Broken in Two ✔️

Fun with a beating

I woke up, it was silent, too silent. I got out of bed and opened the curtain of my room to see if he was home, to my surprise it was snowing. Nothing out of the ordinary, especially in Canada. I still had work, just no school. Thankfully he wasn't here so, I decided to leave early.

I jumped into the shower, I washed my body and hair throughly. When I got out something didn't seem right, a pit in my stomach telling me something was wrong.  I quickly got changed into a pair of black jeans and a deep blue long sleeve shirt. I grabbed a black jumper and threw it on, slipped on my old converse, grabbed my phone and left as quickly as possible.

I drove to Starbucks and no one was there but my
co-worker Eden, I greeted her and she smiled back. I justwent to the back to find my apron and put it on. Once I came out it was packed I was only in there for 4-5 minutes, I had to take off my hoodie, put on my apron and I did my hair into a "Katniss braid". Eden was frantically making drinks, i helped her by making most of the cups that were just sitting there and serving them. And about 15 or so minutes it was under control. An hour or two past and nothing exciting happened.

  I had only 3 hours left and I was completely bored. No one was here. I sat down and played a game on my phone. I was playing a stupid game when my phone was snatched out of my hand. I opened my mouth to protest but noticed it was only Ace.

"You don't have my number yet." He smiled.
"Why do I need it?" I asked
"You just need it, both of ours." He winked I didn't even notice Vincent standing next to him. He smiled  and I smiled back casually.
Ace typed a few things and then handed my phone back.
"All done" he smirked, with his dimples revealing.
"Thanks" I blushed away.
"Well, we will see you around" Vincent said and they both walked away.

When my shift was over I immediately got a text.
'Ace
You free for some fun?'
'NOPE sorry' I replied smiling internally
'Ace
You're not doing anything better'
'True' I sent
'Come on, we are outside.'
Oh goddess what am I getting myself into?

I think something might be wrong with me, why am I literally risking my life to go hang out with some boys I don't even know? I'm going to end up getting myself killed, but at this point I really didn't care, at the rate my life is going at, I'm going to die soon anyways. Once I put up my apron, I went outside and the boys were standing next to a black car. Ace opened the door to the back and I got in, blushing slightly at the gesture. He closed the door behind me and they both got in.

Ace's POV~
Once I got our mate into the car and got in myself, we headed to our destination. I was so glad that she agreed to let us take her out, our wolves were itching to spend time with her. We wanted her to be with us at all times, so we can protect her and love her.

Once we arrived at the park Mace opened her mouth to speak.
"What are we doing here?" She asked
"Come with us" I gestured, she hesitantly nodded. I opened the door for her and led her to the park. She looked very weary and concerned, but I knew she felt somewhat safe with us. We walked passed the playground and I could tell she got very confused by the way her perfect eyebrows scrunched together, we kept walking until we got to a clearing. She looked amazed, Vincent and I sat at a tree with a space between us so once she was done looking she could sit between us, where she belonged.

The sunset sky made the small waterfall glisten orange and yellow. It was an amazing view, Our mate stood in awe for another couple minutes, and When she was done she looked at us and looked around. I got up grabbed her waist gently and placed her in between us on the ground. She winced when I touched her side, I got slightly angry at the fact that when I touch her she feels pain, pain that someone else has caused. But didn't show my feelings because I didn't want to scare her in any way and ruin the moment.

She giggled lightly when she was placed in between us. She rested her head on my shoulder, it felt amazing to have our mate with us, even if it's just for a little while. As we sat there, the sounds of nature surrounds us, filling the empty silence that has draped over us. And before long, Mace fell asleep, her heartbeat slowing to a soft and steady pace, as her breathing was deep and long. About an hour went by with us just sitting here when Mace woke up.

She looked like she was frightened, like she had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong?" I asked
"Can you take me back to my car, I have to leave" she hurried getting up
"Yea sure" I was very confused but didn't want to pressure her into telling us anything. I led her to the car, opened the door for her and she quickly got in.

I hurried her to her car and we were confused as to why she was such in a rush. When we got there she unbuckled her seatbelt, she stopped before she got out.
"Thanks guys, for taking me out, I really enjoyed our time together." she smiled and got out.
We watched her get in her car and drive away. I looked at Vincent, he just shrugged, I could tell her was worried about our mate, but there wasn't anything we could do so we just left.

Mace's pov-
When I got home he was here, can I just leave now? Not even look back? No, I have moms stuff in there. Maybe tomorrow. Now I'm certainly in for a beating. I turned off my phone and left it in my car. I took a deep breath and got out, wishing for the world to just eat me whole right now. My heart was beating so hard in my chest I knew he could hear it, even from out side of the house. I knew I was going to be in deep trouble when I got back, I'm so foolish. Why did I do something so risky like that? I felt like it was worth it, my wolf was very awake in that moment, it felt nice to have m wolf back for a few moments.

I made my way to the door. Slowly but surely turning the door knob, my heart practically beating out of my chest. Almost to not to be noticed, the door creeped open, but my hopes surely failed when I looked up and he was in front of the door with his arms crossed over his chest. I thought to myself that there was no way I'm getting out of this. I'm in for a good beating tonight. My breath hitched in my throat as I saw the expression on his face; distant, cold, and angry. He looked so angry, I wanted to cower away from his demeaning glare.

He grabbed me by my hair and threw me to the floor, my head bounced off the hard surface, causing me to groan in pain. A huge migraine began to form, but that was the least of my worries.
"Where the hell were you whore?!" He yelled, saliva coming out of his mouth with every word. He kicked me, so hard that I lost my breath. He then kneeled down, grabbed me by the hair, and bashed my head into the floor over and over again. I could feel myself slowly loosing consciousness as my eyesight became blurry.

"You were with a boy weren't you? You're a slut just like your mother!" He screeched. He got up and kicked me, in my ribs, my legs, and then finally my face. I couldn't recall what he hit or kicked next as my body became numb due to the trauma I had already experienced. I just laid on the ground, my eyes held a blank stare as I just took it, waiting for my heart to stop beating, so I can finally be freed.

When he walked away and I thought I was about to die. I tried to get up, but all hoped soon died, my head hurt too much and I couldn't feel anything. I laid there for several minutes before I got myself up a little. It was hard to breathe, like my chest was being sat on, slowing caving in on me. I got up and crawled over to the staircase, crawling up each step, my breaths hard and short, for it was so hard to breathe.

I got to my room and couldn't make it to the bed, I collapsed onto the floor. My head spinning and my chest aching, I just have no idea why I deserved this, why couldn't I just die already? I let the darkness consume me as I wished for death to meet me tonight, all I wanted to do was to see my mom again, with the moon goddess.
