Chapter 4
As Duncan came out of his thoughts, there was a knock at the door and his sister shouting for them to open it before there was an accident of massive proportions.
He opened the door as his sister came tumbling inside carrying bags and boxes of every shape and size.
"I see you went shopping, Marnie."
Marnie laughed, "There is more coming, I sent Marco to bring up the rest."
"Marnie, I said just enough till I can take her shopping, this looks like you bought out every store."
"Oh, stop being a drama queen and start helping me."
Duncan started unloading Marnie and putting it all down in the middle of the floor, just as Marco came in the room looking like a pack mule. He went straight to where Duncan put the other things and dumped them all into the pile.
Marco's mind linked to Duncan, "If you know what is good for you, you will run away fast. I have three sisters, remember? I have seen this before, trust me, you don't want to stay. They will make you do things no man should ever have to do."
Marco then turned on his heels and ran from the room.
Duncan looked at Spare she looked a bit confused, he walked over to her and took her by the hand.
"Spare this is my little sister, Marnie. Marnie, this is my mate and Luna Spare."
Marnie started to jump up and down in excitement, "Sweet sassy molasses! You did find your mate."
Duncan leaned in and kissed Spare on the top of her head.
"I'm going to leave now, got some work to do. You two have fun."
Oh, maybe Marnie can help you come up with a new name. I meant it when I said I don't want you to remember all that bullshit every time someone says her name."
With a very graceful bow, he left the room.
Marnie went and sat down on the bed, taking Spare with her.
"We are going to be really good friends, I can just tell those sorts of things. We will talk as we go."
With that she started to pull things out of the bags, before she even knew it, she had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and body lotion. She had anything and everything that a girl could want in the toiletry department.
Marnie was a whirlwind of energy, now she was taking out sundresses, jeans, T-shirts, sweatpants and sweatshirts, Pajamas, nightgowns, bras, underwear, and quite a few items she was sure that were nothing really but string. What she was unsure about, Marnie just put in the closet anyway.
"Ok, now we are going to pamper you, give you a makeover, and everything in between."
She ran into the bathroom and started the bath. Spare could smell all the stuff she was using it was very potent. Marnie came out and saw Spare wrinkling her nose at the smell.
"I know, I got too much and restarted the bath, that smelled like a French whore house on Friday night."
"Ok, it's time for your bubble bath now" Spare went into the bathroom and started to take off her clothes when she heard Marnie gasp. Spare knew what she was looking at and turned to hide them.
They stared at each other for a little bit and then Marnie launched herself at Spare, hugging her. Marnie was crying and saying she was sorry over and over.
Spare pulled back looking at Marnie's tear-stained face.
"I never want to hear you say sorry ever again, what was done was not done by you. Never say you're sorry for the shit other assholes do."
Marnie hugged her again and let Spare get into the bath.
"Now I want you to relax and try out all of the bath scents. I'll come and get you in half an hour."
As soon as Marnie closed the door she mind-linked Duncan.
"Did you know about all those scars on her back and legs?"
"Marnie, what the hell are you talking about?."
"Duncan she has long scars across her back and upper thighs, she also looks like she hasn't eaten a good meal in a long, long time. Why is her name Spare?"
Marnie waited for Duncan to answer, instead, the bedroom door opened up and there stood a very angry Duncan.
He moved past Marnie on his way to the bathroom, Marnie grabbed him and pulled him away.
"If you go in there all angry, while she is naked in the tub you will never get her to trust you. The bathtub is where a woman is most vulnerable. So slow your roll and go back to your Alpha chores."
Duncan looked at Marnie a while longer till he calmed down.
"Alright I will leave but I want to know anything and everything she tells you, got it?"
Marnie nodded her head and shoved him out into the hall, closing and locking the door behind him.
Lily walked in a fit of anger through the halls of Her High School, no matter where she looked she couldn't find The Spare anywhere, and neither could any of her friends.
Oh, that little bitch is going to pay for this, how dare she not show up to school, she was supposed to give Lily the answers for the test. If she doesn't get this one she might have to take summer classes, there was no way in hell she was going to suffer that humiliation.
There was no choice, she told her friends to tell the teacher that she was sick and went home. She stormed out of the school, stomping her feet in four-inch heels. She got to her brand new BMW and peeled rubber out of the parking lot. Heading like a missile straight to her home.
Lily stormed red-faced into her house, her mother Joanne stopping her.
"What the hell are you doing home? You are supposed to be knee-deep in exams right now."
"Mommy that little bitch never showed up to give me the answers, I had to tell them I was sick and went home."
Her mother hissed in anger. Storming off to the attic to teach The Spare another lesson, she better be dead up there. It was the only excuse she was going to take, even then she might still use the whip on her.
When they got to the attic door Joanne used her key and unlocked the door. They were met with silence, turning on the light, they looked around the room was empty. From the looks of it, she packed her shit and left.
Joanne became furious pushing over the dresser, which smashed to pieces on impact with the floor. How could that little bitch do this, how dare she think she can leave.
"What do we do now, Mom?
"We find the bitch and beat her back into submission again. I'm going to contact your father and tell him to get his ass home. She knows too much, we can't let her leave pack territory."
Joanne pushed Lily out of the house.
"Go and start looking for the little bitch, and when school is out get your friends to help you. I'm going straight to Alpha Micheal and inform him on what is going on."
Lily drove off unsure of where to look, it's not like The Spare hung out anywhere she liked to go. She then got an idea, pretty rare for her.
The little bitch had a job at a local hotel, now she just has to figure out which one and start asking questions. To be honest, deep down she hoped that Spare did escape.
Spare was now dressed in comfortable jeans and a soft T-shirt. Marnie had been doing her hair, trying out makeup, and lotions, and during all this, they were eating pizza. She now knew what it was like to be one of the Barbie heads that little girls play with.
"Marnie, what should I call myself? I don't want this name even though it is all I have known."
"Well is there another name you have always liked, you could try it on for a little while and see if it works for you. what does your wolf say?"
Spare mind linked Artemis, "Well do you have any ideas?"
Artemis was quiet for a while and then she said, "Adira".
"Artemis says, Adira I like it."
"Very well, I name thee Adira Marie MacPatton. I gave you my middle name as sisters now we can share it."
Marnie mind-linked Duncan and told him the name they decided on so he could get all the paperwork ready.
Duncan said the name, he and his wolf both agreed that it was the right choice, a beautiful choice. A perfect name for his perfect mate.
As evening set Duncan went to escort the ladies to dinner, this will be Adira's first time eating with others of this size, so he is going to be as close as she will allow him to be. He never wants her to feel alone or not welcome.
When she came down with his sister he couldn't believe his eyes, is it possible for her to be any more beautiful? It was getting harder to resist her. He reached for her hand, and she gave it easily, which pleased Duncan.
No one is ever going to hurt her again, if they try Duncan will rip them to shreds.
He escorted her to their table and began to introduce her to his Beta Marco and a few of the elders who were sitting with them. Everyone was happy about Duncan finding his mate and they were welcoming to Adira.
He watched her as he could see her visibly becoming more and more comfortable. She even was smiling while they were finishing up dessert.
