Avyaane's pov
I numbly walked with the Alpha's as they led me towards their waiting SUV outside the hospital. The discharge papers were processed very quickly and a nurse had handed me my clothes, freshly washed and ironed, to wear. The Alpha's never left the room, leering at me as I slowly took off the flimsy hospital gown and put on my clothes. I felt their eyes ravage my naked body but I refused to look up, to look at them.
I was theirs now. In word and in writing. My father had signed the papers giving my off as property to the Alphas, sanctioning them to do with me whatever they pleased. I had ready the papers twice, going over the words in disbelief. I stared at my father's words and signature in shock. And then in anger. The good for nothing bastard.
In a way, I was glad to be rid of him once and for all but I knew it wasn't for the better. It was like jumping from a frying pan into a big,roaring open flame. With my father, at least I knew what to expect. Even him signing me off as property, however shocking wasn't far from expectations. He never valued me before, why the hell would I think he had suddenly grown a heart.
With the Alpha's though, I didn't know what to expect. They were ruthless, unforgiving. And to make it worse, now they had a reason to hate me more. I had no idea what my new life had in store for me now. I would live in the castle and certainly as their mate, my needs would be taken care of and I would hardly hi hungry or lack anything but I would be a prisoner in everything but name.
The ride back to the castle was mostly quiet. Each of us seemed lost in our own thoughts. Of the four, Chad looked the least pleased about the situation, Blair was filled with pent up rage and vengeance threatening to burst forth at any moment, Logan was the most pleased, looking over at me from time to time and smiling wickedly, while Killian… It was hard to tell with him. He seemed pleased but for a different reason and i wished I knew what it was.
At the castle, the maids showed me to my room and i quickly freshened up, washing the smell of the hospital from my skin and hair. New clothes were provided and some of my old things had been shoved into a box and transported to the room. I felt the full weight of my situation dawn on me as I looked sadly at the old, beat up box. I might never get to see my father again, that wasn't the problem, but i was also never going to return to that house ever again. It made me a little sad as the memories i had of mother seemed to slip further away. My old life was gone. For good.
I pushed the box deep into the walk in closet and just as I shut the doors to the closet, the door to my room flung open. Logan stood there, his tall and huge frame fully blocking the doorway.
“I think I should get first taste. Don't you?” He snorted.
My stomach sank to my knees as he stalked towards me, enjoying every minute of the hunt.
“Don't even try to think of doing anything funny” He growled as he continued to walk towards me and I took several steps backwards. “Every possibly dangerous weapon has been removed from the room and as you'll see, we're fresh out of pistols” He grimmed proudly at his lame joke.
My back was pinned to the wall now as there was no where else to go. He grabbed both my breasts with his hands and squeezed them painfully. His thumbs rolled over my nipples as he lowered his mouth to my ears. “Oh, all the nasty things I'm going to do to you, bitch”
His deep voice in my ears sent a shiver down my spine. It was revolting. I should feel disgusted but as his hands continued to rub my nipples and pull them and his teeth found my earlobes and bit into them, I began to feel a wetness pooling between my legs. He growled with hunger and tore my shirt open to reveal my nipples standing up straight.
“You like it. Fucking bitch” He snarled.
Grabbing my hair, he tossed me onto the bed. My whimpering only seemed to arouse him more and he fell on top of me, his mouth finding my nipples and sucking hungrily while his hands found their way up my thighs. I moaned with desire as the same feeling from four days ago enveloped me. He was my mate afterall. So were the rest of them and I ached to have him inside me. To have them all ravage me, take their fill. I pictured Killian fucking my throat while Logan sucked my nipples. I pictured Chad thrusting into me, emptying himself into me. I felt my wetness run down my legs.
“What the hell!” I heard a voice exclaim from the door and suddenly, Logan was off me, pulled by a disgusted looking Chad.
“What is wrong with you, bro?” Logan yelled, shoving Chad in the chest.
“We didn't agree on this” Chad growled, shoving Logan back.
I quickly got up from the bed and pulled the shred pieces of my shirt together.
“What's there to agree on? She's ours” Logan said, spitting mad.
“We have to agree on how to share her first. You don't just take her when you want to” Chad said weakly.
“And who made the rules, huh?” Logan challenged coming nose to nose with Chad. “You don't tell me what to do, bro” He snarled quietly.
“Really guys? It hasn't even been up to an hour” Killian's voice came from the door.
Avyaane's POVThe heavy downpour of rain did nothing to quell my screams as my father beat me up mercilessly and without remorse with his favorite stick for not opening the door fast enough after one of his drunken sprees.“Pease, father, I’m sorry.” I pleaded for him to stop to the extent that my voice was little more than an agonized whisper, but he didn’t listen. In fact, he looked like he was enjoying beating the crap out of me.“You stupid bitch,” he spat as he hit me again, strategically avoiding my face as he usually did because my face was his source of income these days. I honestly wished he could just mark my face and disfigure it, but I knew he wouldn’t; it was his precious merchandise after all.“Please!” I coughed, my entire body stinging with pain.“How dare you keep me waiting? Are you trying to follow in your mother’s footsteps like a whore?” He spat, his face red with anger.If he continued to hit me, I was sure I’d die this time, as I could no longer feel the pain of
Avyaane's POVWhen I got to school, all I wanted to do was blend in as much as possible, but of course my wishes went unanswered because, as soon as I stepped into the gate, I was bathed in water that smelled like it had been left to marinate for days at room temperature, after it was used to wash fish or any other sea food.“There’s our favorite little stupid puppy; I didn’t think you’d have the nerve to come back to school.” A familiar voice said so, and a bunch of other voices around her laughed.I let out a sigh as I sat down on the floor, afraid to look at Allison in the eye. That would probably only result in a beating, and I was getting tired of being beaten up.Allison was the daughter of the Beta of the Black Moon Pack, and she was one of the people my father wanted me to please to get good graces from her father. She was the most beautiful girl on campus and the most entitled. She got away with anything due to her beauty and popularity, and it irked me, but I couldn’t do any
Avyaane's POVAllison looked like she had seen a ghost soon after Chad's words dropped like venom.“She doesn’t deserve your sympathy, Chad. She’s a liar and a dirty whore,” she spat.“Shut the fuck up and get out.” Chad growled and began to press against my chest, trying to get the water out of my lungs.The more he pressed, the more I wondered in my delirious state. He hated my guts and my very existence, so why was he helping me? And why at the expense of Allison?!I coughed and sputtered, finally expelling the last of the pool water from my lungs. As my senses fully returned, I became aware of Chad kneeling beside me, his expression unreadable."Wh-why...why did you save me?" I managed to rasp out between gasping breaths.Chad's jaw clenched minutely. "Let's just say I didn't want your death on my conscience."A bitter, ragged laugh escaped my lips. "Since when did you grow a conscience where I'm concerned?"His eyes flashed dangerously. "Watch your tone. I may have just saved you
Avyaane's POVThey led me back to my small apartment amidst my protests, and once inside, Logan and Blair quickly started to rummage through my belongings, pulling out every personal item they could get their hands on.My breath caught in my throat when Killian deliberately opened my drawer of undergarments.“Look what we have here,” he cackled, holding up a pair to Blair and Logan, who had stopped what they were doing, “the curviest set of lingerie I've ever set my eyes on.”Logan lets out a sneer, snatching the lingerie away from Killian, while I stand unable to say anything, wishing the ground would open and swallow me.“Too bad they end up getting ripped away from her body by the pack's drunkards and cheating married men.”I heard him say, and I shrank back against the wall, arms wrapped protectively around myself as they advanced. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from their leering eyes and vile comments. Before I could react, Killian had me pinned against the bed, his w
Avyaane's POV"You're my mate?!" Chad's voice rang out, thick with surprise and an undercurrent of possession that sent a shiver down my spine.I recoiled from him, my back pressing against the solid forms of his brothers as they crowded around me. Logan, Killian, and Blair - the very ones who had made my high school years a living hell through their relentless bullying and torment.How could this be happening? How could the cruelest twist of fate bind me eternally to these monsters as their mate?"That's right, little wolf," Logan purred, his hot breath fanning over my neck as his hands gripped my upper arms in a bruising hold. "You're ours now. No escaping."A panicked whimper escaped my lips as I thrashed against his restraining grip. This couldn't be real. It had to be some sort of twisted nightmare from which I would soon awake.But the harsh reality became impossible to deny as Killian stepped before me, his crimson eyes blazing with dark desire that made my stomach churn."I'm
Chad's POVI bent over Avyaane's still form, my heart pounding with a tumultuous mixture of concern and simmering anger. Her chest barely rose and fell, her skin pale and clammy.Despite everything that had transpired, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry for her. My wolf whined softly within me, torn between rage at her attempt to shoot me and an instinctive need to protect our mate.Logan's voice cut through my thoughts, dripping with venom. His eyes flashed dangerously, a muscle twitching in his clenched jaw as he snarled,"Don't fake death with us, you little bitch. Because the actual death is just around your corner if you keep this up." His hands trembled with barely contained fury, itching to lash out.I glanced up to see Killian rushing to Blair's side, his face a mask of concern as he examined the gunshot wound. The usually stoic Killian's voice wavered slightly as he said softly, "Let me see it."His gentleness was a stark contrast to the murderous fury blazing in his
Chapter 7Blair's POVAs we returned to our castle, the weight of the night's events hung heavy in the air while my arm throbbed with a dull, persistent pain, a constant reminder of Avyaane's deception.Stepping in our foyer, I watched as my brothers disperse, each seeking comfort in their own way.Logan headed straight for the kitchen, his movements tense and agitated. We all followed, realizing we needed refreshment before heading to our separate rooms.Once in the kitchen, Logan shoved a bun into the microwave to warm up, before he turned to me, his eyes flickering with a mix of concern and lingering anger."Are you sure you don't need to be checked?" he asked, his gaze fixed on my injured arm. "Your wound's not healing properly." He added pointing a finger to my arm.I bristled at his words, my pride stinging almost as much as the gunshot wound. "I would have been checked at the hospital if I needed," I snapped, trying to keep the pain out of my voice. "I'll heal up fine." I concl
Chapter 8Logan's POVAs the first rays of dawn filtered through my curtains, I found myself wide awake, and my mind was a churning cauldron of thoughts and emotions.I stretched in my bed, muscles tensing as I grappled with the bizarre twist fate had thrown our way. How in the Moon Goddess's name were we supposed to share my brother's ex-girlfriend as our mate?Sure, Avyaane was pretty - I couldn't deny that. But as Chad's ex, I harbored a deep-seated resentment towards her. It could've been anyone else's ex, for fuck's sake.But no, it had to be the one belonging to Chad - perfect, precious Chad, who always came first and was always the best. Everyone else was second fiddle to him, and this situation only served to show how we were left with his leftovers."Damn it all," I growled, punching my pillow in frustration. The familiar bitterness rose in my throat as memories flooded back - Dad training Chad alone when he was alive, forgetting about the rest of us as if we weren't his chil
