Tara P.O.V.

Over the next week and a half, I attempt to get closer to Ezra whenever I sense him rise to the surface. Simple touches and one long night of nonstop talking with Ezra was amazing. At least I knew now everything about the war Ezra and Shadow were fighting in one body. The connection I feel with Ezra is what I would want in a mate but when I look at him all I can see is the man that causes me so much pain. I can't talk to my sister or anyone for that matter. Vincent tries to help but I just take a beating for it later so I've stopped talking to him completely. I've kissed Ezra once and the soft tender way he held me brought tears to my eyes. I wanted to love him and I tried to connect with him but Shadow was a wall of defiance. I wish Shadow felt the same way about me as Ezra. It seems like the more Ezra tries to get closer to me the worse my next beating is from Shadow. Last night was probably the worst since I've been here. We had a pack dinner something we do once every other week when the subject of pups came up. One of Shadow's elite guards announced he and his mate were expecting. Of course, everyone wanted to know when Shadow and I would be starting a family of our own. Knowing how Shadow feels about me and having a mate in general I didn't expect him to even want children with me not that I would even let him touch me in the way to give him any. When asked we both replied but did not give the same answer."So Alpha when are you and our Luna going to produce some little ones?" Demitri said. "We're waiting for a while," I said, "As soon as she goes into her first heat," Shadow said at the same time. Everyone's faces dropped we both smiled I let out a nervous chuckle as he grabbed for my hand." She's a little nervous considering she new to being a Luna never mind her insecurities." Then looked at me smiling but I could see the rage in his eyes. "You're going to make a great mother very soon." To everyone else, it sounded like a mate reassuring his other half but I knew different. He meant that I was going to have his child one way or another and I had no say in the matter. After dinner, we stood by the doors of the packhouse seeing everyone out. When the doors shut I ran. Despite my better judgment I owning the chase would only make it more fun for him. He was waiting for everyone to be out of earshot before he brutally attacked me. I ran into the game room hiding in the closet behind some plastic storage bins hoping the scent of all the other wolves would mask mine. For a while, I thought it worked when I heard him enter the game room and he didn't find me right away but my racing heartbeat in the silent house I believe gave me away. He was so angry he ripped the door off its hinges and snatched me by my hair. I kicked and screamed for help from anyone who could hear me. I cried for Ezra to take hold of him and stop this before he started. Once inside our room, he threw me hard into the wooden chest at the end of our bed making my forehead by my eyebrow split open. Immediately My vision is blurred from the dizziness and blood in my eye. " Did you really think you could hide from me, Tara?" He laughed. "I swear I think I might need to stop hitting you in the head it's making u a little stupid." I was too disoriented to reply." I really don't feel like dealing with you tonight go clean yourself up and get in bed." He says with a grin on his smug face "Go fuck yourself!" I spit out" What did you just say to me?" He said anger in his voice at my talking back to him. I've stopped doing that over the last few weeks it just makes it worse in the end."I said go fuck-"...POP! He punched me so hard in the eyes I felt the blood vessel pop."You know I let u get away with that shit at dinner but don't u for once second think I would punish you for it now!" "Getaway with what saying I don't want to have kids? I will never have your children. I wouldn't bring a life into this world with you as its father! Your pathetic you have to beat a woman who can't defend herself against you because your insecure because you have little man's syndrome. Don't worry I'll never make fun of what's in your pants because I'll never want it anyway." I said humorously."You will do your duty as Luna and give me a child! Do you understand me?" He said screaming in my face with his hands in my hair pulling." I'd rather die!" I screamed at him. He let go of me and laughed at me as if what I said was funny I expected the beating for a lifetime but what I got was much worse." I was trying to be nice about the Tara but noooo you like to push people. Do you think I don't know about your special moments with Ezra? We share a body but we also share a brain so I know everything." He laughed then the sinister smile dropped from his face. "I also know that I don't have to wait till you go into heat to get you pregnant." I tried to get up and run from him to the bathroom because if I could just get out of the window I'd have a chance. I dodged his grab for me and he fell into the wall taking him down due to my unexpected move into the bathroom. I almost had the door closed when he stopped it with his foot. He looked me square in the eyes and smiled before he overpowered me and pushed the door open I threw everything I could get my hands on at him. If he was going to do this to me I was going to fight him the entire time.He paid no attention to my screaming and throwing of things as he grabbed me by my arms and threw me over his shoulder hard. I swore I felt a rib crack as he threw on his shoulder his body hard like concrete. I kicked and clawed at him but nothing was going to stop what was happening. Shadow stopped in front of the bed and for a moment I thought he wasn't going to do this to me then I heard him take off his belt and his pants dropped. He then threw me on the bed and ripped the dress I wore as I screamed for help but no one came. I started to punch him as hard and my little body could. But he just grabbed both my hands with his left and my throat with his right hand silencing my screams."This Tara is the only thing a mate is good for. You will give me a son and I don't care how many times we have to do this it will happen.  Although I never wanted you boy am I lucky I got a mate with a delectable body it makes this so much easier." He laughed then He removed his hand from my throat and put himself inside me. Most werewolves were very well endowed but with Shadow being an Alpha his attributes were larger than average. I tried to escape into my mind but he wouldn't let me he told me he owned me that this was all I was good for how good I felt around him and how at least I was good for something the entire time he rammed himself into me. It wasn't quick it went on for awhile him saying how much he wanted to enjoy this because it would probably be a while before it would happen again. I screamed a cried and fought but he never stopped until finally he was finished. He slid out of me and told me to go clean up as if I had somehow unconvinced him. I then heard footsteps running and as he opened the door I saw Vincent standing there. He watched shocked as Shadow zipped up his pants and smiled at him as I lay there naked bleeding and bruised. " Take care of that for me would ya? I'm sure she's in no condition to complain I think someone has finally learned her place." Shadow said and he walked away. Vincent took care of me that night he bathed me and changed me I never spoke a word I couldn't he had taken everything from me and I felt a piece of me break. Vincent put me in my own room and stayed by my side never leaving me sweating he would make this right somehow as if he could. I could only think of my sister before I shut my eyes my last thought was of her and how I wanted her to come to take me away from here. "Sid help... I need you"

Xedna's P.O.V. 

Sleeping with Damon most nights helps keep the night terrors away but lately, they have gotten even worse than being with Damon didn't help much now. Damon wakes me up from the night terror I find it hard to open my eye and my body aches all over. I open my eyes and see Damon looking at me. " You have a fever." He says resting his hand on my forehead. I look at him weirdly. I never get sick I only get sick when... My eyes open wider and I sit up jumping out of the bed. Damon looks at me confused. "What are you doing get in bed you have a fever," he says following me out the bedroom door. "Damon, I never get sick," I say. Worry and anger get my adrenaline going and I jump out of bed, walking outside I see the flowers are wilted. "No, no, no. This isn't good." I say touching the flowers. "Babe flowers die they will grow back next spring." He says holding my shoulders and kissing my head. I look up and walk to the forest to the apple tree. "NO! I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG!" I yell touching the tree watching the leaves fall and bark rotting. Vic comes rushing out looking at me freak out over a tree. Shima followers behind him slowly."I don't get it. It's just a tree why are you freaking out over it?" He says watching me pace around it. "NONE OF YOU GET IT! I don't get sick! I have a fever and my body aches!" I yell at him Shima finally joined the other two watching me pace around the tree again. "So you've never been sick big whoop!" Victor says blowing out air. "The flowers are dying and so is the tree! Taras shit doesn't die unless she's going through something she can't control her powers!" I stop pacing and stare at the three of them looking at me in shock. "That's it! I'm tired of waiting I'm going to see my sister with or without you!" I say looking at them. U push past them to the house and in our room when I get dressed and find my keys for my bike. I walk out and see Damon talking to Erik and Victor with Shima when they all turn to see me jumping on my bike and backing it out to leave. " Contact Shadow. We can't have a war over this. Make sure we're still going through the channels as all of this happens!" I hear Damon yell as he runs after me. I close my eyes and focus on trying to find Tara's aura It's faint but I see it still. I pull my helmet on and start the bike Damon tries to stop me but I floor it before he can stop me. I get on the road driving to Shadows pack grounds. When I hear a bike pull up beside me. It's Damon I don't need to look to know it's him. I see the van behind us as we drive after 2 hours of driving I see Taras aura turn and I follow as we make our way to Shadow's territory
