My Human and Abused Mate

Chapter 5

Blake's P. O. V.

I have felt anger before, many times.

Rage? Sometimes

Wrath? It was a first.

How dare someone touch my mate?

Was the second thing on my mind as I looked at Maia's cheek. I am not allowed to speak of the first thing that occurred in my mind on this book.

I looked at the red bluish mark tarnishing the glow of my beautiful mates' skin.

It was obvious that someone had hurt Maia. I swore to the moon Goddess that when I find out who the person is they'll suffer dearly.

"Who did this?!?!" I growled. My wolf wanted out. Jace wanted to turn on full animal and tear the person limb by limb.

I tried to calm my wolf when I saw Maia's eyes turn bright with fear.

'Out mate is afraid of us' my wolf cried. I mentally rolled my eyes 'well maybe if you actually try to control yourself and not shift into a big fluffy wolf she wouldn't be afraid of us" I replied.

He mentally rolled his eyes just as I said. 'You need anger management"

I closed my eyes and feel them turn back to the shade of my normal sea-green eyes. "I'm sorry" I apologized,"I just don't want to see you hurt, who did that to you?" I questioned.

Maia looks down at hands, as if they were the most interesting view in the world.

"I-I have to go" she mutters.

Maia's P. O. V.

I wanted to tell him so bad.

I trusted him more than anyone I ever trusted in my life, even though I've only known him for a short time. He was my new friend but I couldn't risk my parents finding out. I couldn't risk him getting killed. I already lost one friend I'm not planning on loosing another.

"I-I have to go" I stuttered opening the car door and getting out.

I made my way to the school entrance but was stopped by a hand grabbing my arm.

The sudden action made me stiffen. I had to bite my lip hard to avoid screaming as the wounds on my back jerked with force. I was pretty sure they were bleeding again.

"Maia-"

I cut him off.

"I...can't tell you" I whispered sadly. His eyes widened in shock and hurt which made my heart break. I felt safe around him but despite that I just met the guy, I can't just go and tell him.

I can't tell him what they do. What they will do if they knew I made a friend. For both his protection and mine.

He looked strong and seemed to be able to take care of himself but my father was another story. He wouldn't stop until the boy in front of me would be 10 feet underground if he got any word of this.

"Why can't you tell me?" He asked his tone getting louder. His voice making me flinch.

"I know I just met you and all but this isn't how we're supposed to treat each other. Mat- I mean friends don't keep things as big as these from each, first the bruise and now it looks like someone slapped you. Why can't you understand that I would protect you if you told me!" He shouted.

I flinched again from his raised voice. Why did it have to remind me of my parents? Why do I constantly feel threatened despite being away from them?

"Please...just stop talking" I beg.

"Whatever it is, whoever they are, I can make it right. Trust me angel."

I ignore him.

"I can help you Maia, I can-"

"I don't need your help!" I exclaimed, "I just want the pain to stop".

The bell rang.

We had already been late and now we're even later.

I was probably going to get a detention and get another beating for going Home late again, not that its too surprising. I'm sure father would just make up an excuse to get the pleasure of hurting me, I was simply doing him a favour by giving him a valid excuse.

"Please, just trust me" he pleaded

I meet Blake's eyes for the first time since the argument and don't say anything to him.

"I... can't trust anyone. I'm sorry" I whisper to him my heart still beating fast as I storm of to my next class.

Are all people the same?

Do they all have one goal in their lives? Ordering people around? Yelling? Shouting? Abusing power? I've been abused my whole life by my parents, my fear made me weak but I just couldn't take it.

Is Blake really who I thought he was or is he different?

On my way to class I couldn't get the image of his eyes turning pitch black out of my mind.

Was it really my imagination?

Blake

I regretted yelling at her the second the words slipped right of my mouth.

I was just scared and angry, not at my mate, goddess no but at the person hurting her.

Is it so bad to want to protect her?

I lost it when every word and bruise started to acclimatise.

Now I couldn't blame her for not trusting me.

'Guess who needs anger management now Blake?' My wolf asked 'cause it's definitely not me, I'm supposed to be the animal here but noooo you're acting more animalistic than me'

I told him to shut up and not make me feel even guiltier than I already was.

I wanted the person who hurt her tracked, found and killed at the very first sight.

No, no, in the other case I won't kill him. oh no, that would just be too easy for the person. I will t*****e it, for the person did not deserve a personal pronoun. I will make it regret the day it was born, the day it decided to put a hand on my mate.

Maia didn't deserve this kind of suffering.

No one did.

The day passed more quickly than I thought it would.

I didn't manage to see Maia at lunch, then again she wouldn't talk to me and she had every right not to but it made my heart break.

After a few more lessons, I ended up getting after school detention due to a lack of understanding between me and the human teacher.

Max had continued talking and trying to make a move on Maia, despite giving a warning.

I might have acidentally punched, kicked and beat him till I heard some bones c***k. Of Course it was an accident...maybe.

So right now Max was at the nurse. Though I wasn't worried at the very least, he's a werewolf so he'll heal fast maybe he would heed my warning more seriously next time.

I chuckled to myself, there definitely won't be a next time if he knew what was good for him.

When I got the chance to go home and make dinner for Elena, I didn't mention or say anything. She must have realised that I didn't want to talk about it.

A day passed.

And another.

Thursday evening soon arrived and by then my sister was ready to explode.

I was just sitting on my own in our living room after making the decision to watch an extremely sentimental movie when-

'Ohana means-'

*cue television being switched off'

"Hey I was watching tha-"

"Okay! I've been waiting and waiting and respecting your decision to keep it to yourself but this thing is eating you alive faster than I can say 'make better pancakes!' She took a deep breath. "You're my brother, it's my job to kill any thing that makes you depressed"

I smiled. "No, your job is to be my annoying baby sister who can make me over the moon with happiness and within a few seconds make my life a living hell" she laughed " I do enjoy bullying you but you're changing the subject.

I sighed, there was no escaping her. We were related after all.

"I found my mate"

"It's about damn time"

"But that isn't the problem, I messed up"

"Nothing new there" she rolled her eyes.

"She's a human and came with different bruises and injuries everyday and these past few days they're worse and worse. When my wolf saw a bruise on her face, he lost control and we yelled at her"

'Sure blame the wolf' Jace says.

"That poor girl" Elena whispers "she probably has some personal problems and you dumb a*s heads made it worse! You better go early to school tomorrow and be on your knees the next time you see her. I don't care if you're the soon to be Alpha, if you do not apologise to your mate I'll make you're life even hellish. With my pranks, you won't be able to sleep at night"

The day ended there.

The next morning I arrived at school an hour and a half early, just to be sure that I'll be there when she arrives;

But she didn't.

Maia didn't come to school that day, making me even more worried than I already am.

I considered leaving school to look for her but I was already on probation for accidentally beating up Max, and unfortunately for me the headmaster was a human.

I kept thinking about Maia for the rest of the day.

In Maths, "Blake, will you please tell me the answer to the first question of the homework that was due today"

"Maia" I answer.

In History, "Who was the cause of World War II?"

"Maia"

My first break was when lunch time was initiated and I took the opportunity of continuing to sulk.

Percy was no fool, despite his odd looks. "What happened dude?" he asked, as he sat down on the table next to me with his mate joined to his hip. "You look like you just got attacked by a chupacabra." Percy stated and looked to his mate, "It wasn't you was it?I know how aggressive you can be sometimes"

His mate hit the back of his head in reply making him chuckle.

I really shouldn't be jealous of such a simple gesture.

'Well I am' Jace retorts, 'Look at how happy they look, I hope you didn't ruin our future plans boi'

Isn't my conscience the best at consoling people?

"Ignore Percy over here" Becky glares at him, "whatever happened between you and that adorable human will bound to get fixed in no time okay?" she smiled. "The moon goddess doesn't just randomly select a person to spend your life with".

"Thank you Becky"

"Um, I don't mean to interrupt whatever you two have going on but, another rogue has been spotted on our territory"

My spine stiffened.

There have been a number of rogues circling our pack territory lately and the fact that their scent disappeared right when we got there did nothing to ease my worries.

Werewolves, in particular, rogues, have different scents depending on what form they are taking. While in wolf form their scent is rotten, they smell entirely human when they change back unlike those who belong to a pack.

"Double the security, double the trackers and tracers. We have to find them before they end up causing chaos".

My beta nodded and I trusted that he would see to it.

By the time lessons continued, I was officially in another world of my own. My thoughts going back and fourth from Maia to the safety of my pack to the rogues and back to my mate.

When the school bell sounded, signalling that the end of the day had come, I was ready to kiss it if I didn't have a soulmate already.

'We just need to tackle one problem at a time,' Jace instructed clearly feeling the toll of my feelings.

Wait

A light bulb lit up in my head

'That's it' I suddenly thought.

I'll just follow her scent, go to her house and apologise.

I'd say I was sorry, show her that she can trust me,find out who hurt her and accidentally beat up too.

No matter what or who it was, I'd protect her against all her demons and gods.

Against all her monsters and past ghosts.

I'd save her.

My plan was perfect.

At least that's what I thought.

I didn't know just how much my plan would do more harm than good.
