Broken mate

Chapter 8

Taylor's POV

We both woke early that morning. Blake groaned sleepily and turned to me "my parents want us to have a family breakfast together" he rested his head on my chest hiding his face. "ow lovely, I better get showered and ready" I slipped from under him and ran to the shower. I stripped and stood under the hot water Blake came in the bathroom and started stripping as well "what are you doing" I said nervously as he chuckled. "I'm jumping in the shower" he replied shrugging his shoulders as he stepped in with me, he grabbed the loafer squirting some body wash on it and began rubbing my back with trailing kisses down my neck. I don't know why but this feels more intimate then what we've done before but I liked it. I was his and he was mine. I loved the way he worshiped me like I was someone special. He rested his head on my shoulder letting out a sigh " sorry babe I got my mother and Ava screaming in my head that I need to share you". I laughed at him he looked so cute sulking "well we better get dressed then" I said stepping out the shower. I quickly dried and put on some comfy clothes and we both walked down to the dining room his mother looking as graceful as ever came over to us wrapping me in a warm hug " how are you doing my lovely girl" she asked " I'm doing good how's everyone been here" I asked as I looked round the table at this perfect family. I always wondered if my mother was still alive would my life still of been the same. Blake's mother gave me warm smile " we're all doing great now my son has finally decided to share". We all burst out laughing "I do share sometimes" he said with a fake grumpy look on his face.

I looked at the table it was full there was plates full of bacon, eggs, waffles and pancakes plus the condiments to go with it. Blake and his father were the first ones to dig in putting a mountain of food on their plates "now, now boys save some food for us girls" Blake's mother scalded. We all sat eating I just watched the easy chatter It was nice everything felt normal for a moment but deep down I knew our troubles were just beginning. I knew Calvin wouldn't stop till he got what he wanted and people were going to get hurt, good people who are trying to help me the immense felling of dread began to engulf me. I could feel my body begin to shake and my chest becoming tight, I couldn't breathe Blake rushed to my side "babe what's wrong talk to me" as soon as he placed his hand on me I could feel myself calming down. I could still feel the dread inside of me but it wasn't swallowing me whole anymore. I looked around the table were everyone was looking at me with concerned faces. s**t iv just ruined the breakfast "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to ruin breakfast I don't know what came over me" I explained putting my head down In shame. "now don't silly sweetie after everything you have been through I'd be surprised if you didn't have moments like this. You do not ever need to apologise". Cassandra tried to reassure me. Blake squeezed my hand "hey want to go for run and start getting to know your wolf we can class this as training" he asked with a big smile on his face "yes sounds like a plan" I said as Blake pulled me up and we walked outside. Once out in the wooded land we shifted and began running, this is definitely what I needed. I could feel myself calming by the seconds. We reached the small lake where I ended up the first time I shifted Blake soon caught up and we sat still in our wolf form just staring over the calm ripples of the water we sat like that for what seemed like hours just lost in the calm. The bright sky was now turning to dark. Blake nuzzled his head into me and I knew it was time to leave. As we stood to leave we heard screams after screams echoing through the trees, we both started to run as fast as we could to where they were coming from. I was a lot faster than Blake so I took off in front. The closer I got I realised they were coming from the pack house as pounced out of the tree lining ,there were rouges everywhere. I spotted old brown rouge covered in battle scars snarling at little girl who was screaming out in fear. I quickly ran towards them knocking the wolf away from her he got back up and ran at me but before he made contact he fell to the floor yelping in pain. I knew it was me doing it to him but I don't know how or what I was doing to make this happen, I quickly bit down I his neck till I heard the clear snap and threw his body to the side. I turned to the scared little girl and nuzzled at her to encourage her to run. I turned back I noticed Blake was already here fighting a grey wolf but it was no challenge for Blake he quickly took care of it and seeked out another rouge. I caught a glimpse of Blake's mother trying to get all the women and children to safety I went over to protect them and make sure they wasn't followed. I heard a howl in the distance and the rouges began retreat running back towards the boarder, that was weird why would they just leave half way through a fight. I looked around for Blake taking in the injured people there was blood everywhere. I spotted Blake and I ran over to him he was already in human form and dressed he'd also got some clothes for me so I hid behind a nearby tree and shifted once changed I re-joined Blake who was now talking with his father "it doesn't make sense why just leave like that. why cause all this just to leave" Blake asked his father just as confused as I was " I'm not sure son there planning something I just don't what, they came here for a reason I'm sure of it and must have done what they needed to do, to just scalper like that" his dad said as Blake turned towards me and wrapped his arms around my waist "you alright babe" he asked pulling me tighter into him "yeah I'm good you" as I asked him as his mother came running from pack with panicked expression on her face screaming "they took her, they took Ava" as she dropped to her knees sobbing. Blake's father ran over her wrapping his arms around her trying to console her already breaking heart. I turned towards Blake he was really quiet and pale his eyes full of anger and looked black, his body was tense and his hands balled into fists "Blake" I said almost a whisper but he didn't respond. He just stood watching his mother and father comfort each other he then turned to me with his cold expressionless eyes and nodded his head towards the house and he began walking I followed carefully behind him as got to his mother and father he told them to come to the office with us.

All of us in the in the office. I sat uncomfortably in the solid oak chair while Blake paced from one end of the room to the other and his mother and father sat on the sofa comforting each other when his mother quickly reached into her back pocket and pulled what looked like a letter "Taylor sweetie I found this in Avas room it's got your name on it" she said passing it to me. with shaking hands. I took the letter from her and looked up at Blake who had now stopped pacing and was looking back at me with those cold black eyes I know now why people felt intimidated by him. I opened the letter and of course it was from Calvin

If your mate wants to see his sister

Again he's going to have to trade

a certain little freak for her he's got

till 6pm tomorrow

Love C x

P.S and don't think he will choose

You over blood I'm already excited

About all the fun I'm going to have

With You.

I just sat there staring at the letter, I could already feel the tears sliding down my cheeks "Taylor" Blake said abruptly making my head snap up to look at him, I passed him the letter I already knew his choice before he read it. Ava was his sister and id be upset if he didn't choose her it was how it should be I wouldn't of been angry or upset "it's ok Blake I don't mind I'm not going to make you choose between your sister and me" I said as more tears slid down my cheeks. Blake scrunched the paper up and turned to his desk letting out a loud roar as he flipped his desk across the room making me flinch and growled "we need to come up with a plan".
