*Jason POV*
I was dreading this confrontation with Lisa. A lot of my past with Melian is about to be revealed, and I don't know how my two brothers-in-laws were going to handle it. They know that I hold a lot of guilt for what I did to my sister in the past, but that doesn't mean that they will be happy hearing exactly what I did.
I knew it was all going to come out eventually and was surprised that it hadn't already. I guess it didn't really need to until they found out that Mel was their mate. Sitting at the table with Liam, and informing Lisa why she wasn't being released had all three of us pissed. This chick has lost her mind. After hearing me explain to Lisa that she wasn't being let go because of her history with my brother, Thomas, Liam questioned her intentions where he was concerned.
Then she started screaming at us. "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." I couldn't believe what was coming out of her mouth. Loki left his stool and made a bee line for her. If Liam hadn't jumped up and grabbed him, she would probably be dead right now.
I went over to the twins and helped calm them down, and then turned to her and said, "You are either the dumbest bitch to ever walk the earth, or you have a death wish. Maybe both, who knows, but I suggest you keep your hateful mouth shut unless you are being spoken to." She started to laugh hysterically.
"You know, Jason, I always thought you were the more sensible one out of the Carter boys. Always level headed and methodical in your ways of moving and thinking. How did you let that little worm of a sister get into your head? I knew when we were kids that she was nothing. Beating her ass every single day was the highlight of my day. That is until she started to talk back and attempt to fight back. I never took her for a tattle tell though. Not until she got me and my crew expelled, that is. When you told me she was dead, I was giddy. Overjoyed even, but deep down I knew it was too good to be true. So I followed you. Sure enough, there she was, in all her glory.
My wolf, Tammy, wanted to shift immediately and rip her throat out. I should have let her," she spewed. Her tone was that of a lunatic. Loki pushed through Liam and me and grabbed her by the back of the head. His wolf, Zeus, was trying to take over, and honestly, I don't think Loki was fighting him much. He took her head and smacked it on the table in front of her.
She let out a scream and started to spew every cuss word known to man at him. Her nose was pouring blood, and her eyes held nothing but hatred for us all. Liam grabbed Loki one more time before he could inflict any more damage, and she spat at them both. This time Liam lost his cool and smacked her across the face. "Listen you stupid bitch, I am trying to keep our tempers under control here. You are not helping your case any, and if you don't stop taunting us, you won't make it out of her alive. That is a promise. Do we have an understanding here?" Liam questioned her.
She slightly nodded and he handed her a towel for her nose. "Now, here is what is going to happen. Jason is going to explain the history of you and his brothers, as well as the history of what our mate went through. YOU are going to shut the fuck up and let him speak, and you will only speak when spoken to. Understand?" Liam asked again after giving her the instructions on what was about to happen. Again, she nodded. Her expression was blank and she stared straight ahead. I sat back in my chair, and prepared myself for what was coming.
Looking at my sister's mates, I started from the beginning. How my dad despised Melian and never wanted a girl, and when our mom passed away it was the perfect opportunity for him to take his anger and frustrations out on Mel. She was really young and very small for her age when it all started. I told them how our dad would make us boys beat her up in front of our stepmother to show our 'loyalty' to her. I think Constance hated my sister more than my dad, and that was a lot.
I explained to them how I got involved in the abuse, and how I felt sick after doing it. I never truly enjoyed hurting her, but followed suit with my brothers. I told them how Eric and Todd were always the worst at abusing her and I had even stopped Todd from killing her one time. He was extremely close to finishing her off when I had walked into the house from school. Thomas and Michael were the sick ones who liked to not only beat her but torture her as well.
Then I started telling them about Lisa's obsession with my brother Thomas, and how she started in third grade beating up and bullying Melian. About how she recruited her twin brother and their friends to do the same. I finally got to the present and most current events. When I told them that I had taken her to my dad, Eric and Todd that night, and then left her with them, I was certain Loki was going to rip me apart. Liam put his hand up and reminded Loki that I wasn't given a choice, and that I was the one to go back and save her. He sat back down and nodded his head, and I looked over at Lisa.
"You see, I don't know the full details of what happened to her, and I won't ask her to tell me. If these are the kind of people you are defending, and these are the people you want to be with, then you are just as demented as they are." She stared at me briefly, and then started to chuckle. "Then I guess I'm demented."
