*** Trigger Warning! *** Reid's POV After passing two more guards doing the same thing, we finally made it to the end. The last cell on the right. As I approach the cell, my heart hammers in my chest, and my palms feel cold and sweaty. My wolf pushes forward, trying to look into the cell with me. I look into the cell and see he's still laying in the same exact spot. He hasn't moved an inch in the last several hours. My chest tightens, and my stomach drops. Oh Goddess, is he even still alive? If he was dead before I found him earlier, I would have never known my mate died. But if he died after I saw him, I would have felt it. But it would have been faint, since I haven't touched him, or made eye contact with him yet, nor have I talked to him. Our connection is barely formed, hanging on by the smallest thread since I only laid eyes on his unconscious body. "Well, here we are!" Ace said as he stuck the key in the door before opening it. He looks into the cell, "Yup, I'm going t
Reid's POV As we pulled up to the pack house I linked Damien, asking him to fill my bathtub for me. He desperately needs a bath, not just for the fact that he's so filthy, but I want the dirt out of his wounds. My dad opens the door for me and I climb out with my mate tucked in my arms tightly. The movement of getting out of the car woke him. His eyes blink open and he begins looking around. I can see the fear in his eyes as soon as he sees other pack members walking around. He clings to me, holding on for dear life while his body violently trembles. His eyes dart around as he whimpers. I can hear his rapid breathing as tears roll down his face. I look around when I hear several gasps and realize people have stopped to look at him. Some look at him shocked, while others look at him while covering their mouth. I looked down and realized the blanket had fallen off of him, and they could see how bad his body was. I quickly bent over, grabbed the blanket, and draped it over him. I
Reid's POVI took the towel and moved it around drying him off before standing up and heading into my room.I walked over to the bed and laid him down before I walked back into the bathroom. I grabbed the first aid kit then walked back over to him, slowly sitting on the edge trying not to scare him.I applied some peroxide on a cotton pad then brought it up to his cheek. He flinched back as I approached his face with my hand and I paused."I just want to clean your wound so it doesn't get any worse than it already is. It might sting a little bit but I'm not trying to hurt you."I slowly move my hand forward again, dabbing his cheek. He hissed and flinched once the peroxide got into the wound on his cheek."I'm sorry, I know it hurts but I have to clean it out okay." I proceeded to move forward again and this time he let me clean
Reid's POV I was just coming out of the bathroom when my dad knocked on the door twice before entering with a tray of food. Julian instantly grabbed the pillow and held it in front of him tightly as he looked at my dad terrified. It almost looked as if he was holding the pillow trying to hide behind it. My dad instantly noticed this and froze. He glanced at me then back at Julian. "Julian, it's okay this is my dad Aiden. He means you no harm, he won't hurt you. He just brought some food up for you." I said trying to calm him down. My dad slowly approached setting the tray on the table next to the bed. My dad turned to me and said, "I think it's probably best if I leave you too alone. He probably needs some more time to get used to you." He glances back at Julian, giving him a smile before turning and leaving the bedroom. I take a deep breath and release it before walking over and grabbing the food. I smile when I realize it's pizza night. The tray is loaded with different vari
Julian's POV I woke up to a strange sensation on my shoulder. I felt this tingling sensation running from my shoulder, down my arm and threw my chest. I bit my lip so I don't make a sound as I roll onto my back. The pain from last night is unbearable. I know better than to make a sound. They want you to cry, they want you to scream out in pain. They thrive on it. It only excites them more. Most people here have learned to suppress their fears and cries. Even those that have only been here for a short time. But for some reason I have not.... It's not like I haven't been here for that long. I actually have. Probably longer than most people. I was born here.My mother was captured while pregnant and gave birth to me in this hell hole. She was tortured while pregnant with me. Then once she had me they left her alone for a short time. Until I was strong enough to not be on her teets. Then they ripped me from my mother and continue to torture her until I was strong enough. Then they
Julian's POV I looked at my body after he walked away. He said he cleaned my wounds and had to bandage them. I have these strange things all over my body now covering the wounds. They never cared about fixing my wounds. I've never had anybody try to make them better. Only make them worse and add more. I was so confused by his actions. I can't figure him out. I keep expecting him to hurt me but he hasn't yet. Instead he does this, try to fix them. "I know these are probably not going to fit you, but I thought you might want to put something on." The man said. I didn't understand what he meant. Does he want me to put that stuff on my body like he does? He place them in front of me and I look at him, then back at the stuff he placed in front of me. " It's clothes, You can go ahead and put them on, it's okay." The man said. Still not wanting to talk because I'm not really used to using my voice. I'm not used to being allowed to use my voice. I points at the clothes then at myself.
Julian's POV I wake up warm and comfortable. I slowly stretch my body, as I move I realize I'm laying on the soft comfortable thing again and become confused. I open my eyes and look around. I am back on the warm comfy thing. And he covered me up again. I looked around and I don't see him anywhere, but I do hear water running in the other room. I sit up when I hear the water turned off a few minutes later. I feel my wolf push forward when he walks out of the room where the water was. We both look at him as he walks out with just pants on hanging low and he's wiping his face with one of those towels. He doesn't have anything on his chest and I find my eyes roaming his chest, admiring it. His skin isn't white like mine. It's darker and I can't see any of his bones like I can on myself.His body has all these round firm muscles on his chest and arms. Over his stomach there's defined lines going all the way down to his pants. I look at the lines that disappear below his pants and my wo
Reid's POVWe stayed like that holding each other until there was a knock at the door. My father came in with breakfast. I turned around surprised, expecting my dad. I felt Julian tense up in my arms."I thought I'd bring this up for you guys. I just wanted to see how he was doing." My father said.I watched as he's slowly looked around me to look at my father. I looked over at my father and saw him smiling at Julian.Julian looked at him curious but nervous."Julian, this is my father, Thaddeus. Thaddeus this is Julian."My father stayed where he was over by the table. Probably afraid to scare him if he came closer."Hi Julian!" My father said."I hope you're feeling better this morning. I brought you up some food.""He still looks extremely pale. Have you by any chance giving h
