Beautiful as You Are

Chapter 7 · New Beginning

Willow's pov

I smile lightly seeing Thaddius find his mate in my brother. Turning around back to my work, I begin drying.

"Mate I have to help Willow, so I will see you later." I hear Thaddius ask. "I'll just stay and help. So Willow how can I help?" Micah asked me a nervous hint to his voice. "Put away the dishes." I say quickly not bothering to look at him.

"How do you know my mate Willow?" Thaddius asked oblivious to the tension.

Sighing I continue cleaning before saying "He's the younger brother that doesn't want me around." Leaving the kitchen, I go to start cleaning the bedrooms.

"Our brother. Ha! Don't make me laugh. He left us to be emotionally and verbally mauled by monsters and watched. He is no brother of mine." Reign growls lowly. Not saying a thing, I continue to work as efficiently as I can before I smell Micah.

"Willow, can you just talk to me? Please. I'm your brother."  Micah's voice said as it was covered in agony. Swiveling around, I face him letting him see the everlasting pain in my eyes.

"Your not my brother. When I was fourteen, I went into my first heat. Alpha raped me! I was screaming and no one helped me. That monster took what I hold dearest and destroyed it.  When I was sixteen I tried to kill myself and I was pleading for someone to help me but no one did. I was seventeen and I accepted that no one wanted me or would care about me. So your not my brother as I am not your sister." I growl at him tears streaming down my face not caring about my work I walk past him going back to Akilles' room. But I barely make it their as Akilles' was running towards me.

"What's wrong baby? Why are you crying and so angry?" Akilles' said. "Get me out of here. Now. Get me out!" I scream as I fall into his arms.

Feeling a painful sensation coursing through me, I look around a leather interior of a car. I was about to scream but the sensation left me. Looking up, I see Akilles' gazing out the window as his hand caressed my stomach. Sitting up, I grab Akilles' attention as he moves me to sit acroos his lap. "What was that?" I ask frightful.

"That was your connection with the Golden Dawn being severed. But how are you feeling lilly?" Akilles' asked softly he hand rubbing the small of my back and the other my thigh. "I don't know. I feel calmer now than I was before." I sigh leaning my forehead to his closing mt eyes.

"Willow, tell me what happened. Just a run down of it." Akilles' said holding my cheeks in his hand.

Beginning to tell him what happened. I leave out the parts of my traumatic past. I don't want him to know how used I really am. I don't want him to know how that pack broke me down and never let me build myself back up again.

Done with my explanation, I sigh in stress and feeling overwhelmed. Well, seeing as Micah is Thaddius's mate. I have instructed him to not talk to you until you have approached him." Nodding in respone "It's okay Lilly, but know that when only your ready to talk about your past I'm here to listen." Akilles' whispered. Nodding I place a light kiss to his lips making him chuckle.

"One more for me." Akilles' smiled thst smile that always lightened my mood. Tentatively I press my lips to his deeper than before as my hands find his sleek hair on instinct. As his find my ass, making me gasp slightly.

Pulling away slightly I can't help but giggle a little startling him. "One more." Akilles' growls out happily. Not being able to resist my urges, I press my mouth to his once more in a passionate kiss. Our tongue seemed to meet in the mist of our mouths and the heat of insane passion.
