Chapter Six: Promised?

It has been days.

Days since he broke everything that we had built all these years.

When I woke up the next morning I was confused as to what happened. I thought it was just a terrible dream but then I saw the bruises on my wrist and thighs. Then I felt the pain of the monstrous act that my best friend had done to me.

I haven't left the room since that dreadful night. All I do is sit in the corner of my closet thinking of what I did to deserve what he did.

Everything in my head stopped working and not just that but i can't feel my wolf. All the hurt and pain put her in a deep sleep. This pain is unbearable, everything reminds me of them. I want to escape but how can I when everyone is on the lookout for me.

"D please, talk to me, I had to do it there was no other way" he pleaded again for what felt like hours. He was back at it again. With the “I am so sorry , I had to" bullshit. Did he not get it, what he was doing now was making things worse.

His presence disgusted me. He has been doing this for days. Trying to lure me out of my room and the safety of my closet.

I didn't want to see him in fact I didn't want to see anyone but my mom. She had answers to some of my questions and she was the only person I could talk to. Trust no one. I chanted the words over and over in my head.

“Baby please don't do this to me, at least come out and eat something please “he pleaded again but it made no use, I was in another world far away from all of them.

"Your mother is really worried, she wants to see you. I can...dammit I will explain everything if you just open the door"

The mate pull twisted demanding this hate to stop. This was why he was here. We were not fully bonded, during the mating he marked me but I didn't mark him back. The bite looked awful on my neck. I don't think it was supposed to look like some of my flesh was ripped off.

I would never lay my hands on him again and if I did, it would probably to kill him. The bond was torturing both of us but him more. It wanted to be loved and natured but all I was doing is avoiding it, trying to ignore it as much as I can. I didn't want this.

"Please D, I can't stand it anymore, I need you, I just can't."

I hated him.

I want him to feel the pain through the bond, the pain he caused me. The one that he was supposed to love me.

Silence.

I let go of the breath that I didn't know I was holding.

" Munchkin please open the door, so that I can take care of you and explain things. I can smell you all the way from here please honey open the door" she was crying now. They were so persistent today so I knew my time was up.

They thought that I had healed up just fine. That I would forget, I would never forget NEVER.

“Just open the damn door, I know you have the key. But just you no one else" my voice did not sound as though it belonged to me. So fragile, broken. I hated feeling this way. I hate that he makes me feel this way.

I heard the click of the door being unlocked and then footsteps after the door was closed.

" Oh my munchkin" she made a dash for me in my corner of the closet that I have been sitting in for days.

Her hug was crushing "please forgive me, I can't bear seeing you like this" I didn't return her hug I was still frozen from the contact with anyone for what felt like years. Werewolves are social animals making them sick if they don't have any type of contact with their pack.

That's why lone wolves eventually die after a month of being on their own.

"C'mon let me help you" we made it to the bathroom that was not far. My room was painted with a light shade of blue; it reminded me of the sky.

She drew a bath for me and bathed me like I was still a small pup. I relished in the contact. I realized now that I was so weak that she had to help me get out of the tub.

I looked in the mirror. The ugly mark on my neck, dark circles around my sunken eyes. My skin was so pale and my long hair was in knots. I looked like I was dying.

She brought up her hand to touch me but I raised mine that was enough for her to understand. Her work was done here.

Before she left the room, she put the same type of herb on the table with another note. She gave me one last look before she left.

It's for repressing your heat. They are all over the place can't tell you more.

I crumble the piece of paper and through it in the toilet and flush it. I drank some water with the herbs.

I blew out a breath of relief. At least I wouldn't be worried about having pups with him which is ironic because that's all I thought about after I knew I had a crush on him. How stupid that thought was now.

I took a pair of scissors from the table and started cutting my hair. It fell all over me but I didn't care anymore. With every piece of strand I cut off I felt a weight lifted from my head. Now my hair came till my neck.

I made my way to the closet and put on anything that I saw which was a baggy t-shirt and baggy sweat pants.

It was time I put my armor on. I couldn't show them that I was weaker than they already saw. For the first time in days I left the comfort of my room and made my way to the kitchen.

It was filled with delicious smells. All of them were here. As I entered everyone stared at me like I was going to pounce on them. Well they got another thing coming.

I sat down but the stares continued which made me feel like running back to my room.

"D please forgive—" I flinched at his voice. I still felt the pain, the fear.

“Stay the fuck away from me" I said when I regained my voice.

The room was silent after that just the sound of breakfast being served by my mom. We ate in silence.

Brandon cleared his throat “Well this went south very quickly. Dawn all of us have to talk so put your claws back in and let's talk like civilized people"

I barked out an ugly laugh "Civilized?, I think that ship sailed when your bitch of a son raped me!!" I roared the table trembling. There was a hot white rage in me and it would only be satisfied if I drew some blood especially Xavier's blood.

"And all of you stood there like it was normal" as the words left my mouth I saw the previous Luna Betty squirm in her seat.

"Or it is normal to all of you, this is so sick on so many levels" I stood from my seat and made a run for it to my room.

Not until I felt my father's hand wrap around my wrist. “Sit down Dawn , it will be easier this way"

“You and your cult of a pack can stick it up your ass dad" I looked at him with so much hatred. He didn't do anything that night and for that he would pay.

“D please just—" " oh for the love of the goddess just shut up Xavier!" His shoulders slumped. I made no eye contact because I knew that would be the end of me.

“I only have one request, find a way to break the bond and allow me a transfer to another pack" my voice was strong but I felt so weak inside.

“Never! You're mine, MINE!! He promised me you're mine"

Promised? But before I could ask I felt a pinch to my neck and blackness enveloped me.

Damn it.
