Emma's POV:
I've been hiding out in the break room for a little over an hour now. Wait why am I hiding out in the break room when I can just use the backdoor to leave I think to myself. I gather up my things and bid my manaver goodbye while slipping out through the back door. I used to think those ladies were nice until they went an almost dragged me out of the cafe. I mean who does that to someone you've just met.

On my way home I put on my black hoodie over my uniform to hopefully disguise myself in the night and because of how cold it is. Though the hoodie doesn't really help with the cold since it's full of holes. But I can't complain it keeps me warm enough.

I'm one block away from my apartment when I hear a car pull up behind me. In a frightened haze I sprinted to my apartment. I reach my door and unlock it stepping in quickly. As I close the door a foot wedges it self in between preventing me from closing it. Before they can get in I reach up and lock the chain door lock preventing them from opening it further.

Paris's POV:
"What are you doing?" Hunter asked as I rolled down the window letting the cold wind in

"It's so we can smell her when she gets out or are you afraid of getting a cold?" I ask being sarcastic and roll my eyes at her. She grabs my chin and forces me to look at her.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me" she growled in my ear pulling me closer to her

I slapped her hand away and growled at her "You know that doesn't scare me"

Her eyebrow raises and she starts to smirk at me "I know sweetheart" she says while getting closer to my ear

"Just think that we might get another mate and by the looks of her a very strong willed girl. Though that can be changed for us." She whisper in my ear sending shivers down my spine.

About an hour or two later the refreshing smell was mixed into the wind filling our car with the wonderful scent. Hunter immediately sat up and looked towards the door. Though no one was coming in or out.

She smirks "I think our mate is trying to avoid us don't you?" she starts the car and we follow the scent. We were slowly driving when we see a small figure wearing ragged clothing walking on the sidewalk.

Through the strong smell we already know it's her. Hunter parks the car off to the side. I see the girl suddenly freeze and sprints off into one of the buildings. Though through our alpha genes we were right behind her as soon as she reached her door. As she goes to close the door Hunter slide her foot in preventing it to close.

Hunter's POV:
I smirk to myself when she locks the chain lock of her door. I could easily break it and get in with the flick of my finger.

But I get a better idea "Hey sweetie can you let us in" I ask sickly sweet

I can see her physically shaking and turn back to Paris who gives me a curt nod also smirking to herself

Emma's POV:
I start shaking when and tey to push the door hider trying to get it closed to no avail.

"P-p-please l-leave" I stutter out still holding the door

I stand there for a couple minutes hoping they would leave. When the door chain lock suddenly snaps andthe door forcefully opens all the way throwing me ffar eough for me to reach my sofa bed and hitting my head aginst it.

In a blur I see two figures step into the room. I try to stand up using the sofa bed as support. I stand up tall yet still a little dizzy. I start to get confuseed then angry about them barging into my room

"Wh-who do y-you th-think you are ba-barging into my ro-room!" I say having enough of them following me home and breaking into my room. Yet still stuttering. I was still straightening myself out that I didn't see them stepping closer to me.

"Wh-what are you do-doing? Get out!" I start to raise my voice and yell out the last part. Only to feel my head swing to side and burning sensation on my cheek strong enough to push me to the floor.

" You will not speak to us like that!" Says tge lady with the straight blonde hair. I whimper when she steps closer and slowly back up until my back hits the sofa.

The curly haired lady touches her shoulder and whispers something. Which I could her due to my wolfy senses "You're scaring her Hunter" she whispers harshly while gripping her shoulder

I hear the lady I assume is Hunter sigh. She comes closer and whimper even more pushing myself even further into the sofa. I hadn't realise I was crying hard until my knees were wet with tears. I had pulled my knees up to my chest and sobbed quietly afraid of her hurting me even more.

I hadn't gotten hit since my relationship with Sarah. I didn't know how long had passed since I had been crying into my knees. But, I did hear shiffling of things and feet.

Paris's POV:
Once Hunter had slapped her I pulled Hunter towards a corner of the very small room.

"What the hell! Where suppose to love her not abuse her the first time we talk!What is wrong with you? Look at the poor thing she's in a ball crying her eyes out because of you!" I whisper yelled while gripping her wrist I was beyond irritated at the poor first impression Hunter gave us

"I'm sorry it's just when I saw how small she was and and how she yelled at us i snapped. My dominant side came out I don't know what came over me I'm sorry." She said while looking down obviously knowing I was mad at her

"I shouldn't be the one you apologise to." I said while signaling the crying girl

Hunter lets out a sigh "Just give me a minute to cool down" I nod and look around and realise tmhow small this place really is.

I give Hunter a nudge shocked of how my baby was living. "Hunter look at this place it's disgusting and cramped how can she be living here?"

Hunter finally looks up and takes in the room she to shocked by it "My princess shouldn't be living in a place like this" she says moving around a little. She goes to open a door on the left side of the couch

I gasp thinking it was a bedroom only to see a small toilet inside. Even I couldn't possibly sit down due to how small the room itself was.

"Where does she sleep? Where does she shower? How on earth can a human being live in such a dump?" Hunter says while shaking her head

I wonder to myself those questions I look around and see some worn down pillow and a flimsy blanket folded up neatly on the small two seater couch

I realise and point at the couch "I think she sleeps there" Hunter follows my hand and looks at the couch her exression slowly turning into anger and pity

"How can we let our baby sleep here or live here in fact. She should be living with us at our mansion in our four poster bed with us" she says while gripping bith my shoulders and looking me into the eyes

I let my eyes wander around the room and they stop at our little mate still in the same position. Her sobs have stopped only to replaced by quite snores. Which I giggled due to how cute they where. Hunter follows my gaze and sees her sleeping.

She walks towards her and gently pets her head getting a soft stir from the little girl. She started to shiver when I realised how drafty her apartment was and what she was wearing. Hunter looked at me while I started to look for where her clothes were.

There were very places to look for starters I checked in a cupboard underneath her microwave only to find it filled with cup noodles. I shake my bead and I hear Hunter sigh as well. I keep looking until I see a small cardboard box in between the couch and wall. I open it to find very worn down clothes and other misc. All of which were thin kr had hole in them I sigh and look at Hunter shaking my head no.

She gently picks the girl up and sets her on the couch on her lap. She pats the spot next to her telling me to sit. As I sit I realise how stiff and uncomfortable the couch was. Both me and Hunter were squished together. Hunter slowly started to wake her up by tapping her shoulder.
