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 www.noveljar.com)The Alpha was holding the Luna to his side, leaning against the same
counter as Jaxon and Victor, on the 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 ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
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.”
