Rose POVI woke up the next morning sweating. Why am I so hot? I went to rub the sleep out of my eyes, but my arms were under what felt like a log. That's when memories of last night came flooding back to me. I can't believe I broke down like that in front of them. They are going to think I am weak and no one wants a weak mate."They do not think you are weak, everyone breaks at some point, some people even break down a couple of times throughout their lives. It's normal Rose, don't overthink last night." Jewels told me sympathetically."Jewels is right, you have seen how bad the ugly side of people can be. You kept on fighting to live when anybody else would have given up and willed themselves to die. If you are that worried about it then talk to them about it, tell them how you feel." Aria said with confidence."I'm scared they will tell me that I'm right." I told them as tears started to fall down the side of my face,"We know you are scared Rose, but you are a strong fighter. You
Rose POV I lay there frozen as Damien’s words played in my head over and over again. My brain was trying to process what my body already knew. Fear started to seep into me as I started to remember the horror stories of people's first shifts. I snuck out once to watch someone shift for the first time and I cried for them. Watched them whither around the ground in pain, for what felt like hours, as their bones popped and broke as they took the form of their wolf. The worst part to me was the sickening sound and sight of their skull breaking and forming a snout. I think the easiest part of the whole thing was them sprouting fur as their body changed. I heard a couple of girls talking once saying when their fur started to grow, it was a terrible itch that you can’t scratch, but it’s nothing compared to the breaking of your bones. Now it is my turn. I can’t do this. When my 17th birthday came around and I still hadn’t shifted, I thought I had no wolf. Alpha Maximus didn’t seem to be mad
Damien POVAce came forward with me when Rose made a comment about the beatings in Maximus’s basement. I wasn’t aware he even had a basement. Ace was trying so hard to take control of my body to kill Maximus right now. Just as o was about to lose to him, I looked at Rose and saw she was trying to calm herself down, Ace calmed down not wanting to upset her more. “Did you know he has a basement?” Jackson’s voice filled my head. “No, I had no idea. I don’t think anyone knows.” I told him truthfully. “I can only imagine what kind of stuff he uses when he beat her judging by her scars.“ he growled out. “We won’t know for sure until Rose tells us. We need to ask her about it and record it.” I told him angrily. “She won’t tell us if we record her telling us. I’m sure he has her petrified of what will happen to her if she tells anyone. No one knows about that basement, it’s meant to be a secret. “ Jackson said sadly. “That’s why she won’t know we are recording her.” I told him regretfull
!!!!!!!!!!TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!!! The next couple chapters contain abuse, blood, and SA! Read at your own accord. Rose POV "Before I start, do you guys need to record this or have someone here? That way you have some evidence to use against him." I asked looking between them. I could have sworn I saw guilt cross both their faces. "I can record it if you want, we don't need anyone here. But yes, we do, and having it on record will help a lot. No one is even aware he has a basement, he said when he became alpha he moved the holding cells to an above-ground building he had built." Damien said as he pulled his phone out. He had me confused about this building. "What building are you talking about? The cells are still in the basement, he just had more put in. That's where he takes everyone when he needs to blow off steam or needs a release." I said to him as I tried to swallow the bile that was threatening to spill out. "What do you mean but blowing off steam or needs a release? Rose,
Rose POV!!!!!!!TRIGGER WARNING SA!!!!!!!!I lost count after 20 of how many times he struck me. After what felt like hours, he finally stopped. My whole body felt like it was on fire. I lifted my head slightly to look down at my body and I was horrified by what I saw. There was not an inch of skin across the front of my body that was not split open. I let a tear escape my eye, these will turn into scars and my mate will never want me now. I laid my head back down on the table and blinked away the tears in my eyes before he could see them. "I see that tear, now we're getting somewhere," He said before he slowly licked the side of my face where it had fallen. "You know I love it when they cry." He whispered in my ear before walking to the other table.I fought the urge to vomit while he was licking the side of my face. His breath reeked of whiskey and cigarettes, that's all I could smell along with the strong scent of blood. I turned my head toward Alpha Maximus's direction t try to s
Maximus POVAfter Hazel left my office that night, she called and said doing a powerful spell right from the beginning would only trace the magic back to her. She suggested doing something small like casting a spell over some rogues to calculate and make their attacks faster. I asked her if there was any way to make it to where they had a set target to focus on, but she said it would be impossible without an item that belonged to the person.I told her I would check the blanket Rose used as a pillow for a lock or two of Rose's hair. As soon as we hung up, I got up from the chair at my desk and locked the door to my office then I walked over to the window and closed the black-out curtains so no one could see into my office. Absolutely no one knows about the small box-shaped hole under the rug that is in the middle of my office. I made it myself two months after I became alpha.I pulled the rug back and pushed on the floorboard gently and it instantly popped open. Inside is a small wood
Jackson POVThe whole time Rose was telling us what happened to her, she had a vacant look on her face. She was no longer Rose, just an empty shell of her. She was reliving one of the worst moments of her life. By the time she got to the middle of her story, she had tears rolling down her face. Rose never noticed because she was so lost inside her memory.I'm normally calm and collected, but hearing the things Maximus did to her had me shaking violently with anger. I want nothing more than to rip that disgusting, excuse of man limb from limb slowly and painfully. I want him to suffer just like he made Rose suffer. While I wanted to kill Max, I also wanted to pull Rose out of her head and hold her in my arms until all her pain and suffering were gone. I know that it will never happen because that is something she needs to do herself but I can try. I looked over at Damien to see how he was holding up and I was surprised at what I saw. He was sitting perfectly still, his breathing even
Rose POVI shot upright in bed as pain rippled through my entire body. I was drenched in sweat and my clothes were sticking to my body. A wave of nausea slammed into me like a tidal wave, I threw my body across a hard lump in the bed just in time to throw up on the floor. There was something off about the liquid I puked up. "Rose what's wrong?" Jackson asked with a groggy voice before he turned on the bedside lamp. "Oh, my goddess Rose!" He shouted as he shot up in bed holding on to my shoulders.At first, I didn't know what he was so worried about until I opened my eyes and saw the blood all over the floor. I realized then, that's what I threw up. Tears filled my eyes when another wave of nausea hit me and I violently threw up again. The pain got worse each time I threw up, after the fifth time, I stopped counting. I was becoming exhausted and on the verge of passing out. My hair was soaked from how much I was sweating. All of my bones hurt and I have the worst headache anyone coul
Rose POV The shocked expression on the leader's face had me laughing internally, but I didn’t let him see that. Jewels stayed in her defensive stance while also watching all of her surroundings, making sure no one was trying to sneak up on us. We let out a menacing growl that shook the ground we all were standing on. I watched as his men lost their balance and fell to the ground while all of our warriors were standing perfectly still. The humans and warriors looked around frantically trying to piece together what was happening around them. It didn’t take long for my warriors to realize that it was me causing the ground to shake as they all got down on their knees, submitting to me. That’s when I discovered I have an alpha aura, a strong one at that. As soon as the leader finally put it together, his head snapped in my direction. “What in the fuck are you?” He spat out at me, his words filled with venom. I responded to him with another growl, bearing my teeth. I watched his jaw cle
Rose POV I thought shifting into Jewels and running through the woods was exhilarating, soaring through the sky as Aria is soul-freeing. For the first time since I started to hear and feel Jewels and Aria, all three of us were calm and felt a sense of peace. Our mind was clear, the only thing we were thinking about is how amazing the wind feels gliding against our scales and wings. The flapping of our wings almost sounds like gentle thuds of thunder as a storm is rolling in. Never in my 18 years of life have I felt free. At this moment there is not a single worry on my shoulders. Nothing matters other than the open sky surrounding us. I let Aria have full control since this is her first time out and we haven't talked and bonded nearly as much as Jewels and I. Happiness seeped into my heart at how content Aria was in the sky, it was her home. I nudged Aria to look down at the ground and I was blown away. The view from up here is incredible! All the trees below, even the ones that
Rose POVOn the walk back to the packhouse everyone was chatting amoungst themselves and I hung back listening the sounds of the other creatures of the night. So much has happened in such a short amount of time and I was starting to feel overwhelmed. How the hell am I supposed to be the Moon Goddess when I can't even get a single night alone with my mates without something happening?I'm supposed to be the Luna and Beta Female of the Moonlight Pack and I haven't been introduced to the pack. A part of me felt like Damien was ashamed of me and being ashamed of being mated to slave. But another part of me knew that wasn't true, ever since they found me it has either been Alpha Maximus was sending witches and rogues to kill me, I craved up myself in some trance that I still don't understand, and now I'm the freaking Moon Goddess. We haven't had the chance to breathe, let alone plan a ceramony to annouce their pack finally has a Luna. I bounced back to the conversation between Damien and
Rose POV “That’s what mates are supposed to do. They put you back together and make you whole again.” Seline said warmly. “And that’s the problem.” I whispered. “How is that a problem?” Seline asked confused. “The supernatural world isn’t as evolved as the human world. My ancestors were hunted down like prey and killed, they will come for me. Not to mention I’m a hybrid and everyone fears them. They made me whole again and now I have to break myself all over again.” I mumbled. “I’m not following. Why do you have to break yourself again?” Seline questioned. “Because I have to go live in the Moon realm or I will be killed if I stay here.” I snapped at her. I wanted to feel bad for snapping at her but it’s true. As soon as everyone finds out who I am and what I am they will hunt me down like a hog and slaughter me like one. I can’t make any change or bring everyone together if I am dead. Maybe after a few years of secluding myself from everyone, they will have warmed up to the id
Rose POV“What do you mean I brought you back?” I asked her confused and afraid of myself now. “When I died, you became the Moon Goddess. You have all of my magic and yours, your grief restored my life.” Seline said.“I can’t be the Moon Goddess! I have only ever shifted into my wolf one time! I haven’t even shifted into Aria yet! And I’m a hybrid, I can’t be the Moon Goddess! No one will ever respect my or pray to me because of what I am! How could you do this to me?” I screamed.So much was running through my head I can’t keep a single thought straight. There are very few creatures that are accepting of hybrid’s. The second they find out what I am, they will hunt me down and kill me. I’ll never be able to leave Seline’s, well now mine, realm. Oh, and we have to add on the fact of my dragon heritage that is going to make people want to kill me even more.“Rose, take a couple deep breath’s for me.” Seline said. I was too lost in my head to see or feel how close she was and her hands o
Rose POV Just before Alpha Maximus's wolf collided with us, both Jackson and Damien shoved me backwards as hard as they could and I went flying backwards. I hit the ground, hard, and started tumbling until my back hit something. Pain started to radiate from my ribs deep into my chest. It felt like I couldn't breathe. The whole time while I was flying and rolling, all I could hear through the once silent night was the tearing of clothes from my mates shifting, snarling and the snapping of jaws. One noise really stood out to me, it was the thunderous sound of wolves colliding with one another.I laid there with my back still against the tree as I tried to catch my breath and waited for the feeling in my legs to return. "Why am I not healing as fast I should be?" I screamed in my head so my mates weren't distracted by my yelling. I laid there trying to fight the urge to go to sleep. "My poor child." Seline said as she ran the back of her fingers against my cheek. "Seline?" I stutte
Rose POV Fear took over my body and I was frozen in my spot crouched down on the ground. The look on his face I've seen one too many times, he's beyond pissed off and is in rage mode. This isn't going to end well. I've always thought of the things I would do to him before I killed him and now I realize, I will never be able to stand up to him let alone kill him. I felt Jewels and Aria both come out of their hiding place in my head and go into defense mode. Two thunderous growls tore through the woods, I wanted to look at them but I was afraid if I took my gaze off him for one second he would attack me. In the blink of an eye, my two rather large mates were standing in front of me. Their bodies blocked Alpha Maximus's view of me for the most part, but he could still see my eye poking through the crack between their arms. "You have no business here, leave!" Damien said sternly. "Oh but that is where you are wrong. You see, when Rose's parents died.." Alpha Maximus started to say bef
Rose POV Jackson attacked my mouth with his and pressed his already naked body into mine. I was shocked when I felt his dick pressing into my stomach. I raked my hands down his sides and slipped one of them between us and took his penis in my hand. If my mouth wasn’t so busy at the moment, my jaw would have hit the floor. Jackson isn’t thick like Damien is, instead he’s longer, a lot longer. How is he going to fit this thing inside of me? I started to move my hand up and down his length slowly. Every time I came up to the tip, I would gently brushed my thumb across the top of it. I picked up my pace and I felt him get even more hard if that’s even possible. Jackson put one of his hands between us and punched my clit between his fingers. At first it hurt but with how hot you I was, it quickly turned into pleasure. My arousal mixed with Damien’s juices started to spill out onto my thighs with how horny I am. He released my clit and started to gently massage it with his thumb as he pla
Rose POV Jackson didn’t waste anytime coming over to Damien and me. I thought he was going to pull me off of Damien’s lap, but instead he pressed his chest into my back and started kissing and sucking on my mark. It felt so good my eyes were rolling into the back of my head. Simultaneously they were thrusting their hips into me from different sides. I thought I was turned on before, it was nothing compared to how turned on I am now. I swear my pussy is pouring out juices like a water faucet left on high. Their hands roaming all over my body had sparks and warmth flowing through my like an electric current. Jackson’s mouth continued its assault on my neck while Damien took in a mouthful of my breast and started swirling his tongue around my nipple. The pulling and tightening in my stomach was so strong, I’m about to fall over the edge I am dangerously balancing on. “I’m going to cum.” I said breathlessly. “Not yet princess.” Damien said in a deep husky voice. It is torture trying
