Abused and mated to the alpha (rewrite in process)

Chapter 7

       A week passed and Aria was let out of the infirmary. Darius escorted her to their pack house. Along the way, she got looks and remarks about her choice of attire: sweats and a baggy sweater in Florida's sunny weather. Darius, of course, shot them down. After all, what right did they have to pick on her? He thinks perhaps she's had enough. Since that night, the two of them talked. Aria found she could trust him with her thoughts, which was abnormal for her. Darius thought she was beautiful, regardless of the shape her body was currently in. "Here we are, the pack house." The house before her was huge. The body of the house was white with gold painted trim around windows and doors. The doors,  a cherry wood colour with gold coloured handles and trim. She couldn't believe the beauty before her, it was so clean and so surreal.

       "You enjoy it?" Darius chuckled as her big green eyes fixated on the beauty.

       Aria chuckles and shrugs. "It's uhm.. it's okay I guess." Darius rolls his eyes and pokes her shoulder.

       "Brat." He chuckles.

       "Butt hole" Aria murmurs. Darius laughs. He laughs and looks at her with confusion.

       "No one has called me a butt hole in the entire history of my life. You, miss Aria have guts!" Aria rolls her eyes

       "Remember, I'm saving myself." Aria felt it had to be mentioned. She never liked to feel in debt to people, she she always found a way to help herself.

       "Yeah, yeah miss damsel sitting in the car driving away." They already had this joke between eachother. It bugged Darius that she wouldn't let him help her. Therefore he calls her the damsel who already drove away without the help of any man in shining armour. It made her feel good, so he let her bask in her own independence as she had rightfully earned.

       The two walked into the house, the scent of cookies wafted around the foyer. A petit blonde girl taps into the room. "You must be Aria! Jackson has mentioned so much about you! Are you the alphas mate?" Arias heart raced

       "Uhm... no?" Arias stammered her words.

       "Hmmmmm how old are you?" The blonde asks.

       "17.. why..?" The blonde smiles like the grinch.

       "We'll see." Aria's eyes go big.

       Darius rolls his eyes and scoffs. "Katie, go lay down or something." The girl, Katie, scoffs as a reply.

        "Don't make me tell my mate that the big bad alpha got caught last week looking at makeup and girl clothes." Darius locks his jaw in annoyance.

       "That was for Aria and you know it!!" Darius bites his cheek.

Katie chuckles and rolls her eyes. She knew that Darius was over the moon to meet his mate, although he was completely oblivious. The small girl in front of her look petrified. She trembled in her shoes, almost as if she felt she was going to get her face beat in for not saying anything. Katie saw her cuts and realized the two of them had a similar past. It didn't take much for Katie to sympathize with the broken girl. "Come with me, Aria dear. We're going on an adventure." Aria shook instinctively.

"And where, exactly, are you taking her?" Darius was getting protective of the girl. Little by little every minute, he grew more and more attached.

"It's no matter for you, just give me your credit card!" Katie's eyes glistened. Darius's glazed over. "It's for Ariaaaaaa! I'm not that terrible, if it were for me I'd ask my own mate, thank you very much." Katie bared a pride smirk. A shiver was heard in the distance. Her mate.
