Unnoticed

chapter 4- a new beginning

*Ashtons P.O.V. *

I gently heard my door open and small slow footsteps entering the room.

the rogue was here

As I came out from behind the bookcases I saw her.

And I mean HER.

MATE my wolf cried

I watched the small girl admire the paintings on the wall, she kept stepping back until she hit my chest,  sparks erupted everywhere just from her touch.

She smelled how everything should smell.  like a fresh vanilla sundae with honey.

she tensed up the moment she touched me and froze.

I could sense how scared she was but why? my wolf was confused and I was too.

"egh hum" I said trying not to scare her

she slowly turned around and stared at my chest taking in detail by detail

once she looked up at me I finally saw her. she had long black cascading hair that naturally waved, she had fair skin but I saw a hint of bruising.  I winced at the thought of my mate in danger. she had a small mouth which made her look adorable,  oh what I could do to those lips.  She was short in comparison to me, but it gave me pride knowing I could protect her. her clothes were ragged and didnt fit her,  they were torn from age and looked uncomfortable.  dried red patches covered them and I didn't want to think what they were.  my hands balled up at the thought and my alpha sense made her flinch. the saddest things I saw were her eyes. they looked deep into mine and all I saw was sadness,  she was scared and scarred.  who had made her this way.

I was furious but her scent calmed me down.

she fumbled with her delicate hands as I tried to speak

"what's your name" I asked

"a-Amelia" her voice wobbled

"do you know what we are Amelia" I asked

"y-yes" she stammered again.

she looked at me this time a little bravery peeked through,  I could tell that the girl she was taught to forget was an amazing person,  a little bit if a temper and a lot of bravery and right now she was letting it through.

"you can just say it" she said strongly

"what are you talking about?" I asked

"I get it you know" she said "I am pathetic and useless and who the hell would want me as their mate"

I growled a little mad that she would think of herself that way

"Amelia I will never reject you" I said

"I uh I get it you don't have to feel bad for me" she started crying "I can see you deserve much more than I have to offer"

now I was pissed

I tried to reach out my arm but as soon as I did she flinched away as if to expect an impact.

"please" I whispered,  "give me a chance to prove you wrong. that you mean so much already and I only just met you."

she nodded teas running down her face "yes alpha" she said

"its Ashton but you can call me ash"

"okay" she mumbled.

I took a step closer and she backed away and almost tripped, but I caught her.

"please don't hurt me" she cried.  her eyes were wide with fear and I too felt tears on my cheeks
