*Wade's POV*
It's been a tough day. It's a day that has always brought me joy. Always a cause for celebration. But last year's was the worst day of my life. And I don't feel like this one is going any better. It is Pipers and my birthday and all that signify to me is that she hasn't been mine for a whole year. One whole year she has been tied to my good for nothing brother. One year of only being able to see her at nights sneaking to see her, and that's if I even can. One year if grueling training one year of having to watch Piper bruised and broken, raped and abused.
How can it feel like a year had flown by but also feels like it has dragged at snails pace.
I arrive at the bakery and purchase 2 nicely iced cupcakes. It makes my heart hurt more. I should be able to give Piper the world instead I am giving her this lousy cupcake, I hate the fact that it has taken me a year to train. I feel like I am nearly ready to go against Jason. But if I was better if I was stronger already she would be safe already.
I head home and sneak the cakes U in to my room for taking to her later. I went back downstairs to dinner. I sat down. Jasmine, Pipers older sister looked over at me.
"Isn't it your birthday today?"
"Yes it is"
"So that means it's my slut of a sister's birthday too"
I see Jason looking up from his meal now and looking at me interested.
"Yes it is"
Jasmine gets up and walks over and sits on Jason's lap.
"A year ago she thought she could take my man from me"
She starts laughing. She is such a stupid botch, she has been after Jason for years, hoping to be his chosen mate, hoping to be Luna.
She totally overlooks all the other girls he is with and his constant abuse of her own sister. I keep my expression emotionless. I turn to look down at my meal, I see Callum with a scowl on his face. Yep I feel the same too.
I notice that Jason has stopped watching me as well to concentrate on giving Jasmine what she is chasing. They start kissing and she is rubbing herself all over him.
I am thankful to her for one thing. At least she will keep him busy for tonight so I can see Piper.
I finish dinner and head up to my room.
I don't even nap waiting to go up and see her it has been 3 nights since I last saw her. I am aching to see her.
The sky starts to darken. It is not as late as I usually go but I want to see her now. I can't wait any longer. I pack my backpack with the cupcakes and head up to her.
I climb I. The window. She is still sitting up watching something on the TV. She looks at me surprised.
"Ohh Wade"
She jumps up and rushes over to me wrapping me in a bone crushing hug. I smile and return it. She finally let's go and looks up into my eyes.
"I have missed you so much"
"I missed you too baby girl"
Then she steps back and looks at the time.
"Not that I am complaining but what are you doing here so early?"
"I brought you a present"
I grab the cupcakes out of my bag and hand them to her.
Her eyes light up with joy. We head over and sits on her bed and tuck in to the delicious cupcakes. When she finishes she says with a smile.
"What is the occasion?"
I look at her surprised.
"Baby girl, it's our birthday"
Her eyes darken and her face drops. It was like someone turned a light switch on her happiness. That someone was me. I did this. I thought she knew.
"I am sorry I didn't get you anything"
"I don't need anything, I am sorry baby girl I thought you knew"
She just laid down on the bed. I just gather her up in my arms shift her over to her side of the bed and lay in beside her. I pull the cover over us. She rolls over and snuggles into my chest and I pull her close to me.
*Pipers POV*
"Baby girl, it's our birthday"
I don't know why those words broke me so much. I promised myself that I was getting myself strong physically and emotionally. I still just break down so quickly. I try not to but I just couldn't help it.
How has it been a year already. How did I not know?
So I just lay there snuggled into Wade's chest. I feel so Hollow. I got nothing left to give to him. I used to think I have him my love care and affection. He may not have my body but he had my soul. Now I don't think I actually give him anything. I don't have emotions left. He deserves more.
I wake early. Still in Wade's arms. I used to feel safe in them now it just gives me a massive sense of lose.
He wakes and I smile at him. Trying to make it look real.
"Good morning baby girl, are you alright?"
"Yeah I am fine, don’t worry about me"
He looks at me. I have never been able to lie to him. He can read me like a book. So I continue.
"Okay I am not fine, but I will be"
He smiles. He believes that.
I stay in his embrace until like every other time he kisses my forehead and tells me it is time to go. The cold and empty feeling just increases as he disappears out the window. I just lay in bed and stare at the ceiling. How has it been a year already?
I finally drag myself out of bed and head out to the kitchen. I have been fixing my own breakfast since I have been up here. I like it. I got my own little routine now it breakfast then, Get dressed then work out in the gym. Jason doesn’t mind me working out on the equipment I thought he would but he knows I will never be able to fight back against him.
I sit down and eat my breakfast. It is such a lonely existence up here. I finish pack my things in the dishwasher and go get dressed into my work out gear.
As I am walking to the gym I notice one of the doors that I am not allowed to enter slightly ajar. I cant help my curiosity. I peek in. I have never looked before. The risk just seems too great to bother. It is an office. It has a large desk in the middle. Book shelves completely covering one wall.
The other wall lined with.
My eyes open wide. I let out a small gasp.
The other wall is lined top to bottom with weapons.
My eyes fall upon my salvation. I know exactly what to do.
A small pure silver knife sits off to the side.
That is what I need that is what I am going to use.
I sense Jason is coming up the stairs. I quickly hurry to the gym. I get on the treadmill just before he bursts in through the door of the apartment.
“Piper here now”
I walk over to him. He does not seem happy. He couldn’t know I looked in the study. I didn’t touch the door. I didn’t go close enough for him to know.
When I am 3 steps from him he swings his arm back and punches me straight in the nose. I feel my nose break. Blood dripping on the floor.
My eyes are open wide. He never usually does this. He usually only abuses me in my room. He grabs me and throws me across the room. I hit the dining table with such force that he timber splinters around me. I have had the wind knocked out of me. I try and get to my feet.
“What did I do?”
I just manage to get out.
He strides over to me and picks me up by my throat. My feet dangling off the floor. He throws me again. This time I hit a wall the dry wall crumbling around me.
I don’t even try and get to my feet again.
He grabs me around the throat again and lifts me up. My face is so puffy and swollen I can hardly see him. He shoves me against a wall and lifts me by my neck. Dragging my back up the wall. Until my level is at his. He finally speaks.
“It has come to my attention that it was your birthday yesterday”
“Yes”
“Yes what”
He growls
“Yes alpha.”
I can hardly speak his hand is so tight around my throat.
“So you have not produced a pup in a whole year”
He punches me repeatedly while saying that.
“I……”
“You don’t speak you pathetic mutt, what the f**k is wrong with you, you are a pathetic excuse for a wolf and you are a pathetic excuse for a mate.”
He hits me a few more times then releases me letting me fall to the floor. He grabs my hair and drags me to my room. He throws me on the bed. He twists and breaks my arm.
He rips off both of our clothes and dives on me.
He thrusts up inside me. I let out an earsplitting scream. He covers my mouth. And thrusts harder. He pauses only to wrap both hands around my throat. I cant breathe I am losing consciousness. I struggle to stay awake. But why fight it. Isn’t this what I want. I let go. It is all over. I am finally going to be at peace.
