CHAPTER 24

"Can you meet?" I stared at the screen and nervously chewed on my fingernail while waiting for a reply. She probably wasn't even awake.

"On my way"

relief washed over me when she answered and I got dressed and walked outside. Cassy drove up and picked me up. We walked around the dark and quiet town before sitting down on a bench and I told her about my brothers plan.

"So, you're really leaving?" She asked and I heard the sadness in her voice, she wasn't trying to mask it.

"I can't stay, my life isn't my own and it hasn't been, ever. I need to take it back," I said.

"I understand, do you know when?"

"No, they said they'd call once they had a plan but I don't know when that's gonna be," she nodded her head and grabld my hand.

"You deserve to live a life of your own choosing so whatever you need, I'll help you," she said and smiled.

We went back to the house and me and Cassy were in the gaming room watching movies until the sun rose. During one of the movies we had both fallen asleep and the voices of people were what woke us up. "Looks cozy, mind

d if I join

join in," Cole said and jumped down on the couch. Cassy flinched and scooted closer to me. He had a smirk on his face and his eyes were telling how much he enjoyed the taunting.

"Oh come on, Cass, it's not like this is anything new. We've been much closer than this before," he said and dragged his finger across

with me from the couch. her neck as he leaned in with his ugly face toward her. I stood up and pulled her up

"You're disgusting." I spat and turned around.

"She's just

being a tease. If you want me to f*ck you again all you have to do is ask," He said and stood slowly, biting on his lower lip as he took slow steps toward us. His eyes were looking at Cassy like she was a piece of meet but she shrunk under his gaze. She looked

scared.

"Back off, Cole,"

"Ouch, the puppy's got claws, when did that happen? Did anyone notice her getting a voice?" He said and the others laughed.

The room was filled with his friends and it was only a matter of time before Sam walked in and probably Aiden too.

“Let's go,” i said and pulled Cassidys arm.

"Nah, you aint going anywhere," he pulled her arm and she slammed into his chest.

I pushed Cassy out of the way and raised my hand. It hit Cole square on his jaw and he fell back a step. The only problem here was that he had his wolf, but on the other side I had three brothers, so I knew how to hold my own.

The others growled and Cole snarled as he raised his hand.

"No! No one touches her, she's Aiden's,"

"Oh I don't think she is, he probably wouldn't mind her getting smacked around a little bit. Might teach the little btich some manners," Sam walked into the room.

CHAPTER 24

I turned around for

a second to look at Sam and just then, Cole grabbed my arm and pulled me to him.

His eyes were filled with Just as he held his face near mine.

He looked down at me, his eyes flicking between my eyes and my lips.

The others started clearing their

"How do you thraots and gasping and before I knew it I was pulled back against a rock hard chest and then shifted to the side.

"Why don't you ask him." Aiden said and stepped in front of Cole. His eyes, a second ago filled lust and amusement, suddenly dripped with fear.

"Who the f*ck are you to threaten the Lund using my name? Using any name?" He asked and stepped closer.

"Gabby and Casandra, leave us." He said. Only us but his friends got to stay. I scoffed and shook my head. His eyes split second and softened.

"Please," he added.

"You slept with him?" I asked shockingly as we walked up the stairs and toward the library. Neither one of us wanted to be arround people and Cassy was still shaken up so I figured there had to be more to it. She didn't answer me until we reached the library and opened the door.

Not willingly," she said without meeting my eyes.

"Wait," I grabbed her softly and closed the doors behind me.

"What do you mean not willingly?" She rolled her eyes and averted them, not wanting to look at me.

I walked after her and we sat down on the stairs around a table.

"Cassy, did he rape you?"

"One year ago, Cole gained his wolf. I was friends with all of those guys back then. One night we had been partying and he offered to drive me home. He was a friend, I didn't think much of it but instead of driving home he drove me here. He told me that he just wanted to grab something and so I went with him into his room. Once there, he lacked the door and began touching me. I said 'no' and told him to stop but he didn't listen and well, like I said, he had his wolf,"

"And you didn't," I gasped quietly.

She shook her head and continued.

"He tossed me down on the bed and pinned me down. He ripped my clothes of and started kissing me. His hand covered my mouth but no matter how much I screamed nobody could hear me because, well, the walls are soundproof. He continued, all night, until the sun went up and then he finally stopped. I felt broken, betrayed and hurt both physically and mentally, grabbed my things and walked out in my underwear hoping that nobody would see me but they were all there that morning, in the hall. They saw me and then Cole walked out behind me so they figured we had just hooked up. I told Sam the truth about what had happened but she thought I made it up, she thought I had f*cked Cole and that I was coming for Aiden next and that that's why I made up the lie. That's when everything just continued downhill. They all froze me out, name calling, battering, fights, all of it happened at once and eventually they just ignored me completely,

"Did you ever tell Aiden about what had happened?" She scoffed and shook her head.

"Like he would believe me, the girl who was stapled as a whore and the pack slut and a liar, shunned by all of her friends, over his Beta and best friend. I don't think so," I couldn't believe it. I didn't know what to say.

CHAPTER 24

I looked around trying to find the right words in my head but there was nothing there.

Unless...

"Do you want to come with me? When I leave," I asked.

Her face lit up

for a second and she smiled but eventually shook her head.

"I can't, my family is here, I can't leave them but thank you for offering."

"We have to do something about Cole, he cant be allowed to walk around after what he did to you,"

"There's nothing we can do, he's a ranked member, you should know what that means," I did know what that meant and I hated it. It shouldn't be implied that having rank automatically makes every disgusting thing you do okey.

"I'm sorry about what happened to you and I appreciate that you opened up to me about it," she smiled and nodded i grabbing my hand and pressing it lightly.

"Now it's your turn," she said and looked me dead in the eye.

"What do you

you mean?" 1

I asked and tilted my head back an inch.

"I've seen the way you flinch when someone steps to close to fast, or when you hear a loud sound. Why is that? her eyes softened and she squeased my hand harder. "-what did they do to you?" She asked with sadness brimming in her eyes.

If I was going to tell someone, it would be her.
