The abused mate.

14

I go to the bathroom and walk back out to the bed and James is gone. I shake my head and lay back on the bed, i grab my book that is on the night stand. I start to read when i hear soft crying. I look out of my room and see a little boy sitting across the yard in the forest, looking tired. I strip and run to him , i kneel down next to him. " hello. whats your name?" he looks at me a sniffles slightly, in a soft voice the child replies, " Carson." he looks into my eyes. he jumps up, suprised. " you are the luna!" i smile slightly and nod my head. " oh my gosh! im so sorry miss luna! im Carson, Carson Rivers. Im five." he holds out five fingers, I smile at his rambling. " Carson, honey calm down." i say, my voice stern but gentle. he plops down on the floor again. his eyes wild with excitement. he smiles at me, his body shaking. " Okay buddy, where did you come from? where is your mommy?" his smile instantly turns into a sad frown, his eyes tear up as he looks my in the eyes, " im from the Everest pack. My mommy is really sick." he points to a body laying next to him, " and we didnt have the right stuff to make her better but my papa said that if he left and didnt come back for three weeks to call your pack and get her better." he smiles again, " you are gonna make her better right luna? and my daddy will come back and he'll love my mommy and me again right luna? he has been gone for soooo long." his face lights up. i feel my eyes start to tear, i wipe them quickly. " okay listen to me sweetheart. I am gonna take you to the alpha okay?" his face falls once again, " but luna... he is big and scawy." his voice trembles. I shake my head. I smile at him, " no hes not honey. trust me." i hold out my hand and he grabs it and we start to walk back to the house,  he stops me, " what about my mommy?" I call max to come get her. We walk into James' study and he looks up, Carson jumps behind me. " who is that?" he asks his voice loud and confused. Carson wimpers, " James, shhh." i tell him sternly. i turn around and wrap my arms around Carson. " Its okay honey." i stand and glare at james. he looks suprised at my face, " what?" i point to Carson, " you scared him, asssss..." i stop, " meanie." James smiles for a split second, " okay im sorry." he walks up to me and kisses my cheek before bending down, to Carsons level. " hey little man, dont be scared, its okay." Carson smiles and him and hugs my leg. I explain everything to James while Mackenzy takes Carson to the kitchen to get him some food. James takes action fast calling max and the pack doctor. 

I bring Carson to my room after he is full and put him down to sleep, my mothering nature taking me over. i walk back down to the kitchen and see james sitting at the table, his head in his hands, i rub my hand along his back, he visiballly relaxes to my touch, he looks up at me with tears in his eyes and a sad frown. "Carson's mom died a couple of minutes ago, hes and orphan now." James whispers quietly. i sob and shake my head. i fall to my knees, Oh Carson. James picks me up and carries my to the couch. he holds me as i stop crying. " We are keeping him." i say quietly into his neck. James pulls back, "wait what?!" he stands up. " We are keeping him." i repeat louder and clearer. " No we are not." he scoffs, " we are sending him back to his pack." i stand too, getting angry. " the fuck we are!" James looks suprised for a second before glaring at me. "courtney, no." he shakes his head. " James, he is five years old! we cant just send him back to be all alone!" i cry with tears in my eyes again. James walks up and try to wrap his arms around me, i back away, his hurt showed on his face. i almost crumbled, i held my ground. He straghtened, he glared once again.  " im the alpha. no means no." he said in his alpha voice i hold my head high. " Carson is staying." i say in my luna voice. He backs away slightly, before walking up to me. ive never seen him this angry. not because of me. There is a fire in his eyes, as in mine. He grabs my arm in a tight grip. " no. means. no." he says as he squeezes my arm, i wince slightly. I pull mu arm away, i look at it and see a slight bruise starting to form. 

I turn and bolt out the door.
