Felicity's POV.

The sun is completely gone by the time we reach the pack house, I didn't realize how long I had been gone by myself and then when Angela joined me, but a lot of the pack is still up and walking around the pack house. The minute Angela and I break from the forest all eyes are on us. My hand is in her's, with my chin up I walk towards the pack house. Before we arrived I told her we needed to look strong and let everyone know that we accepted each other's friendship. She told me that everyone knew she was coming to apologize with the acceptance of my mate.

Kendrick had first said no after all that's happened to me, but she had told him she wasn't going to do anything stupid. She told him she needed to explain herself to me and she needed to do it right away. He had hesitantly let her go but she said she wouldn't have backed down if he didn't let her see me. I guess he saw that, but she did tell me he had threatened to throw her out of the pack if she was lying.

I'm glad he let her come to me, we are definitely supposed to be friends instead of enemies. We finally reached the house and I still had a tight grip on her hand. "Felicity if you don't loosen your hold you're going to break my fingers," she says as she pokes my shoulder.

I chuckle embarrassed and lose my grip, "sorry, I didn't realize how tightly I was holding on. I'm too excited about everything." As we keep walking we reach a large room of the pack house where there is a large group of people sitting around entertaining themselves in different ways. A movie is being watched by the kids, the youth are sitting down either playing cards or just relaxing and there are some adults just sitting talking. At our entrance everyone's eyes shift towards us and every single one of their mouths drop open in surprise, they probably didn't expect us to walk in looking so chummy and comfortable with each other.

I ignore their stares, although my lips twitch in humour, and ask the only important question "where is my mate?" No one answers but just continues to stare at us, I frown and open my mouth to ask them again but I'm interrupted by the feeling of arms wrapping around me and lips pressed to my neck. Instantly I relax into the hold knowing its Kendrick by the content feeling I have with our physical contact.

"I'm right behind you," he says after pressing another kiss to my neck. I let go of Angela's hand and turn around to look at him.

"Kendrick, we need to speak with you in private. It's really important." He nods his head, grabbing my hand and pulls me behind him as he walks us to wherever he is taking us. Angela hasn't moved from my side since we first arrive. It's not long until we reach a door, he opens it and we both follow him in.

He motions for Angela to sit with his hand as he pulls me along with him. We move around his desk and he sits down pulling me onto his lap. This must be his office, it has bookshelves and papers everywhere with a computer on the desk. It's a lot smaller than I would expect it to be. I like it though, it's not too flashy as I've seen some other offices to be.

"First, I want to say I'm so sorry for losing my temper and scaring you Felicity. Angela, I'm also sorry for having hurt you but when I saw you hurting my mate, I lost it and couldn't control myself. I never wanted you to see me like that Felicity and for that, I hope you can forgive me." I could hear the shame in his voice and so I turn around in his lap and grab onto his face, "don't beat yourself up for this, please. Angela and I definitely could have handled this better between each other and we didn't. You were protecting me and don't think for a second I am scared or angry with you. I've never felt more loved and protected than I did it that moment," I say as I lean forward and kiss his lips.

A tearful gasp draws us back to the realization that we are not alone and I pull back, and I turn to see Angela sitting there with tears running down her cheeks. "A-Alpha, I am so, so sorry for hurting Felicity. I have no excuse for my rude behaviour but I do want to apologize. I have mistreated your mate and my new friend. I will accept any punishment you see fit for me."

Kendrick sighs in frustration and I can see he's going to say something but I interrupt. "Kendrick, before you do anything, I think you need to hear about why she tried to hurt me in the first place. She has a reason for it and I think it's important you listen. What you will hear is going to shock you." He stops and nods telling me he will listen. "Angela, tell him what you told me. Its okay, he is more understanding than you know."

Angela looks up at me and I smile and nod at her in reassurance, she takes a deep breath and begins her story. She starts from the beginning just as she did with me. How her dad left, her mothers anger and then her forcing herself upon her daughter. Using her body for her own sick pleasure, beating her and bleeding fear into her heart to not tell anyone. By the end of it, I've gotten up to hold her as she continues to tell Kendrick what has happened while crying the entire time.

The look on his face tells it all. His expression is hard as stone and his entire body is tense and locked in place. The anger building inside him is obvious as he clenches his fist and he grinds his teeth. Finally, as she finishes and her body deflates against mine he speaks, "this has been happening for years?"

Angela nods her head in answer, I watch as his jaw works even harder, "how can this been happening in my pack, in others, without anyone knowing this. There is no way that no one knows what's happening. I am ashamed to say I did not pay enough attention to have caught it myself. I am so sorry Angela, I could have seen the truth if I had just paid more attention. If I had, I would have connected the signs of what was happening to you earlier. It all makes sense now but I was so trusting of my pack. How blind I have been."

His fist hits the top of the desk in anger and Angela and I both flinch at the impact out of reflex. "I am so sorry for not stopping this from happening to you Angela. Will you forgive me? This kind of behaviour needs to stop within packs. I can't believe everyone acts like none of this is possible just because we're werewolves. This ends now."

I slowly let go of Angela and rush over to Kendrick. I grab his face in my hands and kiss him deeply. I smile at him as I pull away, "I love you so much right now. This is why we wanted to speak with you. Angela and I realized something out in the woods today. We both thought this whole time that we were alone, that no one else was going through the same things as us. What if there are more people like us in these types of situations. Boys and girls, men and women who can not break away from abuse, who feel alone and as if they can't get out of their situation by themselves."

I get to passionate I don't even realize I've stood up in the middle of my speech, "we can do something Kendrick. I want to let other's hear my story, so for those who are in the same situation can speak up too. I want to give them a chance to voice their pain and know that we can help them. No one deserves to feel the way Angela and I have, no one. I want to stop abuse in packs whether it be sexual, physical, emotional or any other kind. This has to stop. No one should be made to feel worthless and inferior!"

By the end of my speech, I am gasping for breath, the force of my feelings caused my voice to strengthen with each word I said. I have never felt more passion to start something, to put an end to another thing. Here is the beginning to an end.
