"So, that's where you were…" I said quietly, looking at the only person I could call a friend. Alex had gone to do some homework a few minutes ago and now I was left alone with Bartholomé. I knew, what a strange name, but his parents were big fan of Bartolomeu Dias, the first European to sailed around the southernmost tip of Africa in 1488 to find a way to the Indian Ocean, so they decided to name him that, while knowing that he would be laugh at by other. His parents weren't exactly the nicest person. Contrary to mine, his were part of my ex shitty pack and were really proud of this fact. So, when they discovered that their son was an omega, they went in denial and treated him like an Alpha. They were extremely demanding and didn't let him play with others, it was only studying, studying and more studying and that was when he was six years old that everything went downhill.

They had another son, but this one was a real Alpha. They immediately started to ignore him and only cared about the newborn. It started with no greetings, then with no glances, no care about his grades, no clothes and finally no food. The poor kid was starving, and no one cared. I didn't know what was worse, being abused or being treated as if you didn't even exist?

Anyways, because his parents didn't care about him anymore the pack decided to use him as a slave too, so he joined me in my daily beatings and chores. He was a very quiet kid who just wanted love and he looked like a puppy that got kicked too many times. He had dark hair, with a sun kissed skin and eyes that were big and always watery which made him look as if he was always going to cry. He was skinny and his hair were wavy and fluffy, if I were into cute guys, I would definitely go for him.

I was brought back to reality by a whine and look at Bart as he clutched his stomach with a pain filled expression. I immediately approached him, put my hand on his back and asked him what was wrong.

"I'm pregnant. My mate was in our old pack and when he discovered that I was his mate, he raped me and now I'm pregnant. He rejected me after, and I decided to run so I somehow end up here. Sometimes it hurts like now because I'm not near my mate." He explained to me after the pain mitigated. He still looked pale, as pale as you can look with a dark skin, but he was better. I just couldn't believe that someone could do that to sweet small Bartholomé. He was so small and adorable! Just like a puppy! I was so going to beat up this guy whoever he was.

"Don't worry Bart, you are going to have a second mate, I'm sure of it" I said while patting his back and looking at him right in the eyes. Everyone got to have a second mate if the first one die or reject them. I was sure that the Moon Goddess wouldn't let Bart without a mate, much least while he was pregnant. She was a real bitch sometimes, but she could do her works just right when she needed to.

"Thanks" He said with a small smile, but I could still see the pain and disgust toward himself in his eyes. It broke my heart to see a usual optimist person being so sad and having given up in life.

I was so going to cut the fucker's reproductive organs.
