Ian I know you are upset, but we shouldn’t do this in front of Madelyn, Everett said slowly and calmly. Ian must be Marcus’s wolf. He turned to look at Ian before turning to look at me. I could tell his wolf was in full control because his eyes were pitch black. His eyes softened slightly until the rogue under him started to try to get away.
He quickly turned his attention back to the rogue. While some guards came to get the other two rogues, Everett made his way to me and blocked my view of Ian and the rogue.
Come on Madelyn you don’t want to see this, Everett said while lifting me. I knew he was right, so I quickly hide my face in his chest while he carried me away from the wolves. Only hearing the sound of a loud growl followed by a scream. I covered my ears to block out the sound because it brought back terrible memories.
Everett carried me all the way to the pack doctor. He quickly made his way to a room where the nurses and doctors were trying to check on me.
I haven’t been to a doctor in years, but I knew they would be able to see all the damage that was done to me. I just followed their instructions and let them poke and stick me. They also ran some tests along with x-rays of my whole body. I am sure Marcus told them to do all of this. I knew he wanted to bring me here when I was ready. I guess after seeing me get slapped around he made the choice for me.
I was just getting settled back in my room where Everett had waited for me to get done with the tests when the doors burst open. I yelped in surprise and went to hide behind Everett. I heard a chuckle come from Everett who turned to face me.
It is all right. It is only Marcus, Everett said while stepping out of the way.
I wasn’t sure what overcame me, but I quickly ran to him and hugged him. I was so happy that he was okay and that he came to save me.
Thank you for coming to save me. I was so worried that they were going to take me away. I tried to fight them off, but they were too strong and I couldn’t, I rambled on while crying into Marcus’s chest. He rubbed my back and tried to reassure me, Hey it is alright. You are safe now. I won’t let anything happen to you. As long as I am around, I won’t let anything happen to you.
We had fallen asleep because it was so late. The doctor had said it would take some time for all the tests to come back anyway. I slowly was waking up to find a sleeping Marcus and Everett sitting in the chairs against the wall. They told me that they didn’t plan to leave my side until the doctor said I could leave. I tried to stand to go to the bathroom when the boys shot up out of their sleep.
What’s wrong ? Are you okay ? Marcus asked while scanning me to see if I was okay. I was only trying to go to the bathroom. You can sit back down. Once I got down in the bathroom, I came back out to see breakfast was brought to us. I quickly sat down and started to eat not realizing just how hungry I was. I made small talk with Marcus and Everett while we ate.
After a while, the doctor came back in with my results. She looked at me with sorrow in her eyes. I figured she would be able to see all my past injuries from where they might not have healed correctly. When the rogues would beat us, usually something ended up broken. There was nothing we could do but hope it would heal quickly enough before the next beating.
I am not sure how to say this, so I suggest you take a seat Alpha, the doctor said to Marcus. He had been standing by my side when she came in. He pulled a chair over to my bed and sat down while holding my hand for comfort. I wasn’t sure if that was more for him or me. Please continue Dr. Lacy, Marcus said while squeezing my hand a little. It was a sweet gesture that I returned.
What I am about to show you is shocking. I am sure Madelyn already knew what most of her injuries were but maybe not the full extent of them. The doctor, who I now know is Dr. Lacy, said while putting my x-ray pictures of the light board. You could see where my bones had been broken and healed and broken again. Almost all of my bones had been broken at some point during those years of hell. I got up to get a closer look at the x-rays. I knew how I got each and every one of those breaks. The one that I remember the most was when my legs got broken the first time. I felt so hopeless because they not only took away my ability to walk but took away any innocents I had left. I will never forget it.
I knew I was going to get in trouble this time. I tried to run away again. Usually, they would beat me till I blacked out, but I had a feeling this time would be different. I knew they were tired of me trying to get free, but I would never stop.
I was thrown back into my cell by the guards. The one who did most of the beatings was Jake. Everyone knew when Jake was around someone was going to get hurt pretty badly. He quickly stepped into my cell before closing the door. I usually didn’t beg, but I was truly terrified of what would happen.
Please don’t hurt me. I promise I won’t try to run anymore, I tried to plead only to be slapped across the face. I quickly lose my balance and fell to the floor.
Begging won’t save you this time little one, Jake said before bending down and punching me in the face. I was used to being hit but not by Jake. It was like his hit were a lot stronger. I felt the taste of blood in my mouth from where he busted my lip. I started to cry but knew there was nothing I could do. He would taunt me while beating me.
No one wants you, kick to the ribs.
You are nothing, punch to the stomach.
No one will love you, punch to the face.
This continued for what felt like hours. I was slowly losing consciousness, but I knew he wouldn’t let me sleep. He would stop long enough for me to recover slightly just to start again.
You know we are tired of you running away so we are going to fix that, Jake said while stomping down onto my legs. I could hear the sound of my bones breaking as I screamed in pain. He continued to do so on my right leg before doing the same to my other. I knew I wouldn’t be able to walk for a while. Jake stood back and looked at me laying on the floor in pain. He seemed almost as if he was proud of what he had done.
He then grabbed me by my hair and started to drag me from my cell. I yelled in pain feeling as though all my hair was being ripped from my scalp. I knew I couldn’t fight back because I had two broken legs and was beaten so badly. He started to drag me to the one room I was hoping I would never go into.
Alright, boys let’s have some fun with this one. She can’t fight back now, Jake said while laughing at me. I realized what he meant and started to try to fight back. I knew I was going to try and fight against them now. But as I tried to move, I screamed in pain from my legs. I knew there was no chance of me escaping what was about to happen to me.
I shook the memory away not wanting to remember the next part. I hadn’t realized I was crying and shaking until Marcus was standing beside me wiping my tears away. Are you okay my dear ? What’s wrong ? Marcus asked while leading me back to the bed and sitting with me.
It was just I was remembering what happened to me. I don’t want to talk about it right now so please don’t ask, I all but pleaded with everyone in the room. I could tell they wanted to know more, but they didn’t ask me. I was thankful and looked to Dr. Lacy to continue with her findings.
Well as you can see, this shows all your broken bones that you have had in the past. I must say, Luna, you are very strong. Most wolves wouldn’t be able to handle that much pain, this caused Marcus to growl and hold me closer to him.
