I mouthed ‘water’ to Rebecca and she yelled at Jason to grab a bottle of water quickly, and he ran to complete the task. “Is she awake? He asked. “I think she is trying to communicate with us. Let me give her some water.” Rebecca replied. She took the bottle and placed it at my lips.

The ice-cold liquid felt good on my scratchy throat. I took a few more drinks, and managed to get out the words I had been dying to say. “Where are they Jason?” I heard him clear his throat and he replied, “Mel, don’t worry about them anymore. We are going somewhere safe. First things first though. When we get to where we are going, we get you medical treatment. They did a number on you this time, I’m afraid. I am so sorry I left you Mel. So very sorry.” I could hear the pain in his voice, and I knew he was beating himself up over this.

I took my good arm and reached out to him. He took my hand and brought it to his cheek. “Melly, I promise to never leave you alone again. I promise to protect you at all costs. You are my baby sister and I will spend the rest of my life making up for all I have done, for all they have done.” I tried to giggle, but it sounded more like a wheezing cat.

I squeezed his hand as hard as I could and whispered, “You have nothing to feel bad for Jason. You didn’t do this to me, and I told you to leave me there. So don’t you dare beat yourself up over this. Just help me. The past is in the past and we are going to keep it there, OK?” His jaw dropped and he shook his head. “How? How can you be so forgiving to me? I used to be just as bad if not worse than them. I need to earn your trust and love again, Mel, and I will. Now get some rest. Rebecca is going to sit in here with you and help clean you up. I am going to the front to sit with Trinity. If you need me, let Rebecca know, OK?” He then got up and moved towards the front of the jet we were in.

Rebecca went and got some warm water and soap and cleaned me the best she could. She even figured out a way to wash my hair. As she was washing down my body, I heard her gasp as she reached my pubic area. I was so sore down there, and in my anal area and couldn’t understand why. “What is it Rebecca? What’s wrong? I can’t see it, you know.” I asked her, and I was afraid to hear her reply. She took a deep breath and replied, “Melian, I need you to be honest with me, OK? I need to know If you have ever had sex before.” Shocked at the question, I quickly told her that I hadn’t, and that I was saving myself for my mate.

“Sweety, I hate to even assume this, but I think you were raped and sodomized. When we get to my brothers’ pack, we need to have a rape kit done, OK? I will be with you every step of the way. You aren’t alone now, nor will you ever be. Never again,” she stated as gently as she could. Raped? No…..please not rape. It would make sense as to why I had the feeling I did down there, but that hadn’t even crossed my mind. Not only would that be rape, but also incest. I burst into tears and even through my swollen eyes they fell like rain. I pleaded to the moon goddess the best I could, begging her not to let this be true. Rebecca held me as I cried, and comforted me the best was she knew how. Comfort was a foreign feeling at the moment, and I’m not sure it would ever be something I could feel again.

I must have cried myself asleep, because I was awakened by Jason telling me we were landing. Rebecca must have finished cleaning me up, because I no longer felt grimy and had warm clean clothes on. He helped me sit up and drink some more water. Telling me we would eat when we got to Blood Moon. “Blood Moon? Rebecca’s old pack?” He nodded and said that they were going to take us in, but we needed to do something before we leave the plane and step foot on their land. I felt like I had heard that before, and asked him to explain it to me again.

After listening, I told him I had no problem with doing what was asked. He called Rebecca back to where we were sitting, and told her to bring Trinity back too. We all sat together, with Trinity on my lap. We embraced each others hands and one by one denounced our ties and loyalties to the Mystic Shadows pack. I could feel the ties snap and it felt like a ton of bricks had been lifted off of me. Then the realization hit me. We are now Rogues, and that was dangerous. “Jason? What is happening now? We are rogues, and that isn’t safe for us right now.” He gave a chuckle and replied, “Technically, yes. However, not for long. We are going to be joining Blood Moon, Mel. If that is OK with you, that is.” I breathed a sigh of relief and nodded my head. A new pack who knew nothing about my history was just what I needed.

The Truth

*Jason POV*

When Rebecca came to me in tears after helping get Melian cleaned up, I wasn’t sure what I expected to hear. What I definitely didn’t expect was to hear that she thought my dad and brothers had raped and sodomized Mel. My blood started to boil, and my wolf, Edward, wanted to come out badly. “Are you sure Bex?” I asked my mate. She nodded and told me what she had seen, and that Mel had told her she was a virgin. My heart sunk. I was sick at the thought of them doing that to their own blood.

I could see Eric being aggressive with other women, but not his sister. Then there’s Todd. He’s gay. Why would he want to do that to her? Suddenly, the bile from my stomach got caught in my throat. Did dad do this to her? I sank to my knees in disbelief and tried to come up with a plan to find out exactly what happened. It was going to be tricky considering we were about to break all ties to our pack, but I would figure out a way. I thought long and hard for awhile and finally it clicked. I needed a mole in the pack, and I knew exactly who to reach out to. Nicholas Turner.

He was one of the warriors of the Mystic Shadows, and deep down he hated my dad. He made it well known to me one night when we were at the pub getting knackered. He is pretty good friends with my brother Eric, but not so close that he wouldn’t do this for me. Especially after he finds out why I am asking him to get the information. I explained my plan to Rebecca and we agreed to smooth it out to make it fool-proof once we were settled. There was no reason to stress it now when there were other things more important to tend to at the moment.

Once we finally landed, Trinity and I immediately went to check on Melian. Rebecca had ridden in the back of the plane, where Mel was finally resting. “Is she awake?” I asked my mate. She shook her head and said, “She hasn’t waken since she passed out earlier. Jason, I’m really worried about her.” I nodded and agreed that I was too, and asked her to speak to the pilot about how we would go about unboarding. She stood up and kissed my cheek, and took our daughter to do as I asked.

I sat next to Melian and tried to wake her, but she didn’t move or make a sound. I checked her pulse, and she had a heartbeat, but her breathing was shallow. “Rebecca!” I yelled. I jumped up and ran to the cockpit to inform everyone that we needed to get my sister to the hospital as soon as possible. “Her breathing was shallow and her heart was slowly beating.” I told them.

The pilot immediately got on his radio and informed the tower that he needed a medic at the point of where we would be stopping.The airport was owned by the Blood Moon pack, so we didn’t have to worry about human doctors. The plane finally came to a stop and when the doors opened and stairs descended, a crew of medics rushed on board. They brought a spine board to put Mel on and quickly rushed her into an ambulance. The medics that stayed behind to get information told us that she would be taken to the hospital in the pack territory, and we could meet them there. Rebecca and I got off the plane and I helped the men unload our belongings and put our stuff in the SUV my brother-in-law had sent. I let my mate drive because I couldn’t focus on the road. My mind was everywhere. I placed my hand on Becca’s knee so that her touch would help calm me. The things I was imagining about what happened to my little sister were haunting me, and the need for blood to avenge her was eating away at me.

“She’s going to be OK, Jason. She lost a lot of blood before you got to her. She is also in shock, so her low pulse and shallow breathing are normal. Keep faith, my love. My aunt Roxy is going to come and get Trinity so that we can concentrate on Melian. She’s going to bring us food too.” Rebecca said. I nodded my head and squeezed her knee. Still in a daze, my phone started to ring. It was Eric. Reluctantly, I answered, “Hello, Eric.” “Where the fuck are you and your family, Jason? Dad has been over to your house 5 times and no one is answering, and Michael said that Rebecca had left the packlands with Trinity late last night and didn’t come back.” He yelled through the phone. “Rebecca’s family in Seattle had an emergency so we had to rush there. We will be back in a few days. Why is he looking for me?” I replied as calmly as I could.

“He wants all of us to prepare Melian’s funeral. Your sister is dead and you are off mingling with your mate’s family. That is pretty shitty, bro.” Eric sneered. “Tell me again how she died, please. Dad was kind of vague.” I asked him. I heard him snicker and finally said, ” Are you sure you want to know? It’s not a pretty scenario.” Shaking my head and trying to control my anger, I told him to tell me. “You asked for it, J. Let’s just say things got a little carried away. I killed her by ramming her head into a table, fucking her to death and then kicked her over and over. Dad told the coroner that she had been in a car accident,” he admitted.
