Alora’s POV con’d
As I start my trek down stairs, my phone vibrates with a message. I stop, I’m halfway to the stairs, and pull out my phone to see
who it’s from. I know It’s not my parents or Sarah. I blocked their numbers, all of them, so they couldn’t harass me that way, at
least not yet. I had to blink at the ID card of who the message was from. He hasn’t messaged me since I sent him a thank you for
the jacket that I haven’t worn yet. Today will be my first day to wear it.
Hello Starlight, I wanted to wish you luck on your exams today. I’ll call you this afternoon, was his message. He was going to call
me later. It had been so long since I’ve heard his voice. It’ll be nice to hear it again, even if it is over the phone. Thank you, good
luck on your exams too. I look forward to your call. I send him back. He must have heard about some of what happened to me.
He probably wants to make sure I’m alright. I faintly feel a thread wrap around my heart at that. 2
Continuing down the stairs I go to the kitchen. Both the Luna and the Alpha are sitting their talking with coffee in hand. Luna has
a portable blood draw bag on the counter in front of her, they look up when they see me come in. They smile when they see me,
like they were genuinely glad to have me there. It was such a drastic change from what I was used to at Bettina’s. I loved it, it
warmed me to be welcomed like this.
“Good morning dearie, how did you sleep?” asked Luna, her tone soft, with genuine curiosity. She actually cared how I slept.
“I slept great once I was able to fall asleep.” I let her know.
She frowned slightly. “Something kept you up?” she asked with gentle concern. The Alpha also has a slight frown, he was just
observing for now, letting us talk.
“Well....after the Alpha came to talk to me I decided to meditate. I’d had a lot to think about.” She nods, then gestures for me to
continue when I stay silent. “Remember I told you Xena had pulled me into her ‘space’ at lunch yesterday?” They nod, staying
quiet, letting me explain in my own way. “Well, while I was in that ‘space’, I was able to see these chains that were around me.” I
paused. They both looked a cross between serious and worried. “Well they were already cracked and weakened by Matt
rejecting me.” 2
The Alpha and Luna looking at each other briefly, I continued on. “I managed to break them,” I tell them “That’s what allowed me
access to the power those chains had been binding.” I tell them. “I was able to gain access to all my magic, and the blessings
that mark me as a Lunar Princess.” Their look kept switching, angry, relived, worried. “That’s not all, not even the worst part.” I
said, they looked at each other, both having questioning looks on their faces. “Tell us.” said the Alpha. I ignore the sound of the
door behind me.
So I did, I told them about what Bettina had done. Everything she had done, I told them about Sarah. I told them about Allister,
even about that night. I told them everything about Selena, what the Moon Goddess had said. I gave them all the information
Selena had given me and Xena. I was grateful our first test wasn’t till ten this morning. It had taken me an hour to tell them
everything. The Luna had tears streaming down her face, and her face switched between grief and anger at all I’d been through.
I
felt like a weight has been lifted having truly talked. (2)
The Alpha had a furious look on his face and his fists clenched. “Those people will answer for their crime.” he growled out. Their
was a growl behind me. I turn. Darian’s eyes had shifted to wolf, he had one arm around Serenity, clutching her into his side. His
other hand down by his thigh, clenched in a tight fist. His form shook a bit. Serenity had tears streaming down her face, the
emotions on her face the same as the Luna’s. (2)
“Who’s telling Damien?” Darien growled out that question.
I frown confused. “Why would we tell Damien?” I ask.
“Because this is something we’re not going to be able to keep from him.” said the Alpha, his voice rough with a growl to it.
“That boy cares about you more than you know sweetheart.” the Luna said, she’d wiped her face and had gained her control
back.
“My brother needs to know, he’s always suspected, hell, i did too.” said Darien “It was obvious they were doing something to you,
but you wouldn’t say what.” He runs his free hand through his hair. “All those times you smelled like fresh blood, especially when
it was days in a row.” he stops, swallows. “The smell of blood has appeared less and less in the last two years.” he pointed out.
“Damien was told about all of it.” he tells me. Surprising me.
“Why would he be informed?” I ask.
“Because that was his stipulation for going to Collage. We were to watch over you, and help you escape your family however we
could” said the Alpha. “The moment he found you on that river bed your life became his concern.” his tone wry. “That boy has
always had an overly developed protective insinct.” he tells me. “But ‘you’ are special, always have been.” he said gently. 2
“I’m special to Damien?” I ask aloud, in shock. I mean, I new he cared, but was I really that special to him? 2
“Oh, my sweet darling Alora,” The Luna gets up and comes to stand in front of me. She raises her hands and puts them on my
face, looking me in the eye with a kind, and sad smile. “We are not the only ones who love and care for you Alora.” She tells me
in a soft but firm voice. This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com “You are indeed special to Damien.” she told me.
“But not just to him, you have me, Andrew, Darien and now Serenity.” she reminds me.
My heart is filling, I feel the sting of tears in my eyes, her words touching me deep. ‘We’re special’ I say internally to Xena and
Selena. Their crying as well, our emotions on the same wave length, there were people who cared about us, that felt so good.
I’m glad I didn’t wear mascara, the tears spilled over, the sob came out. The Luna wrapped her arms around me and held me as
I cried. 5
The Alpha came over and put an arm around Luna and a hand on my head. Here I am, a big bad Alpha, all my own....and I’m
sobbing. Thinking about that helped me calm down and stop the tears. I lift up my head, the Luna lets me go, her and the Alpha
still standing in front of me. I wipe my face with my hands, sniffling a little. Darien and Serenity come to stand over by the Luna
and Alpha. Serenity hands
The Alpha came over and put an arm around Luna and a hand on my head. Here I am, a big bad Alpha, all my own....and I’m
sobbing. Thinking about that helped me calm down and stop the tears. I lift up my head, the Luna lets me go, her and the Alpha
still standing in front of me. I wipe my face with my hands, sniffling a little. Darien and Serenity come to stand over by the Luna
and Alpha. Serenity hands me a tissue, nodding my thanks I blow my nose.
“Maybe later after you come back home you’ll introduce us to Selena.” stated the Luna, “I’d like to meet her, and see Xena again
too.” She said.
They both wanted that as well so I smile and nodded saying “Ok.” then I thought about it for a bit, frowning, “When you meet
Selena...you’ll need to brace yourselves.” I told them solemnly. They frown all looking at each other, confused. “A Vampires skin
doesn’t scar.” I began, regaining their attention. “A Vampires skin doesn’t scar, but...the skin of their Sprite does.” my voice quiet,
a little hesitant.
I was a big bad Alpha now, I couldn’t let these things bother me anymore. I needed to be stronger, and hiding because of our
scars was not being strong. They all look grim, waiting for me to finish. “When you see Selena, you’ll see all the scars of ours,
that she carries....and their are scars....everywhere.” This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com I finish. The looks on
their faces a mixture of horrified understanding, and angry pain, for me, their in distress.
It’s the Luna who composes herself first. She wraps an arm around my shoulders “Come on, I have food in the warmers, you all
will eat before going to school.” she said firmly. My stomach growled. I had absolutely no intention of disobeying, food was
involved. Hungry she wolves were not pleasant she wolves, food was essential for the continued happiness of all within range. 5
If I had a tail and wolf ears right now, my tail would be wagging, and my ears would be perked up in excitement. Xena chanting
‘food, food, food’ inside my head like an excited puppy didn’t help this image in my head, it just added a tongue hanging out the
side of my mouth. Selena no help because she was just as bad with her own chant of ‘food, food, food’. This novel will be daily
updtaed at www.noveljar.com Ok, so obviously I was hungry and would need to eat before going to school. So without complaint
I followed the Luna like....well like a hungry puppy. ‘Damn it! I’m supposed to be a big bad Alpha!’ I chide myself, does it work?
Of course not.
