The pounding in Alora’s head finally subsided. “Selena? You still with me?” She asked worried, scared she would not be able to communicate with her Sprite.
“I am here with you and Xena. I am no longer alone in our space, Xena is by me now.” Selena
said soothingly, her voice calm and happy.
“You’re a Hybrid?” Darien asked almost dazedly, then snapped “You have a Sprite?!”
“Yes.” Alora nodded.
The rest of those in the room just watched the interaction between Darien and Alora.
They were finding it amusing, and Werewolves and Supernaturals of all kinds loved to be entertained.
“I want to see.” Darien said excitedly, and Serenity nodded rapidly at his side, just as excited.
“Let me see if Selena is willing to show herself.” Alora told Darien, then she closed her eyes. “Selena? Are you okay with coming out?” Alora asked her.
Selena was quiet for a moment. “I can, but their reaction may not be what you expect.” she warned, her tone serious.
Alora frowned, “What do you mean?” she asked
Selena sighed “It is easier for you to experience it than for me to explain. I will come out.”
“Okay, I’m ready when you are.” Alora told her.
Then Alora felt the shift, she went from being up front, to being a spectator from their space with Xena. They were sitting on the shore of their pond, and their pond was a window outside their space. Like they were seeing what was happening around them from above.
After Alora transformed into Selena, Brogden let out a growl of protest. Horrified at what he was seeing on an otherwise beautiful
Sprite. “The extreme abuse a youngling of your Pack has suffered, Alpha, is very evident with all the scarring this Sprite wears on her skin!”
Selena flinched in the face of such a reaction to her presence. She knew she should expect at least one to know what the silver marks on her skin were. Selena looked down at her arms and winced before crossing them over her waist. Closing her eyes, she hugged herself.
“Stop!” Alora told her, and Selena’s eyes popped open with surprise. *”You are beautiful and there is no reason for you to be ashamed of the marks on your skin. We never asked for the abuse that caused them.” re her years of pain and abuse to the public.”*
Alora’s firm voice kept Selena from crumpling in on herself and running back into their space. Lifting her head, she met Darien’s serious gaze. Selena was an inch taller than Alora’s height, it was not much of a difference.
“You are absolutely gorgeous Selena. Remember, he is our brother and his mate our sister.”
Xena told her.
“Brother?” Selena asked aloud in her musical voice, then her gaze shifted to Serenity. “Sister?” Selena’s voice was hesitant as she spoke.
Selena knew this male and female called Alora and Xena sister, but would they also call her sister? Selena was scared that they would reject her.
Serenity saw the scared look in Selena’s eyes and just wanted to hug her and make it go. away. This part of Alora and Xena had obviously gone through a lot of suffering along with them. Serenity gave in to her urge and hugged Selena.
Selena froze at first, startled by the sudden contact. The hugs and touch she had received. from Alora and Xena in their space was the first physical contact she ever had in this lifetime. The hug was so warm though, that soon Selena found herself relaxing into it.
Darien watched as his mate hugged this new part of Alora and Xena. When tears started to form in Selena’s eyes, he had to hug her too. Feeling Darien hug her too had Selena. sobbing again. After being alone and locked away for so long, it made her highly emotional to be free, and to feel contact.
Ember tucked herself into Andrew’s side and fought back her own tears. “Andrew?”
“I know Ember…I know.” Andrew said hoarsely, hugging her tightly. “I will no longer allow the Werewolf’s Council to get away with the damage they have been causing any longer. I am currently in the process of finding those who need to be removed from the Council.”
“Like that poor excuse of a wolf that just walked out of here?” Brogden asked.
Andrew looked at him with a dark expression on his face. “Especially that one. Rankin Northmountain is the Werewolf Council member who was in my office the day Alora came to tell me of her abuse. That day he was telling me that in the case of abuse,
the child would be relocated to the home of one of her parents’, Clan Alphas. He told me that even though I was Alpha of Alphas and the Alpha of this Pack, I would not be allowed to adopt her as I was not her next of kin. His excuse was it was modern times and we needed to adopt more human laws, and this was one of them.”
Brogden blinked at Alpha Andrew for a moment and came to realize something. “That was your revenge just now, forcing him to assist in transferring Brodie’s titles and positions to her.”
Alpha Andrew laughed darkly. “This is just the start.”
Brogden looked at him with a curious expression. “What do you mean?”
