*Michael's POV*
After rescuing Taylor and bringing her back here we took our time heading to the room they placed her in, we just looked at each other both Lily & I were really worried for this young girl. As we were walking she asked me what the plan was, I refused to send her back there because what if it happened again, we can't take that risk so it was decided that she would live with us so we'll send Xavier with a warrior to pack her things from her room but we did have to call to inform her father of the situation.
When we got upstairs Xavier was pacing back and forth understandably worried for his mate, we were all worried as we waited for the doctor to come out Xavier told us how he found her. As soon as I saw Haven exit the room we rushed over where Xavier asked "How bad are her injuries?
Will she be ok, what do I have to do?", she just told him one at a time but then said "she has several older injuries such as; a couple broken ribs, a broken wrist that wasn't set correctly that I reset, she has several cuts that have started to scar on her arms legs & back from what it looks like possibly caused by silver, whereas the new ones consist of a large bruise on her torso, a raw line on her face as well as some tearing".
Lily & I gasped at that while Xavier seemed a little confused, as I was wondering who would do that to this young girl I'm sure my eyes were black where my wolf Dom was pissed and wanted to take control to tear whoever did this to shreds which I completely agree although I had to remind him that we don't know who did it so that calmed him down a little.
I looked over at Lily noticing her eyes were black meaning Gemma wanted to come out too as she was crying for Taylor so I just hugged her close after the doctor left we just stood there shocked when Xavier turned toward us to ask what Haven meant by tearing, was she...?" At this point it was Lily who answered him telling him "unfortunately yes...she was r r raped" before her eyes changing again, I looked over at Xavier his eyes wide while also turning black realizing Lily was livid, I don't think he's ever seen her this pissed before and I think it scared him at first.
I walked Lily to our room hoping she could get some rest as I went to my office and thought I really don't think any of us are going to get any sleep tonight so I just sat at my desk, I just can't believe someone would do something so vile to Taylor. She sounds like a sweet girl from the way Xavier talked about her but no matter what we'll be here to help her through this.
All of a sudden the phone started ringing I looked at the clock & it was midnight, who would be calling this late so I answered it which I was glad as the man introduced myself as Taylor's father although I had the unfortunate task of informing him that Xavier was her mate along with what had transpired tonight of how we found her, bringing her here and what the doctor said of her injuries, at first I thought he hung up but realized he was silently crying.
I was very surprised & pissed at what he said next about him physically abusing her, I sat there wondering how the f**k could you hurt your only child that way but soon realized why he told me as he wanted to make amends so he will be talking to his alpha let him know what he did then after they get justice for this latest crime he'll gladly accept any punishment without complaint as he deems appropriate which I commended him for taking responsibility for his actions, I could tell in his voice that he deeply regrets his treatment of her while promising that he'll do whatever he can to find out who did this.
He also told me about the evidence he found and his suspicions on who the suspect is, he asked me not to say anything to anyone yet waiting for to gather proof of this person but he wants to wait until after the contents of what was left in the syringe along with prints were analyzed by an outside source, saying he's trying to be smart about it so the person doesn't think he's onto him otherwise he could run & she would still be in danger from him, he's determined to make sure that she have the peace of mind knowing that she got justice for what was done to her.
We talked a little longer where I agreed I wouldn't say anything since it did make sense and we'd be better off playing it safe for now, I told him that I'll do whatever I can to help & that he can call anytime to either give me updates if he wants or to check up on Taylor then thanked him before hanging up. As I sat there thinking of everything he said I decided that when she woke up and was ready I would tell Taylor about her father's confession along with suggesting the possibility of perhaps forgiving him & give him another chance although I can't force or tell her what to do just give her advice that's completely up to her.
