Chapter 186
He put air quotes around the word ‘into’ to emphasize the meaning behind the statement.
“The one night I visited her at her house, met her parents and ate dinner with her, she dragged me up the stairs into her room. She sat in my lap and started making out with me on her bed. She started putting her hands all over my body, underneath my shirt.”
“I was stiff and uncomfortable but I tolerated her advances until she started trying to take my pants off. I’m ashamed that it took her undoing the button and zipper of my pants before I realized what was going on. I stood up quickly, dumping her into the floor causing her to cuss me before whimpering about how she just wanted to have fun. I left and stopped answering her calls and texts. Rebecca came after me next. I didn’t find out until later but she’s Rachel’s best friend.”
He sighs again.
“Things went nearly identical with her as it did with Rachel. The big difference was she wasn’t shy about talking to my dad. He punished me every month I was with her because of her accusations that I was abusing her. At least that’s what he told me while he was belting me.”
He closes his eyes as he lays his head back in the chair. He’s doing surprisingly well. It’s all information that I need but I find myself getting anxious about his exploration of his father’s computer from his own room again.
“It was a month after I left Rebecca when Olivia came back. She knocked on my door and as much as I enjoyed having the littles around, dad had made it clear that my interactions with her would be punished. That no son of his was going to prey upon the youngest, most vulnerable members of his pack.
When she knocked on the door around dinner time, I expected it to be one of the maids bringing me a plate of food and a drink that I would likely just toss in the trash. I was shocked to see Olivia. I had lost track of time and didn’t realize she was due to start her heat cycle.
She was in tears from the pain she was in, begging me to mark her again. As much as I wanted nothing to do with another belting, I couldn’t turn her away. Goddess the pain she was in was insane. I tried everything I could to relieve her of the pain but nothing worked. Liquid Tylenol every six hours, liquid Motrin every eight hours. I spent hours laying with her smoothing out the muscle cramps that caused knots the size of baseballs in her abdomen, the entire time that she cried she was begging me to mark her. I kept arguing that it wasn’t right for a shifter to mark a pre-shift but she countered with how much relief she had after I marked her. That the pain and side effects of being marked weren’t nearly as bad. She was adamant that she wanted it again, just not as rough this time. I finally caved in and ran her a hot bath not knowing what would happen.
Once she was clean and comfortable I made certain it was what she wanted and told her that she was going to mark me too. The side effects for both of us happened within five minutes of the marking and lasted three days. Once the side effects wore off and the only evidence left was my mark, she went home. Within a week I was called to my dad’s office and for the first time he accused me of rape. It was my first belting chained in the back room of the training center.
The next month, Olivia brought me Annabel begging me to do the same to her. I refused, argued with her fervently but in the end I caved. She was in so much pain and the only thing I understood was that marking her gave her relief. It was while Annabel was sleeping in my bed that Olivia started talking to me. Telling me about how she didn’t have a mom and that she gets touched by all the males in her family. She said that during her heat cycle was when they were the worst and what they did to her increased the pain she was already in. When she left with my mark on her, everyone left her alone. The cramps, fatigue, nausea; after the initial side effects left her she had no other ill effects and didn’t need any medication. She assured me that by the end of her cycle no one knew it was even there.
I cared for Annabel with Olivia’s help for three days before she returned to her family. A week later I was in the training room and I heard the first of the pedophile accusations. A month later, Olivia brought me Sallie. The accusation was out there and they are suffering as much as me. I can’t stand to see a little one fearful or in pain so I took care of her and a week later I’m in the training center with my dad taking care of me.
A few weeks later I was told to get out of his house. Every time he belted me he ranted about if I ever run away than I would have hell to pay as he would turn all the evidence he has of me raping the littles over to the council and it would put me away for the rest of my life.”
I’m in complete shock as he pauses, taking a break from detailing his involvement with the littles of his pack.
“Your father is blackmailing you?”
I ask again in a gasp the conclusion I wanted to stay in my head.
“I guess that’s what it is. I thought blackmail only dealt with truths that weren’t known to the public and when someone finds out they manipulate you into doing what they want to keep the person with knowledge quiet.”
I nod my head as I add to his assessment.
“Even if the knowledge is false, using such knowledge to manipulate is still blackmail.”
He nods silently as he starts taking several deep breaths reminding me of my warriors before they head into battle.
“I ran off into the bathroom when I saw the brutality that my brother was using on her. I didn’t recognize the she-wolf he was with but that doesn’t really mean anything as to if she was a pack member or not. When I recovered from getting sick I returned to the computer. The video was gone and the mouse cursor still. It took me an hour to figure out how to get out of his computer.”
He stops for a moment and for the first time since I set it down, he picks up the bottle of water I placed on my desk. He examines the lid carefully before twisting it open and taking a long drink from it.
“Is there any way I can get you to down a protein shake instead? We both know you need the calories.”
“I ate those two burgers before coming back here and they’re not playing nice now that I’m anxious.”
He replies quietly as he shakes his head.
“I didn’t think so.”
We remain quiet for a minute while he finishes the water and formulates his thoughts.
“It took me longer than it should have for me to first, pick up on what he was doing with the video and second, believe that it could actually be true.”
“What is it that you believe is going on?”
“As I said before, when I was sixteen I was told if I got a girl pregnant he would pursue rape charges against me. It’s a little hard to pursue rape when you can’t even get a video of me having sex so what’s the next best way to claim it?”
I shake my head but otherwise remain silent as he’s yet to turn the chair to look at me.
“What better way to frame me than to use footage of my brothers doing the very thing I was expected to do.”
He sighs deeply.
“Two months later I tried again. It took a lot longer to figure out what I did the first time. The difference was I grabbed an unused notebook and wrote down everything I did so I had a record of what I was doing.
It took several attempts to get into my father’s computer and I was up most of the night but I finally got into his again. I had managed to break into several computers on my dad’s network during that time so each time I got into one I explored it before writing down who’s computer it was. I only kept track of Beta Andrew and Delta David’s computers as I had discovered some files that I felt might be of some interest to the council.”
