Thorns Of The Past.

Truth(s)!

Denying the truth can't erase it forever and doesn't change the facts...

~at the same time, Blue River pack, outside pack house~

Ryker’s pov

“Ryker, calm down!” Brandon says for the tenth time, but the result is the exact opposite of what he wants to achieve.

I am getting madder, I can’t stop fighting to set free from his, Declan and Gabriel’s tight hold and they keep on dragging me to take me outside the pack house.

I am struggling furiously to push them away from me, but I can’t and I have no patience left, I feel ready to shift, run back inside and kill her, but my traitor wolf is neutral, he holds me back and I don’t understand him.

The more I am thinking about what just happened, the more I am losing my mind and I can’t understand the reason I am so cursed from the i***t Goddess! I prefer to have no mate, than have that slut, there is no f*****g way!

I never asked for anything, I never demanded a thing, but now I f*****g do!

I want this bond to break for once and forever, I demand it to break now, I want nothing to do with her and her mother’s dirt and I can’t believe how unlucky I am!

From all the she wolves in this world why her? Why?

She is the last person I could care about and look what just happened, s**t!

My… She… I can’t even say it, this is how outraged and shocked I am!

No, no, no! This is not happening, it’s a nightmare! She can’t be my… Mate.

Nature’s mistakes like her have no reason to have a mate, this is very unfair and I am never going to accept her, the end!

I can’t even imagine myself next to her, this is ridiculous! Her f*****g mother betrayed mine with the piece of s**t, Gabriel and they hurt her, they condemned her to run away and save her pride and us, they continued their damn, pathetic life, the slut took my mother’s title, they stayed together for years, the b***h cheated on the jerk and when she gave birth to that mistake, run away and left it back.

For what?

For me?

To accept her as my mate and Luna, my kids’ mother?

Absolutely not, I don’t want her, I would never want her for anything, so how can I think about me and her as mates forever?

If the others want her, they can have her, but I don’t, I will never and this is my last word and I am sure about my decision. I won’t stay with her because the stupid Goddess decided to play with me and punish me with this cursed and completely unfair fate. I have done nothing wrong and I won’t, this is why I am going to reject her and then she can do what her mother did, f**k around with every man she sees!

I am going to save my fame, name, pack and pride from this humiliation, I won’t do her the favor to give her just what she and her mother want, I am not Gabriel Jones and I deny doing the same unforgettable mistakes he did.

‘Mate’ is a sacred word and so is its meaning. I won’t throw dirt on it, because of that Hayley! I want someone to love me, my wolf, family and pack, not a lying gold-digger. She is her mother’s daughter, she has nothing good inside her, she is like her and I am not stupid, I can’t forget and continue.

I won’t throw her out of the house and pack, although I would love to, but this doesn’t mean there is any hope for us to be together like mates, because we aren’t and we won’t be until the day I close my eyes forever!

I can’t believe I saw her damn photo in Gabriel’s office and I was ready to soften, I was close and I hate myself I was wrong and I thought she was pure and innocent. How can she be these when that woman gave birth to her and her blood is running in her veins?

This is why I felt something, s**t!

I felt it, the stupid, disgusting pull and do you know what?

I feel helpless, hurt and disappointed.

Why did she have to be Michelle’s daughter? Why? Why?

I have never, ever seen anyone like her, I mean…

No, forget about it, her damn appearance is changing nothing. This is her only weapon to reach the top, her appearance, but I don’t bite it. She can find someone else to fool, not me.

“STOP TOUCHING ME!” I roar once we get out of the pack house and the cool air washes my burning face and manage to push Declan with force off me.

I find myself gasping and shaking, I can’t control my body, all I feel is anger, disgust and hatred and my wolf stays silent in my mind, staring at me with a serious, cold, deadly expression I hate, like her.

I don’t know what has gotten into him, last night he hated her till death and now he has shut his mouth, he doesn’t help me and he constantly tries to block me from shifting. The useless wolf of mine has already taken her side, he forgot everything my mother has been through, he is not mad at Michelle’s daughter, he doesn’t want to kill her, he… f*****g wants her.

“She is our mate, she…” he begins to say, running out of patience with the way I feel for him and her, but I scream immediately, block him and then push Gabriel away from me.

He takes two steps back and crashes on the wall behind him with his back, but I don’t care at all. Everything is his fault, he kept her here, he chose the b***h, he betrayed my mother and then brought me here, he did everything!

I wish I could kill him right now, but I can’t, he is the Alpha and… s**t! He convinced me and I agreed, I accepted!

“EVERYTHING IS YOUR DAMN FAULT! LOOK WHAT JUST HAPPENED, LOOK!” I scream to him and try to get rid of Brandon and attack him, but Declan grabs me from behind and grandpa Chase runs out with grandma Helen and Jenna.

My grandparents are extremely pale and their expressions are panicked. My grandma is about to cry, her jaw is clenching, her hands are shaking, she is not even breathing and my grandpa looks more self-collected, he is much calmer, because he realizes how mad I am and what I am capable of doing. And Jenna has stopped right next to my father and her gaze travels to both of us with a worried look written on her face.

“Enough my boy, calm down!” my grandpa says joining Brandon’s side and I growl furiously.

Enough? No, it isn’t enough, it won’t be until I reject her, she accepts it right back without second thoughts and this bond dies immediately.

And I truly don’t understand why I am delaying it. The sooner I reject her, the sooner this sick joke ends.

“I, Ryker…” I begin to say, but Gabriel wakes up like a wild animal and Jenna blocks his way before he reaches too close to me.

His blank, I would say hurt, previous expression has now changed into an outraged one, but he isn’t affecting me. If he thinks I am scared, he is fooling himself. I am scared of nothing and nobody, not even him. I don’t care at all about his opinion or will. He can say he loves and wants his bastard daughter, but I don’t love or want her, I don’t care about her, I hate her!

“Don’t you dare say it!” he roars for the very first time and Declan leaves me to rush to help Jenna and keep him back.

Oh, my dear ‘father’ wants us to fight, he cares more about how his ‘daughter’ feels, but not for what I want, feel or think. I knew he was an ass, but he proves he is much worse than this. He repeats the same mistake, but this time the people are different, I am my mother and Hayley is Michelle, but Gabriel does the same, he choses Michelle (Hayley) over my mother (I mean me).

I don’t know what the hell I am doing here, it is pointless to stay, he…

“Don’t do the same mistake I did years ago!” he shouts before I open my mouth to speak and I smirk ready to break into laughing from his audacity.

He can’t be serious, if he believes that me rejecting Hayley is the same thing he did to my mother.

“I will do the same mistake with you, if I accept her, do you understand?” I shout, trying to pass by Brandon and my grandparents while he does the same thing to Jenna and Declan.

I hope we end up fighting, I need to release my anger somewhere, on him!

“Rejecting your mate is the only mistake. You are going to regret it when it’s too late, like me. You will stay alone and I don’t want this for you!” he screams back with trembling and cracking voice and I freeze, not expecting these words from him.

What did he just say?

I mean I… No, forget about it, he is just trying to make me accept his adopted daughter.

I feel my heart aching as his words start playing in my mind again and again, lock my eyes on his and something inside me cracks, I don’t know what, but I’m sure, I feel it and I don’t like it. I hate the sudden, out of nowhere effect his words have on me and there is no doubt that my wolf would agree with him, if he wasn’t blocked. I know Rowen better than anyone, he would absolutely agree with Gabriel for sure.

“I… I am out of here, I need air, I am going for a run…” I mutter and surrender my tensed body, its muscles relax and Brandon sets me free.

I take a small step back and lower my head to avoid eye contact with everyone and especially my ‘father’. I feel ashamed for a weird reason and all I want is stay alone, I need to… I don’t know what I need, every feeling left my heart and it’s like I am empty inside.

I turn around breathless, grit my teeth instinctually and start walking away, leaving them behind. I have my eyes locked on the ground and leave my inner voice guide me, but deep inside I know I will never again feel complete from now on, because…

I met her and I know that she is…

Mine.

Gabriel’s pov

I observe him walking away and my eyes tingle from the sudden, hot tears’ appearance.

I feel nothing than pain and so does my wolf. I realize everything, because I think I couldn’t do that till now, I had lost my temper and now desperation deluges me hungrily.

They are mate, my kids…

Ryker doesn’t want her, he would have killed Hayley, if we hadn’t interfered on time and now both of them are suffering. Forget about me, Becky or all the others. I am the last person I care about and I do care about Becky and our families, but not as much as I care about my kids, Ryker and Hayley.

Hayley…

No, I left her, she needs me and I have to go to her. I can’t leave her alone and I wish I could help Ryker as well, but it is obvious he doesn’t want me and I will do things worse with my presence, so I can’t run after him, we won’t talk. I’m the last person he wants to see and the first Hayley does want, so I don’t have to ‘choose’.

“Brandon, Chase and Helen, please go with him and Becky is going to come, don’t leave him alone until then.” I say without really thinking about it and Jenna with Declan stop holding me, I turn around and run back inside the house like crazy.

I hear noises, footsteps, cries, but I see nobody until I get inside the living room to find only Max, Joel with Nia and Bianca with Kourtney. My parents, sister, Becky and Hayley are not here and Bianca is crying, not that Kourtney is much better, but I can’t think about them.

There is only Hayley in my mind and my wolf has lost his temper, he is screaming and howling her name, he has a bad feeling and he passes it to me.

My lungs have stuck on my back, my stomach has tightened, there is no oxygen left inside me and my legs feel like jellies with my heart hurting in every beat and my fears more intense.

“Where is Hayley?” I ask Joel, gasping and trembling and he points the stairs with a nervous yet worried look.

I start run like someone is chasing me to the stairs the next second and when I reach it, I don’t just walk up the stairs one by one, but two by two. All this period of time, which is some seconds, I can’t breathe or think, I only feel and the feelings are two, pain and fear for her.

He broke her kind heart, I know my child and I know it is unfair for her and him too.

Hayley has nothing to do with Becky, Michelle, me and our dramatic, completely wrong past.

She isn’t like Michelle, I would say she reminds me of Becky, this is how sweet, sensitive and kind she is, she has only love to give and she never asks for anything in return.

Ryker has the perfect mate and I meant what I told him some seconds ago, he is going to regret it, if he rejects Hayley and I don’t want him to pass through what I did, feel the pain I did and still do, stay alone and ruin his life. If he turns his back on Hayley, it will be like he turns his back on his mother and Becky is the most precious thing for him, he won’t bear it when he realizes his mistake.

I lost Becky and I paid, I still do, I lost her and our kids and I don’t want my son follow my footsteps. I am the worst example, he knows it, he said it, but he is about to do what I did, his anger and hatred are blinding him, he can’t control them and this is scary.

I set my feet on the top floor and snap my head to the direction where Hayley’s old room is in the end of the corridor and I see my parents, Becky and Kaitlyn knocking the door.

My mother is sobbing behind everyone else, my father is in the middle calling Hayley’s name and Becky with Lyn are in front of the door and both of them are knocking and shouting her name in despair.

“Hayley!” I scream unconsciously and Becky turns her head to me panicked while I am unable to walk to them.

My body has been paralyzed, I feel… I don’t know what I feel and I put many efforts to take even the slightest breath and when I make it some seconds later, I smell it.

Blood! It’s her, it’s Hayley’s!

“Gabriel, run! She is not replying, but she is growling!” Becky screams terrified and it takes me one moment to work it in my mind.

She said Hayley is… Growling?

“RUN!” my wolf roars ready to take the lead and I find back my lost power, start running again and reach outside the door in few seconds.

I don’t understand what is happening next, I just see Becky and Kailtyn stepping back, giving me space, my mother falls on her knees with my father trying to help her and I kick the door with force.

The door opens followed from a very loud bang which makes my skin shudder and the scene I see in front of my eyes shocks me like nothing else before and my heart stops beating.

It breaks in pieces and tears leave from my eyes, roll down my cheeks and my wolf screams in pain.

Hayley…

She is lying face down on the floor with her back to us, the small carpet under her has a small lake of blood, she is having spasms, she is really growling and the room is filled from her blood’s scent, it’s a nightmare.

“Hayley!” I yell in desperation and I rush to her with Becky and Kaitlyn behind me.

We kneel around her, calling her name, asking her what is happening, but she is not replying. I try to think what to do, but I don’t know, I’m scared of hurting her, she looks to be in pain and so fragile that it makes me feel helpless. I look at Lyn, begging her to tell me something and she runs her hands through her hair, but says nothing.

“Gabriel, her nose and mouth are bleeding!” Becky cries out and this is when I take the decision to turn her around, try to help her in any way and call a doctor.

I grab her from her arms as gently as I can and turn her around, placing her on my lap and for once more the image of hers breaks my heart, I lose the floor under me and my blood freezes immediately.

My eyes land on her ribs at the right side with the long, deep cut which is bleeding, her blouse is pulled up and reveals her full of scratches, bruises, wounds and marks from old cuts stomach and I open my eyes widely in shock.

This is a horrifying nightmare, this can’t be happening, no!

“Her eyes! They are black!” Kaitlyn exclaims and I take my eyes from her stomach to look at her face and gasp.

She has turned pale like sheet, her nose and mouth are bleeding uncontrollably like Becky told me and her beautiful eyes are opening and closing nonstop, but as Kaitlyn said they are…

Black!

~an hour later, pack hospital~

I jump up when the operating room’s door opens and two doctors walk out and I take three big steps to stop half a meter from them with Becky on my right, Kaitlyn on my left, my parents behind us and Kourtney with Max and Bianca around us.

This was the longest and most torturing hour of my life and I haven’t stopped crying, not that my parents, Becky and Lyn have, but anyway.

I brought Hayley here immediately after I saw her eyes, I carried her in my arms and I asked from my sister to inform the doctors to wait for us at the pack hospital’s main entrance and that’s what they did.

I don’t know what happened to her, but I didn’t like their expressions when they saw her in that condition and they took her in one of the operating rooms before I ask them anything, leaving all of us worried.

Well, worried is not the word that could describe how I feel, but I am too lost to express myself. All I am thinking about this one hour is Hayley and waiting is killing me, I haven’t stopped crying and it’s the first time I can’t stop or control it.

I don’t know what happened to her, but it can’t be good. I have never seen anything like that before, she is only 16, her eyes can’t turn black, she can’t growl and her spasms…

I don’t know anymore, honestly. I just know I’m terrified, if anything happens to her, I will not bear it!

“How is she? What happened?” I ask, noticing the doctors’ hesitation and nervous expressions and my sister takes my hand in hers and squeezes it.

Both of the doctors stiffen and turn to each other to exchange a quick look. I hold my breath, tighten my hold around Lyn’s hand and I turn to Becky when I feel her eyes on me. I hold back a sob when our gazes meet and she smiles heartbroken, places her left hand on my back and rubs it gently ready to cry again.

She is the only one who is helping me with her presence to be honest and don’t get me wrong, I mean her scent helps and this touch of hers right now is easing the great pain in my heart.

I am glad she is here and she cares so much for Hayley, she proves for once more she has kind heart and fair judge and she likes Hayley, although she is Michelle’s daughter, but…

At the same time I feel guilty she is not with Ryker, because he needs her as well and he will be mad at her for staying with Hayley and me instead of leaving us to go and find him. I don’t want him to have problems with her as well, they adore each other and maybe she should go to him, but I can’t talk to her about it, at least not yet, because she won’t leave us until she makes sure that Hayley is completely out of danger.

“Um… Hayley is fine now…” one of the doctors says, bringing me back in real time and I turn to him with my ears perked.

I don’t like this statement, the word ‘now’ isn’t a good sign, it means she wasn’t fine before.

“I don’t understand, what happened to her?” Kaitlyn asks troubled and the second doctor clears his throat and focuses only on me.

Speak damn it, I can’t wait any longer, it’s cruel!

“Alpha… I need to be honest with you, it’s the first time we saw something like this happening and we have to find out about it and how it took place, but we are sure about what happened and why.” He says steadily quite nervous and I motion for him to continue.

So I was right, it is not only the first time I saw something like this, the exact same thing happens for them as well and this is the worst part. I wished they knew to explain to us and I am disappointed.

“Well, first of all we have to tell you that Hayley’s body is full of bruises, cuts, wounds, scratches and scars from old cuts. You saw the extended cut across her ribs on the right side of her body, this is something that happened recently.” He begins and I narrow my eyes with few tears ready to fall from them.

I guess it’s pretty obvious what was happening behind my back, I knew nothing, she never tried to tell me and this is why Hayley was always hiding not only her body generally, but also her hands with long sleeves. She didn’t want me to know, she endured all that abuse and never, ever protested or gave us any sign, but why?

I know I was not close to her, but I never touched her and she had my parents and Kaitlyn, she could have told them, we would have helped her, I would have done anything I could and now that I know, I will take care of everything in person. I’ll just wait for her to wake up and tell me everything with details.

I need to know where all these were taking place and who is or are behind this entire situation. I am going to kill anyone who dared to raise his hands on her!

“I think it doesn’t need further explanation as from where all these wounds came from or how and why they happened…” the doctor mutters awkwardly and I press my lips together, grit my teeth and nod in frustration and pure anger.

The more I think about it, the more I want to torture and kill everyone.

“So… Um, as for why she had this ‘crisis’, we think it has to do with what happened between her and Alpha Ryker. You told us that his reaction wasn’t the best one and we believe this triggered Hayley’s wolf.” It’s the other doctor’s turn to say and I narrow my eyes thoughtfully.

I am not so sure I understand what they are trying to say. We explained to them what happened, about him and Hayley being mates, his violent outburst, her run to her room and how we found her only few minutes later, but I still find it hard to think like before, I’m very upset and worried and my brain isn’t cooperating.

“Wait, you mean her wolf wanted to take control although she hasn’t turned 18 yet?” my father asks surprised from behind us and both doctors nod timidly.

“Yes, exactly, Alpha. Her eyes were black, she couldn’t talk, but growl, she couldn’t control her body and spasms are generally one of the first stages of shifting. Also, her nose and body were bleeding, which means extreme levels of pain that caused her blood’s very high pressure.” The second doctor replies in hurry and I turn to Becky, who has fainted dangerously.

I have never heard any other familiar incident like this, it sounds unbelievable to me.

Hayley’s wolf wanted to take full control and also shift?

“But how is this possible?” Kaitlyn asks next and I exhale heavily while Becky moves very gently her hand from my back to my arm.

I am very lucky she is here with me, because I do need her, I am lost and very scared and I don’t know how to deal with this situation. I need her close to me and I am quite impressed she is not distant and stands by my side. It’s like we are…

Together.

“This is the problem, we don’t know. It is impossible, we know nothing about it.” The same doctor answers and I groan, doing my best not to cry and ‘fall’.

Hayley needs me strong, I have to be patient and stay next to her until she recovers a little bit and we get sure there is absolutely no danger for her.

“How is she now? Is she awake? Did you run all the necessary tests? When is she going to recover?” I make the one question after the other and the first doctor shakes his head in confusion and this truly drives me crazy, not that my wolf is better.

“We run all the tests, we wait for the results to see more details and be able to say more. She is probably going to need few days from the moment she wakes up to recover and only if she rests and eats enough, we also gave her blood, because she had lost a big amount of it and um… Well…” he says and stops to turn and look at the other doctor, who sighs nervously and all of us snap our heads to him.

“It is going to take her from some hours to two or even three days to wake up, Alpha…” he states and a loud growl of surprise escapes my lips.

WHAT THE f*****g HELL?! DAYS?!

“Excuse me, what did you say? Is her condition so crucial?” Kaitlyn asks with the first tears leaving her eyes and I take a step forward ready to grab the doctor from his rob’s collar, because he isn’t talking, but Becky pulls me back, prevents me from doing it and I surrender to her defeated.

I know I am overreacting right now and I am wrong, because he is doing anything he can, but hearing I have to wait is not the most optimistic thing. I need him to speak and these pauses are frustrating.

“Her condition is not crucial, but we had to drug her wolf and Hayley as well, because we could not control them. The usual sedative drugs didn’t work on them and we had to use our last and worst choice.” He finally says and this time I understand immediately what he wants to say and why he is so scared.

“You used wolfsbane on my daughter?!” I roar and manage to reach him, catching everyone off guard and grab him from his neck to shake him with force.

I am killing him, this is it! She is only 16 years old, how did he do that? He could have killed her wolf, this is very dangerous! She hasn’t even shifted, her system is not that strong to take it yet.

“Are you serious? Are you?” I scream, getting ready to struggle him with my tight hold, but Becky and Kaitlyn try to pull me back and my father gets in the middle and helps them.

Damn it! How could he?

“Gabriel, he did it in order to help her. Didn’t you listen to him? The other drugs didn’t work on her, he had no choice!” he says, trying to reason with me and I raise my hands on the air to let them know I stop.

Fuck it!

I have lost my mind for good, I can’t think anymore, I just feel and the emotions are all negative and dark. If I could tear down the entire pack, I would!

“We couldn’t deal with her spasms otherwise, we had to give her blood and her wolf wasn’t willing to stop. We didn’t want to do that, you know it, Alpha.” The other doctor says panicked while the one I grabbed coughs and I shake my head with a blank expression.

“Fair well. I want to know every test’s result immediately once you have it and I also want to go and stay with my daughter. I am not leaving her side until she wakes up.” I say not like a request, but as an order-statement and he nods in submission.

At least I am going to stay here with her. I feel much better and calmer in this thought. I would feel guilty, if I had to leave her alone. I can’t stay away from her, my heart desperately needs to be close to her.

“Yes, Alpha. We are going to inform you and she already is in the best room we have with a nurse constantly next to her, you can go to her.” He says with a very soft and timid smile on his face for the first time since they came out and I nod in hurry.

Okay, the sooner I go to her, the better, I am holding my wolf under my control with great efforts and I won’t be able to continue doing it for too long, he is furious.

“Alright, thank you. You can go.” I mutter through my teeth and turn to my father and Kaitlyn with Becky.

“Becky, I think you should go and find Ryker. You are here too much time and he probably needs you… Don’t tell him about it, we have to give him time or… Well, you know him better, do anything you think it will be better.” I say with my eyes locked on hers and she shakes her head in agreement, although she doesn’t look so willing to leave and her eyes are watery and filled with pain.

Focus now Gabriel! You can die for her, you could give anything to have her here just for few more minutes, but she doesn’t want you and your two kids need both of you, she have to go. Don’t make thing worse now!

“Father…” I continue nervously and give him my full interest to see him softer than he used to be with me.

Maybe he is having a very hard time and he has no powers left, but the only thing there is no doubt about is that he doesn’t want me, he will never want me, especially after today’s latest incidents.

He was absolutely right, I ruined everything , even my kids’ lives and Hayley is suffering while she is innocent. I am aware he hates me and I have to stay away from him, but right now I need his help, because I won’t be able to leave from hospital and I want him to find out who had been hurting Hayley.

“Please take everyone back to the pack house and put mother to rest. Then I would like to ask from you to find out who are Hayley’s abusers. I need names and details, if they are from the pack or from her school, it can’t be only one.” I tell him with great determination, anger and pure malice and he gets ready to say something, but Bianca clears her throat from behind Becky and we quickly turn to her all together in union.

She is biting her lower lip, she is slightly trembling, I smell her fear and nervousness and her eyes are red and puffy, but I didn’t notice she had been crying and her expression is a guilty and scared one.

“I… Know them. I know everyone, Alpha and I am sorry I didn’t tell you before. We all knew, all except the Betas, their son and Gamma Joel. We didn’t tell you, because… She isn’t your daughter and the pack says Hayley is a shame to us and deserves it.” She whispers, trembling even more and I open my eyes widely, I stop breathing and all I see is red.

It makes perfect sense now, I mean I understand why I never listened to anything. The entire pack knew, it was a very well planned conspiracy from everyone, if we put aside Declan, Jenna, Max and Joel with my parents.

“You didn’t know about it!?” Becky asks me surprised after some seconds and I turn to her confused with my eyes narrowed.

Huh?

What does she mean?

From the way she is looking at me I can say she knows something I obviously do not.

What is wrong with her? Why is she asking this?

“Of course I didn’t know! There is no way I would agree in anything like this, I just learned it!” I say breathless and offended for her belief that I knew and I allowed it.

I was an asshole, but never a monster! I never supported violence for any reason, I haven’t raised my hand on anyone all these years, I want my pack members safe and one of my rules is about no violence in my pack for any reason. I’m strict and absolute when it comes to this and this is why I’m going to punish everyone in front of the entire pack as a serious example, but Bianca said the pack knew and took part in it, so everyone is going to pay in different ways.

I have my own plans!

“I am so sorry, Gabriel. I am a big i***t…” Becky whispers hurt with an apologetic look, but I decide not to continue this discussion.

I will have time to talk alone with her about it and hear what she thought about me, because there must be something behind this. She seemed to be sure I knew and I didn’t protect Hayley or I didn’t care and I don’t accept it.

I turn again to Bianca, who is crying in Kourtney’s arms and I exhale furiously. I try to maintain my less temper and so does my wolf. We need to know everything she knows, now.

“Talk, Bianca. Who are her abusers and how long do you all know and don’t talk to me about it?” I ask unable to take a breath with my eyes turning black, my fists shaking, my blood boiling and my heart ready to take fire and she gulps and gives me a short, regretful gaze before she replies to me.

“Some warriors of ours and some kids at our school and… It has been happening for the last three years.”
