Jade woke up terrified, she had a feeling that someone was standing over her. She opened her eyes and looked up from the shoes that stood in front of her face, black levi's. She could smell Beck's scent the minute her eyes opened. He crouched down to her level on the floor and turned his head to the right in amusement.
"Good, you're up."
"No thanks to you." Jade said turning around to face the wall, pulling the covers over her head.
How the hell did he get in here?
"Come on Jade, you have to meet everyone today."
Jade sighed in annoyance as Beck moved the covers off her body. She heard his breathing stop and allow growl escape his mouth as he saw the bruises covering her body. Jade quickly stood up and ran to the bathroom, she didn't want anyone seeing her, more specifically Beck, like that. Jade closed the door quickly locking it and turning on the shower she couldn't let him hear her crying. She stripped of her clothes and hopped in the shower, yelling over the loud water "I'll be out in a second." Jade quickly washed up and got out and wrapped a towel around her brushed her teeth. She wasnt sure if Beck was still out there so she unlocked the door and cracked it open a bit
"You still there?'
"Y-yeah. Sorry I don't...I didn't...I'll leave."
"No it's fine can you grab me some clothes please?"
"Oh sure." Beck quickly walked over to her closet quickly grabbing a bra and underwear trying desperately to keep his head on pure thoughts. He handed her those first then went back to the closet and looked for some dark colored clothing. He only found black skinny jeans and a tank top. He handed the two pieces of clothing to Jade's outstretched hand and waited for her to come out. Once she came out he looked at her and smiled she was beautiful, his eye traveled from her eyes to her exposed arms and he sighed. He looked at the way Jade wrapped her arms around herself trying to cover the red and purple marks from being seen. He made a mental note that he would talk to his Dad later about why her healing wasn't taking into affect. Beck began unbuttoning his gray and black flannel and saw Jade's eyes light up with fear and something else he couldn't describe as he did so, he looked as she stepped away from him slowly and it broke his heart that she thought he would do something to her. He took a deep breath trying to remember that she has been hurt before and he can't get sad that she doesn't fully trust him. He smiled lightly at her with his hand out giving her the flannel, Jade sheepishly smiled back to him walking closer taking the flannel and putting it on. Without thinking she brought the flannel up the her nose and inhaled, Beck laughed and walked closer to her. Jade stood still and watched as Beck's hands made there way to the top of the button up shirt. His hand was shaking but his eyes never left Jade's as he buttoned the shirt to only be open at her stomach. He kept his hands there after having finished and they stood there staring at each other. Jade broke the silence
"Why'd you-?"
"I don't want any of the males here staring at your boobs or anything." He said lightly growling at the thought. Jade smiled and looked Beck over, he moved his hands away from her body and walked toward the door.
"You ready?"
"No." Jade said as she walked toward the door after him. They descended the stairs and walked toward the living room, the house had been quiet since Jade had arrived but now that everyone was here it was loud with many voices and Jade hated it. Once they walked into the room everyone there instantly got quite. Jade looked around the room at all the unfamiliar faces, her eyes found the red head girls. The read head girl-
Cat, her name is Cat I think.
skipped over to Jade and hugged her and Jade stood still,
Why is she hugging us?
I don't know, Jade said answering her wolf.
Cat stepped back and smiled at Jade.
"Hi Jadey, how are you? Want to hang out later? Maybe we could watch a movie? Or play with a bunny? Oh I have to show you my g-"
"Cat, later." Beck said smiling down at the girl. Cat stuck her bottom lip out and ducked her head walking away. Beck's Dad made his way through the crowd of werewolves and cleared his throat beginning to talk.
"Welcome home everyone, I know you all have heard about the new girl here."
"Yeah she's hot!" One guy yelled from the back of the crowd. Beck growled toward him and Jade took a step closer to Beck edging behind him slightly holding on to his shirt on both sides of his hips.
"I'm talking, not you Ryder." Beck's Dad roared.
"Sorry Alpha."
"As I was saying..."
Jade couldn't pay attention to what Beck's Dad was saying because she felt someone staring at her. She scanned her eyes over the crowd and she say a girl, high cheek bones, skinny frame staring at her coldly. As she continued looking she felt anger radiating off of her but wasn't sure why she was.
"I'll let Beck take it from here."
Jade was caught back into reality as she heard Beck begin to talk, his voice showing a slight since of passiveness and anger.
"Hello everyone, I'd like you to meet my mate Jade. Jade's been through some things and I want all of you to make sure that she is safe at all times, she's here to be a friend to you all and your future Alpha female. Is that understood?"
Jade looked up around Beck to see his face, he was someone completely different than the guy that comes into her room to wake her up, or cook her food. He was a here standing as an leader and it slightly freighted her, but also made her really proud.
"Yes Beck."
"You're all dismissed, feel free to come meet Jade, or another time if you already have plans. Have a good day everyone."
And just like that, he was back to the normal Beck. The group of wolves began to disburse but a few came up the mated wolfs. The girl who had been starting at Jade earlier walked up to them. Jade came from around Beck and found herself standing in front of him, somewhat challenging and intimidating the girl. The girl stopped in her tracks them continued walking up to her.
"Hey Beck." She said smiling at him happily.
"Tori, this is Jade my mate." Beck said smiling down at Jade, he wondered if she even noticed how she took stance and got protective over him.
"Jade huh? And she's your...mate?" Tori asked staring Jade up and down.
"Yes, I am." Jade said looking at the girl. Tori was radiating off anger and before thinking she blurted out
"How do you know? Beck we were suppose to be mates. Me and you. WE had a connection."
Jade turned to look at Beck just as Tori was looking at him and she felt herself getting angry. Of course the guy she was mated to had wanted someone else, it makes a lot of sense that he wouldn't have wanted to be mated to her. She was damaged. Jade scoffed and turned on her heels to go up the stairs, anger filled her slowly watering eyes. It was her fault for getting closer to him anyway, she should've known that no guy would want her just like her Dad said. Jade walked up the stairs calmly not paying attention to what and how Beck had answered Tori. She went up into her room locking the door, grabbing the cover she left on the floor in the corner, and went in the bathroom to lay down. Calming down thinking about everything her Dad said and everything she heard downstairs she figured that maybe it would be best to talk to Beck. He had some explaining to do after all. As she existed the bathroom, leaving the cover behind, she walked to the door and as she opened it she was startled face to face with the guy who was being yelled at earlier.
Ryder right? What does he want.
Jade looked at him, and asked what he was doing at her door.
"You're really hot. I don't really believe in all that Alpha's fine mates junk and I highly doubt you're Beck's mate, you're not really his type."
Jade was taken off guard and something about him made her want to close the door.
"Yeah okay..." Jade started closing the door but he put his foot between in then pushing the for open.
"I mean personally, you're something I see more for myself ya know? Your dark hair is amazing alone."
Jade continued backing up until she hit the doors that led to her balcony. Ryder put his hand on the side of her hip and leaned his head down pressing his lips to her neck Jade was trying to push him off but he was a lot stronger. Jade found herself thinking of Beck, she didn't want to cause a scene yelling for him and she was terrified that Ryder was going to keep going. She kept thinking of him, calling his name out in her thoughts sad that she was going to be forced to betray him. Ryder moved his hand slowly upward and Jade closed her eyes still trying to push him off.
"Get away form her, now!" Beck growled busting in the room. Ryder quickly turned around and laughing.
"Hey Man, she came on to me!"
Beck walked over to Ryder full of anger and punched him in the face, he got on top of him and continued punching him, as the Alpha's son he was undefeated in fighting anyone of the pack besides his own father. Beck continued punching him until he felt a constant pain and something pulling him away mentally. He looked up at Jade and saw the fear in her eyes and he instantly felt sorry. He stood up from Ryder's bloody passes out body and walked over slowly to Jade not wanting to frighten her anymore than she was. He looked at her in her eyes and saw as she began to cry, she slowly walked to him and he held his arms out for her. He held her in his arms and whispered to her softly
"Why don't we go back to my room?"
Jade couldn't get her words out and was still crying, Beck moved her closer to him moving his hand to her hair and squeezing her closer to him. He picked her up slowly and walked them to his room. He once he got to his room he sat her down in the corner of his room and grabbed the covers from his bed. Jade sat crying and he tried soothing her.
"Hey, don't cry. It's okay."
"He-he-he tried-"
"Shh shhh shhh. Lay down, it's okay. He or anyone else isn't going to hurt you. I'm here for you. I'm always going to be here for you. Right now I need you to lay down and try to calm down." he said pleading to her. Jade continued staring at him and she realized while she was sad, he was more angry and wanted her to lay down so she would calm down making him clam down. Jade stopped herself from crying and laid down on the floor with the cover, Beck began to walk away from her deciding that she would want some space. Jade was worried he'd go back and hurt someone, she felt his anger and she decided that she wanted him to stay with her.
"Can I lay on you?"
As she said that she felt his anger slowly diminish and herd his heart begin to race.
"Yes."
Jade tuned her head so that she was resting on his lap and Beck fixed the covers for her. His back resting on the wall. Jade looked up and him happy to be so close to him, she knew that her Dad was wrong about her mate. Beck did care about her. Jade moved her hand to reach for his and held on to it as she closed her eyes. Beck looked down at her and he couldn't help but smile, this girl was his everything. He'd do anything and everything to protect her. Tomorrow he would stay with her and hopefully get her to talk to him, but for now this was okay with him. His anger had subsided and he was only filled with a deep feeling of love, he looked down at her and saw her smiling in her sleep and with that he image in mind he closed his eyes as well.
