When It's Time

Damaged

Olyvia POV

After what seems like forever the sounds outside begin to quiet before I hear the guard “Alpha.” he says, bowing respectfully. I see the man who has been holding me captive and torturing me for the last six months before my cell is opened, causing me to curl back into a ball in an attempt to get away from him. “Your mate is here. Maybe now you will unleash your powers for me. My witch here is just dying to give them to me, see?” he says before throwing a small woman, clearly beaten and exhausted. “Now, when your mate gets here you can watch me kill him.” he says smirking at me before picking me up by my hair, holding me in a headlock. I whimper hearing a loud, angry growl before seeing the largest wolf I have ever seen. It’s black fur matted with blood, while his familiar eyes hold an anger unimaginable. “Ah finally.” My captor says before raising a gun, “Now, unleash them or he dies.” he says before looking at the small woman. “She’s not ready.” is all the witch says before he pulls the trigger causing time to slow. I scream as a white light comes from me, surrounding my mate and saving him from the silver laced bullet. The witch begins chanting, causing an intense fiery pain to shoot through my body before she stops. “Stop please.” my guard says before falling to his knees in front of her, “Mate.” he says before she throws her arm to the side, causing a sharp piece of metal to fly through the air, stabbing my captor in his arm, freeing me from his hold. “YOU b***h!” he yells before the large, black wolf tackles him. I cower into the corner as blood is splattered across the room from the attack by the black wolf. 

Jax POV

I gave him no mercy, I couldn’t even if I wanted to as Dawson took over once we saw him holding our mate. I hear the soft whimpering of Olyvia and slowly go to her, seeing her cowering form in the corner. “She’s been beaten and abused since she got here, please be careful.” I hear the man in front of the witch say, causing a growl in response from Dawson. I decide it’s best to shift back before approaching my mate. I quickly shift and look at the witch “Thank you.” I say before going to Olyvia, picking her up to bring her home. Once we arrive at the pack doctor, he takes her into another room. It doesn't take long before I hear Olyvia screaming, making me barge into the room seeing her balled in the corner crying, screaming if anyone goes near her. “What did you do!” I yelled at the doctor “Nothing, I went to lift her shirt to assess her wounds and I was thrown back and she started screaming and crawled to where she is now. I think the past six months has done more mental damage than physical.” He says before leaving the room in search of a female doctor. “It’s okay princess ,I’m here.” I say as I scoop her into my arms. Bringing her to the hospital bed and softly setting her down as the new doctor walks in, “I will allow you to stay as long as you keep your composure. The first time you lose it and you will not be allowed back in here until I am finished. Understood?” she says aggressively. “Yes ma’am.” I say back, respecting that for her this is her house. She has been with the pack all of her life and has trained all of our current doctors. She retired years ago but with my mate’s newfound fear of men she came to assist. “I am Belinda, some of this may hurt a bit but I need to make sure you are okay. If it gets to be too much, tell me and we will take a break.” she tells my mate as she approaches her.

Olyvia POV

“Okay.” I say as she approaches slowly. I slowly lay back, gripping Jax’s hand in mine, “I need you to remove your clothes, I can help or if you rather your mate to that is also fine.” she tells me before handing me a hospital gown. “Jax.” I whimper softly as he helps me stand. “I will be back shortly.” she says before walking out of the door. I look down as Jax helps me undress and get into the hospital gown, refusing to meet his eyes. “Please look at me.” he pleads, softly raising my chin with his finger. Looking him in his eyes I can see the swirl of emotions, anger, sadness, love, all flashing through his eyes. “I’m so sorry, you will never go through this again I promise.” he says before pulling me into a tight hug. Inhaling his scent I can feel the tears begin to pour down my face. Finally I am safe. Helping me get back onto the bed as the doctor walks in, he keeps a hold of my hand as she pokes and prods, checking for any serious internal wounds. “It looks as if all her wounds internally have healed, the bruises will fade quickly. Please be gentle and careful around her, give her time to recover.” she says before leaving again. Jax kisses my forehead softly before his eyes become hazy, a knocking sound coming from the door shortly after. Opening the door to reveal a maid and cart, “I figured you may be hungry.” he tells me before taking the cart and dismissing the maid. Setting the tray on my lap he takes the cover revealing a small steak with veggies on the side. ‘Mmmm good idea mate.’ Mia says in approval as I slowly begin to eat the food. Jax quickly stands, causing me to flinch in fear before seeing the sadness return to his eyes. “My dad wants me to meet him in his office, I will be back shortly my princess.” he says before kissing my head and leaving the room.
