The Alpha Female's Mate (Girl x Girl)

Chapter 1- Georgia

I woke up to two little troublemakers jumping on my bed, one landing on my stomach, touching the healing wound from last night. I groaned out in pain, making her get off of me and sit next to me.

"Oops, sorry, Gingie," my little sister, Bethany, said, looking at me with her unnatural blue eyes. Her blonde hair fell into her eyes, and she stared at me through them, not even caring.

I sighed and moved a hand through her hair, fixing her bangs while she scowled. "It's all right, Bethie. It should be healing faster, now that I can turn into a wolf."

"How do you feel?" my younger brother, Benjamin, asked. "You might be able to find your mate. And leave..." 'Leave us here.' I could tell that he had added that silently.

The twins looked so similar that it wasn't funny. They both had the same unnatural blue eyes that looked as if they were made from sapphires. They sparkled happily, and they contrasted from my dull gray eyes. They had wavy blonde hair, contrasting from my curly ginger hair, giving me the nickname Gingie.

I shook my head stubbornly. "I'm not leaving you two with that bastard," I growled out, protectively. "Now, come on and get dressed. We don't want to wake him up."

They both nodded their heads and left.

I watched them and shook my head before getting ready, also. I knew that there was a high chance that I was going to get rejected, but I didn't care. I had more things to worry about.

I paused and looked at myself in the mirror. I had multiple bruises on my body, some that couldn't be seen but others that could be covered up with makeup. I frowned slightly at my hair, wondering what I should do with it. I tried brushing it, but the brush almost got stuck, so I just placed it in a ponytail.

After that, I again looked at myself in the mirror and scowled at the little dark circles underneath my eyes. I bit back a sigh and shook my head because I knew that I couldn't do anything about them. I couldn't do anything except to get some sleep, which wasn't possible in my case.

"Happy birthday, Georgie," my best friend, Rob, said while he jumped on me, giving me a huge bear hug.

I groaned and patted his back awkwardly.

He had touched me where it had hurt, and I had to bite my lip to keep myself from groaning out in pain. He had no idea that I was hurting, and I prayed that he wouldn't find out because I knew that he wanted to go to someone and tell them about what was happening behind closed doors.

"Babe, you're killing her," my other best friend, Drew, said with a laugh while he pulled Rob off of me.

Rob frowned and lifted my shirt to see the healing scratches on my stomach. "You need to tell Alpha Colt," he said. "Or Alpha Ashlyn." He placed my shirt down, looking at me with seriousness in his brown eyes. "Or kick his ass, like I know you can."

I shook my head, sinking back into my shell, while I looked down and didn't meet their gaze. I didn't want to talk about this. I know I could just up and leave, but I didn't know where. Nor did I have the money to take care of my twin siblings or me. "I can't do that," I whispered. "He's the only family I have left. Where would Benji and Bethie go?"

Rob shrugged his shoulder. "Anywhere away from him," he replied. "What will happen if they get beaten because you were stupid to leave them? How would you feel about that?"

"Nothing will happen to them," I said with a deep growl, gritting my teeth together. "They come here after school, and they stay with me so that they will not get hurt."

"You could just run away. He wouldn't know."

"And then what? Live on the streets? We already know that there is a high possibility that I'll be rejected."

"What if you don't?" Drew asked. "You could be the Alpha's mate. We all know the rumor that she is young and is turning sixteen really soon."

I sighed and shook my head, not believing it, even though my heart fluttered a little. "When pigs fly," I said. "Come on, let's get to class. I don't want my father to get called again." And with that, I walked into the school with my friends, trying to get me to tell someone about the abuse.

***

I leaned my head on my desk, wanting school to end. My skin had been prickling since the moment I woke up, and I knew that I would be shifting soon. However, I needed to be away from the human population.

It's going to hurt, I thought to myself, pursing my lips in disgust. With all of those bruises, it'll hurt worse than without them.

I bit back a sigh of annoyance while I moved restlessly in my seat. I knew that something was going to happen, but I didn't know when or where. All I knew was that it's going to change the rest of my life.

'I don't see Alpha Ash,' Drew linked me. 'She might be the reason why you're so restless.'

I hid back an eye-roll. 'You were this restless when you were going to shift, also. Something made you so angry that you had shifted before midnight.' I bit back a smirk as I sent him an image of Rob being kissed by a boy.

Drew growled in my mind before shutting the link, and I had to bite back a giggle.

Drew and Rob were so different from each other; it wasn't funny.

Drew liked being to the side of things. He was quieter and more level-headed than his mate. He had light gray eyes that sparkled and contrasted from mine. He had curly blonde hair that seemed to glow in the sun. He was cute with boyish features that I was sure he wouldn't lose even if he grew older. He liked being on the sidelines of stuff. Unlike Rob, he had not been full on gay. He thought that he was straight.

Rob, or Robert, looked different than his mate. He had short, black hair and brown eyes that jumped merrily. He was full blown gay. He loved being in the center of attention. He was also in drama and counted as one of those geeks.

They both evened each other out. Drew had gotten out of his shell about being gay and joins a few plays. Rob had calmed down a little bit since he had met Drew and hasn't worn some wacky attire.

I guess that I was jealous of their relationship. I didn't know if my mate would help me out. Hopefully, he would.

At that moment, I smelt the most beautiful scent of all. It smelt like cherries and coconuts. I lifted my head, still smelling it. I glanced around the room until my eyes landed on the dark brown eyes of my Alpha. Oh shit, I thought.
