8: “I swear, i will never hurt you.”

I opened my eyes and i have a really bad headache. I couldn't see clearly at first but then after blinking a couple of times, my head stopped spinning around.

Toby was there sitting by the edge of the bed, looking at me. "Are you okay?"

I looked around and I'm laying in my bed. My real bed.

"Uh, what time is it?" My voice cracked.

"It's 1. You passed out for hours."

I tried to get up from my bed but Toby stopped me. "Wow.. just lay down." He covered my body with a blanket. "Your sweater is torn apart and mom isn't here, she's taking care of grangran because she's sick. And I thought that maybe you would want to change clothes yourself." I can see Toby is blushing. I mean it's pretty normal. We’re close to each other, but we have our own personal space.

"Thanks." I said.

"So did you...uhm, did the alpha, uh.. i mean did you both...did he mark you?" he stuttered. I surprised Toby by hugging him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. 

"Toby, i'm so scared.. i don't wanna be with Alpha Flynn." I cried.

"He hurt you... did he?" He asked, hugging me back, unsure what to do.

"If.. if he marks me, i don't know what i'd do. I can’t be the Luna." Toby's grey shirt is now wet because of my tears.

"It's okay mitz, you're here with me now." He whispered. I know very well that Toby respects the Alpha with all his heart and he looks up to him. He talks so highly of him. I know he can't do much about this issue and i’m certainly not hoping too much. I don’t want Toby to get in trouble for defending me when there is a huge possibility the Alpha is actually right.

There's a small chance that Alpha was mistaken about me being his mate but God, why me. The last eligible person to become a Luna and possibly the only person of the pack who doesn’t want to take the role. I don’t know which one is worse, becoming a Luna or the responsibility to be Alpha Flynn’s mate. He is troublesome as it is.

Then we heard someone slammed the front door and there's no way that's my mom. She would never slam the door like that. Then I heard heavy footsteps. My heart is pounding out of my chest, knowing what is coming.

Toby let go of me and walked out my room quickly. "Stay." He said before closing the door behind him.

I stayed quiet but I sure can hear the footsteps getting closer.

"Get away." I heard Alpha Flynn's voice, muffled from behind the door. Damn damn damn. What should i do.

"She's sleeping."

"I know she's awake. I can feel her.." he can? Probably from my crazy heartbeat.

"Do you know what happened to her at school? She's having a really hard time right now. So please just let her be, Alpha."

"She has to come with me." He growled. I'm scared.. I'm scared for Toby and I'm scared for myself. But i can’t imagine these 2 biggest and strongest wolves in the pack, fighting in such a small house. Their bodies won’t even fit in the hallway.

"Please, listen to me! She's scared and she was crying just now.. There are bruises all over her body and..."

"You fucking saw her body?" He growled.

"No! I mean, yes, the girls from school ripped her sweater!" Toby tried to explain but i could still hear Alpha Flynn’s low growl. 

Suddenly i heard bones cracking. Did he just change into his wolf form or something? Inside the freaking house?

I quickly opened the door and walked outside. I found Toby, still in his human form, and Alpha Flynn, already changed into a big dark grey wolf. The frames on the wall are all on the floor, cracked. He obviously is bigger than any other wolf that I have ever seen. Even bigger than Toby's wolf form.

"Mitzy, get inside your room right now!" Toby yelled, covering me with his arms.

Then Alpha Flynn growled and smash his paw to the floor and I swear I heard a cracking sound from the floor. 

"He is not going to hurt me.” I pushed Toby’s arms and walked slowly to Alpha Flynn. "I'll come with you.. we have to leave now!" I said.

Then grey smokes started to come out from his fur and he is back to his human form, naked as a baby. I turned around quietly. He took his shirt and pants on the floor that are ripped in some parts but he doesn't really care. Then he pulled my hand.

"Mitz," Toby called.

"It's fine Toby. I'm okay."

Alpha Flynn drag me to his car and close the door. Then he started to drive really fast, still naked. I figures he doesn’t really have any spare clothes. He should’ve since he is pretty damn unstable. I haven't even put my seatbelt on. I started to cry silently, looking out the window. Not only to hide my tears, but also to avoid looking at the naked Alpha besides me.

He stopped the car in front of his house and opened the door for me and grabbed my hand. He literally dragged me into the house. He slammed the front door shut and turned his body to face me.

"What happened? Who did this to you?" He asked as soon as we entered the house.

"You fucking did this to me!" I hissed, pointing at the huge hickey on my neck which is the most visible bruise.

"No, ugh, not the hickeys, the other bruises.." he touched the bruise on my face and i twitched.

"Girls from school." I answered quietly.

"I need names!" He growled.

"I don't remember their names." I lied. I don’t like them but i don’t want anyone get hurt because of me. Alpha Flynn certainly will punish them heavily if they knew their names.

"Don't even fucking lie to me right now." He pulled my arms harshly.

"I'm not lying. Let me go! You're hurting me!" I pulled my arms away from his grip. I looked at my arms and there was a red mark around it. Wow, people don't lie when they talk about how strong Alpha Flynn is. 

He suddenly walked closer to me and I took a step back immediately. "You don't have to be afraid of me." He said, giving me his hands.

"How can i not be scared of you?" I whispered.

"I swear, I will never hurt you."

"You already did!" i yelled at him. "You hurt me not just once, but multiple times! And we just met a few days ago! You hurt me last night when you forced yourself into me and did I tell you to stop? YES i fucking did! I begged you to stop! But most of all, you fucking killed my parents. Do you really expect me to actually spend the rest of my life with my parent’s murderer?"

"I have my reasons." He looks hurt by my words. That makes me feel a bit bad. But he deserves it. After everything he did, my words are nothing comparing to his doings. "Mitzy, listen, your father challenged me for my position..." he was about the repeat the same story that he had already told me before when i cut him off.

"You had all the right to turn him down! You know that there's no way he could beat you!" I screamed.

"I didn't know he was your father!"

"You are still a monster!" i cried and kneeled down on the floor. "How could you? After you killed both of my parents, you still want to ruin my life too?"

He sighed and kneeled down in front of me. "I don't want to ruin your life, but... but i can't live without you! You are my mate that i had been waiting for so long, too long. Please don't do this to me. If I could go back, i would change those things. I swear i would..." He whispered the last part and his voice honestly breaks my heart.

He suddenly hugged me and i'm not even trying to get away from him. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.. Please forgive me, Mitzy."

I'm not hugging him back. I just stayed there and cried on his shoulder. I can't lie and say that his hug makes me feel a bit better and I don't even know why. His body is really warm and even his heart beats sound like a melody. We stayed like that for about a couple of minutes until I finally managed to stop crying. Alpha Flynn pulled away from me and lifted my body with his arms. I feel incredibly tired, mentally and physically. i did not complain that he carried me all the way to the bedroom. 

He put me on the bed gently and covered me with a blanket. Then he left the room as i drift off.
