Moonlight In Chains (Trinity and Asher) novel Chapter 20

The Day He Forgot He Hated Me by Evangeline Marrow

CHAPTER 20

I stood there trying to keep my composure but it was getting increasingly hard. Everyone was staring at me, waiting for me to defend myself but I really didn’t know what to say. What did they want me to say? Anything I come up with is going to sound like a lie right now.

Suddenly Asher walked over to me and he knelt down in front of me and forced me to look at him.

“I’m going to put you under my Alpha command. It is going to hurt and I’m really sorry. But I know that this isn’t something you want to talk about. But you have to.” Asher said.

“What do you know?” I asked.

“I don’t know anything. But if it’s what I think it is, you need to say it. So, I will put you under Alpha command so you don’t have a choice but to tell me. You have to tell us the truth.” He said.

I looked at him, pleading with my eyes. I didn’t want to say it. I couldn’t say it. But he grabbed my

hand and assured me that it was going to be alright.

So o he moved back slightly and I felt his Alpha aura start to pour out of him. The only people that weren’t affected by it were his family because they all came from Alpha blood. But my family and I were affected. I could feel the power start to take over. It was intense and painful. I tried not to fight it as much as possible but I also knew that he was doing this so I would talk about something

that I didn’t want to talk about.

Asher took me by the hand again and he wiped the sweat away from my forehead.

“Trinity. Did you have four abortions before you turned 18?” He asked.

“Yes.” I choked out. I grabbed the armrest of the chair with my other hand, trying to control the

pain.

Gage and Arlo had to look away, knowing that this was hurting me and they didn’t want to see it.

“Did you mean to get pregnant?” He asked.

“No.” I said.

“Who got you pregnant?” He asked.

I felt the tears starting to fall down my face. The pain was intense and under Alpha command, you can’t lie. It was physically impossible.

“Please?” I pleaded.

“I’m really sorry. But you have to answer me. Was it the same person that got you pregnant all four

times?” He asked.

“Yes,” I said.

“Who was it?” He asked. I tried to fight it a little harder, but that just made it even more painful. I

couldn’t fight it. Not any longer.

“Spencer.” I choked out.

I saw Asher’s eyes go black before he regained his composure and his normal green eyes were peering back at me.

“Your brother got you pregnant. Did you want to have s*x with him?” Asher asked through gritted teeth.

“No.” I whimpered.

I heard the Alpha and Luna gasp but Gage and Arlo were in my line of sight. They both looked at Spencer like they were ready to kill him.

I knew that if they had a chance and their father wasn’t here, they probably would kill him.

Asher finally released me from the command and I started taking a deep breath while the tears started flowing even harder.

Gage stepped forward to console me while Asher took a step back from my chair and he turned to look at my family.

Gage leaned forward and pulled me into his arms. Arlo was right by my side in an instant as well.

“You three are under arrest.” Alpha Dennis said to my family.

“Us three? We didn’t know about this. We didn’t know what Spencer was doing.” Mom snapped.

“Is that true?” Asher asked.

“They knew. They usually told him to have fun before they left me alone with him.” I said.

There was a chorus of growls echoing the room as the Alpha, Luna, Gage and Arlo were all furious and were out for blood.

All of this had been happening under their noses and they didn’t even know.

I never wanted anyone to know. But my parents had to try and screw me over with those clinic

forms.

I guess they just assumed that the Alpha would believe them instead of me. They weren’t counting on Asher knowing that there was something wrong with the whole situation.

They didn’t count on Asher being my mate. They still don’t know. So, warriors stormed into the room and arrested my family and dragged them down to the dungeon.

The whole three of them were screaming and arguing the entire time as they were being dragged away. Making sure that I knew they were going to make me pay for what I’ve done.

Gage didn’t wait for his parents to say anything else.

He stood me up from the chair and he took me out of the office.

We went back upstairs to my room and I sat on the bed resting against the backrest of the bed

with my knees up at my chest.

“I’m sorry Trinity. Asher knew that you were never going to tell us but we also wanted to know the

truth as well.” Gage said.

“Why couldn’t you all just leave it alone?” I asked.

“Because we didn’t know how serious the abuse was. We didn’t know about Spencer and we are

so sorry for everything that happened to you. We should have protected you better. We never imagined that they were doing that. But if Asher didn’t do that then you would be in the dungeon. right now and your family would be back in this house acting as if nothing happened.” Arlo explained.

Someone else then knocked on the door so I looked up and Asher was standing there.

“Can you two give us a minute?” Asher asked.

“Sure. We’ll be in our rooms if you need us.” Gage said. So I nodded my head.

As soon as they walked out of my room Asher closed the door and he walked over to my bed and

sat down, keeping a distance between us.

“Are you alright? I know the Alpha command can be intense.” He said.

I

“Why did you do that? I don’t care if I was the one in the dungeon. I don’t care about any of it. If it

means I’m away from them, then I don’t care where I am.” I said.

“Because I felt it.” He said.

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

“I already knew that we were mates when this happened. When Spencer did that to you. Every time he attacked you. I thought you were hooking up with my brothers. Or you were hooking up with other guys at school. I didn’t know that he was raping you.” Asher said.

“You felt it?” I asked.

“When a mate cheats, it’s extremely painful for the other mate. That’s why werewolves don’t cheat. There’s no way they can get away with it. Even if they’re not marked. And I felt it. I felt everything.”

He said.

“So, you know the nights that he attacked me?” I asked.

I

“Yeah. I know. I’m sorry. I just assumed that you were hooking up with guys. You didn’t know that I was your mate. And I did think a few bad things about you after that.” He said.

“I don’t blame you,” I said as I started crying even more. So he moved closer to me and pulled me

into his arms.

“I am so sorry. I should have been there for you. I should have tried to save you from them sooner. I knew something wasn’t right when I left but I still left.” He said.

“Asher. Why do you want to be with me?” I asked.

“Because you’re my mate. I’ve loved you for years.” He said.

“I am damaged. I’m f****d up. Why would anyone want to be with me?” I asked.

“Don’t you dare say that again. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. And whatever

happened to you isn’t your fault. It happened to you. You didn’t do it. And I will never blame you for

that.” He said.

“But aren’t you dating that girl from that party?” I asked.

“f**k no. She just showed up here and wouldn’t go away. Not until I forced her to. She was so
