The Fighter and Her Mate

Chapter 4: My Parents Death

 We stayed like for a few minutes and I had calmed down a bit. He, unexpectedly, started chuckling. "You don't talk much, do you?"

I shook my head, "Not when I've been taken against my will by my mate who I didn't even know."

He looked down at my hands, "Look, my wolf saw you and he just wanted you so badly. I'm sorry if I scared you but you'll love being here. With me." He looked back up at my face and gave me the granola bar.

I opened the package and took a bite out of the bar. Hunter leaned back, "So, tell me about yourself."

I sat up in confusion, "Well what do you want to know?"

"Full name?" 

"Brooklyn Ash", I said, with a smile. 

Hunter looked at me in confusion, "No last name?"

The memories flooded through my mind and I broke down again. 

Hunter held me closer to him, "What happened? Did I say something?" 

I shook my head as I told him my story.

*Memory*

My parents were rushing around the house, trying to prepare to evacuate. Our pack had been attacked by rogues. They were taking our pack apart and keeping them hostage. My bag had already been packed with a note in case we get split up. My parents were shoving food and supplies in bags to carry. Once my parents were done, they kissed one last time before we had to go.

My mom looked at me and smiled. She approached me and kneeled down to my level. 

"Ok honey. We have to go now and when I say run, you need to run as fast as you can. Just know, if we get split up, we will always love you", my mother spoke with tears streaming down her face. 

My family hugged each other and my parents strapped on their bags.

My parents kissed my forehead and lead me to our back door, which leads to a forest in the back. Rogues had just broken into our house when we started to run. I ran faster than my parents and far past them. When I stopped to let them catch up, I looked back to see them being taken away and rogues running toward me. My parents struggled and told me to run.

I did as I was told and ran, as far as I could. When I reached a road, I stopped to cry. I slumped down on the side of the road and cried. When I heard a car stop by me, I shot up, still crying. A man, aka my Alpha, approached me. I gave him the note and he took me in.

*Memory fades*

"So, I don't even know if I have a last name anymore. Or if I have a family", I said, a tear streaming down my face. 

Hunter wiped the tear away and kneeled in front of the chair I had moved to while I was telling my story. 

"Well, how about you take my last name?" 

My eyes widened and I moved away from his touch.

"I don't plan on getting married anytime soon", I said, knowing it would hurt him. 

Instead, Hunter pulled me off the chair and wrapped his arms around my waist. 

"Is that really how you talk to your mate?", he whispered, "Do you want a punishment?" 

My eyes widened at his proposal and tried to pull out of his grasp, but he held me to his chest.
