The New Wolf

Chapter 8

*TRIGGER WARNING*

This chapter has sensitive content. This chapter contains abuse, blood, and r**e.

He was wasted. My step dad, Eric, started calling me names and then soon after started hitting me.

The day before my tenth birthday, he was wasted. "Kelly, get up!" He yelled from downstairs. I was asleep, for once, without getting hit before going to sleep. Maybe he realized this and woke me up just to beat on me.

I ran downstairs and stood in front of him. He smiled at me and patted my head like he used to. Thinking my stepfather was back to normal like he was years ago, I hugged him.

That was a very bad mistake.

"Why. The. f**k. Are. You. Hugging me for!" He pushed me down on the floor and kicked my lower back.

"You are a disgrace to this line! You haven't even shifted!"

kick!

"You are pathetic!"

punch!

I wanted to cry so badly. But if I do, it will only get worse. So I stay silent.

"Eric! What are you doing to her!" Mom yelled from the door.

She started to come closer to help me, but he growled and hit her. Mom fell to the ground and didn't get up. She was knocked out.

That was the first time she ever saw this. Whenever Eric would beat me, he made sure no one was around.

The next thing I know, I'm being lifted up by my arm and thrown into the living room. I look up to see Eric grab a big knife and come towards me.

Trying to scramble to my feet, I feel my left leg get cut open, and then I cry out in pain when I hear a loud CRACK!

My step dad got on top of me and turned me around. "You are pathetic, Kelly!" he spat at me. My tears were pooling out by now, I couldn’t help it after feeling my leg break and being sliced open.

He started to undo his pants and take my shorts off. I struggled to get out of his grasp, but he was way too strong. I felt the knife at my throat, making me whimper.

The pain I felt after was unbelievable. He cut my throat. Not enough to kill me instantly but enough so he could watch me die as he took my virginity away. I saw Max come into the house. He was livid. I was pleading with my eyes for him to help me, to make it stop and to take me away.

Then came darkness.

"Kelly, wake up!" a voice yelled into the darkness. "God damn it, Kel, wake up!"

Opening my eyes, I screamed and cried into someone's bare chest.

"It's ok. It was just a dream. Nothing is going to hurt you." Jason whispered sweet nothings to me as he rubbed my back.

"N-no I-it wa-wasn't a dream!" I sobbed. "It was a-a-m-memory!"

Max came running in with Jeff right behind. "Kelly." Was all Max could say when he looked into my eyes. Knowing just what memory I had relived. He went to grab me from Jason, but Jason growled.

"Let me see her, Jason. You have no idea what she has been through just now." And with that, I was in Max's arms. The only reason Max knew of that night was because he was there.

"He's gone, Kelly. You know that. He can never hurt you again." He was talking about my step dad. My real dad was killed before Alexander was born. He was a good guy. My step dad was the one who r***d me and beat me.

"I miss Zander!" I cried. Alexander was the only one nice to me after Max left. Zander and Max are the only two besides my mom and uncle Mike and I that know what happened that night.

"I know, Kelly. I know. I’ll be back." was all he said before giving me to Jason and leaving.

I cried even more, knowing that he was in pain also. The image of me under Eric bleeding to death and Eric raping me. I knew it hurt him almost as much as it hurt me. He had thought I died once my eyes closed.

Max's POV

*Flashback*

God, that bastard was a d**k! I thought as I ran away from the pack house. Eric could die, and no one would miss him. Not even Aunt Area, Kelly's mom.

He called and told me to go pick up Alexander and take him to see a movie. I agreed, and now I'm picking Zander up. "Hey, little man!" his little eight year old legs ran to me as he yelled,"Uncle Max!"

I'm their real dad's youngest brother. Mom had him at 16 and me at 30. Four years after I was born, Kelly was born nine months later. Then, a yearish later, Alexander. Then my brother died.

"How about you and I go see a movie?" I asked as I grabbed his hand and started walking. His little face lit up, and he nodded eagerly. We went to the movies and then went back home.

It was ten at night, and I heard Kelly's scream. Zander looked up at me, and his face was scared, and pain was mixed in.

Alex and Kelly have a bond where they feel each other's emotions. Maybe not as bad as the one who is actually feeling it, but he still feels some pain. Normally, only twins share that strong of a bond, but I think the Moon Goddess wanted these two to be close for some reason.

We ran into the house, and I saw Eric on top of Kelly. He was covered in her blood, and she was bleeding everywhere. Her neck, her leg, face, there was even blood coming from under the lower half of her. That was when I really saw what he was doing to her.

This sick man was raping my little K. I bent down and told Zander to call the pack doctor and his uncle Mike. The man that should be Alpha. I saw her eyes pleading for me to help her and then close as she lost consciousness from the loss of blood, and I lost it. I shifted and ran towards him. The ass wasn't paying attention, and I bit his shoulder, throwing him off her. I’m going to kill him! He thinks he can get away with doing this to MY niece?!

He laughed and shifted. He was the Alpha, but not for long, Mike was on his way. He was Area’s older brother. The man who was supposed to be Alpha after Kelly's father died. Mike wasn't ready to take control. He was the Beta, but the pack wanted him as Alpha instead of Eric. But Eric got what he wanted, being the second brother of our previous Alpha.

Not paying attention, Eric lunged at me, but I dodged him and bit into his back. We did this for a little while until he finally got a hit to my back. I tackled him and pushed him outside so the doctor could get to Kelly.

We circled around each other. He made the first move when he snapped at my back leg. I kicked his face, and he fell back a little. Maxwell, my wolf, wanted to be in control. I know we have the same name. It's honestly more common than you would think.

I was about to let him, but Mike came into the fight. His big dark brown wolf stood over Eric's spotted brown and black wolf. They started fighting. So I left and went to check on Kelly.

‘We should back Mike up!’ My wolf argued.

‘I understand, but our Kelly needs us. It's best we let the Alpha handle this Max.’ I argued. He huffed and left it alone. I know I'll have to make it up to him and go hunting, but Kelly needs us right now, and from the looks of it, Mike has it covered. Looking at Mike’s wolf, he is bigger, and you can tell that he is the Alpha wolf, not that pathetic piece of crap.

Getting back to Kelly, they rushed her to the pack hospital after her mom woke up. Mike won the fight, so now he is Alpha. Where he belongs. Kelly was a little better a week later. It took her three weeks to heal.

She has Alpha blood in her, but she hasn't shifted yet. We think she may be a late bloomer. Kelly never talked about it to anyone. She didn’t even know about the pack or werewolves.

*End of flashback*

(Still in Max's POV)

I told my mate Alexis what happened when I came back from my run. She cried for Kelly. Knowing what happened to her, Alex left to go comfort her. I was fine with it. I needed to talk to Jason anyway. Getting up, I walk to his office.

"Hey Jason, I need to talk to you." I yelled as I knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

"I have to find someone, and I need to leave now. It's for Kelly." At the mention of her name, his head snapped up. What's with him lately?

"Um ya sure, go ahead, Max. Just be back soon. We will be expecting some guests soon." Then he went back to his work.

Kelly is going to kill me for this. I thought as I left the borders of the pack.

Kelly's POV

Alexis has been here with me for the whole night. We talked and ate ice cream as we watched movies in my room. I’m so glad Max has her in his life. She’s awesome, sweet, and a great friend. Honestly, perfect for Max.

Tyler came in and stayed with us as did Jeff and Jason. Tyler was between Alex and I while Jason was next to me. Jeff was on a couch next to the T.V.

"Kelly! Can you come down here, please?" Max's voice yelled. Everyone got up and ran down before me and me. I laughed and shook my head.

As I got to the last step, I saw someone I thought I would never see again.
