MUTE AND ABUSED MATE
' 30 '

Fleurie woke in the empty cold room, missing the warmth of her mate.She felt embarrassed about what happened to her in the school, but noone could blame her, she couldn't stand the memories that rushedthrough her mind.

She got up placing her feet's on the cold ground, sitting up straightwith her head facing her thighs, she closed her eyes sighed slowlyplanning to let some of the stress out.

She got up with the plan of replaceing her mate, she was oblivion to themotions that happened outside of the castle.

Meanwhile, Graysen headed toward his office to the waiting unwantedintruders.

He opened the door walking to his desk and sitting at attention, Ryanand his mate sat beside each other on the same couch, and Eve satbeside her sister Isis.

" what's the most important reason that brought you here?". Graysenasked with his serious Alpha voice looking threateningly at Ryan.

" Tsillah is coming back, and this time she's not alone, she has a hugearmy with her, and I'm assuming that while we're talking she'spreparing her army that contains stupid bitches right now" Ryan withan icy voice, while Eve was glaring at him.

* And why would I believe you?" Graysen asked patiently.

"were her daughters, who sent her back to the world of witches, shepromised that she would come back the moment the new rulers willappear,” Isis said with clouds that are still playing with her hair strands.Graysen sensed his mate the moment she was near the area of theoffice. He prayed to luna that she will not come into the office But heknew that luna wanted to play a little bit more the moment he heardthe handle of the door groaning and juggling.

Fleurie stepped in but she stopped shortly after seeing the crowd in theoffice. she panicked and slammed the door shut running to her room.I will be punished,

they will hit me.

they...

she was thinking out loud and running through the corridors.

he used to hit her hard when she interrupted them, he would let herstay outside all night even if it was raining or snowing, he didn't carethat much about her. Tears welled up in her eyes she was still runninguntil she collided into a warm small body then fell on the ground.Apollo fell to the ground, by his panicking luna, she was gasping andcrying loudly and he was surprised that she didn't draw the guard'sattention.

apollo was looking at her clouded eyes, wondering where she swamtoo.

he got up pulling her trembling body to him and she clung onto himwithout hesitation.

she was crying loudly, muttering and mumbling with words that are notunderstandable, he pulled her closer to him, he was overwhelmed andworried about his dear luna.

"1 got you. It's gonna be okay, you're gonna be okay" he whispered inher ears trying to calm her but she wasn't responding to him.

Xaun came running toward his mate and luna sensing both of theirmessy feelings.

" what's wrong?. what happened?” he asked frowning at his alsopanicking mate.

" l.she.." Apollo couldn't say anything, his tears starting to slide downhis eyes, he didn't know what to do, nor he knew what's wrong withher.

* calm down baby, please” Xaun crouched down and tried to calm himbut it was no use.

Xaun could hear foot pounding towards and he could sense his Alphagetting closer and closer to them.

Apollo panicked more and scooted to the corner with the lunaunconscious in his embrace, he saw them as predators.

Graysen ran out of the room with the others behind him the momenthe couldn't feel his mate anymore, and he was shocked by the scene hesaw, he saw Apollo the mate of the father of the land embracing hisunconscious mate, Apollo was crying silently and he was tightening hisarm around his mate, Xaun is crouching down and trying to talk to hismate.

" Apollo, just talk to me please " Xaun pleaded, trying to get his matebut he couldn't.

Graysen didn't have any choice rather than using his Alpha voice to getApollo's attention " Apollo, Move." That made Apollo tense and waneinto his fae form and hide in his mate's hair, away from the others.Graysen took Fleurie from the ground and he marched away orderingthe guards to keep a look on his guests.

Xaun walked toward his and his weeping mate room, he got in closingthe door behind him.

" Get out of there baby," He said with a gentle soft voice to his littlemate.

He could feel Apollo's breath on his neck.

Apollo flew toward their bed and shifted again to his human form, helaid in bed and started sobbing, he felt ashamed and scared becausehis Alpha had to use his dominant voice, and it frightened him so much.Xaun sighed softly, he sat on the bed pulling his mate in his embrace,Apollo snuggled into him, tightening his hand around his mate. After afew minutes, he calmed down after he sobbed into his chest and thesound of sniffling filled the room.

" Why didn't you listen to me cutie? huh?" Xaun asked Apollo with atender, soft voice, Xaun cupped his mate's face and looked at him withhis warm eyes. Apollo's eyes were red and puffy, and he was biting hisbottom lip, not looking directly at his mates eyes

* Why did you do that? come on baby, tell me" Xaun asked smilingsoftly, ruffling his mate's soft hair.

" S-she was hurt,” Apollo said quickly with a cracking voice.

"1 know she was hurt, sweetie, I wanted to help but you didn't let me,”Xaun said chuckling at his clumsy, innocent mate.

" you wanted to take her from me," Apollo said with a pout and hecrossed his arm feeling angry.

"so I could help, what drove you to do that? you scooted away notletting anyone touch you or step near you at all". Xaun said, caressinghis mate's back and feeling frustrated.

“Instinct” Apollo said, his cheeks flushing, he felt embarrassed, he didn'tknow what's wrong with him.

"And what did those instincts told you" Xaun still smiling slightly, asked.Apollo said while he was fiddling with the hem of his shirt, still feelingembarrassed " t-that I should protect f-friends”

" you're such a kind-hearted baby" Xaun looked at him with warm eyes."come on, I missed your bright smile, smile for me my little fae" Xaunbrought his hand to his mate's chin, pulling it up gently.

"1 won't, smiles are contagious,” Apollo said, trying to tease his mate,and biting his lips to prevent smiling.

" You don't have to worry I'm vaccinated, " Apollo laughed loudlyhugging his smiling mate tightly.

"You have to come back tomorrow, it's getting late and we have schoolin the early morning," Graysen said firmly not giving them the chanceto protest.

"as you wish, we will come back tomorrow after you all finish school,”Iris said with a calming voice.

"1 will let the guard escort you out" Graysen mind linked the guards,telling them to escort them directly to the borders.

After the exited Graysen suit, Martin got in followed by Marissa andBryce.

"Explain," Bryce said curtly, while Graysen was looking at them with hisexhausted eyes.

"Your daughters went to the castle," he said, his leg propped up on thedesk of her office.

"I know," she said glaring at his dirty legs, she didn't like him, but sheneeds his help.

"what are we waiting for then?" he said, while he puffed the smoke outof his filthy mouth.

"For the right time to come," she said while swatting his dirty leg of herdesk.
