Unscented Novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Chapter 15

"That’s the story, now you know everything." I spoke, pulling up my knees to my chest.

"That doesn’t explain everything." I looked back to him with furrowed eyebrows, his eyes boring holes into my legs and shoulders.

I glanced down to see my bruises and scars on full display, yellow and green with how advanced the healing was. "Andre-" "Are you being, being-"

I put my hand over his mouth, shutting my eyes as I curled into myself. "Just tell

Emilia, are you being abused?"

I always wished it was a human that would say that too . Soone she couldn’t get even more mad about taking

away from her, soone she couldn’t kill. Soone that would take

away and give

the happy ending I always wanted so desperately.

"Andrew, I’m sorry." I heard him shift next to

and leave the bed, opening my eyes to find him kneeling in front of . He shook his head at , his hand grasping mine.

"We can get you out-"

"No! If I leave, she’ll kill all of you, she’ll kill Wesley." My wolf howled in agony within

at the re thought of her mate being hurt.

"That’s bullshit!"

"Please!" Sothing about the agony in my voice must have made sothing snap within him. He took a breath before slowly nodding, his blue eyes looking back to .

"Leave your mindlink open for . If it ever gets too bad, call . I will always co running, okay?" Sothing about Andrew made him feel like the brother I never had, like he was a missing puzzle piece in my broken and fucked up family.

Andrews eyes darken as he looked at my thighs and my wrists. "These," he ran his thumb down the jagged scars. "These are not abuse scars."

I ripped my wrist away from his touch, sha and guilt filling my body until I was practically drowning in it. "I’m really sorry."

He stood up, walking across the room as he grasped a vase. He flung it and smashed it against the wall next to , my body involuntarily shaking as his rage rolled from him.

I inched farther away from him, the movent catching his wolves eye. He turned and began to walk to , causing

to flinch against the wall.

His eyes softened and turned back to ocean blue, his body sitting back on the bed. He lay back, his legs still over the side as I took deep breaths.

After close to ten minutes I walked back over to him, the bass from the music below shaking the floor under my bare feet. I lay on the opposite side, my head placed next to his.

"Do you know his na?"

I looked to him with scrunched eyebrows, confusion written clear along my face. "Who’s na?"

"Your father."

I nodded slowly, breathing out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding.

"His na is Everette Collins."

Andrew went rigid beside , his muscles completely tense. I sat up, pulling myself to where I was leaning against the headboard behind .

"What is it Andrew?"

He sat up and stood to his feet, pacing around the bed. He shook his head, looking like he was deep in thought. Either that or he was speaking with his wolf.

He stopped suddenly and ca right before , his eyes staring back at my own. That’s when sothing clicked, my eyes widening as I took in the color of his irises.

They were the sa green erald eyes as my own, my wolf shouting inside my head.

’That’s him! He’s our brother! He’s half of us! He is he is!’
