Mated in the shadow of my sister by lady gwen
Chapter 138

Chapter 0138 Seeing no other outlets to release my frustration, I punched the wall. And then I punched it again. For a full twenty minutes, I continued to punch at it. I only stopped when I saw more blood on the wall than drywall. I looked down and realized that my entire fist and all of my knuckles were solid red. I was pretty sure I had even broken bones in my hand, although I could not feel anything in that moment except numbness and rage. “Feel better?” Joey asked, as he wiped the blood off the wall and hung the second painting back up. “No,” I responded, still angry. Jessica came over with a wet cloth and gently wiped my hand. She then handed me ice and encouraged me to sit back down on the couch. “Are you ready to continue?” Dr. Miller asked. I ignored his question, choosing to instead ask one of my own. “Why?” I whisper-yelled. “Why would Lily put herself through any of that? Why not just report it? And she has a special wolf. Why not bring Rose forward and stop Stephanie? It does not make any sense!” “She was 12,” Dr. Miller responded. “She did not have her wolf yet. And she definitely did not have the adult maturity that would lead her to think about other options. In her mind, she did everything that she could.” “SHE COULD HAVE TOLD ME OR MY PARENTS! OR HER FATHER! WE WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING!” I shouted. “Would you have believed her?” Jessica asked me coldly. “Or would you have written it off as the crazy ramblings of a 12-year-old girl?” “Of course I would have believed her! And there would have been medical records to prove it!” “You are lying to yourself,” Joey said. “You never would have believed her. Stephanie and Margie would have come up with some rational explanation. Maybe they would have told you it was a bad dream; maybe they would have said that Lily did it to herself to get your attention; maybe they would have said Lily was simply helping out with Stephanie’s self-defense training and things accidentally got out of hand; maybe they would have come up with some other explanation. Whatever they would have said, do not insult us or yourself. I remember very well what you were like then, and you never would have believed it. Never.” “Yes, I would have. I know I would have!” “You barely believe it now,” Joey taunted. “Your parents certainly did not believe her,” Dr. Miller added bitterly. I turned and glared at Dr. Miller. “She told them?” Dr. Miller shook his head. “No. I did. Lily begged me not to tell anyone what was happening. She was scared that ‘Molly’ would go back to hurting other wolves. But after the very first time I treated Lily, I chose to violate her trust and say something anyway. In retrospect, I wish I had been smart enough to realize who Molly and Laney were; had I known maybe I would have done something differently. But I did not know, and I was not thinking clearly. All I knew was that I discovered what was happening purely by accident, and I suspected it had been going on for a lot longer than I knew. I was furious, upset, and felt like I could not in good conscious allow it to continue. So I went to your parents for help.” My heart started to pound. “What did my parents tell you?? J Lady Gwen Author What happens when Lady Gwen tries to take a day off of writing in the middle of tell-all chapters? She ends up writing anyway, and you get a multiple chapter update on her return. A total of six chapters should be going up today, Hopefully I still have readers left by the end of these chapters. LOL. I know they are a lot to take in. Enjoy! Or hate me! Either way, thanks for making it this far!
