Alpha's Aura

I shrieked as the whip found my bare skin once again. I could feel the blood as it ran down my body before pooling on the floor. My life hadn’t always been this way. I started out with a normal life in a normal family. I was, dare I say, happy? I thought I would lead a normal life, find my may mate, have pups, and live happily ever after. Little did I know, the universe had other plans for me. My mother died when I was 10. She was the only one who kept my Dad in check. They were mates. When my Mom passed, My Dad’s true colors were revealed. My Dad was a drunk. He gambled a lot and did all kinds of illegal things. I hated him. My stepmother, if you can even call her that, was as awful as they come. She hated me. I would have to clean all the time. When I wasn’t cleaning, I had to wait in my tiny room under the stairs. I slept there, ate there, and when there was a game on or company, I had to stay in there being as quiet as I could. When I turned fifteen, my stepmother decided to take

One day, the first guard who stole my virginity came in with a stick thing. He told me I had to pee on it. I shook my head no. He grabbed me by the hair, “I didn’t ask. If you want me to hurt you, keep arguing.” I sat down on the toilet. He held the stick between my legs as I peed. He put the cover over the end. I sat there trying to figure out what he was waiting for. Finally, he picked up the stick. “Damn it,” he roared. “You dirty whore, you got pregnant on purpose, didn’t you?” Pregnant? I’m pregnant? I was excited, I could have my pup, and finally, someone will love me. A couple of days later, A few guards came into my cell. I thought they were going to have their way with me. I didn’t care anymore. I would have my baby. I didn’t know what they were about to do. I got hit from behind with something. I fell to the ground. I covered my stomach with my arms. I will protect you, baby. One of the guards grabbed my arms pulling them above my head. The other guards started kicking m

She decided that was enough. She put my hand back in my lap. She stood there watching me. She picked up my hand again; She interlaced her fingers with mine; I let her hold my hand. She sat like this for a few minutes. When she let go, I watched as she pulled the blanket off the bed. She took a pillow and dropped it on the blanket. She made what looked like a little nest. She picked up my hand and pulled on it. “You want me to get up?” She nodded yes. I stood up. I didn’t want to move unless she wanted me to. She pulled me toward the bed. I was confused as to what she was doing. She pushed me towards the bed again, and when my legs hit the mattress, she turned me to face her. I looked at her trying to figure out what she was thinking. Without warning, she pushed me back onto the bed. “Whoa!” Shit, I looked at her; she was frozen in place. I had scared her. “I’m sorry, you scared me.” She giggled. It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. I stayed sitting on the edge of the

She took my hand giving it a tug. I followed her. We walked for about an hour. We came upon a road I recognized. It was one that led to my packhouse. She stopped by a drainage ditch. I looked across, noticing the grocery store my pack owned. This particular store had started losing a case or two of canned goods every so often. I had assumed they had simply been miscounted.She crossed the street heading for the grocery store. I followed her in. The cashier tried to greet me but, I shook my head no. He went back to watching Aura. She reached in the pocket of the dirty tattered shorts she had on. To my surprise, she pulled out two twenty-dollar bills. She stuck them in the hand of the confused cashier.“Miss, would you like to buy something?”She shook her head no. He tried to hand the money back to her. She closed his fingers over the money before pushing his hand back.The cashier looked at me questioningly. It clicked what she was doing, I couldn’t help the chuckle which escaped me.

Delmor arrived after Jed left. "Delmor, I need you to take notes on what is said here today. I need to be sure I have all the information needed before I start ordering death for those involved in hurting Aura." Aura woke up when I said her name. She came to me, climbing on my lap, I could feel her trembling. At least she was comfortable enough with me to seek me out if she was scared. When I smiled at her, she started wrapping herself around me. We waited, I was growing impatient when there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" I growled. I hated to be kept waiting. The door opened as the infamous Gretta stepped into my office.I felt Aura’s heartbeat pick up when she laid eyes on Gretta, but she didn’t tremble.Gretta looked nervous. “Please, have a seat.” I offered. Aura was still curled up in my lap. Delmor sat to the right, and Gretta to the left.“You are Gretta?” I already knew the answer.“Yes. Alpha.” She kept looking at Aura who was currently hiding her face in my neck.I as
