Chapter 0024 Chapter Alora POV
"I'm sorry I haven't been here....I'm sorry for a lot of things. I've let you both down." I sigh as I wipe away years of built up dirt that has covered my parent's grave stone. They died within 6 months of each other.
I lost Dad first, and then Mum. It's hard to lose a mate...and my parents were fated mates. Their bond the strongest I've ever known.
They say a grieving mate never fully recovers and I did try to pick Mum back up, but in the end her heart was just too broken.
I watched her slowly become a shadow of
f herself.
Losing Dad was incredibly tough, but to lose Mum and so soon, already grieving, was life changing.
The Alpha and Luna, Than's parents, took me in. Offering me shelter and some sense of normality. For that, I will always be grateful to them. No matter what has since past.
From an early age, Than and I had always been inseparable, so I imagine for them it made sense as I was always at the alpha house most days.
With their help I managed to move on from the death of my parents, although I think you just get used to the grief rather than moving on from it.
It never leaves you, you just learn to live with it.
I was able to breathe a little lighter, knowing Than was always with me.

Then it all went wrong....
And I couldn't n't see a way out, taking wolfsbane being the only option.
And
I shake my own head as I relive past memories that still haunt me.
With a prayer of peace to the moon goddess for looking after my parent's spirits, and sparing me, I lay down the white roses that I had cut earlier from the alpha house's back garden. I kiss the head stones. before standing up, a twinge hitting me in my back. I've been trying to train again but my stomach still hurts and so does my lower back. Which prevents me from pushing myself too hard.
Which I desperately need to do, I have no muscle whatsoever..no ability to defend myself in a fight.
Something was also plaguing Than, this security threat taking up most of his time. Every time I ask he brushes it off and changes the subject, which isn't like Than at all.
I couldn't find the white dress anywhere. Surely I would have kept it? It would have been too special to throw away.
But then I wasn't in the right frame of mind back then. So much had happened and maybe my timelines were crossing.

I was on my way to meet Than at the pack hospital to meet my doctor for a check up. To see how my physio was doing and hopefully he'll be impressed with my vocal improvements. v eyes.
"There you are...are you okay?" Than kisses the tip of my nose before placing his thumbs under myNôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Than joins me in the privacy of the doctor's office, where I am given a check up and bloods are taken.
"How are you feeling in general?" The doctor asks me as he labels small vials of my blood to be sent off for testing.
"My strength is slowly rebuilding and my speech.....

"Has come on leaps and bounds." Than squeezes my hand that is clasped within his, as it lays neatly his lap. As always, my biggest cheerleader. "My stomach does still ache and I've been getting sharp pains in my lower back."
"Sharp pains?" The doctor replies.
"Yes...here." I use my free hand to indicate exactly where, being met by the doctor's eyes that flash to Than for a second before looking back at me. "I see. How long have you had the pain?"
"It's been getting stronger over the past day or two. What do you think it is?"
"It could just be your body getting used to working off the machines...having to now work for themselves."
They'll be
be okay though? I won't have any long lasting issues?"
His eyes dart again to Than, who hold's the doctor's gaze in an odd way.
"Kaia....what you took was very strong. We may not know the full extent for years to come."
A low threatening growl sounds from Than's chest, his aura emits from him.suddenly making the room. suffocating
"But, I'm sure your age will play a key factor in your recovery. I'm sure things will be just fine."
There was something laced behind the Doctor's tone some kind of forced response.
