Chapter Twenty-Three

Flashback from chapter 21

"Hello Rosalyn dear" she jeers in a sickly sweet tone

Rosalyn was beyond shocked at whom she was looking at but that shock quickly turned to full

blown rage when an image of her bed ridden father flashed through her mind.

"Hello mother"

Third person POV (2 days ago

Nora Parker or rather Nora Sanders as she calls herself now smirked at her daughter's reaction when

she saw her. She had always hated Rosalyn since before she was born, Nora had once visited a witch

to read her fortune and it was there she found out she was pregnant and the witch told her that the

baby she carried would cause her to loose someone special to her.

At the time Nora was having an affair with a mysterious rogue she met in the woods, she had been

visiting the witch to get potions to conceal their presences whenever they would meet up and

potions to keep her husband unaware of her infidelity, it was then Nora found out that Kevin was

cheating on his wife.

Nora had ignored the witches warning being too wrapped up in her secret romance to realize the

consequences her actions would yield. But when Nora informed her lover of the news he had not

reacted the way she expected, instead he refused to accept their child as he had plans a child would

hinder, so he left her without a second thought.

Although she was heartbroken Nora knew she had to fix her mess so when her husband returned

from his month long mission she would have sex with him on multiple occasions in order not to

arise any suspicion when she told him she was pregnant and, on the plus side he was a beta so no

one would question her rapid development.

Everyone around her was so happy but Nora couldn't help being depressed she even tried to end

her pregnancy once. After Rosalyn was born Nora couldn't help but loathed the child because she

was the reason the man she loved had left her and she was a constant reminder of what she had

lost and to make matters worst her husband and son loved the child and would often spend all their

time with her.

When Rosalyn left Nora was ecstatic, finally she was free of that burden but her joy turned to anger

when her husband kept searching for her non stop. Nora didn't know what to do she was so angry,

even though Rosalyn was gone she still created problems for her. Some time later while Steven and

Michael searched tireless for Rosalyn Nora's lover contacted her again, he apologized for his

behavior and whilst everyone was busy searching for their daughter they were busy making up for

lost time.

Nora and her lover made plans to leave together, while he used his leverage on Steven whom he

had done business with multiple times to get him to allow Nora to leave the pack, Nora made a

request of her son and husband that she knew they would deny her and as expected it all went as

planned. Nora left with her lover to live out her happy ever after and when she decided to mate

with him she hadn't bother to use a potion and spare Steven from the pain, as a result leaving him

bedridden.

Now after all those years Nora is once again face to face with the person she hates the most in the

world.

"I see your as stubborn as always Rose" Nora said as she picked up a poison coated knife

"And I see your still a bitch” Rosalyn sneered

Nora cackled at Rosalyn's reply then jammed the knife in her leg. Rosalyn scream as the poison

burnt her cut and spread throughout her body, she was thankful she had blocked out Alessandro

because she didn't want him to feel her pain. Nora twisted the knife in Rosalyn’s leg as she pulled it

out

"Why don't you be a good little girl and do what mommy tells you rose, reject that boy right now"

"Why don't you come a bit close so i can snap your neck" Rosalyn retorted

"Like I said stubborn as always but don't worry i know how to bring you down a notch”

"You see Rosalyn I'm not the bad guy here you are, afterall you took everything from me"

"I took everything from you? you must be crazy, you abused me since I was a child and when my

father tried to look for me you left him and cheated on him your nothing but a slut” Rosalyn yelled

"Ahh yes Steven, how is he doing I heard he's been under the weather" Nora mocked

"Go fuck yourself why would I tell you anything about my dad? Your the reason he's sick”

"But you miss understand Rosie dear I never asked you about your dad I asked about Micheal's

father” Nora replied with an smirk

"Have you lost your memory or something he's both our father"

"Ha ha ha ha" Nora laughed " I can see why you would think that but your wrong" Nora said her

expression turned serious at the end

"What the hell do you mean I'm wrong" Rosalyn asked

"Well you see darling Steven isn't your real father your real father-"

"Is me" Evans spoke up shocking everyone in the room including Kevin

"What!!" Rosalyn yelled "if you think I would believe anything the two of you say your all crazy this is

just some plot to get me to break down"

"Ohh but it's no trick Rosalyn I am your real father your mother and I met years ago and she got

pregnant but I had to leave so Steven raised you. I should really thank him for all that he's done”

Evan replied with a smug grin at his last comment

Rosalyn didn't believe what she heard and she refused to let them trick her so she decided to

consult with her wolf

"Hey you there?" Rosalyn asked

"Yeah am right here” Althea her wolf replied

"Are they telling the truth is that bastard really my father?"

"Am sorry rose but they're not lying I reached out to his wolf and he is our father” Althea

whimpered

A tear slipped pass Rosalyn's lashes as everything that has happened to her over the years replayed

in her mind, then she thought of Steven and how much he sacrificed for her.

Nora and Evans smiled as they saw Rosalyn crying, her eyes unfocused as she's lost in her own

thoughts but they weren't finished as yet

"Oh come now darling you shouldn't shed your tears for dead people it's such a waste" Evans

taunted

Snapping out of her haze Rosalyn replied "he's not dead you asshole”

"Not yet but he will be, you see I was the one who gave Kevin the wolfsbane he used to keep his

daughter's wolf at bay, that is until your son intervened. In return Kevin ordered the doctor to inject

small amounts into Steven as well and he's been doing such for months now" Evans told her

"He should have been dead already but he is a stubborn one as well but no matter in a couple of

days he'll be a dead man seeing as you disappearing drove him over the edge” Nora laughed

Rosalyn couldn't believe what she was hearing so she tried to reach out to her dad's wolf Riley but

he did not reply. Fear creeped into Rosalyn's heart as she thought about her father dying, how could

she not have realized he was being poisoned. Her fear quickly turned to anger as she shook

violently

"I am gonna kill you all" she yelled

"Ahh there it is the anger, the fear. Not so calm and collected now are we Rosie" Nora jeered

Walking over to her Nora grabbed a whip and slashed Rosalyn all over her body with it causing her

to scream out in pain while Kevin pleaded with Jermaine to just reject Rosalyn and the torture would

stop but no matter how they coaxed him Jermaine refused. They electrocuted, whipped, stabbed

and even beat them both to near death however they both refused the offers.

Evans Nora and Kevin tortured Rosalyn and Jermaine for hours but neither of them yielded to the

demands made, instead they tried to sooth each other's pain by promising to hold on and assuring

each other of their love, eventually their torturers gave up and decided to retire for the night with

the intent of torturing the couple more severely the next day.

As they laid in their separate cages beaten and bloodied Rosalyn and Jermaine both thought about

all they have been through. Jermaine thought about all the years his father would torture him and

beat him when he couldn't get to his mother this was something no one knew about not even

Judith herself.

Kevin would vent all his anger onto Judith every chance he got. Whenever something was wrong in

his life or someone pissed him off his wife would pay the price, however he had come home one

day angrier than he's ever been searching for Judith; when he couldn't find her Jermaine took her

beating that evening it was then he realized his father was abusing his mother. Intent on saving his

mom he would allow his father to take out his anger on him instead and that's how it went until

Jermaine was 18 years old.

As Rosalyn and Jermaine laid silently a young 17 year old girl quietly entered their cell with a tray of

food and water along with some medical supplies. It was not until she started opening Rosalyn's

cage did they notice someone else was in the room. Rosalyn quickly took on a defensive stance

even though her body was weak

"I-i-i-I'm not gonna try and hurt you I'm just here to clean your wounds please be quiet I don't want

them to know that I'm helping you guys" the young girl stuttered

"And why should I believe anything you say" Rosalyn asked

"Really!? I'm a weak human and your a werewolf what chance would I have in killing you even if

your not at your full strength the way you stood up not so long ago I wouldn't stand a chance

against you" the girl replied

Shocked at her revelation Rosalyn sniffed the air for her scent, the girl had spoken the truth she was

a human.

"So why are you helping us if your working with them”

"Because I'm not here off my free will ok they took me because i have something they want and

because I'm smart they force me to make poisons that can harm and kill your species, it's what

they've been using to torture you both, as soon as I found out I started making the poisons less

potent that's the only reason you both are still alive that and your resilience of course”

" What your name?" Rosalyn asked

"Lillian but you can call me Lilly" she replied smiling

"Ok Lilly I'm Rosalyn and he's Jermaine" Rosalyn introduced herself and Jermaine

Afterwards Lilly cleaned Rosalyn and Jermaine’s wounds and gave them food and water as they

would need the strength for what was to come the next day. After assisting the couple she silently

made her way back to her lab and laid on the worn out mattress at the far left corner of the room to

get some rest.

The next day Nora Kevin and Evans tortured Rosalyn and Jermaine but all their attempts yielded no

success. Nora started becoming angry and impatient until she got so mad a sickeningly evil idea

popped into her head.

Nora left the room to find two of her rogue subordinates, they were cruel men who would do

anything she asked of them without a second thought. When she returned to the room Evans was in

the middle of electrocuting Rosalyn

"There's no need for that honey I found a way to break her for good" Nora said with an evil grin

Loving the look on Nora's face Evans withdrew and allowed her to take over. The reason Evans love

Nora so much was because she had a dark soul and even though people often saw him as a cold

hearted monster Nora was way worse than he is.

"Owen this is Rosalyn what do you think about her?" Nora asked the tall man standing beside her

"She is a beauty minus all those cuts and bruises I can see she is one hot lady beneath all that" he

replied

"I'm glad you like her” Nora smiled "she’s yours”

"What!!?" Everyone including Owen asked at the same time

"She's yours, you can do with her as you please, I know you haven't had a mate in a long time so

consider this my gift to you because you are such a hard worker"

The man smirked as he nodded his thanks thinking about all the things he could do with a beautiful

lady such as Rosalyn. Realizing what was going on Jermaine started yanking on his chains trying to

set himself free there was no way in hell he'd let another man touch Rosalyn.

Nora Kevin and Evans left the room as Owen and his companion stayed behind. The other man

pinned Rosalyn to the ground as Owen removed his pants, Rosalyn thrashed and fought but she

was too weak to fend off both men at the same time. Owen slipped his hand under her dress and

removed her underwear as Rosalyn kicked trying to get away from them, he then forced himself

between her thighs holding onto her legs to keep her steady.

Jermaine was going out of his mind as he yanked and pulled with all his strength to try and save

Rosalyn but his efforts remained futile. He yelled screamed and threatened but the two men paid

him no mind.

Owen forced himself inside Rosalyn in once swift painful thrust as she screamed out in agony. He

was about to thrust again when he felt himself being lifted from the ground and thrown across the

room by a raging Jermaine. Jermaine's yellow eyes which indicated his wolf had taken control of his

body flared with such anger and hatred he wouldn't be able to recognize himself if he looked in a

mirror. Jermaine shifted into his wolf as he grabbed the man that was previously pinning Rosalyn to

the ground and ripped him apart blood and body parts splashing all over the room then he turned

towards owen and snapped at his leg only grazing him as he ran towards the door and down the

hallway.

However, Jermaine had no intention of letting him escape as he chased after him and dragged him

back inside the room leaving a trail of blood behind them. He then shifted back into his human

form and stuck his hand into Owens chest pulling out his heart then ripped his body to shreds.

Evans and the others could not believe what they had just witnessed. The moment Rosalyn

screamed it was like Jermaine became a monster, his eyes turned to a bright glowing yellow as he

ripped apart the chains holding him down as if they were mere paper and the way he gruesomely

murdered the two men was enough to strike the fear of God into anyone.

Getting angry once more Nora barged into to the room while Jermaine was getting dressed. He had

already freed Rosalyn from her shackles and assisted her in getting dressed as she was too dazed as

to what had just happened to her.

He was putting on his garments when Nora entered the room, he was so shocked he didn't have

time to react as the moment he turned to face her Nora stuck her claws into his belly ripping across

his abdomen, Nora laughed triumphantly at the shocked expression on Jermaine's face as he fell to

the ground bleeding out.

Rosalyn was in a daze as her mind tried to wrap itself around what had just happened to her, she

couldn't believe that she was raped and her mom was the one who ordered it none the less. She sat

still in a daze even after Jermaine had broken her chains, she had flinched when he tried to touch

her but soon relaxed when she realized who it was.

Rosalyn’s mind was in a fog of disbelief never had she ever expected something like that could

happen to her, she was so wrapped up in her dismay she hadn't noticed her mom sneaking up on

Jermaine it wasn't until Nora started laughing did Rosalyn realize what was happening. She looked

up to see Jermaine lying on the ground bleeding out while her mom stood over him cackling like

the witch she is.

"Noo00000" Rosalyn screamed as she scrambled towards him

Jermaine's breathing was shallow his blood gushing out in gallons as his wound remained open due

to the poison that coated Nora's claws. Rosalyn cradled Jermaine in her arms rocking back and forth

as she chanted

"No no baby please don't leave me"

Nora laughed hysterically as Rosalyn willed Jermaine to open his eyes. Tears feel down Rosalyn's

face as her anger skyrocketed, she could feel Althea taking over as rage and hate spread

throughout her.

Nora stopped laughing when she saw Rosalyn's eyes turned blood red, she was about to take on a

defensive stance but was too slow as Rosalyn was infront her within an instant, if she were human

she wouldn't have seen her move and even with her wolf eyes she had only glimpsed her.

Rosalyn threw Nora across the room in a flash then in no time she was above her pounding her fists

into Nora's face and body while scratching and clawing at her. She looked up and saw the chair

Jermaine was in earlier where they electrocuted him repeatedly, this caused Rosalyn's anger to

escalate to another level. She picked Nora up by her neck and threw her in the chair then strapped

her down with the intent of giving her a taste of her own medicine but Evans busted into the room

at that moment.

When Rosalyn saw him she smirked, Evans charged at her but he was unable to land a hit as Rosalyn

grabbed a knife from the near by table and slit his throat in one swift movement then pulled his

head from his body and threw it on the ground where it rolled to the door way.

Getting rid of Evans Rosalyn saw Kevin standing at the door with a look of utmost terror on his face

while his entire body shook. When he realized she saw him he turned and bolted down the hallway,

Rosalyn would have gone after him if she hadn't Jermaine coughing, she ran back to him as she

held him in her arms as he coughed up blood.

Moments later Lilly ran passed the door way, she had snuck outside earlier to get some herbs from

the clearing that she could use to threat Jermaine and Rosalyn's wounds later, when she saw a huge

black wolf with white stripes he was so beautiful she had wanted to touch his fur but then she

remembered she had snuck out and thought it was one of Evans men that she saw so she ran. Lilly

knew that if she was caught she would be punished so she ran until she reached the mansion then

snuck in through the secret passage at the back of the house.

She was running so fast that she didn't see the blood trail in the hall way it was when she glimpsed

Evans decapitated head at the door way she stopped and turned back to take a second glance.

There she saw Jermaine in Rosalyn's arms bleeding out, she had grown attach to the lovely couple

as they were the only people who ever showed her kindness or gratitude, she wanted to help them

but was hesitant to let out her secret.

After a moment of contemplation Lilly decided to take a leap of faith. She rushed into the room

towards the couple but Rosalyn snapped at her when she came too close, it was clear Rosalyn's wolf

was in control so Lilly approached cautiously.

"I can help him if you let me" she calmly told Rosalyn

"Please let me help or hell die” she coaxed moving closer

With a growl Rosalyn allowed Lilly to come towards them. Lilly walked over slowly then kneeled

beside Jermaine, she took the knife that's was on the ground and cut open her palm then wiped her

blood across Jermaine's wound. The moment Lilly's blood entered Jermaine's wound he started

healing and within a minute he was healed

"This is why Evans kidnapped me, because my blood can heal any wouldn't and nullify any poison as

well as other things. Since Jermaine was at deaths door it will take him some time to wake up but

he'll be fine" Lilly assured Rosalyn

After healing Jermaine Rosalyn filled Lilly in on what she missed, Lilly saw Nora on the chair battered

to a pulp and rejoiced internally. After making sure Rosalyn was ok she went to her lab and packed

up all of her work, not leaving anything behind she cleared everything out along with all of Evans.

money then took her leave from the place that was her prison for two years.

Rosalyn remained in the same position Lilly found her, still cradling an unconscious Jermaine. She

could hear noise outside but ignored it, then she heard footsteps coming towards her; her body

tensed as she got ready to fight off whoever it is if they tried to attack her or Jermaine. She was

shocked to see Alessandro enter the room, he tried walking towards them but she snapped at him

unconsciously, her protective instincts overriding everything else.

Out of the blue Kevin reappeared at the door with a gun in his hand, he smirked when he saw

Alessandro thinking he could kill two birds with one stone after all he had nothing left to loose; his

son was dead and the rest of his family already hated him only thing he had left was his revenge

and he would be damned if he didn't get it. Turning off the safety he pointed the gun at Alessandro

then said

"You took everything from me Rosalyn now it's time I return the favour" then pulled the trigger

Rosalyn saw Kevin fire at Alessandro and at a moment's notice she left Jermaine’s side to save

Alessandro, she had planned to push him out the way but the bullet hit her in the chest causing her

to fall bringing Alessandro down with her.

"Alessandro I-im so sorry" she croaked

"Momma no no no please no you can't die you can't leave us"

It was then Rosalyn realized it was Xavier in control of Alessandro's body she was surprised as Xavier

rarely took control

"I love you mi bambino but I don't think I can hold on when Jermaine wakes up tell him I love him"

she replied as she felt her self slipping into darkness

Rosalyn’s breathing shallowed as she tried to hold on knowing full well what would happen to

Alessandro if she died however the bullet was lodged closely to her heart and she knew her time

was limited

"Mom no!!!" She heard Xavier yelled as her eyes closed

The last thing she saw before falling unconscious was a blurred silhouette of a man resembling

micheal entering the room.
