Possible Trauma Triggers

Twenty minutes later, I stood at the kitchen counter preparing the steaks for the oven. He had gone to the living room and now had a sports game of some sort blaring on the TV. After sliding the tray of meat into the oven, I went to the bathroom to rinse my mouth and wash my face. I took a few deep breaths, trying to hold back the tears that burned behind my eyes as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. What I saw looking back at me was the hollowed-out ver

    Jacob POVPossible Trauma TriggersZane and I stood there watching helplessly as Alex struggled against his restraints. The table shook. I could see where the cuffs were digging into his wrists.“Fine, have it your way. I will start.” Fred says as he starts to slide his free hand up and under the skirt of the woman on his lap. She starts screaming and fighting with everything she has. That is when I notice that her mate mark is starting to turn red.“NOOOOO, Fred, stop. Don’t do this.” Alex screams as he starts to fight harder to get free.“Oh, I am going to do this. The two of you are going to be used as an example of what happens when the people of this pack forget who is in charge. You were all warned that there was no longer going to be mates. Every female in this pack belongs to me to do with as I see fit. No one is fucking them unless I permit them. And the ones I don’t want can be used by the rest of the pack for entertainment. They will all be taught how to be good little subm

  • The Alpha's Disappearing Mate   Chapter 31

    Jacob POVPossible Trauma TriggersThe second we set foot on the pack lands of Alpha Fred Jr., I could sense that there were all kinds of wrong here. We had not seen any patrols along the road on our drive towards the main gate. There had been no one at the large iron gates that stood wide open at the entrance of the pack lands just off the main road. It was like this Fred guy thought that he was invincible or something. It didn’t make sense to me. Most packs put those gates in so the humans that don’t know about our kind don’t accidentally wander onto the lands and see things that they shouldn’t see.On our slow drive up the winding driveway towards the packhouse, we kept an eye out for possible patrols that might stop us. There were none. What we did see just confirmed that things weren’t right. I’m not saying that the people we saw were doing anything wrong. Everyone is entitled to live their life in a way that makes them happy. That being said, as long as all involved are consenti

    Raven POVThe two of us sat at the kitchen table colouring together while we waited for the noodles to cook. After we ate, Emma picked out a movie from the small collection of kid DVDs that I had been able to get for her. I got her comfortable with her blanket on the couch while I tried to figure a way out of here. I tried picking and prying at the lock on my ankle to get the cuff off first. The only thing I accomplished with that effort, though, was giving myself another cut.I found where the chain was attached to a hook in the ceiling, but even standing on a chair I couldn’t reach it well enough. Not that it would have made much of a difference. He had used another padlock like the one on my ankle to attach one of the links of the chain to the eye hook that he had screwed into one of the ceiling beams. I even tried twisting the chain to see if I could get the eye hook to unscrew. But because of my height, I was at the wrong angle and couldn’t get enough leverage.After my failed at

    Raven POVPossible Trauma TriggersI am in my happy place again, floating in the water with the sun shining on my face. I can feel its warmth in contrast to the cool water that my body is suspended in. I can hear the birds singing. They are muffled since my ears are under the water, but it still gives me a sense of calm.But something feels different this time. Not in a bad way. I still feel calmness around me, but it is almost like there is someone here with me. I lay there enjoying the feeling of weightlessness and the small breeze on my face when I hear a voice. It is just a whisper being carried on the breeze, and I almost missed it at first. “Hold on for a little longer Dear, I’m fixing things.” The voice has a sweet melody to it and blends with the bird songs to the point that I’m not even sure I heard it in the first place.I suddenly feel a gentle weight on my arm as if someone is trying to pull me out of the water. I don’t want to leave. This is the only place that he can’t f

    Jacob POVWhen my head finally hit my pillow, I didn’t think that I would dream with how tired I was, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I’m standing at the edge of the lake back home, looking out over the water. I get the feeling that someone is behind me, but I don’t feel threatened. I resist the urge to turn around and just enjoy the view in front of me. The sun is shining, and I can feel its warmth on my face. The birds are singing, and everything feels just right. It’s the calmest I have felt in a long time. It’s one of those perfect summer days that are just made for being outside. That is until I hear a scream pierce the air. The sound is filled with fear and pain. I spin in a circle, trying to pinpoint where it came from. I can’t see anything, but everything has gone quiet. No more birds, and the sun is cloud-covered. The perfect day had been shattered. I stand still listening for movement. Nothing.Then I hear it. The faint sound of music starts to drift on the breeze, and

What I saw looking back at me was the hollowed-out version of what I used to be.I may have come from what the people in my hometown called the trashy family, but I was smart. I had worked hard to show everyone that I was nothing like my parents. That I was going to make something of myself. But if I was so smart, why did I stop to say goodbye to my parents that day? I was leaving for school. I was getting away from them. The only thing I can think of is that I wanted to give them one last chance to acknowledge that they were proud of me. Well, the
