Four Abused Mates| DISCONTINUED

Chapter 12

Constance's POV

The guys lead us back to their house.

We were all silent but I could tell our mates where mind-linking the whole way.

Astrid still hadn't talked or communicated and I was starting to get worried. She kept her gaze on the ground as we walked, her arms crossed in a nervous way.

When we got there, I saw something draped in a black cover waiting for us.

"What's that?" Sora asked.

"I got it for my mate," James replied, looking at Aaliyah.

He pulled the cover off, revealing a bright red motorcycle.

"Cool," Aaliyah breathed. "A Gooichi Ducati 1098."

"Well?" James asked, "do you like it?"

He really needs to ask that? Sora mused. She's wanted one for years.

Aaliyah went over and started examining the motorcycle. She scoffed. I could see it was fake but if you didn't know her well enough, it would seem real.

"No, I don't like it," She said.

James sighed. Just how gullible is he?

"I love it!" Aaliyah cried.

James looked up. He had a huge smile on his face. He went to hug Aaliyah but she smacked his hands away.

"No touchie," she scolded.

"Fine," James grumbled. "For now."

"Come on, we still gotta give the our mates their gifts," Zac said.

Sora squealed - actually squealed - with excitement.

We went inside, leaving Aaliyah and James outside since Aaliyah wanted to try out her new motorcycle.

My sisters and I sat on the couch.

"For my mate," Kaine said.

He picked up a box wrapped in a beautiful winter-themed wrapping paper and handed to me.

I opened the box to find a pair of figure skates.

"You should see the size of the ice rink the pack makes in the winter," Kaine said.

I smiled.

"Thank you," I murmured.

"My turn! My turn!" Sora cried like a highly impatient four year old.

Zac chuckled before handing her a box with wrapping paper covered in music notes.

Sora ripped wrapping paper off the box and opened it as fast as she could. Inside the box was a Bluetooth speaker.

"YES!" she yelled excitedly.

Sora threw her arms around Zac's neck, surprising him. He tensed, his eyes widen as he took in what was happening. Then he slowly wrapped his arms around Sora, obviously afriad of her reaction.

My sister didn't seem to mind Zac's arms around her.

James and Aaliyah came into the pack house. Aaliyah looked excited. Her hair was a little frizzy.

Then the song Human by Rag'n'bone Man started playing. Everyone looked at Sora, who had pulled away from Zac. She turned off her new speaker.

"What?" Sora asked.

I rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, I got these for my mate," Blake said.

He held up a box covered in pale blue wrapping paper that had different coloured dots on it.
