The next month, Olivia brought me Annabel begging me to do the same to her, I refused, argued with les fervently but in the end I caved. She was in so much pain and the only thing I understood was that marki ter gave her relief. It was while Annabel was sleeping in my bed that Olivia started talking to me. Telling me duke how she didn’t have a mom and that the gets touched by all the mates in her family. She said that during här hest cycle was when they were the worst and what they did to her increased the pain the was already in. When the jett with my mark on her, everyone left her alone. The cramps, fatigue, nauses; after the initial side effects left her the had no other ill effects and didn’t need any medication. She assured me that by the end of her cycle no one knew
it was even there.
1 cared for Annabel with Olivia’s help for three days before she returned to her family. A week later I was in the training room and I heard the first of the pedophile accusations. A month later, Olivia brought me Sallie. The accusation was out there and they are suffering as much as me, I can’t stand to see a little one fearful or in palo so I took care of her and a week later I’m in the training center with my dad taking care of me
A few weeks later I was told to get out of his house. Every time he belted me he ranted about if I ever run away than I would have hell to pay as he would turn all the evidence he has of me raping the littles over to the council and it would put me away for the rest of my life.”
I’m in complete shock as he pauses, taking a break from detailing his involvement with the littles of his pack.
“Your father is blackmailing you?”
I ask again in a gasp the conclusion I wanted to stay in my head.
“I guess that’s what it is. I thought blackmail only dealt with truths that weren’t known to the public and when someone finds out they manipulate you into doing what they want to keep the person with knowledge quiet.”
I nod my head as I add to his assessment.
“Even if the knowledge is false, using such knowledge to manipulate is still blackmail.”
He nods silently as he starts taking several deep breaths reminding me of my warriors before they head into
battle.
“I ran off into the bathroom when I saw the brutality that my brother was using on her. I didn’t recognize the she–wolf he was with but that doesn’t really mean anything as to if she was a pack member or not. When I recovered from getting sick I returned to the computer. The video was gone and the mouse cursor still. It took me an hour to figure out how to get out of his computer.”
He stops for a moment and for the first time since I set it down, he picks up the bottle of water I placed on my desk. He examines the lid carefully before twisting it open and taking a long drink from it.
“Is there any way I can get you to down a protein shake instead? We both know you need the calories.”
“I ate those two burgers before coming back here and they’re not playing nice now that I’m anxious.”
He replies quietly as he shakes his head.

I didn’t think so.
We remain quiet for a minute while he finishes the water and formulates his thoughts
It took me longer than it should have for me to first, pick up on what he was doing with the video and secon believe that it could actually be true.“
“What is it that you believe is going on?”
“As I said before, when I was sixteen I was told if I got a girl pregnant he would pursue rape charges against me It’s a little hard to pursue rape when you can’t even get a video of me having sex so what’s the next best way to claim it?”
I shake my head but otherwise remain silent as he’s yet to turn the chair to look at me.
