The Abused Mate

Chapter 7 finding out

Trish's P.O.V 

  As we walked to the cells there were many different noises, some were screams and others were people begging and pleading to be let out. It was a dark and gloomy place, we walked down a path and finally got to the cell where the rogues were being held. There were two females and three males, the one that turned to look at me was a she-wolf with blue eyes and blonde hair, she was 5.6 and she was pretty, but smelled like rogue, 

  "So it is true, you are still alive. Why are you here? I bet you're here to gloat about us being captured." The rogue said, staring at me and I just shook my head. 

  "I'm not here to gloat. I'm here to ask why? Why did you kill my parents and then try to kill me? What did we do that was so horrible for you to do this to us?" I asked her, looking her straight in the eye. Another got up on his feet and looked at me with his brown eyes, he was 6.2 and had short brown hair, he stepped forward,

  "We were told to kill you, not your parents. The Alpha wanted you dead, but your parents just got in the way." The man said and I was as confused as ever. 

  "Wait, what Alpha?" I asked him.

  "Alpha Keith. Your father was his brother, he was next in line when Keith stepped down, but the council was making him step down and if his brother got to be Alpha, then you were next in line. He told us he didn't want a woman to rule over the pack." The man said, making me gasp at his revelation.

  "You mean that Alpha Keith was my uncle." I questioned him and the male rogue nodded. Finally the others stood up from the ground.

  "He told us if we didn't do it, he would kill our families, but he came anyway, killing half our rogue pack. He kept saying he couldn't have any witnesses, we were the only ones to get away and we ran until we couldn't run anymore. We were gone for a few years, but we all decided to come back because we heard you were still alive and we needed to get to you, to tell you what really happened, but it was too late. The vampire King caught us and now we are in here." They each said, filling in the blanks on why and how everything happened. As I listened, tears formed in my eyes. All these years, I was blamed for killing my family and it was Alpha Keith all along. He tortured and beat me, but it was all his fault. I was crying my heart out.

  "We didn't want to do it, he threatened us and he still killed half of us. I'm sorry, I'm so very sorry." The blue eyed female rogue spoke up, but I had heard enough. 

  "It wasn't just Keith, who else was involved in this? I want to know why and who?" I demanded, I knew the bars on the cell were made of silver, but I didn't care and put my arm through the bars, grabbing the rogue by the shirt and making her face smash into the bars.

  "PLEASE LET ME GO! PLEASE IT BURNS PLEASE LET ME GO!" The rogue screamed, as her face burnt from the silver. I pushed the girl back and she had a long fat burn mark on her face.

  "For years I was beaten, tortured and bruised, I was unable to eat for days, sometimes weeks, no water for days, look at my scars." I screamed at them, pulling my shirt open and showing them the scars on my body. 

  "And you come here saying your sorry. Sorry for what? having me beaten or killing my parents?" I yelled at them, my wolf was angry and she wanted to come forward, but I held her at bay. The blue eyed rogue whimpered from the pain on her face.

  "Do you realize I was cut, burnt, beaten, tortured and raped just a few days ago and then almost the other day before they came to help me and you come and say your sorry." I yelled and the blue eyed rogue's mouth dropped open.

  "I'm sorry." The blue eyed rogue whispered and I started Trish laughing. 

  "You keep saying your sorry, but you haven't told me what you're sorry about." I asked them, then the other female finally spoke up. 

  "I'm sorry for everything, I'm sorry you had to go through all this for years, but he killed our families too." The rogue said and my eyes went to the green eyed girl, she had long blonde hair and was 5.5.

  "Oh boo f*****g hoo, cry me a f*****g river. Were you beaten and tortured as well, no you all ran away and left me alive to be what I am today, a scarred up mess that is to f*****g scared to even mate with my own dam mate." I yelled at her and she shook her head.

  "I've had enough talking to you stinking rotten rogues." I yelled and ran from the cells and out of the dungeons. I ran until I couldn't run anymore and found myself at the same lake where my family and I went fishing that day. I took my shoes off and sat down on the ground to let my feet dangle in the water. I let the tears run down my face freely and was crying for hours, when I suddenly heard twigs snapping.

  "I know you're there, you might as well come out and sit beside me." I said, turning my head. 

  David's P.O.V 

  I knew I was busted. I tried so hard to stay quiet and to just watch over her, but I stepped on some twigs and made them break. Trish called out, knowing it was me and so I came out from behind the tree and sat beside her.

  "I didn't mean to interrupt, I was just here to watch over you and to make sure you're ok." I said and she nodded. 

  "David I'm sorry, maybe I'm not the mate for you, maybe you should just reject me and then you can find your second chance mate." Trish said, looking down at the water. 

  "What do you mean You're not the mate for me? I have waited many years for you, girls threw themselves at me, but I never took them seriously. When I found you, I knew you were the one for me. Why do you say this?" I replied, looking at her stunned and she softly sighed. 

  "You said you would wait for me, no matter how long it would take you would wait, if you're true to your word, that you would wait, I need to find myself and if you want to help, you're more than welcome." Trish said, still not looking at me. I turned to look at the water and I could see the many fish that were swimming underneath the surface. 

  "Trish I love you, if you want help I'll help you in any way I can. Only you can find yourself, but I'll help you and if you want to finish school, If you want to go to college or if you want to become anything, I'll help you." I said, turning to look at her, she nodded and held my hand, I smiled at her. 

  "Come on let's go mom is probably worried about us." I said, she nodded and we stood up, beginning to walk back to the castle. 

  Trish's P.O.V 

  I couldn't help but sigh, thinking to myself that I have had a hard life and I will have a long road ahead of me, but I will make it. I have to.

  "What are we going to do with the rogues?" I asked and David smiled.

  "Dad said that he will leave that up to you, it's for you to decide." David replied and I nodded.

  "Let's have them stay in there longer, I'm not ready to let them out, plus I still need more answers." I said and just as we got to the castle, Sandy came out and hugged me.

  "Are you ok sweetie? I know that must have been hard on you." Sandy said, still holding me tightly. 

  "I'm ok, I just need to find myself. I told David to let the rogues sit in the cell a while longer. I still need answers, but I'm not ready to talk to them again just yet." I said, nodding.

  "You must be tired from today. David why don't you take her up to your room to relax and get some rest." Sandy said and David nodded, taking my hand in his and walking me inside. We walked up the stairs and I walked to the bathroom to put on my nightgown, then walked back into the bedroom.

  "I am pretty tired, your mom had me try on almost everything and we got lots of stuff." I said, slightly yawning. David put on the TV and gave me the remote. 

  "Watch whatever you want to watch." David said and I started channel surfing when I landed on a show called WWE wrestling and it caught my eye. David looked at me with amusement, as he laid back watching it with me. About an hour into the show I turned to him and David looked at me.

  “I want you to know, I love you too." I said and he smiled his brightest smile.

  "Really? You do?" David asked me, surprised, causing me to giggle.

  "Yes I really do." I replied and yawned a big yawn. 

  "But right now I think I'll check to see if my eyelids have cracks in them." I continued after my yawn. 

  "You go ahead, I'm going to sleep as well." David chuckled. I turned on my side and David turned towards me, putting his arm around me and holding me close to him. He kissed my forehead and we both drifted off to sleep, with me softly snoring.
