Silver POV
I woke up and it was finally my 16th birthday. I will get my wolf in two years from today. I was so excited to meet her. I was cleaning in the ballroom for the party this weekend. I wanted to do as much as I could by myself. The tables were the last thing that I wanted to move. I was doing everything on my own. Even my uncle was not happy that I wanted to do this on my own, but everyone I asked to help didn't do what I asked them to do, constantly trying to sabotage me and most of the pack didn't like me. I had maybe 4 people in my pack I could trust other than my uncle. They were all guys, and they were more like brothers than friends. They were there for me when my mom died.
They were going to help me, but I honestly needed alone time. I have had so much on my plate and needed some time to think. Thankfully, they told me they would be on standby if I ever needed them. They knew today was a rough day. My father hated that I had friends, especially 4 guys who were omegas and took him down when they saw my father hit me. They were put in the dungeon for 3 days, but when my uncle, who is Alpha, found out along with his beta, my father started singing a different tune, especially when we found out video cameras had been put up around the property in various places. He had it set up for specific things and the new surveillance room was under lock and key too. Thankfully, my uncle was smart. My thoughts began to run together so much that I didn't even realize the boys were behind me watching me wipe away tears.
Why are you guys here? I am not ready for you to help me yet. "We know, but we could feel you were upset," they said in unison. Just then I heard a small voice. I looked around to see who was talking, but it was just me and the guys. They had already begun moving tables and chairs. I had a diagram on the table I had set out to lay all my decorative supplies on. They were good at following directions, especially when it comes to my diagrams. As I continued back to my work, I began to climb up the ladder again when I started to get light-headed and fell backwards. Thankfully, Mark had been my spotter. He grabbed me so fast, and Leo grabbed a cup of water. Jackson had a chair brought over to me. Mark sat me down, and I wasn't sure what was happening. I sat there for a while sipping my water. I had been at this all day with very few breaks. The only thing I ate was a granola bar. I barely ate, because no one in my house would let me eat.
The boys finished all the decorations and got some of the tables set. I called it a day and, of course, the guys helped lock up the ballroom while Leo took me home. Jackson, Mark, and Tonie took care of what they could. My dad was less than pleased when he saw Leo with me. "I wanted to make sure she got home. She blacked out a couple of hours ago. I brought her home so she could rest," said Leo. No, she still had other things to take care of . Not my fault if she blacked out," said my father. Leo's face scrunched up, and he was so mad. " Why is it that everything to do with Silver is not your problem? You should be ashamed to be her father. All she has is her uncle, who is the Alpha by the way, me, Jackson, Mark, and Tonie who love her as she is. Why can't you? Her mom was not your mate, but you still loved her mom enough to have Silver. Maybe you should treat her the same as your other 2 kids. Make them help. She does so much for you, and you all treat her like crap.
She deserves more than you give her. She is constantly hungry, she is malnourished, she is barely surviving because of you. She has been treated better by me, her uncle, and other friends she has. You are her father though. Don't you have any dreams of giving her away to her mate on their wedding day? Don't you care if she graduates and goes to college?" said Leo. My Father grabbed me by my arm, pulling me into the house. He pulled me so hard and so fast he knocked me out. All I could do was lay still as I heard the door slam followed by lashes striking my body from his belt. I succumbed to the darkness as I heard the door being busted down. Tears fell from my face and I heard Leo and my Uncle.
After that I don't remember anything else. I felt like such a burden on the friends I did have and my uncle. I thought about leaving once I was done with school. My world has not come yet since I was only 16 years old. I did not know what day it was anymore. I felt like I was in eternal darkness. Amidst all the darkness, I saw a pale blue light, soft like the moon. The light got closer to me as I saw a wolf. She was so beautiful. She had white fur and deep dark blue eyes. Her fur was so soft and I could feel her emotions. She was scared she wasn't going to make it much longer, especially with how weak my body was. Before I knew it, I was pulled out of the darkness. I couldn't breathe, and I felt like I had something stuck in my throat. A doctor and a nurse came running in and all I could hear was a button being pressed over and over again.
"Do you want the tube out?" asked the doctor. All I could do was move my hand. He squeezed my hand, letting me know he understood. He pulled the tube out slowly so he would not ruin my throat. When he got it out, all I could do was cough. A nurse rushed in with a cup of ice-cold water. In between coughing sessions, I took sips. When they put the nasal canals on me for more oxygen, I was able to catch my breath a little easier. In between sips of water and breathing, I tried to tell my doctor what my wolf told me. "Sh.... It's OK, catch your breath, then we can talk. It will be OK. I will do everything I can to help you. You're not going back home. Your uncle has a room for you at his house. He is getting you new everything as I have instructed. Your father has been stripped of his Gamma rank and thrown in the dungeon for a month to live under the same conditions he put you through.
Your siblings are stripped from being Gamma's until they can prove that they can do better. You're the next Gamma unless you lose your wolf. I actually need to talk to your wolf if possible, but I don't want to put you or your wolf in danger. In the mean time I have some medicine for you to take through the IV and I want to keep giving you fluids. I will have Rebecca bring you some soft foods so you can at least have something on your stomach. When you are done eating, hit the red button, so I know to come in. I'll let the nurses know up front about it so they know how to grab me," said the doctor. My name is Neal. My parents liked Patrick Neal, so I got named after him. I will be back when you press the red button when you are done eating.
So I have a wolf who may not make it and I don't know her name. I watered as I was told to, I pressed the button as I was told so the doctor and I could talk. He came in 20 minutes after I pressed the button, but that was OK. I had questions and now I wanted answers. HE sat in his chair checking my vitals and noticed my vitals had gone up after eating. With my father, half siblings, and stepmother, I was not allowed to eat. I told the doctor what I had been through since my mom got ill, the love letters, and how I was treated so he could help me get better. I was covered in scars that were not healing very well. He knew I had a wolf but because I was so weak, it made my wolf weak.
He had it set in the system for me to have 3 meals a day and 3 snacks a day. I was severely weak, and he wanted to restore my strength. In time, as I grew stronger, so would my wolf. Of course, that is what the doctor was telling me. This was the only way to help me and my wolf, and then I would work on summoning her later. I still had no idea how long I had been out. All I knew was it was dark out when my window was open so I could see the stars. Leo and the guys must have told the doctor what happened to me. I spent so much time paying attention to everything I didn't notice anyone on the couch.
I jumped when I saw blankets moving on the couch in my room. I had not noticed someone was sleeping on the couch until the man sat up, and it wasn't Leo, Jackson, Mark, or Tonie on the couch. It definitely was not my alpha, whom I remind you is my uncle. Most of us do not find our mates till we are 18, but I guess the moon goddess had other plans. This man getting up off the couch in my hospital room was my mate and I knew it, so did my wolf. We were both so weak, but for some reason we both tried to move off the bed. He moved so fast I didn't even see him till he caught me. "Don't get out of bed, you rest," he said.
I finally asked I should have asked. How long have I been out, and who are you? " I am King Jasper, I am the new Lycan king. I just turned 19 and took over for my father, King Arthur. He told me what happened to him and I came down here to see everything. That was 3 days ago," he said. The doctor came back in and checked all my vitals again. " Hey doctor, you need to tell Silver how long she has been out. I have only been here for 3 days. You do not leave anything out. She needs to know. I also need to know." Said King Jasper.
He was sitting down on the chair and he grabbed my hand. " You have been out for 3 months. Your dad injured you very badly. We aren't even sure why or how you woke up," said the doctor. I noticed King Jasper looking at the doctor holding my hand and still holding my hand. I could tell King Jasper did not like it and he started to growl. Even though I was his mate, no werewolf was allowed to have their mate no matter what, till they were 18 years old or older. I knew he knew I was his mate. Since I knew early I wondered how things would work for me since I got my wolf and mate at 16 instead of 18.
Before the doctor left, he told me my uncle would be coming in the morning. I had gone through so much, and he didn't want me to be so stressed out that I went backwards. I still didn't know the name of my wolf, but I did know my mate's name. I had never been in a situation like this. I was hoping that everything would work out with this in time. Maybe my uncle would know what to do. Surely he is an alpha, he has run into something like this before. Before I knew it, my Uncle was theirs. He looked at my face and my hands. I had not seen myself yet, but I could feel how swollen my face was, and my hands were defiantly swollen. You could see how swollen my hands were, and they were bruised consistently by my father's boots, which were also steel towed boots.
