#Chapter 9 The Party 

I spent the night awake, watching the dawn rise through the blinds. 

It was the first night in three years I had gone to bed without being touched. The house was quiet all through the night. I kept expecting him to come back, but he didn‘t. 

And that only made me more furious. 

This game he was playing, this act he was putting of kindness was worse than if he just held me down and raped me like everyone else. At least then I wouldn‘t be wondering, 

I’d fall asleep counting just to forget it and I wouldn‘t be so damned confused. 

I pushed that thought away. It was only the first night. The fall of my pack had likely been planned for weeks. Matt was definitely his father’s son, so he was playing a long game to break me.

And wasn‘t I doing the same? 

Sleep pulled at my eyelids and the darkness began to pull me down.

Can you hear me?

I gasped at Alyssa, my wolf’s, voice calling out to me. Alyssa!

She didn’t answer. My heart clenched as I strained to call out to her again and again, but I heard nothing in reply. The same fear and loneliness that had taken over me when she left me before returned.

It had been while I was still recovering from the last john I had there, she told me she couldn’t stay with me.

What do you mean? I asked, terrified. You can’t leave me alone!

If I lost Alyssa, I would have no one.

I can’t stay here, Alyssa said, her voice starting to fade. I can leave some of my strength here so you will heal, but I can’t…

Her voice vanished into a whisper. I screamed for her for hours, but she never responded.

Disappointment filled me, but I took solace in that I heard her voice. That had to mean she was nearby or getting stronger. It had to mean something positive and I was going in the right direction.

I closed my eyes hoping to hear her reply in my dreams.

When I woke up, it was afternoon. My mouth was dry and my eyes were sticky from sleep and tears. I washed my face and stumbled downstairs to try and find something to eat.
