Chapter Four

Alex POV.

I cannot wait to get to school today. I want to see my beautiful mate. But she is nowhere to be seen. I wonder if she is okay.

“No, she isn’t okay,” Hunter says in my head

“Do not say something like that Hunter,” I growl at him.

“You felt that pain yesterday, Alex, I know you did. Because I did. Our mate was in pain and a lot of it.” That makes me furious.

And I keep looking around for her. As I head to class. It’s already 2nd period and still no sign of her. But I know she must be in the next class. And there I see her when I enter. I feel relieved and go to sit at the table next to her.

“Hey Lina,” I say, feeling calm now I can see her and smell her.

But then she lifts her head and looks at me and I let out a threatening growl. She looks down again and whimpers. As Logan enters the classroom. I get down on my knees next to her.

“Lina, Sweetie, I am sorry, I did not mean to scare you. Who has done this Lina?” She whimpers again but doesn’t answer me when Logan mindlinks me. “What going on Alpha we heard that growl halfway down the hall.” I look at him shortly then back at Lina I can hear she is crying softly. “Someone has hurt her” is all I answer him. I try speaking to Lina again to calm her.

“Lina sweetie, please look at me.” She shakes her head.

“It is nothing I, I fell yesterday hit the wall. I am fine.” She says but I can tell she is lying. She refuses to say more, even when we are alone, she just focuses on our assignment and barely speaks. I can’t concentrate at all; all I can think about is that someone hurt her.

After 3 days of watching her bruised, and feeling her in pain almost every night, it gets too much for me. I need to tell her the truth. I need her to know I can protect her. I have found out that she is 17 and an orphan living in a foster home. I am standing outside the school when I see her arriving on foot, I didn’t know she walked here every day. When she sees me, she bows her head, hiding her beautiful face under her hoodie. Before she can enter the school, I grab her hand and pull her with me.

“Alex, what are you doing?” she whispers with fear in her voice. I don’t answer I just keep walking until we reach the forest behind the school.

“Alex, please, we will be late.” I can hear the fear, but also hear and feel other emotions from her. I turn towards her, not letting go of her hand, it is the first time I feel her skin and got I love feeling the sparks forming on my skin, from the mare feeling of her hand in mine. She is not looking at me but at the ground. I take my other hand put it under her chin and push her head up and look into her eyes. Gosh, she is beautiful.

“Lina” I whisper her name and she whimpers a little.

“Babygirl, I know you can feel it.” She looks at me with tears in her eyes.

“Please Alex, I” she breathes heavily.

“I don’t know what it is I feel.” I remove a tear from her eye with my finger.

“I think you do Beautiful, you are just scared.” She looks at me shaking and I pull her close to me, I lower my lips to her ear and whisper.

“You are my mate and I your baby girl.” She whimpers but starts to relax in my arms. She looks up at me and I lean down. The moment our lips meet, electricity is created between us, and I kiss her deeper. After a little while she pulls away, she whispers so quietly I almost don’t hear.

“I am sorry, I am so sorry, that your moon goddess stuck you with me a stupid human. I won’t hold you to it, I promise I will not bother you.” With these words, she runs towards the school. I am a bit shocked by her words and stay still for a few minutes. Does she think this low of herself? Can’t she see how beautiful and amazing she is?

When I get back to school, I can smell she is here. But I don’t see her anywhere. I want to talk with her. Let her understand, that I don’t care if she is Human. I am just happy and excited I finally found her.

Lina POV.

Oh my God, no, Alex, the future Alpha is my mate, me a human. I am walking towards to girl’s bathroom when someone grabs my arm. I look and see it’s Ken.

“There you are, my favorite girl.” I whimper

“Let me go, please,” I beg.

“Now, now silly girl I can’t do that. We have a game later and a few of my guys need to let out some tension.” I look at him with fear.

“Please Ken don’t please I am still hurting from last night. Please.” Tears start forming in my eyes, I was still hurting after he had come into my room doing the night.

“Oh, stop being a bitch.” He pulls me with him with a tight grip on my arm. He drags me to the football team’s locker room. When we get there 3 guys are in there by the showers.

“Here we go boys have fun,” Ken says with a smirk and pushes me into the arms of one of the guys. He licks my face and speaks.

“Yummy I have been wanting another round with you for a while.” I know him, his name is Duke, and he is the biggest pervert in school. Ken has let him use me before.

He rips my hoodie and top, and looks down on me licking his lips, he forces up my jeans, so they break and one of the others pulls them down. I am begging them not to do this, but I know they won’t listen. Duke forced himself inside and I cry out in pain, but it only makes him go faster and rougher. Then I hear him groan and he pulls out as his thick fluid runs down my legs. Only for the next one to take over and rape me. At this point, I have given up and just cry silently and am close to passing out from the pain. But then everything happens so fast the guy is being pulled away from me and I hear him being thrown across the room before everything goes dark.

Alex POV.

I am walking the halls when pain and fear rush through my body, Lina where are you. The pain gets worse, and I growl.

“Something is a wrong hunter.” He growls in my head.

“Mate, mate is in pain, someone is hurting her.” The thought alone makes me growl.

“Find her Hunter, find her.” I let Hunter come slightly forward, his senses blend in with mine and we can smell, her scent so much more.

We follow her scent until we reach the locker rooms that the football team uses. Just as I am about to open the door, I hear her whimper in pain and some guys laughing. I enter the room and follow the sounds. What I see when I reach the showers breaks my heart into 1000 pieces.

My beautiful mate is forced against the wall and one of the guys is raping her. I see red and go into full-blown anger when I run in grab the guy and throw him across the room. I growl loudly Hunter is trying to get out, but I know if he does, they will all die. I notice her scent lingers on one of the other guys and I walk over and grab him around the neck. The guy laughs and speak

“Dude relax, you can have a run with her too,” I growl at him and throw him into the wall, where he falls and passes out. That’s when I see the other guys have left, and I see my sweet, beautiful mate beat up her clothes ripped to pieces and passed out.
