Chapter Four: "Wash all her Pain Away"

Kalen's Point of View

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It must have been hours as I just looked at my imprint admiring all of her. But something caught my eye as I looked at her. Were those scars on her wrist. I gently picked up her right wrist and saw scars. I began to get angry but I also got sad. Was my imprint harming herself? Was she doing this because of the pack abusing her? The more and more questions I asked myself the more and more my wolf was beginning to get pissed off. I was now starting to shake from rage.

Dash my beta's and best friend Xavier's wolf mind linked to me and said "Kalen calm down, I can feel you getting upset. I will be over and we can talk" Xavier was the only other person besides my imprint that can calm me and Cojo down. The next minute Xavier was standing next to me with his hand on my shoulder. I turned and looked at him with sad eyes. I was trying to keep it together but knowing that Emilia was harming herself made me feeling even worse that I couldn't and didn't project her. Xavier looked at me and said "hey talk to me K what's wrong?"

I looked at him and said as my voice cracked "She harmed herself, I think it was because of the pack abusing her" he looked at me with confused eyes and I gently picked her wrist back up and showed him the scars. "her sides, stomach, thighs and back are covered in scars. X I failed" I looked down at the marble floor hating myself for allowing this to happen. I should have been paying attention.

He looks at me and says "K, we had no idea that's what the pack was doing. We are so busy protecting the pack and making sure all of them are getting food and doing so much other stuff that we can't have eyes everywhere. " I looked down and said "I shouldn't have been off fucking every slut, I should have been protecting my imprint, I heard her crying, I heard her pain but I didn't do anything. I blocked out Ace and didn't listen to him and now Emilia is in here because I didn't do anything!" I ended up punching a hole in the wall and Emilia whimpered at the sound of the impact of my fist meeting the drywall and wood beam.

I walked over to her and gently tried to lay my hand on her shoulder but she flinched at my touch. It pained me and Ace seeing and feeling her flinch at our touch. I pulled my hand back and looked at X sadly. She was truly mistreated and now is terrified of my her imprinters touch. Ace whimpers sadly as he just wanted and I just wanted to hold her and wash all of her pain away. It killed me seeing and feeling her like this. Her pain ran through my body and it was starting to really hurt. I had put her through all of this pain and now I wish I could just wash it all away.
