Fragile, Innocent, and Scared

Chapter 3

I will be posting two chapters. This is the first one.

*Flora*          

            "Mom said I would never have a mate." I whispered out to Emma, although she had already known. Emma sighed, "I know sweetie but he is here and he wants to be with you." I fumbled with my fingers, "How do you know? He seemed angry at me. He seemed as though he was angry that he got such a weak mate. I should not be mated to any wolf, let alone an alpha." One of my pieces of hair fell from the braid and softly touched my cheek, but it was warm. I looked up to see the Alpha kneeling in front of the bed. His touch was so soft and gentle I had mistaken it for my own hair.

            I looked at him and he frowned, "Don't ever call yourself weak and unworthy." He said in a low yet calming tone of voice. I could only nod my head slowly, too dazed by him to do anything else really. He then stood up and held his hand out to me. "Come on, the training is starting and I don't want my Luna to be left alone." Alone. The word 'alone' brought back reoccurring memories of how the man laughed, "You will be left alone forever! You will have no one!". He then snapped my woman's neck and I let out a cry for my mother... "Flora! Flora! Come back, it's me Emma!" My eyes focused or at least they tried to as I saw a blurred image of Emma kneeling in front of me. "It's okay darling, you're not there." she said and hugged me close. I sniffled as the last bits of the memory left my mind.      

            "Flora, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to..." I nodded my head, "It's okay, it's not your fault." He looked as though he didn't believe me but let it be and brought me close to him. Emma left the room, followed by me and my mate. As we passed a mirror in the hall I sighed and had to walk back to the room. I dried the tears off my face and fixed the little make-up I wore. My mate sat next to me as I did. When I finished we both walked out to the training grounds the pack had. I couldn't stand to fight so I sat on one of the metal bleachers they had outside. Sad is that I used to be the best fighter in the pack. My eyes gazed at my mate as he trained with Alpha Evan.

            I took this time to really take in my mate's features. He of course had muscles and a lot of them, but not too much to look gross. He had a mix of dark and medium brown hair and had slightly tanned skin. The best of his features was what I had noticed earlier. He had these mesmerizing hazel eyes. They were a green along the rim of his iris which then shifted to a sandy brown and finally in beautiful spikes around his iris was a solid shimmery gold. I feel jealous that my mate has prettier eyes than mine. I heard my mate laugh through all the grunts from the people fighting. What did he think was so funny? I looked at him with a confused look which only caused him to laugh more and even Alpha Evan started to laugh.

            I stood up and descended down the bleachers and towards the laughing duo. "What are you laughing at?" I asked while looking at them both. "You" my mate replied and I gasped and stepped back my eyes wide and filled with hurt. He caught on and quickly stopped laughing. "No, no, no baby I didn't mean it that way." he said as he walked two steps to reach me and enveloped me in a big hug. "I was just laughing because you said I had prettier eyes than you." He pulled away from the hug and looked me in the eye, "Which by the way isn't true." He said with a bright smile, causing me to blush. Just then Emma came over all sweaty and dirty, "Hey, want to go and eat some burgers, fries and tons of cookies after I take a quick shower?" I nodded my head and smiled. Alpha Evan chuckled, "That is not the best meal to eat after training." He narrowed his eyes playfully at Emma. "Oh well" she said and brought me along with her back to the room.

Seth's P.O.V (Sebastian)

            Evan clapped me on the back after Flora and her Emma left. "You handled that situation well" I grabbed a towel and wiped off my sweat from my forehead. We sat on the bleachers talking now that practice was done. I ran my fingers through my hair, "I know, she's so fragile. I already made her cry once today." I said feeling guilty. "YOU WHAT! HOW!" Evan yelled beside me, although it didn't affect me. I could tell he really cares for Flora. "I was telling her to come to the fields with me for training so she wouldn't be alone." I said honestly. Evan immediately calmed down and said, "oh" as soon as he heard the word 'alone'. Did he know why she broke down?

           "Do you know why she started crying? I tried to get to her but, it was like she was under a spell." I whispered out the last part as I remembered trying to shake my mate as she stared blankly at nothing in particular with tears streaming from her eyes. Evan sighed, "I know this is not my place to tell you, but I fear if you ask Flora then she will revisit it again." I placed my water bottle on the ground and listened intently to what he was saying. "It was the night of Flora's fifteenth birthday, and her and her parents were having a fun time with her birthday party. She was so carefree back then. She had challenged our best fighter that night to fight her and he stupidly did..." I felt angry at the thought of a male wolf fighting with my mate, but nonetheless let him continue.

            "She had beat him and had taken the title of the packs best fighter. It was then that she was excited. She had been so happy. When it grew dark the party was over and everyone went home. Flora had been with her parents, who stayed to clean up some of the party. I remember I had been walking around that night feeling as if something bad would happen. My wolf nor I could tell what it was exactly. I had been walking by the park when I heard the most terrified scream. It had come from Flora. I ran towards the park and to where I had heard her scream only to see no one there. This next part came from Flora when she told us before she passed out." he told me as he looked at me with a 'keep calm' look. I nodded my head and he continued.

Flora's P.O.V

            Emma had told me to ask the alpha's if they would join us for burgers, so I was walking by the bleachers where I heard then talking. As my mind registered what they were saying it started to fog over, it was happening again. "NOOOOO!" I screamed knowing how much pain I would go through.

Seth's P.O.V

            "NOOOOO!" I heard someone scream behind us. I was on high alert and ran to my mate just before she fell to the ground. "FLORA" I yelled, but it was too late. Her eyes closed and she started to shake. "What the hell is happening" I yelled to Evan. "She is revisiting the past. Hurry you have to mark her and be with her through this pain. The last time she fainted because of this she almost didn't wake up." That made me scared and mad at the same time. "I'm sorry" I said as the tears started to flow from her closed eyes. I then leant down and bit into her neck, exactly where the mark should be. 

I can't find who I want to play Alpha Sebastian (Seth) so in the comments is three different guys. You can imagine some other guy if you want.
