My Only Weakness

chapter 2

I woke up to the sound of voices. I listened, keeping my eyes closed. 

"She is my mate! What do you expect me to do??? Who would do such horrible things to her...." 

"You need to relaxe. She's going to be fine." Kevin responded reasuringly. My mate growled at him. "She is not fine! she's been beaten, raped, and scarred. I should have gotten to her sooner... I could have saved her..."

"Ryan, it's going to be okay," Kevin says. "She isn't going to reject you, I promise."

"... If you say so..." my mate says quietly. 

I opened my eyes, looking up at them. My head starts to pound. I feel the bandages around my stomach and legs. I see kevin standing by the door and my mate, Ryan, is looking out the window. I cough, drawing their attention to the fact that I am awake. 

"Caylee.... I am so so sorry..." Ryan says, sitting down next to me and grabbing my hand. I flinch, and a look of pain passes through his eyes. "I would never hurt you... You are my mate. I love you more than anything in this world." I looked at him wide-eyed. I can't remember the last time someone said they loved me...

"I'll just give you two some space then..." Kevin says, exiting the room. I grip onto Ryans hand, my head spinning. "Whe-Where am I?" I whisper, tears threatening to spill. "You're in the pack house. You're safe now. No one is going to hurt you ever again." 

I nod. "Y-you're m-my mate?" I ask, a little bit louder. He smiles at me. "Yes darling, I'm your mate." I pull away from him. "Wh-Why are y-you being s-so nice to m-me... Y-you should hate m-me... Everyone h-hates me..." He looks shocked.

He reaches out and brushed the hair out of my face. "Why would anyone hate you? You are beautiful, Caylee." tears begin to slide down my face. I shake my head no, and look away. Why is he lying to me? 

"Caylee, look at me." I don't. His hand is on my chin and I gasp. He pulls my head to face him. "Don't you ever doubt yourself. Not ever. You are perfect." He wipes the tears off my face. I've only known this man for 10 minutes and he's already made my life. 

I look into his eyes. "T-thank y-you for s-saving me..." I whisper. he presses hs forhead to mine. "I'm so glad I did." For the first time in years, I smile.

The next few days are a blur as I slowly begin to heal. Ryan has never left my side while I'm awake. We've learned so much about each other in the 5 days that we've known each other you might've thought we grew up together. I'm getting more comfortable talking to people, especially Ryan. I don't stutter as much as I did when I first arrived.

"Favorite movie?" 

"Carrie," He says. I giggle. "So, you're a horror movie type of guy. I like it." He laughs. "What's yours?" I look down at our hands. 

"I-I've only seen a few movies in my life... But my favorite would have to be The Lion King." He nods his head approvingly. "That's the only movie that can make a grown man cry. Respect." I laugh. He's adorable. 

"Favorite color?" I ask. "Well it was orange, but after seeing your eyes, I've had a change of heart. I like blue." I blush. "Are you flirting with me?" he smiles. "That depends, do you aporove?" I giggle and nod my head. "What's your favorite color, Caylee?"

"I like green... the color of the trees. I missed running through the forest, and thinking about it made me feel a little better." He grabbed my hands and held them in his. "When you are well again, I promise that we can go running whenever you want." I smile. Suddenly, I remember the girl in the car.

"Umm, Ryan? W-what happened to t-the other girl? S-s-samantha?" He looks into my eyes. '"Well first of all, she's recovering. She was in a very similar state that you were actually. It turns out she's Davids mate! she's 17, and she looks a lot like you...." he gets quiet. 

"Ryan? What is it?" he won't look me in the eyes. "Ryan. Tell me what's going on." 

"Caylee... The only way to know for sure is by a DNA test... And we wanted to wait till you were awake..." 

"Ryan. Hurry up and tell me."

"We think she is your sister."
