Chapter 26
(Content Warning)
(Lilly’s story, Demetri’s POV)
I shift my weight from one arm to the other trying to determine how painful rolling the two of us to our sides would be for her.
“Lilly, I don’t think the roll is going to feel good to you but I think, considering my tie tends to be on the long side, being on our sides for the long haul would be better.”
She nods her head silently. I know this is taking a bad toll on her when she gets quiet like this.
“Wrap your legs around my waist, your arms around my back under my arms.”
She does as I’ve explained, grabbing my shirt tightly in her hands.
“Okay, baby. This is going to go fast. Do not hold back your pain. Let me know if it hurts.”
She nods as she calms her breathing to better handle the coming move.
“Just hang on tight.”
I feel her grip tighten around me as I start rocking even harder side to side, the further to each side I go the stronger her whimpers get.
“Alright baby, one..., two..., three...”
I wrap one arm around her as I use my free arm and both legs to roll us to our sides. As hard as she tries to stifle her screams they come out anyway. Her pain and anxiety has her completely exhausted and I’m grateful for her lack of fight this time. I wrap her tight in my arms, soothing any desire to fight as I gently shift my hand to her face. I run my hand gingerly along her temple as she sobs against my chest. It’s as her sobs slow enough for her to speak that she starts again.
“I was three and a half when mom and I went to the lake together. Dad was in a real foul mood that day and was taking it out on my brothers. It was one of our favorite places to go to get away from everything and everyone. I remember smelling a real foul smell, like rotting meat. When I asked about it, mom said it was just a rogue and that they were allowed to cross our territory’s boundary to get a drink from the lake and hunt for food as long as they stayed in wolf form.
Since she wasn’t worried, I wasn’t. We sat by the lake for a while when a dirty, shaggy wolf appeared. He smelled awful but mom simply kept an eye on him as I played with the frogs. Next thing I remember is him changing. I had never seen a grown man naked before but I was shocked to see the elephant between his legs. Even though I know now what it is I still can’t describe it as anything else. It was as he started running towards us that mom grabbed me and ran. She fell several times before she shoved me up a tree. She told me to climb down and run home for help once he followed her away from me. But I was too scared to figure out how to do either.
I tried linking with dad but he kept saying he was in a meeting and blocking me out so I got my oldest brother Jacob, he was sixteen at the time. He dropped everything, locked his link and started looking for us. He was several miles away on the training grounds which was too far.
The rogue attacked and raped mom before settling his sites on me. He had seen the tree mom left me in and I guess he knew I was too high because he came looking for me. He climbed the tree enough to shake the branch I was clinging to. I fell to the ground hard but managed to get up and run. I didn’t get far before he grabbed my leg, swung me around and cracked the middle of my back against a tree. I don’t remember much after that.
I remember the pain my back was in and him dragging me through the woods by my foot to where he left my mom. I was wearing a dress that got all torn while he dragged me on the ground so all he really had to do was take my underwear. I was screaming and crying when he spread my legs open and got on top of me but I didn’t understand what he was doing and I didn’t feel anything outside of the pain my back was in. He ended up hitting me several times with a rock to stop my screaming.
I woke up in the hospital a week later in Jacob’s arms. He was sleeping in the hospital bed with me. I remember being in pain but snuggling into his warmth and smell made it easier to handle. When he woke up, he was so gentle and kind. Doing everything he could to comfort me. Just like you, Demetri.”
I look into Lilly’s tear filled eyes as I continue my ginger touches along different parts of her body, keeping it modest so it’s comforting instead of arousing.
“He explained the best he could that mom died before I woke up and that the rogue damaged my back in such a way that I couldn’t walk. He mentioned that the rogue raped both of us but I was too young to understand. He said that the rogue was on top of me when he got there. That he fought with and killed him before dad ever got there.
Dad was pissed at Jacob when he grabbed me up off the ground and ran me to the hospital, leaving him and my brothers to get mom help. Jacob told me that he gave me blood and refused to leave when Dad, David and Donald were concentrating on my mom despite all of them being told she wasn’t going to make it.
Dad even gave him permission to make decisions on my medical care. He agreed to an open checkbook but Jacob made the calls. Jacob moved into the hospital with me. He was the one to hold me during the painful cell regeneration therapy on my back. He was the one to go through the pain of having spinal cells removed from him to be duplicated in the lab for use in that therapy. He bathed me, changed my diaper, and held me during those long nights that I wept for my mother.
He became the father my dad couldn’t bring himself to be. I never saw my father until I left the hospital six months later. I was in a wheelchair because I still couldn’t walk but at least therapy had been a success in mending my broken spine.
Jacob continued to care for me once we got home. He taught me to walk, use the bathroom and how to dress myself again. After nine months of being inseparable my father got angry with the amount of time he was spending with me. They got into a huge fight. I only saw part of it as I ran away after seeing dad slam Jacob’s face into the coffee table. The next night he was gone. I only saw him two more times after that.
It was three months after he left, on the one year anniversary of our attack, that dad came while I was crying after waking from a nightmare. For the first time in a year he tried to soothe my broken soul. He explained that Jacob left because he found his Luna and she had no male siblings to take on the Alpha role so Jacob moved into that pack, fourteen hours away, to be the alpha of the Red Star pack.
He started coming at the same time every night, rubbing my back and talking calmly to me. I was five when he started pushing my nightgown up to my arms and rubbing my chest and belly. It didn’t hurt so I didn’t think anything of it. The first time I thought something was off was when my dad spread my legs open and started rubbing the front of my underwear. I whined when he did it, pulled my gown down and closed my legs. At first he was gentle with his chastising. He tapped my nose to get my attention and told me he was simply continuing the therapy that Jacob started with me. In order to properly use the bathroom he had to make sure I could feel everything properly.
