His Abused and Depressed Mate

Visited

Chris' POV

My hip felt as if it has ten slashed by a knife a hundred times, but when I checked there was nothing there. I just blew it off, thinking it was the silver that had been in my blood stream. I pushed off of the little mattress on the floor, then slid my shirt on. I stuffed one of Athena's shirts in the pillow case since I couldn't sleep without her scent.  I grabbed my phone but it was dead. It has been dead since Athena and I last spoke, so it was useless. I'm guessing she talked with Kat since John has grown significantly happier. I grew jealous, he has a happy and healthy mate, while mine is depressed and anorexic. At least mine is prettier and nicer.

All I could think about was ways to get this damn war over, but I couldn't think of a logic one. My wolf suggested that we just handed Alacander in, but I don't even know why they want him, I didn't give the hunter enough time.

A loud bang was heard outside, so I rushed over. It sounded like a gun or even a bomb, but when I got outside, there was nothing. I shrugged and continued strategizing.

Next Morning

I felt anger course through my veins when the pain in my hip continued. I knew what was going on, it was Athena. She was cutting and there was no way to stop her. I rushed over to John and took his phone from his hands, "What the Hell, man? I was trying to beat my high score!"

"Something bad has happened to Athena, I can feel it," I told him and dialed her number. John normally uses *67 so people can't contact him back, so it was there when I called.

The ringing was intense, whenever it would stop, so did my heart. Suddenly, a very soft, sweet voice came through from the other side, "H-hello? Athena Pleddine speaking," she used my last name! I was completely dumbfounded by her voice and what she said, that I couldn't speak, "Hello? Is anyone there?" Her voice was like sweet honey, I groaned. She gasped, "Chris?" I heard her voice change into a happier tone, yet still saddened and shy,

"Baby girl, you said my last name," I mumbled,

"S-sorry, I won't do it again, I promise," her voice was slow and quiet. Promise. She broke our promise,

"Athena, love. It's fine, but do you wanna know something?"

"What is it? Are you okay?"

"You broke our promise. Didn't you?" I felt my world shatter as she stayed silent. I'm so far away from her, yet I can feel her heart clench, "You made me a promise that you wouldn't cut, why did you break it? Has anyone upset you?" I questioned,

"I-I'm so sorry, I just couldn't hold it in any longer. I miss you so much a-and..." She sniffles and took a deep breath, "Chris, Ben won't stop crying! I've tried everything as he just wouldn't stop until I put your shirt on him. I have only been able to leave the house once!" She sobbed. I listened to her cry for a minute before she spoke again, "I'm such a disappointment, I'm sorry," she murmured. Tears swelled up in my eyes, threatening to fall,

"Baby, you're NOT a disappointment, I'm just mad at myself for not being able to help you. But where did you go when you left the house?" I asked,

"To the Pack house. Do you know what happened between John and Kat?"

"Yes, now why did you go to the Pack house?"

"Because Alessia needs to grow a backbone. She needs to know that not everything can evolve around her and she can't just go and give her body out to whoever will take it."

"What did you do?"

"I just told her off, saying I could get her in a cell or even make her a rogue if won't stop 'doing' the mated men," she sniffles and let out a shaky breath, "Please don't stop talking, I've missed your voice so much," she muttered,
