The alphas abused mate

Chapter 3

Katerina P.O.V
As soon as I opened my eyes, I knew something wasn't right. There was a faint light in the room, and..... wait, room? I sat bolt upright and looked around, Wild-eyed. I was in a large rustic bedroom with an entire wall of windows, that opened up onto a deck overlooking a beautiful forest, and in the distance you could see the faint glimmer of sunlight reflecting on water. I stepped back into the room and took another look around. Across from the bed, there was another wall of windows, with a coffee table and two chairs up against it, and to the right of that was a large stone fireplace. I turned around so I was facing the bed, and saw a door to the left, and a door to the right. I walked to the one on the left and saw a huge walk-in closet, that was only half full. Strange. I shrugged and looked to the one on the right. It was closed, and when I went over to it I discovered it was locked as well. I glanced around one last time, only to see yet ANOTHER door on the only other wall that wasn't glass. I started walking over to it, when suddenly the handle turned and out stepped Asher with nothing but a towel around his waist. I squealed and covered my eyes, turning around.
"S-s-sorry!" I stutter. What was I doing? I never stutter!
"Sorry" I say again more clearly this time.
"Katie! Your awake!" The man behind me exclaims. I hear him walking in the direction of the closet, and he comes out a few minutes later wearing a T-shirt and some sweat pants. I look down, suddenly realizing I am dressed only in a sports bra, oversized T-shirt that I presume to be Asher's, and boy short underwear. I subtly make my way back to the bed and grab a blanket, throwing it over my lap. I blush, wondering who changed my clothes. Asher seemed to notice my discomfort and spoke up.
"Don't worry, I had my sister change your clothes. I figured you wouldn't want to sleep in the other stuff" he smiled sheepishly at me and I gave him a small smile in return. Suddenly, I recall what my wolf had whispered to me last night.
"A-are you my mate?" It comes out much like a whisper, and I scold myself internally for being so shy and stuttering so much.
"Yes" he says slowly, as if not to startle me with the news. I nod, thinking over what was happening.
"Are you hungry?" He asked. I wasn't, but he looked so hopeful that I couldn't say no. I nodded my head and he gestured for me to follow him. He walked towards the door that was locked earlier and without saying anything slipped a key out of his pocket and unlocked it, opening it up and walking out, signaling for me to follow. I walked behind him, keeping my distance and keeping my head down. We reached a stair case and walked down it, entering a beautiful rustic kitchen. (Image below)

Asher and I walked towards the island. I sat down at the breakfast bar while Asher cooked some food. I looked at the girl sitting on my right and gasped.
"Roni?!" I ask.
"Kitty?!" The dark haired girl replied. We leapt off of our stools and brought each other into a tight embrace.
"Angel, do you know her?" Asher asked
"Yes!" I exclaim
"Veronica and I were besties before I was taken by the canyon pack!" Asher studied Veronica, probably assessing whether or not she was a threat to his mate. (Veronica below)

Veronica was very pretty, with long black hair, tan skin, and beautiful green eyes. After Asher was sure she was not a threat, he went back to cooking, while Veronica and I caught up. We chatted about everything that had happened since we last met, and for once in the longest time, I was truly happy, for once, I actually smiled.
