Chapter 14 - chapter 14

TW:abuse and death.

I sat on the warm grass that the sun beamed onto, the warmth in the are felt nice against my cold skin. The wind blew lightly making my hair away back and forth behind me, from the corner of my eye I could see the guards in the treeline around the house, watching. As much as I hated it, they meant well.

I flip the pages between my finger, the scent of new paper filled my scenes, I almost wanted to bring the book to my face and just smell it.

"Ashlee don't stay out too long!" Quinn called from the porch watching me in the clearing around the house, his glasses sat on the bridge of his nose. "I won't!" I called back turning to my book once again, I was reading Shakespeare, mainly about Romeo and Juliet. If there was one story that was my favorite it would be Romeo and Juliet. I loved how even though they were from rival families, they still wanted to be together but then when they were torn apart they found a way back together; even in death. The sounds of birds chirping filled the air as they all suddenly took flight and left the trees, I look up from my book, it was quiet, a little too quiet. The guards reacted before I could, they shifted and growled at the sudden threat.

I get up from my spot, my book clutched in my hands as I back away from the woods to the house to the safety of my mate. A group of rogue's ran out of the woods into the clearing as a fight to the death broke up between my pack and the rogue's. My wolf growled at the intruders, from the house I could see Quinn running outside in wolf form, he ran to me a pushed me lightly towards the house before joining the fight, I ran to the house and shut the door, locking it, I drop the book on the table hide behind the island, covering my ears as the sound of wolves screaming and snarling.

Flashback:

"Are you stupid?!" The alpha snarled at me, a frown on his face.

My seventeen year old self cried, pushing her body deeper into the corner as she could, hoping for it to welcome her into it's depths.

"This is your fault!" The alpha roared throwing a beer can at me, I tried to block the blow with my arms, as it bouched off my head with force.

A stream of blood rolled down the side of my face, the alpha smirked at the result of my pain. Eren, my childhood friend bursted into the room "alpha please, leave her alone" he begged with fear in his eyes.

"Oh your ordering me now? I will not take orders from a pup. Know. Your. Place. Omega" the alpha growled and grabbed Eren by his throat and threw him across the room, the sound of a wolf like scream emerged from Eren as he made contact with the hard wall, his body fell hard to the floor with a thud, blood slowly forming around his body "such a weak pathetic boy" the alpha spat on erens dead body before delivering a hard kick in his side.

"It's your fault that he's death you know, he just had to be the hero" the alpha smirked turning to me with blood on his pants "oh look, he made a mess, clean it up" the alpha ordered before walking out of the room, leaving me to clean my only friends body off the ground, with tears in my eyes, I stumbled over to him, I felt his heartbeat; there wasn't one. He was dead.

"I'm sorry" I repeated over and over, as I scrubbed the floor with a wet rag, tears rolling down my face as I hyperventilated by his body.

I scrubbed until my hands bled from the force of my movements, dropping the rag I laid down next to him, crying, hoping for death to take me as well.

End of flashback:

Fights always were a trigger for me, I would never be strong enough to fight like the pack would. My body shook as Hanna tries to soothe me while waiting for our mate to come back from the bloody battle that was happening outside the front door.

"I'm not there again, I'm not there again, it isn't real" I tried to resure myself saying those words over and over again, lacing the words with bitter lies.

The door opened and I flinched, through the darkness of the room I could see a figure "Ashlee? Where are you love?" Quinn's voiced called out from the door, I scurried to my feet and ran into his arms, wanting his body contact to calm myself, he was surprised but hugged me back noticing my slight shaking body "are you okay?" He asked looking down at me. I shook my head "I don't like fights" I mumble keeping my face in his chest, not wanting him to see the fear in my eyes. Quinns body softened and he picked me up and walked to our room "I'm sorry love, I'll make sure it won't happen again" Quinn kissed the crown of my head as he tried to set me down on the bed, my grip tightened, I didn't want to let him go. "Love, I got to change" Quinn said noticing my grip tightened on his shirt, I shook my head no.

"Love look at me" Quinn said moving my head up to look at him "I'm not going anywhere, I just need to take a shower okay?" He said resuring me and Hanna, who basically purred at his words. I nod giving in as he smiles and sets me on the bed and grabbed some clothes of of the dresser before heading into the bathroom that was connected to our room. I lay down on the bed, I grab his pillow and stuff my face in it, his scent covered the pillow and the room.

"Damn he smells good" Hanna commented humming.

For once I had to agree with her "he does" I thought, closing my eyes I lay there but not fall asleep as I waited for Quinn to finish his shower, soon he walked out in new clothes with the scent of his body wash that smelt like Pine Wood, his hair was wet and messy.

"I would love to run my fingers through those locks of hair" Hanna hummed as I felt her push forward, my eyes turned dark, she sat up and climbed off the bed before stalking over to Quinn who was drying his hair. She grinned and kissed his shoulder, he turned his head and looked down at us "what are you doing missy" Quinn said seeing that Hanna was in control.

"Just looking at whats mine" she cherped making Quinn's demeanor change, his eyes darked a little as he tried to hold himself back, a growl of approvel emerged from him as a smirk formed on his face, now his whole body turned to us. "Oh really? This belongs to you?" Quinn said motioning to his body with a smirk on his face, his hands already on my hips. "Yes, every single inch" Hanna nearly growled as she whispered in his ear, something in Quinn snapped, he picked me up and threw me on the bed, Hanna squealed in surprise "buttercup your playing with fire" Quinn growled as he lowered his body over mine. Hanna raised her hand to his locks of hair, gently tugging at the roots, Quinn licked his lips.

"But I want to" Hanna purred in satisfaction. Quinn let out one last growl before he kissed us with hunger.
