Amilia POV

"I Mikael Carter reject you Amilia Goodwin as my mate!" He spat out and left like I didn't matter to him.

"Amilia! What is going on?!" Daddy asked when he ran into my room. I looked at my daddy as I felt lightheaded and felt like I was going to faint and my heart felt like it was being ripped out of my chest and I felt my body heating up, like a fire within which makes sense given who I am.

"Daddy, he...he almost cut me and choked me, and he tried to kill me." I said and my voice was raspy and I fell to the ground as I was trying to get out of bed and daddy ran to my side as I felt I was going to pass out.

"Who baby, who hurt you?" Daddy wasn't home when my mate and I came to the house after we met in a café, I wanted to talk things out with him.

I met him years ago and he of course knew who I was, everyone does. I found out he was my mate the day I turned sixteen and told him soon after so I met with him because I was tired of hurting, tired of feeling the pain of him screwing other people and wanted to tell him to either accept me or reject me.

He said he accepted me and as we were almost about to mate, he got something from his pocket from his pants that were on the floor and I thought it was a condom but no, I didn't pay attention to what he grabbed until I felt the cold blade of the knife at my breasts and he almost cut me and I tried to scream to get someone, anyone and he looked horrified at me and he got off the bed, went out the window.

Daddy picked me up and laid me on my bed and papa (Ethan) ran to my bathroom and got a glass of water and a cool rag for my throat. Daddy had me naked in no time and gasped when he saw what happened. I know I had hand prints around my throat and bruises on my body from his knees and arms holding me down.

"Oh Amilia." Daddy sobbed and took my hand in his. Dad (Zac) took the rag and placed it on my throbbing throat and the coldness felt good.

The next thing I know, Ronnie is in my room and gave me something to knock me out which I was grateful for, it took the pain away temporarily.

I woke up and I was dressed in a t-shirt and I was covered. I didn't feel any pain though so the medication I was given was working it seemed but the pain of the rejection is still so fresh and I felt weak.

"Did you catch the bastard who dared hurt my daughter?" Daddy was fuming, I could feel his anger from down the hall.

"Yes Beta Kody, he is in the cells." The warrior, Mark said to daddy.

"Good, don't let Amilia know where I went. I will personally deal with the sick son of a bitch." Daddy growled and I heard his footsteps descend down the stairs.

"Princess Amilia, how are you feeling?" My dork of a brother, Corey asked when he came into my room with a tray of food. I rolled my eyes and smiled at him.

"Not so good, the pain is unbearable. How's things going out there?" I said and asked and he put the tray over my legs and sat beside me.

"Well daddy is a little a lot pissed off, even papa couldn't calm him down. He went to the cells where the guy is. Who is he Amilia?" He asked and I wanted to keep it secret, I didn't want anyone to know the freak met her mate and he rejected her.

"Amilia, tell me who he is." Corey begged and I sighed and took his hand and let him into my mind to the day I knew Mikael was my mate up until today.

"He's your mate?!" He screeched and I put my hand over his mouth.

"Yes, shut up big mouth!" I whisper shouted at him.

"Why didn't you tell anyone? Amilia you could have told me, I am your best friend you know." He said and he looked hurt.

"I'm sorry I haven't told you bro. I didn't know if you would be like everyone else and just think I was looking for attention." I felt horrible for how I made him feel. Corey has always been by my side but there are things I never told him, like getting bullied in school. Kids made sure he wasn't around because they knew he would put them in their place. He may be an Omega but he doesn't back down, just like dad.

"I could never think that about you sis. I'm sorry you felt you couldn't tell me. Is there anything else that I don't know?" He asked and I took a bite of the broccoli cheddar soup that I know he made, he loves to cook.

"There's lots but now isn't the time." I decided to be honest. I know I can trust him, it's myself I don't trust.

Once I get angry, I can't control my animal, my Phoenix Fierce is their name, no gender either, undecided just like me.

I have no idea why I am blessed with such a beautiful creature when I'm ugly and not even considered a woman or a man. I'm nothing and all my life I was shown I'm nothing, from everyone except my dad's and siblings. The pack even treats me like I'm a freak, like I'm worthless.

"I'll be here when you're ready to talk." He said and I finished my soup as he sat beside me and we watched TV while I ate. My mind wandered to what daddy was doing since I can't feel anything happening to Mikael which I had hoped he would have killed the bastard for trying to kill me.

It seems I'm not that lucky.
