Virginia POV
"MOM!" I scream as I am staring at the car that is engulfed in flames in horror. I try to run to it but I am being held in place by heavy chains and all I can do is to watch as I stop hearing her screams! Just as I am about to blackout from the trauma of having to watch my mom burning to death trapped in a car I am jerked awake by something connecting, hard to my jaw! I jolt up into a sitting position on my bed. I look around slowly while I hold my jaw. I freeze when I see my abuser staning a little too close to my bed. He is clencning and unclenching his left hand as I see bruises begin to shadow his knuckles from the contact it made to my jaw.
I manage to work out the soreness in my jaw by flexing it from side to side. "What can I do for you this morning, Neil?" I ask calmly, by now I know the drill. I need to not piss him off, which has become increasingly more difficult lately. It seems that anything will set him off and I am the one that will be on the recieving end of his aggression.
"You know what you can do for me." He states with barely controlled anger.
I finally meet his eyes and for fear consumes me with the level of barely controlled rage I see in those hazel eyes. "N-No...I...I don't...k-know!" I stutter out. Whatever is going on with him this morning isn't going to be good for me!
The flame just increases in his eyes as he slides his gaze, slowly over my body sending shivers down my spine as my body steels itself for the beating it's about to recieve. I see recognition cross his face at my body's natural reaction. He takes a step towards me and before I can register what is happening his hand shoots out and he grabs a handful of my hair and yanks me out of bed and onto the floor in front of him.
"You are going to do everything that I say, if you don't I will give you a beating like you have nerver had! Nod your head if you understand what I am saying to you!"
I swallow the lump in my throat as I feel tears sting my eyes. I feel his grip tighten and the pain is so unbearable that I yelp in pain. I slowly nod that I understand.
"Thats a good girl, now pull down my pants and boxers." His voice thick with anticipation.
My hands trembled as I grabbed the top of his jeans and boxers. I closed my eyes as I pulled down adn areleased his jeans once they reached the floor.
"Now open your eyes and then you are going to grip my cock with your hands and stroke me until I am hardened." His deep voice reverberated through out the room.
I slowly opened my eyes and hesitated briefly before grabbing him. I was trying my best to keep the bile down so my punishment wasn't worse than it is now. I stared at the floor as my hands moved almost mechanically along his cock. I choked back a sob as I feel him harden beneith my hands.
"Look at me!" He growled out.
Tears were streaming down my face when I looked at h im. "Please c-can I-I stop...n-now?" I practically begged him.
He just smiled down at me. "Why would I let you stop when you are being such a good little slut?" He closed his eyes as he groaned in pleasure. After a few moments he looked back at me. "Now I want to feel your mouth on my cock, but if you bite me I will snap all of you teeth out of you mouth!"
I'm full on sobbing by this point. I close my eyes as he shoves my head towards his cock. I don't open my mouth for fear of vomiting on him. I feel his other hand grip my chin hard, forcing my mouth open due to the pain of his grip. He then takes that opportunity to shove his cock deep into my mouth. I involuntarily gag at the intrusion. His grip in my hair tightens even more.
"If you throw up on me I just might have to do more drastic things to you until you lose the reflex to gag!"
I am completely frozen by fear now and I will my mind to detach from what is happening and all I can think about is the happy times I had with my mom and how loved I felt. By the time I came back to reality Neil was just finishing in my mouth and foroced me to swallow all of his seed.
"You are definately better than your mother was! You are a treasure that I plan on keeping ALL to myself!" Neil spoke as he caressed my cheek. He then pushed me away from him so hard that my head connected to the floor with a loud thud. Pain shot through me adn small spots adorned my vision. The nausea came back and I barely had time to roll over before I threw up everywhere.
"Now look what you did." Neil tsked. "Get yourself cleaned up and I will be up with your dress. After all you only graduate from High School once in your life and my little treasure must look her best." He said as he pulled his pants back up and zipped them. He threw me another look over his shoulder and licked his lips as he looked at me on my hands and knees on the floor. He paused momentarily before finally leaving my room and slamming the door behind him. I cumpled to the floor in a sobbing mess. My brain still could not comprehend what just happened! I mean its not the first time Neil has abused me but it was the first time that he has done anything sexual to me!
I take a few calming breaths and slowly stand up and head towards the bathroom. I shut and lock the door before I take my clothes off and step into the shower. I just stand under the running water and try to wash away the disgust I have with myself for beind so weak! I reach up and turn the temperature up to the point that the water is scalding my skin, hoping to burn off his touch. Nothing seems to help so I finish washing up and get out of the shower stall to dry off.
I wrap the towel around me and head towards the door. I grab the handle and pause trying to get my nerves under control. I can't let Neil know how he effects me. I take a coupld deep calming breaths and open the door expecting to find Neil in my bedroom but I am shocked to find a black box sittign on my bed and Neil nowhere to be found.
I cautiously approached the bed and eyed the box. There is a card on top so I open it and what is written on it has my hands trembling.
-GINNY-
WHEN I SAW THIS DRESS I THOUGHT OF
YOU AND HOW DELICIOUS YOU ARE GOING
TO LOOK IN IT!
-N-
My hand covers my mouth as I drop the card down on the bed. I don't open the box yet, afraid of what I am going to find. After about 10 minutes of just staring at the box I finally open it. I pull out a cocktail dress with thin spaghetti straps. The fabric is Chiffon and the color reminds me of the night sky when there is a full moon! It's absolutely beautiful but also very revealing. My fingers barely caress the material before I am paralized with the realization that I won't be able to wear a bra with this dress! I have no strapless bras and I don't know what I am going to do. I pull the dress completely out of the box and find a black strapless bra laying in the bottom of the box.
I grab it and see that the bra is my exact size! How did Neil know my size? I know that he has never shopped with me when I bought my under things and I have never told him, I do all of myown laundry when he is not home. The only way for him to know is if he came into my room and rummaged through my clothes! That thought alone had me quickly scanning the room looking for anything out of place. After noticing nothing out of place i decide that I need to get dressed before I am late to my own graduation.
I put light make up on and keep my long curls down and grab a pair of black flats adn once I am sure that I am ready to face the day I head downstairs. I am met with Neil's heated gaze. I refrain from meeting his gaze and try not to shudder as I stand there in the entry way. I reach foor my jacket but Neil grabs it before my hands can get to it. He opens it and holds it up for me, waiting for me to come to him.
I hold my breath as I walk towards him and turn so he is facing my back as I put my arms into the sleeves. He lets his hands linger on my shoulders a little too long. I can feel his body coming closer to me and I can feel his breath on my cheeck as he speaks into my ear. "I knew that you would look beautiful in this dress!" He begins to kiss down my neck and onto my shoulder before he speaks again. "You are making it verry difficult for me to control myself, my little vixen!"
I bite my tongue to keep from saying something that I will get punished for. I slowly step away from his touch and head for the door. "I don't want to be late for graduation."
He narrows his eyes at me but doesn't say anything and grabs his keys. He has refused to allow me to get a vehicle even though mom let me gat my license before she died. He hasn't allowed me to have any of the money from her life insurance but he is also not aware that mom put some money into an account for me that I can't access until I have turned eighteen and graduated his school.
Once I have my diploma in my hands I plan on escaping and starting a new life some where far far away! I just had to survive another month in this house that I once called home, but has since became my prison!
Braxton POVI woke up this morning feeling a bit anxious but couldn't figure out why. Jackson, what's with all the pacing? You are not helping my nerves at the moment. Jackson just grumbled and blocked the link. I was confused by his behavior but pushed it aside as I hopped in the shower. My beta and gamma were meeting me in my office in about an hour to go over the new trainees we have to place. Then we need to discuss my little side project that I hope will help increase the profit for the pack. For the past couple of years my pack, The Shimmering Falls Pack, has been thriving under my rule as Alpha. They make me a very proud Alpha and I'm hoping that with my side project it will help all of the soon to be warriors get in shape.I shower and head down to breakfast, Doris has been the pack cook for many years, she is almost like a nana to me. I walk aroudn the corner to see her just putting
Braxton POV Rollings and Christian quickly came to my side as I stood from the table to face my fathers worl. "How dare I? How dare you AND mother! You are NOT the Alpha anymore and yet you both still think that you can make decisions for ME!" I boomed, Jackson was pushing his way to the front and I let him just a little so that I still had enough control to reign him in if the need should arise. My father was shaking with fury. "You were told that you HAD to find a mate by your twentieth birthday or forfeit the title!" I stepped closer to him and saw that my mother quickly came up behind her mate to help calm his temper. I stared at him in the eyes, showing him that I will not bow down. "I NEVER agreed to any such deal! I would never settle for any woman that is not MY MATE!" I looked to Alpha Roger before I continued. "Alpha Roger if you wish to make an alliance with Shimmering Fal
Virginia POV I always thought that my mom would be here for my graduation day but fate had another plan that left my life in hell! I can't help but think about how things have changed in my life as I wait for my name to be called to receive my diploma. Had my mother not died I wouldn't be living in fear of my step-dad on a daily basis. I just really miss her, she has always been my rock and now I have no one but myself to lean on. I am brought back to reality when I hear my friends names being called. I smile at knowing that they are my besties but guilt creeps in at the knowledge that none of them know that things have gotten worse with Neil. I don't like keeping things from them but I know that if they found out Neil will take it out on me and I know for a fact that nothing will be done to him. I learned that lesson the hard way. I want to tell them about what happened to me this morning but I can't mostly beca
Virginia POV I can't help but hug her, Devon and her have been together since junior year. He was really good to her and I could feel sadness in my heart knowing that I will never have anybody or that kind of love. I mean what guy would want to be with someone with so much baggage and is ultimately broken? "Mandy, I am so happy for you and Devon!" She smiles and tucks her hair behind he left hear and that is when I see the ring! I am staring at her, shocked. She sees me and blushes and Chey and Paulette notice what I am gaping at. "BITCH!" Chey yells and yanks Many's left hand across the table. "How could you NOT tell us? When did he pop the question? When is the wedding? Who is the Maid-of-Honor?" Paulette just smiles and congratulates Mandy. I notice sadness cross her face briefly. I make a mental not to ask about that later. Mandy giggles at Chey. "
Christian POVI can finally get a good look at the mystery girl. She is about 5'8", long red curly hair, blue/grey eyes. She has a very thin body but no doubt that it she filled out a little she would have a knock out body! She is gorgeous to say the least. When our eyes meet I feel this warm flutter in my belly. I smirk at the way she is eyeing me. "Are you done checking me out?"She quickly looks away and looks at the floor. "Sorry."She looked so adorable acting all shy and all. I see that she is bout to leave and I can't figure it out but I just have this urge to get to know her better. "Don't be, I like it when a gorgeous woman checks me out!" I can't help but flash her a smile. I can tell that she is hiding something that is causing her pain but all I really want is to see what she looks like when she smiles.When she returned the smile. I get the breath knocked out of m

Rae POVI was momentarily frozen by fear at the sight of Neil in front of me. Tha uneasy feeling intensified tenfold. There was this little voice in th ebck of my head warning me that I should run. Of course I didn't listen becuase I knew what would happen the moment he caught me! He ALWAYS caught me, there seemed to be nowhere in Helio that I could hide which is why I needed to move to another town or tate out of his reach."Ginny I think that its time we head home...don't you?" Neil feigned concern for the sake of my friends.I saw right through his act though. I wanted to tell him no but all my friends were staring at me and they were unaware that they were in immediate danger! So I did the only thing that I could, I nodded in agreement. "Yes Neil, I will go home."He grasped my left elbow. "Thats my good girl." He whispered into my ear as he pulled me to his truck.
Braxton POV I have been sitting iin my office since I saw my Gamma adn warriors off to escort Alpha Kentwood and his daughter back to the Golden Sun Pack territory. I made sure that Christian understood that he was to keep my Beta and myself updated on anything that happened on his way there. My wolf and I couldn't wait for Tammy to leave our territory!

I was genuinely curious. He has to dal with her crazy ass all the time! I couldn't help but laugh at his comment. I was feeling quite good as my Beta and best friend knocked on my office door. "Enter." "Alpha." He bowed in respect. "Do you have news from Christian?" I ask as he sits op
Christian's POVI was down by the back door to the pack house soon after I messaged Rollings about the little situation we had. "Everyone ready? I don't want to be out all night so lets get this over wiht so we can inform Alpha Kentwood on all the things that will undoubtadly need to be fixed." I say as I look around to make sure that I had those individuals that I requested."Yes, Gamma, we are ready!" A young man says."Alright gentlemen, lets get to it!" We all stripped and shifted. I howled then took off to lead the run around the territory. It had only taken about 15 minutes due to the area being so small. We arrived back at the pack house and shifted then dressed. I was already making a mental list of all the things that needed to be fixed or initiated when I felt a stabbing pain inside my chest. Some thing was happening, something very bad! Duece, do you know what is happe
