Galen’s POV con’d
I look into her eyes, I see a wariness and resignation in those violet eyes. Like she’s already knew what we were going to ask her, and was resolved to answer, but didn’t expect us to believe her. For some reason that made me sad, she seemed so lonely, but if Darien had been her boyfriend…..why had she been so happy to see him with another she-wolf.
This wasn’t adding up with the rumors about her. I have a feeling things were finally coming to light about this she-wolf today, at least to us. There was an air about her, one that I hadn’t noticed before, like she was someone I should respect, if she were to give an order, it should be obeyed. Finally I just asked, now hoping not to hurt this she-wolf.
“The rumors said that the two of you were dating. However, based on what we just saw, I’m really doubting that’s true now. There are a lot of rumors about you, none of them good.” I pause a moment, she’s standing there with a patient look on her face.
So I continue with my query. “But I’ve personally witnessed She-Bitch Sarah and her posse spewing some of those rumors, I’ve also seen you turn down many a male, one more harshly than others when he got handsy, so those two situations combined, make me believe some, if not all, the rumors are bull shit.” I finish and wait.
There was a rumor I didn’t want to ask about. If the others were lies, then the one about the abuse her family meted out on her was most likely true. But how did you ask a she-wolf if her family abused her. I couldn’t bring myself to, I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like the answer.
She looks at me for a few moments before speaking. “Almost all of the rumors are, as you say, bullshit. Darien is my best friend, we never dated, we’ve never been intimate, as for some of the others. I’m still virgin, and my sister has made sure that the only friend I have in school is Darien.” she never once raised her voice.
The entire thing had been said in a calm patient voice. Then she goes on and says “But maybe now that your sister has both of you and Darien for protection, I might finally be able have another friend.”
Alora’s comment makes me still a moment and look at Kian, we mind link each other. As siblings are able to do so, even when not phased to our wolf forms, all other wolves in the pack, with the exception of the Alpha, Luna and Beta, had to be phased to wolf in ordered to mind link, unless you were directly related to each other.
I think it was a way for a mother to find her pups should they wander to far. Which my brother and I had done, a lot, till our mother made us responsible for our baby sister, because we were only a little over six months apart. Werewolves have shorter pregnancies than humans, and healed almost immediately after giving birth. Few births were difficult, and rarely was there a death.
Kian, she said protection, do you think she meant from her sister? I ask, I could hear my tension in my voice.
I’m aware, and it makes me think back a bit… he paused a moment before continuing. You remember when Kelly had all her hair burned of and was poisoned with that wolves bane tablet?
Yeah I remember that, why? trepidation starts to fill me, I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like this.
Well, I was there when she told Sarah to stop ragging on her sister, she had been doing it for half the class, and wouldn’t shut up. The next day Kelly came to school after being mutilated like that. His tone solemn.
It was Sarah and her cronies, it had to be I can’t help but feel sorry for both Alora and Kelly. If Sarah was willing to do that to someone, and could get away with it, then no wonder Alora didn’t have any friends besides Darien. If Sarah were to fuck with him, it would be the last thing she would do, him being a son of the Alpha.
I think it’s time this she wolf had a few more friends I say to Kian.
Yeah I think it is, we can take care of ourselves against that she-bitch, and now she won’t dare touch our sister, with her being the mate to an Alpha’s son. He said the last in a wry slightly amused tone.
Darien would rip her to pieces if our sister didn’t first. Amused at the thought of my sister tearing Sarah to pieces I chuckle.
Alora’s POV
I waited for them to finish their silent discussion. I didn’t get a sense of malice or disbelief from them. They seemed to understand and believe me. I was hesitant to hope for something good to come out of this talk, but I was getting a sense that this was fate, that the Goddess brought these two wolves to me while bringing their sister to Darien.

I'm really enjoying the story but the overuse of "my mate" starts to get old. Also, I understand that it isn't a final edited copy but lot of grammatical and spelling errors that I'm coming across on all the chapters. Is there someone editing this? Is there a way to remove the update references?...
