Filed To Story: Their Bullied and Broken Mate by Teri Petry
Before Maddix or Riley could answer, I jumped from my seat and got right in her face. “Allegedly? What the fuck do you mean allegedly? There is video surveillance to prove it. My brother killed that piece of shit fucker justifiably. What that man did to me was the cruelest thing a man could do to a woman. I have gone through horrors that I relive every day. . I was tied up and whipped until I bled. He used foreign objects on me, as well as him and a guard forcing themselves on me. I WAS A VIRGIN before his sick and cruel actions, and you have enough gall to sit here and try and tear my brother and me down because you don’t believe what you were told. How could YOU love a man like that? He moved away from the pack and left your dumb ass here. Yet you still defend him. What in the hell is wrong with you?” I screamed.
Her reply shocked me even more, and I wasn’t sure how I kept Alaska from ripping her smug head off her shoulders.
“Watch how you speak to your elders, little girl. Until these videos are made public knowledge for all to see, then all I hear are words of a bitter little bitch who got caught working in a high-end brothel cheating on her mate,” she retorted.
My jaw hit the floor, and Damian was beside me in no time. He tried to lead me away from the pervert’s wife, but I didn’t budge. It took both of my dads to move me away from her, and Damian spoke to Mrs. Oliver. “Listen, I get it, you are upset that your shitty husband didn’t find you worthy enough to fulfill his kinks. However, ma’am, you weren’t there. You didn’t see what was being done to not only my mate, but more than 100 other women and GIRLS. That’s right, girls as young as 12 years old. The younger girls were HUMAN. I have an almost 13-year-old human girl in my pack right now who is 4 months pregnant by a wolf. She was sold to Jameson when she was 11. The day she got her cycle, she was put to work as one of his “favored girls”. Do you know who her first client was, Mrs. Oliver? That’s right, your disgusting excuse of a husband,” he barked at her as the rest of the pack gasped in horror.
I had seen Damian angry, but I had never seen him to the point of madness from anger. His eyes were switching between black and his gorgeous green. Uncle Rico and Maddix came to calm him down. Tears were streaming down his face from the anger, and his claws had extended. I think if she had spoken one more word in favor of Grant Oliver, he would have slit her throat.
My mate walked away on his own, but it was straight out the back door to the pack house. Once he reached the forest, he shifted and took off running. He linked me letting me know he would be alright, he just needed to run and maybe hunt to get his anger out. He told me he loved me, and that he was proud of me for not allowing that bitch to talk badly about me.
After he left, Mrs. Oliver tried to leave, but uncle Rico detained her. Maddix ordered that she be taken to his office for a private meeting. She wanted to see the horrible things he did as proof. Well, she was going to get it.
*MADDIX POV*
I had enough of this woman. I had no idea she was related to Grant, and had seen her around the pack all the time. After checking with my dads, they said that she had chosen to stay in the pack because of fear of the human world. Grant would come once or twice a month to see her, but about a year ago, the visits got fewer and farther between.
As I sat across from her, I thought of how I would deliver my words without starting another heated argument.
“Mrs. Oliver, you have asked to see proof of what we walked in on at the members-only dating club run by Jameson Issacs. We have all the surveillance footage not only from that day, but from the beginning of his time in the U.S. Unfortunately, we can’t get our hands on the ones from Canada,” I began to explain to her.
“We have reviewed all of it, and your husband was a frequent regular. I had my Gamma retrieve the footage that will show you him with the young human girl. She was hospitalized for almost a month after what he did to her. Before she was released from the hospital, she was notified she was pregnant. I can give you the affidavit from the hospital doctor if you would like.” I continued.
“I also have footage of several other young human girls who encountered him, and it’s clear in the footage that he ends up killing them. There are other situations, but aren’t relevant to your questions now. Lastly, there is footage of what he did to my sister while under the influence of Wolfsbane. So you can see, these incidences weren’t just ‘relations’,” I finished.
She sat staring me dead in the eye, contemplating my words. She gave a curt nod, and told me to start the footage. Before I did, I had to have Damian leave the room. I couldn’t have him lose control, and I felt it better to have him with Alette in her distraught state right now.
I had to busy myself with work, with earbuds in my ears. I couldn’t hear the sound coming from the footage. George and Henry sat in with me, as well as Pheonix. I witnessed this horror first hand, reliving it just to appease an old woman, infuriated me.
She held up her hand, asking me to stop. She was only a quarter of the way through what happened to Alette. “I’m sorry, Alpha, I was wrong. I didn’t know this side of Grant. I am honestly disgusted and feel like an idiot. I trusted him. I knew of his kink fetishes, and I couldn’t, no, wouldn’t fulfill them for him. So I knew he was going to the club. However, I didn’t know that the club owner allowed this kind of thing,” she cried. She asked to speak to my sister, and I advised her that now would not be the time to do so alone.
I called Damian and asked him to bring my sister up to the office. When Alette arrived, her anger started to show again. “Alette, please calm down. We have shown Mrs. Oliver the security footage to show that what happened to Grant was justified. She has something to say to you,” I told her.
Alette stood tall and crossed her arms over her chest. She cocked her hip and waited for the older woman to say what she needed to say.
