My Other Half

Chapter 2

Mikayla's pov.

My head hurt horribly as I slowly opened my eyes. There was a sweet scent that smelled of strawberries and the woods. I felt so attracted to it i didnt even notice the gorgeous man in front of me.

He was staring oddly at me then went to lean his hand down, I flinched waiting on a blow to the face that never came. Slowly I opened my eyes to see he looked angry so I hesitantly reached and locked my hand with his.

All at once sparks flew threw the air and gasps came from everybody. I didnt want a mate and from the smell that was coming off of him he was definitely a royal.

So I did the one thing I could think of doing, I ran away and shifted into my wolf.

As I made my way out of the school I looked two ways. One I could go back to the hell hole of a house and get beat or two I could run away.

I was definetly not choosing one considering I was in for another beating when I get home and I had a hell of a headache from that fall.

So without thinking anything else I ran into the woods to get away from this place, school, my mate, my dad, and my life.

I had finnaly felt free away from everything. Dad told the school I was a crazy freak so they kept an eye on me. They had to walk me to my classes sometimes so I never got a break from people.

I had never got to shift with my dad at home and that was most of time.

I could feel the dirt and grass between my paws every time they hit the ground. It felt so good to run and feel free.

I let my speed slow down to a simple run and kept going thinking I was fine until I was tackled by a huge black wolf that was definetly two times bigger than me.

I whined as I was pushed to the hard ground face first. Could people just give me a break for once. I jumped up and got into a defensive stand and let my insticts take over.  Its not like I could really hurt him anyway he looked like the incredible hulk.

I growled at the wolf in front of me and realized it was the dude from earlier, my freaking mate.

He slowly started to walk over to me that was until I growled and backed up. He looked sad but shook it off and shifted right in front of me.

I turned my head and waited till he had some clothes on then looked back up.

He looked about 6'2 maybe with dark hair and a body that looked as if he was a god. He smiled at the fact I was checking him out and offered me a shirt to change into.

I looked as if he was crazy to think I would trust him but he slowly put the clothes on the ground and backed up. I slowly picked them up thinking why not and went behind a tree to change.

It wasnt like I was gonna speak anyway I havent spoke in years. I made my way out from behind the tree and looked up at him. He smiled and spoke " my name is James Delroy alpha of the midnight creek pack"

He looked as if he wanted me to speak but I just stood there. He groaned in frustration and made his way over to me.  I growled louder the closer he got.

"Listen you dont have to be afraid im not going to hurt you" he moved to touch me but I swiftly moved out of the way. I glared at him when he moved again so he stopped.

"Please can I just like walk you home maybe" I shook my head fast and turned to walk away. He made his way beside me and started to walk with me.

"Hey we can go to my pack house and talk maybe" I shook my head again and he looked confused.

"Are you scared of something?" I looked at him and turned around. I have always been beat, and made fun of. No one talked to me or even try to have a conversation. My dad always told me my mate would hate and reject me so I knew if I  went with him he would just leave me on my own.

I was so drawn into thought I didnt realize he had his hands on my shoulder looking into my eyes.

The thoughts of my dad beating me brought me back to my thoughts and all the times he kicked, punched, and hit me.

I went into panic mode and my eyes started to go blurry. I felt myself swaying and finnaly everything went black.

James pov.

I know she is afraid of something I just cant figure out what it is. The way she ran from the school and flinched when I went to give her a hand. Someone has hurt her and I will find out who.

I growled at the thoughg of anyone hurting my mate.

She looked like she was freaking out so I put my hands on her shoulders and looked at her. She looked back at me and her eyes started to droop. She went to swaying and I grabbed her when she went limp and made my way to the pack house.
