.*Jason POV*
I was finally out of the cell house, and I fell to the ground. I just laid there and let the tears flow as I watched the clouds moving in the sky. I didn't care who saw me, or what they thought, because I had just inflicted the worst imaginable pain on my rapist. My rapist, and my baby sister's tormentor. All I could do was pray that the moon goddess let karma take control and the twins would allow him to bleed to death. I knew they wouldn't allow that until Melian had seen him, but hopefully that would be soon.
"Jason, you OK bro?" I heard Loki ask. I sat up on my elbows and looked up at my brother-in-law, and shook my head. "Not really. I don't have regrets about what I did. I only regret not killing him and dealing with the consequences later," I replied. He sat beside me and we talked for a while before Liam joined us. Apparently, Loki had filled Liam in on what happened, and he wanted to check on me as well. It felt good to have brothers in my life who weren't lunatics and actually cared.
Liam cleared his throat then said, "I don't think Melian should know about how vicious we are during our 'interviewing sessions'. We can tell her what punishment we inflicted, but I don't think she should know about how our demeanor changes. I don't want her afraid of us." Loki agreed and I gave a nervous laugh. They looked at me strangely, and I explained. "She has already seen the 'evil' side of me. I hate that she has, but I can't change that now." They nodded in agreement, and Liam assured me she didn't see me that way anymore.
I agreed and we changed the subject back to our tasks at hand. We were all in agreement that we would wait to see if Melian was released today before we continued with any other sessions. If she had to stay, then we would bring in Thomas and the Alpha. Dad and Eric were saved for last. Eric was almost completely healed from the initial interviews where he was stabbed in the crotch, and we wanted him as fresh as a daisy as he could be. I happened to look over towards the cell house and saw Dr. Flores walked into it.
I motioned over to Liam and he stood up and helped me and Loki up off the ground. The three of us made our way back into the cell house and to the location where Dr. Flores was going. "What's up doc?" Loki asked. The doctor shook his head and laughed at Loki's Bugs Bunny impersonation. "I'm here to take care of some bleeding. I was told he was not to bleed to death, but um, to completely stop that bleeding, it would take surgery I'm afraid. I can pack it to slow the bleeding, but that's about all I can do." Liam told him to do what he could, because he was only being held alive until Melian could confront all of them.
It was what she wanted and he was going to make sure she got it. Dr. Flores informed us that she was getting her exam to check the healing of her vagina and anus, and then more than likely she would be free to go. He also suggested showers before we went into the hospital due to sanitary and fear factors. We left him to do what he needed to do, and went to the barracks to shower. It was closer and easier, and it had clothing there for us to put on. Closer was good because I needed to see my sister and mate as quickly as I could.
*Melian POV*
I woke up to a note from the twins telling me that they had to take care of some business and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what business they had to tend to. I felt sick to my stomach about the situation, but I couldn't have it any other way. I have to remind myself that my family did this to themselves. They weren't the victims here.
Not by a long shot. My nurse came in and helped me to the bathroom. I finished my business and she wheeled me back to the room. I wanted to sit in a chair instead of the bed, because I thought if I had to lay in bed one more second I'd lose my shit. I had Skyler, my nurse, help me order breakfast. This time it was raspberry pancakes with sausage links, a fruit cup and my favorite orange juice. As I was giving her my order, an overwhelming sensation of anger came over me. I couldn't explain it.
I snapped at Skyler and she jumped. I quickly apologized and explained I wasn't sure what had happened. She nervously said it was OK, and left to get my meds. I called Rebecca and told her what happened. She explained that since the twins and I were now marked, I would feel their emotions more strongly. That was because of what they were doing, and why they were doing it. She said I was basically feeling their anger towards my family. There was still so much I needed to learn about the world and this whole mate thing. Being sheltered and hidden from the world and taught nothing about our ways really sucks. I hung up the phone with Rebecca and turned on the TV.
I have had an obsession with the news since I was able to start watching TV. So I turned it to the news channel and pulled out the recliner part of the chair. My breakfast came and I took my time eating it, and just enjoyed my quiet before the chaos later. I had my final exams to determine my eligibility to leave today or not, and If I was able to go home, it was going to be extremely busy.
