*LOKI POV*
"MATE!" Liam and I said at the same time. We both stopped in our tracks and looked at each other dumbfounded. Of course, we would share a mate. Why wouldn't we? Just like everything else in our life. Even if I didn't want to share and if I had to share, I would want it to be with my twin. I placed my hand on his shoulder, and asked if he was OK with us sharing a mate. He just nodded to me and kept his eyes on her. Jason had come up beside us and stared at her with us. He finally spoke to us and all he could muster was, "Do not hurt her, please. She has had enough pain in her life. She is going to need patience and understanding after her most recent ordeal. The four of us can sit and talk later, and I will explain everything she has been through. I will warn you though, it's not pretty and I'm not completely innocent."
I could hear the torment in his voice and knew some of what the history of his family was, so I was trying to have an open mind. My wolf, Zeus, was having a harder time in the understanding department. "Can we approach her?" I heard Liam ask, and Rebecca took his hand and led him to her bedside. I followed behind them, moving slower than the other two. I don't know why I was hesitant, but there was a fear there I couldn't explain. Jason got chairs for us all, and we sat on each side of her hospital bed. Talking silently amongst ourselves, we were startled by the sound of the door opening.
"Alpha's, I'm thankful you are here. I need to speak with you privately about the girl." He said, without even acknowledging our sister or her mate. Jason stood up and asked what it was about, that he was her brother, and demanded answers. Dr. Flores looked at both Liam and I, and asked for us to go outside for privacy. Jason flew off the handle and Liam had to calm him down. He sat back down with his mate and me and Liam followed the doctor outside into the hall.
"Why the privacy doc? He is her brother. You could have spoken to all of us," I said. He hung his head and said that he wanted to speak to us first because he wanted to be positive that it wasn't Jason who did this to her. We reassured him that it wasn't him, but others in his family. Although we weren't entirely sure what exactly happened. Nodding his head, he motioned for us to go back into the room. Upon entering, he apologized to Jason and explained why he had to do what he did, and Jason understood. He pulled up a chair, and proceeded to explain the extent of her injuries.
"Well, I don't know how to explain it all gently, please bare with me, this is going to be hard to hear." he started. He took a sip of his coffee and continued, "Alpha's, Mr. Carter, she has extensive damage to her ribs and sternum. She will need reconstructive surgery on her arm and ankle. Her wolf isn't healing her properly and it makes me wonder if she has received her wolf at all. Mr. Carter, would you know if she has?" Jason explained that she had only been 18 for less than 2 hours, and with her being unconscious he highly doubted she had. "That would explain a lot of why she isn't healing the way she should. Unfortunately, this means she will need to be taken into surgery for repairs to her leg and arm, as well as her sternum. There isn't much we can do for the cracked ribs other than allow them to heal. Here is the hard part. Mr. Carter, do you know if your sister is or was a virgin?" His mouth dropped and he stammered over his words.
"Um...sh..she definitely has never had sex before. She wasn't allowed anywhere alone other than school." he explained. The doctor wiped his face with his hands and looked at Rebecca. "Rebecca, it looks as if your concerns were warranted. She was not only raped vaginally, but also sodomized. That is something that is also going to have to be repaired due to the tearage of her vagina." Rebecca started to sob and grabbed our mate's hand. Jason and Liam flipped their shit, but I don't think the fury I felt could be compared to anything. I wanted to kill someone, the someone who did this to her. I didn't care who it was. Doctor Flores asked us all to calm down, and he didn't want her to feel the stress from everyone's anguish. She may be unconscious but she could still feel everyone's energy. Taking deep breaths, we all composed ourselves. "Doc, is that all?" I asked.
He shook his head and said, "No, there is also the matter of the damage to her face. She has a broken nose, a fractured jaw and a fractured orbital bone. We have a plastic surgeon coming tomorrow to do those repairs. The next several days will be hard ones, but the procedures are necessary. I'm sorry I had to be the bearer of bad news, but I promise you all that we will do our best to help her, however much help she needs. I am also suggesting that she receives psychiatric therapy to deal with the trauma once she is able. Mr. Carter, I think it could also benefit you if you are willing. Sounds like you have both had a questionable upbringing." He finished. Standing up, he shook our hands and left to tend to other patients and organize the procedures for our mate.
We all sat in silence for a really long time. Jason was the one to break it and asked, "Alpha's, I would like to take Dr. Flores up on the therapy. I need to have my mind healthy so that I can be the brother she needs." Liam patted him on the back and told him he would make sure that happened. I lifted my head from my hands and stared at my mate. "What is her name? I heard you say she just turned 18 hours ago, but I didn't hear her name." Rebecca put her hand on my back and said, "Melian, her name is Melian. She likes to be called Mel. She is one of the sweetest souls I have ever met. She can also be very stubborn, but is also very timid. She has been through terrible things, Lok, but she is resilient. Once she trusts you, you will never ask for anyone better." I hugged my sister, thankful she was here with me. I was the one who couldn't handle emotions well, I was 'the grumpy one' according to everyone else. I needed some air, so I pulled from her embrace and walked out without saying a word.
