Kenneth’s (Wolf) POV-

+25 Points

Katie disappeared into the woods, it wasn’t hard for me to find her. She wasn’t exactly moving quietly. She stomped through the brush like she was trying to stamp out a fire. She stopped near a clearing, resting her back against a tree. I leaned against a tree a couple of trees away from her, and just watched from the shadows of the night.

“Why the fuck did you have to follow me?” Katie growled, her anger palpable.

“Following orders from Prez, to keep you safe,” I said, with a shrug.

Katie stood and spun on her heels to glare at me. She was starting to go bright red, her body shaking slightly with rage. She was so fucking hot right now. I like seeing her angry. “Shout at me if you need to, hell hit me. But let it out. You have cried because of the pain of what you went through, but now let that anger out, on me if you have too,” I said, stepping towards her.

“You don’t get to talk about my fucking pain. You have no fucking idea what it was like for me. What I fucking went through,” she yelled.

“And, no one is going to know until you say something. We can’t read your fucking mind,” I

said, calmly.

“You really want to know. He hit for every little thing he deemed wrong. Wrong outfit, food not on the table o me, not the food he wanted, the list goes on. When I miscarried because he beat me, he would beat me for losing his baby because it was my fault. I was never allowed to refuse sex, even if that meant he forced himself on me. Is that what you wanted to know?”

she snarled.

Hearing everything she went through kept me stunned, but I was fuming. There is nothing I won’t do, to help this perfect woman get the revenge that she fucking deserves. I would carve

him to shreds if she asked me to.

Katie choked on a sob, as she realized what she had told me. But she kept going. “I have scars across my back, my thighs have severe bruising, my ribs are fractured and bruised. Allison is concerned about my fertility, given the fact that I suffered three miscarriages in six years.”

She looked defeated now, the rage gone, replaced with pain. I sighed, “Bruises and fractures heal. Scars, you learn to live with them. Until you find a new man and try to get pregnant, you are not going to know whether your fertility is affected by miscarriages.”

“No man is going to want me with scars,” she whispered, looking down at herself.

She is so insecure about her beauty that it is almost adorable. She is wrong about men not wanting her. Scars don’t make a person, they tell a story. God, I want to be the one to show her that she is beautiful no matter the scars that she has.

“You know, I said the same thing about women after my last tour,” I said.

Katie slowly looked up at me with tears in her eyes. “What do you mean?” she asked.

“I am going to take my shirt off and cut off. You know your brother and the rest of the club, harass me about not taking my shirt off when I work out. They all do, so why don’t I? I am going to show you,” I replied, taking my cut off.

I gripped my T–shirt and said, “None of the club members have seen these. Hell, you are the first woman to see them. The scar I got, when my men and I were held captive. We were tortured, beaten. I have a very high pain threshold, especially compared to the rest of my men. I got whipped to the point that I had almost down to the bone cuts. But that didn’t stop me from breaking free and saving the last of my men; some had already died.”

I turned my back to her, and lifted my T–shirt up, revealing the mass of hideous scars I had all over my back. I heard Katie gasp, before I continued, “I am showing you these because they may be hideous, but they show what I survived. They show what I did to survive and what I did to save my men. They tell my story.”

I pulled my T–shirt back down and picked my cut up. I slipped it on as I turned around. “Yours are the same, they tell your story. They tell everyone that you survived a horrific situation and that you are strong because you escaped it and healed from it.”

I finally looked at Katie, and saw she was crying her eyes out. Tears were streaming down her face, as she stared at me. She blinked a few times, before she lunged at me. Her arms went around my neck, and she cried into my shoulder, whispering, “I am sorry you went through that.”

“You don’t need to be sorry. It happened, it haunts me sometimes, but I am trying to show you that scars don’t matter. Anyone real, understanding, and decent will accept your scars and all,” I said to her, as I placed my hands on her back, holding her against me gently.

After a few minutes, Katie pulled away, taking a step back away from me. It felt good having her in my arms, but I knew I couldn’t force her to stay there. She turned and looked into the clearing, her back to me. I wanted to pull her back into my arms, but I stayed where I was. She needs time, not me to hound her for everything that I want to take from her because I want her as mine.

I stepped over to the tree nearest to her, and leaned against it, watching her. As much as I want her as mine, I will not go against what Prez asked me to do. He asked me to protect her,

not make her beg me to fuck her. I know why he wants me to protect her. My military training gives me particular skills that would help me protect her. I get that. She is my Prez’s little sister, so I will do everything I can to protect her.

I let Katie have as much time as she needed, before I looked at my watch and saw how late it was getting. “Kitty, did you want to go get something to eat, or just head to your room to try and get some sleep?” I asked, throwing a little pet name in there.

She has claws and I can see her sinking them into someone if she needs to. She just needs a little coaxing. Kitty is fitting. She turned to look at me, I smirked at her, noticing that her breathing hitched when I called her Kitty.
