UNSHIFTED: The Mysterious Mate

Chapter 2

Skyla's POV 
We finally reached Ohio and we was tired and hungry. 
"Let’s stop to grab a bite." Mia said. I looked at her through the rearview mirror. She looked so broken. For some reason I feel the need to protect them. I pulled over to a diner that was called Ralph's. As soon as we walk in everyone looked up at us. I gave my friends the look that said sit in the corner booth. We all sat and no one spoke. Until the waitress walk over. "Hello I'm Abby, I'll be serving y'all tonight." 
Luke muttered a "hey" as we all just gave her a smile. "We will take some water please." I said. 
"Okay I'll be right back." she said as she walked to the drink station. "Well guys let eat." as I opened one of the menus Abby gave us. After about 5 minutes Abby took our orders and brought our food to us. Mia and Alan order the burger and fries. While Luke ordered Alfredo and garlic bread. Erica ordered the chicken soup. And finally I ordered the Philly cheese steak and onion rings. 
We all talked and ate and joked around like a real family. I heard Abby talking behind me so I turned around but she was at least twenty-five feet away from use talking on the land-line. All I heard her say was "yes Alpha I'll see you in a minute." she then hung up and grabbed five plates and forks. I turned back around. "Guys I think we need to go." 
We all got up to leave and I walked to Abby and gave her the money for the bill ($100). Saying keep the change. "But it's only $65.99 that's a $30 tip?" she said while looking down. "I know." I replied and left. I see her eyes fog over as I peered back. Oh? She must be mind linking. 
I hopped into the front seat and as I was pulling out. Two men came running out of the woods looking pissed off, in front of us. I put the petal to the metal and left them in the dust. 
"Who was that??" Mia said looking back at the men. 
"I think it was the Alpha." I replied. 
We drove in silence for the next 15 minutes. "We should pull over" Luke said as he rubbed his eyes. I made a right into a motel's parking lot. "Okay I'll go get two rooms." I said putting the vehicle in park. "You wake up the guys." I jumped out grabbing my bag, and walked into the lobby. The lobby was an old style room, it had a western theme and at least 13 pictures of different horse breeds. In the corner was a table of coffee and cookies with a sign of $2.50 each. 
By the door there was an oak futon and a dark oak coffee table. 
Then on the right of the room there was the front desk with an older man behind it. "I need two rooms with two queen beds each?" I state too tired to ask politely, as it was 3:28 in the morning. "Yes, that will be 120 each so it will be 240 a night." He said with a scowl on his face. I glare at him as I pull out the money and hand it to him. As I go to take the keys to the room which he is holding out to me. His grip tighten on them. “I don’t appreciate your kind being here." I give a questioning look at him before rushing back out the door. Muttering 'fucking grumpy locals' as I get outside. We head to our rooms which are beside each other. I and the girls head to the left one and the boys take the right. "Let's get to bed" I say as I lock and bolt the door. I walk into the bathroom and shut the door. I look into the mirror at my reflection. I look ratchet. I have bruises all over, a black eye, a busted left cheek and right side of my lip, and a cut just on my right eyebrow. Tears in my eyes because of the shit I've been forced though. 'Enough feeling sorry for myself.' I thought as I turn to leave the room. Erica and Mia and long asleep in the left bed so I just make my way to the right bed, the one closest to the door. As soon as my head hits the pillow I'm fast asleep. 
'Wake up' 
I jolt awake, I guess I woke myself up? 
I look at the clock and it says 4:56am. Ugh barely an hour of sleep. I get up and go outside for air. As the door shuts I walk towards the woods. Since I was 14 I haven't been outside, I missed the woods. Finding myself a nice tree to sit against I relax and let my mind wander. I didn't even notice that someone was walking to the side of me, until I was yanked up by the arm. I cry out in pain by the sudden movement. Before I know it he crushes me into the tree. 
Muttering "filthy mutt" he then throws me to the ground. Landing a kick to my side. I roll from the kick. "Please" I cough out. "Are you trying to beg for mercy? Ha like I'd grant you that. I try to get up and I spot a stick. He backhands me and I fall close to it. Grabbing it I swing at him. Making contact with his face he falls to the ground in pain.
I take the chance to make it run back to the motel as I get there I see my friends being carried out bruised up being thrown into a van. 
The last ones out is Erica and Mia which are being handled by the same guy, power raising from him. I run tackle him from behind. "Run, now" I yell at my sisters. They take off running. And I'm not far behind them. As I make it to the tree line I head the tackled guy growl. "The ginger is mine you get the others" and then I hear footsteps running after us, then ripping of clothes. 
As I'm running I glance back slightly causing myself to trip on a tree root, landing on a rock which cuts my thigh open. I crawl to a hole in a tree and hide. 
Not breathing I hear twigs breaking when suddenly I'm yanked out of my hiding spot. I grip onto the tree all I can do is cry. He gives a final yank and pins me to the ground. He sits on my butt as I have my stomach to the ground and crushes my head into the ground with one of his hands the other binds my left arm behind my back. I try to struggle but his grip on my arm tightens. "Stop struggling, if you don’t I'll just have to break this." He binds it more. The pain being too much I stop all I do is cry.
"You really know how to piss a guy off." He says laughing. He releases my head and handcuffs my wrists together. Then lifts me from the ground and grabs me by the throat. "You’re lucky I'm ordered to bring you back alive. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna hurt you at least a little." He says as he punches me in the face. For some reason I get some guts and spit out the blood and whisper "I've had worse." Me and my damn mouth... 
"You and your mouth are gonna get in a world of pain." He says shaking his head. 
I try to back up and he walks closer. Soon my back hits a tree. "Plea...please. Don’t do this. Just let us go, please." I sob. He grabs me by the hair and yanks my head backwards. I feel his canines running across my jugular. "Just to think I could end you right now if I was allowed to. But I'm under strict orders." He releases my hair and grabs my arm leading me back to the motel as we get close the van I try to drag my feet as much as I can. "Fucking bitch." He says and he slams me into the van. I fall to the ground coughing blood. The asshole has the balls to pull out a phone and start texting. I see the opportunity and take a run for it but before I reach 8 feet away I'm lifted off the ground by the waist. "Noooo!" I yell seeing my last chance at freedom slipping away. He grabs ahold of my by the arm and leads me to a nice and probably expensive truck. Uncuffing my left wrist he cuffs it to the inside door handle. Then slams my door shut. 
I yank at it repeatedly. He gets in to the driver seat and his eyes fog over. Then the van and our Tahoe Takes off. He turns on his truck and puts it in neutral. Following a little ways behind it I try to compress myself against my door. Shaking with fear, I yank at my cuff. "Whhy, are yyou doing this?" I stutter out. He says silent. "What did we do to deserve this????" I say to myself more than him. He shows a pained look just slightly. "What don’t you guys do?" He says after slamming on the breaks. He reaches over and yanks my body closer to him. Placing his knee between my thighs. And grabbing my sides. I push on his chest. "No please no not this! Not again!" I cry out, shaking with fear. He mutters something lowly and removes himself. I scurry away cradling myself against the door. I feel the car starting back up again. The hear him muttering "fuck" lowly I feel a prick on my upper arm. But I don’t move an inch to see what it was. My head then gets dizzy and the next thing I know I pass out.
