Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Andrews chest rumbled just as another pound of thunder attacked, covering up his slip up. My heart clenched deep within , as power surged through the room. My back stiffened, I knew what this was. My mother was looking through her seer pools, oh god, I was dead. "I really must go, I’m sorry for only eting you all for such a short ti." I smiled as I backed from the room, grabbing my bag before I scrambled from the room. "Emilia wait!" I turned at the door, my hands trembling in anticipation of what was going to happen once I got ho. I gave Wesley a weak smile, a small blush creeping along his cheeks. "I uh, I was wondering, did you want to maybe go out? Like on a date?" I smiled as my wolf howled, nodding briefly as the storm loosened up outside. "Of course Wesley, just give

a heads up, okay?" He grinned as I opened the door, watching as he grabbed the keys form the hook next to it. "Let

drive you ho." "Oh, I don’t know if that’s such a good idea, " I trailed off, watching his eyes fall a bit. "Okay, just this once." He gave

another huge grin as he led

to his Honda, using his hands to try to shield

from the rain. I smiled as he turned on the car and cranked the head, his hand resting on the gearshift. I sighed before making the move I knew he wanted to do himself, and grasped his hand in my own. I looked out the window as I intertwined my fingers with his, sparks running up my arm. I saw him grinning in the window, causing

to smirk to myself. The patter of the rain hit the car, my eyes watching the grey clouds follow us. I knew mother was bringing them to cover my screams tonight, my heart racing as I tried to not cringe. ’Andrew, I need you to listen to

and to listen good.’

’Okay?’

’Tonight I will be incredibly weak at so point, my wall will fall and you will hear my screaming. Under no circumstances can you try to find , and you can’t let anyone be near you when it’s happening.’

’Emilia, what the hell! Please co back, you can stay the night here, your mom doesn’t have to know.’

’My mom already knows I was with you all today, I’m sorry.’

I cut off the link just as he pulled up to a house near my own, my lip rolling between my teeth. I turned back to him, hoisting my bag up my shoulder. "Thanks Wesley, I’ll see you Monday?" He gave

a smile, reaching out and brushing his hand across my cheek. "I, okay Emilia. I’ll see you then, if not sooner okay?" I gave him a smile before reluctantly leaving his car and walking up the steps to the fake ho. I watched his tail lights fade in the rain, my eyes squeezing shut as I finally slowly made my way to the barrier of our house. I stepped over it, my house shimring into view as the front door slamd open.

My mother was completely and utterly livid, the worst anger I had ever seen coming from her. Her hair flew around her and her eyes blazed a bright red, cutting through the dark night. My heart stopped montarily, my breathing catches deep within my chest. I was afraid, so very afraid as she stalked down the porch and ca to stand in front of . Her hand reached out and slapped , my eyes shutting at the force of the hit. "You were with him!" Tears fell down my cheeks, my heart racing as she gripped my arm and dragged

into the ho. "Mom, please."

She shoved

into the house, watching as I stumbled onto the hardwood floor. I tried being strong as I stood, my eyes finding hers. They were full of anger and complete fury, causing my heart to crumble inside of . The weather began howling as the storm raged around us, undoubtedly because of . "Would you like

to kill that entire pack!?" I shook my head hastily, my eyes begging with her as she gripped

by my hair. I tried to walk as close to her as I could as she dragged

down the stairs and into the basent. She threw

onto the hard concrete ground before making her way into an adjoining room, coming out with silver chains in her hands. She wrapped them around

and a wooden post, the silver sizzling my skin and burning everything it ca in contact with. I shut my eyes at the pain, I knew if I showed her any emotions she’ll hurt them. All I could do was shut my eyes, and pray it’ll be over soon. She tied

so my back was facing her, and I couldn’t see what happened next. I hear shuffling around, the door to the adjoining room slamming shut before a rip ca through the air. My shirt hung by my sides, covering my chest and my stomach but leaving my back completely bare. "I hope your worthless mate never sees your skin, he’ll be disgusted by it." That’s when I felt the whip. It was an agonizing pain, radiating through my body as she brought it back down on

over and over again. I scread, I couldn’t help but scream, causing her to bring it down with so much force my eyes began to roll into the back of my head. ’Emilia! Oh my god Emilia what the hell is happening?!’
