LOGINEva’s POV
I forced my head to nod. “Mm.”
“Good.” he said and finally walked away.
My eyelids shut on their own as tears slipped down my cheeks. My whole body was hurting but I knew I had to work through the pain or more would come. So I got dressed and managed to get downstairs to continue my chores. By the time I finished, it was already midnight and I was exhausted.
I went to my room and found that it had been destroyed. That didn't surprise me. The beta’s daughter, Nelly, and her friends liked to come in here and trash it. I only thanked the goddess that they didn’t destroy my only blanket. Otherwise I would be freezing to death.
My head hit the pillow and the next thing I knew my alarm was going off. It was now 4 am. Liam’s and Jack's eighteenth birthday. Jack is Nelly’s twin brother and the pack's future Beta.
The thought of him catching me alone sent chills down my spine. Only God knows what he would do to me.
I quietly slipped into the bathroom and took my shower. I tried as best as I could to wash my wounds from yesterday but they were still raw and hurt. I got out and had my towel wrapped around me when Jack stepped in holding something.
“Well, aren’t you going to wish me a happy birthday? I just came to see if you were my mate; unfortunately, you are not. It still won’t stop me from having you though. Liam and I have a special surprise for you tonight, look forward to it.”
He stepped closer to me and started running his hands over my exposed arms. “Slave, why don’t we have a sneak peek of what is to come tonight? Liam told me about your punishment and to say I was jealous and wanted you for myself.”
I stood frozen.
He started to pull on my towel, but I held tighter to it. He didn’t stop until it was gone, and I was completely naked in front of him. I was trying to cover myself, but he pushed me against the wall and pinned my hands over my head.
“I don’t know if I can wait until tonight, I may just have to take you now. Can you feel how hard I am because of you?” He said, grinding himself on my leg. He moved his knee between my legs and forced them apart.
“Please don’t do this Jack. You can be better than this. I don’t want this.” I told him as I started crying.
“Liam would kill me if he knew I took you in the showers but there is nothing about using your mouth.”
He grabbed my neck and forced me down on my knees. He moved his hand from my neck to my hair and gripped it so tight I thought he would rip it out. He undid his pants with his free hand and pulled himself out and tried to force it in my mouth, but I wouldn’t open up.
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way, you choose,” he growled at me.
I just shook my head no at him.
“Don't blame me for this.” He brought his knee to my nose and broke it. I gasped for air through my mouth, and he took that second to slam himself into my mouth.
I was powerless to stop him as I couldn’t see with my eyes watering and couldn’t breathe with him shoved in me until he was done and let me go.
I fell to the ground trying to catch my breath. B***d was coming out of my nose.
He leaned down. “Goddess I’ve wanted to do that for a long time. I can’t wait for tonight when I can have the rest of you.” With that, he threw some clothes at me. “You have to look presentable tonight. We will be having a lot of guests.”
He smirked and left. And I decided that if I got lucky tonight, I would leave and never look back. I don’t care if I became a rogue, it was worth it. I vowed that one day someway somehow, I would get my revenge on these people.
Everything was set up and at night the party began. I was walking around filling drinks and keeping things clean when I smelled something so refreshing. Cedarwood and pine. But it faded as fast as it came.
I was left alone for most of the night and as things wrapped up, I was going to hide in the forest that surrounded the pack. I was hoping to avoid Jack’s promise.
I made it to the clearing when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see Jack with a look of pure evil on his face.
It was now or never. So, I ran as fast as I could. But I was no match for him as he easily caught me and threw me on the ground.
He was pissed and wanted to cause harm. He grabbed my leg with such force that the bone easily broke. I refused to scream despite how painful it was because I didn't want to give him the satisfaction.
He landed a few blows to my face to keep me subdued. He started pulling my skirt up and my panties down and at that moment, I wasn’t going to let this happen again. I did the only thing I could think of. I screamed for everything I was worth.
“Shut up b***h. There is no escaping this. You will be mine to do what I want with.”
He continued to land blows to my face and ribs. I am pretty sure some are broken. He then went to my throat and started to squeeze. I was seeing stars and not far from passing out.
All the fight I had in me was leaving, I couldn’t do much. He was going to kill me tonight and I had already made peace with that. I was ready to see my parents again and to have this torture of a life end. I didn’t want to be in pain again every day.
He let go of my throat and I tried to gulp in as much air as I could but he had ripped my skirt up and shredded my shirt and bra.
“It’s unfortunate that you’re the pack slave because you really are beautiful Eva. If you hadn't killed your parents you could have easily been someone in the pack.”
I just laid there and let him do what he wanted, hoping it would kill me. His fingers had entered my body and were thrusting in and out. He was breathing hard, and he was rubbing himself against my leg.
I could feel how hard he was, and I knew what was coming but I had nothing left inside me anymore. No fight, no will to live. I was a human shape of nothingness.
As fast as it started it ended as he went flying off me. I could hear people yelling but my vision was slowly going black as the refreshing scent of cedarwood and pine hit my nose again.
Eva's POV “You were. You needed the rest.”I nodded. For the first time in a long time, I had slept without waking up screaming. Maybe because I knew they were beside me. Maybe because I knew I wasn't alone anymore. Whatever the reason, I was grateful.We eventually made our way to the dining hall.Theon was already there.The moment he saw me, his eyes immediately scanned my face. “You okay?”I nodded.He stood and pulled me into a hug. “I missed you.”“You were gone for a few hours.”“Too long.”Nathan laughed. “I told her the same thing.”Theon looked at him. “Did you?”Nathan nodded. “Of course.”We sat down together and started eating. Theon’s parents and his sister were there too.But unlike usual, nobody was talking much.They kept looking at me in pity.I hated it. I didn't want their pity. I didn't want people looking at me like I was broken. I wanted them to accept me and see me as Eva. Not the abused girl from the Crescent Pack.I guessed Theon's dad and mom Luna must hav
Eva’s POVBefore I could even stand up, both of my mates had surrounded me and pulled me into a hug. The moment their arms wrapped around me, everything I had been holding inside broke.I started sobbing. And completely lost control.Everything I had seen and forced to relive came crashing down on me at once.Theon was quick to pick me up. He didn't say anything. He just scooped me into his arms and carried me out of the room. Nathan followed closely behind us.I buried my face against Theon's chest as I cried. I couldn't stop.When we reached the packhouse, and then my room, Theon gently placed me on the bed.“Rest, little mate.”I grabbed his hand quickly. “Please don't leave me.”Theon looked down at me.“I can't be alone right now,” I whispered. “I need both of you.”Neither of them hesitated. They climbed into bed. Nathan settled on one side while Theon moved to the other. Nathan wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me against him.Theon gently lifted my head and rested it
Moon's POVThe council leader looked at me. “The council should have made more of an effort to find you when your parents died. We had been in contact with your parents because they knew that you were special and wanted us to be aware in case something happened to them.”I felt Eva tense inside our mind.The council leader continued. “We did fail you on this, and I hope that you can accept our sincere apologies, Moon.”I didn't know what to say. For years, Eva had believed that nobody had cared. Now we were learning that her parents had actually tried to make sure someone would protect her if something happened to them. They had known she was special and tried to protect her even after they were gone.The thought made Eva emotional. I felt tears forming in our eyes.The council leader stood up. “The council is going to step into the next room while we deliberate, but please stay seated. I don't think this will take long.”The four council members stood and walked toward the adjoining
Moon’s POVListening to what they all had to say about Eva was horrible. But what I planned on doing to them was just as bad. I was going to go up to that table and hold my head high. I wouldn’t be humiliated any longer.“We just need to hear from Eva and then we will break up again while the council members rule on an outcome for each accused wolf. Eva, can you please come forward and tell us your account of what has been said?”I was standing up while trying to stay strong when both of my mates stood up with me. Each of them grabbed my hand. I turned and looked at both of them.“Thank you but I need to do this by myself, please stay in your seats,” I said.“Now, Eva, you have heard what the three people accused have said and now you can tell us your side of things.”I put my head down. I needed to focus to make this work. When I raised my head and opened my eyes. They were glowing. And everyone in the room were gasping. “I am not Eva, I am her wolf, Moon. I will be the one up here
Moon's POV “Jack, do you have anything else you want to say?”“Yes, when this is over with, I want that b***h prosecuted for everything she has done. My dad and sister are dead because of her and her lies.”“Thank you, Jack. You may go back to your seat.”“Liam can you please come up.”He was the same as Jack. Shackled at the wrist and ankles and had a guard on each side of him. He wouldn’t look at anyone. Even after he sat down, he continued to look down. Was he feeling remorse for what happened? Not that it would change the outcome.“Liam, you are charged with multiple accounts of rape, kidnapping, and torture. Can you please tell us your account of these things?”“Everything that Jack said is the truth. I don’t have anything else to add to that part of it. But for the other accusation of rape, it should be her on trial. She has once again lied and hurt an omega and so she was sent up to my father’s office for punishment. My father had told me that since I would be taking over the
Moon's POV Luna Elsa cleared her throat before starting. “She was a child when she was brought to the pack house. I think…nine years old. She had just killed her parents and It was an awful sight. She tried to lie about it by saying they were attacked but there was no evidence of anyone else there.Our Beta, who was killed by Alpha Theon, took her to the cells until we could determine how much of a danger she was to the pack. My husband, the Alpha, decided that if we fed her wolfsbane it would keep her calm and she wouldn’t be a threat. She was given food, a room, and anything she desired. She did nothing but lie and hurt the other pack members. We thought that by punishing her she would change, but it didn’t help. She wasn't forced to do any chores and was treated better than anyone in the house. Those so-called injuries she received were all self-inflicted. And when this is all over, I want everyone involved trialed for my husband’s death and also the beta and his daughter.”She h
