New Life

Chapter 11 - Strong Mate

Violet POV

It's been about a week since we finished the matting process. I gotta say, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Logan seemed to as well, he had everything ready for us. From protection to breakfast in bed the next morning. I don't know how I snagged a mate like him~

I have a nice wolf tattoo on my neck, and he has a fox, both proving that we are mated. 

The next day I broke my phone and a week went by without it, so today Logan and I are heading to the store today to get a new one. "Hey, Logan! Can we stop at my house after we stop at the bank?"

He tosses me an apple, "Sure."

I get his car with him following after me, on our way to the bank we chat a bit. "Maybe I should study to get my license?" He hums in agreement, "Why not? We can look up some programs tonight."

He pulls up to the bank, I step out with my wallet at hand to pull out some money. You see since my parents aren't around they gave me a living card. A card full of money for me to live off of. Every month I take out $500 just in case something for emergencies, I've been doing this since they left when I was young. I have about 48k sitting in a safe in my bedroom at home. 

I take the cash and stuff in my wallet to add to my stash. I hop in the car, I smile at Logan. 

"Next stop, my house! I got pick up some clothes." He nods and drives us there, once we get there he parks in front of my garage. I notice the front porch light is on, "I must have left it on by mistake."

Logan and I get out of the car, I unlock the door to see my frantic parents. "M-mom?! D-dad!?" They look at me and run over, and hug me. My mom starts to cry a bit, once they realize I was gone they get off of me. Glaring daggers at me, "WHERE WERE YOU! WE WERE WORRIED SICK! YOU WERN'T RESPONDING BACK TO OUR CALLS OR TEXT WE THOUGH THE WORST!" 

I was about to explain to them what happened but they didn't stop there, "AND WHO IS THIS BOY! IS THAT A TATTOO!? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE WE'VE BEEN GONE!?"

"Yo-" The interrupt me again, "IS THAT A HICKEY!? ARE YOU HAVING SEX! NO DAUGHTER OF MINE IS GOING TO BE A SLUT FUCKING AROUND WITH RANDOM BOYS!"

"Wa-" They push me out the way going straight towards Logan, I watch as my mother goes and gets a kitchen knife. She runs back and threats Logan with the knife. "LEAVE THIS INSTANT!" 

Logan remains calm, "Please let us expl-" She doesn't even let him finish as she raises her knife, I stand in front of him, instead of cutting him she cuts my back instead. 

"Stop it!"

They both look shocked at my outburst. Logan stares wide-eyes at my spilled blood, I can already sense the anger leaking from him. I hold his hand trying to calm him down, but it doesn't seem to work as well as I thought.

I turn back to my parents, "Can you guys let me explain!? I didn't respond back to you because my phones been broken for a week! This is my boyfriend Logan, and I've been spending nights with him and his family. The bruise on my neck is just a burn, a friend of mine was trying to straighten my hair but I got scared at the last minute and got burned."

Both still look pissed, "That doesn't explain the tattoo or that other 'burn mark' on your other shoulder."

'Dammit, Logan!'

My mom makes an uproar, "Now your lying to us!?"

I sigh, "Fine, the truth is that he's a werewolf and I can turn into a magical fox with 9 tails. This mark is a mating mark because he's my soul mate."

They look at me like I'm even crazier, "IS THIS BOY MAKING YOU LIE!" My mother falls to the ground, crying her heart out. Hy father balls up his fist, "When we left, we expected you to-"

Now it was my turn to interrupt, "To what? Stay in the house all day? Never make friends or live a life? To wait here for you guys to come 1 day? You never call! Contact me! Nothing! You put your work over me! You left your 10-year-old daughter to fend for herself! LEFT HER TO FIGURE THINGS OUT ON HER OWN! LEFT HER FEELING ALONE WITH NO ONE TO TALK TO! LEFT HER IN THIS EMPTY HOUSE! LEFT HER TO BE AN ADULT WHILE YOU GUYS "WORK"? SO IF YOU'RE SO WORRIED ABOUT ME THEN WHY DON'T YOU ACTUALLY STAY? HUH? WHY DON'T YOU GUYS ACTUALLY RAISE ME? DO YOU KNOW 1 THINK ABOUT ME?"

They stay silent, "THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT! SO YOU CAN BE MAD ALL YOU WANT AND TELL ME TO LIVE UNDER YOUR RULES BUT YOU'RE THE ONES WHO LEFT ME WITH NOTHING AND NOBODY!"

Tears fall, as I take deep breaths. My mother and father stay silent, but my father breaks it.

"Leave."

I freeze, "What?"

He looks at me, "Take your stuff and leave. I want our financial card too."

"Fine." 

I turn and give Logan a small smile, "Wait in the car, I'll be there in a minute."

He looks at my parents than me, "No, I'll help."

We walk past them and quickly make our way upstairs. Once we get to my room, he softly closes the door. 

He looks at me, "Violet, are you ok?"

I sigh, "I will be once I leave. I have a suitcase under the bed. Can you toss my clothes in there?" 

"Ok."

I quickly walk to my bathroom and take anything I need and toss it on the bed for Logan to take. I walk over the closet and pick up the heavy safe and lay it on the bed. I can feel Logan's stairs as he zips up my suitcase. I look over to him, "Can you pass me my spare backpack, it's also under the bed."

He nods and bends down, I unlock my safe and open it. Stacks of money are neatly lined up, "Whoah." 

He passes me my backpack. I put the money in it, filling it up to the top. I take out my wallet and put the 500 busks in there as well, zipping it up. and putting it on my back. I look at Logan's shocked face a giggle. 

"H-how much was that? How did you get that?" I chuckle a bit, "I'm smarter than I look~"

We make our way downstairs to see my parents waiting for me, I pull out my wallet again and hand father his card and the key to the house.

We look at each other, I give him a cold glare. 

"Goodbye." 

Logan holds my hand to calm me down, he leads me out of the house. Once I get my stuff in we drive off. 

Our drive is silent, "Do you want to go back to the packhouse?"

I shake my head, "No, let's get a new phone and a data plan." He nods, "Who knew I had such a strong mate. I love you."

I smile, "I love you too."
