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 Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
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

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.”

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.
