Chapter 5
Walking back from diner I saved some time and gave a small glance to the woods. It was around 9 pm the moon was shining brightly. I shut my eyes and let the cold breeze hit me. I could feel tiny droplets of water falling down my face. Walking back to the path I found my house. I noticed the light that meant dad was there. I gulped and walked inside. Detecting the house I noticed my dad standing there. Before I could apologize his hands connected my face. A sharp voice echoed through the living room.
"Where were you b***h" he said while grabbing a fist full of hair. My scalp burned by his grip. My vision slightly blurred.
"I asked you a question" he said again.
"I w-as wal-k-ing by th-e wo-ods" I said. His fist made contact with my face CRACK. Numbing pain shot through me, black dots spotted my vision. I stumbled back with the taste of blood in my mouth. Tears stung the corners of my eyes, but I blinked them away. I tried my best not to show any emotion. The more emotion I showed the more he would torture.
"Don't lie to me b***h" he said. He grabbed my fore arm and dragged me to the basement. I felt his nails dug in my arm a small whimper escaped my mouth. He threw my lifeless body on the ground. Laying on my stomach I made an attempt to get up. Before I could make a could aim he ripped my shirt off. I looked back to see my dad he had an emotionless expression on his face. He looked at me like predators hunting down their preys.
Smack...
I let out a scream when I felt the whip connecting to my back. Staring at the wall in front of me I let out my tears. I felt another wave of pain again in my back. Letting out a small scream I felt some liquid was sliding down my back. After a couple more of whip he grabbed my hair again.
"You useless piece of crap" he screamed. He slapped me across my face my cheeks stung on this wave of pain. It was definitely going to leave a bruise. I felt down on the ground my head hit the ground hard. My head started to throb. A wave of nausea crossed my body. I let out a small scream. Trials of tears flowed down my bruised cheek. I couldn't stop the pain that I received every second. I laid on my stomach life less and the next thing I knew was a knife carving my back. Biting my lips to hold the scream I felt my blood in my mouth.
He trailed the knife down my back. I could feel blood pouring out of my back. Sweat covered my forehead I bit my lip hardly not to scream. I knew if I screamed he would take this torture to next level. My head screamed him to stop. He carved something on my back.
"Thats my little w***e" he said while getting up. I could feel my thick blood running down my mouth. The next thing I knew was a strong liquid burned my back. Instantly I found that it was alcohol. I couldn't control my scream so I loudy screamed. My scream echoed through the basement.
"What did I told you about screaming" he said. I could feel my wounds stinging by the alcohol. I shut my eyes and silently sobbed. Hoping this torture would end. I felt a sharp pain through my scalp. I found out that he grabbed a fist full of my hair. He flipped me to the other side. My back collapsed down the cold floor of basement. With my teary eyed I looked up to see my torturer his eyes were pitch black. I gasped I knew this would be the next level.
He pulled my hair down. My neck was clearly shown. I looked up to the roof. This was the worst part of torture. I felt the injection on my neck. The liquid ran down my throat. A strong Stinging sensation followed the liquid down my throat. Burning everywhere down my system. After couple of seconds he pulled the syringe out. The liquid burned in my body. I let out a sharp scream when it reached my heart Burning my heart dad kicked me in my stomach.
"b***h you should have died instead of Samantha. Useless w***e you are no good for anything." He screamed while kicking my stomach with his foot. I clutched my stomach tightly and turned to the other side of the room. He walked out of the basement.
Tears streamed down my face I sobbed loudly. I laid there for hours looking up to the window. I could see the full moon. I cried My screams and his words repeatedly played in my mind. My cries came deep from chest, a small voice escaped down my bruised lip.
"Why me" I screamed. My whole body was suffered the pain, I couldn't endure this pain anymore. Getting up from my position I walked to my room. I clutched my stomach tightly. The liquid was still burning my body. I could feel the liquid on my throat all the way to my heart burning slowly killing me. Walking back to room I dropped on my bed. I removed a blade and started to cut.
On every cut the pain lessened. I made 10 cuts on each. Carefully I saw my thick blood pouring out from each of the cuts. I shut my eyes and waited for darkness to consume. Every night I hoped that I would never wakeup again. A tears spilled down and I drifted to deep sleep. Hoping that there was no morning.
---
Pins and needles were the perfect state in my body. I opened my eyes slowly, I was laying on my bed. Memories of last night screamed in my mind. Letting a small tears escaping my eyes I got up from my position. I wiped the tear away and looked around. Blood was smeared on my bed on the floor. Thankfully I had 2 hours to clean up before going to school. Getting on my feet a strange sensation passed my head. I shut my eyes tightly hoping that the pain would go away. I needed something to eat I had lost a lot of blood.
I cleaned the whole place in an hour throwing away my blood sheets I walked up to my room which was clean.
I walked to the bathroom and cleaned my body. Bruises formed on my body most of them were blue and black. Wrapping a towel I glanced at the mirror. My cheeks were bruised with a light blue mark. I had a busted lip. Letting out a deep breath I grabbed a concealer and concealed my bruise. I grabbed a black shirt and black skinny jeans. I grabbed some money, bag and phone. Walking downstairs dad was standing there he had his arms folded. Today was going to be a bad.
"Where the f**k is my breakfast" he screamed while slapping my face I felt on the ground with a thud. He grabbed my upper arm I winced on his touch pulling me closer.
"Make fast and leave" he said while walking away. Tears streamed down my eyes I couldn't control them anymore. I walked yo the kitchen and made breakfast. I set the breakfast on the table and walked out of the hell. My head started feeling dizzy and light but I ignored it and walked to school. People were scattered around the I went to my locker and grabbed my books. A wave of trauma passed my head I blinked my eyes and walked to my class.
My first class was English. I mentally groaned, Mr Williams made me feel uncomfortable. I walked to the class and made my way to the last seat. After couple of seconds Mr Williams walked in. He smiled at me and stated to teach. I couldn't understand a single word. My head felt light, I felt like pucking. Vision started to blur I could Mr Williams on his desk. I raised my hand up to get his attention. His eyes snapped to mines.
"Um" before I could say something I fainted on a chest.
Ethan's POV:
I grabbed my bag and walked out of my flat. Flat you say yes I live in flat. I prefer staying Alone rather than having kids screaming and couples kissing in the pack house. Mom and dad tried s**t loads of time to get me in that castle. I always said no, and now here I am standing in my apartment which I love. Its so peaceful and cozy. I have only a one bedroom, a small kitchen and living room. No one bugs me here. I walked to my car and drove of to school.
Stopping by my mates smell hit me. I never knew that she had a smell. I walked to my first class and found the source of the smell. I looked at her she looked beautiful like usual. Her eyes snapped to mines I Gave a big smile. She looked away, something was bothering her and I needed to know. But something else was bothering me why the hell she smelled different from yesterday.
"Good morning-"
The class was half way there and I noticed that something was bothering my mate. I will definitely talk her about it after class. I sat on my desk and ran my fingers through my hair. Snapping my eyes to Anna she raised her hand I looked at her I could tell she was feeling dizzy her eyes were dropping.
"Um" before she could say anything I ran to her using my werewolf speed and she fainted on my chest. I wrapped an arm around her waist and the other one I gently placed one her head. She looked so fragile. Moving her head from my chest she landed on my hand. I took a second to closely look at her she had a bruise on her cheek and one on her lip.
"Anna" I said while tapping her face. Her eyes were shut and she feel on my chest again. She was unconscious I looked around to see the students that eyes were glued to Anna. I growled and they turned there attention. I gently scooped her in my arms and walked out of class. She weights like nothing. Her head was on my chest. Her skin was cold. I walked her to the medical center in the school.
Reaching a hospital bed I gently laid her on it, her head tilt to the other direction.
"Alpha, What happened" I turned around to the Mrs Murphy shes the nurse in the school and af course a werewolf.
"I don't know she just fainted in the class" I said.
"Oh okay let me check her go out and please wait" she said I nodded saying yes and walked out.
After 20 minutes she came out, she looked disappointed. I stood up from my chair.
"What happened" I asked her.
"Alpha, she has lost a lot of blood, she hasn't ate anything froom 2 days and she is really weak. I placed a blood drip and gave her some nutrients injections she will be awake in couple of hours. You can leave I will inform you when she wakes up." She said.
Why would she strave her self? I needed to find out.
"Thank you Mrs Murphy but I will be staying her until she's awake" I said.
"Are you sure I mean it will take at least 3 hours to wake up" she said.
"Yes I am sure" I said.
"Is she your ma-" I cut her off by saying "Yes she is my mate make sure no one know I don't want anyone to use her as my weakness" I said. I didn't want to put her in any danger.
"Yes alpha I won't say anyone. Congratulations on finding her" she said.
"Thank you" I said and she walked away. I opened the room door and walked in. My beautiful Mate was lying on the bed her, her hair flowed around her bed. She had a IV on her hand. I reached to the bed and sat next to her. Her breathing was slow and relaxing. I tucked back a piece of hair behind her ear. She moved to the left side and thats when I noticed a mark on her cheeks. I brushed it, the bruise was covered with concealer. My wolf growled no one would touch our mate.
"She's hurt" my wolf said I agreed with it. Who would hurt our mate would have a death wish.
I trailed my hands down her body and stopped at her wrist. I pulled the sleeves up and that's when I saw fresh cuts. I growled slowly not wanting to wake her up. I needed to have a serious talk with her.
Why would a beautiful person do this?
The rest 3 hours passed blur. I stood there not wanting to leave my beautiful mate.
Anna's POV:
I opened my eyes to a different place. I placed my hand on my head and rubbed it. How did I reach here I was lying on a bed. I stood up to see Mr Williams, his hands were folded across each other he was standing in the corner.
"What happened" I said.
"You don't remember anything" he said while walking to me.
A image came in my mind. English class I fainted.
"I fainted" I said.
"Yes you did, the nurse said me that you had lot of blood loss, I saw your cuts in your wrist. I did not know why you do it but I have planned to call your dad if you are not going to stop." he said. I widen my eyes when he said about dad. Dad would kill me if he got a complain from school.
"No no dont say dad" I said. He raised an eyebrow at my expression.
"Only if you promise that you wont cut again" he said. He didnt know what crisis i go through everyday.
"Okay" I said. He nodded.
