The Beta's Abused Mate

15. She looks like Sasha

Stalking her proved to be more difficult than I anticipated as she and Vanessa kept moving around the clothing store which was making it hard for me to hide.

Her scent was everywhere, my entire body just wanted to claim her as mine but I had to swallow it down and just watch her from a distance.

I knew she sensed me but I didn't expect her and Vanessa to ambush me like that.

I wasn't embarrassment about being caught no but her coming close like that and biting her lip, trying to suppress her laughter had me melting into a puddle. f**k, she's cute.

Knowing that if I stayed there longer, my control would snap and I would end up claiming her, I decided to just turn around and walk away.

"We should go back and just finish what we started," Knox said in my head and even though I agreed with him, I knew this was neither the time nor the place.

I decided to just go into the men's bathroom and splash some water on my face to try and calm myself and Knox down.

Once I was sure my head was calm and clear,

I followed her scent out of the mall building, leading to the parking lot but something felt off.

I could smell Vanessa in one direction while Brooke was in another direction.

"Why are their scents leading in separate directions, did they fight?" Knox asked in my head, my legs leading me towards Brooke.

"I don't think ----"

Brooke's scream cut me off and I found myself running towards her, only to find a man standing close to her with his mouth on her neck.

Red! That's all I saw as Knox completely took over ready to end the fellow but only stopped himself when he saw that he was an alpha and even though I was from royalty and of alpha blood, I knew killing an alpha was against the laws unless it was a duo or the alpha was already on the royal black list.

After making sure that the damage done on the alpha was enough to keep him down for a few days, I picked up my mate and took her back to Vanessa who was leaning on her car her hand on her head.

I put Brooke down and both girls hugged while my eyes found themselves looking at the large blood covered bite mark that was on Brooke's shoulder.

My mate was marked by another f*****g alpha!

"If you had just listened to me, we would have marked mate and she wouldn't have been marked by another!" Knox growled in my head pacing about ready to take control so that we can go and finish him off.

"That's because she's not ready. And plus you know the laws, I can't mark someone without their consent!"

"And what are the consequences of doing that?" Knox thoughtfully asked still pacing around.

"Well we get brought to the King's throne and if the shewolf rejects the mark then either banishment to the outskirts of the pack or going rogue and you know going rogue is the worst thing that would happen to a wolf,"

"Well, he marked her by force and since you will be the Beta soon, I say we take the law into our hands, and kill him slowly and painfully,"

"He's a dead man," I mumbled, agreeing with Knox, my mind coming up with all forms of torture that I was going to put on that f*****g alpha.

I heard Brooke say something aabut I was too far gone in my thirst for revenge.

That fucker was going to die! He claimed what's mine and to hell with the law that stops me from killing an alpha, I'm going to kill him then apologize to my uncle and accept whatever punishment he's going to give me.

"Please Aaron yell at me hit me or whatever just don't be silent," Brooke shook me lightly, drugging me back to reality.

I wanted to hold and kiss her but the f*****g mark on her shoulder was preventing me from doing that, I wasn't going to touch her until it was off her.

"Comfort her, we will figure out how to remove that mark later," Knox pushed me, "she's already hurting. If you give her a cold shoulder, she will think you hate her,"

"But I don't," I replied to him.

"Well she doesn't know that, and I'm sure she doesn't want that mark on her so hold her and assure her that you are with her even though she's currently someone else's," he growled the last part and I found myself clenching my fists.

Just the mare thought of him laying his hands on her and completing the bond didn't settle well with me.

"Please say something, I can't take the si-----" I pulled her close to me and crushed my lips on hers, silencing her.

I felt her lips move in sync with mine and I pulled her closer, deepening the kiss while holding her tightly in my arms, afraid that if I stop and let her go, he will come and take her away from me.

No I can't let that happen. Brooke is mine! To hell with this mark on her shoulder, she's f*****g mine and I won't let him have her, I won't let him f*****g take her away from me!

I continued kissing her with all the strength I had until I felt her hit my chest.

I pulled away realising that she needed air.

She took in a deep breath laying her head on my chest and I loosened my hold on her but didn't let her go. She was mine, she was f*****g mine not his!

"You are mine! Not his!" I growled holding her closer and she wrapped her arms around my neck, sniffing lightly.

"I didn't know you both loved each other that much,"

I looked at Vanessa and her gaze was already fixed on me and Brooke, a sad smiling playing on her lips.

"We should go, before he comes back," I instead said ignoring the comment. I lifted Brooke up and she wrapped her legs around me, her face buried in my neck.

"I will go home then," Vanessa was about to open the door of her car but,

"No you are coming along," I stopped her, "I don't know who those people where and you are currently the only female Brooke is familiar with. I'm not letting you get hurt,"I said leaving no room for arguments.

Thankfully she didn't argue and instead followed as I lead the way to my car.

She sat in the back seat with Brooke while I sat in the driver's seating driving back to my apartment.

Upon arrival, I went straight to my room locking myself in, I needed some private time to think about how to get rid of the mark and kill that alpha.

I knew that if I let Brooke into the room, my brain would shut off and my d**k would go up and I don't want to have a boner while trying to think about something important.

"Aaron!!" I heard Brooke knock on the door a few seconds after I locked it.

"Please talk to me, I need you. I promise I haven't accepted Drake. Please open the door and talk to me," she pleaded pounding on the door again and I could hear muffled sobs coming off of her.

"She probably thinks you've locked yourself up because you hate her," Knox stated the obvious.

I let out a sigh, opening the door and found her standing there tears in her eyes, still wearing the same torn hoodie with her shoulder covered in blood.

Vanessa was equally standing there, giving her a look of pity.

I fully opened the door, and she quickly held on to me,

"Please don't reject me, I won't be able to survive," she whispered her tear covered hazel eyes staring deep into mine.

"I would never do that," I whispered back wiping away her tears with my thumb.

" I promise this mark means nothing to me," she explained her eyes on mine, "I haven't accepted him I promise. We already rejected each other and nolonger share a bond,"

"I know," I lightly smiled at her hoping that she would stop crying.

Her crying like this was breaking my heart but I wasn't in the right state of mind to comfort her.

The only thing I wanted was to find a way to remove that god forsaken mark on her shoulder.

I led her into my room and made her seat on the couch.

"Don't go Vanessa, stay," I said to Vanessa when I saw her turn around about to walk off, "I want you to go with her,"

"Aaron---" Brooke began to say but I pecked her lips saying,

"I'm still upset,"

Her face faltered a bit looking like she was ready to start crying and I continued,

"Not at you but at him for marking you, I need to find a way to get rid of the mark and make sure that you have nothing to do with him,"

She pouted, looking at me with those big hazel eyes of hers that had me almost curving and letting her stay but no, if she stays I will f**k her.

" I Promise it will only be for ten minutes," I assured her, kissing her briefly.

She didn't stop pouting but at least she nodded her head in understanding.

I cleaned off the blood from her shoulder and carefully patched it up then went into my closet and after taking out another hoodie, I put it on her.

"Are you --- okay? Are we ----- cool?" She hesitantly asked looking at me.

"Yeah," I brushed her off but I was far from being okay, deep in my heart I knew that sooner or later he was going to use that mark to find her.

What if she decides to leave me and go with him?

"You are zoning off," she placed her warm hand on my cheek and I looked at her,

"Don't worry I'm fine," I helped her stand up and after one last glance at me, she and Vanessa walked out of the room with me locking the door behind them.

I sat down on my bed and took out my phone calling the only person I knew would help me, mom.

She's the royal beta female and also the queen of Atlantis, if anyone can know how to get rid of a forced mark, it's her.

"Aaron, hi my baby," she said as soon as she picked up,

I couldn't help but chuckle at her pet name for me.

"Mom I'm not a baby anymore," I chuckled and she giggled saying,

"You will always be my baby, did you miss mommy?" She said and I found myself smiling.

Of course I missed her, I haven't seen her in two years despite her being able to teleport.

"No I don't miss you," I answered and she gasped on the other side.

I let out a chuckle as she started cussing me out in her mother tongue and threatening to come beat me up if I don't admit to missing her.

"You know I always miss you," I admitted with a heavy sigh laying my head on the pillow and staring at the ceiling,

There was a few shuffling sounds and,

"You don't sound like your usual self, is everything okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine," I lied taking in a deep breath.

"Tell me the truth," she said.

I let out another sigh saying,

"I've found my mate,"

"But you don't sound happy," she responded on the other side.

" She looks just like, Sasha---"

A fierce growl erupted off of her and in a few seconds, she was standing in my room her eyes gold.
