Abused Mate

Dreams, or nightmares?

"Leah! Get your sorry ass down here, where's breakfast!?" I heard from downstairs, my blood went cold, my alarm didn't wake me up, oh no! I threw on a tank top and shorts as quickly as I could, and ran down the stairs, nearly falling over my own feet with how fast I was running, and immediately went to the kitchen. I heard heavy footsteps coming towards me, I almost cowered away, but I remember what happened last time, I didn't dare look at him, because I knew if I dared to, he'd most likely punch me in the ribs.

I lowered my head, not daring to meet his eyes, "I'm sorry sir, I overslept, the food will be ready in a moment."

He growled at me, I flinched at the sound, almost moving away, but again, I remembered what happened last time, "It fucking better be, unless you wanna wake up in the hospital!" He growled under his breath, before returning to his seat, I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. With how often I cooked for him, his wife, Jessica, and their son, Kyle, I was pretty fast in the kitchen, so I was done rather quickly with the meal, just before Kyle and Jessica made it downstairs. I ate my breakfast in silence, at the table, while everyone else ate in the living room, I tried to stay away from them as much as possible, so I don't make them angry, they always hit me, and insult me, and if I try to stand up against any of them, they team up on me, so I've learned better than that. I just hope, that one day, I'll meet my mate, and he'll save me from this hell. I live in a rather large pack, no where near the largest, but big, none the less, my mom and dad were betas, probably the only reason I'm even still alive, I was adopted by one of the families in the pack, the pack that blames me, for my parents death, even though I nearly died myself that night...

Flashback 

"Mommy, daddy, where are we going?" Asked the small, seven year old version of me, my hands linked with those of my parents as they swayed happily back and forth as we walked through the woods.

"Oh, no where in particular sweet heart, mommy just thinks you should learn these woods, it'll help you, when you meet your wolf for the first time." Stated my mom, smiling down at me.

"I cant wait to meet my wolf momma, I bet she'll be pretty, just like yours!" I exclaimed, I loved my moms wolf form, a beautiful snow white wolf, she looked as if she had the feathers of a dove.

"Hey, what about me!?" My dad asked, jokingly.

"I don't like brown daddy! Brown reminds me of dirt!" I then stuck my tongue out at him, and he replied with a surprised gasp.

"Now that's not nice! My fur is golden!" 

"Nope, brown."

"Gold!"

"Brooown." I replied with a sing songy voice, just then, we heard a twig snap, and both my parents looked to where it came from. They started sniffing the air, and dad let out a growl.

"Leah, I want you to turn around, and run, and don't you dare look back, you understand?" He whispered, but I heard him.

"Huh, why daddy?" Just then, a growl sounded from the bush.

"GO NOW!" I turned and ran as fast as I could, I didn't understand at the time, but later, I learned that they were attacked by rogue wolves, it was mid-day, so my parents thought it was safe, we weren't even outside the border, but a few powerful rogues had managed to break through our defenses, I cried all night, I went home, and stayed there, on my bed, not eating, or drinking anything, for at least a week.

END OF FLASHBACK

I looked at my plate to realize I had finished eating, I took my plate to the sink, and did all the dishes from breakfast, I got ready for school, and left. I preferred running, to taking the bus, simply because I didn't want to see all the people on the bus who had their mates, who were leading happy lives, and also because everyone treats me like shit. As I got to first class, I took my seat in the far back of the room, and rested my head on the desk, quickly drifting off to sleep, as I often did.

Leah's Dream

I was in a dark, misty forest, I couldn't tell where though. "Hello!" I shouted into the darkness, and I heard rustling in the bushes, my heart started racing, but I was attracted to the bush for some reason. "H-hello?" I asked again, just then, a large, gorgeous man steps out of the bush, he was a solid 6'4", made of solid muscle that could have been crafted of marble, he had a black tank top on, putting his broad muscles on full display, as well as black pants, that hung loosely on his waist, showing off the bottom of his "V" cut. I gulped at the sight, this man was made of pure, untainted, eyecandy! But he also held a very intimidating aura, he noticed me, and slowly made his way forward, almost as if stalking his prey, I instinctively backed away, earning a low growl, I couldn't help but whimper at the sound.

The next word that left his mouth, made my blood run cold, "Mine!" I blinked slowly, then, in his place, stood a massive black wolf, with glowing red eyes, that looked like they could burn your very soul. I backed away into a tree, when my back hit it, I slid down, and sat on the ground, as my legs no longer worked, his snout nearly met my nose, and that's when I woke up.

Real world

I woke up with a slight gasp, though thankfully, no one noticed. "Just, a dream?" I asked myself, "There's, there's no way that was a dream, it was too real..." I continued, hardly paying any attention to the teacher, the rest of the day, I was trying as hard as I could to remember that face, to see if I had ever seen him before, I eventually came to the conclusion that I hadn't, I would certainly remember someone like that! The rest of the day was mostly uneventful, as soon as I got home, I cooked dinner, did my chores, and went straight to bed, not wanting to have to be around Jessica, Kyle, or James...
