The Blinded Mate

Rejection or acceptance?

Harmony POV

As I was woken up with a shake to the shoulders and a hard slap that sent me to the ground, I reach up the my stinging cheek, now fully awake. "Wake up you filth, time for testing." I heard a deep voice tell me. As I try to stand I nod, not knowing where he is. He pulls harshly at my chains, forcing me to take steps towards my awaiting doom.

I trip twice but he doesn't stop, he continues to drag me while lay limp on the floor. We stopped next to what I can only assume is a door. I hear a crash and lift my head as I hear something that almost never happens here.

I hear growling near me and images flash of what happened when I was five. My eyes start watering as loud crashes are all around me, I go into the fetal position covering my ears as I'm once again scared for my life, but in a completely different way.

My chains have been released, because I start to crawl away until I hear a very menacing growl right in front of me. And for the first time in a couple years, my weak wolf decides to speak up.

Go to him, go to him! Is all I can hear her saying. And when I touch him his fur is possibly the softest thing I've ever touched. But that's not what made me want to hug him like my teddy bear I had. It was the tingles, on my skin and in my heart. And in that moment I knew he was my mate, I smiled. For the first time in 11 years I felt pure joy, and happiness. But I guess he didn't feel the same as when I reached to touch him again his jaws clamped down on my hand making my already sore throat scream as my hand oozes with the red liquid that made everyday hell for me.

As I'm cradling my hand I hear someone shifting but I put in the back of my mind as all I could think is why would my mate do something like that? Would he reject me because I'm blind? Because I'm weak?

I had no idea what was going on as I was lifted into someone's arms, I felt the tingles so I knew that it was him. I almost instantly calmed down knowing that he was holding me, protecting me. And with that calming factor, I came to the realization of how tired I was. And drifted off into a sleep where I wasn't scared that when I wake up, there will be pain, and torture.
