My Unexpected Mate

Chapter 4

"How come you don't shift and bust out the door?" I asked Lucca.

"Because I just found you, are you kidding? I'm not leaving you. But you're turning into a wolf tomorrow, we could leave together?" 

Wow, never thought of that. I could leave. I could kill my parents and be free. I wouldn't have to follow anyone I could be my own person. Better yet I could go to The Blood Moon pack.

But I've heard about them, they don't let rogues in. They don't let them a paw past their territory unless you want your head ripped off. Their gaurd is very strong but if I ever got out of here that was where I was going to go.

What confused me was why Lucca would want to leave. He was the son of a beta that's got to have it's perks. Then again I am the daughter of an Alpha. Look how that turned out. 

"Why do you want to leave?" I asked.

"My life isn't sunshine and rainbows either Eli." Eli, aboslutely not.

"Do not call me that. That is beyond girly." I snapped.

"Aw come on Eli, its adorable." I slapped his hand when he reached to pinch my cheek. I scowled at him as he laughed.

I found myself smiling at the sound. It was the first time he had since we got here. Lucca's laugh was extremely contagious and I found my self laughing like crazy. I was holding my stomach which was starting to hurt. I couldn't remember the first time I laughed like this. Not even from the day I was born. 

We had calmed down after that and I had drank my water and ate some of the god awful tasting meat. 

"What does it feel like to shift?" I asked.

"You can't really feel anything. It just happens, quickly too. So you have nothing to worry about."

That made me sigh of relief, I thought it would hurt like a bitch. 

Minutes went by and I was already freaking out. I didn't know what time it was since I fell asleep. It could happen in seconds.

"But be warned your wolf's going to take over the first time. You'll learn to control it. She'll be angry, especially since she'll be in a cage."

Thank's a lot asshole. My worry just came flooding back. What if I did something to get us in trouble? Surely my parents know what happens the first time and they'll be considerate. 

The cage was large, thank god. That way I wouldn't have to be worried about being squished. But I guess 'she'll' still think it's cramped. I wonder what would happen if she got out of this hell and out of the house. My parents probably posted people around the house like crazy. Come to think of it, I could smell all of them. 

"You smell a lot like flowes you know," I giggled at the unmanly scent. He looked at me a look of disbelief on his face. 

"I do not," "Yes, yes you do. Like a rose, a fresh rose. It's nice no need to be ashamed," In reality I was trying not to burst out laughing. I was spent almost all night trying to figure out what the smell was. 

"Well you smell like hot chocolate and marshmellows," I burst out laughing at his horrible come back. I find that good, I don't know what hot chocolate is but hopefully it smells good. But by the look on his face it is good.

"What's hot chocolate?" "You've never tasted hot chocolate? You've never lived." I chuckled at his words. "It's a drink. It's good we'll have to get some when we get out of here." 

Just then the sound of footsteps bounced off the walls until my parents appeared. 

"Hello darling, we just wanted to talk to you before tomorrow morning." My mother said. 

I didn't answer them. I knew they were only here to insult me and make me feel even worse about my being.

"What do you want then? To tell me you love me?" I scoffed. "Why do you guys even do this to me?" I whispered. 

"Don't you understand? We never loved you! You're worthless!" My father yelled. "The day you were born was supposed to never happen! We were going to get rid of you." 

That hurt. I knew my parents never loved me, they showed that. But to hear it was something else. My wolf howled in agony and hurt. 

"No ones ever loved you, and no one ever will." He finished.

There was a growl next to me. I turned to see Lucca laying in his cell, glaring at my father.

This was normal though. I thought it would stop hurting after awhile, but it never did. They were my parents after all. To feel unwanted wasn't a good feeling.

I ignored them as they continued to shout at me until they got tired enough to go up stairs. I sighed, and lay down on the cold cement floor. 

"Don't listen to them Eli. I love you, you're like a little sister to me." Lucca pleaded.

I knew that. Lucca was the only one who cared for me and the only one who proabably ever would. 

After all my parents had said, I wasn't sure I even believed Lucca. It hurt to feel alone and unwanted. It hurt to know you were a dissapointment and an animal in someone elses eyes. I never knew love, and I was sure I never would. I never knew what it was like to feel happy or be outside. All I knew was the numbing of pain. That is all I would ever know.
