Thalia POV:
With Ares and Freya there to remind me that I was ok, I continued my story.
"I tried my best to fight them off, but with the fact that I was tied down, and they were all bigger than I was, there was nothing that I could do. All three of them had their way with me and there was nothing that I could do, no matter what I had tried. This continued for hours until Ms. Kathy realized that her husband was no longer in bed with her, and she went looking for him. The look on her face when she found him balls deep in me and grinning while telling me that I was a better slut than his wife was, scared me at the time. I had thought that she would think that I had done something to make him come after me and was worried that she would send me away like all the other families had.
When Peter looked up and saw that she was pissed, he pulled out of me and tried to tell her that it was all my fault. She growled at him and screamed that he was such a liar. She ripped all three of them off of me and threw them out of the room and slammed the door in their faces. She quickly untied me and held me close to her while she called 911. She made sure to tell me that I was not to blame for what had happened and that when I came back from the hospital I would never have to see them again. I was in the hospital for a whole week because they had torn me up really badly. When I came home, Peter and the boys were gone, and I was relieved. All the way up until I left Kathy's house, she protected me from every guy who tried to get with me. She thought that Percy was good for me and that is why she let me marry him. I met him when I was going to school with his sister, and we just hit it off. I miss Kathy and wish I knew where she was. Not long after I married Percy, she had moved cities and I never heard from her again. So that is my horrible story and I hope you can still love me." At this point, I was crying my eyes out. Freya had hopped up and went over to the little fridge that dad had in his office and was scratching at it. Leo got up and opened it for her. She grabbed a water bottle and trotted back over to the couch. Instead of giving it to me like she usually does, she stood next to Ares's head and dropped it next to him. She knew that I was not going to be able to open it myself, and she had been taught to bring it to the person closest to me.
Ares POV:
My girl has been hurt. No, she has flat out been abused, and she needed me more than ever. When her pup dropped the water bottle off next to me, I knew that she would need my help. I sat us both up and opened the bottle up and held it to her mouth. As she slowly started drinking, I found myself encouraging her to keep going. I knew that all the crying had probably dehydrated her, and she was going to need it. When she was done, I pulled her closer to me and snuggled my face into her neck. I took in her scent of freshly printed books and strawberries, calming both her and me down. After a few seconds, I pulled back and saw that her family had left a little bit ago. Leo linked me, saying that I should take her to the lake and let her know how I feel about her. He knew how long I have been waiting for her and knew that what she had gone through wouldn't change the way I feel for her. He told me to let her know that for tonight he would take care of Freya for her. I agreed with him and then turned to the beautiful angel in front of me.
"Little one, how about we take a run out to the lake? Leo says he will take care of your pup so we can spend time together tonight. Something tells me you would like to get out of the house." She nodded and went to get up only to crumple to the floor. "Little one! Are you ok?" I grabbed her before her head could hit the floor. "Yes I am ok, Ares. When I have attacks like this, my body tends to forget that it needs to function for me to go places," After hearing that I picked her up bridal style and started walking out of the pack house. She seemed to see that complaining wouldn't do anything for her, so she just decided to tuck her head into my neck and hold on for the ride.
We reached the lake in no time and I had set her down onto a rock that had a great view of the land. I stood for a moment with my back to her while thinking of how I was going to tell her how I felt about what she had told me. When I turned back to look at her I noticed that she was crying again. I rushed to her and held her close to me.
"Oh little one, why are you crying now? Please tell me because all I want in this world now is for you to only cry happy tears." I cooed at her while stroking her back.
She looked at me with those eyes that made my heart clench in pain, "Are you going to reject me Ares? I am so broken, and I wouldn't blame you if you did. How can anyone love me when..."
"Stop right there beautiful! First, there is no way in hell I will reject you when I have already fallen so deeply in love with you. I have been waiting for you for so long, and I am never letting you go. Second, I don't care if you are broken. I know for a fact that you are perfect just the way that you are, and I don't ever want you to change." I pulled her face up to look at me and I wiped the tears from her face. "I love you and so do your family. You are and will always be loved and don't you ever forget it."
She nodded and leaned forwards and placed her lips on mine. I froze for a moment but then relinquished myself to my mate. I know now that there was nothing that could take this beautifully strong and amazing woman from me and the second that someone ever tried, I would kill them.
