The White Lycan

Chapter Five

I've been sitting here in Alpha Reynolds office for over four hours now trying, unsuccessfully I might add, to explain to him everything that Alpha Dane did, what he allowed others to do, and what I couldn't do. We've had to take several breaks because he gets so angry he starts breaking things and it scares me to death. After I had a panic attack the first time and he had to call for Olivia, he decided that whenever he needs to express his anger he would just leave the room. Kelly, Olivia and I have been waiting on him to get back from said break for over twenty minutes. We were seated on the sofa in his office, Olivia on my left and Kelly on my right. They had each learned more about me than they wanted to, I'm sure. Their glances and stares before had been curiosity and now it was straight pity. I hated it so much. The sound of a door shutting and heavy footsteps broke me from my inner thoughts. I turned to see Alpha Reynolds walking back to his desk. His breathing was still a little heavy, so I knew he was still angry. He resumed his place where he had been leaning against the desk, and looked at us, mainly me.

"Continue." He gestured with his hands. I nodded at him and continued from when I was 11 and Alpha Dane had raped me for the first time. I left several details out, from the beatings to the rapes, from the tortures to my tiny room in the attic. He didn't need to know absolutely everything that happened, just the gist. Surprisingly, he remained seated until I got to the part about being 13 and him marking me every month until I was saved. He suddenly shot across the room which startled me but stopped and paced for a few minutes. While he paced, I stayed quiet. I didn't want to upset him further. He finally calmed down and went back to his place on his desk. He sighed, "And after that?" I continued on. Other than the marking, he remained pretty much the same. I got to the beating where Fiona had taken care of me and I had told her my name. "Why did he beat you?"

"Because the marking didn't work." I replied. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"How was that your fault?" He growled.

I shrugged, "it wasn't, But he needed someone to blame and I guess that someone was me."

He growled again and motioned for me to continue. I lead up from there until Alpha Burns took me and shoved me in a box. "Now, I'm here." I finished. He stared me down for a few minutes before he finally stood up and paced the room again.

"Gabe." Olivia said softly, after a few minutes. He stopped and turned to her. "You have to do something." She glanced from me to him. Kelly nodded in agreement with her.

"Jacob can't remove the scars until she's gained some strength and is healthier. Even then, he may not be able to remove them completely. They may heal and go away once she's gotten her wolf. Aside from that, I am going to the Werewolf Council over Dane."

"Gabe what if they refuse to punish him?" Kelly whispered.

"Then I will kill him myself."

Later on, Kelly, Olivia and I sat in the kitchen drinking cocoa and talking. They hadn't left me alone for a minute and I felt strange. It was very strange to me having so many people be so nice to me. Currently, we were all laughing because Kelly had made a joke about how uptight Alpha Reynolds was.

"Kelly," Olivia scolded, "you shouldn't make such shrewd remarks about your brother. He's got a very serious job, so he's a very serious man." Kelly narrowed her eyes at her mother.

"Mom, just because he's got a serious job is no need to be such a dick all the time."Kelly sounded angry.

"Kelly," Olivia sighed. She opened her mouth to say something else but a loud bang made us all jump. The bang was followed by a door slamming so hard the house shook and quick, heavy footsteps heading from upstairs. Olivia looked in the direction they were coming from and frowned. "He's awful mad about something." Alpha Reynolds rounded the corner and skidded to a stop in front of us.
