Blood Moon Tells All

Chapter 6

Sky

“Where do I begin with this?” I muttered around my tea.

“How about this.” Raffie said as he put down the picture of us on a playground.

“Okay Shonna used to have brown hair and brown eyes. Like any normal kid. To tell you the truth the pack that found us and took us in was the false moon pack. They were fine to us and treated us like part of the pack until Shonna and I started developing out gifts. At first the luna and the Alpha were both happy that they adopted twins that are powerful, but the pack started to fear us when we could fight the oldest and strongest of them with ease. We were only 10 years old.” I paused to sip my tea and took a breath and let it out. “We became the best fighters I was the best tracker and able to set up traps for our enemies. She on the other hand was great at torcher curses and killing. Between the two of us we were the best they had until the day your dad came looking for one of you. I found him and listened to him. He wasn’t a rouge, so I figured to let him look around our land. But the alpha had none of it and captured your dad and sent me to the dungeons to be whipped. Your dad was devastated that when my sister came down to whip him for trespassing, she seen me, and horror filled her face. So, she unlocked my chains and his and told him to take me and run as fast as he can. She healed me and him. As we started to leave, she started to weave a spell to make it look like we were still there. Until we got far enough away. The thing is we didn’t know the pack employed a dark witch, that’s when things went down hill fast. We made it far enough that the spell broke and when it did your father, and I were almost to your pack border until I collapsed. And it felt like I was on fire. And then I was being summoned back to the pack house. The Witch used my sister as a beacon. To forcibly to teleport me to her your father would have been safe, if he didn’t grab me. But he did and got teleported me back. And that was when I saw my sister naked, beaten and bleeding. There were so many male wolves around her the worse happened.” Shuddering I drink my tea and decided it was not enough. I went to grab the stronger stuff, but it was not there.

“Mom you know you can’t have that right.” Ash reminded me after she saw my intention.

A thump hit the table then Raffie started to pace, and Ash put food on the table with the whiskey in front of Rex and Raffie. They looked up at her and she put a bottle that looks smells and tastes like whiskey in front of me. “Ash what is this? First you remind me then you put it in front of me?” I gave her a look after I asked.

Giving a irritating sigh “Mom yours is a fake it gives you all the comfort and feeling as the real stuff but it is a potion that will help my little…” she faltered as her eyes goes hazy.

“Ash don’t tell me the s*x yet.” I said and took a swig and grimace at the taste.

Uncle Raffie and Uncle Rex please drink the alcohol the story is going to get worse. I’ve heard some not all. And it gives me nightmares and I didn’t experience any of this.” Ash said and sat down grabbed herself a drink of whiskey.  They both nodded Raffie sat down and ate and drank. Rex busied himself by going through the pictures in the box and the ones in the album.  “Please continue.” Raffie said.

“Well, she was being tortured and r***d in front of me and your dad. They had no mercy with her. She didn’t beg for it to stop just cried silent tears. Until one the alpha came in and said I was free, and your dad was to be my pet. But my sister was not free yet. I nodded and left glancing at my sister worried about her.  As we passed the front guard the son of the alpha said that if my sister broke at all I was going to be next. For the same torture, for that I was saddened and happy that my sister was protecting me. She was not the same since once she was released from the dungeons. She was hurt and we could not understand why.  Until one night I snuck out of bed to see that she had shackles on, and they were merging with her skin. The dark witch with the help of her first mate they broke her ankles and used a magical item to keep rebreaking her ankles until she accepts that she is weak, or she dies. Either one they were fine with. Until she found out that a month later she was pregnant through all that torture. She told her first mate that she was because she had to. But her body had other plans the son did not believe her so he hit her in the face and chest. He went to kick her when his mom stepped in and back handed her son. All Shonna did was go into the forest where she made her home. Away from others. And screamed for an hour or more. When the screaming stopped the alpha and luna found her holding an infant in her arms. I was summoned and in turn so was your dad. He didn’t want any one near me. When he seen what she was holding he howled and lighting hit the ground and thunder boomed. The child was dead, and my sister was loosing it. As she was laying there unconscious her hair started to bleed. Then it caught fire as we all backed up my sister opened her eyes which turned emerald, green. Her witch abilities kicked in and she gave the loudest scream. The wind kicked up and swept it down through the forests as the stuff around her burned to ashes. Your father didn’t know what was happening, but he killed the luna and tried to smother the flames on my sister and used thunder to push me to a safe place away from the fire. He died trying to save my sister, to only figure out she was the one on flames and she was controlling it. He gave her a hug and called for a lightning strike to short circuit her out it worked but it also killed your dad. I’m sorry you had to hear that.” I said with my head down on the table with tears running down my face.  Rex stood up fast as a pair of arms came from nowhere and hugged me from behind. “Mate he growled in my ear” Jason said as he lifted me up took my seat and sat down with me on his lap.

“When did you get here hun?” I asked.

“The part of her loosing her pup. Rex sit down, before you fall down. Now is not a time of formalities. I knew the two of you were in a bad situation, but I never knew how bad. When did Shonna shift?” He asked.

“She was ten when she shifted, she shifted for the first time in the middle of the torture and rape.”  I said and started to cry. Jason just hugged me closer.

Rex grabbed the bottle and took a swig same with Raffie. “Damn if I didn’t want to kill them already, I sure do now.” Raffie said.

Shonna

I woke up to talking and knowing what the subject is about I kept still and quiet. So they didn’t know I was awake. My niece Ash came in and gave me some soup. And winked at me. Shaking my head and smiled I got sitting up so I can eat. Once done I saw my brother-in-law walk through the door, I put my finger to my lips to let him know to be quiet. I went out of the door before he could shut it. So it sounded only once. Ash and I are sitting outside in my now reborn garden. “Auntie I know you are always hurt but can I try to take the shackles off?” She asked. I looked at her eyes and shrugged, “Sure if you want you can try. You can’t hurt me any more than these damn things do every week.” I said.

She put her hand out about an inch or so away from my left ankle as her hand started to glow green the red as fire and warmth it the ankle. I hear a pop and a fizzle as I feel the shackle leave me. Gasping she worked quickly to remove the other. When both are off, I can feel my ankles heal. Damn did it hurt but the feeling of joy had me laughing and holding my wonderful niece. Once I freed her from my arms. She grabbed them to take them into the house before I had a chance to incinerate them. Damn her gifts, but honestly. I’m happy that they are off. The feeling of not having them there makes me feel light. That’s when I realized that another part of the shackles was to limit my power. Well the oh s**t thought was a bit late.

Ash

“Auntie I know you are always hurt but can I try to take the shackles off?” I asked when she only responded with a shrugged. And a comment that I didn’t hear I was already working my magic. To remove them. I have been studying different magical items and I found a book about shackles that rebroke the ankles and limits their natural abilities and found in this book how to get them off. Of the victim. So with practice that I did on my own time, I used that knowledge start with her left ankle. I visualized the shackle and what form the key was needed and then added in the heat and like that it fell off. Happy I quickly did her right ankle and when they both came off. Auntie gave me a big hug and with happy tears she let me go. Then I grabbed them and ran into the house with the shackles. I slammed the door open and then I placed the shackles on the table.

Rex

Trying to figure out what I just found out what my mate and my father went through blew my mind. No wonder she is so soft spoken and always ready for a fight. As I took another swig of the alcohol the door busted open with a clank on a table was a pair of bloody shackles.
