Human

Twenty-Six

"W-what? How are you my mate? I already f-found my mate." She stuttered out, intimidated by his tall figure.

At the statement his eyes darkened and he pinned her with his hips to the counter, putting his hands on either side of her gripping the counter to a breaking point.

"What. Did you just say?" He asked dangerously, getting in her face with his pale eyes now a dark blue shade.

Her eyes were wide with fear, but he didn't see it. He was too blinded by rage. She gathered up the pieces of courage that fell apart when his eyes started darkening, and started speaking in a small voice that she so badly wanted to make louder, but her fear of this man wouldn't let her.

"I found my mate, a month ago. There is no way you are my mate." Her courage came back when she thought of how devastated Ethan must be that she left. Not only him. Her family and friends too.

"I don't feel the mate pull! I am human until I turn seventeen in a year and I feel only faint sparks when I touch him! But that's enough to make me go crazy! With you, I don't feel anything!" He stopped her rambling by slamming his lips down on hers. And with that kiss, he woke up the sparks inside of her. Her eyes were wide the whole time, she wasn't responding to his kiss.

Ethan put his hand to his heart when he felt an immense pain there, on the left side of his chest. "Ethan? Are you alright?" Julian asked tiredly. They all hadn't slept since Bella went missing.

Ethan groaned "I feel this sudden pain in my chest, and I have a bad gut feeling." He groaned again rolling his head. Emily's eyes widened.

"E-ethan?" She said shakily. They both looked at her, Julian in concern and Ethan in curiosity, with a hint of annoyance. "What?" He tried not to snap at her, this Alpha was grumpy when he didn't get his eight hours of sleep.

"I think I know what the pain is." She gulped. "When your mate, c-cheats on you, you get an immense pain in your chest and it hurts to the point where some werewolves fall into a coma." Ethan's world stopped. His mind went blank. He couldn't think straight.

He used his werewolf speed and was out of the room in a second, and in the gym he had in his house. Pictures of someone laying their hands on his Bella got him seeing red.

He let out an animalistic growl and punched the bag repeatedly before it flew off it's hinges. He then moved onto the wall. He punched it several times, making holes, not even letting his bleeding knuckles heal before he did it again.

He heard the door open and someone pull him away from the wall. He heard the persons muffled voice but he couldn't figure out a thing he said, since his blood pumping was all he could hear.

He closed his eyes and calmed down his breathing, he felt and heard his blood slow down as he could hear Julians voice telling him to calm down because he has explanations.

He finally reopened his eyes and turned around seeing Julian with a frown on his face. "How did you find me? Ethan asked dumbly. He was trying everything to get the picture of another man laying his hands on Bella, but it wasn't really working for him.

"Well we first thought it was an earthquake upstairs, then we realized it's just you so they sent me down here to get you." He explained with a serious face on.

"Ethan, I just called your parents and they're coming here. While they were driving I asked them about the pain and they said that if it hurts only that much and you can still move it means they didn't do more than just kissing." Julian explained all in one breath.

Ethan's shoulders relaxed a little but he was still as tense as a rock. "Ethan. She's faithful to you. You might not see it but I can. She loves you. She didn't even think about it. You didn't think about it either. You just love each other." Julian took a deep, shaky breath.

"You know how I always stayed away from her but after she turned sixteen, I went all for her? It's a little bit of a complicated explanation, but you'll understand. Well I hope.

I always found her attractive, I wanted to ask her on a date, I wanted her to be my mate, but I knew the chances were very slim since she was human.

I made a vow to myself that I will only do these such things with my mate, so I stayed away from her until she turned sixteen and I prayed she turned out to be my mate.

I only had sex with girls, I used them and I am ashamed that I didn't save myself for my mate as she did for me. And I know you feel the same way.

So when she turned out to be your mate and not mine, jealousy took over me completely. I tried to make you jealous by being with her, and it worked, but it sounds and feels so, so wrong now. I'm so sorry man. I hope you can forgive me." Julian said pure guilt and pain taking over his features.

Ethan nodded and he was about to reply when they heard the doorbell ring. They were upstairs in a second and Ethan was hugging his parents.

"My poor baby." Sally cooed with a sad face on as she hugged him tightly. "Don't think you're not in trouble for not telling us about your mate young man. But right now we need to focus on finding her." Then the ugly reality kicked in. Bella was kidnapped. She wasn't with Ethan anymore.

-

"H-how?" Bella stuttered out. She hugged herself as she fell down onto the couch. Tears started escaping her eyes as she hugged herself. She wanted Ethan. She needed Ethan.

Atlas fell down on his knees in front of her. "Baby please don't cry, everything will be fine." He saw her eyes roll to the back of her head as she fell limp in his arms.

"Shit!"

-

"I love her mom. What do I do?" Ethan said his voice cracking, he was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands and Sally sitting next to him.

Daniel just came with their best hacker and said they couldn't locate her. They've been trying for hours but still nothing.

"I know you do honey. Don't worry. We'll find her." Sally said rubbing her hand up and down his back soothingly. She felt the pain her child felt. No person ever deserved to get their mate taken away from them. She just hoped they'll find her soon.

"Please leave." He muttered. She got up without a word and left her only son to bear his miseries by himself.

As he heard her leave the room, he slowly got up from his position with tears all over his face. His eyes were red and he felt like dying. He dug his face in his pillow when he laid down and screamed.

Screamed because his life was so messed up. Screamed because his mate was kidnapped. Screamed because he was an alpha, he was positive it had to do with his title. Screamed because he was so possessive. Screamed because he was so weak. Too weak to protect his mate. Too weak to find her and save her. Too weak to live.

But he lived. To save his mate. He knew she loved him. He loved her way more. She couldn't imagine how much he loved her. And as he slipped into darkness, he had it in his mind.

I'm gonna save you.

Enjoy bitches. You ain't getting no more till next week *does evil laugh*
