Lina POV.
I am sitting in class waiting for it to start, when I suddenly smell that new scent, I noticed this morning. Forest and chocolate, I want to look around to find out where it comes from, but I keep my head down so people will just leave me alone. Then the smell comes closer, and I notice two guys sitting down on the empty tables in front of me and the one next to me. The smell is so strong now and for some reason, it calms my body.
“Hello, I am Alex,” the voice next to me says and it almost feels like his voice is caressing me softly. I keep my head down even it is so hard, and answer.
“Hello” I don’t want to be rude.
“The bonehead in front of you is Logan” I hear the guy in front of me chuckle a little and I feel a small smile on my lips.
“what’s your name” the guy Alex asks. Still not wanting to be rude I say.
“Lina.” then the professor enters and starts talking about a project that must be made in groups. I shrug for myself. I hate working in groups. People always treat me like shit, and I will end up making it all by myself.
“Next group in Logan, Lina, and Alex” I look up and see Logan looking back at me with a smile then I turn my head to look at Alex, and it feels like the world is stopping.
I look into his stormy gray eyes, and it feels like I am being sucked into them, and I for a while I have forgotten how to turn my head to look down.
“Okay, Lina get yourself together,” I tell myself, and look at the papers the professor is handing out. I try to read the assignment when I hear Alex say.
“Should we go somewhere to work out how we do this?” his voice suddenly sound deep and husky. I nod my head and follow the two guys out of the classroom.
Alex POV.
I can stop looking at my beautiful mate, she is perfect. After a little, she turns her head and looks at the papers with our assignment. “It is her, and she is perfect” I mindlink Logan and hunter is going crazy singing “mate, mate, she is our mate”
“Well get yourself together man, you’re almost drooling. We should go somewhere quiet to work on this, and u can get to know her.” Logan mindlinks me back. I nod my head to him; I know he is right.
“Should we go somewhere to work out how we do this?” she nods her head, and we all leave the classroom. She is quiet and doesn’t say much when we enter the hall, I am trying to think of a place to go when Logan says.
“What about outside by the trees, where we can sit in the grass without being disturbed and find out how we should do this. “I smile to myself; my future Beta is smart.
“That sounds like a plan. What do you think Lina?” she looks at us a little nervous but then she says.
“Y, yeah okay,” she stutters a little making me wonder if she is scared, which makes hunter growl in my head.
We go outside, now knowing she is scared or very nervous I set off to the trees that a nearest the school and parking lot. That seemed to calm her a little.
We reach the trees and sit down all of us looking shortly at our papers.
“We should start with deciding what sort of business we want to make,” Lina says quietly. We nod and Logan says.
“Maybe we all think about that, and we can look over the ideas the next time. Also, find out how we are going to do this assignment. When, where, and so on” Logan says, and I speak.
“That sounds like a plan also we need to make sure we all do this and that we do it together.” Logan and I look at Lina who is looking very surprised.
“You okay Lina, did you have another idea?” I ask her softly and she shakes her head.
“N, no” she stutters, and I wonder for a second if that’s something she does a lot.
“I am just surprised, usually just end up making everything myself.” She says quietly.
“Oh, well you don’t have to do that this time.” She smiles a little and nods. She does again look I’m her papers and we do the same when she asks.
“You are both werewolves, right?” she asks carefully.
“Yes, is that okay?” I ask feeling a bit scared that maybe she hates us, she nods.
“Oh yes it’s fine, you two don’t mind being stuck with a human like this?” she asks. I laugh.
“No not at all why would we?” she looks up and I can see her beautiful eyes again.
“Oh, just most of you would.” She says nervously. I smile
“Well, we don’t mind, and my father has let the humans here know about us for a reason. It’s easier to keep the peace if we all get along.” I say realizing I just gave away that I am the alpha’s son, she looks at me with wide eyes.
She is so beautiful I just want to grab her and kiss her lips.
Logan stands up and I look the way he is, Mike, Emma, and Emily are on their way, the class must be done. They reach us and Logan kisses, Emma. Lina and I stand up as well and I say,
“Lina this is Mike, Emily his mate, and Emma Logan’s mate. “I said introducing them.
“Guys this is Lina,” they all say hello and I can tell that logan already told them, that Lina is my mate, but that she doesn’t know yet.
“Hello, Lina it is nice to meet you,” Emma says. Lina smiles a little.
“Hello. Nice to meet you too, you are new at the school, right?” Emily smile and answers.
“Yes, we are we met Logan and Mike when they and Alex visited our pack 6 months ago, when we found out we were mates we of course moved with them.” She explains. Lina nods her head.
“I have heard about mates. It must be nice to know you have someone who will love you always.” She says suddenly looking a little sad. They all nod their heads and smile. She smiles back but doesn’t say more.
Just wait baby girl, you will have that, we will love and protect you for the rest of our lives, I think for myself when Lina suddenly says.
“Oh god, I need to go sorry. Alex, Logan, see you tomorrow to work on this.” And just like that, she runs off. I want to run after her, hold her, kiss her tell her I am her mate and that she is mine only mine, but I stay, I know I have to take my time. Something isn’t completely right, and I need to find out what it is. We go to our cars and drive home. Not knowing what hell my sweet, beautiful mate is living through.
Lina POV.
I get home and go upstairs to my room. It does not take long before Ken enters without knocking first. He does not say anything but just gets closer, and then slaps me across the face.
“I saw you today slut. Remember not one word to anyone. And remember no one is allowed in your pants unless I say so.” I don’t say anything I just nod my head, and he hits me again but this time I stumble and hit the wall with my head.
No one else is home yet. And he grabs me pushes me up against the wall and squeezes my breast so hard that I whimper in pain. He let go and takes his hands to my jeans and open them before forcing them down. Then he pushes me to the desk I have in my room and leans me over before I roughly push inside me and once again rape me. He puts a hand around my neck, making me look into the mirror, while I feel like he is ripping me into pieces. He finishes and roughing throw me onto the floor before kicking me in the stomach.
“Remember bitch not one word.” Then he leaves my room.
Alex POV. I cannot wait to get to school today. I want to see my beautiful mate. But she is nowhere to be seen. I wonder if she is okay. “No, she isn’t okay,” Hunter says in my head “Do not say something like that Hunter,” I growl at him. “You felt that pain yesterday, Alex, I know you did. Because I did. Our mate was in pain and a lot of it.” That makes me furious. And I keep looking around for her. As I head to class. It’s already 2nd period and still no sign of her. But I know she must be in the next class. And there I see her when I enter. I feel relieved and go to sit at the table next to her. “Hey Lina,” I say, feeling calm now I can see her and smell her. But then she lifts her head and looks at me and I let out a threatening growl. She looks down again and whimpers. As Logan enters the classroom. I get down on my knees next to her. “Lina, Sweetie, I am sorry, I did not mean t
Alex POV. I run over to Lina. My beautiful mate oh Goddess no let her be okay. “Lina, baby girl, please wake up beautiful.” She doesn’t answer. But I feel her breath normally. I pull off my hoodie and put it on her. While I am mind linking Logan, Mike, and their mates. “Guys I need help; a group of guys was assaulting Lina she is badly hurt. Her clothes ripped and she passed out.” I hear growls and feel their sympathy through the link. When Emma says. “Alex brings her to the school nurse. She is a wolf from our pack.” I silently thank the Goddess for that Emma has a dream of becoming a doctor. So, she checked these things. “Emma you are a savior, thank you.” I lift Lina in bridal style and hurry towards the school nurse. “We will be right there Alpha; Emma will bring some clean clothes for her,” Logan says and the link closes. I reach the nurse’s office and she g
Lina POV. “You are going home with me. I will get you your own room. But I will also know that you are safe.” I hear the words coming from his mouth, though I am not sure I heard right, and then it hits me what he said. Take me home with him. I cannot do that. I am not 18 yet, if he does, he will get in trouble. “But you can’t, I mean, I am not eighteen I am not of age yet, my foster parents decide how my life is going to be until I am.” I whisper in a low tone and look down, not knowing if he heard me. It’s not that I want to stay at my foster home, because I really don’t. I just don’t want him to get in trouble. He has been nothing but sweet to me. Mate or not, he has only shown concern for me when I was obviously hurting, and he saved me. I would hate myself for causing problems for him. My mind is going on overdrive, and I don’t notice that Alex has come closer before he with 2 fingers under my chin lift my head, so I look into his beautifu
Lina POV. I hurried up to my room, found my 2 big travel bags, and started to fill them with my clothes and the few books and stuff I had that was mine. I was getting out of this house, away from Ken and my foster parents. I did not have a lot, as a foster kid, we learn to not have more belongings than we can carry. Walking down the stairs it is deadly silent down there. For a moment I got worried, maybe Alex had changed his mind, and left without me. When I entered the kitchen, I let out a breath, I didn’t even know I was holding in. Alex was still here; he didn’t leave me. He heard me stand up and came to me, caressing my cheek. “You okay Beautiful?” I nodded my head, feeling all relieved. He looks me in the eyes, and I can see he know why. “I would never leave you.” He whispers I’m in my ear. And I relax. “Okay, let’s go Beautiful, time to go home.” He says giving my foster parents a nod. I look at them before saying “Bye.” T
Lina POV. Alex leaves the room closing the door, leaving me to look at my new room. It’s hard to believe, that it looks like my life, is finally turning into something good the bedroom walls are painted in soft cream with dark curtains, a huge king-size bed in dark wood is standing in the middle of the room, against the long wall. There is a small desk, TV, and a little cozy spot with a soft couch setup. I open the first door Alex pointed to and see a big walk-in closet. I stand looking in shock, thinking I never will get to use such a big closet. I close the door again and go open the door there must be a bathroom. I can’t help but gasp, this is the most amazing bathroom I have ever seen. It has a big shower filling the whole wall in on side om the room. At the other end is the biggest bathtub I have ever seen. An in middle the bathroom counter and the room is so peaceful. Mary has stocked it with all kinds of soap, shampoo, conditioner towels, and everything that should be
Lina POV. We are sitting in McDonald’s, Alex got me a burger with fries and a soda. We are all just sitting talking, the guys about someone they call routes, Alex told me it is wolves that are not living with a pack. That most of them are dangerous and crazy beasts. Emma and Emily want us to go shopping soon. But I tell them I don’t have any money. I was never allowed to have any, but sure I can go with them if they want me to. I like the sisters, they are sweet, and they don’t care about me being an orphan. Emma and Emily got here before the boys like a month before, and had noticed me in school, but seen how everyone always was nasty to me. They tried getting people to just leave me alone. Said I was not hurting anyone. And I guess the wolves mostly listened. I am grateful they tried. “You have not been at the mall, have you?” Emily asks. “Not really no, “That sucks, we would really love it if you came with us.”
Lina POV. When Alex leaves my room, I lay down and hide under the blanket. Never have I felt like I did when he kissed me, it was like I couldn’t get enough of the taste of his lips, and tongue. And I love the sparks that always come when he touches my skin. My body was all warm and I felt myself get wet for him. Something I have never been before. With that, I fall asleep. **dream** Ken is coming into my room, I look at the watch it says 02:27 AM, I wonder why he is here so late. I don’t like him much. He always looks at me, as if I am a piece of meat. I tried telling my foster parents, but they told me to stop being a liar. When he sits down on my bed and traces a hand up at my leg. I try to push him away, but he grabs my hand with the other one. “Stop being difficult sweetheart.” He says in a deep lustful voice that scares me. “Leave me alone Ken. Just go away please.” I whisper. “Mmm, I love it when you beg, but stop
Alex POV. I wake up warm and sparks all over, and find it hard to move, I open my eyes and see my beautiful mate using my chest as a pillow and one of her legs tangled with mine. I smile to myself, being happy she needs me just as much as I need her. I let my fingers run over her arms and neck, when I softly run them over, where my mark one day will be, she moans softly in her sleep, making me chuckle. After a while, she starts moving and she wakes up. She sits up fast and then she blushes when she sees I am awake. “Morning baby, did you sleep well?” she blushes even more and nods her head. I smile big at her and pull her down to me. “Good, I did too. I love falling asleep when you are in my arms.” She smiles at me. “I think it’s the best sleep I ever had.” Her sweet voice says, smiling. I pull her to me, so she is laying close to me. “Me too Baby, you always welcome to sleep here beautiful.” She nods her head. I get closer to her face and let
