Scarred Luna (Completed But In Editing)

Chapter 5

Grey's p.o.v.

A small smile tugged at my lips as she moved closer to me in the bed. She was under the blanket and I was on top, she was so scared and I didn't want  to risk freaking her out any more. It had taken a lot of convincing to get her to move from the guest bedroom into my room, but she was safer here. I didn't want to have to post another pack member in her room to make sure nothing happened.

Slate purred when she laid a hand on my chest and nuzzled her nose against my collarbone  causing my breath to catch in my throat. I carefully wrapped my arms around her fragile body and pulled her even closer to me.

I worried about her heat, she had six more days until it began. When it started any rogue, mateless, males would be lurking at the borders, wanting to hurt me and gain a higher position. I also worried about what was going to happen when she went into heat, as she was already terrified of my touch and I knew she'd been abused. Would this cause problems or would her heat be enough to quench any fear she had? I didn't want to do anything she wasn't ready for.

Suddenly she began to tremble and thrash around in my arms. Her face contorted as if she was in pain and I debated on waking her.

"please, please no!", she sobbed as she struggled in my hold.

"Infinity Baby, it's ok, wake up!", I tried and failed miserably at waking her.

"Ryan please! No!", she whimpered. At the mention of the male's name I lost it.

"Mine!", I felt my canines extend as I pinned her down and inhaled her scent. I bit down on her neck and her eyes shot open. Tears fell down her face as she struggled against my hold.

"You're mine", A growl as I looked down at her.

When I released her from my hold she backed away so fast that she tumbled out of the bed, hitting the floor with a loud whimper. Her whole body was trembling as she dragged herself across the floor.

Shit, no, no, no, no

"Infinity-I-" I took a step toward her and she flinched, throwing her arms up in front of her face and yelped loudly.

I froze, "I-"

"You bit me", She whimpered holding her hand over the mark. I could see blood dripping from the wound.

As she pulled her hand back and looked at the blood she began gasp for air frantically and her eyes glazed over.

"Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!" She screamed, dragging herself further away and throwing anything she could get her hands on at me. Her glazed eyes glowed a brilliant red.

Look at what you've done, you're a monster

"Infinity?" I tried to take reach toward her.

"Stay away!" She threw a shoe and I winced as it collided with my shoulder.

She dragged herself into the bathroom and blocked the doors

"Infinity?" I whispered knocking on the door.

She was still screaming through the barricaded door and every knock was met with something heavy hitting the door.

Fuck can't you ever do anything right? She was finally starting to feel safe!

I walked away and loudly shut the door behind me.

"Mom, I did something really really stupid", I groaned as I entered the pack kitchen to find her cutting potatoes.

"Grey, what's wrong!", she asked putting her knife down and coming over to me. Good, she might stab me if she still had it in hand when I told her.

"I made a mistake", shame washed over me, god what would she think?

"Goodness Grey it can't be that bad. Now just sit down and tell me what happened.", she pushed me into a chair and sat down in front of me.

"I...I force marked Infinity", I folded my hands and looked down at my lap as I spoke.

"You what?!" she asked incredulously.

"I didn't mean to, she started having a nightmare and kept saying another guy's name, and I just.....I lost it", I whispered feeling the icy trickle of shame.

"Well, your mate is probably still mad at you, and if her body is rejecting the claim it's going to be very painful for her. Don't expect her to accept your apology immediately, or even want to talk to you. Greyson you have got to get a hold on that temper of yours," she looked at me scoldingly.

"I know, but I don't know how to make it up to her", I was hoping she had some kind of advice on this subject but I knew she wouldn't.

"You'll just have to wait until she's ready to forgive you. Now go and apologize to her", she glared at me before shooing me up the stairs.

My mom had always been like that, she wasn't the kind to comfort you when you did something stupid. No nonsense and straight to the point about your idiocy.

"Infinity?", I knocked lightly on the door. There was only a small whimper in response. The sound broke my heart, especially knowing that I was the cause of her pain.

I carefully pushed the door open and found her sitting on the bed. She tensed and scrambled back against the headboard.

"Is it still bleeding?", I asked from the doorway.

She turned away from me, clearly upset and in pain.

"Does it hurt", my voice was quiet as I assessed the damage I'd done.

She didn't answer but instead pulled the blanket tightly around herself, hiding herself from me.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you", I stepped through the door to but she flinched and began breathing heavily again.

"Get out," her voice was hoarse and shaky but the coldness of it was almost painful.

"I'm so sorry baby", I whispered.

God you really have fucked it up, she'll never feel safe with you again. It'll always be a gamble with your temper.

"Get. Out." Her eyes were glassy again, her voice solid ice as she stared past me.

I nodded, mom was right. It would be awhile before she forgave me, and she did not want me in here. With one last glance at her, I stepped out of the bedroom and gently closed the door.

I could sleep in the guest room, and I'd arrange to have someone else bring her food and anything else she may need, but I wasn't going to set foot back in that room until I was invited.
