Beta's Witch Mate

I struggled to be free as my grandmother and my dad led me to the stables, even though they looked at me calmly you could see the panic in their eyes.

"Dad " I whispered and tried to struggle free from his tight grip but I was never strong for him, tears formed in my eyes as I looked at the black horse that was prepared to take me away.

But I didn't want to go and leave them behind, the cries of agony and screams of pain made me a shiver rush down my spine. " Dad " I whispered again and this time he looked at me with that familiar gaze.

His eyes softened and I almost burst into tears, he leaned forward and pressed a lingering kiss on my forehead, when he opened his eyes I could see the pain in them.

As we neared the horse I turned to my grandmother " grand ma, convince him " I whispered and she lowered her head.

You could hear the raids getting louder and the smell of blood made me shudder internally, the whole village was now on fire and the people of my race were being murdered in such a brutal way.

I wanted to fight, I wanted to stay like my father and grandma and fight for my people but before I could say a thing my father lifted me up of the floor like I weighed nothing and placed me on the black horse.

I didn't notice him holding a whip until now, he lifted it and hit the horse so hard that it let out a loud cry before taking off. I screamed in panic immediately taking the rains so that I don't fall, it was hard to look back but I had too.

Tears fell down my face, my eyes on the two people I loved most in my whole life. I didn't notice how we crossed the border until it was empty.

I pulled the reins of the horse so fast that it came to a halt and without waiting anything I jumped off and headed towards the border but there was nothing except the empty field.

I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, the barrier had risen. Our race was protected by a magical barrier and once outside it's hard to enter. On the outside it was just an empty field not giving anyone a chance to know that the empty field was a small town of witches.

I stumbled back and tripped over a rock landing on my butt, the fires and all those painful cries couldn't be heard anymore.

I was now alone and outside, since childhood I was never allowed to step outside the town and the mansion. I was completely hidden that only my grandmother and father knew about my existence.

My father, grandma and my people, I can't save them when am said to be a powerful being.

Heavy sobs raked my body and guttural cry escaped my lips, I will revenge my people. I will fight until I pay every single one of that army pay.

I grabbed a handful of dirt and lifted it to my forehead, I made a promise to the heavens and the lands before turning around and heading for my horse.

It's not like I can enter the town again, I didn't know how to enter it even if I want to.

Tears streamed down my face and I sobbed softly, I stood by my horse and stared at the barrier one more time before taking off.

One thing for sure, I didn't know where I was going but I had to leave. Dad sent me here so I could be safe and I was going to do that.

My white cloak protected me from the night breeze, the trees stood on each side of the forest as we rode through.

With count I couldn't tell how far we were from the town but to me this wasn't far enough, I continued without stopping.

It took a while before I found another town, the moon shown above it as silence welcomed me.

I got off my horse, the only sound around was my footsteps. The houses here were all beautiful, the only cheaper ones were two storey buildings.

I sighed and walked deeper in to the town, you could see one or two people at a time looking through the windows but no one dared to step outside.

It was really weird, no shop or restaurant was open. I don't think it's that late in night but why didn't anyone come out.

I was getting anxious, coming to a halt in the middle of the town I decided maybe I should just pass through.

My white cloak flattered with the cold winds and from a far I could hear movement, I lifted my eyes in that direction as I waited.

I hoped that it was a person that would help me right now but as the movements got closer, fear rushed through my veins.

It sounded like wild animals rushing this way at a high speed, a shiver rushed down my spine and my horse started getting out of control.

You could see the fear in its eyes reflect in mine. My horse started kicking and striking to the extent that I couldn't hold it back, it leaped forward and the reins were no longer in my arms.

"Wait..." I tried calling it back though I knew it won't listen, panic rushed through my veins and sweat bedded my forehead. My eyes turned glossy and I felt like crying once again.

The movement of wild animals got closer and I was about to turn on my heal to run but it was late.

A huge gray and white wolf rushed towards me, my eyes widened and I took a step back before it pounced on me and I fell back while a loud screams erupted from deep in my throat.

My eyes were still wide as I stared at the wolf that was looking down at me, it's dark eyes so deep that I felt like it was sucking away my soul.

I shuddered internally when it displayed it's teeth and my whole body shook so badly, I couldn't believe that I was about this die even before I could revenge my family.

But if I was to die then why was it taking so long, this wolf wasn't doing anything except looking at my face. I didn't understand a thing of what was going on.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I watched it get off me and if my eyes could open more wide then they just did.

What was really going on, was it going me let go just like that, it wasn't making sense. I was about to stand up when I felt a tug at the ends of my cloak.

My eyes turned to it and I shivered, before I could comprehend its next I was dragged away towards the forest and another scream erupted from deep within me.

I tried to scream but no one came to my rescue not even a single person in those houses dared to open the door.

I tried to grabbed anything to hold me back but got nothing, the speed increased and every open part of my body was bruising and I closes my eyes because it was getting hard to see anything.

I was panic and anxious, I wondered where this damned wolf was taking me, my heart drummed hard against my chest and every where was hurting so badly.

I thought that wolf was alone but with time I realized the movement, it was a whole pack.

I don't know how I lost conscious but I did.

My eyes fluttered open am eyelashes trembled, the dim lights made me close my eyes for a minute before I opened them again.

It was a dark room with a huge metal door, I looked around and I was the only one in here.

There was nothing in this room and except me who was sitting on the floor.

I noticed that my cloak was gone and my silk dress was all that I had on, my white hair flowed down my shoulder in an enchanting manner.

I knew it always did because of my true blood as a white witch.

As I was lost in my thoughts I heard footsteps coming towards the door, and then it was pushed open.

I lifted my eyes and looked towards whoever that had come.

In the door way stood a tall man, he was like 6'0 tall, his chestnut hair combed back where as his dark eyes stared down at me with something in them.

Something that was inviting me to an ending world, he slowly took footsteps towards me and each step had a comforting manner to it.

I didn't know why but I couldn't bear to look away from him and neither did he look away from me, the closer he got the more anxious I got.

I could feel a fire ignite deep in me and sweet smell attacked my nostrils, he finally stood in front of me and my heart skipped a few times.

When he squat down right at my level, I stopped breathing for a one or two minutes when his dark eyes held my gray ones.

The urge to get closer to him was so intense that I was finding it hard to control myself.

"Undeveloped witch is my mate, ridiculous does the moon goddess hate me that much " A deep and husky voice sounded in the room and my eyes finally widened in realisation.

The pinch of rejection hit me hard and my chest hurt so much. I found my mate and he just rejected me like that.

"Take her away from here " He ordered and two men walked forward each dragging me by the arm out of the room.

I turned to look at him one more time and a my lips curled into a bitter smile, this guy was really so full of himself.

I didn't want to be here, practically I was dragged to this place and I don't choose my mate.

Before we stepped out of the room I lifted my head and turned to him

" I wonder what I ever did the moon goddess to be given an egoistic jerk as my mate " I said softly though I knew he could hear it.

Everyone heard it as the whole room went silent and all eyes turned to me.
