Kane could only smile at hello cousin. He knew she was special to him and this pack. His Alpha is in for a mighty surprise. His Luna may be tiny, and she may have been severely abused over many lifetimes, but she is mighty. His life is about to be turned upside down and Kane doesn’t think Nathan will even bat an eye. He was so taken with the tiny woman lying on that bed. He had not taken his eyes off her since they walked into the room. He just stares at her with his armadillo eyes. Yeah, he will never live that one down.
Kane says out loud to everyone, “First we are going to have to decide how the Luna is going to communicate with everyone.”
Nathan looks at him and asks, “What do you mean decide? She could barely speak. She will have to link with her beta or gamma and they will have to communicate her words to us.”
Kane sighs and thinks here we go. “No Alpha. That is one way she can communicate. She could also open a mind link with each of us, but it would be very taxing on her body and mind. It will deplete her of the energy she needs for healing. Or she could create a blood bond with each of you and that will open a mind link that is not a strain on her.”
“And just how do you know so much about my mate, gamma?” Nathan wanted to know.
“Your mate’s name is Katia, and she is my cousin on my father’s side. I did not realize this and who she was until I heard her say her parents are titans and then confirm it by calling me cousin.” The gamma snapped back.
Katia watched the Alpha, which is her mate. He did not seem truly angry with Kane, just frustrated that maybe information was being purposely held from him. He was truly a majestic man. When he moved, his muscles rippled all over and his voice did things to her that she never thought to experience. The hot tingling was back, and she could feel goose bumps everywhere. She wondered what it would feel like to have those big arms wrapped around her and caressing her back. Aza chimed in, “I wonder what it would feel like to have those big hands caressing between our legs and one of those fingers sliding in and out our pussy like his pokey thing would.” Blushing of Katia felt a wetness between her legs and realized Kane was saying something to her.
“Wha What?” she stammered. “I said what would you like to do?” Kane smirked, realizing what his little cousin was doing. Once again, she stammered, “Umm about what?”
Kane pinched the bridge of his nose, “Katia, I am asking you to pay attention please. I am trying to help you here. How do you want to communicate with everyone?”
‘Oh, we are still talking about that?” she giggled. “The blond bond would be easiest, and it only takes a little blood.”
Nathan asks, “Will it interfere with the mate bond and link when it is time to mark you and form those? What will my Alpha blood do to you?”
She looks to Kane for help with the answers. He is only too happy to explain, “The blood bond is a different bond than the mate bond. It will not interfere with anything to do with the mate bond. Your blood will not harm her with the small amount we are going to use. If anything, it may help with her healing.”
Kane explains further, “If you agree to the blood bond, then all of us in this room will form a bond and mind link that only we can communicate with each other.”
Of course, Nathan has another inquiry, “How are you able to mind link with her already?”
Kane sighs once more, “We are of the same family and are already connected through blood.” Glancing at Katia and seeing she is getting tired, he turns back to his Alpha, “Nathan, we need to move forward with this and get the information out that she needs to impart so she can rest. She is fast tiring and will be asleep before we find anything out.”
Every single one of them agrees to blood bond with her and each other so they can all communicate easily. Kane pulls out a small pocketknife and cuts his left palm. He then hands the knife to the Alpha, who does the same; the Dalia, Chipper, Mark, Kelp, and finally Katia. They all touch their palms to Katia’s, intermingling their blood with hers and then with each other. It was instant the power each felt from intermingling their blood with Katia’s. Nathan was amazed at the power in her blood. If she is so powerful, how had she ended up so abused?
A sweet soft voice said through the new link, “Because my power is not the type of power you are thinking of. Nor the kind that can be utilized as a defense. It is a power used to better our kind.” Chills shot down his spine hearing that sweet voice and they went straight to his crotch. He wanted to hear that sweet voice in his head begging while he was making love to her.
Chipper was snapping his fingers in front of his face and Kane was trying to get his attention. “Nathan earth to Nathan. Pay attention Katia is getting ready to tell us what you want to know.”
Kane walked over to his cousin and sat in the chair next to her bed while everyone else settled on the couch, other chairs, and Nathan planted himself on the bed next to her. He was sitting there rubbing her leg. Kane looked at Katia, “Okay cousin, it your turn. Time to tell your life story.”
Katia took a deep mental breath and launched into what she could remember of her earlier life. “I don’t remember anything of being a baby or toddler. I think my earliest memory that is truly mine and has not been shown to me by my sister is the people I thought were my parents not letting me eat because I broke a glass when I was washing dishes. I got to eat scraps mostly when they deemed, I had not been to much trouble. I did have my own room with a bed and a thin blanket, some clothes that were given to me from some of the others in the pack. I did not grow much so I did not need many clothes. I typically try to keep them mended so they will last longer. My parents allowed me to bath twice a week with cold water, so I took very fast showers. Their favorite sport was making up things I did wrong so they could punish me. Punishment could be anything. A slap, whipping, no food for days, locked in my room for days, locked in the basement for days or a cage, punching bag, really whatever they could think of or felt like. On my tenth birthday, I thought something had changed and they were going to show me that they really did love me. I woke up that day, my mom showed me a new dress she had bought for me, I was allowed to shower with warm water, she did my hair and led me down the stairs. Once down them there was a tall muscular man with dark brown hair and golden eyes. My mother told me that he wanted me as his chosen mate. My parents sold me to him. I was now his and was told by him to pack my things.”
She stopped for a moment, taking a drink of water and then continued, “He was Alpha Thomas of the Blood Meadow pack. He did not like that. I would not acknowledge him. I did not speak at the time, and I just stood and stared at him. He let me know that my behavior was unacceptable, and he would be teaching me how to behave when we got to his pack. He told me to go gather my things and I did. I didn’t have much, so it did not take me long. He told me to say goodbye to my parents and we were leaving. I kept staring straight ahead and walked out the front door to the car waiting. He did not like that I disobeyed him, but he did not say anything. He said that since it was my birthday, we were going to get something to eat and something special for my birthday.
I stood outside waiting for him and found Mark waiting in the vehicle along with Kelp. I knew Kelp was something special to me but did not understand until Mark introduced him as my gamma. Then everything clicked for us, and we had an immediate connection. He soothed my wolf, who had been trying to heal me as far back as I can remember, and we were so young. I did not know that most wolves did not meet their wolves until they were in their teens. Aza has been with me ever since I can remember.
Mark, Kelp, Eric, Doc, Coral, and many Blood Meadow pack members tried so hard to protect me from the Alpha, but I was his chosen mate and there was not much they could do. He loved abusing his alpha power, but I was immune to it. Seems I have always been immune to Alpha command. Even when he was punishing me in front of the pack, he was sure Alpha ordered the entire pack to make no attempt to help me until he said otherwise. That is what happened on the day I became a woman. I was twelve and had just started my woman’s time. He arrived home and immediately smelled it. He was ecstatic because he could finally meet and mark me. When I refused to show any reaction to his demands and touch, he dragged me out to the punishment pole in the middle of the training area and tied me up. He had bought a new whip or toy, as he called it. Once he was done shredding my skin, he decided he was going to mate and mark me in front of the whole pack. My wolf went ballistic, forced our first shift and attacked the Alpha. We were no match for him. He destroyed us. That was when he ripped my throat out and shredded my vocal chords. When he was finished with us and walked away, I was just about dead. I remember being so cold but Mark and Kelp constantly talking to me and begging me to hold on. I can remember fading in and out of consciousness. The doctor and nurse working for what seemed like hours out on that field trying to stabilize me. The next thing I knew, I was in darkness with my wolfie and we were happy.”
Kane saw his cousin was drooping and could tell that had taken a lot our her. “I think we should stop here for now and let Katia get some food and rest. We can meet back here in the morning, and she can continue. When she relives all of this, she feels everything all over again.”
Mark and Kelp wanted to know, “You gonna be okay if we leave little ghost? Do you want us to stay?”
Katia just shook her head no and smiled thank you. Everyone else said goodnight. Katia glanced over at her cousin, “Thank you. I did not want to go on after the last part. I needed a break. When I get into the rest, how much you want to reveal about you.”
“It no longer matters what is revealed about me. It is all the same, we are children of titans that pissed off their sire and now he wants revenge. So, tell me what you need to tell little cousin. The Snow Moon pack already know what I am.”
Kane bent forward and kissed her head, “I’ll see you in the morning sweet cousin.”
That left Katia with Nathan. He smiled at her and said, “Don’t worry little mate, after you eat, you can sleep, and I will keep you safe. No one will ever hurt you again.”
