Chapter 21
“Crystalise, what are they talking about? What is going on here?“Dad says from behind Zander.
“Nothing. Nothing happened!what are you all doing here? I ask looking at everyone.
You are not redirecting the question Crystalise! Not today! You are going to tell us why you left the pack 10 years ago. You are telling us Now!“Zander’s voice booms with his alpha voice.
“Fine! You want to know what happened! Fine I’ll tell youAVAS RAPED!WHILE YOU WERE BUSY LOVING MY SISTER, YOUR BEST FRIEND WAS FORCING HIMSELF ON ME. HE RAPED ME RIGHT HERE ON THE FLOOR OF THE PACK HALL I PLEADED AND BEGGED HIM TO LET ME GO BUT HE PAID NO HEED. I CRIED OUT FOR YOU ZANDER, I CALLED FOR YOU SEVERALLY BUT YOU DIDN’T COME HE BROKE ME THAT DAY, HE TOOK MY INNOCENCE FROM ME, HE TOOK SOMETHING THAT DIDN’T BELONG TO HIM! SO WHILE YOU WERE ALL BUSY CELEBRATING MY SISTER I WAS BEING RAPED!” I yell every word with angry tears flowing down my eyes.
“That is not all. Your freaking best friend got her pregnant! Marcus yells and walks to me pulling me into his
aths.
“What?“Zander whispers in shock.
“I was really young, I didn’t have money to even buy food,my savings wasn’t enough to sustain me even for a month. A week after arriving in York I was thrown out of the motel & was staying. I begun sleeping on the streets and eating leftovers from dumpster of restaurant. During the night,men rape me simply because I was helpless. Then I found a way to make money with my body, it was already a waste anyway. I begun to enter men with body for a days meal. But that wasn’t even enough, it failed me just everyone, once my bump began to show they didn’t want me anymore, who wants a pregnant prostitute anyway I went back to the streets and being raped anyhow. Until I gave birth to my son, he was malnourished and sick so he died in my arms which was good for both of us anyway. I begun to work in a restaurant and saved enough money so I can leave this country for good and that was the best decision of my. So don’t tell me I killed Crystal because I have also been through hell and back because of her“I tell them begin to sob in Marcus’s chest.
I can hear my mom and Tasha sobbing but I am so much pain to look at them.
“I am so sorry. Oh goodness, what have I done! I can’t believe I said all these to you without knowing the actual truth” dad sobs but I am too consumed with emotions to be surprised.
“Everyone leave! I want to be alone with Marcus!“I tell them
“Baby….oh my angel…let me hold you“marha says but I shake my head.
“Leave! Please mama“I cry
“You heard her! Everyone leave“Marcus’s voice booms in the room.
Slowly everyone leaves but I could feel his presence. He stays for a while and then he also leaves.
“You did so well my girl“Marcus says hugs me closer.
God, why couldn’t I love him.
I didn’t leave my room the entire day of yesterday after the revelation with my family.
This morning my along, v
Kenna and Tasha came to my room.
They only asked me to follow them and I did because I was too tired and Marcus wasn’t here when I woke up.

“And this place is better how?” ask
“Why the pack house is where everything happened so in onler not trigger the memory this place is better“Kenna says with a sad smile.
“How is my childhood home a better place, a place I grew up with the person who hurt me the most “I ask with a raise eyebrow.
“Well you can stay are my house. Gem will do happy to have you over. He has been asking of you for a long time”
Kenna says
“No. I don’t wanna to stay at a place I am not welcomed. I am okay at the pack house” I tell her and her face saddens but that is the truth.
Kaden still holds some unknown grudges and I am too tired to face him too.
“Look Crystalise, I have know you for a very time, you are my best friend and we all want to be there for you mentally Tasha says.
“You all want me to feel better, okay. Then let me go back to England, I was fine before, I was happy there, I was thriving. Yeah,so if you can make that happen then I’ll be happy I snap at her even tho I didn’t mean. I know she means well but all I want is to be left alone.
“Look I am sorry for snapping at you but with everything going I am really stressed. I just want everything to be over with “I tell them.
There is a moment of silence before Kenna breaks again.
“Oh I have an idea,since Rya and Gem are with Kaden,I was hoping we could go for your dressing shopping today. You know and have some girl time“she says and I suddenly remember something.
“Did any of you see Marcus this morning?” ask
They look at each with a scared look.
“What is that? Why are you looking at yourselves like that? Did Zander do anything to him?“I grow!
“No,no,no. No need to go all Luna on us. Alpha, Beta Zack and your father along with Marcus left the house this morning. They didn’t say where they were going but Marcus looked okay“Kenna says and I sigh in relief. “Sah
how about the dress shopping?“Tasha asks with a wiggling eyebrow,
“I don’t know guys, I was just going to take a simple white dress from my collection since we don’t have wedding dresses yet “I tell them,
“No,no,no. Not gonna happen. You are going to have the most gorgeous gowns ever. This is a wedding, your special day, you need to look your best “Kenna says and begins to drag me out the door.
