Aiden's POV

He kicked me again in the stomach and I could feel my insides bruising. I could feel the metallic taste of blood raising every cough I made. This was almost worse than when Luna left.

Flashback ( A/N: Continued from chapter 3 which leads onto the flashback in Luna's POV in chapter 10. Just letting you know so it makes more sense ^^. )

'' Where did she go!? Where's Tay!? I have to find Tay!'' I grabbed at mummy's arms but she pushed me off and I fell to the ground.

''Mummy where are you going? Mummy we need Tay!'' I reached for her again but she gave me a disgusted look and went off towards the shed in the trees while I ran after her.

'' What're you doing? You know you’re not allowed to go there!'' Daddy came from out of the trees.

''Daddy! Daddy, Tay is missing! We need to find her!'' I grabbed his arm and tugged it towards the forest.

'' She's not missing.''

''What?'' I stared up at him blinking away tears.

''She ran away. She hates you. It's your fault.'' He snarled.

''No....Tay said....Tay said she wouldn't ever leave.'' 

''She told me before she left. She said 'Aiden's disgusting. Who would want him?' and then she laughed and went away.''

''No.'' Tay would never say that. Tay loved me. She wouldn't!

''You’re a liar!'' I screamed and turned to run but daddy grabbed my arm.

''Don't you talk to me like that you disgusting dog.'' He slammed me to the ground and I could hear a crack in arm.

''Daddy. Daddy it hurts.'' I cried reaching for him to help me up.

''Your disgusting! You made your own sister leave! What are we supposed to do now!?'' He kicked me over and over again.

''Daddy I'm sorry! I'm sorry Daddy! Daddy stop! I'll be a good boy I promise! Daddy please stop!''

End of Flashback.

 He didn't stop. No matter how much I cried, bled, screamed and pleaded, he didn't stop. He didn't stop until I couldn't see any more my face was that swollen and bruised. He threw me under a park bench when he thought I was dead. Oh God how I wished I was dead.

''You're killing him!'' Ivana cried again but like usual, it fell on deaf ears.

I coughed again rolling on my side. I could feel more blood seeping from my mouth to join the red puddle next to my head. How long has it been since he started this? Four days? Maybe five? I can’t do this much longer.

BAM!

I groaned again clutching my ribs. I'm sure at least three were broken.

BAM! CRACK!

''Aiden!'' Ivana screamed at the sound of a new rib cracking.

''I-I can't... I can't....' I tried to breathe out through coughs and blood.

I could see specks of black clouding my vision now. How peaceful it would be to just sleep. I smiled softly at the thought before Warren's boot collided with my face knocking it back with a sickening crack from my neck.

Ivana was screaming ''No!'' and ''Let him go!'' trying to break free of her arm and leg restraints. She was put in them three days ago, chained to a wall to watch me get beaten daily. I just want to know why. Why are we here? What do they want? Why were they so cruel?

''Why!?'' she cried voicing my thoughts.

''Shut your filthy mouth.'' he back handed her.

I heard her whimper and turn her face away so I couldn't see. But I could see her cheek. It was already bruising an ugly red and purple.

''Don't touch her.'' I growled.

He smirked and walked back to my quivering body. I pulled myself up to sit against the cold rock wall so I could see him properly and not look so pathetic.

''What did you say?''

''Don't touch her.'' I said lower and more confident than before.

''What are you going to do about it?'' He snickered, walking back closer to her.

Ivana was petrified but was trying to cover it for my sake. She was so strong and caring but she didn't have to hide it from me. I could tell just by looking at her when she was scared, happy, angry or worried and right now, she was all but happy.

SLAP!

 He slapped her face again and again. She had bruises now forming over bruises on both sides of her face but she wouldn't cry. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction. She took in shaky breaths trying to keep her poker face but I could see it cracking.

BAM!

Her body drooped as her head went banging into the wall behind her. She was alive but in and out of consciousness. I could see blood coming from her forehead and I snapped. I let a low throaty growl leave me as I let my wolf take over. I could feel the familiar sting and snap of my bones breaking and re breaking until they healed and I was on all fours covered in a bloodied white fur instead of skin but I didn't have enough energy to endure. The last thing I heard was a scream before I fell into the darkness that called and beckoned me.

Ivana, I'm sorry.

--------


''Mh....Ugh'' I groaned rolling my head to the side.

I could feel a radiatingwarmth on my body. My eyes were closed but I could tell it was bright outside. Wait.....wait... What the? I was in a cave. How the heck? I slowly opened my eyes to see Ivana leaning over me, her hands above my chest and stomach. That was weird but what was even more weird and unusual was the blindingly bright yellow powder she was dropping and rubbing all over my shirtless body.

''What are you doing?'' I tried to sit but whimpered, falling back in pain.

''I'm healing you so shut up and sit still. It's still going to hurt for a while even with your werewolf healing.'' She pushed me on the chest to stay still, making me wince in even more pain.

I laid my head back and closed my eyes enjoying the warm tingly feeling. Ivana is really nice. I wish we could have met on different terms but she's always taking care of me here. She always talks about how her family was, about her tribe and about the mountains. Ivana came from a tribe up north in the snowy mountains. She said there were around one hundred people there but that wasn't enough when Ezra came through the camp. Her tribe was slaughtered while she was told to hide away in a cupboard by her family. Sadly, Ezra found what she was looking for. She was searching for someone with dragon blood. I didn't really know a lot about it but from what she told me it was ancient and unimaginable power. Only problem, she was taken by Ezra before a lot of her training was done and she needs rare salts and stones to conjure the powers.

''I'm almost done'' she whispered, the happiness in her voice making a smile tug on my lips.

She was always so happy when she could do something for me. She says it's to pay back a debt to a wolf that looked like me;a wolf with a blue crested face only he was not white but black. A debt to a wolf that saved her older sister from the slaughter that she was going to receive when her tribe fell. I was happy when she told me. Not only is her sister safe somewhere but I'm not the only one like me in the world. I still don't even know what I am.

''I'm done.'' She clapped her hands and had a satisfied grin on her face.

''Thanks Ivy'' I smiled and hugged her.

The pain was completely gone now. I felt a little numb but it should pass.

''What're we gunna do Aiden?'' Her smile was now fading to a worried frown.

''I don't know...'' I said truthfully.

''I can't keep doing this for much longer. I'm running low on healing salts.''

''You've done this before?'' I looked at my chest, all bruises gone and put a shirt back on

''Yeah. But you're usually out longer so you never knew.''

''Ahh. Well thanks. You shouldn’t waste them on me though.'' I looked at her satchel hidden by a rock.

''Of course I should! It's not wasting. You need it!''

''I'm a werewolf Ivy. I'll heal''

''It's not good enough.'' she hugged me almost half to death before choking out words again.

''You're the closest thing I have to a friend. No. You're family.''

''You're my family too.'' I wrapped my arms around her back and hugged her close.

SCREECH!

The rock door was opening and we broke apart. Ivana made sure her salts were hidden and I faked sore so they wouldn't be suspicious of my overly fast healing from such a serious beating.

''Ready?'' Warren smirked while I creeped against the wall.

I felt so small around him. He was an extremely sadistic wolf. He enjoyed my pain and probably got off to it. Sick bastard. He stalked closer and closer until he was towering over me in his usual way that brought a satisfied smile to his face and a now too familiar frown to mine.

''Ready, pup?''

''Warren please don't do this.'' Ivana stepped closer, laying a hand on his arm.

''Don't touch me.'' he sneered threateningly, making her edge away.

''I'm going to show you a new type of pain today pup.'' he stepped closer while unbuckling his belt and pants.

My eyes widened in horror. No! I can’t....I WONT let him! My mate can only do that. Only Jayce.

He kept getting closer, his belt now removed with Ivana screaming and hitting him. He snapped and turned to her, grabbing her arms painfully as her now red arms we’re already starting to sport that familiar bruised skin.

''You're going to sit and watch.'' He growled, shoving her towards the restraints.

Once he had her chained and her head forced my way, he locked his eyes with mine again. He beckoned me but I backed closer into the corner and hugged myself. With quick determined steps, he reached me and took hold of my arms, pulling me to stand. I kept my face hard and looked away, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of the fear I was feeling inside.

He ripped my shirt off barbarically and threw me to the ground on my stomach. I got up on all fours ready to stand when he wrapped a hand around my waste to keep my lower half in the air as he pushed down between my shoulder blades making my face and chest scrape against the roughness of the rocky ground as it was forced to the floor.

''Stop.'' I growled trying to break free.

He grabbed my arms roughly and tied his belt around them at my elbows now holding them behind my back with the hand pushing me into the ground.

''Mh, pup I like it when you fight me.'' he pushed himself against my backside and I could feel his already hardening member through the thin material of his pants.

My eyes widened in horror again as Ivana screamed, rattling the chains the best she could with her minimal space for movement.

'You can't let him do this' My wolf cried.

'You're Jayce's. He'll mark you! You can't let him!'

''Let me go.'' I threatened but he only laughed and grinded on me.

''Aiden! Let him go Warren!'' Ivana screamed, her voice breaking as Warren started to tug off my pants.

I could feel something slowly start bubbling inside me. Anger? Yes. My wolf itching to rip his throat out and feed him to dingos? Yes. But there was something else. Something I've never felt before.Something that made me scared but brought me calmness too.

''I like your ass.'' Warren purred in my ear as he slipped his hands over my now bare backside.

''I said let go!!'' I screamed as I felt my body change into wolf form.

Warren scrambled away as I felt myself growing stronger than ever, breaking the belt on my arms. The transformation only lasted a couple of seconds before I was turning to face Warren. If looks could kill, he would be six feet under from the force of the glare I was staring him down with.

''You... don't get to touch me. Die.'' I growled creeping closer, getting lower and lower ready to strike.

''Geh...ung'' He fell thunderously on his back as his body started convulsing and gyrating.

I got closer to him until I could see froth coming from his mouth parted lips. The froth was being accompanied by blood falling from his eyes, to his cheek then meeting blood dripping from his ears that started to pool on the ground around his head.

''Ivy?'' I turned to face her but she shook her head staring wide eyed at Warren's body then her gaze fell on me.

''Aid! Your eyes and mark! They're glowing!''

I couldn't see for myself but I could tell my vision was illuminated past normal wolf sight. What's going on? I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts so I could think but all I could hear was Warren gurgling and choking on his fluids.

''Aid! Aiden! Help me out of this.'' Ivana whispered hurriedly.

I looked over at Warren again before racing over to Ivana and ripping the chains off her with my jaws. She pat my head and grabbed my muzzle kissing my forehead softly until she spoke.

''Come on, we need to get out of here.''

I nodded and she ran off to get her satchel while I pushed the boulder out of the way. Thank you wolf strength.

''Thank god they didn't want to make this place look suspicious or else there would be guards everywhere.'' She smiled at me before jumping down rocks and running off into the trees.

From the height of this cliff side I could see we were in the middle of nowhere. All I could see was the tops of endless trees and the drizzle of raindrops in the night sky. I heard movement at the tree line but it was just Ivana coming back out and giving me a 'What the hell are you doing?' look.

''Come one Aiden!'' She whisper-yelled quiet enough for only me to hear with my advanced senses.

I shook my thoughts away and began jumping down the different rock ledges and then disappeared with Ivy into the trees.

I'm coming home Jayce.
