Alpha's Lone Mate

The Truth

 It was currently 2:18 in the afternoon and Coby and Jordan were playing Black Ops 2 and I was sitting on the couch leaning against Coby. Every once in a while he would ask me if I wanted to play but I just shook my head, I enjoyed watching them. He was so cute when he got mad and started pouting, and when he was focused he would frown really hard, and when he got on a streak he would perk up and put on a little lop-sided smile. Goddess Sky stop thinking that you don't deserve him.

Stop saying that! He's your mate and he loves you! my wolf growls at me.

Fine I say back and I pout but I guess I was putting on a pouty face for real too because Coby was looking at me funny.

"What are you thinking about?"

"N-nothing" I stutter.

"Don't make me get into your head." 

"Nope I'm good." He reaches forward to grab me but Jordan freaks out and starts going off about PDA.

"Chill bro, like you've never done anything"

"I don't wanna talk about it Coby" he says punching Coby in the arm. "Go love on each other some other time" I froze in embarrassment. I'm positive my face was on fire and the color of a tomato. Coby brings me in close for a hug instead.

"Oh and Sky?" Coby adds on.

"Yo" I reply.

"You need to get up early on Monday, your going to start school." I panic, no this can't happen. I can't go back to school. I feel another anxiety attack coming on, crap.

"Shhh, it's okay." he sooth's "I'll be right there with you the whole time, I'll never leave you." he accents never and I feel my heart rate quicken. "And Sky" crap "you're telling me everything after this round." Crap, he's going to hate me, I was a slave at my old pack. He is going to see the real me now, the dirty piece of trash I am. I'm positive he purposely made the round shorter because before I knew it I was being dragged to our room.

"Do I have to talk about this?"

"Yes you have to tell me. If I'm going to be your mate one, I'm going to need to help and protect you and two, I need to know you."

"What if I don't tell you"

"Then I'll get into your thoughts."

"Please don't" I whine.

"I won't if you would just come out and tell me" he smirks at what he calls his cleverness.

"Fine" I pout and cross my arms. He picks me up and sets me on the bed staring deep into my eyes. 

"It all started when I was 6 which was when I first shifted, and kids were making fun of me." I pause not liking to see Coby clenching his jaw. I hold his hand.

"Go on" he says through his clenched teeth. 

"My dad was mad that I wouldn't fight back so that's when he started beating me. First he started with just punching me, then kicking, then whipping, then he started to starve me." I felt a tear roll down me cheek. "My mom didn't know about this, she just assumed that I got all that from going out in the woods, I did that a lot. 5 years later the Winter Blood pack attacked us. I was in my room with all the doors locked. I saw my brother and my mom both get ripped to shreds. Moments later my dad walked in with the alpha behind him. My dad gave me to him after he hit me one last time across the face. They put a sack over my head so I couldn't see where we were going and knocked me out. Until the day I got here I was being beat and tortured and starved. No one respected me, I was the pack slave and they treated me like dirt." It looked like Coby was going to kill someone. I grab onto his hand and start rubbing it with my thumb hoping it would calm him down a little.

"I swear when I get my hands on that freak I am going to make him suffer until the day he dies."

"Coby... It's not worth it, he's nothing."

"But he hurt you! You could have died..." his eyes were starting to turn black, I had to act fast. I crash my lips onto his before he could get out another word and I feel him relax. I wouldn't tell him anymore today, and I defiantly wasn't telling him about my first mate rejecting me before I even saw him. I look into his beautiful eyes as we pull apart and smile, how did I get so lucky. He looks back into my eyes with such passion and love.

"I would really like to get into your head, it would be a lot easier than seeing you cry, and hearing it out of your mouth. I would be less likely to freak out on you."

"Fine, but just don't get mad."

Coby's POV

"But he hurt you! You could have died..." I was getting mad. Before I could say anymore I felt her lips crash onto mine, calming me down instantly. We pull apart, I look into her beautiful grey eyes.

"I would really like to get into your head, it would be a lot easier than seeing you cry, and hearing it out of your mouth. I would be less likely to freak out on you." I beg her.

"Fine, but just don't get mad." yes, I couldn't stand not knowing what she was thinking whenever she started crying. I'm her mate I needed to know these things. Instantly I'm already enraged. She had a first mate, he rejected her and didn't even giver her a chance. When I find out who he is, he's a dead man. Her father, her old "alpha" all these thoughts go through her head constantly.

"You're safe now baby. No one, and I mean no one will hurt you. I know about your first mate too." I reach over and hug and sooth her as she starts breaking down. Her tears stain my shirt but I don't care, I will be there  for her no matter what happens.
