Alpha Dominic
Chapter 122

Bethany's

POV

I spent so much time with my mom and my sister and this time we spoke freely with each other with no fear of being scolded by my father. Mom finally opened up to me and my sister, telling us how she had wanted to leave my father all this while, but couldn't bring herself to abandon us. She had never been happy with him, she had only stayed back because of us. One time, she had asked dad to let her go away with us, but she had been beaten up like a f*****g slave and dad had threatened to sell us off as s*x slaves to any Alpha that would be willing to buy us from him. That is why she had stayed with him, she only wanted to protect us from danger, she gave up her freedom for us and she suffered through physical and emotional pains.

What hurts me more is the fact that I was right there in that house and I had no f*****g clue. I had no idea about it, I always thought that our family was simply perfect. But it turns out that I was simply fooling myself. All our lives were a lie and my father was a f*****g monster and a traitor. I pray he comes back to his senses before Dominic catches up to him. If he thinks that I am going to plead on his behalf, then he must be more stupid than I had thought. I would have focused more on my mom and my sister, but my friend needed me as well. Harriet just lost her dad and Ciara is just coming out of her trance-like state.

I am not yet a queen or even a Luna but I am beginning to multitask like one. It was so hectic and busy for me, it seems like my life is in chaos or something. I had to schedule my time and make sure that nobody gets left out. First, I'll go and spend some with my mom and my sister. I love starting my day with them, the smiles on their face, the kind encouraging words from my mom, and the nonstop chatter of my sister, that is how I love to start my day. Damn, I miss them so much. I can't believe that my father would ever do anything to lose such a beautiful family, what did we ever do to him. I guess Dominic was right when he did that he is just power-drunk and greedy. At least he has no leverage to use against me. My mom and my sister are safe and okay and so are the Alphas. It's too bad that Harriet lost her father in the process, I wished it never happened though, I hate to see Harriet and her mom this way, it saddens me to know that my father is involved in this crime, it's just so sad.

After spending time with my family, I go to the hospital to spend time with Ciara. It is so great to see her improving so rapidly after that visit from Dominic. Whatever he had said to her, that is exactly what she had needed to hear, that is what she wanted at the moment. It brought her out of her shell and she started responding to our conversations with her. She still hasn't told us anything, she doesn't say much about anything and I am pretty sure that t would take quite a while before she would be ready to speak to anyone about the hurtful things that Fabius did to her. She may never be able to open up to anyone, but we can't conclude right now. We'll just keep our fingers crossed and hope that she heals completely.

I have been reading about rape victims for some time now, I know that the trauma is too unbearable to forget. She would never forget about this experience, our only hope is for her to replace love again. Love would give her a reason to keep living, love would give her a reason to smile once more and live again. Doctor Fred said she would be leaving the hospital pretty soon. He would have sent her home a lot sooner, but he wanted to make sure that she is doing perfectly okay. We still need her to shift so we can determine what she would be shifting into and then we would know if she needs training on how to control her shifting. We also need to know if she has any other powers that need to be contained before she could hurt herself or hurt anyone. As a hybrid with vampire genes, it would be so hard to determine how dangerous she is, and her powers will be so hard to decipher, but I'm sure she will be okay.

My last stop is Harriet. I always go to her last because I don't want to interrupt her time with her mother. She has been through a lot, her mom is so hurt, she just lost her mate, and the pain in her heart is just so unbearable. It would take a while before she gets back to her usual self, that is if she ever gets back to her usual self. I've heard that a lot of werewolves do not get over the death of their mates, some actually die from the pain and heartbreak. They say it feels like the pain of rejection, but this time it's double, I mean twice the pain of rejection. I can't even begin to imagine how she would be feeling right now, I can't wish this kind of pain to my enemies. I hang out with them for some minutes, it's just so hard to watch her mom struggling to bear the pains in her heart. Carl and Harriet never left her side, they only take a break when I come around to visit them. I love helping them out and spending time with her mom, I truly do, but to be honest, I detest the few hours that I spend in that house. I can feel her pains, just like I had felt Ciara's pain. It hurts to see her this way, and I wish there was a way to help her, I wish there was a way for me to take away her pains. But I couldn't help her, I only have to sit here and feel her pains, watching her struggling to survive. It's so damn hard, I kid you not. That is why I come over here just before I go back to our room, it is just so depressing to see her that way. But I always feel better when I go back home to Dominic, his presence always makes me forget about everything I've been through. You remember when I said that the best time of my day is when I spend time with my mom and my sister, well, I was wrong. My best time is when I come back to this room and get in bed with my gorgeously handsome mate. He is so damn perfect, he knows how to make me feel so good. He has a lot on his plate as well, but he always creates time to be with me every f*****g day. He spends his day in the lab with Doctor Fred, they are trying to determine the ingredients in the powder that Alpha Richard gave to him. Dominic is a little obsessed with this powder because it is the weapon that King Ashford wants to use against us. They have been at it all day for the past five days but doctor Fred has not been able to replace out anything useful. We are left with only one option, and that is the humans. Dominic has to replace a way to convince that Lorenzo guy to help us out, that is the only way we would have a chance at winning this war. It's either that or we would have to put on a mask connected to an oxygen tank so we don't have to breathe in the powder when we face the Lycans or their human allies.

I just hope that he would be able to convince Marco Lorenzo. We would be going to the big city after Ciara is discharged. I hope Ciara recovers fully before we go to the big city to meet her sister, the success of this mission depends on her right now. I'm not so sure that Dominic will be able to convince Lorenzo, but I sure won't let him do it alone. I am going to get Graciela to speak to him on our behalf. If she speaks to him on our behalf, I'm sure he would not turn down Dominic's proposal. But first I need to make sure that her sisters are both okay, there is no way I'm asking her for help if her Ciara is still looking like a freaked-out zombie. She would never listen to me, she would not forgive me for letting her get hurt in the first place.

I know that she must have found out about my secret, she must know that I am a werewolf and she would hate me for lying to her all these years. I can explain everything to her, and I can get her to forgive me and help us out before we get wiped out by King Ashford, but all this can only happen if Ciara gets well before we leave for the big city. I k ow she is not going to get well immediately, I mean, it's a miracle that she is able to come out of her trancelike state, but I want more, I need her to stand up from that f*****g bed, she needs to get well real soon, our whole lives is in her hands. I guess I'll have to keep up with my job and take care of everyone until they all feel better. It's a task assigned to me by the moon goddess, I'll just keep looking after everyone as a Luna does. I guess I'll just keep acting like a Luna, I'll make sure they all get better, I'll make sure of it.
