The Abused Luna

chapter 55d

Night howlers pack:

Aurora pov:

Even though I was reluctant to talk about my past life, I also know very well that truth, honesty, and trust was very important in any sort of relationship.

Whether it was a relationship, in between friends, or in between lovers.

And so, I chose to be honest, and decided to tell the truth about what I had experienced in the past, as I saw the sincerity, and trust Casey have on me, when she said, that nothing I am going to say can change her love, and opinion she have on me. And I believe every word that she had said.

With the warmth coming from Casey’s hands, I took the courage to speak the truth.

She knowingly squeezed my hands silently, telling with her gesture that she was with me, in this situation of mine.

I closed my eyes, and all that had happened in my life from that dreadful day, on the day which I lost my mother, and every thing, and everyone I held dear to me, till the day my ex mate rejected me, flashed in front of my eyes, scene by scene, like a movie was being played in the television.

When I opened my mouth to say the first words, I felt like something heavy was struck in my throat, making me to unable to say a single word.

The words I wanted to say got struck in my throat itself, making it difficult for me to say them out loud.

I thought of the moon goddess, and said a silent prayer, wishing that I had made a right decision, and that nothing changes in my life, due to the words I was about to say.

I gulped down heavily, and Then I began to speak.

“I am not a rogue wolf from the very beginning like you guys were thinking, Casey. I lived in a pack. With my family. I was a pack wolf.

But my family was not like other family. Instead of being the moral support, and giving love to me, they hated me”, I said, and when Casey heard that, she widened her eyes in shock. I knew why though.

She thought that I was a rogue wolf from the very beginning. She thought that I was one of the rogue wolf from that infamous rogue wolf group camp.

Well, everyone thought like that. They all thought, that I ran away from the rogue wolf camp, because of being treated terribly in that rogue wolf camp. They never thought that I belonged to a pack before.

Then I continued further, while she just squeezed, and gripped my hands with a little bit of more strength. Taking a deep breath, I continued again.

“And your guess was right about the scars in my body, which you are dying to know, from the day you know about it from the chief doctor.

I know very well, once I got my consciousness in the hospital, that the doctors there must have done a full body check up on me, and they would have found out about the bruises, and scars on my body.

And to confirm my doubts, you too behaved a little oddly, and treated me very carefully, like I was made out of a glass material, and you often stared at my skin, that was hidden under my hospital gown “, I said making her to sigh in defeat.

“then????. What happened then? “, Casey questioned me anxiously.

“I was abused in my previous pack, Casey. both physically, and emotionally. And it was for a very long time too, that certain things would never even make me to frown in pain, even when I was hurt. It was like my body got used to it”, I said thinking about all the taunts, harsh words, accidental pushes, slaps, and punches, and all sort of things, that I was made to endure in that hell of a place, I call my old pack.

“The members in my old pack hated me, and never left a single chance to slip past their hands, when it came to the topic of hurting me.

I was treated like a slave in that pack. Treated even worse than an omega wolf. That was how I got all those scars, and fading bruises from. I had to do all sorts of works in the pack house, from cooking for everyone to cleaning the entire pack house to taking care of the laundry for everyone. I was not even allowed to eat, when I was hungry”, I said.

“oh…my dear sweet moon goddess. What a cruel people they were?. How could they deny food, and let a fellow pack member to stay starved, when they were eating their foods to their stomach's fill, more importantly, which was prepared by her on an empty stomach!!?…. Cruel people…. They do not have f*****g hearts at all”, Casey expressed in an aggravated tone, and her eyes were already tearing up.

“What about your family??. Didn’t they try to stop those people, who wanted to hurt you??”, Casey asked both in a curious yet in a distressed voice.

‘’Family???’.... Like they had tried to stop. I snorted internally.

I thought back to the times where my family just stood there , folding their hands leisurely, and witnessing what I was going through, or they would have been a part of the tormentor group, who were dead serious on torturing me in all senses….my mind, soul, and body.

I thought how my dad ordered every pack member in the violet moon pack to treat me badly.

The times, when my elder sister Andrea taunted, and hurt me, using both her words, and actions.

The times, when my elder brother Sebastian just stood there watching others beating, and tormenting me silently, without even uttering a single word of objection, on how they treated me'.

All these thoughts flashed in front of my mind, making my heart to hurt like hell.

All of a sudden, I felt the warmth from a hand, that was caressing my cheek.

I came out of the world of my own thoughts, and looked up, only to realize that Casey was wiping the tears, that was flowing down my face.

She looked at me both sympathetically, and reassuringly, and gave me one of her warmest smile.

“it was okay, sweet heart. I am here”, she said in her usual comforting tone. I nodded at her like a little kid, and continued to tell her about my past life.

It was really difficult for me to say the next words, as even thinking about my so called family, made me to be more sad than anything else.

“My family members… . They….they were also a part of the group of tormentors, who used to abused me, and dead set on making my life a living hell. They never cared for me. They hated me, and abused me with the other pack members, instead of protecting, and supporting me like a real family should have done”, I finally said all those words, that I really wanted to say out aloud.

Casey gasped in utter shock, and her grip on my hand increased more. Once I finished saying all those words, I started crying my heart out, and unlike any other times, where I was always alone while crying, this time, there was a pair of arms that held me dearly to them. There was a person with me, who lent their shoulders for me to cry.

Casey hugged me close to her, and patted my back in a comforting manner, and allowed me to cry in her embrace.

She did not say a word out aloud, but the warmth that came from her embrace, and the hand that was slowly patting, and ran behind my back in an up, and down fashion, in a soothing manner, gave a great comfort to me..

And like a person who was dying out of thirst, who was left alone in the middle of the desert, was offered a bottle of water to drink, I held on to Casey tightly like a little child hiding in the embrace of her mother, and poured out all my grievances in the form of my tears.

But in truth, saying things out loud, about how I really felt, really made my heart to feel light. I had never openly blamed, and complained about my family before, for not loving me, and instead, tormenting me.

But today, when I said all those to Casey, about how I really felt, I felt like something that was heavily pressing on my chest was lifted. And truth to be told, I felt much better.

“ I thought at first that, everything would change for better one day.

That I should endure a little more, so that there will come a day, when I will receive the love, and support of my family, which I was hoping to get all along.

But it never happened even after all these years of waiting.

They only hurt me more, and more as time went by. And I can not take it anymore. That was why I ran away from my old pack.

Being a rogue wolf seemed much more better than staying in my old pack “, I finally said to Casey, while she ran her hand on my back in a comforting manner.

After a long period of time, when I felt like I had cried enough, I wiped my tears away, and sniffled lowly.

But I did not want to come out of the warm embrace of Casey, so I just hugged her, and sniffled lowly.

She too must have seen through the thoughts that ran through my mind, as she did not say anything to me, and only held me close to her, and patted my back lovingly, like a mother would do to her crying child.

“Okay, sweet heart. Now, enough of your crying. Stop it this instant”, saying this, Casey made me to look at her.

When I took a closer look at her, I saw that even her pair of eyes were filled with a layer of tears.
