CHAPTER 5- FRAGILE HEARTS

Pain is what makes us human

~~

I sit up in confusion when I hear screams and groans, I stand up and walk to the door.

I follow the scents into Lucas office, I open the door without knocking and the wind gets knocked out of me when I see what's happening.

Luca is kicking and punching a man, the man is laughing coughing up blood. "Y-you don't scare me," the man says.

"You say you don't but I can see it in your eyes that they do, they show me everything!" he spits and punches him repeatedly.

Memories of what alpha Jones did to me come back in a whoosh, I gasp for air and my only objective is to stop him.

"L-Luca," I whisper.

He doesn't listen he just pushes the man to the ground, I rush over, "Luca," I repeat but he still doesn't listen, "LUCA STOP!" I scream at him.

He freezes and turns to me with cold eyes as per usual, I shake my head. I never thought he'd go this low, like I knew he'd go pretty low but not this low.

I wipe my eyes and storm out of his office, more terrified than ever. I hear him curse and I walk to my room, I look at him painfully when I see him walking to my door.

I slam it into his face locking it and sit beside the door, "open the freaking door Lily!" He shouts. I would never even think about acting like this in front of alpha Jones, he's the one person whom I truely fear.

"Y-you're a monster!"

"Open it or I'm breaking it," he threatens but I make no move to open it.

All of a not so surprising second the door breaks off its hinges, he drops it to the floor and picks the splinters out of his hands.

He's crazy. But so am I.

Secretly of course.

He crouches down, "why'd you come in my office without knocking?" I stare at him in disbelief. "I didn't want you to see that, you shouldn't of come in there!"

"I heard screams, I had to. And you were going to kill him being the horrible person you are," I say quietly. I regret saying that, I'm so dead.

He growls and puts his arms beside my head, "Do not disrespect me," he growls and I let out a shaky breath.

"P-please don't hurt me."

"I have told you once and I'm not going to say this again, I'm not going to hurt you. You are mine, I don't hurt what's mine, but anyone who does will die," he says with cold eyes.

"I don't want you to kill anyone," I whisper.

"Too bad," he smirks and I frown.

"You are so mean, so cold," I say looking into his eyes. Something has happened to him to, he can't just be like this; or can he? I know I'm this way because of something.... Someone.

"That's why I'm the alpha of doom," he says standing up.

"B-but you are meant to be kind and loving towards me," I whisper.

"Apparently so but sweetheart... I don't change for anyone, especially you," I advert my eyes and he tilts my chin up making me look into his eyes. Why did I think that I'd live a happily ever after with my mate? This is no fairy tale.

"Remember who I am," he growls.

"Remember that I'm your mate," I reply and he releases me as if I burned him.

"Eat," he hisses.

I look around for any signs of food, "there's no food," I say.

"It's coming up," he roughly says.

A woman places the plate down that has a ham and tomato sandwich sitting on it, she bows and walks away.

I look at it strangely, "you eat it Lily."

"I'm not a complete idiot," I snap.

I pick it up and start biting into it, he watches me and I look up at him, "aren't you going to leave?"

"I'm making sure you eat it all," I huff angrily biting the bread.

I finish my first sandwich and pick up the second one, I'm so full. I put it down and he growls, "eat it," I look at him.

"I'm full though," I whisper.

"If I have to shove it down your throat I will, the doctor specifically said for you to eat as much as you can," I pick it up and bite into it slowly.

With much trouble I finish and slide the plate towards him, "Don't you have a man to get back to and abuse?" he picks it up with a scowl and walks away ignoring my comment.

I stand up shouting, "you really need to get a tv installed!"

For some strange reason I believe that he won't hurt me.

I know, I'm crazy.

The body guard from yesterday knocks on the wall and I gesture for him to come in, "hello Luna, how are you?!" He chirps.

"G-good how are you?" I ask.

"Good, good," he smiles.

"Uh, do you need anything?" He shakes his head.

"I just was checking up on my Luna and to let you know that you won't be seeing me anymore." I nod.

"Thanks," I don't bother to ask him why, he sends me a smile then walks out with a 'bye Luna!'

I hear a growl and I sigh, preparing for his wrath.

He sniffs the air his eyes turning black, "why does your room smell like another man?" He asks with clenched teeth.

Before I'm given the chance to reply he pushes me against the wall snarling in my face, "YOU'RE MINE!"

"You don't even want me," I boldly say.

He glares at me, "stop putting words in my mouth."

"My bodyguard came to see if I was alright, unlike my own mate," I spit.

"Li-" I cut him off.

"Please just leave me alone. It's hard enough knowing you don't like me," he rolls his eyes and walks out stone cold.

I rest my head back against the wall and look at the non existent door, he doesn't deserve love.

He is a terrible person.

'Don't say that,' I roll my eyes.

'It's the truth,' she blocks me out truly angry.

I don't want to be stuck in this house, I walk out of my room, downstairs and out the door. I walk up to a clearing and look down, it's a massive hill.

I start walking down feeling numb to every emotion I should be feeling, I stop and sit down bringing my knees to my chest.

"Nice view isn't it?" I gasp and swallow the lump in my throat.

I don't answer him, I keep my eyes focused on the green trees. "Look at me!" He bellows.

I timidly look at him, "y-your not real. Your not real!" He grabs my wrist roughly pulling me to him.

His scent wafts into my nose and I recoil back in disgust, "I will be back for you Lily, you might want to be in the view of your mate because he will be the only person that can protect you," he growls.

"Why but him?" I ask.

"He's the alpha of doom for a reason."

"H-he will know you're here," I stutter.

He smirks, "if you dare say a thing," he smacks me and I fall on the ground.

I watch as he walks down the hill and my vision becomes hazy, my eyes shut on their own accord and I lay there alone in the woods now succumbing to the darkness.

~~

I feel arms around me lifting me off the ground, tingles awaken me from all drowsiness and I open my eyes to see my mate.

As if sensing me looking at him he looks at me his eyes black, my eyes widen and I whimper aloud.

"Why were you out here?"

"I-I umm, I didn't want to stay inside," I whisper.

"You need to ask me."

"I don't want to come outside again," I whisper to myself.

"And why not?" Damn wolf hearing!

"B-because I don't l-like it," I lie.

"Your heart beat has risen, you're lying to me," he says looking straight ahead, "did you know the whole pack was out looking for you because no one could find you, your scent was faint but I found you."

I gulp and look ahead as well, "tell me Lily." I want to tell him, I do. Maybe if I do tell him in a secret way alpha Jones won't punish me. Or maybe if I tell him, alpha Jones won't know at all; he could've been lying. I want Luca to know that I'm scared, that I need him but I can't tell him.

"I- I can't."

"And why not?"

"Because he said so," I whisper. Luca needs to know somehow. He needs to know that I'm in danger so he can help me, I can't be completely stubborn.

"Who said so?" He asks stopping and looks down at me. "Who?"

"The devil," I whisper, as long as I'm with him I'm safe right?

"And who's the devil Lily?" He asks lowly.

"Michael. Michael Jones."

Well I wonder how Luca is going to react, he surely would be furious.
