"You're what!?"

I flinched and immediately backed away from my brother. My hands instinctively wrapped themselves around my stomach as if protecting the child.

My human part may trust Tyler but my wolf counterpart saw him, as of now, as a threat to our pup. Tyler, noticing my actions and my fight for control with my wolf, kept on apologizing.

Once my wolf had calmed down, I started thinking. Judging from Tyler's reaction, does he hate my baby?

Tears immediately pooled in my eyes and I choked out "Do you hate her or me?" Tyler seemed taken aback by my question.

Then slowly, realization lit up his eyes. "Tori- I do not hate you or your pup. I'm sorry if my reaction made you misunderstand but I guess I kind of got angry. Not at you but at Daniel."

"But w-why?"

"Because, it seems as if he could give a shit less about you, he is down there, acting like he didn't reject you and doesn't care what happens to you..." Tyler trailed off, leaving me confused.

"H-he d-doesn't c-care?" I asked in a small voice. I stopped caring about the tears a long time ago. Today was no exception. Tyler looked at me pained.

"He was making out with Zoey and he keeps telling the pack members that she is his mate." All the blood drained from my face and I gasped at Tyler.

The tears stopped eventually but I became numb. Anger took over every part of my being. "Tyler when do we leave?"

"At 12 midnight. It's 6 right now, Daniel wants you down there, I am sorry but I can't stop him. Take care of my niece or nephew. I will be there with you."

I nodded once and smiled gratefully at Tyler. I slowly got up and fixed myself and wiped my face of all emotions. When I was convinced that I looked emotionless, I made my way downstairs, slowly.

The nerves getting the best of me.

"Oh look! The bitch finally decided to show herself!" Zoey sneered. She had successfully caught the attention of every wolf in the room.

I glanced up to see her straddling Daniel who looked pretty smug. I looked down at my stomach and mentally talked to my unborn child.

'You see baby, here is your daddy. He really hates your mommy and mommy is scared to tell him about you.I won't be able to stand it if he rejects you. You will be amazing and smart and kind and caring. You will be the complete opposite of your sperm donor. He isn't your father and he never will be. I lo-' I was cut off from my mental conversation by a slap to my face.

My cheek singed and I am pretty sure there will be a bruise there. I looked up at Zoey. "Answer me when I talk to you bitch!" She screamed and kicked me in the shin, making my knees buckle beneath me.

All the pack members, excluding Tyler, were laughing at my sprawled out form. I slowly got off the floor and looked at Tyler whose eyes were red.

"Stay away from her bitch! You are a pathetic excuse for a sister. Mum and dad would never forgive you. You, Zoey Phase are no sister of mine. I am sick of watching you all torment my sister for years! She has done nothing wrong! I've only held back this long enough because she told me not to interfere. You guys are all sick. Just because Zoey here is jealous of Tori and started this all, doesn't mean that you can just follow her actions like lost puppies. Tori never did or said anything to any of you. You are all pathetic, Tori is much stronger than you will ever be! She survived all of this and yet she never told on any of you! You would do best to stay away from her!"

I was shocked but mostly glad. I knew the consequences but it felt good to have someone stand up for you. But the consequences wouldn't matter; Tyler and I are leaving in a couple of hours anyway.

(A/N things get a little ugly. I will write another note at the end of the little bit of gruesome part. If you can't stand violence and all. Don't worry, you won't miss anything.)

Then it happened.

The lead pack warrior and Daniel's third held Tyler back as two other pack warriors held my arms and Zoey came up to me.

"Well well, bitch. Look you got a savior!" She sneered in a high pitch voice.

Then she went up to Tyler and slapped him. "Don't you dare talk to me like that! By the way, I would rather die than be known as your sister!"

Then she came back to me and started punching me everywhere. I bit my lip so hard that I drew blood but I was too adamant to let out a scream and add to Zoey's ego.

Her expression faltered for a bit and she looked flustered before she masked it off. Then she smirked and disappeared from the room.

A few seconds later she came back with something behind her back. I turned pale once I saw what it was- a silver knife. She smirked and started cutting every inch of my exposed skin. I screamed and screamed at the top of my lungs and cried and begged for her to stop.

Tyler had tears streaming down his face as did the majority of the room. The Warriors holding me back let their grips go and I fell to the ground and spat out some more blood.

I curled up in fetus position and Zoey kept on kicking me. She kicked everywhere she could. I am sure I looked like a bloody mess but it didn't matter, not over the pain. And you know the worst part?

I can't feel my baby.

Zoey then picked me off the floor and her hands were around my neck, choking me. I wheezed and gasped for air. I struggled but stopped when it was taking too much energy and I need oxygen for energy.

Oxygen which I don't have. Black spots were dotting my vision. I vaguely heard some pack members screaming at her to stop.

Then the miracle happened. The former Alpha and Luna, Daniel's parents showed up.

I watch, breathing heavily, as the former Alpha corners Zoey and starts screaming at her.

The former Luna makes her way toward me and tells me to hold on until the pack doctor arrives. "I-I can't f-feel i-it" I gasp out.

The Luna looks confused but Tyler's head shoots up. He grabs me and hugs me tightly and murmurs comforting words into my ears.

My wolf whimpers loudly in the back of my mind and it was determined.

I get up slowly, ignoring my body's protests and back away. Everyone's heads snap towards me but still, I keep backing.

A few approach me but I whimper and they stop. The moment I reached the back door, I ran out and shifted mid-jump and ran into the forest.

I was still within hearing range but I let out a tormenting, heartbreaking howl.

And then I ran.
