Un fated Mate

One 

                                               ~Adriana 

I lay on the cold tiles, hugging my legs and muffling my sobs. My stomach and face throb from the kick I had just received earlier. My head hurts and I'm sure I've broken one of my ribs.

“Come down hear you insolent child.” My mother roared from the kitchen.  my younger brother tried stopping her from yelling

I had broken a Silver plate when I was doing the dishes, it wasn't intentional, I was so caught up with schoolwork that it kept running through my head and I didn't know when the plate slipped.

“It was a mistake, everyone makes mistakes.” He said but she turned deaf ears.

“She's just a worthless child and has destroyed everything in this house” Mom continued but I stayed put. 

Rayn kept pleading with her to stop the abuse but she didn't stop.  I kept sobbing quietly

All of a sudden it all got quiet. I peeped my head out to see where they were only to be met with something hard, slapping me across my cheeks.

The next morning, I prepared for school. I had my final exams and was very happy to be graduating soon,  which means I'll be leaving my family and packing. Stepping into the school gates, I pulled up my hoodie to cover my scarred face.

“Adriana?” I heard a familiar voice called out. Kenzie, my one and only friend who ever stood up for me. She bid her friends goodbye and walked up to me as soon as she spotted me.

“Hey, where are you going, the exam hall is that way” she pointed at the hall.

“Uh.. I just wanted to use the restroom. I get nervous when it comes to exams and you know, my bladder doesn't like it” I nervously laughed, it was a lie but I pray she bought it.

“Adriana, I know you and I know when you're lying. Right Now, your lies are embarrassing” she said dramatically

“Don't be such a diva..” I said

“Guess what? I've finally found my mate” she squealed and  turned to stare 

“Really, where is he? Who is he?” I said raising my head that has been bent ever since our conversation started, and my hoodie falling to my shoulder.

“I knew it! Who did this to you?” She exclaimed worriedly, examining my face with her hands

Ouch..

“Mom did this? I'm fine. I'm already used to it. So where's he?” My eyes glittered like a child on Christmas day.

“Sadly, I haven't found him but my wolf tells me soon, he'll be ours,” she said with confidence making us both laugh.

“I heard what Sam did.  I am so sorry” she said

“He was a jerk for publicly rejecting you and for judging you by your past” 

“Well what can I say, they all die or reject me, I guess he has the right to leave,” I said sadly as tears started welling up in my eyes but I blinked to send it back in.
