The Lost Mate

chapter 1

"Mommy what's wrong?" My mother just smiled down at me and said, "nothing baby. Were going to play a game. No matter what you hear you don't come out of the closet." She put her pointer finger against her lips and slowly closed the door. I was engulfed in complete darkness. I couldn't hear anything for awhile, until I heard a howl. Then I knew we were under attack and this wasn't a game. I knew that my mother, brother, and father where in danger and they where trying to save me.

I grabbed the phone that I always kept in my coat pocket and called my friend Damien. It rang three time and he picked up all excited,"hey valley whatcha doing bestie?" I started to sob uncontrollably and then I heard the worry in his voice "val? Val? What's wrong hun?"

"Damie were under attack by the bad people! Please help us." I started to smell blood and hear cries of pain " I I I smell blood damie its so strong..."

"I'll get my dad! Stay safe valley please stay saf-" he was cut off by my scream when the door opened roughly.

I dropped the phone and backed up against the wall, hoping that the clothes would hide me from the person, silly for me thinking that. I felt a ruff hand on my leg and it yanked me out of the closet. As I tried to kick away from the person I felt nails dig into my leg and I let out a sharp scream hoping someone would save me. "Hold still you little brat! It won't hurt as much if you don-" as he was talking I finally turned around and looked him in the eyes and once our eyes connected he cut himself off. "Ana? Ana my darling? How is this possible?"

"Wha... What are you talking about?" I was so confused. Who was this strange man and why is he calling me ana? I shook a bit scared of what would happen to me. "I'm not ana" I whispered but I knew he was a wolf I could smell it on him so I knew he heard me. He ignored me and picked me up like baby and he rocked me back and forth. I was so confused but I kept quit. That is until he walked down my stairs and out my front door.

As soon as we got outside I felt a strong wave of wind and I shivered. I felt safe and on danger in this mans arms but the cold go the vest of me and I pushed myself against his chest to keep warm and he held me tightly as I shivered. "Are you cold little one?" I nodded too cold to say anything. He rubbed my arms until a man walk over to us. "Jarrad go get a blanket now!" I whimpered and he rubbed my arms again. He kept walking out into the woods and i heard an ear piecing scream so I stiffened and I covered my ears whimpering. "Shhh everything is fine sweetheart" he kept rubbing my arms and walking.

He stopped and stiffened. I turned my head and started whimpering trying to get away from the man holding me. The site in front of me making me cry and scream. I thrashed around digging my nails into his arm trying to get away. I tried to keep myself from shifting because my family told me to never let anyone know can shift because I'm not supposed to be able to. "What are you doing?! Stop struggling darling you'll hurt yourself!"

"Just let me go!!! I want my mommy and daddy!!!" The man just held me tighter. I let out a loud sob knowing that my parents and big brother was dead. The smell of blood burning my nose. Whimpers kept coming out of my mouth. I quit struggling when I became too tired to put up more of a fight. "Shhh daddy is right hear and mommy is at home my little ana I'm so happy we have found you again," he screamed all of the sudden," Jarrad where the hell are you with that damn blanket?!" I whimpered and gave up and just pressed myself back up against his chest and sighed at the slight warmth coming from his chest. Soon the guy, Jarrad came up to the man holding the blanket. "Hear alpha sorry it took so long." He bowed and hand the man the blanket and I teared up at the sight it was the blanket my mom, dad, and brother made for me for Christmas. The man wrapped me up in the blanket and hugged me tightly. I sighed at the new found warmth. I heard a high pitched voice. "Want me to kill the little brat for you alpha? I would love to sink my teeth into fresh meat about now." The man stiffened and slowly put me down.

I felt me eyes go wide as the woman stalked towards and I had no other choice but to shift to protect myself. I felt the familiar snap of my bones knowing I was forming into my wolf and knowing my wolf would protect me as soon as the change was finished. I felt everything snap into place. I howled at the moon. I felt myself growl and snap at the petty woman. The woman froze with fear Anthe man smirked and nodded his head. My wolf sniffed and said in our mindlink 'as if I need his permission' and I replied with 'be nice to him he could've killed us but he didn't' we felt a kick to our side and whimpered. The man growled and in a flash he ripped out the woman's throat. He slowly turned and spoke softly " come here little wolf here baby girl come to me." For some reason I went to him even if he wasn't my alpha he did save my life maybe he wouldn't be so bad.

We walked slowly to him and he took his shirt off and grabbed the blanket. He rubbed my eyes and scratched my head. "Shift back for me please" I looked into his eyes knowing for sire I can trust him now with the red specks in his eyes. Knowing red meant love, care ness, and protection. I shifted back and he put his shirt on me and covered me with the blanket. I sighed I guess he's my daddy now. "You've had a rough day let's get you home to mommy" he picked me up and I felt myself softly touching my fingers to his face. Noticing the scars, dimples, and roughness of his face. He had two scars one on his chin and another on his left eyebrow. His hair was thick and black. Just like mine I thought. His eyes were pricing blue and his likes help a proud smile. Maybe this wouldn't be too bad but ill miss my family a lot. Especially my bestie Damien we were so close. I know he will miss me too. "D daddy?"

"Yes babygirl?" He looked down at me expectingly. "Will I ever see damie again?" I looked in his eyes and he help confusion on his face. "Who's that?" He tilted his face. "He's the alphas son. He's my best friend." I stared into his eyes and a look of hatred came across his face and he held me closer to him and he said a simple "maybe one day" and that made me have hope. He smiles "you look tired get some rest itll be awhile before we get home sweetie." He rocked me slightly as he kept walking in the wood and I slowly feel asleep in his arms feeling only little pain for the lost of my family. It'll be okay I thought, it has to be. With that I let darkness consume me.
