Chapter 142

Chapter 0142 ***TRIGGER WARNING: This is the final chapter that will talk in detail about the horrific things that Stephanie and Sheila did, which include references to elder abuse and sexual assault. Warning: this is really sick stuff. I promise this is the worst of it.*** (James POV) I stared at Jessica for a moment, words escaping me. “What are you saying?” Jessica did not say anything. Instead, she held on tighter to Joey and looked over at Dr. Miller. Suddenly, Dr. Miller’s words rang through my head as well. Around the time that Lily was being tortured, there was an increase in the number of wolves experiencing betrayal pains from otherwise faithful partners. Oh, Goddess. Oh, no. “Are you… are you saying that Stephanie and Sheila intentionally caused other wolves to experience betrayal pains as a form of torture?” I asked. I did not even try to mask the sound of fear in my voice. Jessica nodded. I glanced over at Joey and Dr. Miller. Neither of them looked surprised. “What… what did they do?” I asked hesitantly. Jessica looked down at the list. “Are you sure you want to know?” Fourse, I do not WANT to I groaned. “Stop asking me that and just start answering my questions. know. But I do not have a choice. I have gotten this far. At this point, I NEED to know.” Jessica frowned. She stared at the list as she began explaining. “This list does not represent all of the stories; just a few of them. I really did think they would be willing to talk to you. I am sorry that they did not.” “Stop stalling, Jessica.” Jessica took another deep breath. “Dorothy’s husband got really bad dementia, and Dorothy had to move him into the pack’s senior care facility. Just before he died, Stephanie and Sheila took advantage of him, if you know what I mean. That caused Dorothy to experience severe betrayal pains for several hours. Apparently, they used a dress that they had stolen from Dorothy to convince her husband that they were her. Brandon was drugged by Stephanie and Shella the night before his wedding while he was out with the comfort her. Brandon’s wedding was postponed. Brandon and his mate eventually got back together, but his mate refused to ever step foot in West Mountain again. Kelly found her mate seven years ago. The night before Kelly’s wedding, Sheila took Kelly out for drinks to celebrate. Kelly started feeling betrayal pains, and she went home. She walked in on Stephanie sleeping with her new mate, who unlike Brandon had not been drugged but was completely wasted drunk. Kelly ended up rejecting her mate the next day. She left the pack not long after, when your father refused to even talk to her about what Stephanie had done. up Eric’s parents were involved in a car accident and they both needed surgery. They were placed in the same room after the surgery so that the mate bond could help them heal. Eric’s mother woke after her surgery unable to move; Stephanie or Sheila had injected her with something while she was unconscious. She had to watch as Stephanie and Sheila took turns with Eric’s father. The experience was so horrifying and traumatic that neither of his parents made it out of the hospital. Eric’s mother died of a heart attack while watching it happen, and Eric’s father is said to have died of a broken heart.” As I listened to Jessica’s recap and as reality set in, I suddenly felt the need to sterilize my lips, my hands, and my tongue. How had I ever kissed Stephanie? How had I ever allowed myself to think that she was my mate? How did I never notice how much evil flowed through her veins? How had I ever convinced. myself that both Stephanie and Sheila were trustworthy? Thank Goddess I never slept with either of them; I would have felt the need to cut my own di ck off.
