The Beta's Abused Mate

16. Aaron: Brooke, run!

"Where is that witch!" Mom growled, confused dad appearing next to her.

"What the--" he let his sentence hung as he looked around the room then his eyes settled on me.

"Mom calm down," I said placing my phone on the bed and lifting up my hands in surrender but all she did was growl at me again, Knox immediately hiding himself at the back of my head.

Her aura was too much for him to contain. It was too much for me too but I was her son so it was easy for me to withstand it.

"I'm going to ask you one more time, where the f**k is she?!" She growled, her eyes shining brightly,

It was at this point I realised that telling her was a bad idea. She was now in full beast mode and I'm pretty sure nothing I say will stop her from killing Brooke.

"What did you say to your mother that has her so upset!" dad asked, standing behind mom, slowly and cautious rubbing her arms in an attempted to calm her down but she didn't even look like she had plans of doing that.

"Don't even try to calm me Dean, that witch is back and I'm going to make sure I finish her myself!" She growled pushing dad's hands off, heading for the door but I quickly stood in her way, blocking her path.

"Aaron move!" mom growled clenching her fists but I shook my head saying,

"No mom, I'm not going to let you kill my mate. Dad please help," I gave dad a pleading look, he was the only one who could calm her down, their bond was strong and I'm pretty sure if he used it, she would go back to normal.

"Mate? Mate my foot! It's obvious she's back to hurt you again and I'm not going to let that happen!! Scarlet might have failed to finish her but I won't! I will f*****g kill that witch even if it's the last thing I do now move!" She lifted her hands and in a split second, she teleported me and I found myself sitting on the bed.

"Babe calm down," dad said now standing in her way and rubbing her arms again but she didn't even listen to a word he said.

She equally teleported him out of her way and successfully opened the door stepping out of the room.

Knowing that my mate was going to die if I don't do something, both dad and I jumped into action. dad was the first to reach her, he picked her up in his arms and quickly walked back into the room but before I could close the door,

"Aaron!" I turned my head faster than I've ever done when I heard Brooke call out to me, she was heading up the stairs with Vanessa following in toll.

Mom must have heard her voice too as she growled ready to get out of dad's arms but I quickly walked out of the room and closed the door behind me, pressing my back against it, holding the door handle tightly.

"Aaron? Where you coming to looking for me?" Brooke asked as soon as she reached the top of the stairs and jogged towards me, a ghost of a smile playing on her lips.

For a moment I forgot all about what was happening and wanted to pull her into my arms and hold her but mom tugging on the door handle immediately brought me back to reality,

"Hey, you are here early, I don't think it's been ten minutes yet," I said sounding a little out of breath.

Mom was using her strength to try and yank the door open and I was fighting tooth and nail to stop her from doing that.

"Aaron step away from the door," mom growled in the mind link pulling on the door handle again.

"Only if you promise to not kill my mate. She's not her, she's not Sasha," I tried to explain but she growled saying,

"You know nothing, she hass probably used that blinding spell on you again but don't worry, mama is here I won't let her use you like her puppet again," she cut the link and I winced when I felt the door crack open, f**k!

"Aaron are you oka -----"

"Brooke---" I cut my mate off looking her dead in the eye, "Run!"

"Why what ----" the door swung open, cutting Brooke off and both girls screamed when mom growled about to jump on Brooke.

Not wanting to lose her, I quickly jumped in between them and wrapped my mate in my arms shielding her.

I tightly closed my eyes waiting for the pain but silence ---- it never came.

I reluctantly, let go of Brooke, turning my head to look at the door way, and both my parents where nowhere in sight.

It was just me, a scared and possibly traumatized Vanessa and a confused Brooke.

" Who was that and why ---- was ---" Vanessa stuttered, shaking in her bones, hugging herself.

I let out a sigh looking at Brooke who looked confused..

"Who was that woman and why---"

"I will explain later okay. Take Vanessa with you and don't come here until I come for you,"

Brooke didn't argue, she nodded her head and held Vanessa's arm, leading her down the stairs, both of them looking shaken up Vanessa in a worse position.

I went back into the room and found mom pressed against the wall, arms above her head with dad pressed against her, kissing the day light out of her.

I saw her try to squirm out of his hold but he growled forcing her to stay put and not fight him.

Seeing that dad had everything under control, I closed the door and sat on the couch rubbing my face, I would have gone away and gave them some privacy but I'm too angry to do that.

Why would she just attack my mate like that? It would have made sense if Scarlet reacted that way since Sasha was her enemy and I was just the puppet, but not mom, she should have known better.

She's a powerful being with infinite powers, she should have sense that Brooke was clean.

"She failed to sense it last time when Sasha was here," Knox scoffed in my head and I found myself growling.

Mom should have at least heard me out before attacking like that,

What if she killed her, I would have been mateless forever and----

"Are you okay?" dad's voice rung in my mind.

I looked up at him and he was already looking at me with mom standing next to him, both of them giving me a worried look.

"No, I'm not fine!" I said getting up,

"Firstly, some f*****g psycho was abusing and hurting my mate for f*****g years! Then when she escaped, I f*****g bashed her with my car and the moment she recovered, that psycho marked her! He f*****g marked what's mine!! And now, my mom wants to f*****g kill her and I just --- my mate is about to slip out of my fingers and I don't even know what to do! DAMN IT!" I let out a growl punching the wall.

I felt my knuckles crack but that was nothing compared to the pain I was feeling deep inside.

Everything was going wrong and I didn't know what to do.

I let out a frustrated sigh sitting back on the couch burying my face in my hands.

"You look like s**t," dad said and I blinked looking at him,

"After everything, that's the only thing you have to say?" I asked a frown marrying my face.

"Your dad is right," mom said coming closer and sitting next to me, "you should go shower and maybe change your clothes, you look like you were in an intense fight then a train ran you over. You've got blood all over,"

"I'm mad at you," I said looking at her.

"I know and I'm sorry,"

She softly said brushing my hair lightly,

I let out another sigh and lay my head on her shoulder.

I can't get mad at her forever even if I want to, she's still my mom and maybe it was just her mama bear instincts jumping in.

"I know she's mom, but make sure Brooke stays away from her, I don't want to lose Cassy," Knox said in my mind coming out of his hiding place.

"I'm not letting you near her until I can be sure that you won't try to hurt her again," I said with a sigh as she rubbed my back saying,

"After what just happened, I'm going to wait till you are ready," she softly answered, still rubbing my back.

"She's not Sasha you know," I tried to assure her looking at her.

"Yeah, I know, just by one look I could tell that she was different, I'm sorry I overreacted. I was just scared that she was going to harm you again. You are my baby you know---" she placed both her hands on either side of my face and kissed my forehead, "it would hurt me if I let what happened to you happen again,"

"I understand," I said taking in a deep breath, "but I'm not letting you meet her,"

"Understood," she said giving me a sad smile.

"I love you," I said kissing her cheek then stood up, "don't leave,"

"Will be right here," dad answered sitting next to mom.

I went into the bathroom, looked myself in the mirror and sure enough I looked like s**t, my clothes were wrinkled with dry blood on them, my lip equally had dry blood on it and my hair was all over the place.

I stripped down and after washing up and dressing up in sweatpants and a loose t-shirt, I walked back into my room and found both of them sitting on the couch drinking tea.

"Come sit, I made some tea for you," mom said grabbing the kettle that was on the table and pouring some of the tea in the extra mug cup that I'm guessing she must have teleported here while I was in the shower.

She scooted closer to dad and I sat next to her helping myself.

"I'm sure there is a solution,"

"What do you mean?" I asked her while taking a sip of the tea.

"Your mate, I know you called me to tell me about the mark and whether there is something that can be done and I'm sure there is,"

"And what is that apart from killing him?" I asked looking at her and setting my cup down.

"Well you will have to mark her. If you do that then the other mark will fade and yours will stay,"

"But mom, he's also her fated mate so then how will the mark fade when he's got every right to mark her?"

"The mark of the one whose intentions are pure and whose heart she holds will stay," she said shrugging.

"That's not helpful," I said finishing up my tea.

"Think about it honey," mom said ruffling my hair a bit. She blew me a kiss waving me goodbye then she and dad disappeared taking the dishes with them

"Mom was helpful," Knox said, "We want her right? And our intentions for her are pure right? So we just have to mark her and then that asshole's mark will fade.

"Are you forgetting something?"

"what?" Knox asked.

"We don't have pure intentions remember, I've been planning on getting revenge on her for hurting me,"

"Yeah but that was before we knew she wasn't Sasha and plus you are the one that had those malicious intentions not me!"

"Yes but we are one so my intentions are yours too which means we are doomed,"
