Chapter 59: Harsh words
Maddie
"Mark!"
I finally saw my brother. He had avoided me so many times, though I knew he was working hard. There was a lot of work to be done on one of the more distant farms; I knew it was getting harder for him to raise the money necessary to support the family.
My mother's business wasn't doing very well, although Kurt had already talked about helping her. It wasn't the idea I liked best, but it was either that or see my family suffer.
But now that I had my brother in front of me, his expression told me that he wasn't happy to see me.
"Maddie, what is that wolf doing here?" he asked angrily, and I could see he was holding back.
"Son, he was helping us, they are helping the whole town," my mother mentioned, but he gestured for her to shut up. What the hell was wrong with him? He had never been so rude.
"Don't talk to our mother like that," I said firmly.
"You have no right to speak in this house! First, you were kidnapped by wolves! We feared for your life and searched for you for days! For days, Maddie! Then you came back and asked for my help, and I did everything I could. I waited for you at the factory night after night, and you never came back," he said, and I felt a lump in my throat.
"Let me explain, brother…" I started to say, and suddenly he pulled out a piece of paper. I could clearly see that it was in Robin's handwriting.
"And one day I find this message in our mailbox and I panic. My sister is in the hands of wolves after and needed our help. We got as close to the pack as we could and got no information. And what do I find? That you came back to the town very happy, as nothing happened, and rented the most expensive and extraordinary house in town to stay with the wolves... to stay with the Three Dragons!" he shouted frantically.
"Mark, calm down!" my mother intervened, while I didn't know what to say because everything he said was true. I hadn't thought about the distress and anguish I had caused. Because, to be honest, I was too busy with my own problems and thinking about the triplets... why deny it?
"No, Mom. My sister seems to have forgotten all the harm the wolves did to us. Our father disappeared, they took our homes and farms, our land and possessions. They hurt and killed us, ruined our future... and then she is the talk of the town, saying that she has returned with wolves, that she lives with them, that she sleeps with them... and that she shows obvious signs of abuse. And are you going to tell me that everything is okay?"
"Mark, please listen to me. If only..." I said, and he grabbed my arm and lifted my sleeve to show some bruises.
Then he moved the collar of my sweater and there were also bite marks and love bites. Some were lingering wounds from the Night Wolves' attack, and others... were from too intense sessions with the triplets.
Kurt used to touch me while he helped me to bathe and liked to bite me. Dominic sometimes held me too tightly when he kissed and touched me, but I couldn't say I hated it or that it hurt... it turned me on wildly.
"They don't just abuse you, do they? I bet they'll say it's the other wolves' fault, as usual. But some of them are from them, right? Or will you deny it?" he asked, and my lips trembled.
He was no longer my protective brother who taught me how to ride a bike, who explained math to me, and who spoiled me by giving me his share of sweets. He was a man who hated too much and was now very ready to judge me.
How could I explain to him what it was like to have mates? How could I explain how I felt about them? They were my bullies, our enemies... and now I couldn't imagine my life without them. I had tried to leave them, to stay away from them, but it was impossible.
"Son, how can you say such a thing?" my mother shouted in horror.
"Do you sleep with all three of them? Like a whore? Worse than that, you give yourself to them freely, for nothing... so that three huge alphas can fuck you one after the other? Or do they fuck you all at once? A slut... you are their fucking human pet!" he yells, and I'm shocked.
"Mark! Enough already! Don't talk about your sister like that!" my mother shouted, and I was afraid the neighbors would hear us.
Why did I care what people thought of me? How could I explain to them that they were mine, and I was theirs?
"You don't know anything about them! You don't know how they helped me and what they did for me! I trust them!" I told him, and he snapped.
"You are a real disgrace. Our father must be turning in his grave to think he has a daughter who fuck with wolves," he said through gritted teeth, and tears streamed down my face. This was not the reunion I had expected.
"Enough! We are a small family to fight like this! Your sister is in a difficult situation, and yet she is trying to help us!" my mother said. I didn't know if she knew exactly what was going on or if she's just ignoring the fact that I came with three alphas.
"I don't want their help! Do you know what people will think of us? Have you thought about Kevin? He loves you, he has always loved you, and you are giving yourself to the wolves," my brother shouted furiously. Suddenly, the door burst open, and an angry Kurt came in and stood between me and Mark.
"Take back everything you said about her!" he threatened, shouting and shaking.
"Get out of here, dog! I told you not to interfere in family matters!" my mate growls.
"Maddie is my family. She is the most important person in the world to me," Kurt confessed, and my heart skipped a beat.
"Get out of here, you beast, or I swear I'll kill you like the animal you are," my brother snapped, and I continued to cry. My mother hugged me.
"I won't let you say another word against her, or you'll..."
"Or what, animal? You've done too much damage already."
"Please, stop this!" I cried.
"Please enough, Mark!" my mother intervened, and finally Kurt took me in his arms.
"Don't worry, mate. I'm sure he'll regret his words. We should go home, okay? Something's happened, but I promise you'll never be alone," Kurt whispered to me, and I left crying, thinking that my little place, my family… had been destroyed and that Moonvalley and this pair of arms, the arms of these brothers... was starting to feel like home, my only home.
