*** Trigger Warning! Abuse and rape in this chapter ***
Reid's POV
I can hardly sit still, I was practically bouncing in my seat with excitement as we approached Ace's pack house. I hope he's down there. I can already taste revenge.
I see Ace walking out of the house as he walks up to me with a smile.
"I'm glad to see you were able to make it," Ace said, reaching his hand out to shake my hand.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world!" I said with a big smile on my face.
"Ready for that revenge?" He said with a smirk.
"Hells yes I am!" I said returning the same evil smirk.
"You know, I was thinking, if it turns out your hybrid is not here, I'll let you have a little fun with one of them if you want to?"
"Really?" I asked, surprised. Feeling the excitement, and anticipation building inside me at the thought.
"Wow man, thanks!" I said, knowing these disgusting hybrids are nothing but killers.
Ace laughs while patting me on the back.
"Come on man, follow me. I'll show you where the fun is at." He said, and I followed Ace with Damien right behind me.
We approach a small building that looks no bigger than a tool shed. It's made of old red bricks all the way around, with a single door in the front.
I give Damien a confused look and he shrugs his shoulders.
I watched Ace unlock the door before entering, and I followed him in. As soon as I walk through the door I see steps leading down quite a ways. 'This makes more sense.' I thought to myself
The closer we get to the bottom, the stronger the stench gets.
"Holy shit it stinks in here!" Damien said as he covered his face with his hand.
"Oh, this is nothing!" Ace said as he looked over his shoulder at us.
"Wait until you get on the other side of this door. Hope you guys don't have a weak stomach." I look back at Damien slightly concerned.
I see the door at the end of the steps and the excitement builds up in me again. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these fuckers! I thought as Ace reached the door.
"All right guys, try not to throw up!" Ace said as he opened the door.
As soon as I walk through the door I'm hit with the most disgusting, vile stench I've ever smelled in my entire life. I almost lost everything in my stomach right then. Unfortunately for Damien, he did. Thank goodness there was a garbage can right at the door as you walked in. He heaved everything up instantly.
"Fuck, that smells aw-" he tried to say before throwing up again.
"Goddess, what the hell is down here?" I asked, trying to keep my stomach down as I covered my nose.
"Hybrids!" Ace says with an evil smile on his face.
I look around and see a long aisle with cells on each side. All the cells have metal bars which I can tell right away are made of silver, and I wouldn't doubt if he has wolfsbane on them as well.
"So, do you know what this hybrid looks like?" he asked.
" I do," I said.
"They showed me a picture they got from the surveillance camera. I'll never forget that fucker's face! I'll know him if I see him." I said as we started walking.
The further I walked, the stronger the stench was. It's awful, you could almost taste it, and there's no way around it.
I stop in front of the first cell and look in. I'm immediately shocked at what I see. I keep slowly walking, looking into each cell and my stomach turns at what I see. Every single person and each of these cells is completely naked. They look like they haven't been fed in a very, very long time. Skin and bones, I've never seen anyone so skinny in my entire life. You can see every single bone protruding from their bodies. This is definitely the definition of skin and bones! Most of them are laying on the ground. Either unconscious or have a faraway look in their eyes, almost as if they are not there.
The ones that aren't on the ground, are hanging from chains against the back wall. Not only are these hybrids' skin and bones, but they're also covered from head to toe and scabs, bruises, cuts, and blood. Every single one looks like they've been severely beaten. Some of them look like they've been put through a fucking grinder.
There's nothing inside these cells for the hybrids. No bed, no toilet, not even a fucking bucket to shit in! The cells are filled with human waste.
I hear a sound as we slowly walk down the aisle. I hear a grunting sound. As we approached the cell, I looked in, to see one of the guards going to town on a hybrid. He's fucking the shit out of this poor soul. The hybrid isn't even making a sound. He's just hanging from the wall, taking it while the guard violently pounds into him.
I stare into the cell horrified... Things are becoming quite clear, this isn't what I thought it was.
"Dude, this shit ain't right! We need to get the fuck out of here! I know you want revenge, but this,… this is not revenge, this is not.. this is fucked up! This is wrong in so many ways!" Damien says through the link.
"I know man. I can hardly breathe, and it's not because of the stench. I can't believe he's doing this to these people. I… I don't even know what to say." I said, unsure of how to respond, or even how to wrap my head around what is going on.
"We need to get the fuck out of here now!" Damien said.
"I know, but we can't just leave. Just give me a minute, I'll think of something." I said, trying to think of an excuse to get the hell out of here so we don't raise any flags.
We finally make it to the end and I look into the last cell on the right. I feel my wolf push forward, trying to look into the cell, which I thought was strange. I step closer, looking in.
What I saw made my blood run cold. My stomach turns violently, and it takes everything in me not to throw up.
I see a naked hybrid laying near the back right corner. He's curled up in a ball. His skin is so pale, so filthy. I can't tell what color his hair is because it's so dirty with both dirt and human waste. His body is so badly beaten and bloody. Bruises, scabs, and open wounds littered his body. I can make out every bone under his skin. It looks like they were trying to starve him to death. Either that or cause him to die from his wounds.
"Mate!" My wolf says quietly in my head, before whimpering and receding to the back of my head.
I slowly back away from the cell shaking my head.
"No,... No!... This...This can't be!"
I said as I continued to back away, bumping into Damien.
"Is this the one?"
I hear Ace ask, and my head snaps in his direction. I look at him with wide eyes.
"No!"
"Wanna have a little fun with him?" Ace asked, wiggling his eyebrows, and I felt my stomach churn again.
I back away, slowly walking backward.
"No, this can't be!... This isn't how it's supposed to be! This isn't... No!" I said before turning around and racing down the aisle. I rushed to the door, and raced up the stairs as fast as I could, flying through the door at the top of the stairs before crumpling to the ground. I fall to the ground, on my hands and knees, and throw up. I heave and heave for what feels like forever.
I stayed on my hands and knees, my chest rapidly rising and falling as I tried to catch my breath. I feel Damien touch my back and I jerk away.
I look at the door to see Ace walking out, shutting and then locking it.
"Ah, you too huh," Ace said with a slightly sympathetic look, seeing that I just threw up.
"I, I have to... I have to go!" I said as I pry myself off the ground.
Aaaâ
"I'm sorry, I have to go," I said again before turning and walking as fast as I could toward the car.
I quickly climb into the passenger side and Damien gets in right after me. Neither of us said a word as we drove away. I tried not to think about what I was leaving behind as we left Ace's territory. I tried not to think about everything I just saw, and what I felt when I looked into that last cell.
The more I tried not to think about it, the more I did.
After driving for a little while, Damien finally breaks the silence.
"Are you going to tell me what that was about?"
.
Reid's POV "Are you going to tell me what that was about?" Damien asked. "I don't understand, how could the Moon Goddess do this to me?" I said as I stared out the windshield in front of me. "What? What are you talking about?" Damien asked. "I hate hybrids! She knows I hate hybrids!... Why would she do this to me?" I said as I ran my hands through my hair before running it down my face. "Who? What are you talking about? You're making no sense." Damien said, confusion dancing across his face as he glanced at me. "Is this about the one in the last cell?" "Yeah," I said quietly, my stomach churning again. "Man, you gotta tell me,...what's going on? You're making me nervous now." "It was my mate." I jerk forward as the tires screech, and the car jerks off to the side. The car finally comes to a stop as I grip the dashboard and my door. "Are you fucking kidding me!? That was your mate and you just left him back there? What the fuck is wrong with you?" I looked over at Damien a
**Trigger Warning! Abuse and rape*** Reid's POV I called Ace and apologized for leaving the way I did and asked if I could come back. Of course, he was more than happy to have me come back. I however did fail to mention that I was bringing the gang along. "I can't believe you guys made me sit back here!" I hear Xander complain from the very back end of the SUV. There were six of us, and the SUV only seats five, so Xander was stuck sitting in the back end. We obviously couldn't take more than one car, since I didn't tell Ace everyone else was coming. As we pull up to the pack house I see Ace walking out of the door with a smile on his face. His smile slowly drops when he looks into the car, and notices it's not me and Damien this time. Instead, he sees my father and I in the front seat. His head cocks to the side, as he slowly approaches the car. I ignore the sound of Xander falling to the ground, as he climbs out of the back end of the SUV. "It's good to see you back, but I'm
*** Trigger Warning! *** Reid's POV After passing two more guards doing the same thing, we finally made it to the end. The last cell on the right. As I approach the cell, my heart hammers in my chest, and my palms feel cold and sweaty. My wolf pushes forward, trying to look into the cell with me. I look into the cell and see he's still laying in the same exact spot. He hasn't moved an inch in the last several hours. My chest tightens, and my stomach drops. Oh Goddess, is he even still alive? If he was dead before I found him earlier, I would have never known my mate died. But if he died after I saw him, I would have felt it. But it would have been faint, since I haven't touched him, or made eye contact with him yet, nor have I talked to him. Our connection is barely formed, hanging on by the smallest thread since I only laid eyes on his unconscious body. "Well, here we are!" Ace said as he stuck the key in the door before opening it. He looks into the cell, "Yup, I'm going t
Reid's POV As we pulled up to the pack house I linked Damien, asking him to fill my bathtub for me. He desperately needs a bath, not just for the fact that he's so filthy, but I want the dirt out of his wounds. My dad opens the door for me and I climb out with my mate tucked in my arms tightly. The movement of getting out of the car woke him. His eyes blink open and he begins looking around. I can see the fear in his eyes as soon as he sees other pack members walking around. He clings to me, holding on for dear life while his body violently trembles. His eyes dart around as he whimpers. I can hear his rapid breathing as tears roll down his face. I look around when I hear several gasps and realize people have stopped to look at him. Some look at him shocked, while others look at him while covering their mouth. I looked down and realized the blanket had fallen off of him, and they could see how bad his body was. I quickly bent over, grabbed the blanket, and draped it over him. I
Reid's POVI took the towel and moved it around drying him off before standing up and heading into my room.I walked over to the bed and laid him down before I walked back into the bathroom. I grabbed the first aid kit then walked back over to him, slowly sitting on the edge trying not to scare him.I applied some peroxide on a cotton pad then brought it up to his cheek. He flinched back as I approached his face with my hand and I paused."I just want to clean your wound so it doesn't get any worse than it already is. It might sting a little bit but I'm not trying to hurt you."I slowly move my hand forward again, dabbing his cheek. He hissed and flinched once the peroxide got into the wound on his cheek."I'm sorry, I know it hurts but I have to clean it out okay." I proceeded to move forward again and this time he let me clean
Reid's POV I was just coming out of the bathroom when my dad knocked on the door twice before entering with a tray of food. Julian instantly grabbed the pillow and held it in front of him tightly as he looked at my dad terrified. It almost looked as if he was holding the pillow trying to hide behind it. My dad instantly noticed this and froze. He glanced at me then back at Julian. "Julian, it's okay this is my dad Aiden. He means you no harm, he won't hurt you. He just brought some food up for you." I said trying to calm him down. My dad slowly approached setting the tray on the table next to the bed. My dad turned to me and said, "I think it's probably best if I leave you too alone. He probably needs some more time to get used to you." He glances back at Julian, giving him a smile before turning and leaving the bedroom. I take a deep breath and release it before walking over and grabbing the food. I smile when I realize it's pizza night. The tray is loaded with different vari
Julian's POV I woke up to a strange sensation on my shoulder. I felt this tingling sensation running from my shoulder, down my arm and threw my chest. I bit my lip so I don't make a sound as I roll onto my back. The pain from last night is unbearable. I know better than to make a sound. They want you to cry, they want you to scream out in pain. They thrive on it. It only excites them more. Most people here have learned to suppress their fears and cries. Even those that have only been here for a short time. But for some reason I have not.... It's not like I haven't been here for that long. I actually have. Probably longer than most people. I was born here.My mother was captured while pregnant and gave birth to me in this hell hole. She was tortured while pregnant with me. Then once she had me they left her alone for a short time. Until I was strong enough to not be on her teets. Then they ripped me from my mother and continue to torture her until I was strong enough. Then they
Julian's POV I looked at my body after he walked away. He said he cleaned my wounds and had to bandage them. I have these strange things all over my body now covering the wounds. They never cared about fixing my wounds. I've never had anybody try to make them better. Only make them worse and add more. I was so confused by his actions. I can't figure him out. I keep expecting him to hurt me but he hasn't yet. Instead he does this, try to fix them. "I know these are probably not going to fit you, but I thought you might want to put something on." The man said. I didn't understand what he meant. Does he want me to put that stuff on my body like he does? He place them in front of me and I look at him, then back at the stuff he placed in front of me. " It's clothes, You can go ahead and put them on, it's okay." The man said. Still not wanting to talk because I'm not really used to using my voice. I'm not used to being allowed to use my voice. I points at the clothes then at myself.
