True mate

Chapter 19

I woke up the next morning, alone in the room. I see some clothes are layed out for me near the bathroom. I go in and take a shower and brush my teeth and get dressed. I come out of the bathroom and see Charles sitting in the chair reading a book. "Good morning, Alice."

"Morning." I say politely as I can.

"Your grandmother wants you to go downstairs this morning so you can meet everyone." I nod and do as I am told. I follow Charles out of the room down two flights of stairs and into the dinning room where everyone was eating but as soon as I stepped in they became quiet and looked at me. I see an empty chair next to Jasper and my grandmother. I walk over to it and sit down. "Morning, grandmother."

"Morning, Alice. How'd you sleep?"

She smiles down at me expecting me to say 'good' but instead I say "Not to be rude but I didn't sleep well because my mate's not with me."

I hear gasps from the people that I haven't met yet, "Alice one thing that we do not talk about is mates in this house. However since you don't know the rules I'll let this one pass."

"Why can't I talk about my mate?"

"Because I said so."

"First you kidnap me, then you tie me up in a room, and now you are telling me that I can't talk about my loving and caring mate in this house. That is not acceptable!" I shout and stand up.

"Sit down Alice." Jasper hisses.

"No, I'm not going to pretend that this is my home because it's not my home is with MY MATE!" I shout at him and my grandmother.

I feel like I was being choked and then I was in the air, "Listen here young lady, you will listen to me and you will be following our rules. Understand?"

I shake my head no and it tightens. "Go ahead kill me, I dare you." I choke out.

"I'm not going to kill you Alice, but you will be punished if you don't listen to me. Jasper will tell you the rules and if you don't follow them then you will be punished." I glare at her and kick. I was released and I could breath again.

"Grand-mama, why do I have to explain it to her?" Jasper whines.

"You are the eldest but Lucy can do it for you." She looks over at a girl with red hair that's wavy and ice cold blue eyes.

"May I be excused?" A blonde girl asks.

"Yes Matilda you may." My grandmother says to her.

I walk out of the room when they were distracted. I ran outside into the cool morning air and breathed a sent that I have smelled before. I look around and see a swing on the tree and the bushes with roses near it. The forest was big and I ran into them changing as fast as I could and started runing. My memory started to come back a little. I remember when I was little and running through this forest for my life and I'm doing it again. I hear a horn being blown and I run faster, I could see the trees being a blur with the ground. I hear their wolves coming after me and I run into a clan's territory. I shift back and was crowded with vampires, "Who are you?" A girl with long black hair ask me.

"I'm Alice. I need to call my clan and there is a pack coming after me." I say to them and their eyes were big as saucers. "I need to run before they catch me, please."

The girl nods and I run at vampire speed into the house and grab the phone. I call Ashton.

"Hello?" He says.

"Ashton, I'm being chased by the people who took me."

"Alice? Where are you?"

"I'm in northern Colorado." I say breathing heavy.

"I'm on my way." 

"How?"

"I'm just on my way, baby girl. I'll be there in a second."

I heard growling and snarles. I run outside and see my grandmother and the clan leader facing off. "She's on my land!"

"She is mine!"

"No I'm not!" I walk out and come over to her. "I'm not on your land and you need to leave!"

"You're coming with me." she growls.

I then hear my angel's voice, "No she's not." I look around and don't see him. He lands right in front of me and see his wings that are bright white. He spread them out to cover me from her. They run off back to their house. He stayed that way for a minute making sure that they are gone. He turns around, "Are you okay?" He asks with worry in his eyes. I nod and hug him.

"How are you an angel?"

"My actual mother was an angel. She was murdered as soon as I was born." He hugs me close, "I have missed you baby."

I smile up at him, "I have missed you too." he leaned down and kisses me, I respond instantly. I hear a throat clear and we stop and look at the person who did that and it was leader of this clan. 

"Thank you for helping. My mate was taken a few days ago and I thank you so much for helping to defend her."

"It was no probablem. She must be really special for people to want her."

"She is but we need to go."

"It's okay come back any time." He nods and then we were in the air.
