Loved and Abused

Chapter 2

Sasha's POV

unedited

-------------------------------------------

How can I have two mates? I thought as I walked down the stairs into Elenor's kitchen. 

"Hey sweetie. Are you hungry?" Elenor asked. " I'm famished. Could you hear us up there?" I asked. I really hope they couldn't hear anything. Please say no. 
" Sweetheart, you're the reason we woke up. You guys really need to get some sound proof walls. We sleep in the room right next to you. Of course we could!!" She giggled. " As long as they're happy, I can sleep through it ."" Sorry we woke you and Henry up." " There is no we to it sweetie. It was all you!" She laughed. "Ugghhh" Why did my mates room have to be so close to their parents room?After breakfast James, Eric and I walked towards the school. It was a pretty quite walk all you could hear was the clopping of our feet. This morning was magical. I can't help but wonder if it would always be like that. I felt Eric grab my hand and pull me closer to him, but as soon as he did that James followed suit. The next thing I know I am being pulled back and forth in between the two. After about two minutes of doing this my arms were starting to hurt, so I yelled " Stop it!! You can both hold my hand! Just please stop tugging on my arms. They are already sore."

James smirked, " You should be. It means we did it right." Eric started to laugh like a maniac and agreed. I have had it! I took off into the woods only stopping to shift. I took off my clothes and shifted. I grabbed my clothes and my backpack, then took off. I got to school and changed behind an old oak tree, with everything in tow I entered the school. I walked straight into Mrs. Williams class. "Hello Sasha. How was your weekend?" Uh-oh I never thought about how to answer that question. It's not like I can just say I was having sex with my mates all weekend. "I don't think I needed to know that Sasha, but okay. Tell me was it good?" She asked with an excited face. I sat there shocked and dumbfounded. I can't believe I just said that out loud. " Yeah. My mates are very.... flexible. I can't believe I actually said that to you! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-" I was shortly cut off by her telling me it's not my fault. She said " It just goes to show how long it lasted. I did the same thing with my mate." My image of her is now ruined. She is this nice older lady with blonde hair and some wrinkles from smiling so much. She kind of had an innocent appearance. All of that innocent stuff just flew out of the window. I'm glad no one was in the room. I love this class, my science teacher is awesome. I wonder what class James and Eric are in? Is it possible that I can have two mates? Me? Of all people! I mean I have heard of it but, I mean it's really rare to have two mates. I'll have to look into it. "Sasha? Can you tell me what this is called" Mrs. Williams asks while pointing to this squiggly picture. "Ugh. It's a type of bacteria. Right?" I say with plenty of confidence. Being an alpha has its perks, but I'm just reasonably smart. That's just from a lot of studying and reading. My desk is in the front room, right next to the teacher. The door creaked open and Mrs. Venable had stuck her head through the door, she summoned Mrs. Williams outside of the class. The teacher walked back into the class with a grim look on her face and said "Sasha you are needed in the office." I looked at her with a confused look on my face. "I am terribly sorry Alpha." she whispered as I walked by. What could I have done? I don't understand, why would she say that? I walked out the door and headed towards the office. I walked up to the clerk and asked "Who requested me?" She pointed to the dark empty room and said " She'll be in, in a moment." I walk into the room and waited for a minute or two. It felt like hours until she had showed up. My mother and the counselor walked into the room. Great. The only time my mother is out of the house is when she isn't drunk. And she's always drunk. This can't be good. We sat in silence for about thirty minutes, the counselor  was the first to speak. "Sasha, you need to hear what your mother has to say. Go on Miranda." she gestured to my mother. " Your father's....... dead." she gave a smirk in my direction when the counselor wasn't looking. That can't be true, she has to be lying. She has to be! It felt like my heart was just ripped out of my chest, torn into a million pieces, and run over by an eighteen wheeler. " How?" I asked with tears threatening to fall. My mother is staring at me trying her hardest to keep from smiling. "A hunting accident. He was shot." she apparently couldn't hide her smile, because she let it all go and gave a full smile. It took everything in me to keep from lunging at her from across the room. The counselor said something that couldn't hear. I was to busy trying to devise a plan to kill Miranda. "-You have the rest of the day off if you like."  "No, I'm fine. I'll stay here and finish the day. Thank you." And with that I walked out of the office. I walk  into the girls bathroom and just broke down. I know who killed my dad, it was Miranda. It had to be! She must have found out what we are. But she was his mate! Why would she do that to her other half? As I walked to first period I passed Eric's class. I knocked on the door and walked in and headed straight to Mrs. Seymour. " I need to see Eric Derango, Mrs. Seymour." I said using my alpha tone. "Might I ask why,  Alpha?" she questioned. " I need to talk to him for private matters." "Oh, uh, okay. Eric please go with Ms. Reed." " Alright." and with that he stood up from his desk in the back and walked up to me. I motioned towards the hall and stepped out. I pulled him into the janitors closet. "My dad's dead." I said bluntly. "What do you mean, Alpha Reed is dead. He's like the fiercest Alpha out there." he replied, shock laced in his tone. "Miranda killed him. She said it was a hunting accident and he was shot. But I can't bring myself to believe that. She is a hunter after all. She must have figured out what he was. But what I don't understand is why she would kill her own mate?  It makes no sense." I stopped to let the information sink in. Eric stared at me in disbelief. "If she was his mate she couldn't have killed him without a pain of some sort." he replied. "I should probably get back to class. I'll talk to you about it later." He gave me a peck on the lips and told me bye, then he left me alone in the closet. After a couple of minutes I finally got up the courage to head back to class. I walked down the black, white, and gold hallways in silence. That would explain why all the teachers are saying Alpha instead of my name. When I arrived at Mrs. Williams  class every werewolf looked at me with sorrow in their eyes. Tonight we will have a coronation, so I can step in as the new Alpha. Otherwise other  packs will take it as a sign of weakness, the pack can only survive for so long without an Alpha to lead them. Alphas keep the order in the pack. Mrs. Williams walks up to me and gives me a big hug as i walk past her. "I'm so sorry Sash." "It's fine Mrs.Williams, I- I just need to get through today first." "You'll be a great leader,sweetheart." "Thanks." I reply and she let me go, I went back to my seat and filled in the notes I missed from leaving.
