Chapter 58
Chapter 58
Alora’s POV
“Where to start?” I say with a breathless, and nervous laugh. “I’ve been abused by my parents and sister all my life.” The three
wolves hearing this for the first time stiffen, looking horrified, ‘Who abuses a pup’ they must be thinking. “I was beaten, chained
up and whipped, for any and every infraction, no mater how slight, whether or not it had anything to do with me.” I start to tell
them about it.
I continue, telling them about their, so called reasons for my abuse. “It was because I was born with dark hair, dark skin and
violet eyes.” they look furious, none of that should have ever been a reason to abuse a pup. “I remember on one of Sarah’s
birthdays, when we were just kids, I had asked for a piece of cake.” I had to stop a moment, my throat stinging with the emotions
the memory brought up, but they needed to know the depth of their cruelty.
“Bettina started to slap me, repeatedly, shouting at me about how dare I ask for any of Sarah’s cake.” Jaxon is leaning against
the counter next to the sink, Victor leaning against him. Jaxon was holding onto Victor, both of their faces a mixture of fury and
confusion, Maximus wasn’t doing much better. He had to sit down in one of the bar stools around the Island counter. Darien was
sitting in one, Serenity in front of him, clutching each other close.
The twins also sitting down now, their firsts clenched, sitting on the counter top. (This novel will be daily updtaed at

other side of the sink. “She dragged me to the basement, then chained me to a support beam so I couldn’t get away.” my voice is
husky now. “Then she whipped me, I remember screaming that I was sorry, that I would be a good girl, begging her to stop.”
I’m looking down at the counter I’m sitting on. “She listened to none of it, not my cries, not me begging her not to hurt me, I was
drenched in my own blood and had wounds everywhere but my face.” my voice was pain filled, almost a whisper. Remembering
it brought with it a whole host of emotions. “That was the first of many times she would drag me to that basement, and whip me.”
A tear slips down my face, I use my wrist to wipe it away.
I go to take a drink but it’s empty, Kian, the one closest to the fridge, gets up and gets me another. They wait patiently for me to
take a drink. “Sarah, she liked knives.” I say with a grim smile, I take another drink, they each seem to brace themselves after
hearing what Sarah liked. “She would make a game of it.” I say hoarsely. “She would see how deep she could cut to get the most
screams from me, she liked to slice me to ribbons, cut after cut.”
I hear a whimper to the side, it was Serenity. “She liked to push her fingers into the slices she made, digging until I screamed.”
low growls coming from the twins, Maximus looking green, the Alpha furious, the Luna devastated. Darien, Jaxon and Victor
matching looks of fury, Serenity, just as devastated as the Luna. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)”She liked
to have me chained up high, so she could watch my blood pool on the floor as she cut me up. She would get this crazed look in
her eyes, she got some kind of sick enjoyment from what she did to me.”
.
My voice broke a little on the last part, but I press on after taking another drink. “When she was furious about something, she
would lie to Bettina. As we got older, the lies turned to me sleeping around.” I tell them. “Allister would drag me by my hair, and
he and Bettina would chain me up against the support beam, then they would beat and whip me.” I take anther drink. “Then after
they left, Sarah would come down and take out her bad day on me.” I pause for a moment. (2
“As I got older and started to develop, the man I thought was my father, would come into my room at night.” Maximus is pale, “I
was always so scared to move, but he would raise my shirt and stare at me, while getting himself off.” Maximus is furious, so are
Jaxon and Victor, their growling, I take a drink, the cans almost empty now. “One night, he came in drunk, and he started to
grope me.” I gulp the rest of the can, Kian brings me a bottle of water this time. 5
“He started to rip my clothes, I couldn’t take it, so I let Xena come out,” I take a drink of the water, needing to hydrate after the
caffeine. “She attacked him and was about to kill him when we were hit with the desk chair I had in my room.” I tell them “It
knocked us out for a moment, when I came to I was back in human form, and Allister was gone.” I pause for a moment. “I started
to lock my door every night, but that didn’t end it.” I say grimly.
“He got a key to the door and started to come in at night again, but he didn’t attack me again like that night, he was back to just
getting himself off.” I drink more water, needing a moment “It was a while before I remembered seeing this trick in a movie I
watched with Darien once” I tell them “I started to stick my desk chair under the door knob before going to sleep, this was what
stopped his nightly escapades into my room.” I shiver at the memory.
“I paid for that though,” I say hoarsely. “Every time Sarah cried whore at me, he would take special pleasure in whipping me until
he couldn’t swing the whip anymore.” Serenity whimpers again. “There was a week I was locked away in that basement.” my
tone almost a sob on the word basement.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “Every day, all day, they took
turns exacting their favorite punishments.” my voice heavy with the pain of that memory. “Bettina had learned to like burning me,
those wounds lasted the longest.”
Gasps and Growls of horror came from all around the room at that. “At the end of an entire week of this, Bettina came storming
down.” I take a couple of drinks of the water. “She starts slapping me, screaming, asking what made me so special, that the
Alpha of our pack would demand proof of my well being, screaming that I must be screwing one of the Alpha’s son’s.” The Alpha
is looking so horrified, I hadn’t told them this part of everything. O
“My friendship with Darien caused more than a few beatings.” I say softly, Darien looks up at me, stunned by that, horrified, I give
him a weak smile, it was all I could manage. “I never regretted our friendship or any of my involvement with this family” I tell him
firmly. “No matter how often they punished me for it.” I look at him. “I know your the one who reported my absence from school.”
I pause, tears burning my eyes “if you hadn’t, I would have died in that basement” I tell him, he pales at my words, clutching
Serenity closer to his chest for comfort. “I’m grateful that I’ve always had you as my friend, my best friend, without you, even with
the trouble it caused, I would have been dead long ago,” I pause “Our friendship, and your families care, has been what’s kept
me going, made me realize I had to keep going, because I deserved better, and one day would get it.”
I pause again, “One of the greatest gifts you all have given me, was hope.” I tell them hoarsely. “Everyone of you gave me the
tools, and the help I needed, to escape those people.” I look at Darian, holding his gaze “I’m a Clan Alpha now, my powers have
been released, I know who my true father is, and I’m connected with Selene now.” I tick off each amazing thing to happen. “So
don’t you feel guilty, don’t ever feel that.” my tone firm.
“You, Damien, the Alpha and Luna have helped me gain more than I ever could have without you all there for me.” My emotions
almost choking me again. I look at the Alpha and Luna, the Luna has tears streaming from her eyes, down her face. The Alpha’s
eyes are shiny, but he doesn’t shed them(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) ” Thank you, for everything
you’ve done for me.” The Luna steps forward, coming to me and taking me into her arms.
I cry, sobbing silently for a moment, I don’t think I could ever thank them enough for all they have done for me. It takes a moment
for me to recover, Galen hands me a tissue, I blow my nose. I look at them all for a moment “A Vampires skin doesn’t scar.” I
say.2
It was Victor, who said it in a grim tone “But their Sprites carry those scars.” 3
I look at him, his eyes are full of fury and understanding. I nod at him, then get off the counter “I think it’s time you all met
Selena.”
