The Abused Luna

Chapter 48

Casey Pov:

I am currently in the Alpha office with all the other guys, while we left Zara to be with Aurora for her company.

Even though Zion saved, and brought Aurora to our pack for some unknown reason, which for the moon goddess sake, only he knows, he still needed some extra reassurance that his decision of bringing Aurora to our pack, and letting her stay here for the time being was a good decision on his part. As we were still unaware of who she was, and where did she come from.

Even though we will not question Zion, and normally other rank members can not question the decisions made by the Alpha of the pack generally in other packs, Zion was not like that.

He would always make the right decisions, and he would mostly discuss his decisions with all of us, and generally take our opinions into consideration.

That was one of the many qualities that make him the most powerful Alpha in this entire region, who have earned the respect of his pack members by his character, and by his actions, instead of, not just because of his title as an ‘Alpha’.

Zion wanted to know about our points of view on making Aurora staying in our pack, and in our private pack house, which only we have used till now.

But I could tell that the guys, and even Zion have a slight hesitation in allowing Aurora to stay with us in our pack.

And I won’t blame Zion for his slight hesitation, as we do not know anything about Aurora, except for her name. We did not even know her real age for that matter.

And I could tell in 100 per cent guarantee that we would not be able to know anything about Aurora, other than her name, from her mouth, in any time soon too.

As she was still a little afraid, and wary of us, and have her doubts on our intentions of letting her to stay with us.

And truth to be told, I could understand her mentality, and I will not blame her for that though.

I could tell that Aurora must have suffered a lot from all of her actions from my observation on her.

And from all those quick reflexes, and defensive stance of hers , I could tell by sure, that she must have had a very hard life in her past.

“so… .. What are your thoughts about Aurora, Casey?. Did she tell to you about anything else, regarding her other than her name? “, Kevin asked making me to come out of my own little monologue mode.

“Nothing, Kevin. She is so scared to even speak loudly to me”, I said, and sighed heavily.

“yeah… I noticed that about her too. Even in the dinning room today, she spoke so softly, as if she was afraid that she would be punished for speaking louder”, Zander added, and looked as if he was in a deep thought.

“yeah. She spoke, or more like mumbled to herself. If we were not werewolves with high hearing capacity for the moon goddess sake, then we won’t be able to hear her voice at all”, Kevin said his thoughts out loud.

“And guys… . Have you guys took notice of the taste of the foods she had made today for the breakfast? ? “, Clint said getting a slap to the back of his head from Kevin, who was sitting beside him in the couch.

“Stop with your love for food, you food monster”, Kevin berated Clint, earning a glare from the latter one.

“shut your useless mouth for once, and getting ahead of yourself, and carefully hear what I am about to say further”, Clint retorted unhappily, while rubbing the back of his head.

“Whatever”, Kevin said in a mocking way.

“guys…. .. . Stop your bickering, and Get to the current topic”, Zion said, making those two duffers to cut their meaningless nonsense.

“well. I forgot. What was I about to say, before I was rudely interrupted by this jerk??....”, Clint asked to no one in particular.

Zander, and I shared a bored look, and answered to him at the same time.

“delicious foods which are made by Aurora in the morning “, we both deadpanned in a chorused tone.

“Huh… . Yeah… . Delicious foods. Have you guys took notice of that. About how delicious those attractive looking foods were, and above all of that, her cooking skills, and the techniques she showed in her pastry skills were top notch in both taste, and looks”, Clint said dreamily, making me to have an urge to kick him real hard.

“What are you trying to say here, Clint ? “, I asked him, a little annoyed.

**’can’t this mate of mine can be serious for a moment, and stop thinking, and talk about foods? . Can’t he for a second, think about the things that are not foods, for the moon goddess sake??!!!!’, I thought a little frustrated.

“My dear beautiful mate. Listen carefully about what I am implying in here for a minute. Her cooking skills, and pastry skills were on above the par level of a high end luxury restaurant, and that much top quality skills can only be gained by having years of practice. The emphasis I was talking about, was on her cooking skills, that can only be mastered after years, and years of practice, and not on the foods that she had cooked, for that matter. So, my conclusion is that, she must have been worked in the kitchen, and was cooking regularly for years by now”, Clint said making me to think deeply about his random claim about Aurora too.

‘the point he said was true though. It’s very much of a valid conclusion’, I thought internally.

“And above all like Mrs. Jimmie had said to us in the morning, Aurora did all those different variety of savory, and sweet dishes in large quantities, without anyone’s help, and without any difficulties in such a short amount of time. So where ever she was before, either it was her old pack, or a rogue camp, she must have been an omega as only they were given these types of works to do”, Clint said thoughtfully.

After carefully consideration, what he said made sense.

'So Aurora must be in the omega level rank in her old place', I thought internally.

“And most importantly, we don’t know anything about her other than her name!!”, Zander said, and held his forehead in frustration.

“in all practical, and logical sense, there might be a high chance that, what she had told us as her name, can be a fake one for all we care. And just in case, she can be some one, who was sent by our enemies to spy us, and that she came to us with some ill intentions, and was faking everything to get our trust, or even sympathy”, Zander said with a serious expression.

And like he had said, that might be the case, or not… .. There are possibilities of that case happening right now.

But my gut feeling strongly says other wise in Aurora’s matter. She, for 100 cent percent sure, looks like a true, and innocent person.

I secretly prayed to the moon goddess that what I was thinking about Aurora, and my gut feeling must be right. As my gut feelings never failed me before in judging the character of other people.

****’well following my gut feelings should not hurt any one of my loved ones, and our pack members, dear moon goddess… please be with me', I prayed secretly in my heart.

**because I am really afraid, in case… . Just in case, what if…what Zander said about Aurora being one of the rogue wolves, who belongs to the rogue wolves camp that attacks us in a period fashion… .. Moon goddess forbid that… .. . I shivered just by the mere thought of thinking about that case of possibility being true, and shook my head to chase away those negative thoughts. I don’t want to jinx it.

“Well…. I can’t blame her for looking like that, in your point of view, Zander. She have some trust issues, and I could tell that just by looking at her for a few minutes. But once, she starts to trust us, she will definitely open up to us”, I said, what I thought about her.

“She said, she was a rogue. So even if she has any ill intentions, Or if she tries something out of ordinary, in a way in hurting us, or Any one of them from our pack, considering her rank level, and her physical appearance, and strength, she is no match for any one in our pack. Because our pack was filled with highly trained fighters, and each, and every pack members of our pack knows self defense skills, and can defend themselves against the attacks of our enemies”, Zander said his thoughts.

“guys… . I can tell that, and even assure you guys that Aurora is not a threat to our pack, or to our pack members”, I said making all the guys to look at me.

“guys…. Listen for a second…Her jerking in fear, and shrinking in reflex, every single time, one of us extended our hands to take something that was present on her side of the dinning table,….. That reflex actions can not be faked every single time.

It was just a subconscious movement of hers. So she was really scared of us, and it takes time for the trust to play its part on both of us. Trust is a mutual thing. Both sides need time to work things out”, I said looking at the guys.

“I can more like tell in 100 per cent confidence that she will not harm anyone. With her timid, and innocent character, even thinking about hurting anyone for her is a far cry”, I said.

“I agree to that. She is even afraid to make eye contact with us while talking, and her jumpy behavior says that she was treated badly in her old place, whatever, or wherever place that might be”, Kevin said with a meaningful look, and I could clearly catch the meaning in between his lines.

‘All in all, Aurora was treated badly in her previous place', I concluded in my mind.

I really felt sorry for her. Such a lovely looking, and innocent girl was treated badly before, made me to feel sad.

“well. Then let us just let her stay here with us, for the time being, and see what happens in the future”, Zion said, and dismissed everyone to go, and do our own works.

'Well, let the guys too wait, and realize that Aurora was good girl real soon', I thought internally, and went out of the alpha office.
