My mate shakes my arm. “Honey look at our son’s picture, isn’t he just darling.” She coos smiling.
My mate didn’t believe in hiding her affection. It’s why hiding how much she really cared about Alora was difficult for her, but she did it with grace. In return, she seemed to be extra loving to her family during those times. I think it was how she coped with all the horrible things done to the girl. Some we can only guess based on reports given. We can only tell because of the smell of blood, or the way she favors certain limbs, or carry herself a certain way. She
didn’t really speak too much about what it was they put her through.
My oldest is extraordinarily protective of her and has been since he found her during that pack picnic covered in mud, blood, cuts, and bruises. We rushed the poor child back to the Pack House. My mate ran the Pack clinic being a Pack Doctor, she was one of the top surgeons there. She had been home that day
and took over her care when we got there.
I had never seen my wife so furious. She raged for hours about the mistreatment of the girl and the condition she was found in. My wife said she was not to be moved for at least a week. It was all the reprieve we could give her. But in that week, that gorgeous little pup found her way into our hearts. Darien
thinks of her as a sister and his best friend.
My phone dings, it’s another message from Damien. Dad, I think we should plan to move Alora in early. I have a bad feeling about leaving her with those people any longer. I read my son’s text then I look for the people he’s talking about.
The looks of fury on both of their faces as they glared at the program list, it looked like they found Alora’s name and rank. Before I can reply to Damien my wife shakes my arm pointing at the Arena and the two fighters.
“That’s Serenity, Darien’s Mate.” she points out and then points at the other opponent ” And that’s Matt.”
“Well, indeed it is.” I look at Boris “How do you think this I going to go?**
He cringes “I think this is going to go badly for my son, that little she–wolf looks really angry.”
Looking down, I see that the girl is indeed angry. “I have a feeling she has taken a liking to Alora.”
“I believe you are right, and Mountainmovers tend to be protective of those they like.” his tone grim But if what you have told me is true, then Alora deserves protection. I’ve heard Sarah talk about her before. It was all bile and venom. One of the reasons my mate and I have never liked her. She is constantly putting down her fellow wolves and bragging about herself.” Says Boris.
‘She’s extremely arrogant, just like her parents. That Alora had the misfortune of being born into that family had been breaking my family’s hearts since we first met her.” I tell Boris.
‘How did you meet her?” he asks with a genuine interest in his tone.
‘Remember that pup my son and I found half drowned by the river during that pack picnic about 9 almost 10 years back now?” I ask him.
It was Lissanna who gasped in horror. “You don’t mean…Alora is that poor little abused pup is she…?” I nod in confirmation, she looks up at Boris with anguish. “Oh Boris…does he even not know or remember? That poor girl.” She looks down, and when she looks up again it’s with the angry determination of a momma she–wolf whose pup is about to be disciplined. I’ve seen it on my mate’s face when our boys would get out of line. “That boy will be taught a lesson when he gets home.” she growls angrily, “If that little she–wolf down there doesn’t first.” Boris says.
We all look down at the match. Matt already looks like he’s been hit with a boulder as Serenity runs straight at him, he goes to grab her but she slides down feet first between his legs, once behind him she does a quick turn and jumps up Matt turns around, he looks up as she brings her fist down in a vicious punch that caves in the left side of his face.

Blood spraying he’s spun around and down to the platform and rolled a few times before coming to a stop on his back, it’s obvious he will not be getting back up soon. I look back to see Serenity had landed with her feet shoulder–width apart, arms down, hands in fists, glaring at Matt. She was declared the
winner.
