BREE's P.O.V:

Grudgingly, I slid out of my not so warm bed into my even chillier room. My clothes still lay ripped and discarded beneath my bed, but I refused to acknowledge that.

I moved to the bathroom and begin my everyday process of applying any makeup I could get my hands on to cover up the bruises that spread up my neck to my face.

I gently powdered beneath my eye finally removing any sign of the beatings I regularly received.

Walking slowly back to my room I grabbed the only clothes that covered my marks and my fat, an oversized jumper and some black joggers.

The clothes swamped me and I looked ridiculous but I couldn't care less right now. No one deserved to be forced to look at me... no one.

I got lost deep in thought, emotions overwhelming me as I desperately struggled to keep them back.

"BREE!? " my father screamed up the stairs

A shiver ran down my spine as I contemplated having to face my pack now or tonight but knowing I had little choice in the matter I trudged down the stairs only to find myself eye to eye with THEO?

...

THEOS P.O.V

I had never been more confused in my life. Actually, I take that back I have never been so upset in my life.

My mate, the one meant to love me for all eternity knew who I was to her yet chose to ignore it. How is that possible? You can't just choose to ignore the mate bond.

My mum seemed to have picked up on who Bree was from the look of love yet betrayal that had plastered itself upon my face.

However before she could say anything, Alpha Cooper of the Blood moon pack introduced us.

"Everyone, I wish to introduce to you the Merriweather pack who have recently moved to the area, I expect you all to welcome them graciously"

A warming smile spread across his face as he continued to go around introducing everyone.

However, it seemed to be that I was almost unaware of this as my eyes focused on my mate.

I had seen how she flinched whenever anyone came near her and I began to wonder what was wrong.

...

I walked with her to school, the sun beating down on the backs of our necks, I needed to speak to her, to ask her why she wouldn't accept me as her mate.

But every time I tried I couldn't get the words out and I ended up just staying dead silent making it even more awkward between us.

I stopped In front of her and grasped her hand only to feel more betrayed when she flinched away from me, anger masking her fear which it seemed only I could see beneath.

What had happened to my beloved mate?

"Sweetheart I must know, why will you not look at me like your mate?"

I realised I had uttered the words by accident as a reaction to her fear, my wolf was desperate to comfort her.

The pure shock that spread across her face was my confirmation that she had no idea what I was talking about. How had she not felt it?

"Mate?"

The soft word that escaped her plump peony lips made me crazy and a wave of emotions washed over me when I heard what she had to say next.

" but I.. I don't d.. deserve a. a mm..mate"

Tears welled up at her stunning emerald eyes but she blinked them back only to hide it all with an emotionless mask. As if she didn't mean to speak to me at all she shut up and turned away from me.

Anger took over as I struggled to understand who could've damaged such an innocent, strong girl like my mate.

I had to hug her, her touch was calming but as I did such I watched as she held back the pain and whimpered when my arm brushed against her ribs.

Shock hit me as the slight scent of blood mixed with her raspberry scent and my rage became uncontrollable as my face contorted with pain for my beloved mate.

'Mate hurt' my Wolf whimpered to me, the pain he felt at this ricocheting throughout my entire body.

He tried to take over and this time, I let him only as I saw my mate collapse, an abyss of darkness took over me, the anger had taken control...
