Exalted

Chapter 7

BREE'S P.O.V:

Grace was waiting for me in the car to go shopping, all I had left to do was avoid my step father grab some clothes and leave. I wanted at least a few of my own possessions, particularly some of the items that had belonged to my dear mother and father.

Despite this, Grace had insisted that Theo was appointing her to get me clothes and possessions as I had very little, thus explaining her random explosion about going shopping. With or without my belongings we were still going shopping.

I don't know why I had asked. At the time it felt like a good idea but now standing in front of the house with everyone unaware of the abuse I faced inside it, my body was rigid with fear.

"Just be quiet" I whispered under my breath.

Tentatively, I moved my feet which seemed to be dead weights at this moment in time and quietly unlocked the door and creeped round it, ensuring I didn't slam it afterwards.

I made my way up the creaky stairs, listening out for any signs of life. As I entered my room I grabbed the few possessions I owned and shoved them into my bag.

I heard footsteps.

They were racing towards me and without thinking I hid behind my door, terrified for my life.

It was silent. All I could hear was the rapid beating of my heart and as I peeked behind the door to see if I was alone I came face to face with the figure of my nightmares.

He roughly grabbed my arm.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"

Anger contorted on his face, he continued to scream and spit in my face.

He grasped his massive filthy hand around my weak fragile arm and dragged me outside of my bedroom, throwing me down the stairs to the marble kitchen floor like a rag doll.

Stars floated around in front of my eyes and it felt as if my heart was beating in my head.

What I saw next no longer terrified me and for some psychotic reason I welcomed it, hoping that I was in fact welcoming death.

A knife pierced my skin, scraping past my heart.

I screamed out in agony, without even acknowledging it tears had been pouring down my face.

My vision went black, spots invading every crevice of my eyesight. I let myself go limp with a slight smile on my lips.

I was happy... Happy to escape the pain.

Just before the ebony black took over, a terrifying growl ripped through my ears leaving me to dream of a wolf that I had never seen before.

...

GRACE P.O.V:

"Cause If you like the way you look that much, ohh baby you should go and love yourself."

My little sing a long was rudely interrupted by one of the most fearful shouts I had ever heard followed by a loud thump.

My instinct was to attack but I was on another packs territory and I knew instantly how fast I could be brought down.

Rapidly mind linking Theo I screamed in his ear,

'THEO!?! There's something wrong with Bree, she went into her pack house and I heard her scream. COME QUICK!! '

His only reply was an ear deafening growl.

I couldn't listen to her fragile sobs any longer, I ran towards the door but before I could take another leap, Theo cut me off bursting through the front door, an aura of absolute fury encasing him.

I did not dare move as I watched him lash out at alpha copper.

Punch after punch, kick after kick until he finally noticed his mates wheezing shallow breaths.

I watched in horror his father rushed forward without even glancing at me.

He had obviously been called to the dire circumstances and as alpha, he was the only one with the right to imprison another Alpha.

He grabbed Cooper who was now barely conscious and swiftly carried him off to our territory only after mind linking me to follow.

But I couldn't move, I was frozen in place as Theo emerged, teats pouring down his rock solid cheeks and that was all i saw before he ran. The pack doctor being his only focus.
