Aurora pov:
Have you guys ever felt, or wished whole heartedly for certain things to happen, and certain some things to never ever happen???.
But all due to the luck (more like unlucky fate) of our life, the things we want, and wishes to happen will never come true.
Instead of that, those things would happen, which was totally opposite to what we had wished for.
Well that was exactly the situation, I was now in currently.
I wanted a loving mate, who would love me, and accept me, for who I am, without having any prior opinion about me. Yet I got the total opposite of what I wanted in a mate, in the form of Chance Gary.
Even so, I gathered all my little hope, and prayers, and with a little bit of courage, I managed to free myself from that toxic relationship, well supposed toxic relationship.
I made a decision for my future, and accidentally came here to this new pack, in which I had made a new home for myself, and got a few new true friends, whom I began to cherish dearly.
But when I start to think about the situation, like this will be the way my life will always turn out to be in the future.
Like a cold water was being poured on my head in a winter morning, the question which I had dreaded the most, neither which I have ever wanted to ever hear, nor wanted to give an answer to, was asked by Casey.
It was like giving me a wake up call, that life was not a fancy happy dream, like I was feeling in my new home, making me to feel like a slap on the face, with the bitter reality.
**’as if my life was really a fantasy fairy tale before', I thought sarcastically.
I never wanted to tell, or even think about my past life, and the things that I went through in the hands of my previous pack, and that to mainly to my new friends.
I was truly afraid that they would hate me, and would tell me to leave their pack for good.
With all these disturbing thoughts running through my mind, I had never realized that I froze on the spot, and sat still like a statue on the bed from the moment, Casey asked that question.
“what happened to you in the past?. How did you get those scars on your body? “, she finally asked me, making me to freeze still in shock.
I just looked at her questioning yet curious and concern filled gaze silently without saying a word out, as my mind went blank because of her sudden question.
It was not like I wanted to lie to them, but at the same time, I was scared of what they will think about me, and what would they do after hearing my terrible past.
Even though If it seems like I was being selfish on my side, I do not care anymore.
I really like being in this pack, and living with my new friends, and I did not want to lose them, for any reason.
“Rory??.... Rory??!!! “, Casey called my name out in a haste, and shook me by my arms, making me to come out of my own little world, where I was having a debate on telling the truth to her, or not telling the truth, with myself.
She must have noticed that her question had made me to freeze in shock, as she looked both concerned about me, and a little bit of guilty too.
“Sorry, Rory…. I did not mean to ask you this question to make you uncomfortable, and weird. I just wanted to know what happened to my Rory, in the past, whom I treat as my best friend, and sister”, Casey said making my eyes to tear up instantly.
She thought, and considered me as her best friend, and sister.
The two things, which I yearned to attain in the past few years.
“The chief doctor examined you, when you was unconscious. He saw the scars, and bruises on your body, and was shocked to his core. He told me about it, and also strictly warned me about your health conditions”, she further continued to say, while taking one of my hand in to hers, and gently caressing it.
I just looked at her without opening my mouth, as I was still reluctant to speak about my past.
“ the chief doctor said that your healing speed was very slow, and that you have nutrition deficiency. That was why you are not yet healed, even though you have werewolf genes in your body. So he told me to take extra care of you, so that you can get healed quickly, without any complications”, Casey said in the most possible soothing voice, making me to tremble inside.
****it was because, I was still a coward, and was afraid to speak about my past.
“sweet heart. Look at me… look me in the eyes… you can tell me everything, or anything, and I promise to you, that I will never pass a comment, or judge you for what happened in your past.
Telling about your past experience can make you feel light in your hear, sweet heart. Sharing your sorrows, and grievances to others, can make it bearable for you.
I wanted to know more about you, as I wanted to take a better care of you. And I am really concerned about you, as a big sister, and close friend.
So sweet heart, do not think about anything negative, and just share your sorrows, and pains with me, as I will only be a good listener, and nothing more than that.
I swear on the moon goddess that I will never ever judge you, and will always behave the same with you as I did in the past.
Do not be scared. Nothing was going to change the way how I love you, and respect you, sweet heart.
I will always be with you as your moral support “, Casey said making the unshed tears that I had tried to hold back till now to burst out, and flow down my cheeks.
The words, Big Sister, And Love said by her, did the trick, and I was now thinking about saying what happened to me in the past, to Casey.
Casey pov:
The moment I asked her about what had happened to her in the past, and about the scars on her body, Rory froze on her spot, the very instant.
She was slightly trembling from head to toe, and I know for sure, that she was not aware of the fact herself that she was trembling like a leaf.
And I knew the reason for her strange behavior too. She was afraid to talk about her past.
She was afraid of speaking, and recalling all those painful past memories, as she did not want to get hurt voluntarily yet again, by speaking about it.
***’poor little Rory…. How scared she might be of her past place that even talking about it, makes her to tremble like a piece of light paper? ‘, I thought, and sighed internally.
I know that talking about her terrible past experiences, and the scars might k****e her worst memories, and traumatic experiences, but I have no other choice other than this. I had to do it the hard way.
I did not want Rory to talk about her terrible past, which will hurt her more, as I had already witnessed on how she reacted to my question.
But only by knowing what had happened to her in the past, and what were the things that she had experienced, and endured to survive in her last living place, only then I can help her, according to that.
I slowly extended my hand, and took her trembling pale, and weak looking hand from her lap, and placed it on my lap, while caressing it reassuringly, and smiled while gripping her hand with some strength.
“I know, sweet heart. It was hard for you to open up to others. But trust me, honey. Only if you tell me, what you had went through in the past, I can help you, dear”, I said, and squeezed her hand to tell her, and make her to feel that I was there with her, and I will support her endlessly.
