Alora’s POV Con’d
We were walking to the area Darien said his parents wanted to meet us when I get the text. GO TO
THE PRINCIPAL THIS INSTANT. YOU WILL HAVE YOUR NAME CHANGED BACK TO NORTHMOUNTAIN BEFORE YOU FIGHT IN THE NEXT EVENT!!!I laugh at the text. Darien looks
down at me.
“What’s so funny?” I show him the text. He snorts. “Why would you ever want to change your name
back?” he asks. “Not that you could in the next few minutes anyway, besides, your blood sworn into the
pack under that name now anyway, you would have to take another blood oath with the Alpha.”
“And your dad being the Alpha is not a push over, he won’t do it unless I want to, and he more than
knows how much I love my new name.” he nod’s “You’re right.” another text comes in WE WILL SEE
YOU IN THE OFFICE, IF YOU DON’T GET THERE IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES YOU WILL REGRET IT WHEN YOU GET BACK TO THE HOUSE!!! I show him the new text.
“At least we know where they’re going to be for most of the break,” he pauses. “At least till they get
tired of waiting and come looking for you.” his tone dry.” I wish we knew where Sarah was going to be
so we could avoid that she-bitch.” Serenity comments. We look at her for a moment in shock before we
laugh. “I like her Darien, I’m glad she’s your mate.”
He smiles in pride, preening a little.
“I’m glad she’s my mate as well.” Serenity giggles, her brothers are both smiling. I look at them “How
do you two feel about them being together.” I ask “As long as he does and acts as a mate should we
have no problem.” said Kian. “We just want her happy and loved.” was Galen’s reply.
We hear Darien’s name hollered. We see his mom and dad, our Alpha and Luna. Serenity grabs onto
Darien’s arm and looks up at him, scared. “Do you think they’ll like me?” her voice small, worried.
“Don’t worry, they’ll love you.” he kisses her forehead. “You sure?” he smiles lovingly at her. “I promise.”
She smiles, her eyes soft with emotion. “Ok.”
We get to Alpha Andrew and Luna Ember. I’m surprised at first when the Alpha grabs me into a hug.
“You did amazing today, I’m so proud of you
Alora.” he says. I hug him back after a moment, so grateful for the affection. My “Thank you.” was for
more than the words. He lets me go and Luna Ember is there to offer me her own hug. She hugs me
like I’m one of her children.
It felt so good to be hugged like this. It completely breaks down my defenses. She lets me go still
holding my upper arms she looks at me. “You did so well today.” She praises. Smiling she looks me up
and down before putting a hand on my cheek. “You’ve grown up so much, you’ve become a wonderful
she-wolf before my eyes.” I can’t help thinking this was how my mother should have been treating me.
I sniff, my heart full of emotion at their kindness and affection, at the same time I’m sad because I
should have had this all along from my
parents. “Thank you, I can’t tell you how much it means to me.” she pets my head. “We’ll be here for
you sweetie. And we will support you.” sniffing I look at Darien. “Have you met Serenity.” I ask them.D
Darien brings Serenity and Ember grabs her up. “Oh! look at how darling you are, my goodness look at
all that beautiful red hair. My girl I saw you put Matthew in his place during your match and I must say it
was a wonderful sight.” this sends Serenity blushing her mumbled “thank you” barley audible. 3)
The Alpha chuckles, he takes one of Serenity’s hands. “It’s lovely to meet you Serenity, you let me
know if my son ever treats you wrong and Ill teach him a lesson in how to treat your mate.” Serenity is
red from head to toe but she’s smiling.
Darien leans down to whisper loudly “See, I told you they would love you.” his smile mischievous and
bright. His mother smacks him in the shoulder. “Behave young man.” This made everyone laugh. Galen
and Kian are waiving to a couple. When they join us I see that it’s their parents. As the parents make
their way over I look around a moment.
Across the field I see Matthew with his parents. I don’t see Sarah anywhere. She must be in the office
with mommy and daddy dearest. Kian nudges me to get my attention, I look up at him, he’s motioning
to his parents. It’s Galen who introduces me, “Mom this is Alora, she’s best friends with Darien and our
and Serenity’s new friend.”
His mother Camille was once a Blackfire before mating into the Mountainmovers. When a she wolf
mates she usually takes her mates last name, and parts of her maiden name make it into her pups
middle names. So Galen, Kian and Serenity’s names were followed by Fire Mountainmover.
“We saw your fight against our nephew, and Darien, I must say you were magnificent my dear.” she
says. Her mate Alfred Stone Mountainmover is a sweet looking older wolf, his kind heart radiated from
him, just like Serenity, now I knew where she got it. “You did very well, you are most definitely an Alpha
she-wolf.” this made me smile and
blush.
“Thank you.” this seemed to be the only words I’ve been able to say since arriving over here with
everyone. My phone rings, I look down, it’s my parents. All the good I had been feeling, the glow of
warmth, was gone
in an instant. I felt saddened and cold at the loss, it was gone as quickly as it had come.
I look up at Darien, he’d seen the caller description, it was the Luna who spoke. “Go ahead and answer
it my dear, we’re right her with you.” she wraps an arm around me in support. “Put it on speaker Alora,
we need to hear what it is they say.” said Andrew, as he’s the Alpha I obey the order.2
I see out of the corner of my eye Darien explain to Serenity’s parents who is calling, they look
confusedly at the apprehension on all our faces. They don’t understand why this call from my parents
would have even the Alpha and Luna apprehensive. It’s only after I put them on speaker that their look
changes to understanding, then at each word shrieked at me, turns to outrage and anger. Anger at
how a parent could say what she said
to me.
“WHERE ARE YOU WRETCH!!! YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO HUMILIATE US AND CHANGE YOUR
NAME!!! HOW DARE YOU ADVANCE TO THE ALPHA CLASS WITHOUT YOUR SISTER!!! YOU
STUPID WRETCH!!! YOU WILL PAY FOR ALL OF IT!!! YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR NAME BACK
BEFORE YOUR FINAL MATCH AND RESTORE OUR STATUS!!! IF YOU DONT YOU WILL REGRET
IT!!! YOU CAN FORGET GRADUATING!!! YOU WILL BE CHAINED UP IN THE BASEMENT AND
WHIPPED FOR OUR HUMILIATION YOU WETCH!!! DO YOU HERE ME!!! ANSWER ME YOU
UNGRATFUL WRETCH!!! I SHOULD HAVE DROWNED YOU AT BIRTH!!! YOU’VE BEEN NOTHING
BUT AN UGLY BLIGHT ON THIS FAMILYS REPUTATION SINCE I BIRTHED YOU!!! YOU SHOULD
NEVER HAVE
3-26
EXSITED!!!”
The Alpha reached over and disconnected the call. I was just standing there, feeling cold and crushed.
The happiness I felt a moment ago like a distant memory. I don’t make a sound, I look up at the Alpha. I
hadn’t realized the wetness I was feeling on my face were tears until he grabs me up in a hug. 5)
“It’s ok to cry Alora. But don’t worry, your not ever going back to those people. We’re moving you into
the Pack House tonight. We’ll be going with you to pick up your things so they can’t hurt you anymore.”
That was all it took to have me sobbing silently. My body shaking me, the Luna puts her hand on my
head and pets my hair and gently rubs my back. “Oh, darling girl…It’s going to be okay.” 3
I hear her whisper to Darien. “Go explain everything to Serenity and her parents while we take care of
Alora.” I hear him move away from us. “You’ve been abused by those people enough.” Luna Ember’s
voice is soft but angry. “I won’t stand for it any longer, we’re taking you home with us, we’ll be your
family.” I look up at her in surprise, afraid to hope.
I must have heard her wrong. “W..wha..what?” my question stutters out. “You heard right dearie, we’re
taking you home and we’ll be your family from now on.” she touches my face wiping my tears, she
hands me a tissue from her purse so I can blow my nose. “Would you be ok with being part of our
family?” she asks.
I didn’t even need to think about it. “Yes.” They had been kind to me since the day Damien found me on
the
4-65.pdf
being part of our family?” she asks.
I didn’t even need to think about it. “Yes.” They had been kind to me since the day Damien found me on
the river embankment all those years ago. The memory of how wonderful they’d been, had never left
me. 12
