My Mate

Hope

I sat on Zayn’s lap, a man who until a few minutes ago was someone I loathed and considered my enemy. Everything he said was surreal but on the other hand sitting here on his lap right now I had never felt so safe.

He brought his hand to my neck and ran his fingers across my birthmark. He made me feel things I don’t ever remember feeling.

“Do you remember what this is?”

“My birthmark?” I asked in a low voice.

He pursed his lips together “It’s not a birthmark. It is a mark though. My mark.”

His eyes turned a few shades darker as he locked them on mine I felt a bit anxious. I bit down on my l*p as he looked deeply into my soul. How in the world is he doing this? I mentally asked myself

“Your mark?” I repeated trying to break away from his hypnotic eyes and the spell he had me under.

“Yes and this is your mark” He moved the collar of his shirt to the side.

Oh my god he had the same birthmark….mark on his neck. My eyes moved slowly from his neck back up to his eyes. His masculine aura took me under drowning me in a sea of emotions. My breathing became softer and felt my pensive look melt away into a small smile.

“When you mark someone you are showing the world that he or she belongs to you.” He continued to explain a concept I couldn’t fathom. Voices in my head, hearing him speak to me in my head, marks and alphas are all fictional details out of a book or movie. I tried to get up again but he pulled me down again

“This is too much all at once” I said looking everywhere but not at his eyes. His deep Husky voice was enough to make me melt into him. I had to break away from the physical and emotional grip that he had on me. But he wasn’t having it. He was definitely someone who was used to getting what he wants.

“I know” He gently gripped my chin and turned my face towards his “but I promise once we are back home everything will fall into place and everything I told you will make more sense” There I was spellbound again. He is just so handsome I mean nobody else could compare to him. But now that I was studying his features intently he looked tired almost worn out like he hadn’t slept in a while. His scruffy beard gives him a rough looking appearance. I wonder if that’s just his look or if he hasn’t shaved in a long time. In the visions I had of him he had a light stubble. Regardless he is simply gorgeous. Like a Greek God ..okay I need to stop staring at him.

My body squirmed just a bit before my muscles relaxed. There was something about his gaze and the way he spoke, I was sure I would never find myself bewitched by another man’s voice or stare. A sudden knock at the door makes me jump off his lap. He sighs and stands up

“Yes come in”

“Hey I thought you both might like a drink” His sister handed him two glasses of wine. She looked happy like she was happy her brother and I were in here. But I didn’t want them getting the wrong idea so I walked towards the door

“No, I’m fine I need to check on Kain” I said and walked out.

“Actually his name is Gavin” His sister said. I looked back at her then continued when I passed by Zayn’s father and his friends one of them around Zayn’s age stood up “Luna it’s so nice to see you after all this time. I’m so happy for your safe return” I wanted to ask him why he called me Luna but I didn’t. I managed to smile at him.

“Hope” Zayn’s dad took me aside Zayn walked up to my side “I called your parents and I cannot tell you how overwhelmed and happy they were when I told them we found you. Your mother was in tears” I couldn’t find the words I wanted to say. I had parents that I didn’t remember.

“How long until we get there?” Is all I managed to utter.

“About two hours.” Zayn answered after looking at his watch. His watch caught my attention for a few seconds

“Hope” His father called my attention back to him “Whatever Alex did to you he will pay for I assure you. He took you away from your loved ones and has obviously brainwashed you but nothing is ever lost. I have never witnessed a stronger bond as you two had and I’m sure your love for each other will withstand this dilemma” he motioned his hand between Zayn and I.

Once again I was at a loss for words. He walked away and I hurried off to Kain’s side he was still unconscious.

“Kain you have to be okay. Who else am I going to train with from now on?” I asked in a small whisper and laughed silently to myself

“Baby come eat please” I was famished so I just nodded my head

“I want to see Alex” He looked at me with pursed lips.

“I have to see him” I said. He pinched the bridge of his nose then ran his hand through his hair. He walked before me to where Alex was. He had his eyes wide open I had never seen such a sinister look before. He glared at me then at Zayn but he couldn’t say anything because his mouth was stuffed with a towel of some sort. As soon as Zayn took the towel out of his mouth he took a deep breath.

Zayn

“So a*****e you told her I killed her parents you are so pathetic” He was looking straight at me “She’s going to see her parents in a little bit”

“Alex you said Zayn took me away from you”

“It was the other way around wasn’t it?” She asked. I was so relieved to hear her say that but the mother fucker remained quiet. I wanted to bang his head against the wall until he bled to death but not right now. He looked away from her knowing he had lost.

“I have been in love with you ever since you were little but he was always in the way” then like a f*****g lunatic he starts shouting “Hope don’t believe a word he says he’s trying to take you away from me again” Hope jumped at the tone of his voice. I grabbed his neck

“I took her away from you? You lousy piece of s**t. You think she would give you the time of day? I treated you like family and what did you do? …tell her” I sneered at him and clawed at his neck drawing out b***d.

My father came over and mind linked me so Alex wouldn’t hear We need him to figure out how he erased her memory

“Alex you will be punished for your treason as soon as we land. Brian is going to tear your head off” My father growled at him the f**k cowered back in his seat.

“Alpha please forgive me” He pleaded

“Forgive you? For what …tell her” I ordered him. Axel came over and stood by me.

“Tell her now” I snarled

“I kidnapped you. I lied”

I heard Hope gasp. I let go of him and smirked at him in victory

“It was always him huh Hope? even though I erased your memory he was always in the way” He screamed at her.

“Lower your voice when speaking to her” I growled before Axel hit him for what seemed like the hundredth time.

“I want my bag” Hope said as she walked away with her head down. f**k. I followed her got her bag and took it into the bedroom where she was sitting. Emily was with her.

“I’m sorry for all this Hope” Em said “You don’t deserve this nobody does but you’ve always been strong and you’ll make it through this” She leaned in carefully and hugged her. I smiled when I saw my baby hug her back.

When we were left alone she got up opened her bag and took out one bottle after the other of her “medication” the cunning bastard had gotten her a s**t load.

“Can you please dispose of them” She asked so calmly

“My pleasure” I emptied all the bottles in the toilet except for one. The doctor will need to study it’s composition to figure out a quick way to get her memory back.

I came back into the bedroom and walked over to her. Her eyes met mine

“I’m tired is it okay if I lay down here”

“Baby this is our jet. Our bedroom. you can do whatever you want”

I came in closer to her f*****g mouthwatering body and pulled her into my arms. She was hesitant and unsure but as soon as I put her head against my chest she melted into me like she had done every other time before. I brought my head into the crook of her neck and stayed there for a few seconds letting her scent calm me. I missed her so much. I pulled back and took her face in my hands.

“Sleep you look tired” I told her

“So do you” She said. I kissed her forehead for not wanting to go for more because I wouldn’t be able to stop myself then put her in bed and tucked her in but not before I made sure she had a sandwich and piece of fruit. I got in bed and lied down next to her she tried to inch away so I pulled her into my arms and ran my hand through her long hair.

“Don’t push me away. I won’t ever hurt you. I love you” I whispered to her. I had her head on my left arm that wrapped around to her shoulder and my other arm was around her waist. I felt myself relax when her breath evened out she had fallen asleep. I looked down at her beautiful face and placed a single k**s on her nose. This is heaven. This is where I ever want to be.

All the sleep deprivation finally caught up with me and I fell asleep listening to the beating of her heart.
