ABUSED MATE (Slow Updates)

Chapter 2

Darkness.

It's always been dark since the day she came back. I never thought I'd be living a life like hell, even worse. I can sense people around me but I'm not sure if it's real or not.

I feel so tired that I can't even open my eyes. I can't feel my body at all. It's like all my body parts have been torn away from me. I can hear a tiny beep that's probably coming from a machine.

I tried my best to move but still, I couldn't. It's dark but I somehow feel at ease. It's very unusual for me to not break down unlike before when I would cry whenever light wouldn't reach my face. While I was locked, I felt suffocated. I felt like I was in a coffin, with no air, but I somehow lived, to suffer. But now, this type of darkness is not scaring me.

I am not even sure if I survived after what happened. I can't remember everything aside from the thing that I collapsed. Maybe, it was the end for me. If that's the case, then I'd be more than grateful than to live the life I once had.

"She's conscious." I heard a voice. It was blurry, but I understood her still.

I felt my body tensed. I've never been around other wolves nor people except for Luna Klara and her men and knowing that other creatures are watching me right now triggered something deep within me, fear.

"Doctor, the Alpha is on his way. We shouldn't keep this rouge..." The man speaking was cut with a laughter.

"You've got to be kidding me! You don't expect me to let this poor girl die, don't you? I am a doctor, and doctors save lives. It's a natural thing for me to aid this wolf so don't speak another word or else, I'll rip your head off with my scalpel." The last line held a promising threat that totally shut the man's mouth.

Even I felt scared. It was the doctor, a female doctor who saved my life. And to be honest, I'm not sure whether I would be glad or mad at her for keeping me alive.

Although I wanted to open my eyes, I still can't do it. I feel so exhausted. It's like I've never slept. It's like I never knew what resting means. I feel so numb all over my body. Even my mind wouldn't function well. I can't even feel my wolf's presence.

"Get some rest dear, you need to be strong when the Alpha returns." Those words played like music to my ears and within seconds, I was back to dreamland.

-----

For the first time in my life, I felt at ease. I've had a good sleep and my heart is calm, my fear seemed to be resting. I cannot even feel the soreness of my body or the cuts I have printed on my skin.

I can feel serenity and it makes me want to cry. I'm not sure where I am but if this is what heaven feels like, I would never wish to get away. I would do everything just to not leave this haven.

At last, I found peace. I felt my cheeks get wet as tears fell down. I smiled to myself. Tears of joy, they are real. It's true that if something makes you happy, you will really be moved that you'd cry about it.

But, as my tears raced down, I felt a hand wiping them away. My body relaxed and I don't know why. I should have panicked but I did not. My body yearned for the touch that electrified me. It awakened my soul that was long gone.

I wanted to open my eyes but I can't. The touch felt so familiar. Then, an image crossed, an image that I tried not to remember a long time ago.

Mason is looking down at me, a small smile lingering on his lips. I felt my heart throb for I know that this was just a dream but I felt happy too. Even in my dreams, he made his presence possible. Now, the tears are no longer happy tears, they're of pain and longing.

I never wanted to give up on Mason, on us, but my sister was right. No matter how much we loved each other, she was his mate, not me. No matter how much we cared for each other, she was his air and without her, Mason would be weak.

Maybe my sister was right, that Mason only found interest in me because she was away and now that she's back, he fell for her because they're soulmates after all and I, I was just the intruder.

For the last time, I reached to touch his face, his face that I missed so much. He leaned in to my touch and I sighed, contentment filling my heart that he unintentionally broke.

This will be the last time that I will see him, I know. Although it's impossibly breaking my already shattered heart, I have to be strong, I have to let him go.

"I love you...." I whispered and I saw how his eyes opened, looking deep into mine with pure shock.

Even the muscle on his face tensed. This is the first time I said those words out loud to him and this will be the last.

"Mason... I love you." And I fell back to a very deep sleep, allowing the images of my lover disappear while noises of whatever's being thrown and broken filled my ears.

He sure is mad as hell. My Mason.
