(Normal POV; a month after they found Wren)
"Donny," Sukari complained, "I don't see how this is helping me." Sukari was lying on her back in her bedroom with her legs spread apart. Donny was massaging her stomach and pushing on her sides while Sukari was breathing as he had instructed.
"I'm sure," Donny said. "Since we can't enroll you into a Lamaze class without exposing your true form, I'm going to help you. This will help you get through the childbirth easier, if you want the baby, that is." He looked up at her. "You really want the baby, don't you? You just haven't told Raph yet." Sukari looked at him with guilt and sat up, crossing her legs.
"Yes, Donny," she said, "I really do." Donny nodded and Sukari looked at her feet. "Donny, Can I tell you something and have you swear not to tell Raphael?" Donny nodded and sat in front of her. "A year ago, I spoke to Josh about having a child. He said that if I ever got pregnant, he'd make me get an abortion. Whether it was his child or not, he didn't want it. I wasn't surprised when you discovered that I was pregnant. I figured it would happen sooner or later. But, Donny, how can I have his baby? I know it could be Raphael's as well, but the likelihood of that is one in a million. That's not a big chance. I want this baby, but how can I raise Josh Mason's child after everything he did to me?"
"Sukari," Donny said, "I may not know how you're feeling, but let me give you some advice, brother to sister. You said that your mother, Wisteria," Sukari cringed at the mention of her dead mother, "had you out of wedlock because Bishop raped her. How do you think your mother felt when she realized that she was pregnant with you? That's something you should take up with her." Sukari looked at him, and then at her feet.
"I realize what you're saying, Donny," she said, "but I'm just scared. Not just of the baby, but because of what Raphael may be thinking. Raphael is not a kid person. How can he raise one?"
"You love him, right?" Donny asked.
"Of course I do," Sukari said.
"He's your mate, Sukari. He's your bond, your match. If anyone can talk to him, it's you. Ask him why he doesn't like kids. See if you can convince him that kids aren't bad. I'm sure that it will be alright. What are you afraid Raphael will do?" Sukari looked at him and a tear fell.
"Leave me," she said in a pained whisper. "I'm afraid he'll leave me alone with a child and a broken heart because I screwed up."
"How did you screw up, exactly?"
"I didn't fight Josh when he touched me. I wasn't strong enough. I could only go limp as he violated me. What would Raphael see in me after finding my weakness? I'm not strong and I never have been. I was born frail due to my half-blood."
"You're not frail and you sure as shell are not weak," Donny said. Sukari looked up at him. "Sukari, you're not any of the things that Josh or Bishop ever called you. If you're so frail and weak, how did you manage to survive eleven years of merciless torture and pitiless sadistic pain? No one I know would ever hold on that long. Not even Leo could do that. I see your scars. I know how your past was. You are the strongest person I've ever met. You're a dragon, Sukari. You have power that only others can dream about. Stop selling yourself short and grow some confidence." He didn't sound snappish. He sounded more supportive and brotherly. Sukari smiled softly and hugged him. Donny hugged her back.
"What's goin' on in here?" asked a humorous voice. Sukari smiled and looked over at her mate. He smiled that charming little smile of his and Sukari got up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He bent down and kissed her. Donny cleared his throat.
"Well," he said, "I'm gonna leave you two alone. Don't do anything I wouldn't." Sukari looked at him with a sly glance.
"Too late," she said, making both Donny and Raph laugh hard. Donny walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Raph instantly picked Sukari up and put her on the bed. She giggled and he kissed her, making her moan passionately. He climbed on top of her and his soft lips moved to her chest. He didn't have to remove any of her clothes because Sukari had stopped wearing them. She thought it was pointless since she had nothing to show in her form. Ever since the night when Raph and the family had rescued her from almost being raped by Josh's friends, she hadn't worn her ring.
Raph's lips moved across Sukari's breasts and down her abdomen. She moaned again and pet his pitch-black hair. He sat up suddenly and started undoing his jeans and taking off his shirt. She stared at his beautiful chest and abs. Once he got his jeans off, she gazed at his lower body with admiration. Raph smiled at her and touched her area and she gasped in pleasure. He stroked her lightly and rubbed her abdomen.
"What did Donny say 'bout intercourse durin' pregnancy?" Raph asked in a sexy whisper.
"He," Sukari swallowed, "he said that it won't hurt the baby or me." Raph smirked and slid his finger inside her. She moaned loudly in both surprise and pleasure.
"Good," Raph said. He moved his finger around and Sukari's breath began going rapidly and higher-pitched. She suddenly grabbed him and he grunted as she stroked him gently, being careful of her nails. He gasped and arched his back and she went a little harder. He suddenly grabbed her shoulders and thrust inside her firmly. She cried out in more of a pleasured gasp as he pulled out and thrust again. Sukari pulled him against her and he went faster. She arched her back and he put his mouth on her breasts. Sukari moaned loudly and gripped his shoulders. He started pausing between hard thrusts and Sukari knew he was coming. He yelled out her name and pulsated inside of her. He kept going, though. Sukari was feeling it too. She was about to finish. He thrust a bit harder until Sukari closed her eyes and screamed in pleasure. They both soon lay together, breathing heavily.
"Raph," Sukari said once she was breathing normally, "can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, baby," Raph replied with his mouth brushing her neck with his lips.
"Would you consider keeping the baby?" Raph stopped and looked at her. Sukari met his gaze and pleaded with her eyes. "Raphael, I've dreamed about being a mother since I learned about it in health class at school. I… I want this baby, Raph." Raph sat up and stared down at his girlfriend.
"What if it's Josh's?" he asked.
"So? Raph, just because the baby would hold Josh's blood, doesn't mean that he's gonna be some sadistic psychopath like his father."
"Why do ya keep sayin' 'him'? Ya don't know what da gender is."
"It's better than calling him an 'it'," Sukari said with her arms crossed. Raph matched her look and glared. "Why is it so hard for you to think about having a kid, Raphael?"
"I never said it was, Sukari," he said with his tone hard. Sukari looked away.
"You're acting like it," she said. Raph scoffed and got off of her and put his clothes on. "Where are you going?"
"Nowhere," Raph said without looking at her. He walked over to the door.
"Wait!" Sukari cried as she jumped off the bed and blocked Raph's way. "Please, Raph, don't leave."
"Baby," he said carefully so he didn't snap at her, "move." Sukari looked at him in confusion. He wasn't asking, he was ordering. Sukari looked at him with insult in her eyes. Raph's glare grew darker. "Now." Sukari looked at him for a minute before stepping to the side. Raph walked past her and closed the door behind him.
Sukari closed her eyes and put her hand over her mouth, but not before a sob escaped her throat. She fell to her knees and began crying, shuddering, and sobbing into her hands. A sudden small knock on her door was heard.
"J-just a minute," Sukari said. She wiped the tears from her face and stood up. She opened the door and saw the girl they'd rescued standing there, with some support from the door-frame. Sukari looked at her in confusion. "Shouldn't you be lying down?" Sukari asked.
"I heard you crying," the girl said. They still didn't know her name. Sukari looked at her again and then she led the girl into the bedroom. The two sat down and Sukari wiped her eyes again. "What happened?"
"My boyfriend and I had another fight," Sukari said sadly. "It doesn't really matter. What's your name, by the way?" the girl paused and looked down.
"Wren Martin," she said. Sukari raised her eyebrows.
"Nice, now what's your real name?" The girl looked up at her wide-eyed.
"How did you-,"
"I'm not stupid," Sukari said with a small smile. "Why would you give a complete stranger your real name?" The girl smiled a small smile.
"My name is Olivia Wither. I've gone by Wren Martin for five years."
"Why? I think it's about time you told me where you're from and why you were beaten nearly to death and left naked in an alley." Wren looked down at her feet and Sukari could see the remnants of bruises and cuts that she'd healed herself.
"I was taken by the Purple Dragons when I was twelve. They were looking for girls for this female servant auction they've been doing. I was the youngest."
(Flashback)
Wren stood in a line with her hands bound in front of her and a number around her neck. In front of her was a crowd of men who were shouting at her and making rude gestures and comments. Wren recoiled and stepped backwards, but she was shoved forward. A boy with sandy-blonde hair and a flat-bill hat grabbed her arm.
"Dis one is one dat we caught in an alley. She ain't got home, parents, or places ta go. Who wants ta take dis home tonight?" The crowd roared and Wren struggled in the boy's grasp. He looked down at her and squeezed her arm, causing her to cry out. A boy suddenly shouted out a price and the blonde guy looked up. "Alright, we got 1,000! Anyone for 2,000?" Someone shouted out the number and then more prices came, higher and higher, until 50,000 was shouted out. After that, the prices stopped being shouted and the blonde boy raised his hand. Everyone silenced. "Who said dat?"
A rather attractive boy with black hair and blue eyes stepped up. In his hand was a rather large wad of cash. His blue eyes were on Wren as he handed his money over to the blonde boy. They shook hands and suddenly Wren was being dragged away and out of the large room.
"I'm Dylan," the boy said. Wren didn't reply, she just struggled with her hand ties. She was taken to a smaller room and sat on the bed. Dylan looked at her and gave her a pitying smile. He walked over to where she was sitting and sat next to her. He undid her hand-ties and put his hand on her knee and she flinched and pulled away.
"L-look," she said, "I really don't want this. Please don't touch me. I've already had enough of that." Dylan looked at her in confusion before standing up. Without speaking to her, he removed his shirt and Wren stared at him.
"Are you sure?" he asked as he stepped back over to her, standing above her. "I could make you feel so good. You'll love it." Wren slid back, but ended up against the wall.
"I'm only twelve," she said with shimmering eyes. Dylan shrugged.
"So? Age is just a number, baby. I won't hurt you. I'm not like the other members. They would have raped you senseless by now. I'm offering a compromise. If you're good to me, I'll be good to you. I'm not just talking sex, either. I prefer relationships where it's fair. I won't touch you if you don't want me to, but you can't deny it for long." Wren stared at him for a moment before looking down.
"You won't hurt me?" Dylan shook his head as he crawled on the bed towards her. "Promise?"
"Cross my heart," Dylan said as he put a hand on her thigh. Wren hesitated for a moment, but when she felt his gentle touch, she spread her legs and lay down. He put himself on top of her and kissed her neck a few times before he undid her pants. He took them off and detached from her chest. "Take my jeans off," he said in a low growl. Wren reached down a fumbled with the buttons. When she finally got his jeans off of him, he took her hand and put it against his crotch. She felt the warm skin and she grimaced a little. He let go of her hand and placed himself between her legs. As he plunged inside of her she wept silently. He thrust against her, gently at first, but he started going harder. He lifted her suddenly by the legs and put her back against the wall. He thrust harder and moaned loudly as Wren just closed her eyes and imagined being somewhere else. As he finally finished, he pulled out and went to the small bathroom, leaving Wren on the bed as she cried silently.
Dylan came back into the room with new jeans on and took a look at Wren. He saw her tears and sat next to her, cradling her in his arms.
"Baby, what's wrong?" he asked in a whisper. Wren looked at him and more tears came to. He pet her head.
"I don't want this," she said between sniffles. "I want to go home."
"What home? Josh said that you have no home."
"I don't anymore, but I want it back. I don't want to be here!" Dylan tightened his grip on her.
"I understand, Wren, but there's not much I can do about that. If I wanted to, I would let you go, but I don't want to. I like you. I paid 50,000 dollars for you, so don't expect me to treat that lightly. You're mine, Wren, so I'd suck it up and enjoy my care if I were you. The other guys here wouldn't give a shit about you, but I do. Don't fuck it up." Wren looked up at him in insult and pushed away from him. He suddenly pushed her down onto the bed and pinned her. She cried out and swung her fist at him, but he caught it. Wren flinched, expecting him to take a swing at her, but he didn't. "I don't hit girls," he said with a scary little smile that said even though he didn't hit girls, he didn't mind hurting them. She gulped and Dylan smirked. "Do you want me to let go?" Wren nodded without making a sound. "Apologize."
"I'm sorry, Dylan," Wren said in barely more than a whisper. Dylan's grip got slightly tighter.
"For what?" he asked. Wren looked at him in scared confusion. "What are you sorry for?"
"C-complaining?" Dylan nodded and his grip got tighter and she winced.
"Are we going to have this conversation again?" he asked.
"N-no," Wren said in pain. Dylan smiled sadistically and let her go finally. He got up and Wren sat up, shaking. Dylan put a shirt on and tossed Wren's jeans next to her she put them on quickly and watched Dylan as he walked over to the door. "Where are you going?"
"Work," he said in a very casual tone as if none of that had just happened, "I work at the local motor shop. I'll be back tonight with dinner, though. Keep the door locked and don't answer it for anyone but Josh."
"Who?"
"The blonde guy that sold you." Wren glared.
"Why would I answer for him?" Dylan turned and looked at her.
"He runs the auction and the business, Wren. That's why."
"Fine," Wren said as Dylan finally left, locking the door behind him.
(End of Flashback)
"My, God," Sukari said once Wren finished. "I didn't know that the Purple Dragons were running a business like that."
"Yeah," Wren said. "They have been for quite some time."
"You know Josh Mason?" Sukari said, looking at Wren with confusion and shock.
"Yeah," Wren replied. "Dylan was a nice guy most of the time, but he had a heart problem and died about two years ago. I was given to Josh and he used me as his servant whenever he was there. He used to complain to me about some girl that kept causing him trouble. I can't remember what her name was, though. Susan, I think."
"Sukari?" Sukari asked.
"Yes, that's it."
"Wren, I'm Sukari. I'm the one he was talking about."
"You?!" Wren said in shock. "But you're so nice! The girl he was talking about sounded like a total bitch." Sukari winced.
"I'm not much of a bitch, but I am the girl he was talking about," she said after a moment. "How did Josh treat you?"
"Like shit," Wren said plainly. "If I screwed up, he'd punch me in the face or slap me or something. He used to come to my room just for quick sex and then he'd leave without saying anything. I hate that bastard."
"Is there any more to the story?" Sukari asked.
"Nothing that I'm ready to talk about yet," Wren replied. Sukari nodded once.
"Alright," she said. She suddenly heard a knock on the door. She got up and opened the door. "Hey Donny," she said.
"Hey Su," he replied. He looked into her room. "There you are!" he said to Wren. "I thought I told you to stay on the bed."
"Sorry," Wren said with her head down. "I-I didn't want to be alone in that room anymore." Donny walked over to her and she flinched. He stopped and looked at her in confusion. Sukari tugged on his arm and whispered something in his ear.
"Oh," he said in understanding. "Alright." He walked out of the room. Wren looked at Sukari with an eyebrow raised.
"I told him that you weren't comfortable being alone with guys quite yet. He gets it," Sukari explained. Wren smiled weakly.
"Thanks," she said.
"No problem," Sukari responded with a smile. "Let's go." She gestured to the door and put her hand out towards Wren. Wren stood and grabbed it and Sukari lead her out of the room.
There's chapter three. This will speed up soon, just give it time. Hope you enjoyed it!
