"H-Hey, Rye?" Sam asked from my bed. I turned around to see what she needed to see she was in one of my tee shirts. My jaw dropped from how good she looked in it, just laying there on her side, propped by her arm. With the way she is laying, the shirt barely covers her butt and gives everything to the imagination.

Does she even realize how much she is teasing right now? My wolf groaned.

"Y-yes, Stutterbug?" Great, now I'm stuttering too. I sauntered over to where she is and rubbed my thumb over her cheekbone, causing her to blush and smile slightly. She sat up, making sure not to show anything (much to my and my wolf's displeasure), so I could sit down. I sat down right across from her, knees touching.

"C-Can w-we t-talk?" She asked. I opened my mouth to retort, but she held her hand up and rephrased, "I w-want to e-explain s-some t-things t-to y-you b-before it's t-too f-far... S-S-So y-you u-understand. I-Is t-that o-okay?" She asked me. I realized then that she trusted me enough to let me in to her past; I nodded my head slowly. She took a deep breath in and realeased it.

"I'm going t-to try to do this without s-stuttering. B-Bear with me... I wasn't brought into the pack until I was 12. The future Luna was m-murdered, and they needed a new one, someone new. Someone u-unmated. Like him. Alpha James found me in the woods freezing, alone, and starving. I thought he would be my s-savior... Things had never crossed further than him hitting, punching, or starving me. And then-," She stopped. After a few seconds, she started again. "And then I turned 14. My fourteenth birthday was a disaster. My shift was painful; Jaden was ashamed of it. Anna was nowhere to be found that night and James had planned to have his poker buddies over. I didn't even want Becca over. I sat alone in my room with a cupcake I'd gotten from school, a candle inside the cupcake; the card I had gotten from Rebecca; and two bottles of beer I had stolen from James's collection, which I couldn't bring myself to even drink a little sip. When he realized I had them, he and his poker buddies stormed into my room and he had smacked me so hard my head still spins when I remember it.'

"He had said, and I quote, "Perhaps all these years of punishment hasn't been enough to teach you your lesson. Maybe it's time to take things up a notch. Especially now that you've become full wolf." I remember them all laughing at a joke I didn't understand. I was so confused, but when he told me to lie back on the bed and stay still, I had no choice. We were taught in school to listen to your fathers and not to disobey, so I did what he said. Things after he had stripped and gotten on top of me were pretty blurry, but I do remember him whispering in my ear not to make a sound, and God, did I want to scream and writhe and move because the moment when he entered, it burned and hurt like hell. When he moved off me, I thought that was the end of it, but when one of his poker buddies took his place, I knew then and there, at the age of fourteen, I was nothing to them and I was about to get used by every single one of these vile and disgusting strangers.'

"I'm not sure how many hours this went on, but when it was over with, I was so happy but so sore. I ached in places I didn't even know I had. My bed was a bloody mess. I was so ashamed, and so I cleaned everything up. I pretended nothing happened. And then it kept happening. At first, I started to protest, but after the first two years, I quit and just let them do what they wished.'

"Anna began abusing me that same year, same with Jaden although he doesn't do it as much. I was used to it, so I didn't protest much."

"How did Rebecca find out?" I asked quietly. I heard gulp. Maybe I shouldn't have asked.

"I thought I was pregnant when I was 15. I had to explain to her, and I had never seen her so mad. She didn't let me leave to go home until I had finished telling her in so much detail what had been happening. I was lucky I convinced her to let me leave without telling anyone. Since then, anytime I had the chance, I stayed with her overnight and throughout the day. It helped me get away from James.'

'I wouldn't let her come over either because if she was there when James was, I didn't know what he'd do. I refused to be at fault for that. My hell of a life wasn't getting any easier, so to distract myself from so much, I focused on my schoolwork. I became the top of my class before I hit my breaking point. But when that breaking point hit, these happened." She rolled her sleeves up as a visual. "When I ran out of room on my wrists, I moved here and here." She pointed to her sides and her thighs. She still couldn't bring herself to look at me. "I thought James was finished r-raping me, but then one night after I had turned 16, he started selling me to other men. Each one whispering the same thing in my ear. "Even if you do have one, your mate's going to want to be with you." I never had the voice to tell them I didn't have one." When she finally looked at me, my heart hurt. Her face was wet with tears, much like mine. How could anyone be this vile to someone that perfect. I want to make him pay. I clenched my fists in anger, not at her, but at them, the people who caused this.

"Please, tell me that's all." I rasped. Sam nodded slowly. "I don't think I can hear anymore without storming out and finding that man." I breathed in once and let it go. "C'mere." I said, holding my arms out for her. I needed to hold her, smell her. She hesitantly made her way over to where I was. I groaned and rolled my eyes and grabbed her arms and pulled her to me, making sure not to hurt her. I nuzzled my head in her shoulder and sighed in content. She started playing with my hair while I continued to calm myself down in Sam. "They were wrong." I whispered. "I'm not going anywhere. I still want you. They were wrong." I pulled away and looked at her.

"But-,"

"But nothing. I'm still here, I still want you, and I'm not going anywhere." I used my thumbs to wipe away her tears. Sam attacked me in a hug. "Yeah, you've been through a hell of a lot, and yeah I wish I could've been there to stop it a lot sooner, but I don't have a time machine. I can't go back and change things, no matter how much I wish I could." I tightened my hold on her before continuing. "I promise you though, I will stay by your side. There's somethings I have yet to tell you, and the only thing I'm asking is for you not to leave me when I tell you."

"O-Okay." She whispered, smiling. She looked up at me, now serious. "Uh, Rye... W-We m-might h-have a-an i-issue."

"What's that, Stutterbug?"
