Chapter 27

Alora’s POV

Today seemed to be a day for reliving horrible things, that have happened to me in the past. Unfortunately to figure out what has happened and why, I have to relive the bad, painful, bloody memories. Not a fun adventure. It just further illuminated how fucked up and abusive my family has been to me. ‘Will I ever be able to heal from the wounds they had all gleefully given me?’ I wondered. 2

“How do we heal from all that has been done to us?” I ask Xena.

“I don‘t know...but maybe…? she hesitates.

“Maybe?” I prompt her.

“Maybe we could talk to Luna Ember?’ she’s still hesitant.

I could understand why she was always urging me to talk to someone, to tell them what was happening. And while I would talk about some of it to Darien… I’ve never told him about the full extent of the horrors visited on me. I still haven’t told him about what dad did, that one time he was drunk, shaking my head to avoid that atrocious memory. I focus on what Xena had said.

“I think....you might be right...and maybe we should talk to the Luna I finally say to her. I feel her surprise at my words, already understanding it. “I want to heal, we‘re an Alpha now, we need to be healthy mentally.” I pause a moment. “Well as mentally healthy as we could possibly be, considering all that‘s happened.” I say the last in a dry tone.

Xena snorts at this last comment. She says in a soft tone ‘I‘m glad you‘re

I’m full of questions. But one that nagged me enough to ask out loud. “Why didn’t they have anymore children after me?” Looking at the fight happening without really seeing it. Then Darien next to me straightens saying . “Oh! I know the answer
