This was the first time I wrote a scene such as this into one of my books. I have danced around them before or mentioned them having happened in the past, but never have I written a rape scene. As a survivor myself, it is tough to write, yet oddly cathartic. If you yourself ever experience such a thing, please remember it is not your fault. this scene makes it extra difficult to imagine Ace ever being redeemable, but we will see if he is.
Ace I didn’t mean to mark Kaiya, but something came over me right before my headache struck me. I pulled out of her and admired her delicious form before leaving her cell and coming back here to wash myself off. I had intended to tighten the belt around her throat if she tried to fight me off, but her body never did, only her words even sounded like an objection, but I know she enjoyed it. I shouldn't be so surprised she was still a virgin, but with her looks and perfect body, I am surprised others haven’t tried making her theirs. However she always was a good girl…what am I thinking? I need my medications! This headache is driving me to weird thoughts. I’m toweling myself off and searching for my medicine when Dylan mindlinks me. ‘Brother, meet me in your office! Now!’ ‘Let me get dressed! I just showered,’ I reply, suspicious of his timing. He couldn’t know about what I’ve done already, could he? I quickly dry off and get dressed, opting for a styling product to tame my hair
Dylan I stare at Ace before answering my phone and walking out of his office as flustered as I have been in a while. How come he never told me about mom’s journals before? “Yeah, Dad. What is it?” I ask. “Can you come over? You wanted to talk and I don’t know how much I feel like revealing, but I can tell you a few things you might want to know,” my father sighs into the phone. “I’ll be right there,” I reply as I unlock my office and place the journals into my desk drawer along with their keys. ‘I really hope whatever he has to tell me is helpful,’ I say to Tam, who has stepped forward in my mind space but remains quiet.I pull up in front of my father’s townhouse before long and rush up the front steps to his door. I knock twice and open the door, as is our usual ritual. “I’m in my office,” my father calls out and I head into the room I already suspected he would be in.His back is to me and he is looking out the window, but he speaks to me as I enter and take a seat.“There ar
Dylan I was sitting in my office pondering the possibility of the moon goddess messing with us be pairing us with our half sister when I suddenly got a call from Ross. “Alpha Dylan, I know you relate to Kaiya differently than your brother, so I am calling you because I am a little worried,” Ross said. “She hasn’t eaten or drank anything nor has she spoken in over four hours.You know that is a feat for her.” “She hasn’t said anything? Not one word?” I asked, getting nervous. Kaiya always has a perfect comeback. “Not a word nor any sound,” Ross replied. “It’s worrisome.” “Do not call my brother! I’m coming!” I instructed before storming out of my office and that brings us to where I am now with this interaction replaying in my mind and the near certainty the Ace did something horrific to our mate. I am fuming before I even reach her cell, but seeing the state Kaiya is in breaks my heart. Her eyes are completely unfocused as she stares blankly ahead, though I can see dried tear trac
Kaiya Everything is dark here. I feel as if I have walked for miles with no direction or understanding of where I am. Finally I see a light and I approach it. It takes so long, I fear I will never reach it, then I see it come into focus. It isn’t a light but a sleeping wolf. She is silver with a red mark on her forehead. I try to go to her, feeling drawn there, but can’t get past an invisible barrier. I circle the space, trying to find a way through the barrier to her. I sink to my knees in desperation when I find none. This is my wolf! I know it, but something is keeping us apart. I stay here, by the barrier for a long time, but then something warm and wet comes into contact with my flesh. A soothing voice coos to me, “I have you, you are safe with me. Just let me clean you up and I will find you something cozy to wear.” My eyes flutter open and I start…No! Ace does not have me in his suite! Please tell me Ace didn’t take me to his suite where no one else will know I am there! P
Ace “WHAT DO YOU MEAN DYLAN TOOK HER FROM HERE!?” I shout at the trembling guard. “Umm…he is also Alpha and…I have no authority to stop him,” the very young security guard says with difficulty.If I were more like my brother I would reel in my Alpha aura. If I were more like my brother, this man wouldn’t know my emotional state.I look around me and no one dares to meet my eyes. Traitors! The lot of them! They are all traitors!FUCK! By now he realizes I marked her against her will and probably knows what else I did! I wish we saw this the same way, but he has been taken in by her lies!I storm out of the dungeons and stalk off to the training field. I need to blow off steam! No! Training is not going to do the trick! I need to really blow off steam! ‘Tiffany!’ I mindlink Rebecca’s best friend.‘Yes, Alpha?’ Her seductively sweet, breathy voice comes back at me through the link.‘Gather a couple friends and meet me in my suite in five minutes!’ I order. ‘Oh! Yes, Alpha!’ She repli
Dylan Half the fucking night! It would come in waves. Kaiya would writhe in pain for spans ranging from ten minutes to half an hour, then the pain would subside only to start up again. She explained kissing is a more mild pain she is used to but your body never gets used to the pain of your mate having sex with someone not you. It occurs to me that when my father and his friends raped Kaiya’s mother all of their mates felt what Kaiya is feeling. My mother went through pains like this. No one deserves the pain of an unfaithful mate. I held Kaiya tight, even after the convulsing stopped and as she slept in my arms, I drifted off into the best slumber I have had in many years. I open my eyes, already having inhaled her sweet scent as I felt myself awaken. Kaiya’s body has curled into mine and she is still breathing evenly with her arms wrapped around my torso and her head on my chest, using my left pectoral as a pillow. I could really enjoy waking up like this every day. Kaiya wake
Kaiya I want to trust Dylan, but I am afraid to trust much of anyone other than Amira. I don’t know if I will ever feel completely safe, though I can tell Dylan is telling the truth and he is showing me kindness. I just…feel like everyone wants something from me but I don’t know what it is. I am sure Ace wants more than just his perverse games. He wants some lie he believes is truth. What does Dylan want? The doctor looks me over and patches up the visible wounds and suggests a pack psychologist visit with me. Dylan sets it up and I will meet with the pack psychologist tomorrow, and then Dylan goes off to work. I’m left in Dylan’s suite with nothing much to do, but he left me with a cell phone and his phone number. I wish I had Amina’s number, so I send Dylan a message asking if he can get it for me. I tell him what pack she is in and he informs me they are allies and he can request her phone number from her Alpha, but he can not be certain he will get it. After that, I sit on the s
Rebecca I can’t believe Dylan took that little bitch out of her cell! I’ve failed to win him over anyway, so now I can use this to drive a wedge between the Alphas and make it look like Dylan has lost his mind, by being brainwashed by Kaiya. People always believe me. I’m sweet. I look at the girl who is polishing my nails and smile as I think of ways to manipulate this situation to my advantage. What a wholesome shade of pink I have chosen for my manicure….’Ballet Slippers’ is a sweet, innocent shade. It just adds to my charade. Ace believes my story and I just need to ensure others do too, then we can make it look more and more like Dylan is being brainwashed, but I need to stop his snooping and uncovering of things. Thankfully, Ace has not believed Kaiya when she told him thing. The fool doesn’t see anything I don’t want him to, even when all the pieces to the puzzle are right in front of his eyes. Maybe I can devise a way to pay my dear sister a visit. I have known my father i
