Klaus’s POV We arrive at the pack hospital five minutes later. Ella went straight for the OR to be prepped for surgery, and I was taken to a private room next to the OR. There was a nurse waiting for me there, and started the blood draw process immediately. Joseph stayed outside to keep an eye on Ella’s condition. When I was done, I went outside and stood against the wall next to joseph. We were standing outside the OR door. About ten minutes later, a nurse walked out and headed towards us. “Alpha Klaus, beta Joseph, Dr. Hunt needs you inside” the nurse motioned us to follow her inside. My heart dropped. Did she die before he could get started? I looked at Joseph and saw that he was thinking the same thing. The nurse gave us sterilized medical gowns and face masks to put on. I took that as a good sign. If she were dead they wouldn’t bother with sterilization. Once we were done, we followed the nurse into the OR. I saw an intubated Ella, laying on the operating table. The knife wa

Ella’s POV The expression on their faces was priceless. They were not expecting me to say this at all. I wasn’t expecting myself to say this out loud to anyone, if it wasn’t for that jerk of an alpha. I cleared my throat and tried to speak the next words in a flat tone. I didn’t want to feel anything I was saying because if I did, I would break down completely in front of them. I kept my eyes down and fixed on my hands. I didn’t want to see their pity or sympathy for me. “After my father died in a few weeks, I was serving them dinner one night and I accidentally broke the alpha’s glass of wine. He slapped me then took me to his bedroom to punish me. After he was done… he took away my virginity. Ever since that night he noticed me, he made me come to his bedroom almost every night and did the same thing to me over and over. When alpha Grey got too drunk to touch me or when he was busy, his beta Sam would take his place. Alpha Grey never knew that his beta was abusing me too. I was th

Ella’s POV WHIP! I scream out in pain as the alpha’s whip hits me on my back for the millionth time. “Should we move on to making me comfortable? I have been craving you since the beginning of this lovely evening” said alpha Grey with lust coloring his tone. I cry desperately. If given the choice, I’d choose the torture over the rape a hundred times. Being violated by him makes me hate myself. It makes me disgusted of my own skin. It makes me sick that I am handing over myself to him willingly now because I have no other choice. WHIP! “Did you bite your tongue my little slave?” whispered alpha Grey in my ear, while pulling my head back by painfully grabbing a handful of my hair. I sob in desperation. I have to answer him or he will keep hurting me, but at the same time, prolonging the rape and tolerating more torture would worn him out faster and cut down the number of times he rapes me later. I cry out as his hold on my hair tightens and I feel a couple of strands snap. “I ca

Klaus’s POV“So that’s everything that happened at the new pack, I am sure Joseph gave you the full version already. Particularly the part where I was a complete asshole to Ella from the moment I saw her in the woods that first night” I said to my mother in law Sara.She gave me a disapproving look that I am too familiar with. Sara practically raised me after my mom passed away when I was 5 years old. She has been a wonderful mother to me. She was very passionate and kind towards me. She never made me feel the loss of my birth mother.“Well, I am sure Joseph said everything that needed to be said, probably even more. But I find myself unable to understand how you could do all those things to that innocent girl Klaus. Regardless of what has been done to her before you took over the pack, that punishment should have never happened in the first place. And the alpha commands! That was down right sadistic. What the hell has gotten into y

Ella’s POV The first thing I felt was warmth. Warmth seeped into my whole body covering me from the inside out. It wasn’t the usual warmth that comes from being covered with a blanket. It was a warmth that promised safety and protection. My eyes were still closed, so I didn’t know the source of that amazing feeling that I have never felt before. But I didn’t want it to go away, even if it was just a dream. I kept my eyes closed and focused on my surroundings. Half my body was laying on top of someone as I felt my head rise and fall as if it was laying on someone’s chest. A hand was gently stroking my hair. My left hand was clutching a piece of fabric very tightly. For a second, I remembered the same kind of warmth I felt when Joseph touched my hand at the hospital. However, the feminine perfume I smelled right now confirmed that it wasn’t Joseph I was holding onto so tightly. It was a woman. But who was it? I had no idea. It was probably just a dream. I was never held like this befo
