Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Jason stood completely still as Sage opened the door, welcoming all the very familiar faces. Sara smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek. Her grip on his hand tightened as Sage guided the pack into the foyer.

The second the alpha laid eyes on Jason, they widened. The skin-walker didn't have a chance to move when the alpha suddenly lunged at him.

"You fucking bastard!" He snarled.

Jason completely froze as he started punching him in the face. He wanted to fight back, but he couldn't, he learned his lesson a long time ago.

Blood was flowing from Jason's nose as the beta joined in. Sage growled and yanked the beta off, slamming him into the wall.

Sara tried to help, but Sage quickly told her no, that she'll risk harming the baby. Sara screamed at the alpha to stop, but he continued beating Jason.

The alpha was suddenly torn off as a very large light grey and white wolf stood above the skin-walker's body. His silver eyes shined with anger, his teeth were bared in warning.

"Alpha Ryan, you should know that we don't like anyone harming our family members." Sage growled lowly.

Ryan glared at her, "Why is this piece of shit here? He murdered my father!"

"Your father shoved him into slavery where he was abused every day. He deserved death." Sara snapped.

Sage sighed as he looked at the growling wolf, "Dad, can you take him to the infirmary? I'll guide these....animals to their rooms."

Dimitri growled again at the alpha and snapped at him, Ryan shrieked and jumped back. Dimitri quickly disappeared before returning in a pair of basketball shorts.

He suddenly grabbed Ryan by the throat and pinned him against the wall.

"Listen, I'm the king here. Jason is part of my family and I'm very protective over my family. Female or male. I don't give a flying fuck. You touch him or harm him in anyway, I will make sure you regret it. Got it?" He seethed.

Ryan narrowed his eyes, "He should be able to defend himself."

"Not when his PTSD kicks in. There's no escaping that. I have a friend who went through the same exact thing, once it's triggered, they freeze up or whatever."

Dimitri allowed him to slump to the ground before gently picking up the unconscious Jason. He flashed Ryan and his pack one more glare.

Once he was gone Sage looked at the coughing alpha.

"I suggest not pissing him off again. He has a history of killing people who do that."

Jason winced as he started to wake up, his cheek was hurting, along with his head. He slowly opened his eyes to see Sara laying beside him, her arms wrapped around his waist. He frowned in confusion, he tried remembering why he was there, but his mind was blank of memories.

"Hey, kid."

He looked over to see Dimitri sitting in the chair, arms folded across his chest and a stern look on his face. Jason swallowed.

"H-hey." He whispered.

Dimitri sighed and grabbed a glass of water.

"Here, this will help."

Jason hesitantly took a sip while watching Dimitri. Even after months of living in the same place, he was still intimidated by Dimitri. The man always looked angry, except for when he was with family.

Dimitri gently took the glass and placed it down, he then released a breath and looked at the slightly scared skin-walker.

"You scared the shit out of all of us." He stated.

"Mostly her." He nodded towards his daughter.

Jason frowned, "Did I die?"

"No, you've been in a four week coma though."

"Demetrius, stop scaring the poor boy. Jason, you've been out for at least a week. But you did scare us." Rosalie stated as she walked in.

Dimitri pouted, "It's April first today, I was going to say April Fool's!"

"Dimitri, that was yesterday."

"Whatever."

Rosalie rolled her eyes, "Anyway, you have a concussion, hence the reason I turned the lights off in here. Also, a broken cheek bone. You did have a black eye, but it's not swollen anymore. You just have a nasty bruise around it."

"I'm sorry." Jason mumbled.

Rosalie frowned, "Honey, there's no need to be sorry. It's that alpha's fault. He got a taste of his own medicine though, Mason beat the snot out of him. And your sister used her magic to spin the alpha in the air. It was actually amusing to watch."

Jason chuckled, "That sounds like Iris."

"Well, anyway, you are going to start training." Dimitri announced.

"What?"

"Me and my friend are going to train you. My brother, Xavier, is going to help too."

Jason frowned, "Who's your friend?"

"Hey, guys, I just found out that peeps explode in the microwave!"

Jason frowned as a man burst in, a large smile was on his face as he pointed at a box of pink peep bunnies. Rosalie raised an eyebrow.

"You're an idiot." She mumbled.

Dimitri pinched the bridge of his nose, "Seriously, Alaricas?"

"What? They do." Alaricas grumbled as he walked over.

Rosalie sighed, "I'm going to check on my children. Alaricas, if you don't quit blowing peeps up in the damn microwave, I'm going to lock you in a cage with monkeys."

Alaricas paled and nodded, "Yes. Ma'am."

After Rosalie left, Alaricas looked at Jason. He smiled and sat down.

"Hey, name is Alpha Alaricas, but you can call me Alaricas. Peep?"

Jason glanced at the box of peeps as Alaricas held them out to him. He gulped and shook his head.

"Not hungry." Jason stated.

Alaricas shrugged, "More for me then."

Dimitri watched Alaricas with a disgusted look. "Those aren't even real marshmallows."

"So?" Alaricas frowned.

"That's gross."

"Your face is gross."

"Immature idiot." Dimitri grumbled.

"Relax, ya stupid emu."

Jason groaned and massaged his temples, "Why am I training?"

"Oh, to defend yourself. This peeps eating idiot is going to help you cope with your PTSD." Dimitri explained.

Jason frowned, "How did you know I have PTSD?"

"It's not hard to see, kid."

"Oh."

"Yeah, my mate helped me through mine. The crazy bitch isn't here, unfortunately." Alaricas sounded.

Jason raised an eyebrow, "Crazy bitch?"

"Yeah, that's my nickname for her. She calls me her annoyingly cocky bastard."

"Wow, relationship goals." Jason sighed sarcastically.

"Hey, she's hot. So, totally goals."

"Alaricas, you sound like a teenager." Dimitri yawned.

"Do not."

"Do so."

"Do not!"

"Do so!"

"You both sound like twelve year olds! Now shut the hell up before I get out of this bed and shove those damn peeps up your asses!" Sara snapped as she woke up.

Jason chuckled at the men's frightened and pale faces. He wrapped his arm around his pregnant mate and kissed her on the forehead.

She smiled up at him, "You're up it seems."

He chuckled, "I am."

"Awe, young love. Disgusting." Alaricas smirked as he ate another peep.

Sara rolled her eyes, "Do I need to call Jolene?"

Alaricas paled even more, "No."

"Uh huh, thought so."

She then looked at Jason with a serious expression.

"What happened in the Summit pack?"

Sara watched as Jason stared at her with eyes filled of fear. She smiled softly at him and gently stroked his cheek.

"If you don't want to, you don't have to tell me." She whispered.

He sighed, "No, I should."

It was quiet for a few more moments before he finally decided to speak.

"My parents had asked Ryan's dad if they could live on his territory, considering that was where they were building their house. He gave them permission, but weeks later he took them and threw them into the dungeon. Claiming he needed to use their house for Ryan's cousin and her daughter."

"Not too soon after, my mother gave birth to me. She was able to raise me while my father was beaten every day. When I turned five is when true hell started for me. I never understood why the other kids hated me at school. I knew what I was, but my mother told me skin-walkers and werewolves aren't at war. That we've been living beside each other for centuries."

"They would constantly bully me, calling me names, shoving me into lockers, beating me up, and so on. When I had returned to the dungeons one day I was forced to watch as they tortured my parents. I saw them rape my own mother."

His voice cracked as tears pooled into his eyes.

"I-I wanted to look away, but they wouldn't let me. They....they were perverted and terrible men. They said if I didn't be a good little slave then they would do the same to me."

Flashback

Jason shook as he was forced to watch them beat and rape his mother. His father begged for them to leave her alone, but they only laughed at him. His mother's clothes were gone, torn into small pieces.

Her blood decorated her body along with the dark bruises of their hatred. They whipped her, kicked her, punched her, and then did the most disgusting thing.

His father screamed as he felt his mate's pain. He had tears running down his face, begging them to leave his wife alone. But they ignored his pleas again.

After hours of watching, they finally snapped his mother's neck. Jason's father crawled over to his dead mate and kissed her one last time. He then looked at his horrified and crying son.

He smiled sadly and dragged himself over to his five year old. He wrapped his arms around his son and cried.

"I love you, buddy. Don't you ever forget that. Your mother loves you so much." He whispered, cupping his son's face.

Jason nodded, it broke his father's heart to see the confusion. The five year old didn't understand why his father was saying this. He didn't understand why any of this was happening.

"Not all werewolves are like this, son. Please, don't judge the whole race due to a small majority of them doing horrible things." His father pleaded.

"I won't, dad." Jason whispered.

The large men suddenly pulled his father away as one of them grabbed his head. His father smiled at his son once more with tears in his eyes.

"I love you, Jason."

With that, the man snapped his father's neck. Jason cried loudly as he hugged his dad's limp form.

"Dad! No, please don't leave me!" He sobbed.

"I'll be a good son! I-I promise!"

"What do we do with the whore's baby?" A man asked.

Jason turned around to see the man holding an infant. His parents' scent was surrounding the small pup.

"Please...let me care for her." He begged.

The men glared at him.

Jason swallowed, "I-I'll be a good slave if I can keep my little sister."

The tallest man nodded, "Very well then. She will be placed in the nursery. Once she's old enough, she will join you down here. She can be a maid in the packhouse when she's trained."

Jason watched as the men walked away, leaving him in the bloody cell that held his parents' bodies.

A/N: Next few chapters will be all of Jason's past in the Summit pack. I will fast forward through the years though.

Warning, he has a dark past.
