I look over to Wade he looks behind him to make sure Jason is definitely gone and picks me up off the floor and carries me up the 2 flights of stairs bridal style. I hold tight to his chest and breath trying to calm myself. I have already cried enough today I won't let anymore tears fall. I thought it was bad when I found out Wade wasn’t my mate but this has definitely topped that. Wade places me softly on the bed then closes the door so we are away from prying ears.
"You are Jasons fated mate really?"
I nod. His face drops and I see tears form. I grab his cheek.
"I will be fine Wade"
I don't believe my words at all. I guess I am fated for a life of misery. But he doesn't have to be. He can get away now. I say.
"Don't worry about me, anyway this frees you up to go find your fated mate"
It hurts me to say the words but I know that this can only end badly for both of us if he hangs around.
"I don't want my fated mate I want you"
I want him more than anything but I know now that its is not possible. I suddenly get a massive pain in my chest. I double over on the bed. Wade touches me and I roll over trying to get away from his touch. I don’t know why I always found comfort in his touch but now for some reason I just want him to leave. The pain is intense.
"Piper what is happening"
"I-i-i don't know "
My wolf speaks. It's our mate he is being unfaithful. I repeat that to Wade. The pain is getting worse. Wade gets on the bed and pulls me close wrapping my is this warm embrace. I don’t fight his touch anymore, feeling the comfort return once more. He is holding me still as I want to thrash out in pain, all I hear in my ear is.
"It's okay baby girl, I am here I will always be here for you"
The pain dies down and we here footsteps so Wade quickly exits the room so Jason doesn't make good on his promise to kill us both.
My door slams open and that amazing smell fills my nostrils. It should give me calm instead it fills me with dread. He stands there and sniffs.
"Has my brother been in here?"
He growls.
"Yesterday he was in here"
He walked straight over to my bed and punches me in the face.
"You and your little f**k buddies are over right"
"Wade and I are not like that"
He scoffs.
"You think I haven't seen you 2 all lovey dovey, all over each other, touching all the time, it makes me sick. He is pathetic pining over you like that and you are just a dirty slut who cant get enough. What you had it is all over now. YOU ARE MINE."
I nod and he grabs me by the throat.
"Answer me slut"
"Yes"
His grip tightens
"Yes what?"
He lifts me by my neck and off the bed my feet dangling off the ground.
"Yes Alpha"
He smiles.
"That's better you mutt, just remember you will never be my luna you are still alive for three purposes to keep me satisfied, to bear my pups and keep my wolf happy. I will never accept a rejection from you so don't even think about uttering the words because you will be punished severely if I hear them."
He punches me so hard. I feel myself losing consciousness
Before I black out I feel him throw my body on to the bed.
I wake in the morning my neck is still throbbing. I look in the mirror as I get dressed. My face and neck has a massive bruise. I try my best to cover the bruise on my face with makeup and just just on a jumper and a scarf covering my neck sufficiently. I walk down to breakfast.
Wade is there.
I give him a quick smile and try and hide my face under my long hair. His mouth goes to open but just as he does the dining room door slams open. Jason growls.
"What are you doing here?"
I spin around to face him. A surprised look on my face, what does he mean? His eyes boring holes into me.
"I am having breakfast before school"
"Did I say you could leave your room"
"No Alpha"
I lower my eyes and look at the floor.
"You will no longer be attending school"
"What, but…….. "
He steps forward throws me to the ground and drags me by my hair out the door. I get one last look at Wade as I am dragged out. A look of fury on Wades face. I shake my head. There is nothing he can do. He will just end up getting hurt. Jason drags me up to my room and throws me in.
"You are to stay here at all times. Your meals will be brought to you. If you leave this room I will know."
He slams the door shut. I just lay there where he left me. I hear a quiet knock on the door. I finally get up and answer the door. Wade is standing there his eyes cast down.
"I am sorry I didn't help you"
"You can't Wade, the last thing I want is for you to get hurt"
"Can I come in?"
"You can't, he can smell if you have been here. I got away with it yesterday but I don't know if can get away with it any longer"
He moved his face up and looked straight in my eyes, wide eyed.
"Okay I will sort it"
"Please don't do anything"
"It's okay baby girl I will sort it"
I shut the door I can't stand to see him any longer, It hurts. All I want to do is run into his arms run into the safety I have always felt in them. But I can't put him in danger like that.
I whisper through the door.
"I will see you later okay, stay safe, don't do anything stupid, I will be fine"
"I won't baby girl"
He paused
"Piper?"
"Yeah"
"I love you"
I sigh I don't even answer him. My heart sinks. Those are literally the only words I have ever wanted to hear from him. But now they just stand through my heart. He needs to move on. I am stuck in this situation he shouldn't have to be. I hear him sigh and walk away. I sit on the bed and turn on the TV. There is a knock on the door. I jump up and there is an omega, I can't remember her name. She passes me my breakfast.
I go to reach for the tray and she flinches. I touch her gently on the arm.
"It's okay I am not going to hurt you, you have nothing to fear from me"
She smiles weakly at me and thrusts the tray at me and runs off.
I eat and sit back on the bed and start scrolling through my laptop trying to look up some online learning. I mean if I am not allowed to go to school and I am not allowed to leave my room, I got to do something with my time. I look for a while and get a bit overwhelmed and sit back and choose a movie to watch. I relax down and try to not think about the terrible situation I am in. I actually nod off to sleep.
