4. Unclaimed

Andrea POV

Where am I!

I groaned grabbing my head.

If the throbbing doesn't kill me the shock of my state will.

I was in bed-naked!

I was starting to panic.

Until I felt a strong arm holding me.

What have I done!

I no longer had my virginity.

I was saving myself for my mate who at the time I thought was Darrin.

We wanted to wait until he became alpha for him to claim me and now here I am.

I tried very hard to wiggle my way out but this guys grip wasn't letting me budge.

That and I felt like I was sore from my neck to my toes.

I felt violated and was on the verge of tears when I heard the ding from my fone.

NESSI!

I took the pillow from under my head and started to wedge it under me lifting the mans arm just high enough I could slide off the bed.

Once I was completely on the floor I managed to grab all my clothes.

Except for my underware.

Great!

It gave me a chance to look around.

I couldn't see the face of who was still asleep but I did get a look at a tattoo on his left hip 'with great power comes great responsibility' I couldn't help the smile that grew on my face.

Well at least he has a sense of humor I thought.

And that's when I saw my red lacy vickies.

Tucked under the pillow of my unknown bed buddy.

Now how to do this without waking him up.

'NESSI! I need your help!!!' Was all I could think to send.

'Send me a pin. I'll bring the duct tape and gloves. Do we need a shower curtain or can we make it look like an accident!'

Good gosh this girl!

I love her but sometimes I think she never snaps out of Beta mode.

'Thanks but that's not what I mean! I sent u a pin can u come get me. I'll explain when u get here, and please hurry!'

While I was waiting I tried to get everything I could find that I had with me.

I was mentally beating myself.

'If I am to make it out of here alive I can not wake the man who I choose to go home with.'

'Of all nights to get pushed over the edge, why did I have to go home with someone.'

'Desperate to get my mind off the fact my boyfriend of 3 years just dumped me after graduation. So here I am. Trying to pull my panties out from under Jacob? Jackson? Crap. If there was ever a story to judge me it's this one.'

I wanted to cry.

I wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out.

I was too busy in my own head I didn't realize Nessi was blowing up my phone.

' Andrea Fray, if u don't come down I'm leaving' a text flashed on my phone.

Great my best friend was leaving me to walk or hail a cab.

Who needs underware, right.

'On my way!'

Nessi was smiling with the radio blasting, singing along, not caring that people passing by were watching.

Then she saw my face and all that vanished.

She jumped across the passenger seat and darted out the door.

Seeing her made the dam that held back my emotions break.

Flooding me with everything I was holding back but most of all loosing the one connection my mate will never get to have.

The connection that was suppose to bind us, and I threw it all away.

"What happened?" She asked.

When I didn't respond she started shaking me trying to get me to say something-anything.

But I couldn't, not here.

Not exposed, with strangers watching and listening.

"Let's just go!" Was all I mustered.

"What floor were you on?" She asked as she went to the trunk of her car

"I don't remember I just started running down the stairs, why?" I asked

"Oh not much I just wanted to narrow my kill list" she said swinging a bat over her shoulder.

Tonight was not the night I didn't want to have to call our parents to bail us out of jail.

"Ness I'm begging you. Can we just go home?!" It usually took a lot to defuse her but I guess my face said it all.

I didn't wait for her to answer me, I just opened the passenger door and tried to get in without giving away just how much pain I was in.

Then she asked what I dreaded to answer.

"Did u sleep with someone?" A worried look never leaving her face as she hopped in the driver seat.

How could I tell her, I wasn't fully understanding how I could have done this as well.

Soon she drove in the direction of our apartment.

I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream.

But all I could say was "yes, I did."

As she drove I spilled everything!

Not once did she stop me at anytime.

From the number of drinks, and the dancing.

And how the last thing I remember was her telling me she was leaving.

Then loosing my virginity and waking up next to someone.

Then I told her I didn't even know who the guy was or his name.

"I know his name!" Was all she told me and my jaw dropped.

"You have to tell me" I blurted out.

"It was Beta Jason of the Echo Moon Pack, I told you I was going next door to grab a bite. That's when he said he could drop us off and I told u not to leave without me since I was also a little too tipsy. how could u not remember? You were speaking fine, but I was starving and I tried to be quick…."

I really didn't pay much attention after she said Beta Jason.

That was his name.

I knew it started with a 'J'.

Well beta Jason for both our sakes I hope our paths never cross again.

Unknown POV

Everything slowly started coming to light.

I could feel myself gaining control from Ryker.

I heard the sound of running water-no a waterfall.

he sound of the wind and the swaying of trees, a tussle between squirrels, and me!

My bones breaking and realigning, Ryker was giving me back control.

I was beyond pissed off, I was angry.

I wanted to know just what he did to make us both loose control.

"What did you do? Where are we? Where is our mate?!" I demanded from him.

But I got nothing, I felt him, his pain.

He was retreating to the farthest depths of my mind.

And there it was, unbearable pain coming from him, almost like he was rejecting me as his parabond. He was whining-not injured whining but broken.

Like he had nothing, no fight left in him, his heart was shattered and I didn't understand why.

Then it hit me.

'I mated and marked her, your mate is mine' the words from Beta Jason.

I wanted to rip him apart for touching what is mine, and then put him together to rip him apart again. He cannot live after what he has done.

Telling me my mate allowed him to claim and mark her, of course everything from his mouth is a lie, but I needed to know the truth.

A lowly growl came from Ryker and then nothing.

Could this be why he was hurt, did he really mate and mark what is mine-ours.

I hardly believe my mate would do such a thing and of course I didn't believe Jason for a second, but there was a tiny doubt in the back of my mind coming from Ryker.

I looked around in every direction trying to find my bearing.

I must be in southern Canada.

It seemed like just minutes ago I was in Atlantic City, and now I have to find my way back to my mate.

"My mate" i shouted.

She probably thinks I left after finding her.

That I decided not to claim her or tie our fates.

What she must think of me.

I'm on my way my love, know that this time I'm not letting you out of my sight.
