One of the men tossed a girl over his shoulder and carried her to the swing. Her eyes widened and she shook her head. ”No, please!” She screamed as her hands were locked in and her legs were forced into the confinement. I watched in fear as they strapped her in and placed a leather band around her face and pressed the gag ball into her mouth. ”No! I want to hear her.” The man said and removed the gag, ripping it from her head and tossing it on the floor with a wide smile. ”This is what you get for not doing as you’re told, you whore,” He said and tightened the straps. She screamed from the pain and as I looked closer at her wrists and ankles I could see the redness and the burning. The bands were laced with something. Her legs were spread apart and lifted in the air and the man positioned himself in front of her. The girl closed her eyes and I reached out my hand. ”Stop!” I said and ran over there. I pushed the man to the side and stood in front of her. ”You can’t,” I breathed
I slammed open the door and walked through the hallways with fast steps. My shoulders were lifted and I pushed past anyone standing in my way until they eventually jumped aside on their own. I found my parents in the dining hall along with the pack members. "Everybody out!” I growled. They all stood and hurried out with their heads hanging. My mother stood from her chair with a shocked expression and my father straightened his back in the chair. ”Son, what is-” ”You do not get to talk. You get to listen now.” I growled and walked up to them. I slammed my hands down on the table, trying to calm myself before I spoke. When I looked up at them I saw my mom’s hitched breath and my father slowly placed his glass down. ”No lies, no elaborate stories-only the truth.” They were silent. ”Do I have a sister?” They both choked on the air they breathed in. ”Anser me! Did you birth a daughter?” ”Yes,” my mother said and raised her head, sticking her chin out and narrowing her eyes. I
~Gabby’s POV~ I hated the tears that fell but they were valid. The men stepped away breathing harshly and seeming content with the pleasure they had forced from her. Erin hung in the swing, her head had fallen back and it was too heavy to hold up after two hours. Her arms and legs were slumped and she was just left there when they all got dressed and walked away. slapping each other's shoulders as to say 'Job well done'. They all deserved the worst imaginable punishment and I had a lot of ideas but they would just go on doing whatever they wanted. Forcing these girls to be their sex toys and enjoying their pain and suffering. Their screams egged them on I saw the joy in their eyes when a girl tried to fight them. Asher nuzzled his face into my neck and sniffed in my scent. ”Good girl,” he whispered as he tugged at my nipple. He tossed me aside on the couch and stood up. The others had gotten dressed and they pulled the girls out of the room one by one. ”You can't just leave h
We were closing in on Asher’s pack. A few of our warriors were skilled archers and lit the tip of their arrows on fire. On my go, they shot and set fire to the forest surrounding the pack. We watched as the flames grew higher and engulfed the trees and one by one the windows in the house lit up as well as the houses on the grounds. The men stepped out and looked around. I listened in and heard how they would all gather at the house and prepare to attack and so we moved in. My warriors were stretched out across the territory to make sure that nobody surprise us and we would meet back in front of Asher's house. A few of them would stay hidden for later and the archers would keep their distance for the entire fight and only jump in if they absolutely needed to. The door to the house was opened and I walked straight up into the yard. ”Brother.” They came out and gathered outside, keeping their distance at first. Asher stepped to the front and smiled. I could see in his eyes how bad
I brought the girls some food that I found in the kitchen and as many water bottles as I could find. The men were all busy outside so I took the opportunity to talk to them and let them sit for a while. Erin was standing by the window and I went over to hand her a sandwich.”You have to eat,” I said and looked out at the others. Asher was bleeding from his nose and the side of his face was starting to swell from the hits.Aiden had claw marks on his chest and his shirt was hanging in shreds.Nick looked agitated as his eyes went between the house and the fight. Edmund was of course waiting for his turn to jump in and start fighting but Noah, something was going on with him. He started tossing his head and looking around in confusion.”What’s happening to that guy?” Erin asked. ”That’s Noah, my brother and I have no idea why he’s doing that,” Noah was never not focused when it came to a fight but right now he looked distraught.”What are you doing?” I asked against the window. I look
My eyes began to glow as my wolf stepped forward.I ran down and started fighting his men as I made my way to my mate. Asher was about to throw another hit when Aiden grabbed his arm and bent it. He got back up at his feet with the blood pooling out of his wounds and teeth grinding together from the pain.Erin jumped down the stairs and started fighting as well. Though she didn't have her wolf, she was still very much a strong she-wolf and this strength of hers with her wolf being dormant only proved it. I killed two of Asher’s men and saw my brothers fighting others. Noah was still gone, he hadn't come back and I needed to find him. ”Go, we got this!” Nick shouted. I bowed my head and took off, running through the woods, and trying to sniff him out. I saw him deep in the woods about to walk out and I ran faster.”Noah!” I screamed and caught up to him. He turned around and looked into my eyes but the happiness I thought I'd see wasn't there. ”Who are you?” He asked and I pushed
Aiden who was sitting up slowly looked at her with an equally surprised expression and his father walked around the couch. The witch was still smiling from her seat at the table. Just as Aiden’s father was about to step closer, Marie reached out her hand and stopped him. ”It’s nice to meet you too, sweetheart. Welcome,” she said and left it there but her eyes didn't leave Erins.Erin smiled and nodded her head. Nick tried to grab her hand but she pulled it away and cupped them in front of her. His brows hunched down and he looked at me. ”Nick, come with me,” I said and grabbed his hand as we walked out of the house. ”You have to be careful with her and go slow. She has lost everyone she’s ever known and endured actual hell in Asher’s pack.” ”How can I help her?” ”You can’t, you can just help her help herself. By letting her sit with it and talk about it and just listen to her and her needs. Whatever they might be,” I said and felt my heart sink. I wanted my brother to be happy
I removed all other paintings and stared at the child's face and I knew that face because I saw her cry every time I looked in the mirror. The tears swelled in my eyes and a drop fell and hit the daisy that was painted in her tiny hand. ”What-” I breathed and turned around. Marie stood with her tear-stricken cheeks and smiled at me. She held something in her hands and as she walked closer I could see what it was. It was another pendant, the same as mine. ”When she was young, I got my daughter that pendant because I always called her my little-” ”-my little dove.” I said and stared at her. I felt the blood rush down my face. She grabbed the pendant around my neck and placed her close. Hers had a rose in its mouth and she clicked it into mine and they formed one necklace. Her breath hitched and she cupped my cheeks. ”We never gave you up…we never…we never gave you up.” She whispered. Without thinking or any hesitation I leaped forward and wrapped my arms around her. She sque
