Katherine's Time

Chapter 6

Kate P.O.V.

I feel the cold of the stone wall against my front. I can’t move my hands or feet. I hear the chain every time I try to move. I know what is in store for me and I wish I didn’t. Why can’t I just be free? I can smell his sulfurous scent and feel his cold hands roam my naked body. I just want to get away from here. I cry as I feel him enter me from behind. I feel disgusted with myself that I allowed this man to take from me the one thing I was saving for the man I would marry. I can tell when he is close to his release as he grips my hips even tighter and moves faster. He pulls out of me and cums all over my ass. I can’t stand the feel of his seed on me in any way. He grabs my hair and pulls my head back to whisper in my ear, “I have more plans for you.” He walks away and I hear him grab something off the table he keeps at the far side of the room. When he comes back to me, I feel the coolness of the knife right before he slides it along my ribs. I can feel my blood run down my side. I hear someone call my name from far away. I turned my head trying to find the source. I know this voice. It gets louder and louder.

I shot up out of my sleep gasping for breath and covered in sweat. I feel hands on me, and I try to break away from them before I hear someone say, “Calm down, it’s only me.” I try to slow my heart down as I look around and see Chad holding me. As I look at him tears fall from my eyes like waterfalls. I can't seem to calm down. Chad gets into the bed with me and just wraps me in his arms. He holds me against his chest, whispering to me that everything will be alright now. Telling me over and over again that I'm not alone anymore. I don’t know how long I cried for, but at some point, darkness took over and I fell into the oblivion of a dreamless sleep.

Chad P.O.V.

I pull the covers up over her as she falls asleep. Liam tells me and Will to get some sleep ourselves since we have training in the morning. I walk back to my room and I keep seeing the scars on her back every time I close my eyes. Just a mosaic of white criss- cross lines in every direction. I can't believe anyone would ever hurt someone like Katherine. I can see that she is still so sweet despite being broken from everything that Ian put her through. I can hear my wolf, Rex, growling as he paces in the back recesses of my mind. "Rex, I know how you feel, but you have to stop pacing. You are giving me a headache." I felt him stop as he said, "I 'm sorry, I just really want to hurt him. I know we have no real relation to her but I'm compelled to protect her. I don't know why I am, I just am." I think about what she has said so far, and realize that he is right, I also feel compelled to protect her but have no idea why. I hear him snort, "I'm always right, and you know this." I ignore his comment as I feel a burning sensation on the inside of my left arm. I pull my sleeve up and watch as the word, "Cosantoir"(Irish for Protector) looks to be tattooed there. The burning is still there and I watch as a Celtic star appears right next to it. The moon goddess has chosen me to protect her. I feel Rex puffing up with pride that we were chosen over the others. Before I can fully think about what this means, I start to feel panicked and then I feel fear coursing through my veins, it takes me a second to realize that I'm feeling what she is feeling. I ran as fast as I could through the pack house and threw her door open to she her thrashing about on the bed. I can hear her heavy breathing as the fear gets worse. I ran over to the bed and try to wake her up. After a few minutes of me trying she bolts upright in bed looking scared. I hold her in my arms and tell her over and over again that she is going to be ok. She just cries at my words, she finally cries herself to sleep and I lay her back down. I crawl into bed next to her and just hold her so she doesn't have anymore nightmares. At some point, I fall asleep as well. I'm woken up by Liam yelling through the mind- link, "Chad wake the hell up, you have training. I don't care how much sleep you got, get the f**k down here." I carefully extract myself from her and move down to my room and get ready for training. As i get to the training field and remove my shirt Will grabs my arm and says, "When did you get this done? It wasn't there yesterday." This gets Liam's attention so he comes over to look at it too. Liam just nods his head and said, "Looks like he was chosen to help her. He now has an emotional connection with her that will run deeper than any other." That explains why I felt her fear last night. I just shrug it off and get to training.

Unknown P.O.V.

I watch as she gets out of the taxi in front of the pack, she looks so broken and despondent. I watch as Liam takes her inside and up to the Alpha suite. I had hoped he would put her there. That means that I can watch her from where I'm currently sitting. I have no idea what happened to her that caused her to be the way she is, but I will find out and they will die by my hands. I continue to watch her as much as I can. I watch as Liam, Will and Chad talk to her. but when she gets up and faces the window, with the moonlight shining on her all I see is the beautifully broken woman she has become. I see her lift the back of her shirt as she talks to them. Then i see Chad put his arms around her to comfort her and I see red. I should be the one to do that, not him. Why did the moon goddess do this to me? I don't understand, we are meant to always be together. I calm myself and watch as Liam makes her part of the pack before she falls asleep. I'm about to head back to my home when i sense some fear coming from her. I looked closely into her room and see her thrashing about on the bed. She is having a nightmare. Before I can do anything, I see Chad burst into the room and comfort her and put her back to sleep. I don't know how i'm going to get through all if this, if i'm even going to be able too. I need to be with her. I hope the moon goddess knows what she is doing, because if i put all of them through all this for no reason there will be hell to pay.
