CHAPTER 78
-Gabby’s POV-
I hated the tears that fell but they were valid. The men stepped away breathing harshly and seeming content with the pleasure they had forced from her. Erin hung in the swing, her head had fallen back and it was too heavy to hold up after two hours.
Her arms and legs were slumped and she was just left there when they all got dressed and walked away, slapping each other’s shoulders as to say Job well done. They all deserved the worst imaginable punishment and I had a lot of ideas but they would just go on doing whatever they wanted. Forcing these girls to be their s*x toys and enjoying their pain and suffering. Their screams egged them on I saw the joy in their eyes when a girl tried to fight them.
Asher nuzzled his face into my neck and sniffed in my scent.
“Good girl,” he whispered as he tugged at my nipple. He tossed measide on the couch and stood up. The others had gotten dressed and they pulled the girls out of the room one by one.
“You can’t just leave her,” I said and grabbed Asher’s arm. He scoffed and looked at Erin’s fragile body slumped in her restraints but he just saw a source of pleasure. An object they owned where they could do whatever they pleased.
“Help her then,” he laughed and walked out of the office. The door closed and at first, I stood still and just breathed. Happy that they were all gone. My tears fell as I ran over to the swing and untied her arms and her legs. I carried Erin down and helped her over to the couch where I put on the men’s shirt that someone had left behind.
She slowly came too, her eyes fluttered and she licked her dry lips. walked over and opened the cabinet but all I saw was booze.
I searched around for water but couldn’t find it and whenever I opened a drawer I was just met with more sexual tools and most of them meant to cause more pain than pleasure to the personinflicted.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and another reached over and grabbed a bottle of whiskey. Erin sat down on the edge of the sofa with her eyes closed and chugged the liquid straight from the bottle. After gulping down half of it she wiped her mouth and held the bottle down.
“You don’t survive here by drinking things that are good for your body,” she said and smirked tiredly.
“I’m so sorry,” I whispered and wiped my tears. I closed the doors and the drawers. Erin reached out her hand and tugged my shirt.
“Stop that, it’s not your fault,” I scoffed and shook my head.
“I should’ve taken it, I should’ve said
aid that I would do it and not let someone else be forced through it,”
“You would’ve, I honestly believe that if
if I hadn’t stepped up then you would’ve taken it for Jessica,” her name was Jessica.
“Why
hy did you step up?” 5
She narrowed her eyes and pulled me closer.
Because why break something that’s been healed?”
“Huh?”
“I know what Asher and the others did to you. They gloated about it when they came back while fuming over the fact that his brother and yours had taken you away.”
“Oh,” I said.
“I’m broken, Gabby, better to ruin something that’s already broken.

“I need

et that out of your head. You can’t save
me, or the others, and if you keep thinking you will; once the day comes that you realize you can’t it will destroy you. If ever there’s an opportunity for you to leave, you have to take it and not look back. Promise me that,” I smiled and grabbed her hand. I stared deeply into her eyes making sure she knew I was telling the truth.
“No.” I said and her smile faltered.
“What do I have out there waiting for me? My whole family was slaughtered, and my pack is gone. I have nothing left on the
outside.”
“I’ll bring you to my pack, all of you. You will live there and create new life,” she smiled and ¶uffed.
“If you could have one thing, one thing in this whole world, what would it be?” I asked her.
To know where I came from.”
“What do you mean?”
“I was adopted, brought in because I didn’t have anybody else. I have these fragments of my life from before but honestly can’t remember much. The people who raised me were loving and beautiful in every single way and I love them with all my heart but I would like to know my biological parents. Who they were and why they gave me up,” she said and smiled sadly.
“So that is what you will do,” I said and lifted my head.
Because I am getting you the f*ck out of this place.”
I was back in the room and Erin had gone off back to hers. my heart broke for her but mostly because it didn’t look like hers broke for herself. She had lost everything and was continuously treated like an object. As though she didn’t have feelings or was an actual person.
She was getting out, I was going to make sure of that.
‘Hey’
You’re back
‘I am’
Where the hell were you?
“I was mad. You left our mate’
So you leave me?
“I’m sorry but Gabby there is something you need to know. I’m getting weaker, for every passing moment that we are away from our mate, we will grow weaker”
Does that mean that Aiden grows weaker as well?
Yes!
Oh no, he was attacking tomorrow. How would he do that if he were weakened?
I was suddenly regretting my decisions but the feeling that I was in the right place was still there. I couldn’t shake it. There was something here that I needed to do and I think it was to save these girls.

time. I lay for hours turning in the bed and eventually I gave up.
I realized it wouldn’t happen so I got up and opened the door. That’s when I heard a debacle going on and stepped outside. I walked down the stairs and into the foyer. Everyone was awake and they were gathering, but for what? I walked over to the window in the corner and looked out.
“Is it snowing?” I said as I saw the flakes falling down and softly landing on the ground. I felt someone’s body press up against mine. My head turned and there I saw Asher, looking out with a strained gaze The clock that hung on the wall behind him showed that it was four in the morning.
“That’s not snow.” He seethed. His frown turned to a grin and he cracked his neck.
“Looks like we’re about to have a family reunion,” he said and looked down at me. I widened my eyes in horror and my jaw dropped.
“No,” 1 breathed and looked out the window. Asher turned me around, his jaw clenched and his eyes bored into mine. He raised fist and I blacked out..

It was three at night and we were about to leave when the door to Edmund’s room opened up and he sneaked out.
He met my gaze and bowed his head. Sam was out for a few hours and she had no way to contact Asher once she woke up.
“Is everyone ready?”
“Yes, Alph
Alpha.” They began
an to walk out of the house and I was just waiting for Noah to show up. Nick stood on the stairs outside and
looked over everybody.
“Where is Noah?” I asked Edmund when he walked down. He shrugged a shoulder and looked confusedly around.
“No idea, I haven’t seen him in hours. I’ve been with Sam.” I walked up and banged on his door but nobody answered.
Where the f*ck was he?
I walked into the gaming room and he wasn’t there. He wasn’t in the communal area either and only when I went into the dining room did I see him sitting by the table in the darkness with a plate of food in front of him and his hands cupped.
Noah’s h
head was down and he wasn’t moving.
“Noah,” there was no reaction, not a wince or an acknowledgment of my presence.
I placed my hand on his shoulder and looked at him with furrowed brows.
“Is everything alright with you? You’ve been of for a while,” I said and sat down on the chair next to him.
Noah shook his head and slid his plate away. The food hadn’t been touched.
“Yeah…it’s… it’s all good,”
“Are you ready to go?” He and I had gone off earlier during the day and scouted out the pack. We hadn’t seen much but we could see where the warriors stood guard and that was all we needed for tonight.

“Go where?” [ furrowed my brows and couldn’t comprehend what was happening.
Nowhere, maybe it’s better if you get some rest. It’s late,” he nodded his head and got up. When he walked into the hallway and saw everyone it was like something clicked in his head. He looked at the warriors gathering outside and turned to me.
“Asher, we’re going after Asher,” he said like he had an epiphany.
Nick and Edmund stepped closer. Each with a confused look.
“No, we’re going after Asher, you’re going to bed.” I said and clapped his shoulder.
He slapped my hand away and shook his head.
“No, I’m going with you to kill that bastard and get my sister back. He stormed out of the house and joined the warriors.
“This could either go really good…or really f*cking bad.” Edmund grunted.
“I’m hoping for the first I said and looked at Noah. But I’m guessing at the latter.”
