Welcome Home Mate
Chapter 56

ROXIE

I was in darkness but didn't know how long I was out.

Something cold hits my body hard, which makes my body jolt awake.

I groan out and try to open my eyes, but everything hurts.

I blinked a few times, trying to get my eyes to open and focus.

After a few tries, my eyes opened. I adjusted to the surroundings, and it was dark wherever I was.

I looked around. I tried to move, but something was holding me in place. I tried to move, but whatever was on my wrists burned like a b***h. I hiss out in pain. "Finally, you're awake," someone shouted.

I glanced around, and my eyes landed on her.

Naomi.

I stared at her.

Naomi smiled.

"Ah, missed me, angel," she asked. "I know I've missed you."

I watched as she leaned against something.

My head was pounding.

"Bex," I called out.

There was no word, nothing from her.

"Your wolf is gone," Naomi says, which makes me look at her. A smile slowly spread across her face. "I didn't know what you were capable of till someone showed me a video." Naomi pushed off and stood in front of me.

"I was impressed," she said. Naomi walked over to a table. I kept my eyes on her. "I never thought little Roxie could do that, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to kill you." I stared at her.

"Why?" I asked with a croaky voice.

Naomi laughed and stopped before the table; she glanced over at me. "You know I should give you a lesson on me," she said as she picked up something shiny.

She turned around and held a knife. Naomi pointed it at me and smiled. "You know I never told anyone about my life," she said as she stepped closer. I kept my eyes on her. "Where to begin," she said as she stopped a few yards away from me. "You see, six years ago, I recently learned something about myself and felt I was on top of the world."

She took a step closer. "I mean, it is good news," she said. "I guess, for me anyway, you see, over the years, my mum was known as a traitor, but Alpha Frank made me feel like part of the pack, more than she ever made me feel like part of her family." Naomi stopped and stared at me. "My mum is what you call a slut," she said and frowned. "She never came from this pack; she was a member of another pack and was pregnant with me at the time, which she found out when she came here."

She moved to the side and carried on talking. "My mother never told me who my father was; she told me he would never accept me," she said with a frown as she glanced over to me and turned to face me. "My mother kept doing her own thing, and I was told to do whatever I wanted. So, I needed to have a target."

Naomi took a few steps and stopped in front of me with a smile. "That target was you," she said as she scraped the knife along my cheek. It burned as it touched my skin; it was laced with wolfsbane. I grit my teeth, not showing any pain. Naomi smirked. "Impressive," she said as she stepped back. "I like a challenge. I'm going to like this."

I stared at her. "What do you mean?" I asked.

Naomi stared at me and laughed. "You were so gullible back then," she said. "You wanted friends, and I ensured you never got any."

Naomi looked at me. "It was so simple," she said. "I remember watching you; you were so pathetic. I watched you like a hawk, and when I saw you were related to the soon-to-be Beta and Lex was over your house all the time, I wanted in."

Naomi stepped back and walked over to what seemed like bars. She turned and leaned on it, her eyes landing on me. "I knew I had to pretend to be your friend," she said. "I did what I wanted, and who too. I was happy, but I must admit I was a little taken back that our soon-to-be alpha had a thing for his best friend's sister."

I stared at her; the mere thought of Lex was triggering something inside me. I needed to keep calm.

"You know," she said, pulling me back from my thoughts. "He moaned your name out every time he was with me."

Her face changed, and she moved fast, ramming the knife into my thigh.

I screamed out.

There was no way I could hold that pain in. The pain was worse as she pulled the knife out.

"Do you know how it feels when the person you want is thinking about someone else," she grunts as her hand turns into a fist and punches me in the face. Naomi punched me twice more.

I groaned; the chains around my wrist rubbed against my skin, making my wrist bleed.

Naomi leaned in and stared at me, a slow smirk spreading across her face. "You know how I feel," she said. "You had to watch me with him all the time."

Naomi smirked. "I honestly thought you would have told your father or your brother about what I was doing to you," she said and looked at me blankly. "I mean, I was hurting their precious little girl."

I stared at her, but she carried on. "Anyway," she said. "Where was I? Oh yes, I never thought you would be mated to Lex; I thought I would be. I mean, we have so much in common."

She looked at me and c****d her head; the smirk appeared again. "I loved how you caught us," she said. "I mean, it was my best work. I overheard what Lex told you, that you needed to leave. I knew I had to leave a mark on you, so I knew what you loved the most and took them out of your bag when you went to the bathroom. I knew I didn't have much time; I could tell Lex was messed up and wanted to see you. I gave him a drink with something in it to help him calm down. I walked him to that study, and he was all over me. I never thought it would work, but it did, and when you came back in, it was the icing on the cake."

Naomi smiled.

"When you left, I thought I had my chance," she said, but her smile turned into a frown. "Well, until unforeseen circumstances came, and I was forced into hiding."

I looked at her, confused.

Naomi shook her head and looked back at me.

She cleared her throat. "Before I went into hiding," she said and walked over to me, staring at me. "I found out some information. I had a PI from a local town who helped werewolves who wanted to replace family members. Well, after the rogue attack that left your mum dead. I discovered my darling mother was behind it all and was killed for being behind it."

I stared at her, trying to wrap my head around what she said. Her mum was behind it all. What the actual hell?

I don't know if it was the wolfsbane she injected me with earlier, but my head started hurting.

Naomi looked at me and c****d her head to me. "I remember that attack," she said. "You were nine."

I stared at her.

She smirked. "Oh, I don't need to know what happened," she said. "There was a load of rumors floating around; I just made them all about you. It wasn't that difficult."

Naomi carried on looking at me and sighed. "Anyway," she said and walked back until her back hit the bars again. "The PI came back and gave me a name to my father, and I was surprised to learn that I was a daughter of an alpha."

I stared at her; my eyes shot up in shock.

Naomi laughed. "I know, right," she said. "I found out who my father was, Alpha Mac."

Naomi stared at me. "I went to see him, but I learned he was killed," she said, making her go blank. After a few seconds, she came back and looked at me. "I found out that I had a brother, an alpha. He met with me, and we began to talk about his father; he knew about my mother. She was his favorite out of all his women."

I stared, not knowing what to think.

Naomi's eyes bore into me, and she pushed off. "You want to know who my brother is," she asked.

I looked at her, but she smirked.

"That would be me," came a male voice from the side.

I looked over and stared at the man. He leaned on the wall as his eyes bore into mine.

The smug look on his face sent shivers flowing through me and not in a good way.

The way his touch made when he touched my hand when I met him.

Alpha Trevor, the one and only.

Alpha Trevor smiled. "Well, it's finally nice to officially meet you, my Luna," he said as he pushed off the wall and walked toward the bars. Naomi walked over and pulled open the door, leading into wherever they were holding me.

Alpha Trevor walked in and walked over to me. He stood in front of me and frowned. "Did you have to mark her like that?" he said, turning to Naomi. "I like her with no marks."

I stared at him.

"You have to hurt her," she said as she leaned back against the bars. "You need to break her."

Alpha Trevor stood in front of me and touched my face.

I moved back while making his grip on my face tighten. He leaned in. "Oh, such beauty," he said. "I can't wait for you to witness what I do to your pack."

He let me go and stepped back, racking his eyes over my body.

I wanted to throw up, but even that wasn't even good for him.

"Like my sister said," he started to talk as his eyes landed on mine. "We found each other, and we got talking."

Alpha Trevor stopped and c****d his head at me. "Alpha Lex and Alpha Dean have been a thorn in my side since I learned I was to take over from my father," he said. "They had everything. They had the beauty queens, while I got the pathetic weakling human as a mate." Alpha Trevor laughed. "When Naomi told me what she did to you and who she wanted, I knew I had to help," he said. "I was, in fact, her brother, and I wanted to help."

Somehow, I didn't believe what he said.

Alpha Trevor moved closer, but a ring rang off the phone.

I looked behind him, and Naomi looked at her phone. "I need to take this," she said, and turned to leave.

Oh great, I'm stuck with this fucker.

Once Naomi left, Alpha Trevor let out a sigh. "I have to be honest with you," he said. "I was impressed with the way you fight."

I stared at him.

"Naomi asked me to keep an eye on you, and I have to admit, I was intrigued to learn more about you," he said. "I had someone watching all the time, and when I learned you were becoming an ultimate fighter, I was even more impressed."

My mind was racking over everything he was saying. Who the hell was watching me train?

Alpha Trevor gave me a knowing look and smirked. "I have to admit," he said. "I was surprised to have someone in Alpha Gareth's pack for so long until she revealed that she had true feelings toward you."

My heart raced. No, she wouldn't.

Realization clearly written all over my face, Alpha Trevor laughed. "I have to admit, I was turned on by that kiss you and Ana had," he said as he grabbed his c**k. "Thinking about it now is getting me hard."

I closed my eyes, willing for Bex to come back.

"When Ana left, I knew I had to tread carefully," he said, which made me open my eyes as I looked back at him. "I left you alone after that. I had to start making arrangements for getting more of what my sister wanted, so I decided to have some fun and realized that I wanted more land and everything that Alpha Dean and Alpha Lex had."

I stared at him, looking slightly confused.

Alpha Trevor stepped back and pulled a chair resting against the wall. He sat down in front of me. "That confused look will soon clear," he said. "My father was a despicable man and ruthless as he came. He killed my mum because she wouldn't change into a werewolf and produce more heirs. My father thought sleeping with other women would help him, but it never did. Naomi is the only other child he has, and when he learned he was having a girl, he kicked her mother out."

Alpha Trevor sighed. "I watched him manipulate every woman he was with, making them fulfill his every desire," he said. "He told them he would place them in packs, and every one of them had to come back with information about the packs they were in. Naomi's mum was sent to your pack and another too, I believe."

"Every woman did their jobs," he said, and a frown appeared. "That was until we got fed false information and the alphas found out. My father was sent to the elders and never to return again."

I stared at him. I was surprised to hear that the Elders were involved. They must have killed his father.

"They will do the same to you," I whispered.

Alpha Trevor looked at me and smirked. "Well, I don't think so," he said as he stood up. "You see, I did everything my father did. I placed women in packs and found more information about every pack. The only different thing is, I have an army of wolves at my disposal."

He came closer to me and stopped. "You see, my pack members are loyal to me," he said, "well, most are; I had to persuade some with force to help me. But rogues, on the other hand, hate packs as much as I do."

He placed his thumb and finger on my chin, making me look at him. "You see, sweetheart," he said as he leaned closer. "I want you and all that Alpha Lex has," he said. "I can easily take everything from Alpha Dean as he will follow him as they are close." Alpha Trevor looked at me and smiled. "I have over three thousand wolves at the ready, and they will attack that pack and kill everyone who possesses a threat to me," he said. "I will be the true alpha and have you by my side."

I let a low growl which made Alpha Trevor laugh out loud.

He was about to say something else when we heard a loud scream. "NO," shouted Naomi.

I stared at where she had left, but Alpha Trevor laughed again. "It seems my sister heard some bad news," he said, which made me turn to him.

"You are going to suffer dearly, sweetheart," he said as he turned toward the gate as Naomi ran toward him.

She was clearly pissed.

Alpha Trevor opens the gate to her, and she storms in. "That stupid prick announced that the b***h is his mate," she roared.

I looked at her, surprised. I knew we would announce that we were mates, but I thought he would have waited for me to be there.

Alpha Trevor laughed. "Silly fool," he said after he calmed down.

He looked over at me. "I will be bringing you his head as a gift," he said as he left, but he turned to Naomi. "Have some fun," he said. "Make sure you don't leave too many scars." Alpha Trevor winked at me.

Naomi stormed up to me and grabbed my head from the back. "I'm going to make you suffer," she said, letting me go. She walked over to the table and grabbed something.

Once, she picked whatever she wanted to hurt me with and came back.

"If Lex doesn't want me," she said, "I will make sure he won't have you."

That was her last word; as she swung what looked like a crowbar, she picked it up and repeatedly hit me with it.

I screamed out in pain, but after a few rounds with her foul mood, I passed out due to the pain.

I drew back within myself, praying Bex was there.

But there was still no sign of her; I was alone.
