(Bella POV)

Beep....Beep.....Beep....Beep

I tried to open my eyes but they just wouldn't open.

I tried again but nothing. I tried to move my hands, arms, head, legs, anything really but nothing would move and I was starting to get scared.

I heard the door open and this delicious smell was coming from the door and I knew I just had to find out what that smell was.

I couldn't put my finger on it but the smell was just amazing and yet familiar.

I heard the chair scrape against the floor and someone clear their throat.

"Hey man." I remember it was the guy that found me. Hottie with a body.

"Hey. My bad didn't mean to wake you up." His voice was like silky smooth to my ears.

"Anything yet?" Hottie with a body asked.

He sighed and I heard the chair move again.

"Nothing. No one is missing this girl from their packs it's like she came from no where. I just want to know her name. "

He sounded so hurt and all I wanted to do was just open my eyes and tell him my name. But I just couldn't.

"Are you going to tell her?"

Tell me? Tell me what?

It was quiet for a couple of seconds and then he answered.

"And what exactly am I suppose to say? Hey, I'm Alpha Jackson and you're my mate?" He sounded frustrated but my mind only caught one thing.

I was an Alpha's mate.

I could hear, what I was guessing was my heart monitor speed up and both chairs scrape against the floor.

"Get Dan now!"

I heard the door open and close and I felt someone grab my hand.

"I know you don't know me and I don't know you but you have to wake up now little mate."

As he spoke to me my heart beat started to slow down and I could feel myself relax.

"Can... can you hear me?"

Yes.

Was what I said in my head knowing fully well he couldn't hear me.

A couple of seconds the door opened and I could hear two sets of foot steps.

"Alpha?" A new voice said.

"She can hear me."

I heard his footsteps move around me and then I heard papers being shuffled around.

"I see. The scans show her heart rate spike about 5 minutes ago. If you don't mind me asking what exactly were you talking about?"

Me.

"This women, is my mate." Jackson said.

Just hearing him say it made my heart skip a beat and everyone knew that because my heart rate spike again but it leveled out a second after.

"That should not be happening. If she is awake and can not physically move than we have a problem. I will have the nurses run more test on her."

"My mate, and your luna will be your number one priority at the moment. I want nothing but the best." He sounded so..... serious and I had to say it was kind of a turn on.

Who doesn't love a man in charge?

"Yes, Alpha. If you will please leave the room, we need all the space we can get. I will notify you if her conditions changes."

Wait.... he was leaving me?

Here? With strangers? I don't.. I don't think I could do this without him.

My heart rate started to spike and judging by the shocks that were running up my arms I knew it was Jackson.

"Shhhh.. I am right here. I won't leave your side."

Just by hearing the words leave his mouth, I felt so much safer with him with me.

Thank you.

"I will not be leaving her side. It is clear she does not feel comfortable without me. Please, send in the nurses and have them start the testing."

It wasn't a "Can I stay for her." It was more of a "I AM going to stay here for her and there is nothing you can do." type of demand.

"Yes, Alpha." I heard the door open and closed but I knew his friend was still in the room with us.

"So... I really don't want to third wheel this.. what ever it is so I will let you get to know each other.. Kind of." He sounded kind of awkward which was funny.

"No offense Luna." You could hear the smile in his voice and I knew I was going to like him.

None taken.

"Alright. Check the perimeter and the boundaries. We need to find what direction she came from. Someone has to be missing this girl."

He said the last part more to himself than to hottie with a body.

"Yes, Alpha."

"Jacob, you're my cousin. I hate when you do that. You make me feel old."

"Sorry dude." They both laughed and I heard the door open and close.

Now we were alone.

It was kind of awkward having a stranger hold my hand especially since I barely knew him.

But in a way it was comforting to know I wasn't alone in this situation.

"So...."

Soooo...

"Uhh I am really not good at this. I mean I am because I've had practice."

Oh.

"NOT that I've talked to a lot of girls or anything! I would say a good handful. Like a really good handful because you know I'm not ugly or anything."

Hmm.

"But I'm not being cocky or anything you know? It's just you passed out before you got to actually see me..."

He sighed a frustrated sigh and I knew he was really trying to make a good impression.

I heard the door open and his hand leave my hand.

Honestly, my hand felt so cold and I wanted nothing more than to have him hold my hand again.

A course of "Alpha." was said as they entered the room.

"This is your Luna. I don't know her name nor of where she came from. You WILL treat her with respect, and she will be your main priority. Am I understood?"

"Yes Alpha." was heard and then they started to get busy. I could feel needles being poked inside of my arm but it didn't even hurt.

Bags were being opened and the something wet was touching my thighs.

I don't know how long I laid there as I was being poked and touched on every inch of my body.

"Alpha, we have to flip her on her stomach to check her spinal cord. We need to take a sample of her nerves. Will you please help us turn her?"

"Of course."

He got up from the chair and I felt his hands underneath me.

"On my count we flip her." He said.

"1.....2.....3!" I could feel myself being flipped and my only complaint was my ribs.

Ouch. Easy guys.

I guess I was still sore from the beatings.

And then I realized something.... my scars.

They lifted up my shirt and I knew I was too late.

I heard gasp all around the room and I even heard a growl.

My heart rate started to pick up and I was scared for my life.

Every time Jo would get mad he would shift and try to attack me. Made me really start to hate wolves.

So when I heard Jackson growl it just brought me back to that.

"Leave us."

He sounded so cold and it was only scaring me more. I really wanted nothing more right now then to find a corner to curl in a ball in.

But I still couldn't move.

The door closed and I could hear his heavy breathing.

I felt him hands glide over each and every scar and I could feel my throat tightening.

My eyes weren't open but I could still feel them burning and I knew I was going to cry.

"What are these." He whispered.

But it wasn't gentle. It was a harsh whisper.

"These... these things on your back who did them?!" He started to scream and I could feel the tears pour out like a waterfall.

I felt his hands underneath me again and I knew he was about to turn me over.

He flipped me.

He didn't want to see them anymore.

I was ugly. I was an ugly used, she wolf who wasn't fit to be a Luna to his pack.

Who was I kidding? No one would ever want me.

I was a broken toy.

The tears still poured down my face and I just wanted to die. I was completely worthless now.

My mate didn't want me but I didn't blame him. I wouldn't want me anymore either.

I was finally on my back and I just felt so exposed.

He hated me. I hated me.

I felt his hand touch my cheek and wiped away my tears.

"I'm so, so sorry." He said as his voice broke.

Here it comes. He's going to reject me.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I saw your scars and all I thought about is what you were going through and how I was being a terrible mate and sleeping with other she wolves."

My heart ache because he had nothing to be sorry for.

"You were hurting and where the hell was I? I honestly don't deserve you. But you are stuck with me. I will find who ever did this to you and make them pay with their life. You will have justice."

He kissed my forehead and that made my heart rate spike even more.

He laughed and it was the sweetest laugh that I have ever heard and it was music to my ears.

"?" and right there I knew my life just got better.

"Izzy!?" I screamed .

"?"

She started to laugh and so did I.

Now I had hope that everything was going to be okay.

"I'm so glad you're back Izzy... I missed you so much."

"I."

"I don't care.. I'm just happy to have you back"

""

Oh thank god.

"So now you're back for good this time?"

"?"

Before I could ask for what, I felt my leg twitch.

"God, you are so beautiful. Please wake up."

I tried to open my eyes and they started to open but closed because of the light above my head.

I tried again and this time my eyes adjusted and in front of me was the most gorgeous person I have ever met.

He had jet black hair and the shirt he was wearing really outlined his body. His muscles popped and he still smelt amazing.

His forehead was leaning on my bed, so I couldn't see his face but I didn't need to. I knew he was amazing already.

He had on a white v neck shirt, some black jeans, white shoes, and a gold watch. I kept looking at his hair and I just wanted to run my hands through his hair. It looked so soft.

"Please wake up.... I need a beautiful name to match a beautiful girl."

"That's a bit cheesy don't you think?" His head snapped up so quick to me and just as I thought his face was perfect.

"You're awake?" It was like he couldn't believe that I was here with him right now.

"Either that or I'm sleep talking..." I don't know what gave me the courage to be sarcastic with an Alpha but I loved this new side to me.

He threw his head back and laughed. He got up from the chair and leaned over my bed.

"I'm sorry but I just have too."

He leaned down and kissed me. It wasn't gentle but it wasn't rough.

It was like an urgent kiss. A needy kiss. A kiss for purpose.

This kiss was hot and needy. It sent tingles throughout my body and just as instinct I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

I don't know what came over me but I just knew I needed more. He climbed on top of the bed and leaned over me as we continued to make out.

One of his hands went underneath my back and the other went on my throat. He pulled me up like if the need to have me closer was so strong.

My legs wrapped around his torso and I was basically hanging from him.

I knock was heard at the door and then it was opened.

"Oh! Dude gross!" I recognized that voice as hottie with the body.

But I was so embarrassed that I let go of Jackson and pushed him off the bed.

Jackson landed on his back making him groan as he got up.

He shot glares at Jacob and then looked at me.

I grabbed the sheets and covered myself with them.

I could tell my face was red hot and I was just beyond embarrassed.

"W-we W-weren't .... Its n-not... It's not what it seems like! We weren't having s-sex!" Just as I thought things couldn't get any worse I just had to open my mouth.

Jacob smiled and nodded his head at me.

"Sure you weren't." He crossed his arms as he kept looking between us.

"Did you need something?" Jackson asked annoyed.

He got the chair, placed it by my bed and sat in it waiting for Jacob to explain why he interrupted us.

"Oh yea! Dude, I think we found out who she belongs to. Here." He handed Jackson a vanilla folder folder and inside there were pictures and papers.

He took out one of the pictures and held it up.

He kept looking between us and nodded his head.

"Its her. Contact her family."

"Already done. The father and brother are on their way. They should be here in about 6 hours."

"C-can I see the picture?" I asked.

"Sure you can. But you have to come out from that little burrito you are in Luna." Jacob clowned but I knew I wouldn't be able to.

Right now this burrito was the only thing making me feel less self conscious.

So, I shook my head and looked towards Jackson.

He rolled his eyes at Jacob and turned the picture around.

"Do you recognized this girl?"

I grabbed the photo and studied it. It was me alright. Same eyes, same smile, and same hair but it was just longer now.

"That's me." I whispered. I looked so happy and It just made me realize how much on life I missed being trapped.

"It says right here your name is Arabella. Your father is an Alpha of the Blood Moon pack...."

He kind of stopped there and looked towards Jacob.

"Alpha Braxton is her brother?"

Jacob snatched the folder from Jackson and looked through the paper work.

"You have got to be kidding me." Jacob said.

"Is something wrong?" I asked. They both looked at each other and Jacob threw the folder on the desk and walked out the room slamming the door.

"Your brother is....."

"A jerk." I said knowing he wouldn't want to finish that sentence.

"More than that. It's complicated." Jackson rubbed his face and I knew he wanted to run after Jacob.

"You can go find Jacob. I'm okay here. Just don't let no one inside." I sad but he shook his head.

"He needs to be alone." He got up and went to the window.

"Jacob and I went to Blood Moon pack one day. We were looking for a runaway of ours and Jacob said he could smell his mate. Said that she never smelt anything so amazing before but when he went looking for her.... it turned out she was a rogue."

I listened amazed that his mate was a rogue. Its not often you find a female rogue.

"Alpha Braxton had found her on his land and sentenced her to death."

I gasped amazed that my own flesh and blood would do something so horrible like that.

"When we tried to get her back and explain that if he killed my Beta's mate he would be starting a war between the two packs. But he was ruthless. He didn't care. Any and all rogues feared going near his pack. Some Alpha's are even scared to approach him."

I watched as he walked back to the chair and sat down.

"But we weren't. When we attacked him, he almost killed us. I was okay. I only had minor injuries, but Jacob... He almost lost his life. I knew we couldn't fight against him and his pack but he said he'd spare our lives. He spared my life because its against pack laws to kill another Alpha. And even he wouldn't risk it."

Wow.

"So he did something far worse. He kept her. And there was nothing we could do about it. She trespassed on his territory, injured some of his warriors, and stole. According to pack laws he had the right to kill her or sentence her to pack prison and he did exactly that. He wanted Jacob to know that he won by keeping her. He didn't kill her but he still has her and it hurts Jacob every day."

Hearing that my brother would do such a thing is heart breaking. I can't believe someone could be this heartless to do this to someone else.

Jacob walked in handed a Jackson a note, and headed towards the door.

He turned to me and looked at me in disgust.

I looked down ashamed at my brothers actions. Jackson noticed the exchanged we had and stood up.

"Jacob, enough. It's not her fault."

Jacob turned around and looked straight at me.

"No but you are mated to this.... disgrace."

Jackson growled and I couldn't help but flinch.
