Her Stepping Stones

Revelation

Alpha Aaron P.O.V

Once I reached my house I walked in naked as the day I was born. I immediately saw Triss and Lina in the kitchen drinking juice. "Where's my mom? I asked. " We were told to not disturb them until they were ready alpha", he replied. Thank Goddess. Hopefully she can repair the damage that was done to him. " Lina", I called. " We need to talk about something urgent. Can you meet me in my room in ten minutes. I need to shower and get dressed", I said. " S-sure no problem", she replied.

Lina P.O.V

I can't believe he stood here naked as ever talking to me like it wasn't bothersome. " What does he want to talk about"? " Honestly, I'm not sure", Gamma Triss answered. Gamma Triss pointed the way to his room and I entered slowly. He was still showering so I had a minute or two to collect myself. I noticed I was still in the stupid dress I was wearing for that monsters ceremony. I started ripping it up at the frills in the bottom. I can't believe I was gonna let this happen. At this point I was in tears. Tears that I could finally let go. He killed my dad. He made me his slave. Almost his s*x slave. Almost his Luna. I couldn't stand how much of my life I didn't get to have and choose. I had to quit high school. I kept ripping the dress up until it was well passed my knees. " Are you finished or you need more time?"Alpha Aaron questioned. " I need a shower and clothes", I replied like a zombie. I walked in the shower passed him and shut the door. I discarded the rest of the dress and hopped in. I Scrubbed myself until I finally felt clean. I got out and wrapped a towel around me. I searched through the drawers and found a spare toothbrush. I needed to be clean. Whatever happens I need to be clean I kept chanting lowly. After brushing my teeth and being satisfied with my cleaner state, I settled on the floor. I grabbed hold of the towel so it would stay around me and I just let it all out. I cried on the floor into a panic attack. What am I gonna do? What if he didn't accept me? All these questions were burning my brain into oblivion. Suddenly the door slammed into the wall and he walked in. He knelt down beside me and lightly ran his fingers up my bare back. That mate bond is something special. I kept my eyes closed but still know who's touching me. " If you're worried about rejection, I need to be honest. I thought about it at first but once I saw you and how you reacted with Gage", I winced at the mention of his name. " I knew you were also in trouble. Let me help you. I don't understand why he was accusing you of murder so please tell me everything. I need to know", he said. I looked up at him. "She was helping me escape and got killed in the process", I spoke quietly. He lifted me up and settled me on a nearby cushion chair. I should be embarrassed but he's my mate so I guess it all works differently. " Please, I need to know everything that was done. From your dad dying to now. I wouldn't ask until you were ready but I'm also the investigator of such heinous crimes", he spoke. " Okay, I'll tell you everything from my side. I don't know much but I think there's enough to help you". I told him my life from when my dad died up until Maya told me her plan. By the time I was done I could feel his anger coming off him. I left out some s****l parts that obviously didn't escape him. " What did he do to you?" He asked with clenched teeth. " How would you know he did anything", I said scared. " I read his journal, he had written some things". My face flushed. " Please I'm not ready to talk about all of that yet. I need time", I pleaded. " Well I wasn't gonna say anything but if you can't tell me every detail I might as well", he finished. " He claims to have put a camera in the room you were living in before the cells and even claimed to try and r**e your mother and that's why she disappeared", he seethed. " He watched you change and do your basic hygiene in hopes you would turn out looking like your mother". I stared at him flabbergasted. My breathing got hard and before I knew it I was on the floor. I was breathing so hard I passed out. " TRISS, Aaron yelled. That was all I heard before I was gone.
