!” Eliza cackled.

“Monika, I have to go now; I see some yummy eye candy I just need to get my hands on.” With that, her phone clicks off.

**Eliza**

I was out on the town at the cafe ordering a mocha latte. I was on the phone with Monika extremely pleased with how everything was moving along. As I ordered, this tall handsome man came up from behind me and cut in.

“Monika, I have to go now; I see some yummy eye candy. I just need to get my hands on,” I whisper into the phone before quickly hanging up.

“Add in a black coffee to that mocha latte; it’s on me.” He said with a dark deep voice that sent shivers down my spine. He winked and smirked as he pulled out his wallet and he just radiated power. He was ruggedly handsome, and he knew it. He had brown eyes, dark brown hair, and tanned skin. His muscles were so huge he looked like a bodybuilder, but they weren’t bulging out. No… they were just right. He had a scar above his right eyebrow that made him that much more handsome. Of course, he doesn’t come close to my Eli, but he’s a close second. I’ve never seen him before, and he doesn't smell like the other packs we’ve worked with before, which means new meat. He looks me up and down with heat in his eyes. This man was pure s*x. He reached out his hand.

“The name’s Lex, and you are?” I take his hand in mine.

“I’m Eliza, and oh my… what a strong handshake you have there, handsome. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He keeps a hold of my hand and pulls me in closer to his body; the heat is radiating off of him, he leans in his lips just barely touching my ear lobe, and his hot breath caresses my neck, sending a shiver through me, and my panties were drenched with my arousal.

“The pleasure is all mine.” He looks me in the eyes and smiles. Right then, I knew I wanted to jump this man’s bones, and he knew it as well.

He took me back to his place and as soon as we walked in through his door, he threw me against the wall. He started kissing me on my neck. I let out a loud moan. He ripped my blouse off of me, and I gasped.

“I can smell your arousal, women.” He growled.

I was aching so bad to have him inside of me. He took my right n****e into his mouth over my bra, soaking it through, and bit down, causing me to shriek.

“What? You can’t handle a little pain?” He challenged me with a smirk.

I ripped his shirt off and clawed at his chest, making him bleed. He groaned out loud.

“I’ll take that as a yes!” He smiled.

He then tore off my bra and sucked my n****e until it was rock hard, and he moved on to my next one, licking and sucking. He moved to my left breast and bit hard, drawing blood making me gasp in pain. He ripped off my skirt and underwear at the same time moving down to my core. He blew his hot breath onto my s*x teasing me. I moaned for him to give me more. Finally, his tongue stroked my c**t, sending heat in between my legs. Then he thrust two fingers into my p***y while he licked and sucked on my c**t. As my pleasure was building up, he pinched my c**t, causing me to explode into his mouth. He kept on licking and sucking letting me ride out the pleasure. He stood up, taking his jeans off, and stroked his hard swollen c**k. I looked down at his length, and he was huge. I looked back up at him, and he had a look in his eyes that made me nervous.

He roughly picked me up, jamming me onto his hard c**k, and began thrusting into me hard, making me scream out. As he was f*****g me, he started to partially turn. His face was distorted, not quite man, and not werewolf either. His hairs started growing out, his fangs grew, his fingers turned into claws and they started to dig deep into my ass, causing excruciating pain, and he grew impossibly big inside me.

”Lex, please don't... it’s too big; it hurts.” I plead.

He started to become even more aggressive with me as I begged for him to stop.

”I love it when you beg for me to stop!” He grunts as he thrusts into me even harder.

He plunged his fangs into my right breast, leaving two deep puncture holes in my breast; I yelled out in pain, blood slowly dripping out while it heals itself. His grunts get louder and louder, and a deep growl rips from his chest. Fear begins to grip me wondering what else he’s going to do to me. I keep my eyes closed not wanting to see him, but he yells at me to open my eyes and look at him. When I do, I immediately regret it. I slowly scan my eyes from his waist to his eyes; they are glowing a dark blood red. The red takes up his entire eyes.

I screamed, ”WHAT THE f**k IS WRONG WITH YOUR EYES?” As soon as I asked, I slapped my hand over my mouth.

I was immediately remorseful but it was too late. He lifted his hand and slapped me across my face, his claws catching my left cheek. I cried out for him to stop because everything was so painful and I was terrified. I had never seen a werewolf with red eyes before. Instead, he kept going, grunting out his pleasure. His eyes became brighter and brighter with red. All I could do was endure the pain, tears coming out of my eyes. He thrust into me three more times before he released inside of me. Panting heavily, he kissed me hard on my lips and then pulled out my lower lip before biting it with his fangs, making it bleed. I flinch, unable to make a sound. Panting heavily, he leans his forehead against mine, and he slowly turns back to normal and pulls out of me. He releases me, causing me to fall to the ground, and he starts cleaning himself up.

“Thank you. I needed that good f**k. It’s hard to find these days.” He turns and walks to his room while I am curled up in a corner, shaking my eyes wide open. When he walks back in the room he looks at me with a smirk.

“Oh, don’t act like you didn't enjoy it! Pick yourself up and clean yourself off.” He starts to walk to the kitchen and turns back to me, ”If you tell anyone about what you’ve seen here I will find you, and I will kill you. Do I make myself clear?” I quickly nod my head, grabbing whatever clothing wasn’t ripped apart.

“Oh, and that reminds me. You will make yourself available to me day or night! Like I said a good f**k is hard to find.” I let out a quiet sob, knowing that there was no way I would be able to escape this demon.
