*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
I quickly grabbed her so she couldn't back away and held her close
sitting with her on my lab I let her cry into my shoulder.
how could someone do this to my baby. how could they hurt her. whoever did this was going to pay. an eye for an eye.
hours passed and I finally felt Amelia fall into a deep slumber, I carried her to my bedroom and set her down under the covers.
curling up next to her I rubbed her back as her crying ceased.
*Amelais P.O.V.*
I woke up feeling better.
it was a strange feeling and I couldn't figure out what it was until I saw Ash sleeping next to me
I slowly turned around in his arms and watched him sleeping. he looked beautiful.
without thinking I traced his lips with my finger. his breathing quickened and he chuckled deeply.
"that tickles" he said in a sexy husky voice
"sorry" I quickly apologised
his eyes shot open "you never have to apologise to me Amelia" he said
smiling a little I nodded
he stared into my eyes with love and adoration.
"we need to get you some clothes" he said
he bounded off the bed a picked me up bridal style
"hey hey I have two legs I can do it" I said
"hm secretly sassy" he laughed "I like it"
I blushed and hid my head, Ash lifted my chin up "that was the most adorable thing I have ever seen" he said only causing me to blush further
he set me down and took my hand instead, I noticed that if I just tilted my head up we would be millimeters away from kissing
"whatcha staring at" he asked
shit! I had been staring at his lips...
he chuckled and backed me up against the wall.
now I have been pushed up against a wall before but this time is was in a sexy way and it felt right
"all you had to do was ask" he mumbled getting closer
"what are y---" I started to say but he cut me off and captured my lips in his.
Our first kiss was gentle and loving.
he really seems to care I thought
obviously, my wolf said back
Ash broke it off and smiled at me. the smile made my knees feel like jelly but he was holding me up.
I know he felt me swoon because he started chuckling
"im taking you to meet someone" he said
with that he led me to another room and knocked on the door
"Hanna" he yelled
the blaring music stopped and a gorgeous girl opened the door
I felt jealousy that she lived here so close to him,
"the hell do you want Ash" Hanna said
"meet my mate Amelia" Ash said
Hannas eyes widened and she shrieked she hugged me tight while I kind of stood there awkwardly
"OMG NO WAY" she yelled "hai Amelia im Hanna, Ashs sister"
relief swept over me as I said hi back
"she needs clothes, make up, shoes, everything" Ash said
Hanna looked me up and down and agreed
"we're going shopping now" she stated "but first you can borrow some of my clothes because im not letting you out of the house in that"
I got dragged into Hannas room and quickly tried to wave at Ash
_____________________________
By the time we were back Hanna and I had a ton of clothing and shoes, the whole shebang. (yes, I really did just say that)
I dragged the bags up the stairs and found my way back to Ashs room
"Ash?" I called out
Ash walked out of the shower with just a towel wrapped around his lower half. he noticed me staring
"like what you see?" he smirked
"I've seen better" I nonchalantly replied
that stopped him dead in his tracks.
he looked at me amused by what I had said
"oh really?" he asked
"mhmm" I replied trying to lie
he walked over to me as I dropped the bags. For the second time today I was back against the wall, only this time Ash was half naked.
"you know Amelia, I could do so many fun things with you right now that would make you forget any other men exist" he warned
I gulped
he pressed his body against mine and I watched the water droplets roll of off his sculpted chest.
I looked up into his amused eyes and did something that suprised him and myself.
I kissed him
he was taken back a little bit but started kissing me back
his tongue begged for entrance but being the tease I was, I denied it
"you think you can get away that easily" he said against my mouth
he scooped me uo so that my legs were around his waist
out of nowhere he squeezed my ass and I gasped, taking that as his cue he slipped his tongue into my mouth and we fought for dominance. he won and I felt his tongue roam my mouth as little baby sparks set off everywhere where we touched.
we pulled away gasping for breath
"see" he simply said
I laughed at play punched him
gently Ash set me down and got dressed as I put my new clothes into the closet he said was mine. I gasped when I saw it, the clost was bigger than my old "bedroom".
he came up behind me amd snuggled him face into my neck,I giggled as his hot breath tickled my neck.
"can I ask you a question" Ash said
"sure" I replied
he lookes kinda nervous and rubbed the back of his neck the way guys do when they're about to ask something that they're not sure the answer too.
"will uh you go on a date with me tonight?" he asked nervously
"of course I would!" I said happily
Ash breathed a sigh of relief
"you have a couple hours to get ready, wear something pretty" he said pecking me on the lips.
I looked through my wardrobe and found the perfect outfit.
I put on a tight deep blue dress that had lace sleeves and a lace sweetheart neckline. The dress below the line of the sweetheart was just a deep blue. it reached mid thigh and had three quarter length sleeves. With it I paired matching coloured high ankle boots and a silver clutch.
I looked at my face knowing I couldn't do much with it.
I yelled down the hallway for Hanna and she came right away.
"can you do my make up and hair please" I begged
Hanna laughed and began working her magic.
when she was done she spun me around to the mirror ans I was shocked at the face that stared back.
I actually looked amazing. she had made my eyes pop with black eyeliner and mascara, then a nude coloured lipstick that complimented my skin tone and a hint of blush. she even managed to cover old bruising, and now you couldn't even tell it was there.
my hair was down cascading in longs curls.
"eek I love it!" I gushed
"anytime Amelia" she replied.
I walked carefully, never having experienced heels too much before, but soon enough I got the hang of it.
Ash was waiting and the bottom and his fave lit up when he saw me.
*Ashs P.O.V.*
I watched my Amelia walk down the stairs and she took my breath away.
I hadn't noticed it before with her baggy clothes, but she had a figure. I hear they say all the right curves in all the right places. her legs looked long and gorgeous and she was radiant.
"are you ready to go my love" I asked
"ready as I'll ever be" she replied
I led her to my black mustang and she happily climbed in, showing off those legs as she did so
I closed her door and got in the drivers seat.
"where are we going" she asked
"its a secret baby" I winked
