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

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 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

finally going to get us help.‘

I suffered. She had too, that suddenly made me realize
