Chapter 67
Master Brock’s POV con’d
She could very easily defeat him, and he knew it, but they were having fun, neither trying to really
defeat the other, they were just happy to have an opponent like them. They were both the same type of
Hybrid. The joy I could feel radiate off the battle field was amazing, the smiles on their faces bright.
They were each enduring a test of stamina, her, in holding back, him, at keeping up.
They made a magical sight, both had their hair unbound. Their hair, one a midnight black with stars, the
other all white, seamed to be alive, moving in either a shadow or light vapor. Selena’s Lunar Princess
regalia in place and visible.
Serenity’s POV
Watching my mate break the counter with his fists this morning while feeling his emotional turmoil
through our bond, had been heart wrenching. After this mornings debacle, Darien had held on to my
hand and had Matt follow us, we had gone back to our room. Once there he had Matt sit, Matt did, I
stood by one of the book shelves, watching. My mate paced around for a bit. 2
Finally he spoke “How long ago did Sarah give you that sachet?” he asked him.
“Remember that fight we had, how I said I couldn’t be your friend and Beta if you were friends with
Alora?” Matt asked him
Darien nods and said “Yeah, why?”
“It was about a month before that. I had been wanting to break up with Sarah, I hadn’t liked how she
treated Alora.” Darien looks at him in surprise, Matt nods then continued “She was complaining how
you all were fooled by Alora, that she was just a mistake her mother wasn’t able to abort, despite
trying.”
That struck me with horror, that horribly evil bitch tried to kill Alora from the moment she was
conceived.
“She gave me the herbs as a gift saying they would ward of evil.” Matt scoffed “Ward of evil my ass, it
invited evil.” He said with a growl.
“So this whole time, it’s been Sarah, that’s why it didn’t make sense.” Says Darien
They talk a little while longer, looking at the past, then putting it away. They were rebuilding their
connection as Alpha and Beta. That bitch had hurt my mate, I didn’t feel smashing her face in once was
enough of a punishment. The lives she had destroyed. There were three others who needed their lives
rebuilt as well.
“Matt.” I startled him when I called out his name, he looked at me surprised, I smiled gently. “Can you Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
call the girls and get them over here now?” I ask him he looks confused, so I explained “I think they
need to tell Alora their stories, each of those girls has been a prisoner of Sarah’s for years.”
My mate is nodding “Alora will want to know.” He says “I don’t exactly know what she’ll do, but she
won’t be cruel or heartless.”
Matt nods then he sends out a mass text to all three, telling them to come to the Pack house. None of
them were that far away from here, so it was only thirty minutes later when we were all gathered, in the
main common area of the Alpha wing. Matt is talking to the girls, telling them what I had said and that
Darien had agreed. The girls agreed to. They looked very different than before, each a beauty without
all the gaudy clothes, jewelry and make up.
We all head down to the training arena, because that’s where Alora, Jaxon her new Gamma and my
brothers were. The sight we’re met with is pure magic, like something out of a Japanese fantasy movie.
The jumping, the flips, turns, sweep, and the clash and sparks of the swords. A beautiful, deadly,
magical dance of grace and power. I was confused as to who Selena’s opponent was, before I saw that
the only one missing in the line up, was Victor.2
That must be Victors Sprite form. From the smiles on Selena and Victor’s Sprites faces, they were
having fun. I went up to Jaxon, he was staring transfixed, so I nudge him. He looks down at me,
surprised I was there, confusion on his face a question in his eyes. “What’s the name of Victors
Sprite?” I ask him.
“Nicholas.” He said “Why are you here?” he asks. He looks up and sees the others are there. The she
wolves had looks of awe on their faces, totally entranced by the fight. Darien was talking to Master
Brock, probably telling him why we were here. I turn back to the battle and tell him about everything. He
listens as we watch the fight. They’re just playing, I suddenly realize, not just training.
I’d never thought of training as playing, but that’s what they were doing. Selena and Nicholas look so
happy. “He’s really happy she’s accepted him, he’s enjoying himself greatly.” Jaxon tells me.
Confused “Why would he worry about Alora accepting him?” I ask.
“Sarah and her parents.” He says, which really is all that’s needed. Those people needed to be put
down like the rabid dogs they were.
Alora’s POV
It was the whistle that got my attention. Masters distinctive call to halt Selena also knowing this signal
from years of being an inside witness, jumped back away from her opponent, landing in a relaxed
standing position. Feet apart swords out, we look at Master, he signals to sheath the swords. Selena
does so, then fades back, while I come forward.
Out of the corner of my e ye I’ve seen Nicholas has done the same, as Victor is now standing next to
me. I notice the others now in the training arena. Matt and Sarah’s three former friends, Darien and
Serenity are now there. They are all staring at us, each wearing a different version of amazement on
their faces. I guess we did put on a show.
I look at Darien, he walks forward now that he has my attention. I know he’s got something to tell me
that he thinks I’m not going to like. But Darien is my best friend, I’ll always at least listen to him, and
support him, even when I don’t always agree, then I get vocal, but I still help. The only other one, who
was there for me like this, was Damien.
I was in the sixth grade when I was being bussed from the middle school to the high school, five of my
classes being at the high school, only two in middle school. During those three years, I shared a lot of
classes with Damien. He would always look out for me, the big protective Alpha wolf protected me,
making sure I was safe there.
That safe feeling vanished the day he graduated, worse, he was going away for five years. But with
Darien’s friendship and the training I got from Master Brock, I rebuilt it. At school…at work…at the
Lab…I had been safe. It was only in those peoples house, where the never ending nightmares had
been. Damien’s the one who had taken me to Master Brock. 2
Already having approval from the Alpha, Damien had picked me up the day after his graduation, and
taken me to the training arena. There he had introduced me to Master Brock. At the time of the meeting
my world was crumbling and I was losing my will to keep going. Damien was leaving, and it would be
five years, was all I could focus on at the moment, plus Allister had just tried to rape me not long before
that.
Master Brock had stared down at the scared broken pup that I was, and had immediately agreed to
train me. Under his tutelage I grew in strength, and I discovered a fierce will to live. I’m so grateful for
what Damien had done for me. I missed him so much my heart ached. He was coming home soon,
maybe tonight. Goddess I hoped it was tonight. Would he be proud of the person I’ve become?
Darien stood in front of me, making me refocus on the here and now. I look up into his eyes, I smile an
raise and eyebrow in question. I don’t know if it was that he was nervous, or if my face was really that
funny, but he laughed a moment before finally speaking. “I had a long talk with Matt, and I’ve taken him
back as my Beta.” His look nervous.
I smile though, Matt’s change in his attitude, and his reasons for his fight with Darien, never made
sense. “That’s great, I knew it always bothered you.”
He looks confused for a moment, then decides not to question it, instead “So Serenity had this idea,
and I agreed with it.” He says.
“Okay, and what idea is it?” I ask after a moment of silence.
“I think you should hear their stories.” He says
I’d already planed to, I’m glad he agreed. “I was going too, it’s why I told Matt to have them meet with
me today.” I told him still smiling 2
He seems surprised and relieved at the same time “I was worried how you would take this, after
everything that’s happened.” He said
I tell him the truth “Being controlled by a spell for years of their lives, make them as much her victims,
as I was.” My voice solemn.
