The Tormented Mate

Chapter Four

Following my newfound mate was nerve racking. I watched as my mate was put into that truck by her boyfriend. Or what I am assuming is her boyfriend. All sudden I see him slap her. Hard. In a fit of rage, I crush the wine bottle I am holding in my hand. It took everything in me not to unleash my wolf right there. I had to keep reminding myself that he was just a human. I was having a hard time pushing aside the fact that the guy with her was probably holding her hand in that truck.

    They pulled up to a nice house. Two stories, winding paved driveway, whitewashed brick and black shutters. I parked on the opposite side of the road just enough to see the driveway and front door. I decided to turn on my wolf hearing. He parked his truck, got out and went over to her side and opened her door. He held out his hand and she grabbed it getting out of the truck. I let out a growl and my inner wolf is just screaming 'mine'.

    He leads her inside and I can hear her heartbeat speed up as she walks over the threshold. I can feel she does not want to be there. She is scared. As they enter, I can hear them take a few steps before she pauses and tell him that she is not feeling good. I am confused at his answer when he tells her that is not how it works, tells her to be a good girl and tells her to go upstairs and get ready. I am starting to feel on edge as I hear her footsteps go up the stairs in the house.

    It goes quiet for a couple minutes until I hear my mate crying. Wanting to just jump out of the car and run to her I hear her boyfriend’s footsteps start walking up the stairs. I can hear the squeak of the door as it opens. Once again, her heartbeat picks up. I hear him tell her she looks ravishing. I hear him tell her to lay down and I start to hear him kiss her body. It makes me want to vomit. I hear her speak up and tell him she does not want to do anything tonight that she feels like she is going to be sick. I hear him laugh at her and tell her she knows what happens when she misbehaves. I am starting to get very uneasy in my car and starting to think that this guy is not someone she chooses to be with.

    I decide to get out of my car and lean against a tree at the beginning of the driveway. I hear a door open and then about 30 seconds later I hear what sounds like rope being tied. I am starting to think the worst. I hear more kissing and movement. My feeling of uneasiness falters when I hear the most precious moan escape my mate’s lips. Her boyfriend makes the comment about how wet she is for him and she makes the comment right back that it is not for him. Her heartbeat spikes drastically right after she says that she did not mean to say that. He calls her a b***h and is getting angry with her. I hear her start to beg him to stop.

    I am starting to lose control over my wolf when I hear her muffled cries. This leads me to believe he is holding his hand over her mouth. I lose all control when I hear her scream in pain. As I rush to the door, I hear her beg him to stop and then hear him hit her. My wolf is in full rage mode now. I get up to the room, break the door off the hinges and find him on top of her. I pull him off her and throw him into the wall knocking him unconscious. I gently untie each of my mate’s hands and ankles and pick her up gently. She looks up at me and even with a swollen cheek and eye she smiles at me.

"My mate came for me." She says and then passes out in my arms.

I rush her out to my car and gently lay her in the backseat.

*Mind Link*

"Connor, I am on the way back. I need a pack doctor on standby for as soon as I get there." I yell

"I’ll get right on its bro, what's going on?"

"I found my mate, but she has been beaten and raped, I’ll explain everything when I get back."

    Trying to keep my composure as I weave in and out of cars and racing down the highway. I am just hoping there are no cops out tonight to pull me over because I am no mood to deal with them right now. 1 hour into our 3-hour trip I start to hear my mate moan in pain in the back seat. She is dreaming and it is not a good dream. What all has she been through I am not sure, but I am sure of one thing. I will protect her with my life, and no one will ever lay hands on her again.
