Chapter 130
Alora’s POV
I’m back in the basement, the one that I’ve seen far to much of as a child. I hated this ce, why did
my mind have to bring me back here. I was chained in a standing position to the support beams above
me. Then I hear it, the distinctive whistle of the whip flying through the air, I keep myself from crying
out. My screams had only ever excited him. I knew he was dead, but trapped in this nightmare it didn’t
matter. 3
Over and over again the blowse, I fight the pain as it tears open my flesh, leaving long deep
gashes in my back. Finally he stops, panting, he wasn’t exactly fit for a Werewolf, thank the Goddess.
Then ites, like it always did, his hands in my wounds smearing the blood, digging his fingers in, for

of this nightmare.
“I can make it all stop.” he would whisper. “All you have to do is obey me and give me what I want.”
“Never!” I’d screamed at him.
This had always made him angry, so he pped me, busting my lip, another p more blood from my
lip and now my nose, then another, this one causing my ears too ring. “Your nothing but a whore!” he
snarled. “You should be happy to let me have what I want.” I’d spit my blood in his face. Roaring he
grabbed up the whip and he went at it again, till I had no strength and I just hung there limp, nearly
unconscious.
“You stupid whore, maybe next time you’ll know to obey me.” was his parting shot before going back up
the stairs. Silent tears make there way down my cheeks as my body burns with pain from every nerve
ending. 3
Then I hear it….Damien’s voice. “Alora, Starlight, baby please wake up, he can’t touch you any more,
he can’t touch you.” His distress calls me from the nightmare, making it fade. Ie to in Damien’s
arms, tears tracking down my face, I was covered in sweat. “Damien.” my voice is hoarse and my
throat hurt.
“Starlight! You’re awake, finally.” He clutches me close and rocks me back and fourth. for more visit :-
.noveljar I feel guilty about the distress my nightmares were causing him. 2
“I’m sorry.” I tell him.
“Don’t, don’t apologize, it’s not your fault you have these nightmares and this trauma, it’s theirs.
Goddess I’m d their dead, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from tearing them to pieces if they were
still alive.” He was talking about Bettina and Allister.
This is not the only nightmare I’ve had this week, the first one stared Bettina, Damien had been pulled
into that one with me. Those times seemed to be the hardest on him, reliving the specifics with me. For
this one, he was left outside the dream only able to observe the stress this nightmares caused my
body. Damien had been pulled into another one earlier this week.
That one had made both Damien and me d for the protection spell on my womb, it would prevent
Sarah from doing to me what she did in that nightmare.
Damien’s POV
I woke up to Alora crying out in her sleep when I touched her this time, I wasn’t pulled into her
nightmare like I had her others. Her body was covered in sweat and her breathingbored. They had
starteding nearly every night since the ultrasound telling us we would have twins. Her adoption
ceremony was in two day’s. I needed to find a way to get her to sleep through the night.
This stress was terrible for a pregnant she wolf, and when she came out of her nightmares, her
emotions would always turn to guilt. She would feel guilty for suffering nightmares, the only reason she
had them was because of the trauma she suffered. None of it was her fault, and I would tell her
over and over until she could finally ept that truth. (4)
I had a few meetings with the n’s mental health department and found a therapist I think would work
for Alora, but she would have to decide that on her own. It had been easier to get her to agree to go
than I had thought it would be, but Alora told me she wanted to get better, she was tired of the
nightmares. I would be with her every step, I wouldn’t let her face all this alone. 2
I hold Alora close to my chest as she calms down from the nightmare, just holding her, giving her my
support. She was the most precious thing in the world to me, and she was hurting because of all she
suffered. I couldn’t begin to describe how much watching her suffer, and being unable to do anything
about, it made my heart break. She had deserved a much better life than the one she got, and I would
spend our life making sure she knows just how much she means to me.
I kiss her forehead and she looks up at me, there’s a frown on her face. “What is it Starlight?” I asked
her.
“I feel icky, I really want a shower.” She tells me.
I chuckle, “Your wish is mymand, but might I suggest a bath after a quick rinse in the shower, I
think a good soak will do you good.” I tell her.
She smiles up at me, her love for me in her eyes “Thank the Goddess I have you as my mate, you take
care of me so well.” she says in a husky, emotion filled voice.
I smile down at her and give her a kiss, when I lift up I look back into her eyes. for more visit :-
.noveljar “It is my pleasure to take care of you, mate, wait here and I’ll go get everything
started.” I tell her. (2
I decided I would give her a bit of a spa treatment, I didn’t want her body to suffer any lingering effects
of her nightmare. I wanted to minimize the damage they caused her until we found away to get them to
fade, and hopefully disappear altogether if that could be aplished. I will know more once the
therapist meets with Alora. 3
ording to the therapist, there were different degrees of trauma, some could be overe, while
others, could never be gotten over or forgotten. She said the mind had a funny way of holding on to
things. The worse the moment in your life, the more ingrained into your mind it is, just like your happiest
moment was. It was the in between moments that sometimes got lost. (2
When she said this I had a sinking feeling in my gut, and asked her if there was a way to help someone
cope through years worth of trauma and lessen it’s daily impact. She said their was, but only with a
strong support system behind the patient. She also said it would depend on how determined the patient
was to get better, and how strong their mind was.
Alora was strong, and she was determined, she also had a very strong support system behind her.
With that, I had been given hope, we would find a way to overe what happened to Alora. At least
to significantly reduce the amount of nightmares she had. Maybe if I started to enter the dreams on my
own ord, maybe then I could help guide her out. (3)
Thinking on that I start the tub and I put some rxing essential oils in the water, then I turn on the
shower and adjust the temperature. I go back out to the bedroom and pick Alora up off the bed and
carry her into the shower. As I washed her I massage her muscles a little bit, I would give her a better
massage after her bath.
Once Alora was rinsed off, I turn off the shower, then lead her over to therge tub as it just finished
filling. Turning off the taps I get me and Alora settled into the tub with her front on my chest. Alora
rxes into me as I hold her close and start to pet her, it was my favorite pass time, just touching her.
As we soak, I mind link one of the Heartsong Mansion’s over night maids and ask them to have our
bedding changed quickly.
We stay in the tub till the water started to cool. I lift her out of the tub, then stand her in front of me as I
gently dry her skin. Sitting her at the vanity in the bathroom, I blow dry her hair and massage her scalp.
When her hair was dry we head out to the bedroom, I grabbed a bottle of massage oil out of the
warmer in the bathroom, making sure to turn it off on our way out.
I pull back the covers on the fresh bedding and have hery on her belly. Using the lc and

honeysuckle scented oil, for more visit :- .noveljar I give Alora a deep tissue massage. She
fell asleep as I was massaging her front side, with her rxed and back to sleep, I crawl in bed next to
her and bring her up against my chest. I fall back to sleep myself, holding my mate close.
