Mate worth loving

Chapter 4: Loving Family

*Lila Pov

My freaking aunt is here yelling at me to get in her car like a maniac. I look over at Jason and his friends and they all have concerned looks on their faces. It looked like they were all having a silent conversation with each other.

"Hey um, thanks for the offer but it looks like my aunt came to pick me up. I better go before she gets too angry."

I gave them all a small smile and get in the car not looking back. My aunt Clara speeds off as soon as I shut the door behind me. I look in the rearview mirror and watch as they slowly disappear. I look over at my aunt and for some reason, she is fuming. I don't even know what she is doing in Minnesota. She told me she was never going to see me again and don't contact her for anything. She was just as bad as my father. We had stopped seeing her when I was little because she was pretty violent. She's not a drunk or anything just unstable. My mother thinks she might be bipolar and without medication, she can be pretty dangerous.

"What are you doing here Aunt Clara? If you had told me you were coming I would have met you at the airport." I'm trying to come off as friendly as possible hoping she won't do anything drastic. My body is still healing from my father's last beating so I can't defend myself at the moment.

"SHUT UP! Do you think I want to be here you stupid little w***e? Who were those people you were with him? Were going to go open your legs for one of them you little slut?!"

This is bad she is really off the rails. She must have driven here, there is no way she would have been allowed on a plane in this condition. Something must have happened for her to come and track me down.

"I lost my job! You probably said something to them, didn't you? Like mother like daughter!! Well, I'm going to be staying with you until the money from your parents come through. I need it to look like I'm and taking care of you."

"What money are you talking about? Mom and dad didn't have a will or anything, and they sure as hell didn't; have any money."

"I'm talking about their life insurance money! You are 18 now so they will try to give it to you! But not if I am your legal guardian they won't!"

She is freaking nuts, she has no idea what she is talking about. I look over and see that she is doing a 100 in a 60 zone. We are going to get pulled over and that will make things a million times worse. I look around to see if there is something I can distract her with and then I notice her arm. She is on something. She has track marks all up and down her arms. A maniac bipolar on no medication mixed with whatever drugs she is on could very well be my death sentence.

"Aunt Clara I need you to slow down! You won't be getting any money if we are dead."

She looks over to me and starts laughing like a psychopath. She takes her right hand and smacks me straight in the nose as hard as she could. I grab my face in pain and begin to feel the blood dripping out.

"Don't f*****g tell me what to do you little t**t!"

After a few more minutes we pull up to a run-down house that looks like a crack house and two guys come walking out of the front door. My aunt hops out of the car and runs over to the smaller guys and starts making out with him. I don't know what's happening or who they are but I'm too terrified to move. She stops kissing the strange man and starts talking to the other one and points to me in the car. He looks over and smiles as he walks to my side of the door and rips it open. He grabs me by my hair and starts to pull me out of the car, I start screaming and kicking hoping that someone will come and help me and all I remember next his is foot coming towards my face and everything going black.

Something doesn't feel right. She looked scared as she got in the car, Claire and Hayden felt it too. We hopped in the car and started following them. Good thing I told Hayden to go pack to the packhouse and bring it to school. I was hoping this was going to be a good ice breaker. We are a good couple of feet back from them when the car starts speeding up. I look over to how fast we are going and Hayden is already going 80 in a 60 zone. They were going twice that. They turned a corner and we lost them.

"Hayden!"

"I know, I know! Give me a second! This asshole in front of me won't get out of my way!"

Hayden makes a sharp left but the car is nowhere to be seen. I ask Hayden to pull over and I roll down my window hoping to catch a whiff of her. He starts the car up again and I smell her and not just her. I smell blood. And I can only smell it clearly in my human form if there is a lot of it. I jump out of the car and starts sprinting up the street. She's just a few houses up, Hayden and Claire tight on my heel and we stop at what looks like a drug house.

I take another sniff confirming that she is in there and I run-up to the front door kicking it in. I see the woman Lila was claiming to be her aunt on top of some dude naked. I don't see Lila but I know she is in danger. I walk up to her aunt and release a loud growl, trying my best not to let my wolf take over. I know the second I do he will kill anyone in his path that's keeping him from our mate.

"WHERE IS SHE?"

She just looks at me and seems to regain her composure and smirks at me.

"What the little skank? She is getting what she deserves, although she is probably enjoying it. But hey your pretty cute you wann-

Before she even had a chance to finish that sentence I lift her up by the neck and slam her into the wall. The guys she was having s*x with bolts out the front door. I bring my face inches away from hers with my fangs out. I want to rip her f*****g head off.

"ALPHA! Lila is over here!" Claire found her thank god. I turn back to her aunt and threw her across the room. Her body makes a loud thud sound as she hits the wall. I heard some bones crack but I don' think she is dead. I run over to see Hayden about to be punched by a man twice his size. I run over just in time to catch the guys arm and threw him off of him. I look over to the bed and see Lila, my mate. Her face was covered in blood and bruises and her shirt was torn to shreds. I turn back to the guy and start pounding into his face until he stopped moving. I would have kept going but Hayden pulled me off him.

"Jason STOP! Lila needs you! We need to get her out of here and to the pack doctor!" I stand up seeing nothing but read until I look over at my mate. My heart feels like it is being shattered into a million different pieces. I scoop her up in my arms and carry her bridal style. We quickly exit the room and make for the front door. We hear someone moaning and look over to see her aunt crawling on the ground. I think she has a few broken ribs. She's lucky I didn't kill her.

"I think Hayden and I should wait here and call the cops and ambulance. Don't worry I will make sure my father keeps this under wraps."

I simply nod and take the keys and make my way to the car. I put Lila in the passenger seat and make sure she is securely strapped in. I hop into the driver's side and make my way to the packhouse. I glance over to her and make sure she is still breathing with ease. What else has she endured? Is this the first time this has happened to her or was this a regular thing? What kind of family treats someone this way. She is never going back there or seeing her aunt again. If anything this made one thing clear. I am all the family she needs. She just doesn't know it yet.
