Third person POV (2 days ago

Nora Parker or rather Nora Sanders as she calls herself now smirked at her daughter's reaction when she saw her. She had always hated Rosalyn since before she was born, Nora had once visited a witch to read her fortune and it was there she found out she was pregnant and the witch told her that the baby she carried would cause her to loose someone special to her.

At the time Nora was having an affair with a mysterious rogue she met in the woods, she had been visiting the witch to get potions to conceal their presences whenever they would meet up and potions to keep her husband unaware of her infidelity, it was then Nora found out that Kevin was cheating on his wife.

Nora had ignored the witches warning being too wrapped up in her secret romance to realize the consequences her actions would yield. But when Nora informed her lover of the news he had not reacted the way she expected, instead he refused to accept their child as he had plans a child would hinder, so he left her without a second thought.

Although she was heartbroken Nora knew she had to fix her mess so when her husband returned from his month long mission she would have sex with him on multiple occasions in order not to arise any suspicion when she told him she was pregnant and, on the plus side he was a beta so no one would question her rapid development.

Everyone around her was so happy but Nora couldn't help being depressed she even tried to end her pregnancy once. After Rosalyn was born Nora couldn't help but loathed the child because she was the reason the man she loved had left her and she was a constant reminder of what she had lost and to make matters worst her husband and son loved the child and would often spend all their time with her.

When Rosalyn left Nora was ecstatic, finally she was free of that burden but her joy turned to anger when her husband kept searching for her non stop. Nora didn't know what to do she was so angry, even though Rosalyn was gone she still created problems for her. Some time later while Steven and Michael searched tireless for Rosalyn Nora's lover contacted her again, he apologized for his behavior and whilst everyone was busy searching for their daughter they were busy making up for lost time.

Nora and her lover made plans to leave together, while he used his leverage on Steven whom he had done business with multiple times to get him to allow Nora to leave the pack, Nora made a request of her son and husband that she knew they would deny her and as expected it all went as planned. Nora left with her lover to live out her happy ever after and when she decided to mate with him she hadn't bother to use a potion and spare Steven from the pain, as a result leaving him bedridden.

Now after all those years Nora is once again face to face with the person she hates the most in the world.

"I see your as stubborn as always Rose" Nora said as she picked up a poison coated knife

"And I see your still a bitch" Rosalyn sneered

Nora cackled at Rosalyn's reply then jammed the knife in her leg. Rosalyn scream as the poison burnt her cut and spread throughout her body, she was thankful she had blocked out Alessandro because she didn't want him to feel her pain. Nora twisted the knife in Rosalyn's leg as she pulled it out

"Why don't you be a good little girl and do what mommy tells you rose, reject that boy right now"

"Why don't you come a bit close so i can snap your neck" Rosalyn retorted

"Like I said stubborn as always but don't worry i know how to bring you down a notch"

"You see Rosalyn I'm not the bad guy here you are, afterall you took everything from me"

"I took everything from you? you must be crazy, you abused me since I was a child and when my father tried to look for me you left him and cheated on him your nothing but a slut" Rosalyn yelled

"Ahh yes Steven, how is he doing I heard he's been under the weather" Nora mocked

"Go fuck yourself why would I tell you anything about my dad? Your the reason he's sick"

"But you miss understand Rosie dear I never asked you about your dad I asked about Micheal's father" Nora replied with an smirk

"Have you lost your memory or something he's both our father"

"Ha ha ha ha" Nora laughed " I can see why you would think that but your wrong" Nora said her expression turned serious at the end

"What the hell do you mean I'm wrong" Rosalyn asked

"Well you see darling Steven isn't your real father your real father-"

"Is me" Evans spoke up shocking everyone in the room including Kevin

"What!!" Rosalyn yelled "if you think I would believe anything the two of you say your all crazy this is just some plot to get me to break down"

"Ohh but it's no trick Rosalyn I am your real father your mother and I met years ago and she got pregnant but I had to leave so Steven raised you. I should really thank him for all that he's done" Evan replied with a smug grin at his last comment

Rosalyn didn't believe what she heard and she refused to let them trick her so she decided to consult with her wolf

"Hey you there?" Rosalyn asked

"Yeah am right here" Althea her wolf replied

"Are they telling the truth is that bastard really my father?"

"Am sorry rose but they're not lying I reached out to his wolf and he is our father" Althea whimpered

A tear slipped pass Rosalyn's lashes as everything that has happened to her over the years replayed in her mind, then she thought of Steven and how much he sacrificed for her.

Nora and Evans smiled as they saw Rosalyn crying, her eyes unfocused as she's lost in her own thoughts but they weren't finished as yet

"Oh come now darling you shouldn't shed your tears for dead people it's such a waste" Evans taunted

Snapping out of her haze Rosalyn replied "he's not dead you asshole"

"Not yet but he will be, you see I was the one who gave Kevin the wolfsbane he used to keep his daughter's wolf at bay, that is until your son intervened. In return Kevin ordered the doctor to inject small amounts into Steven as well and he's been doing such for months now" Evans told her

"He should have been dead already but he is a stubborn one as well but no matter in a couple of days he'll be a dead man seeing as you disappearing drove him over the edge" Nora laughed

Rosalyn couldn't believe what she was hearing so she tried to reach out to her dad's wolf Riley but he did not reply. Fear creeped into Rosalyn's heart as she thought about her father dying, how could she not have realized he was being poisoned. Her fear quickly turned to anger as she shook violently

"I am gonna kill you all" she yelled

"Ahh there it is the anger, the fear. Not so calm and collected now are we Rosie" Nora jeered

Walking over to her Nora grabbed a whip and slashed Rosalyn all over her body with it causing her to scream out in pain while Kevin pleaded with Jermaine to just reject Rosalyn and the torture would stop but no matter how they coaxed him Jermaine refused. They electrocuted, whipped, stabbed and even beat them both to near death however they both refused the offers.

Evans Nora and Kevin tortured Rosalyn and Jermaine for hours but neither of them yielded to the demands made, instead they tried to sooth each other's pain by promising to hold on and assuring each other of their love, eventually their torturers gave up and decided to retire for the night with the intent of torturing the couple more severely the next day.

As they laid in their separate cages beaten and bloodied Rosalyn and Jermaine both thought about all they have been through. Jermaine thought about all the years his father would torture him and beat him when he couldn't get to his mother this was something no one knew about not even Judith herself.

Kevin would vent all his anger onto Judith every chance he got. Whenever something was wrong in his life or someone pissed him off his wife would pay the price, however he had come home one day angrier than he's ever been searching for Judith; when he couldn't find her Jermaine took her beating that evening it was then he realized his father was abusing his mother. Intent on saving his mom he would allow his father to take out his anger on him instead and that's how it went until Jermaine was 18 years old.

As Rosalyn and Jermaine laid silently a young 17 year old girl quietly entered their cell with a tray of food and water along with some medical supplies. It was not until she started opening Rosalyn's cage did they notice someone else was in the room. Rosalyn quickly took on a defensive stance even though her body was weak

"I-i-i-I'm not gonna try and hurt you I'm just here to clean your wounds please be quiet I don't want them to know that I'm helping you guys" the young girl stuttered

"And why should I believe anything you say" Rosalyn asked

"Really!? I'm a weak human and your a werewolf what chance would I have in killing you even if your not at your full strength the way you stood up not so long ago I wouldn't stand a chance against you" the girl replied
