The Alpha's Broken Mate

Kathy's POV

I was pulled into darkness by strong hands. I looked up to see Liam.

Oh my Gosh. I'm totally freaking out.

What do I say?

What do I now?

"What are you doing?"l asked him

He smiled charmingly. I almost melted there and then.

Could this get any worse?

"Do i really need to have a reason to see my mate?" he grinned widely

"Just reject me already” I mumbled.

He raised his hand to stroke my cheeks caressing them with his fingers.

His touch felt like heaven. I closed my eyes trying to enjoy the feeling.

"Now why would I do that?" he whispered

He started to kiss my neck up to my jawline. I felt sparks fly everywhere.

But I just can't. All the years of abuse. All the years of people telling me that I would never be good enough for anyone. All the years of bullying.

Who would ever love me? I better end this now before he gets hurt.

"I'm sorry I can't do this" I said.

I forced my way out of his arms and ran out of the room with tears in my eyes.

It was time for lunch in school. I was sitting alone as you can guess

Of course, nobody wants to hang out with the school freak.

The doors opened and all heads turned. Liam, Stephanie and some other guys came in.

I found out him and Stephanie were family friends. Liam and the two guys came over to where I was sitting.

Liam sat beside me. Girls gave me envious glares while whispering.

I became really nervous. Why would he still want to get close to me after what happened earlier? "Why aren't you eating?" Liam asked me

I flinched. I wasn't allowed to. The only time I ate was when i sneaked out in the night to eat. There was no way my brother would let me get food.

"I left my food at home. I was in a hurry” I lied

"Here have mine" he offered

He pushed the plate to me

I just can't eat. I got so used to it that I never bothered about food.

"Its okay"

I was feeling embarrassed already. I've never been given so much attention in my life.

"I'm not leaving you alone till you do"

A bite of the pancakes wouldn't hurt... would it?

"Okay" I finally agreed

I took a bite. There. That wasn't so bad.

"Finish it"

He didn’t even need to tell me twice before I did. It felt so good. I ate it slowly because I didn't want to embarrass myself. If I was alone, I would have eaten it like a dog because I was really hungry. "Thank you" I said

"No problem"

One of his friends coughed

"Introduce *cough * us”

I did my best to hold in my laughter

"Oh sorry" Liam chuckled "This is Derek, my beta" He pointed to a cute blonde guy. “And Peter, my Delta’ he pointed to the other brunette.

They both smiled at me and waved.

I smiled and waved back.

We just talked and laughed. I was really grateful for their presence. I haven't had a full conversation with someone in my whole life.

Peter was really funny while Derek was quite shy but he contributed to our discussions every now and then.

We talked about everything from Liam's previous schools to the boys’ ex girlfriends and all

It was Friday so after lunch we could go home. When the bell rung, I grabbed my backpack and went to pick Mason from school then went home.

Liam's P.O.V

"Hey dad I'm home" I announced as I came in

I looked for Kathy after lunch to take her home. You know, maybe get to know her a little but I figured she already left.

I was sad cause it was Friday which meant I won't see her till Monday.

I was so happy I found my mate. To top it off she was beautiful. But she was skinny like she was malnourished or something.

My dad walked into the living room where I was. I sat on the couch

"Hey kid" he said sitting down beside me

"What's got you so happy?" he questioned

He wiggled his eyebrows. I laughed

"I found my mate”

"Aw, that's great. Did you accept her?"

I scoffed. Why wouldn't 17

"Of course”

"Really?"

"Really"

"What happened to the popular saying “if I find my mate, I'll reject her straight away’ * he mocked me

Okay so let me tell you a quick story. When I was younger, I used to be an arrogant bastard. I mean, the ladies loved me plus I'm the son of one of the most popular Alpha’s in the state. I used to brag saying I would reject my mate whenever we meet because I wanted to always be free to mingle but the moment, I saw Kathy, all thoughts about that went out the window.

"l do not talk like that" I said

"But you do”

“No, I don't"

"Yes, you do"

"I am not having this conversation with you" I laughed

Before he could respond Peter came in

"Alpha Liam, the rogues are out again”

I groaned. Time to get to work.

"Get all the men we're going on patrol” I ordered

He bowed his head and left

Kathy's P.O.V*

I carried Mason and put him in his cot. I smiled as I remembered Liam. He reminded me so much of my brother.

Mason is just five

I went to my room and lay on the bed.

I noticed there wasn't any noise which meant the pack members had gone to their main house.

Uh oh. This means that I'm alone with my dad.

Its 4:15pm.

He's usually out around this time. He'll come home drunk in the evenings. When he does, he beats me up really bad.

I sighed

This is gonna be a long weekend

I woke up with pain.

My body was sore around my ribs and my back. My dad beat me up badly yesterday

*flashback*

I was doing the dishes after making dinner for my dad.

I was so weak that when i wanted to dry a glass plate it fell and broke

Oh no

' What was that?’ my dad shouted from upstairs

“Nothing sir

Liar

He came into the kitchen. He looked at the floor where the broken pieces were. His eyes filled with rage

' You broke my china you fool. It was expensive.’

He started undoing his belt. I was in tears cause i knew what was next.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn’t mean to. It was an accident ' I said each word in between sobs.

'I'll teach you what an accident is you clumsy brat.’

He threw me on the table then turned me over so i was lying on my stomach.

He wiped with the belt a few times. I screamed

"You're only making it worse for yourself’

He raised up my shirt and picked a piece of glass on the floor then sliced it at my back. I winced at the pain. I covered my mouth.

If he heard me cry, he'd do worse. He threw me on the ground then kicked me several times at my rib cage.

He dragged my hair and smashed my face against the wall before punching me repeatedly.

“Aww, I didn't mean to it was an accident ' he teased

I rolled over on the floor in pain

' Pathetic bitch.’ He looked around. There was blood everywhere.

'Clean this up now" he screamed

'Y- yes sir’ i stuttered. He went upstairs.

When i heard his door close. I held my knees to my chest and cried.

* end of flashback *

I shrugged at the thought. I put on a black fitted dress with a denim jacket to cover up my wounds and loafers.

I went to school at a slow pace. My body hurt everywhere.
