Trust lost... Trust gained

Mate!

Lily's POV

I lay in the dark, curled up in the corner shaking. Jack had been particularly rough with me last night and it was freezing. I only had a shirt made from coarse material on and it only reached to my mid thigh. My hope had died a long time ago but I never stopped trying to escape this hell hole.

The sound of what sounded like 3 pairs of feet dragged me out of my thoughts. I flinched and lay curled up, wondering what Jack wanted this time. The light was switched on and I saw two men and one woman I didn't recognise. The woman was the first to spot me and gasped. She rushed over and broke the lock on the cage. "Peter! Come here and help this young lady. I'll mind link brother!"

The man, Peter I think his name was, approached me and gently picked me up. He put a hand under my shoulders and the other under my knees while instructing me to put my hands around his neck. So I did. "He said bring her up," announced the girl. Peter must have felt me shaking because he bent his head down and whispered in my ear, so only I could hear, "It'll be ok." We made our way upstairs and we emerged out a door into the outside world. The light was blinding. After 3 years in the dark, my eyes were temporarily blinded. I heard the woman and two men with me gasp as they saw my condition in the light.

My head started feeling dizzy and the world started going blurry. The last thing I remember was a really hot guy lock eyes with me and realisation hitting me as he shouted out "MATE!"

Then, the world went dark.

Peter's POV

This girl weighed nothing as I picked her up. When we emerged outside, I couldn't stop a gasp escaping my lips. She was so pale, bruises, cuts and gashes covering her skin everywhere. She was so thin, scarily thin but she was beautiful. I could still see her beauty even through all her pain, sadness and plentiful marks. Then, as Dylan approached us, I saw them lock eyes. I saw the girls eyes widen as Dylan shouted out "MATE!" And rushed toward us; or more specifically, towards her.

Dylan's POV

I was just checking the battle field for anymore of my pack members when I smelt a wonderful smell, vanilla. It was her! My mate! I turned to see my brother, Peter, carrying a small, delicate woman in his arms. She looked so pale, sickly yet breathtakingly beautiful. As our eyes locked, her eyes widened as I shouted out one word "MATE!" And rushed to her, my beauty, my mate.
