The Fallen Mate

Sister

Olivia's POV

A knock at the door stops our conversation. Lex turns to it and growls. I instinctively move away from him which he notices and turns back to me with a worried look covering his beautiful features. Conner opens the door.

"Lex I don't mean to bother you but we have a situation" he says. Lex turns to look at him and based off of Conner's reaction I can only guess that he's pissed off.

"No" Lex responds. As if he's a five year old.

"Go" I say. Lex turns to look at me. Frowning.

"Why?" He whines. I smile a bit at his cute attitude. His face lights up.

"It might be important" I push. He sighs, stands, and walks over to the door.

"I'll be back soon" he promises. He then turns and follows Conner out of the small room.

Now I'm just sitting here. It's been about fifteen minutes from what I can tell. Phobe and I were discussing everything. She's very excited to have found Hunter and Oz, his wolf apparently. I am too although I remind her that the Hollow Moon pack is definitely looking for me. She, however, reminds me that we now have a mate who can protect us. I roll my eyes at her. What can one wolf do to stop an entire pack?

As I'm lost in my thoughts I hear the door open and I snap my head towards the entryway. There stands a girl. She has unruly brown hair and wild brown eyes. She's grinning from ear to ear at me, so much so that it's honestly scary. She's carrying a bag which she drops to the floor with a thump as She squeals and runs up to me. I move back in shock as she approaches.

"Oh my goodness! You're here!!!" She screeches hugging me.

"Wh-what?" I ask. So confused. She untangles herself from me.

"You're my brother's mate!" She cheers. I look at this girl. She doesn't resemble Hunter at all. She notices my confusion.

"We have different moms," she says. I must look surprised because she laughs. It's rare for there to be step-parents in the werewolf community.

"Yea, our dad married my mom when he was 18 because he couldn't find his mate. When he turned 20 he found her but I was already born" she says. Shrugging as if it wasn't some weird thing. I just nodded not knowing how to respond.

"What's your name?" I ask. Trying to wriggle my way out of this awkward topic. She smiles at me.

"Elinor, what's yours?" She asks.

"Olivia" I reply. She squeals again

"Your names are so cute together! You're gonna make such a good Luna" She screeches. I choke on my own breath.

"L-Luna" I stutter. Hoping that I misheard. She frowns and cocks her head to the side.

"Yea, Lex is Alpha," she says in a duh tone. I look down at my hands fidgeting nervously.

"I... I uh didn't know" I stutter. Not really knowing what to say. Her frown deepens.

"How didn't you know. He's like the most famous alpha?" She asks. I just shrug, not exactly wanting to tell her my whole life story. She just shrugs. Seeming to understand my unwillingness to talk about it. She then stands up and brings up the bag she dropped onto the ground onto my bed.

"I brought you some clothes," she says. Offering me an olive branch. I look at the bag with a small smile. I haven't had new clothes in almost 3 years. She hands me the bag and I pull out some ripped jeans and a sweatshirt. There is also different sized undergarment.

"What size shoe are you?" She asks.

"I-I don't know," I say. Looking down embarrassed.

"That's fine. You look pretty similar to me. We'll have to go shopping soon though" she says smiling. Obviously trying to feel comfortable. "I'll be right back with some shoes," she says before jumping up and running back out the door.

The door opens again and I look up. Expecting to see Elinor. Instead, I see Lex. I smile at him. I then remember he's an alpha and drop my head immediately. I hear his footsteps approaching, but I don't dare move.

"Hey, you ok?" He asks. Reaching for my hand but I flinch away. My body wants nothing more than to reach out but I can't bring myself to.

"Y-yes Alpha" I choke out. There's silence for a few seconds so I look up at him to see him frowning down at me. I quickly return my eyesight down to my hands in my lap.

"You don't need to call me Alpha. To you I'm Lex or whatever name you want me to be" he says. Taking my hand. The sparks make my tensed muscles relax a little bit. I look at him.

"A-are you s-sure?" I stutter. Wanting to make sure he wasn't going to punish me as soon as I said his name. He smiles.

"I'm sure," he says. The door opens again. This time revealing Elinor. Both of our heads immediately go to her. She starts to squeal when she sees us.

"OMG!!!! You guys are so so so soooo cute" she shouts. Lex groans.

"Elinor," he says. Rubbing his temples. She walks up to us and plops a pair of pink sneakers down onto the bed.

"Lighten up little brother," she says. Smaking his shoulder. I allow myself to smile. She then looks at me with a big grin on her face.

"My brothers been waiting for you forever," she says. I frown. Upset that I've kept my mate waiting. Lex pushes her.

"Don't make her feel self-conscious" he growls. It makes Phobe happy that he's sticking up for me.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I just mean my brother has been desperate and that means we'll probably have pups running around in like a year" she says. I move as far from them as I can. The thought of sex. Even if it's with my mate is terrifying. I was used so many times. It was the worst form of torture I had to endure.

"Hey hey don't worry. We won't rush" Lex says. Obviously sensing my nerves and trying to assure me. I just nod.

"Why don't you take her to your room?" Elinor suggests. Obviously seeing that my never a have doubled since she's entered the room. Lex smiles.

"Would you like that?" he asks. I nod in response. As soon as I stand his eyes snap to my neck. I look down and he's looking at the now almost invisible love bite that Cedric had placed on me. He stands.

"Who did that," he says. His voice calm.

"Um, I..." I stutter. Not knowing what to say.

"Lex" Elinor says in. A warning tone as he stalks closer to me.

"Who. Did. This." He asks slowly. His voice filled with venom. He's practically leaning over me now and I force my back as flat against the bed as possible.

"I want to forget" I squeak. My eyes staring back down into my lap. Not wanting to relive it again and again. Lex sighs.

"We'll talk about it later," he says. I just nod. He reaches out his hand and I connect it with mine and he leads me out of the hospital room.
