False Mate, True Mate

This story is my reaction to various "Abused Mate" stories out there. Some are well written, but many have two major problems.
1) Why would social creatures like werewolves abuse their own?
2) Often, I don't believe the "abused mate" is suffering the trauma of abuse.

Angelique is a girl who is kidnapped by a deranged rogue who is convinced she's his "long lost mate." With insanity firmly seated in his mind, he uses her as a substitute for the mate he refuses to admit has already died.

Xander finds his mate, a malnourished young female, inside the home of a pack of rogues. She's his mate, yet she acts... strangely.
