LOGINAZALEA'S POV
"Kai what are you doing!, get out!." I manage to order, but it did nothing to help.
"Why, I've not had my fun yet." I walk backwards, putting distance between us. "You know, I've always thought of what your skin would feel like in my arms, those perky breasts in my mouth…….." He laughs in a diabolical way, I've never heard before, pushing his brown hair out of the way, I walk away with each step he takes towards me.
"Kai, you're drunk and in my room! Get out, before you do something stupid." I shout, by now, all sense being quiet and respectful out the window. But he doesn't listen.
"Kai, stop right there, I'm going to shout!."
"Of course you are, when I show you all the pleasures of the world." In a swift movement, he is right in front of me, his hands on my neck, I try to run, but he's fast, I reach for something to hit him with, my eyes dilating as he restricts my air flow. His hands begin to rake my body in a very, very disgusting way, I manage to pick a pen holder and hit him with it, right in the eye and then I scream out my lungs.
"Mom!......."
He reach for me again, trying to stop me from screaming, I scratch his face with all the strength in me.
"Shut up!." He growls, his wolf completely taking over, he flings me across the room like he did my bed sheet, my scull almost split open, my eyes cloud for a bit, black dots appearing in my vision, but I see him making his way towards me again, I scamper to my feet, charging towards the door, but I never make it. He grabs me again, pulling me with my clothes, I hear them rip.
I try to kick him, screaming, I grab unto the door handle, but Kai pulls my feet dragging me back into the room so that the door handle tear through my skin, before he can do anything else, dad rushes in to pull him away from me with a resounding slap.
"Azalea!." I hear mom cry out and feel her hands around me almost immediately, my face moisten from tears already falling without realizing. I open my eyes, to see mom, dad, and a few maids, mom pulls me to my feet, and we hurriedly leave the room to theirs.
I hear my dad shouting and the sound of something crashing, Kai says something and another slap shut him up, I try to listen, but mom closes her door, putting a chair behind it to hold.
"Baby, I'm so sorry." She turns to me, her face already damp with tears. "I'm so sorry you had to experience that in your own home, I'm…."
I take her hands and shake my head, in an attempt to stop her from blaming herself for what Kai did, but with tears in my eyes, my clothes ripped and blood on my palm, did no help.
"I failed you Azalea, I promised to protect you and I failed."
"Mom, no you didn't, it not your fault, he was drunk." I try to reason out, even though the words felt like poison on my tongue.
"Don't blame his actions on alcohol, Azzy, we both know he can handle his alcohol, he will receive full punishments for this, I will not spare him at all, and I don't care if he's 80 years old."
Chills run down my spine at her words, mom's usually the chill and laid back person, but we all know better than to set her off, she's if not worse than dad.
"Go take a shower, I'll tell Camren to get you new clothes." She says before I can retort, leaving no room for argument. Nodding, I do as she says.
The next day, mom and dad don't really say anything to me, other than Kai was taking a trip for a while. I know that decision was definitely related to what happened. I pass by his office before Kai left and listen in on their conversation.
"She is your sister Kai!, how could you even think of doing such a thing!, have you no self control?!." Dad screams at him.
"She's not my sister dad, we all know that, Eloise and Alexa are, but that freak!....." He doesn’t get to finish as dad lands him another hard slap. My heart breaks, not knowing Kai thinks this way of me, or maybe I was aware and just ignored it.
"It happens a lot dad, in other packs, cousins are mates….."
"But she's not yours!." Dad shouts again.
"What's so special about her?, humans sleep with their siblings all the time, you guys take her like she some goddess!, she's probably going to eventually sleep with some useless punk and give away her virginity in some stupid drunk house college party!."
"I can't believe those words are the words of my son!, future Beta!, you have no regard for life, relationships and purpose!, is that what I've taught you?!."
"I can't believe I have a weakling as a father who won't even challenge the alpha after all these years!. It's like you want to remain in his shadows forever, but I don't!." Kai shouts back.
"I am Beta, I provide for my family and serve my pack well in that regard! I do not need the title of Alpha to feel powerful! If you think seeing the death of my friend is what being powerful means then I must have failed as a father."
"A friend that would not hesitate to kill you if roles were switched!, open your eyes dad! and stop wasting your time trying to cure Azalea! She is a weak slut."
"You are a disgrace Kai!, for daring to do that your own sister, blood or not!, how you will treat other women that are not even related to you!."
Hearing those words, tears pool out of my eyes till I can't take it anymore, I need to leave this place, the pack, immediately after mating day, I'm leaving!. If I was unsure before, now I am not. I do not want to be the reason Dad and Kai's relationship hits rock bottom. I do not want to get in anyone's way.
I know it would kill them, but sorry mom and dad.
AZALEA'S POVMy whole body still ached all over, but nothing would stop me from seeing my siblings. Even though I knew they were safe, we were all safe. I still needed to see them with my own two eyes to be sure that I didn't fail Mom, Dad, and Eloise."Are you sure you feel up to it?" Henry asks me for the uptenth time since I started getting ready. He had bought me new clothes and new hygiene stuff but still asking.I was sick of "receiving visitors" while bedridden. I had been locked in a hospital-looking room and being stuck here was beginning to bring back memories."I feel absolutely fine Alpha." I answer without turning to him but I can hear him hold in a breath.My response however is still not enough to convince him that I'm fine so he turns to the doctor I've now learnt is a childhood friend of his. "Malachi is she cleared to go?""Well she does show small signs of dehydration and malnutrition still, she may still be experiencing sore muscles in certain places but nothing a l
Henry POVThe whole pack quickly turned to the battle of who gets to meet Azalea first. The news of the luna of the oracle arriving in Red Ivy spread like wildfire, and they all wanted to see for themselves. The excited chatter made my stomach turn every time I heard the whispers as I passed by the pack houses.The children spoke of her as if she were a thousand years old, or the moon goddess reincarnated, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the far irony. But it goes without saying: family gets the privilege first, and Mama Brooke had called dibs since we implanted Azalea weeks ago. It was as if she just knew. Gotta love Mama Brooke.But I didn't want to share her with the whole pack yet; I wanted her to myself for more than a few minutes before she got absorbed in Luna frolicking and duties. My mum was always busy with some initiative for the women and children in the pack for all the years I knew her, and I would find my dad cooking up a disaster for dinner when she wasn't around. I
Henry's POV'Alpha!' I hear through the link after what feels like eternity sorting through generations of wolves.'Talk to me, Mal.''She's awake.' I hear him say, Didn't need any more words from him before dashing through the wind to the pack hospital."That was fast." He chuckles as I arrive. "You beat your past record by 0.2 seconds.""How is she?" I ask him again, ignoring his attempts at a joke."She is very stable now; her vitals have improved drastically since this afternoon. It's almost a mystery because she did not need any of the blood we planned on using; her body replenished itself."Atta girl! That’s my fighter. Without waiting for his approval, I pushed the double doors open slowly as if trying not to startle her. But she jumped either way as soon as it opened. I could hear her tiny gasp from under her breath as our eyes met. I felt her energy wrap around me instantly; she was much more powerful than she was before she was taken to Black Lotus, but I could feel her weakn
Henry's POV*Disclaimer: contains violence, drugs and gunsGunfire erupted behind us as Black Lotus soldiers flooded the chamber."Extraction compromised!" Gray shouted through comms. "You’ve got company everywhere!"We fought claws to bullets to teeth. I tried so hard to push my powers back, but I've been on the edge for so long it threatened to take over. Usually I don't resort to it until the very last because we could get too many casualties, my own fighters in the mix. But through the chaos, I caught it, although faint; her scent came through the world of blood and raw flesh. Her scent was strong, so much richer than I've ever gotten a whiff of her. "I've got her," I breathed. "She's close" "Where?" Ryder demanded. I ignore his question; I know she is close but I don't know how close that is or where it is in this god forsaken camp. I let my nose guide me as we cut through the chaos unto a crossroad near the subway. "Emma," I growled through the link. "Where is she?"Her voice
AZALEA'S POV "uhhh." I stuttered, looking back at Lexa and Justin on the bench."You're not one of Black Lotus, are you?" an older kid, probably about Justin's age or 15, came to the window."Did they do this?" I asked.Were these the children the doctor mentioned earlier? I look back into the room, and there are at least 40 of them in there. I pursed my lips, looking back at the bleak faces of my siblings and the hopelessness in the eyes of the children before me.'Goddess, this would create so many problems,'But I couldn't possibly leave them here and selfishly leave. I would never be able to forgive myself.There was no door handle on the door or keyhole for a key, which is expected in Black Lotus."How many of you are in there?" I asked shakingly.They did a rough head count as fast as they could. My heart sank at the cruel reality that could have happened to Justin and Lexa if Red Fire hadn't planned the emergency exit after Blue Ivy was set on fire."Okay, okay" I mumbled to my
Henry's POVWe arrived at the last noticeable location on Azalea's chip, stealthily each soldier dropped from the glider blending into the greens immediately. We all knew the plan, each team knew what to do and in a matter of minutes I would be reunited with my flower, and of course have Ray's head.The sky was still bruised purple, the forest wrapped in thick silence. One by one, my soldiers dropped from the glider, disappearing into the trees like ghosts. We had trained for this.I landed last.The drone went before us, scouting the perimeter for any change we didn't account for. I set up my snipper and good old fashioned binoculars confirming the security was just as we had predicted. I lay flat against the damp earth, binoculars pressed to my eyes. From a distance, it looked harmless, abandoned warehouses, rusted roofs, broken windows.A lie so clean it was almost beautiful."Perimeter matches projection," I whispered.More accurately with the help of Emma, she had another vision b
AZALEA'S POV"Wake her up Azalea, she's your wolf, wake her up!."I try to concentrate, reaching into the deeps of my mind, finding my happy place, solitude in the mist of a ragging war, stupid right?.But I then hear Eloise cry out again, a large wolf on top of her, blood all over her. I see mom fight
AZALEA POV "Don't you dare fucking touch him!" I shouted, my face red with fury. Lexa starts shouting through the duct tape too."No more shit like that, alright?" He grabs my face with force as if trying to break my jawline.I can only glare at him as he breaks into another monstrous smile. The do
AZALEA'S POVThe whole camp were whispering around me as I walked. I hated being the center of attraction like this, but its what it had come to. I didn't really care, I cared that I had impressed Alpha Henry who thought I was weak. But the consequence that comes with impressing him. Sigh."Just the w
HENRY'S POVI jerk out of the sleeping bag, sweating in the dark of the night.Fuck!.I scuffle around for a glow stick, pointing it over my wrist watch. It says 1 am and I vividly remember falling asleep 10 minutes past 12. I lay still for a few more long minutes, staring blankly at the roof of the te
