Abused Unloved Mate

It's not a celebration without a family reunion

I went to my suitcase and picked out the dress I brought just in case we ended up winning. It was A silver tight low cut dress. the slit in the front stopped just above my belly button and the back stopped just above my ass. there was a slip on the side that went up all the way to my unmarked upper thigh. I felt exposed wearing it because I have never worn anything this revealing but Taly said that Zeke would drop dead wearing it. the rhinestones sparkled with my movements. I paired it with a pair of white heels. My hair was styled in a loose up do leaving a few pieces of hair out in the front to cup my face. I put on smokey make up and winged my eyeliner. I finished the look with a vixen red lipstick and jewelry. I stood in the mirror for a long time. If you would have told me a year ago I would be here I wouldnt believe you. For one I would never wear anything revealing and for two I would be the center of a party much less invited to one.  i took a few more glances at my self and came back into the room. Zeke had to leave because he was obligated to stand with the other Alphas and Betas but he promised to meet me at the end of the stairs.

I heard a knock on the door and I knew it was time. Unfortunately when I opened the door I wasn't expecting that my escort would be Cole. The second he saw me his jaw dropped and he just stood there. I felt the hair rise up on my back as I could see him canvasing my whole body. My body started to melt under his gaze. I couldn't stand here I needed to move.

" what are you staring at?" I cut in hoping to break him out of his lust filled look. I felt like he was going to devour me with his eyes.

" Deadly as venom, Graceful as an angel, and beautiful as a Queen." He reached forward to kiss my hand. I couldn't help it when his lips touched my hand I felt it all the way to my core.

" My Beautiful flower, I thought when you chose Zeke over me you would at least go easy on me. Look at you good enough to eat." he put his hand over his heart.

"Good enough indeed" I heard Cole whispering as he broke contact looked down. I pretended I didn't hear him and made my way to Grant Looping my hand around his arm.

" Do you think Zeke will like it?" I asked Grant with Cole following Behind us. I was determined to ignore him. he rejected me. I shouldn't care that he is jealous. serves him right, He thought I was weak so I would show him exactly what it felt like to feel weak and powerless. He would watch me Love someone else and never touch me.

" I think Zeke will literally f**k you on the stair before the kings finishes his speech." Grant and I chuckle but turned our heads when we heard Coles wolf growl. I felt him shooting daggers into my back and when I turned around he was gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. I shrugged it off. I wasn't going to let him get to me. Zeke had promised me a night to remember. As we approached to main entrance Cole stepped in front of us and introduced us.

"May I present to you this years Champions from the White Tail Pack Rosella and Grant. The crowd started clapping but when we stepped into the room everyone became quiet. I became super nervous and I mind linked Grant.

" WHy are they looking like that? I feel horrible I knew I shouldn't have worn this dress."

"Rose calm down they are looking at you because you are breath taking and at this moment you are the most beautiful women in the room. everyone right now wants to either be you, Kill you or date you." he winked at me and I began to blush.

As we made our way down the stairs my eyes Locked with Zeke. His eyes were Flickering and I could feel his emotions were going between Love, Anger and lust. I approached him with a smile but I was confused.

I kissed him on the cheek. "Whats wrong?"

" I cant stand the fact that all the unmated wolfs are eyefucking you right now which isn't helping with my restraint of taking you to the closest closet. My cheeks turned red I leaned up and licked the sensitive part of his neck.

"they can look but tonight you are the only one touching me." he let out a moan and slipped his hand around my waist and grabbed it tight sending me straight into his chest.

"I am the only One to be f*****g you period. Come with me." He pulled me to the balcony and led me to the garden.

" I was only kidding baby. I am not having s*x with you out here." I was giggling but the mood shifted when he got down on one knee.

" Marry Me"

"What?" My mouth was open. I knew we were talking about the mating ceremony but with him down on his knee holding up the most beautiful Ice Blue diamond I have ever seen.

"It reminded me of your eyes." As if he could read my thoughts.

"Rose, when you came to our pack you had nothing. most people in your shoes would have died, but you didnt. There is alot you have missed out on in life and I want to give you some life back. Rose I want to spend the rest of my life in your arms. I want to wake up everyday with you on my chest. I want to wipe away every tear you will cry, I want to be every reason you laugh, I want a dozen pups with you. Rose our love was written in the stars by the Moon goddess herself. You are my forever Icecream date and I love the way You scrunch your nose when you dont want to do something. Or the way you push yourself when your body tells you enough. Rose the list goes on but at then end of they day I know right here right now True mates or not what we have is magic."

I fell down to meet him crying and kissing him in every place I can.

"Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!"

He beamed with joy and picked me up and spun me around. He placed the ring on my finger and helped me fix my makeup. we headed back to the Ballroom to meet our friends.

"where have you guys been?" megs and Morgan asked

"I guess He really couldn't wait to have you." Grant chuckled

I waited for a moment and then help up my hand.

everyone jumped with excitement.

"My baby Girl" Morgan started crying.

" not officially off the market until you are marked. I still have a chance." Grant winked at me.

" not much of a chance. Im hoping to fix that problem tonight" Everyone's eyes widened as they made the "O" face. my cheeks instantly turned red as I looked away.

The king, Cole and my asshole of a Brother approached me.

" congratulations to the champions I hope you are enjoying the party." the king said as he was canvasing the room.

" Oh we most certainly are MY King. Tonights been perfect. Tonight we celebrate my daughters victory and her engagement." she said as she was holding up my hand to show the kind the ring Zeke just gave me.

Coles eyes widened before they turned to anger. I saw his eyes flickering back and forth again. They have been doing that alot today I hope that he is ok.

COLES POV:

When I saw that ring I was Instantly ready to kill him. The fact that she looked so happy tore my heart up inside. I wanted to be the reason she smiled. I want to be the reason she was excited to get up in the morning. I had to do something because I felt if I grit my teeth any harder I would break them.

"Congrats Rose, Its nice to see you again." Max said looking at Rose with a guilty look. He always said that his sister never wanted to spend time with him and was a daddy's girl which is why he spent most of his time at my house because he didn't like being third wheel to them.

"Oh you Know my Rose? Did you Know her from childhood." Morgan asked but before Max could answer Rose chimed In.

"Max Was a year older than me so we didn't really cross paths. Never really saw him much." I could see the pained Look on his face. Why wasn't she claiming him as her brother and why was he going along with it?

I was about to question him when I heard clapping.

"I guess after everything you still managed to con A bastard into marrying you. I always knew you were good with your mouth." the crowd seperated and I got a better look at him. It was my fathers Beta and max's dad.

" GO HOME." Max commanded but something was off about John.

" Oh come on I used to f*****g organize these things. You don't think I have every right to be here. Watch your tone with me boy because I f*****g taught you everything you know. Besides I heard Daddys princess was here. Oh how I have missed your touch."

John Looks over at Zeke. " Tell me son. Do you like beauty mark I gave her? I would have to say probably some of my best work." John took a step forward.

" Don't f*****g touch her" Max said. this time using his Beta voice. What kind of family reunion was happening right now?

"PLease, Don't Start acting like a human on my account." I thought she was Talking to her father but when I looked over she was shooting daggers at Max.

"Rose dont speak to your brother that way." Saying that the people she was with looked shocked then the shock turned to anger and they pointed their glares at Max who just looked at the ground.

"How can you defend him?" Rose looked at me.

" Look I have know Max since we were kids and I know you guys drifted apart because he felt like the third wheel around you and your father. Just forgive him rose he just felt like he didn't fit in the family. I know he has always been there waiting for you guys to notice him" I was looking at Rose. She paused for a moment then I saw her eyes turn from Ice Blue to a purple. Her wolf was close to taking over. Rose gripped her hand then let out a growl so loud that made us all take a step back.

" The third wheel is that what he told you, Please since Max can't wait to play the victim lets tell them about the real Max?"

"Rose please. " Max looked worried. the whole crowd was quiet as rose walked up the stairs so everyone could see her.

" I have had enough. especially with the rumors going around in my old pack. Max wasn't a f*****g third wheel. He didn't want to be at home because he couldn't get sleep from all my screaming. he got angry because the thought of me laying in a pool of my own blood was a mood killer. Max never felt apart of this family? thats funny because at least he had a bed. at least he was allowed to shower, play sports, see friends, and what did I get? I got to sleep On the basement floor knocked out, and the nights I wasnt I got to spend them crying, I would get extra beatings if i wasn't home 20 min after the last bell rang. So exactly where were you big bro? Were you there when I was beaten because YOU lost a game? Or how about when I had To have my mouth raped and was choking on Fathers sperm everytime you brought a girl home because he was jealous and missed his glory days. For your birthday you got a new Jeep Correct?  let me tell you what I got the day of my birthday." Rose Lifted up her dress and What I saw next made my stomach churn.

"Lets see while you were with your buddies getting ready for the Alphas Ball I was on the basement floor getting A f*****g TATTOO WITH A SILVER KNIFE. SO PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE f**k WERE YOU. He said I was unloved, I didnt believe that was true until a few hours later when I met my mate."

I didnt know how to react. I quickly Became furious. " you Knew this was happening and you did nothing. what kind of f*****g beta are you? I was about ready to hit him when rose cut me off.

"Oh don't act like you didn't play your part."

Her eyes shifted towards me.

" That Night I showed  up asking my Mate for help. I had dealt with all the abuse because I knew that it would all be worth it when I stood in his arms. But when I found him I believe His response went something like this. How the hell are you to be my Luna and save our pack if you're asking me to help you with whatever trivial s**t you pathetic girls have? What is someone teasing you at school? You don't have enough shoes please tell me what you think me being with you Is going to do? raise your status and you will be liked? Let me tell you one thing that will never happen and I will tell you why. you won't be liked because you're with me you will be tolerated and you are not fit to be my mate or my Luna I need someone who can speak up and stand up for herself. Isnt that right Cole. You are just as bad wanting me to stick around until you could knock that slut up.

I thank you all because I saved myself and found a family who loves me so go to hell John."

I never have seen Rose this way. My heart broke and I wanted to drop down and beg for forgiveness. but at the same time I was completely aroused. In this moment I saw how wrong I was and the Moon Goddess gave me the perfect Queen. I was In love with her.

"Oh my darling when I go to Hell I will embrace it with a smile. the only difference Is I will be making sure to take you with me."

Just as he said that my warriors Mindlinked me.

"Large pack of Rouges breaking the boarder. We're under attack."
