14 - All That You Are Is a Filthy Curse

LEON'S POV

I’m not entirely sure why but the second Tricia warped into her Fae light I trusted her. I took magic history classes very seriously. I’ve always been a believer that those who possessed magic were our real threat.

Pack leadership often focused on rogues and hunters but something in me always wondered about the magic societies and why they never tried to interfere with our packs. Was there something truly deviant at work? 

 

Werewolves could be disruptive, and too many packs were still living in the old ways. Buying and selling slave rogues that they did unimaginable things to, capturing magical creatures to steal their powers or torture them. On top of that, a lot of the pack leadership members didn’t respect our Goddess’s gift to us.

I had heard many wolves had started to reject their true mates. Alphas and Betas were leading an example that cheating on our mate bond was acceptable if you were at a high enough rank.

The entire idea made me sick. I was known to enjoy a pretty she-wolf from time to time, but never would I cross the line.

Father understood that as young wolves we may try to cross boundaries, but he always made sure that we never crossed certain lines. For example. we never entertained a she-wolf that was mated, still held her innocence, and the obvious underage issue.

Not that he needed to instill the last moral, but he did make sure to address the topic. All of this aside, I still couldn’t figure out why I felt that Tricia held a safe space, magic being or not.

A sudden burst of sadness wafted over me as I worked through these thoughts. Lucy had been a rogue slave even though she wasn’t rogue.

Did that mean she had experienced some of the things I had heard about?

Why did I all of a sudden care about this? Don't get me wrong, I’m not heartless but our pack took in so many of these victims to free them from their lives that I stopped thinking too hard about it.

This was something up Liams alley and I was starting to get bothered by my thoughts.  

“She will be okay” a gentle voice broke me from my trance. When I looked up Tricia had her hand on my shoulder and Liam was examining the photo she had given him.  

I knew quite a bit about Fae when it came to textbook knowledge, but I was aware that Fae's existence hadn’t been documented from earlier years. They were very allusive and secretive.

The one thing that I knew for sure was the magic she was admitting was much stronger than that of a normal Fae. At least to my knowledge, maybe they were stronger than I had thought.

Liam was pacing around like a crazy person, flicking the picture back and forth. “She has magic, how can we even know this is real?” Liam questioned.

I grabbed the photo, and my eyes physically hurt when I focused on the picture. It was undeniably Lucy and Tricia. They were probably nine or ten, swinging together in unison.

They both looked happy. The one thing that stood out to me was that Lucy’s eyes were gleaming in a silverish tone as she looked over at Tricia.

I shrugged it off. It could be the lighting or the flash.

“It doesn’t feel like magic and when I smell it, there’s no magic scent brother. I think we should hear her out. She may be able to help and at the least, we can understand who the woman in our dungeon cell is,” I spoke with some bitterness because I couldn’t let Tricia see that she felt like our only hope of freeing some woman I didn’t even know. 

Tricia walked over to me with a heavy sigh. “I swear you boys are hopeless. I told my mom it was all a waste of time, but she insisted that it wasn’t” Tricia spoke with authority as she grabbed my arm in a tight grasp flooding my memories with ones that I had never lived before. The memories linked straight to Liam who stiffened as they emerged clearer.

The room turned into a flurry as I focused on the current memory. I could tell that I was seeing the memory from someone else's eyes.

“All that you are is a filthy curse!” a voice boomed in the room. I looked over frantically, preparing myself to fight back when I saw the outline of a small frame through the slats of the door in front of me.

I focused harder blinking my eyes when a girl held her pointer finger to her mouth signaling me to not speak. I looked around at the darkness I was surrounded by before focusing back on the scene in front of me, trying my best to see through the openings of the slats.

 What. The. Hell.

    LEON'S POVI could tell that I was inside of a closet. Tricia must have been hiding in here I thought to myself. I watched as a pair of sleek black dress shoes moved heavily towards the girl. SMACK! His palm met her cheek forcefully. Her head whipped to the side in my direction only for a moment before her body went limp and fell to the ground with a force stronger than gravity itself. The girls' eyes looked into mine briefly. Lucy's eyes. I wanted to rush out to her and help her, but I was rooted in my spot. My body wasn't my own, it was as if I could only move and look in the directions that Tricia did in this memory. My eyes flickered up through the slats toward the man, who was none other than Alpha Kragen. He stood hovering over her body emitting his Alpha aura on her which was leaving her pinned to the hardwood floor beneath her. She couldn’t be more than 10 years old. I could see bruises on her legs and arms. Some old and some new. Her cheek was visibly red and appeared t

    LUCY'S POVI don't even know how many hours it had been since I sat on the cold hard floor in my dungeon cell. There was a small cot bolted to the floor. The thin beige fabric was torn and clearly worn out. The cell was lined with silver and the bars were silver as well. This tactic was used to dramatically weaken our werewolf side. Being surrounded by this amount of silver would typically cause your wolf to go dormant. Tears were silently streaming down my face. My father always said I was a dreamer, maybe he was right. Or maybe I was an idiot for thinking that I would get a fresh start or that I could avoid him at the gala. To think that I was more worried about my mate finding me than my father. I wasn’t sure if Leon had caught on yet. I know that my lack of scent had to of been confusing but the sparks when we touched were undeniable. Some part of him had recognized that. He argued with Alpha Leander about me being put in the dungeon which caused a bigger scene. He looked at

    LIAM'S POVI don’t know what Leon's issue was. Ever since Lucy got taken, he’s been acting strange. On top of that, I was disappointed that Lucy wasn’t my mate. I was so sure of it. The way I felt like I needed to protect her was very abnormal, even more me. When she had the panic attack in my dad's office, it physically made my heart hurt. Leon always told me I was too emotional. Maybe he was right. I tried not to be agitated that Lucy wasn’t my mate, but it kept hitting me in the chest whenever the thought crossed my mind. She was captivating. The second my eyes landed on her, my mouth watered. Her black hair was as dark as a new moon night, in contrast to her bright blue eyes, which made my knees feel like jello when she looked at me.She was petit but curvy in every place that mattered. Her style was rugged and unique, not prim and proper like most she-wolves who often doted on me and my brother. I was surprised when she snapped at Leon for how he spoke to her. She did it with

    LUCY'S POVDespite my protests to go back, we were still moving forward into the darkness. I wanted to go back for my descenter, but Seth didn't care about my needs or wants. I couldn't blame him. It was obvious that he didn't want to be doing what he was doing, to begin with.Of course, I didn't tell him what I needed, and honestly, I'm not sure why it was that big of a deal to me at this point.Seth didn't tell me where we were going or why. The tunnel was barely lit with luminescent stones. It was a practical and innovative build for a getaway tunnel, which I had assumed the tunnel was for at this point. I was proud of my stamina. Seth wasn't going slow, and I could keep up pretty quickly. I suppose that's from all the muscle and strength I built being used as a pack mule, doing chores, and running from one task to the next as a rogue slave. I felt like we had been jogging down this tunnel for hours.The pack house was more significant than most pack houses I have seen. This pack

I was completely exhausted the entire day, and by the time my body reached the bed, I had passed out. I couldn't be sure if I had covered myself at some point or if Seth had. I doubted the second scenario, as Seth had been very cold towards me since he snuck me out of the pack house. I needed answers was my first thought as I woke up the following day.I looked around the spacious room. Dust collected on the surfaces, indicating that this place wasn't often used or visited. There was a large rug in the middle of the room. Across from that stood a massive dresser and mirror. The room was minimalistic. I noticed two doors in the room. One of them I had come in when I entered last night.I noticed a small stack of clothes at the bottom of the bed. I sat up, stretching before pulling myself off the bed. I looked over th

    LUCY'S POV:Seth looked at me crazy after my Alpha aura slipped out and onto him. I didn't mean to. I wasn't angry with him; I was angry with my crazy dad and how I felt powerless over everything. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that," I said honestly."So you are Alpha Kragen's daughter?" Seth asked. "Yes," I said without hesitation, but my stomach churned at the honesty I was speaking."Seth, I will speak truthfully, anything you ask me, but I need you to promise that you won't tell OUR Alpha any of this. I understand you cannot lie to him if he asks you directly. However, I would like the opportunity to speak my truth to him myself. I owe him that much. Can we agree on that?" I added.I looked over at Jason, who nodded at me. I didn't have to say anything or ask any questions. I knew that was his way of telling me my secrets were safe with him. For someone who didn't trust anyone, I trusted Jason very easily. Jason was the sweetest soul I had ever met. He always checked up on me

Do I want my mate?I couldn't tell if Seth started being nice because he knew Leon was my mate or if my honesty and answering some of his questions had helped him open up to me.We were now standing on the porch before the giant mansion-like cabin.I was trying to find the right words to explain my feelings towards mates that would reveal less of what I hadn't said. The truth was, I didn't want a mate for far more than my dad killing my mom.Years of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse at the hands of different packs, especially Alphas, had caused trauma I hadn't even tried to deal with yet.Would anyone want me after they found out how many men had already had their way with me? It made my stomach flip and turn sour from the thought.'Tell him,' Nia encouraged. 'Are you crazy?' I scoffed. 'You told him you'd be honest with all his questions,' she retorted.She loved reminding me of this. She liked Seth and Dax. She trusted them, and I was
