Lilian's POV
Yet another birthday that dad missed. Me and my two brothers, Jesse and Austin, turned 15 today. But dad was at the hospital with mom. I haven't been able to meet my mom in person, yet. I was told that when me and my brothers were born, something went wrong and she never woke up. I remember talking to her though, when I was in the womb. Dad doesn't like to talk to us much, says we remind him to much of mom, but when he drinks I don't think he realizes that me and him stay up all night talking about mom.
He's lost without his mate. You see, when a werewolf looses a mate it drives them to the brink of insanity. And the only thing that helps our father is alcohol. He says that it makes him numb, when he drinks enough. Hell, the only time I've seen him sober was when he is visiting mom in the upstairs home hospital. Don't get me wrong, our dad is by far not a bad guy, in fact he's one of the best men I know. Even with the loss of his mate, he's still an amazing alpha. Being a great dad, well that's a completely different story all together. He's never once been mean to me, or my brothers. But sometimes being a dad is also being there for your children, not just giving them whatever they want and having other people raise your children. Maybe if he was there, when he needed to be... this family wouldn't be as broken as it truly is.
*5 years ago*
I was trying to find Austin and Jesse but they were so good at hiding! They were always teaming up against me to win in games. But I can't complain, they're both so over protective of me (even though I'm older than Austin by 3 minutes!) that I know, if I were to get upset one brother would sell out the other brother.
It's starting to get dark out, but I'm to stubborn to give up. Going deeper into the forest, I hear someone behind me. I keep going on as if I hear nothing, thinking to myself it was one of my brothers trying to scare me, laughing in my head at how my brothers underestimate me. I'll just go around this last tree and then turn around and scare them, that'll teach them! I had it all planned out in my head, and I was ready for it. Until, a hand wraps around my wrist... and its not my brothers.
Instincts kick in and I turn around quickly, ready to scream. But I'm not fast enough. I'm staring into the eyes of an older man, with a wild spark in his eyes and a malicious smirk on his face. By that time I was beyond terrified, and also beyond help. He had me right where he wanted me. I tried to run, scream, fight... whatever I had to do but I was so small compared to him. He was a werewolf, not from the pack, but a werewolf none the less. Before I knew it he had me pinned up against a tree, he was mumbling to himself while digging in his pocket for something. No matter how hard I struggle he just doesn't seem phased by it!
"She's going o be perfect, I'm sure I won't get any tighter than this one..." . As his words echo in my head the reality of the situation sinks in. How could I be so stupid! I knew I should have headed back when it started getting darker.
Struggling even more, I manage to get a hand free. Scratching the man across the face I could only hope it would distract him enough for me to make a break for it. Just my luck though, the scratch only seemed to entice him more, throwing me to the ground I don't even have enough time to catch my breath before he's on top of me.
When you hear the word "rape" you never think it will happen to you. And at the age of 10 you don't even know what it really means. But as I was held down on the forest floor, silently crying, screaming into the cloth shoved in my mouth, trying my hardest to get away... I was trying so hard to mind link my dad that finally he put down his wall. Just in time for me to say 'I'm sorry'.
I died after those words were said to my father, he was speaking to an empty shell, my soul drifted away. To a place where there was nothing but darkness. He told me to hang on, he said he would be there soon, he kept repeating how sorry he was for not being there.
And soon there were many wolfs, my father included, surrounding the man. They tore him to shreds, but I couldn't find it in me to move from the cold ground. This the place where I died, where I lost a part of me that I will never be able to get back. My father was the one to carry me to the hospital that night. He was the one to carry me out of the woods, to hold my hand through all the examinations, to cry for me because I couldn't find it in me to cry myself.
Later that night, when we were home, and everyone had left the house..... that was the first night I say my father pick up a drink, and drink his problems away. This was the night where my father finally gave up his fight, and he too lost a part of himself that he will never get back.
*Present day*
Dad never truly forgave himself for what happened to me. Sometimes when he's completely wasted, when he's had a really rough day, he goes back to that day. He repeats over and over how sorry he was for not being there, he promises that he'll be better and he'll finally be there. But then the next day comes and he doesn't remember anything that was said. Those are the days that I truly see how broken my dad really is, and how much my mom not being here truly effects him.
So if I could have any wish, on today of all days... I wish my mom would wake up, and fix this broken mess that we've become.
