-Alaina-
I burst through the door of my cottage, and ran to a window to make sure he didn't follow me. I turned back around to see my family staring at me. Carlos was in a chair and mother was tending to his wounds. God, his chest was all bloodied up with slash marks running across it. I felt a tug on my cloak to see my little sister, Kara. She handed me my clothes and I went into my room to change into the black dress, I came back out to be crushed in a hug by my mother and father.
"I'm so sorry honey." my mother cooed
"I swear darling I will find this wolf and kill him!" my father stated. I began to cry on their shoulders.
"You won't be able to kill him father. He's the Alpha king's son, Aspen." I said quietly. They both held me tighter as I cried into their shoulders. What did I do to deserve a mate like Aspen? I felt another tug on my dress.
"Awaina," Kara asked,"whats wrong?" I smiled at her through my tears and reached down and gave her a hug.
"I'm just tired Kara don't worry, I'm ok." I lied. She doesn't need to know what happened, actually I don't think anyone knows that I'm mated to Aspen. My mother grabbed my hand, there was a bite mark there with blood pouring through the wound. She brought me to the kitchen and sat me down in a chair next to Carlos and began to bandage up my hand.
'What happened after I left?' He asked through our link. I kept quiet. 'Why did he keep asking you to shift for him?'
I sighed, 'because-' that's all I could think to him before Kara jumped on my lap.
"Awaina pway with me!" She requested. I laughed and got up to play with her.
"Ooh ooh Carwos has to pway too!" She said. Carlos smiled and got up too. Pretty soon Kara began directing us what to do in a game of "Save the Luna". She said she was the Luna and I was the rogue and Carlos was the savior.
"Ok Carwos say, 'I wiwl save you my Wuna!'" Carlos said his line and began pretend fighting me off.
"Awaina say 'You wiwl never get her!'" I said my line also and then Carlos fake punched me off the cliff (AKA into the chair) then climbed on the other chair and "saved" The Luna (Kara). We all laughed and began to wrestle around in the living room.
"Ok my little Wolfpack," our mother declared, "it's time for dinner!" We all raced to the table and sat down for our meal. We each got a piece of chicken, some carrots and some water. We ate in silence for a little until we heard a knock on the door. My father got up and walked over to the door and opened.
"I hate to disturb you at this hour sir but we need to know if you have an un-mated daughter between the ages of 16 and 20." A gravely voice asked. My dad growls.
"Yes, why?" he snapped.
"Because the Alpha's son's mate is somewhere and we need to help find her." the person stated. I dropped my mug of water on the floor. Shit. Their going to take me. I turned to see two men making their way towards me and then grab me. I kick and scream and growl at them. Carlos ran up and tried to pry the men off me but the one on the left slaps him across the face.
"CARLOS!!" I shouted to my twin. I heard Kara screaming. She ran up to me and grabbed my waist.
"Awaina!!! Don't weave me!!" She cried. Dad ran over and started to attack the men and mom tried to convince them I wasn't his mate. They punched my father out cold and pushed my mother away and shoved off Kara.
"NO!! MOM, DAD, KARA, CARLOS!!" I screamed again. They dragged me, kicking and screaming, out the door. They took me to a carriage and shoved me in it, locking the door behind me.
"My god that one's the toughest so far." One man said.
"Yeah the other girls practically jumped in our arms! This is the first one we had to drag out of the house." the other exclaimed.
"But she is, thankfully, the last girl of the night." the first one said again. They both laughed and climbed in the front of the carriage and made the horses begin to pull it. I sat down on the red velvet seat and began to cry. It's not fucking fair!! Now I'm going to become the mate to a psychotic killing machine! I was sobbing at my own luck, how fucking lucky I am to be mated to a psychopath, right?
'Alaina,' my twin said through our link, 'Don't worry you can't be mated to someone with the likes of Aspen.' He was trying to comfort me.
'Actually Carlos I am mated to him, I found out today.' I said sadly. I could hear him gasp on the other side of the link.
'Don't tell Mother, Father or Kara please." I begged.
'I promise.' He whispered. Then I cut off the connection. I began to sob again, cursing the moon goddess about her decision on my fate.
