Rose POV Death is nothing like I have imagined it to be. At first it was nothing but darkness and complete silence. After what seemed to be an eternity, I started to hear muffled noise. What is that sound? Where am I? I started to panic and praying to the moon goddess that I am still not at Blackforest. After what happened between Jackie, Alpha Damien, and myself, I knew they were going to torture me until they kill me. I replayed the incident in my head over and over again trying to figure out who the other guy was that pulled Jackie away from me. Maybe he is Alpha Damien's beta. When I heard his voice it made my stomach do flips. I'm so mad at Jackie because if my eyes wouldn't of been swollen shut I could have seen the face of the angelic voice that I craved to hear again. Why can't anything ever go right in my life? What did I do to make the moon goddess hate me so much? I always dreamed when I died I would be with my parents once again. I ran around in t

Jackson POV A week has passed and Rose still hasn't woken up. The IV fluids have helped flush the high amounts of wolfsbane and mercury in her system. Dr. Monroe has been giving her IV nutrition and her coloring has pinked up a lot. All of the bruises covering her body were healing at a fast rate. We still don't know why she hasn't woken up. I was pacing around the room when Dr. Monroe came in. "Good morning beta. How is she doing?" She asked me. "She still hasn't moved an inch or shown any signs that she is going to wake up." I told her defeatedly. "I came to take some blood and check her vitals. I'm going going to increase her nutrition to wide open. I had to start off slow or it would shock her system." She said before walking over to the bed. I stood at the end of the bed so I wasn't in her way. I watched closely as she checked Rose's temperature and her blood pressure. I let out a small growl when she lifted Rose's nightgown to check on h

Rose POV The look on Damien's and Jackson's faces confused me. Has the moon goddess  never spoke to them. I furrowed my brows and slightly tilted my head to the side and watched them. I watched as their eyes glazed over, they were mindlinking.  "What do you mean were the ones the moon goddess told you about?" Damien asked. I looked away from him. Can I trust them to tell them? She told me to open up to them. "You can trust us. It will stay between the three of us." Jackson spoke. The looks in their eyes told me I could trust them. My heart wants to tell them but my mind says to stay away. "I know you have had a hard life. If I could take it all away I would. You can tell us anything. You are ours to love and protect, we will never let anything happen to you again." Damien said. I could hear the pleading in his voice. It did things to my heart that scare me. "You can trust them love, they won't hurt you." A female voice said.

Damien POV I tried so hard to keep Ace under control while Rose was talking to her wolf for the first time ever, but when she started talking about her abuse, my control started to slip. I lost complete of him when Rose started yelling at her wolf. "The moon goddess told me the same thing. To open up to them. Let them show me what love is. But how do I know they are different?" She yelled. Ace let out a thunderous and murderous growl.  Ace shoved me to the back of my head. He's trembling tremendously and I fought against him so he doesn't fully turn. I peered through his eyes to see Rose shaking and crying. She was trying to climb up the bed and away from us but the headboard stopped her.  "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" Rose started screaming at me as tears flowed freely down her face. My heart broke seeing her like this. I never wanted her to be afraid of me. Ace was too blind with rage, that he wasn't seeing what he is doing to her.

Damien POV I would be lying if said Jewels' underlining threat that she will protect Rose from her mates, didn't hit a nerve. I would never do anything to hurt Rose, but I understand where she is coming from given Rose's past. I wish I could torture everyone that has laid a finger on her, especially Maximus. Jewels' spit-fire attitude blew my mind, she is the complete opposite of Rose. It makes me wonder who Rose really is underneath her scars and trauma. Just when I thought Jewels couldn't hurt me anymore than I already was, she told us that she saw all of Rose's memories when she woke up. I knew it was bad from the scars that covered her body but it really hit me when Jewels said even she doesn't know how Rose fought through it and stayed alive. That's when I felt my control on Ace start to slip. Ace's anger is strong and intense as a hot poker being heated well beyond the right temperature. He became lost in a trance on all the ways he could torture and killed everyone that eve
