Chapter 14: Elijah's p.o.v.... 13

Sebastian saw me pulled out his gun and aimed at me catching me in the hind quarter and even broken Violet Vaulted up from the floor and cover me with her body. She took two bullet for me then and flopped down pinning me to the ground, they left us there to die. It wasn’t until the morning that i was able to wriggle my way from under Violet, god her breath was so faint how she was still alive i truly don’t know and cold, i ran and ran until i reached the road still completely naked i charged in front of a car nearly causing an accident in the process.

But all i could think about was saving my sister, i was unable to speak all i managed to do was pull the man’s arm he covered me in his coat and followed me without hesitation, when he saw Violet he rushed over and scooped her up in his arms, he got us to a place he could get a signal on his phone and called the police and ambulance.

The doctors didn’t know why she was still alive because with the amount of blood lost and her injuries they said she should have died in those wood.

They asked questions after questions but i couldn’t bring myself to speak, all i wanted to know was if i was going to lose Violet,

she was broken but she fought like hell to live for me. she finished with Nathaniel even though he didn’t care what had happened to her, he loved her, but it mattered to her....

She didn’t think she was pure any more and that’s what both of them had pledged on their wedding night. He tried to reassure her that he knew it wasn’t her choice, that her choice had been taken by the monster who tried to kill her, she finally pushed him away breaking him, he killed himself not long after blaming himself for not protecting her.

Even after everything she endured through fighting to stay alive, endless hours of physical and mental therapy she still made a statement to the police and sent him to prison, never once allowing me to get involved, she shoulder the burden herself, she enrolled in self defence classes and martial arts, we sold the house and some of Violet’s art work even in college she had commissions and with her investment she had this place built for me so i never had to fear anything again.

For a long time we thought i had lost my wolf because i could shift but when we finally settled here Rose came back. Violet covers herself up because of the scars all over her body, people call her a freak but she has endure more pain than anyone should have, she doesn’t do loud music club life and had only experienced one relationship, i know my sister is broken but she is also beautiful and pure even if she cannot see it.

To me she is best sister anyone could wish for and even now all she is thinking of is making me safe and facing him herself. This is my Violet i don’t want to lose her” thank god Jasper stepped up because i didn’t know what to say “you will not lose your sister Laura darling, she is our Luna and part of the pack now and we defend our Luna” he sounded so sure of our pack i was proud to be his brother

‘our mate has endured so much, no wonder she is so impressive’ Brax said i was in awe of her i knew one thing i was going to have to be gentle with her because she was still innocent when it came to the intimacy between a man and a woman.

Laura looked at me i knew what she was asking me without saying a word “i will take care of her Laura, you go back home and i will stay with my mate”

“she will fight you tooth and nail” she said fiercely

“i know, but she is my mate and the packs future Luna and i have waited a very long time for my mate, i will show her love i promise i will not hurt her” all i wanted to do was wrap her up in my arms and show her the kind of love she deserved to receive.

‘baby steps’ Brax chimed we waited for Laura and Jasper to leave before walking up the stairs to find our mate, her scent calling to us both drawing us closer the closer we got to her room i could feel it the presence of a wolf, it was not as faint as at the club why? What had made her surface

‘us’ Brax said i stopped thinking about it and what i could remember about lament wolves, now i was wishing i had taken more notice of the old hags. I stopped in the door way of her room for a few minutes i knew she sensed me there her heartbeat had change which made Brax and i hopeful it meant that her body recognised us as her mates making this process a whole lot easier than what i thought it was going to be.

I could hear her crying thinking the water running would disguise the sound of her heart breaking a pang of guilt rushed through me as i was the cause of this bout of pain she was feeling ‘it was a necessary evil for us to protect her’ Brax reassured me i was glad he thought so but i knew for a fact the our mate didn’t have the same view. I walked into the bedroom through to the en-suite to see her on the floor under the shower knees under her chin, hearing about the scars but seeing them in the flesh are two different things i wasn’t able to stop Brax’s growl trickle from my chest and part of me didn’t want to because i wanted to kill the bastard as much as he did for putting them on her, i didn’t even try to stop the emotions from showing in my eyes, if this was going to work i needed her to see and feel everything even if it was going to be overwhelming for for her,i watched her back stiffen not dissuaded i turned off the water, picked up a towel and handed it to her waiting for her to accept it, true to form she stayed ridged

“get out, this is mine house not your club house” she spat at me, her annoying clear as day but i was determined to make some lea way with her today.

“take it and join me or i wrap this around you and carry you” i said as softly yet sternly as possible i needed her to understand the situation we now found ourselves.

She snatched the towel looking at me fire as many daggers at me as her eyes would allow her to deliver.

“good i will wait in the other room” my voice was soft i knew she thought the softness i was showing she thought it to be pity, which was far from the truth which the next thing i was going to have to deal with before we tackled the shame which was radiating from her.

She came out of the bathroom again trussed up only her feet showing, that didn’t bother me one bit, what was a good start was her battling with her emotions as she was ogling me where i was sat on the corner of the bed in my jeans and tee i watched her walk over to the chair in the corner of the room pulling her legs under herself trying to hide as much of her self as possible
