Chapter 0068
“We need your input on a situation and it’s a story we don’t plan on telling more than once.” I say as my mother comes into the room.
“What happened? Is everyone okay?” She does a quick scan of the group. “Where’s Skylar? If Sierra is here, why is Sky missing?”
“We need everyone here first.” I say again.
“Now I’m worried, you boys have never been secretive before.” Dad sneaks a look at my mom. They are having their own private conversation.
I just sit, I’m not saying it again. My wolf is getting angrier by the moment. Sky was right, we have never had to really deal with pack situations, even with all the ‘training’ we do. They don’t trust us to handle anything and have never forced us to handle things. They are more concerned with the fact that we are out of bed early, than the fact we have requested a meeting with the whole leadership. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Delta Kyle and Gamma Brett rush in. “What’s going on?” Kyle asks, taking in the same group assessment that my mom did. “Where’s Skylar? Is she okay?” The two people who know she is going through things noticed she was the only one missing from our group. Neither my father or her own cared to notice.
“How long have you been helping Sky with her injuries from her bullies?” I look between the Delta and my mom, not wasting any time.
“Long enough, why do you ask?” Delta Kyle crosses his arms, making him look wider than he already is.
“Did you know about her being whipped?” I keep my eyes trained right on him.
“Yes, I have been giving her the salve to help the scars the silver powder made.” The delta keeps his face composed, but I see the tick in his cheek from clenching his jaw. My mother gasps and covers her mouth. The silver powder was news to her, interesting. Gamma Brett moves closer to her, concern flashing in his eyes briefly.
“Did you know that wasn’t the first time she was whipped?” Olivers asks, catching on to what I was doing.
“What do you mean, ‘wasn’t the first time?’” Gamma Brett tilts his head slightly.
“What silver powder?” My mom asks. I ignore her.
“She was whipped, to almost unconsciousness, silver powder was added to make the pain worse and the healing slower since she healed too fast the first time and then she was left in the forest behind the packhouse to fend for herself or die. The person or people who tortured her believed no one cared if she lived or died, and the point was hit home when she was out there for two f*cking days and NONE OF US NOTICED SHE WAS MISSING!” Mateo stands as he starts to shout. “She had to rely on herself and her wolf to recover while we were having a party at the packhouse.” He’s pacing now, making an attempt at pulling his hair out. Oliver stands ready to restrain him if needed.
“You need to relax, son. I don’t know what stories your sister has been telling you, but she is being dramatic. She has never gone missing and I would know if she had her wolf.” Beta Daniel says too calmly, trying to take a step towards his son.
“How the f*ck would you know?! You don’t even acknowledge her presence when she is in the room, you made her believe she is worthless and unwanted. That she will never be good enough. She believes it’s her job to take this abuse.” Mateo sounds almost deranged as he spits the words out.
“Well maybe it is. She brings trouble wherever she goes.” The beta shrugs his shoulders and Mateo lunges at him, grabbing him around the neck and slamming him against a wall using the other to punch any part of his father he can reach. We all jump up, but it's Delta Kyle and Gamma Brett who get to them first and I must say I am proud of the fight Mateo is giving them. He is not going to let this go easily. They finally get Mateo off of him and start dragging him to the other side of the room, putting all of us in between.
