I watched as Dorian thundered towards me, and even before he reached me I knew that what happened next would hurt. I braced myself, lowering the forcefield as I knew it would do me no good in this situation. He slapped me around the side of my face with enough force to knock me to the ground, the left side of my face burning as it began to bruise instantly. “How dare you attack members of my pack!?” He shouted, his body vibrating with anger. I pulled myself onto my knees, keeping my head down as I shook from both fear and fury, of course he wouldn’t ask me what had happened, he just believed the blonde whores words as though they were from the moon goddess herself. What had really happened didn’t matter, I was the outsider, the rogue. My words mattered little to those who already saw me as a vermin. He slapped me again, before kicking me in the hip and then the back, though I made no

Hours passed before Dorian stormed from the room, leaving me in a pool of my own blood and his semen, my body and mind broken as I laid there, staring at nothing in particular. I had always been told that the bond between mates was sacred and special, but he had treated me with nothing but cruelty. The tears had dried up long before he left, my screams turning into nothing but whimpers of pain and anguish. How could anyone do this? What had I ever done to deserve what he had done? I cried out when I tried to stand, the bruises that swamp my body a painful reminder that what he said was true, I was worthless. I was nothing. He could do whatever he wished to me and I would be powerless to stop it, he was stronger than I could ever hope to be. An alpha.   I fell onto my knees, unable to stand as the pain was too unbearable, my silent sobs the only sound I could hear. Before I knew what was happening I was crawling to the bathroom to do what I could to rid myself of

Eventually we pulled apart, our eyes locking in a silent embrace as we took each other in, as though seeing each other for the first time. My heart swelled with love instantly, my breath shaky and a little nervous. Would he kiss me? Would he treat me better than Dorian did? Would he love me? Thousands of questions propelled themselves into the front of my mind, bombarding me with an endless monologue of love and hope. I want him. I want to meet his wolf. Kayla snarled, trying to push herself forward in excitement. Not right now, we need to get back to his pack and make sure we weren’t followed. I counter, my own excitement present in my tone. She whined softly, sadness coating his animalistic voice. But definitely later? I promise. I whisper to her. “I’m sorry to interrupt, but we really must ge

I finish the chicken and rice within a few minutes, Jamie stroking my arms and cuddling me the whole time, not once rushing or chastising me for taking too long. It was refreshing to have someone like him, and I can’t help but think this is how all mates should be, this is how the moon goddess should place people together. Alphas like Dorian don’t deserve a mate, he doesn’t deserve anyone. I wonder if he is looking for me, if he knows where I am through the mate bond and what would happen when he arrives. Would Jamie fight him? Would Dorian threaten this pack? I didn’t want a war to break out, but I also didn’t want to go back with Dorian, I never wanted to see him again. “What are you thinking love?” Jamie asks me, noticing that I was frowning. I sigh deeply, “what’s going to happen when Dorian and his men arrive?” “He can’t for

How about breakfast?" He asks me. "Are you hungry?"i nod my head, a smile coating my lips. "Yeah sure. What did you have in mind?""pancakes?" "yes!" I smile, jumping from the bed. "I'll need some clothes then."He bellows with laughter, "I can help you with that."he jumps up from the bed and walks into the walk-in wardrobe, I sit on the edge of the bed and wait, not sure I want to go inside. The memories of what happened at Dorian's still fresh in my mind, making me nervous and unsure. He comes out a few minutes later with a long blue jumper and some boxers. jamie was much larger than I was, so I knew that it would fit, it would even reach my knees, most of Dorian's did the same. I guess I was small for a wolf, but I wasn't sure if that was correct or not because all I had met was alphas and betas, the most powerful wolves.I thank him for the clothes and quickly put them on whilst he goes to shower, my thou
