What the fuck are you saying ? Axel growled.
Wayne lowered the images and appeared disturbed, adjusting his glasses and forcing a hard swallow as his eyes flickered between us.
What I’m saying is, he paused, a grimace finding his face, for whatever reason, her mother preformed a c-section and completely ruined her uterus.
His words finally caught up to me and I felt the suppressed memory resurface, the nausea twisting my stomach.
I shoved myself away from Axel just as I felt vile shoot up my throat, making me fall to the ground and throw up into the grass.
There’s a reason I’ve forgotten.
The night I was sure to die.
*
Mama, it wasn’t my fault ! I screamed until my lungs couldn’t tighten anymore, causing me to fall mute as I tried to scream out more. Doing so eased the pain.
I felt the hot, splitting sensation from the dull knife as she pressed it into my abdomen and slowly dragged it horizontally. I inhaled heavily, instantly sobbing and feeling my muscles uncontrollably tighten beneath the blade.
It cut through my body and I couldn’t stop screaming and sobbing.
The pain became so much that block spots altered my vision and everything blacked out.
When I reopened my eyes, I was still
Hyperventilating with dried tear stains on both cheeks. My head weakly raised and I looked down, choking on my returning tears.
I couldn’t feel anything she was doing anymore. It was simply the sight that sent me into my fit of sobs.
There was so much blood and my skin was no longer in place. She carved into me and is now knuckle deep inside of my abdomen. I swore I felt her touching my insides, but everything from my waist down has officially turned numb.
I’m going to die.
This is what happens when you want to be a dirty fucking whore, she snapped, then I unexpectedly felt a familiar sharp, hot pain rip into a much more sensitive piece of me and I screamed hoarsely.
It wasn’t my fault ! I shrieked.
The knife wasn’t cutting into flesh anymore and that was clear. It was cutting into one of my organs.
I turned my head and immediately threw up from the pain, silencing myself. More blackness found my vision and I closed my eyes to welcome my death.

I stared down at my vomit before closing my eyes, refusing to cry and fighting to keep my breathing under control.
The last time I puked was then, and the feeling of doing so reminded me of the pains she inflicted onto me. I thought she was saving me, that she was helping me, that she loved me, but she was doing none of those.
She did irreversible damage…
To end my pregnancy.
I’m so sorry she’s done this to you, Axel crouched down and pulled me into his lap, stroking the back of my head. I buried my face into his collar and inhaled his scent, instantly feeling my tension ease.
She killed it, I mumbled, turning to look up at him, then glancing at Wayne. They stared at me, concern and confusion clearly displayed across their features.
She did it to kill my baby, I whispered, meeting Axel’s gaze, then regretting my words. His heart visibly shattered and his hold around me loosened, his eyes darkening into a deep golden color.
What ? He asked, sounding eerily calm, and I frowned at his change of eye color.
Why are his eyes the color of Marshmallow’s ? He looks like Calix now, despite a few minor differences.
What does that mean ?
He suddenly pulled me up and approached Wayne, handing me off with a deadly glare directed at him, watch her, he snapped, walking off before I could utter a single word.
Where are you going ? Wayne called out, holding onto me anyway.
To do something I should’ve done from the start, he snarled in reply, never slowing his walk.
Is he mad at me ?
I tried to go after him but Wayne pulled me back, his wolf is in full control, it’d be wise to leave him alone to cool off. When Dax is angry… he trailed off and I glued my eyes onto Axel’s back, God, help whoever he’s after.
I have to calm him, I said, slipping free and running after him. Wayne yelled behind me yet I continued, seeing Axel disappear around the side of the building full of cells.
Dax ! I called, rushing up to the building then coming to a stop after rounding the side and seeing nobody. Confusion consumed me until my eyes fell on cellar doors and goosebumps infected my body.
Something’s telling me not to go down there.
But, I need to calm him down.
Axel ? Dax ? I asked, slowly taking steps toward the creepy doors after nobody responded.
I really shouldn’t…
Taking a deep breath, I grabbed onto the handle and opened the door, walking down the steps when a woman unexpectedly screamed.
You should be thanking me !
I froze.
It was a voice I could never forget.
Slowly, I descended the stairs and hid in the shadow behind the wall, peeking past the doorway. I saw Axel towering over my mother, his eyes still piercing yellow as they danced with golden flames of fury.
For you to have the fucking audacity to dare tell me I should thank you is the sickest fucking thing I’ve ever heard ! You ruined her life, now I’m going to ruin the rest your pathetic, he paused, gripping her by the hair on the side of her head and lifting her off of the ground, miserable, he added, and she grunted in pain, clawing at his arm, worthless life, he spat, using his free hand to grab both of her wrists to stop her from scratching up his arm.
Loud snaps filled the room and I choked on my breath at the unexpected action, hearing her shriek as he forcefully threw her down.
She extended her arms to catch herself, forgetting about her now broken wrists until she landed on them and they gave out immediately with another loud pop. Her face hit the cracked concrete and she screamed out in agony.
My heart was beating rapidly and I couldn’t pry away my gaze from her sobbing figure, waiting for the guilt and sadness to crash down on me at her pain, but it never came.
That’s when I realized I was smiling.
She will never love you, my mother sneered through her heaving breaths, holding her bruised, swollen hands in her lap and glaring up at him. Nevertheless, her dignity didn’t waver, you are a mutt ! You and her are so different, Moretti, bringing her into your world will get her killed and you know it ! You can’t possibly believe she actually loves you ! If anyone’s pathetic and miserable it’s you !
He went silent, clenching his jaw as she threw her head back and cackled mockingly, her crying coming to a quick stop as she twisted the situation back on him, a strong werewolf Alpha head over heels for a weak human girl, she taunted in a way that always used to make me shiver in fear, yet now fills me with anger, she only thinks she loves you because you showed her kindness. That little bitch doesn’t know what love-
