Chapter 18 - Their Bullied and Broken Mate

*Liam POV*

We had safely gotten Melian through her first shift, and her wolf, Ruby, is just as gorgeous as her human. Her fur was beautiful snowy white with ears to match her hair. One was a light lavender and the other a pale pink. I wish we were able to go for a run with her, but her injuries were still an issue, there was no possible way.

Hopefully, now that she has Ruby, she will start to heal better and faster. When she shifted back to her human form, we helped her put on one of our tshirts and started to get her back in the wheelchair. We were all taken by surprise when we heard that annoying bitch, Lisa, scream at us. "I knew it! I knew that stupid bitch wasn't dead!" she sneered.

Mel's face went pale white and she started to tremble. I pulled her closer to me, and Loki told me that he would take care of Lisa. I don't know the history between the two girls, but I was determined to find out. I told Loki to take her to a holding cell, and Jason and I would make sure Mel was back in her room and settled in her room before I met him there. He nodded his head slightly and marched over to Lisa. He grabbed her by the arm and started to drag her towards the cell house.

She was fighting him at first, and he said something to her and she stopped immediately. She kept glaring back at us and Loki jerked her arm, making her look forward. He wasn't the one to play with, and she was finding out the hard way. Once they were out of sight, we started back towards the hospital. Instead of fighting with her wheelchair, I just carried her back. Jason carried the wheelchair and held onto Rebecca. By the time we got her into her room, Melian was sleeping soundly.

Her shift took a lot out of her, and the rest would do her good. Besides, Jason and I were going to go have a talk with Loki before questioning Lisa. Rebecca kissed Jason bye, and she went back to the packhouse to spend time with their daughter. I was wondering when she was going to tell him they were expecting again. She wasn't far along, but I could tell her scent was off. After she left, he turned to me and asked, " Ready? I have a lot to tell about the situation with Lisa." I nodded my head and turned to look back at my mate, she looked so peaceful right now. I just hope she can find that peace while awake.

"Lets go," I told him.

It didn't take us long to get to the cell house, and Jason was quiet the whole walk there. He had the look of guilt and sadness on his face, and I couldn't help but wonder what his role in this was. I know he has changed towards his sister, but his past with her makes my blood boil. I have to let it go though, because my sister loves him and my mate has forgiven him. She also loves her brother, and if she can forgive him, then I have no right to not like him. I may not like what he did, but I do respect the man he has become.

"Jay, it's OK man. no one is upset with you. No need to worry." I told him. He gave a sly smile and kept his eyes lowered still. Going into the cell house, the smell of fresh blood permeated the air. I wrinkled my nose instantly, and yelled out to Loki. "Lok, where you at bro?" The scream I heard after told me exactly where he was.

Jason and I took off down the hallway, and when we got to the holding cells, I came to a dead stop. "Loki what in the actual fuck man?" I yelled. He had Lisa tied to a chair and was taking the back side of a silver knife and rubbing it across her skin. The smile he had on his face was sinister, and if I were to be honest, almost scared me. I walked over to him and took the knife from him. He wasn't very happy about it, but we needed to talk to her first before we could do any kind of damage.

With just a look, he understood. Loki sat on one of the stools in the room, and Jason and I sat on the chairs at the table where Lisa was sitting already. She was sobbing, begging us to just let her go and she wouldn't tell anyone that she had seen Mel.

Jason just started to laugh and shook his head. "You seriously think that we could trust that, Lisa? You forget, I know you. I know you better than anyone here, including Mel. The first thing you would do when you left here, would be run straight to Thomas. You would do anything to get him to take you as his mate. So, you can fuck off with that." he sneered.

His anger was building the longer he sat there with her. I had my hands full with him and Loki right now being hot heads, and they both needed to calm the fuck down. On the other hand, Lisa didn't deny what he said. "Is this true, Lisa? Do you have a 'thing' for one of my mate's tormentors? Do you know the horrendous things he has done to her? Or do you even fucking care?" I asked her.

She remained silent and I released my alpha aura and demanded her to answer me. She started to tremble even harder and glared at me. "She is a liar! She has obviously manipulated your family and Jason! So what, they would smack her around a little. She deserved it with that smart mouth she has. She likes to try peoples' patience, and then cries when they react. I can't believe you are all defending her worthless ass." she retorted. I could feel my own anger rising, and needed to step away before I finished what Loki started.
