Chapter 10

Thaddeus's POV

I set everything aside after we finished eating and figured this was a good time to ask him some questions. I was hoping maybe I could finally figure out who did this to him.

"Aiden, can you tell me who did this to you?" 

He immediately looked nervous and looked down into his lap, fiddling with his fingers.

I hate that someone hurt him, and made him so afraid to talk to me. 

"I know you are afraid to talk to me, I know you don't know me, but I promise, I would never hurt you! You're my mate sweetheart, I would never hurt you! I care about you... I want to know what happened, who did this to you?

You don't have to be afraid to talk to me, I'm not going to hurt you. You're safe here, I won't let anyone ever hurt you again!" I said, hoping to get through to him, hoping that maybe he'll start trusting me.

He looked up a little, but I could still see he was afraid to look me in the eye still. That broke my heart. Because that only means one thing, it's been beaten into him, to never look anyone in the eyes. And here I am, his own mate, and he won't even look me in the eyes because he's terrified to.

I reach over and place my fingers under his chin, and gently raise his face.

"Aiden, look at me... It's okay, you don't have to be afraid to look at me!" I said in a soft voice.

I let out a sigh when he still wouldn't look me in the eyes, and let go of his chin.

"Can you at least tell me what pack you came from?" 

He looked at me, but still not in the eyes and finally spoke in a soft voice as he stuttered out, 

"I-I came f-from th-the Blood Moon Pack." 

"Can you tell me who did this to you?" I asked. 

He looked down at his hands and quietly whispered, 

"The Al-alpha."

I was pissed!... I felt the anger and rage course through me. 

How could his own Alpha do this to him? How could anyone hurt him?

My hands clenched tight. I felt my wolf clawing in my head, wanting out. Ramming against the barriers in my head. I felt a rumble in my chest as a deep low growl rose from my chest, as my body trembled with rage.

I heard a whimper and my head shot up to look at Aiden. He had his arms wrapped around himself with his eyes closed tight, and head down. His lower lip was trembling as tears ran down his face.

My heart broke, I immediately realized I scared him. He must have thought I was angry with him. I took a deep breath in to relax. My wolf whimpered in my head at the thought of scaring our mate. 

"Mate is scared of us!" he whimpered in my head.

I reached over and gently cupped his face, wishing I could pull him into my arms, but knowing if I did, he would probably freak out.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you… I just got so angry at the thought of anyone hurting you, especially your Alpha. The one person who is supposed to protect you."

He slowly looked up, and finally looked into my eyes. I could see he was surprised by what I said. But I was so happy that he finally looked me in the eyes.

I gently caressed his cheek with my thumb. His eyes slowly closed and he turned into my hand. My heart swelled seeing him react to my touch like this again. I had to struggle so hard not to pull him into my lap and hug him, hold him and show him he's loved.

We sat like that for a few moments until he slowly moved away. I figured I wouldn't push him anymore right now. I slowly sat back and glanced at my watch. Shit, it's 10:00 am, and I have to get out to the training field.

I really didn't want to leave him, but I promised Marcus I'd help him with training today. I let out a sigh as I looked at him.

"I'm sorry, I have to go to the training field now, I'll be gone for a few hours... Are you comfortable going downstairs?" I asked, and he shook his head no really fast. 

"Okay. Well, you can stay in the room while I'm gone. You can watch TV if you want to." I said as I backed up, then turned to go back into the room. 

We went back into the room and I handed him the remote before going into the closet to change. 

When I came back out he was sitting on the bed staring at the remote with a confused look on his face. 

I let out a slow breath when I realized he probably had no idea how to even use the remote.

"Here, let me show you how it works." I said, then he looked at me embarrassed as he handed the remote to me. 

"What do you like to watch? I can put something on for you." I said, after showing him how to use it.

He looked even more embarrassed as he looked down into his lap. 

"I-I don't know... I've ne-never watched TV before." he said quietly.

I didn't say anything for a moment, I just looked at him shocked. 'What the fuck? What, did they keep him in a fucking dungeon or something?' I thought angrily to myself, holding my breath for a moment as I tried to control my anger. I didn't want my anger to come out in front of him, it would only scare him.

I let out a sigh, then showed him how to change the channels once more. 

My heart broke looking at him, he had no idea what the remote was let alone what the damn TV was. I never wanted to kill someone so bad before as I do right now. I want to tear that Alpha to shreds for what he did to my mate.

I had to get out of here before I scared him again, I could feel the anger rising, and I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep it contained. 

I gave one last look, and my heart broke again when I saw him sitting there with his head down, looking into his lap. I swallowed the lump in my throat then pulled the door closed.
