Chapter 67
Master Brock’s POV con’d
She could very easily defeat him, and he knew it, but they were having fun, neither trying to really defeat the other, they were just
happy to have an opponent like them. They were both the same type of Hybrid. The joy I could feel radiate off the battle field was
amazing, the smiles on their faces bright. They were each enduring a test of stamina, her, in holding back, him, at keeping up.
They made a magical sight, both had their hair unbound. Their hair, one a midnight black with stars, the other all white, seamed
to be alive, moving in either a shadow or light vapor. Selena’s Lunar Princess regalia in place and visible.
Serenity’s POV
Watching my mate break the counter with his fists this morning while feeling his emotional turmoil through our bond, had been
heart wrenching. After this mornings debacle, Darien had held on to my hand and had Matt follow us, we had gone back to our
room. Once there he had Matt sit, Matt did, I stood by one of the book shelves, watching. My mate paced around for a bit. 2
Finally he spoke “How long ago did Sarah give you that sachet?” he asked him.
“Remember that fight we had, how I said I couldn’t be your friend and Beta if you were friends with Alora?” Matt asked him
Darien nods and said “Yeah, why?”
“It was about a month before that. I had been wanting to break up with Sarah, I hadn’t liked how she treated Alora.” Darien looks
at him in surprise, Matt nods then continued “She was complaining how you all were fooled by Alora, that she was just a mistake
her mother wasn’t able to abort, despite trying.”
That struck me with horror, that horribly evil bitch tried to kill Alora from the moment she was conceived.
“She gave me the herbs as a gift saying they would ward of evil.” Matt scoffed “Ward of evil my ass, it invited evil.” He said with a
growl.
“So this whole time, it’s been Sarah, that’s why it didn’t make sense.” Says Darien
They talk a little while longer, looking at the past, then putting it away. They were rebuilding their connection as Alpha and Beta.
That bitch had hurt my mate, I didn’t feel smashing her face in once was enough of a punishment. The lives she had destroyed.
There were three others who needed their lives rebuilt as well.
“Matt.” I startled him when I called out his name, he looked at me surprised, I smiled gently. “Can you call the girls and get them
over here now?” I ask him he looks confused, so I explained “I think they need to tell Alora their stories, each of those girls has
been a prisoner of Sarah’s for years.”
My mate is nodding “Alora will want to know.” He says “I don’t exactly know what she’ll do, but she won’t be cruel or heartless.”
Matt nods then he sends out a mass text to all three, telling them to come to the Pack house. None of them were that far away
from here, so it was only thirty minutes later when we were all gathered, in the main common area of the Alpha wing. Matt is
talking to the girls, telling them what I had said and that Darien had agreed. The girls agreed to. They looked very different than
before, each a beauty without all the gaudy clothes, jewelry and make up.
We all head down to the training arena, because that’s where Alora, Jaxon her new Gamma and my brothers were. The sight
we’re met with is pure magic, like something out of a Japanese fantasy movie. The jumping, the flips, turns, sweep, and the
clash and sparks of the swords. A beautiful, deadly, magical dance of grace and power. I was confused as to who Selena’s
opponent was, before I saw that the only one missing in the line up, was Victor.2
That must be Victors Sprite form. From the smiles on Selena and Victor’s Sprites faces, they were having fun. I went up to
Jaxon, he was staring transfixed, so I nudge him. He looks down at me, surprised I was there, confusion on his face a question
in his eyes. “What’s the name of Victors Sprite?” I ask him.
“Nicholas.” He said “Why are you here?” he asks. He looks up and sees the others are there. The she wolves had looks of awe
on their faces, totally entranced by the fight. Darien was talking to Master Brock, probably telling him why we were here. I turn
back to the battle and tell him about everything. He listens as we watch the fight. They’re just playing, I suddenly realize, not just
training.
I’d never thought of training as playing, but that’s what they were doing. Selena and Nicholas look so happy. “He’s really happy
she’s accepted him, he’s enjoying himself greatly.” Jaxon tells me.
Confused “Why would he worry about Alora accepting him?” I ask.
“Sarah and her parents.” He says, which really is all that’s needed. Those people needed to be put down like the rabid dogs they
were.
Alora’s POV
It was the whistle that got my attention. Masters distinctive call to halt Selena also knowing this signal from years of being an
inside witness, jumped back away from her opponent, landing in a relaxed standing position. Feet apart swords out, we look at
Master, he signals to sheath the swords. Selena does so, then fades back, while I come forward.
Out of the corner of my e ye I’ve seen Nicholas has done the same, as Victor is now standing next to me. I notice the others now
in the training arena. Matt and Sarah’s three former friends, Darien and Serenity are now there. They are all staring at us, each
wearing a different version of amazement on their faces. I guess we did put on a show.
I look at Darien, he walks forward now that he has my attention. I know he’s got something to tell me that he thinks I’m not going
to like. But Darien is my best friend, I’ll always at least listen to him, and support him, even when I don’t always agree, then I get
vocal, but I still help. The only other one, who
was there for me like this, was Damien.
I was in the sixth grade when I was being bussed from the middle school to the high school, five of my classes being at the high
school, only two in middle school. During those three years, I shared a lot of classes with Damien. He would always look out for
me, the big protective Alpha wolf protected me, making sure I was safe there.
That safe feeling vanished the day he graduated, worse, he was going away for five years. But with Darien’s friendship and the
training I got from Master Brock, I rebuilt it. At school...at work...at the Lab...I had been safe. It was only in those peoples house,
where the never ending nightmares had been. Damien’s the one who had taken me to Master Brock. 2
Already having approval from the Alpha, Damien had picked me up the day after his graduation, and taken me to the training
arena. There he had introduced me to Master Brock. At the time of the meeting my world was crumbling and I was losing my will
to keep going. Damien was leaving, and it would be five years, was all I could focus on at the moment, plus Allister had just tried
to rape me not long before that.
Master Brock had stared down at the scared broken pup that I was, and had immediately agreed to train me. Under his tutelage I
grew in strength, and I discovered a fierce will to live. I’m so grateful for what Damien had done for me. I missed him so much my
heart ached. He was coming home soon, maybe tonight. Goddess I hoped it was tonight. Would he be proud of the person I’ve
become?
Darien stood in front of me, making me refocus on the here and now. I look up into his eyes, I smile an raise and eyebrow in
question. I don’t know if it was that he was nervous, or if my face was really that funny, but he laughed a moment before finally
speaking. “I had a long talk with Matt, and I’ve taken him back as my Beta.” His look nervous.
I smile though, Matt’s change in his attitude, and his reasons for his fight with Darien, never made sense. “That’s great, I knew it
always bothered you.”
He looks confused for a moment, then decides not to question it, instead “So Serenity had this idea, and I agreed with it.” He
says.
“Okay, and what idea is it?” I ask after a moment of silence.
“I think you should hear their stories.” He says
I’d already planed to, I’m glad he agreed. “I was going too, it’s why I told Matt to have them meet with me today.” I told him still
smiling 2
He seems surprised and relieved at the same time “I was worried how you would take this, after everything that’s happened.” He
said
I tell him the truth “Being controlled by a spell for years of their lives, make them as much her victims, as I was.” My voice
solemn.
