The Unloved Mate

Isabella’s pov

I g***n as i wake up from my deep slumber. My head hurts!

I try to open my eyes. It takes a lot of effort but eventually i succeed. The first thing i noticed is that I’m sleeping​ on a bed. I look around and see cream coloured walls and ceiling.

A girl comes in. I watch her carefully. She is the nurse Shaylea that works with the pack doctor. She hates me. Once i was badly beaten and came to her for some medicine for my pain. She gave me ‘Hyperalgesia’ which apparently increases pain. That was the last time i took any medication.

She noticed me awake and gave me a disgusted look, like she always does.

“Oh so the little b***h is awake?” She says in a hushed tone. I look at her confused. Why is she not talking in her usual shrilly, high pitched, annoying voice and gaining the only thing she loves, attention.

She shakes her head at me. Thats when I noticed a huge figure sleeping on the small sofa besides the bed. I could not see the face though.

Shaylea walks to the man and runs her hand up and down his arm. I try to speak something but my throat hurts. I see a bottle of water on a table on the side and take it. I gulp down the water and finally feel at ease.

I see Shaylea getting irritated when the man- ok now I’m also getting irritated by calling him ‘the man’

I’ll call him……Eddie!

So Eddie is not waking up and shaylea is whispering something in his ear. I reach out for his hand and touch it. Electricity shoots through my hand. Eddie jolts awake.

He frantically looks around and i finally see his face. And im not thrilled.

Alpha Damien is Eddie.

Eddie is Alpha Damien

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” i scream when i see him. I am supposed to run away!

His eyes widened with worry and concern. I shut my mouth realising what i had done.

Then i felt something moving on my toe. I slowly unwrapped myself from the covers. Carefully​ keeping eye contact with Alpha. I looked at my toe and screamed.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Spider!!! Spider!!!!!!”

I closed my eyes and screamed some more. I hate spiders! Those filthy little things scare me!

A hand was placed at my mouth.

“Shhh princess. I will get rid of it for you. Don’t be scared. Okay?” A soft voice spoke. I opened my eyes and saw Alpha Damien. I see him a lot. His hands still on my mouth as he bends​ down to pick up the spider. He hold​ it between his fingers and tossed it out of the window.

I closed my eyes again. The hand was removed from my mouth and i opened​ my eyes. I saw​ Alpha​ Damien very close to my face. Smiling like a kid in the candy store with a $20 bill.

He looked at me expectantly. And you know what i did? Guess? No?

I screamed!

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
