Never Cry Wolf

Chapter 6: Heartbreak Before Sunrise

Recap:

I still smile slightly at his words, I push my back against his chest. I feel a low rumble run through him at the contact. "I'm sorry mate I'll leave you to get dressed." Icarus steps out of the shower dripping wet not before peeking a bit at my naked body. At seeing this I roll my eyes, the door closes as he leaves. I turn the water off after ten minutes, I step out and dry off thinking about what's to come as I pull on my clothing.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I walk out the bathroom preparing myself for a long lecture from Icarus. To my surprise I find that the room is empty. I look around for the big man but still don't find him, shrug my shoulders and walk into the hallway. As I make my way down looking for some stairs I hear voices talking. "Sweetie, I know that you have a need to claim your mate. Trust me, your father was the same way. I can tell Malsee has some issues from her past. I want you to try and help her she needs you Icarus don't let this go unnoticed." I hear a sigh which I can guess comes from Icarus. "Mother I just want my mate I've been waiting for five years to find her. I understand the fact she needs help but it's hard to control myself. I will try my best to see around the mate bond and help my mate." At this moment I feel a tear run down my face. I lift my hand to my face and use my index finger to wipe off the salty demon. I slide down the wall, before Letting sobs wrack my body. 'Malsee what's wrong are you okay? The other part of myself feels the despair going through my brain. 'No I'm not I want Icarus. Nina I'm so scared, what if he hurts me like.....Dean?' I shudder at the fact that I even have the guts to speak his name even if it was in my own mind. 'Mate is not like Dean. He would never hurt us like that piece of garbage man did. Plus Icarus does not know about our..... extended abilities.' I cry even harder at Nina's words. Before I realize what's happening I feel warm broad shoulders wrap around my shaking body. "Shh kitten, it's okay I've got you." Icarus pulls me into his lap and twists himself so that he is leaning against the wall. All that I can do in reply is let whimpers escape my mouth while he runs his hand up and down my back in a soothing manner. My shaking body caves into the man that was made just for me, the one that I managed to push away. After about ten minutes I manage to calm down the slightest bit. I feel my exhausted body being picked up and carried into the same room as before. Icarus lays me on the bed before he crawls in beside me. "Malsee, do you want to talk about it?" I whimper once again in reply. "Kitten I can't help you unless you tell me what's wrong." I hear the desperation in his usually stone cold voice. "Icarus, I do not believe you are a bad man. Although the way we met was a bit.....chaotic. I'm just tired of being hurt, I hope that you will be different. I'm willing to try with you as long as you are willing to do the same with me." I let out a breath thanking the moon goddess for not letting me stutter. I push myself on top of my mate to look into his eyes. "Of course I'm willing. I will admit I am a piece of work, and you are correct the way I acted when I found you was uncalled for. Forgive me for that act of cowardice." My mate pushes our heads together, foreheads touching. I let a tear run down my face as I am finally feeling like I'm getting all the happiness that was robbed from me. I cup my mates cheeks in my hands and lean down to him. I softly rest my tear stained lips to his warm ones. As our lips move together I thank the moon goddess for such a loving mate. As I pull away I rest my head against Icarus's reckless beating heart evidence of what I just did. I lay with him until I feel snores rock his body into the dark night. I just don't know how I am going to tell my mate about the pain of my past. I listen to Icarus's soft snores while I lay upon his chest. My head pounding from all the crying, my mind tired but my body awake. I slowly pull myself from my mates arms and make my way to the window, watching the woods. For any sign that he's out there waiting for me to make a mistake. As more tears trickle down my cheek, I look back at my willing mate. Damn it all I'll prove him he was wrong about me, about my family. So I pick my shattered soul up and lay down with Icarus and fall into a restless slumber desperate for sleep to take me away from all my troubles.

*three hours later*

"Little Malsee where are you?" The voice echos through the dark abandoned hallway. A little girl hiding behind a curtain stiffens as the voice reaches her ears. "Come out, come out wherever you are. I just want to PLAY with you." The menacing voice laughs after he gets done speaking. The girl whimpers in utter fear, waiting for him to see her through the curtain. The pace the footsteps were previously walking quickens as a hand throws back the curtains. The action reveals a young girl with strawberry blonde curls and tear filled grey eyes. The ugly man with a scar running down the right side of his face with watery blue eyes and yellow teeth smiles evilly at her, "I told you that you can't leave until the project is done why don't you ever listen you ungrateful bitch!" As he completes his sentence the young girl receives a harsh slap to the face. The man grabs her curls and slams her nose to the floor. As she lays on her front, face to the floor, she thinks 'Where is my family when I need them? Oh wait their dead.' Another useless attempt at a whimper leaves her mouth "Why won't you leave me alone Dean?" The fourteen year old girl cries out for mercy as the man kicks her repeatedly into the already bruised ribs on her right side. "I told you to complete the damn job Malsee! Use the gift your stupid father gave you!" The girl yells back at him damn the consequences. "My father did not give me the gift of Sight for your pathetic use. Damn you to hell, Dean." Malsee grins with blood running down her chin. The cold exterior of the once vibrant young princess leaving as a cold warrior replaces her.
