Chapter 34

“Okay don’t say I didn’t warn you then. I need to get something out of the bathroom to wipe this off then.”

“Wipe what off?” Liam asks. Concern written all over his face.

“The cover up.” She says nonchalantly.

She gets a tube of something out and a wash cloth out. She rubs her skin with it in the shower and comes out covered in red scars.

Both the twins gasp and jump off the bed all but running towards her.

“Why didn’t you tell us it was this bad?” Josh asks in an angry tone.

Allie immediately breaks down in sobs again. “I’m sorry. I was scared.”

“I’m sorry baby. I’m not angry at you. I promise.” Josh says as he pulls her into his arms.

Liam turns on their bedroom light and pulls Allie in front of the foot bench. Both the twins sit on the bench and stare in disbelief at the number of scars littering her body. The only place she doesn’t have scars is her face and hair.

Some look like boots or heels while others look like they were probably made with whips. They both get up and trace every scar memorizing her body.

“You’re still beautiful love.” Liam says as he kisses her lips softly.

“Yes, you are. I’m fucking hard looking at you now.” Josh says with a chuckle.

“This doesn’t change anything love.” Liam says sweetly.

“What is the stuff you put on your scars?” Josh asks.

“I’m not sure. It’s a lotion that Luna Gloria gave me.” Allie says as she brings it over to the twins. “It is waterproof for up to 20 showers or swims and then I have to reapply it.”

After they look it over, they hand it back to her and she goes to put it away.

“Baby, I think you need to show dad and your parents all these scars. I think you deserve to take revenge on Dark Moon.”

“Yeah exactly. And we will be right there with you if you decide to.”

“Do you think that is smart? I mean I was useless there. I couldn’t even protect myself.” Allie says as she looks down embarrassed.

Liam lifts her chin up to look in his eyes as he stands up in front of her. “You, my love, are anything but useless. Just because they starved and beat you does not mean that you are useless. It means that they are useless and had to beat you down to keep you from killing them all.”

Josh comes up behind her and places his lips on her ear before she says, “You are a badass baby. We will stand behind you in whatever you want to do but I do think we need to show your parents and father these. Would you be okay with that?”

Allie smiles at them both and nods. “When do you want to do that?”

“I know that you are uncomfortable not having your lotion on so would you be okay doing it now before you put it back on?” Josh asks.

“It’s like 4am though.”

“Doesn’t matter. You are more important than anyone’s sleep.” Josh says with a snicker.

“I’ll go get everyone. Josh, you get her covered up in a robe and maybe an underwear set.”

Both Allie and Josh nod as Liam makes his way out of the room after kissing Allie’s lips. Josh wraps his arms around her again and leads her into the closet. She gets on a bra and panties before Josh wraps her in a heavy robe. They go back and sit on the foot bench until everyone comes back.

Her parents come in first. Their eyes full of sleep and concern. Josh motions for them to sit but no one talks until Alpha Ralph comes in.

Once Ralph and Liam come back in, Liam shuts the door behind them and Josh starts talking. “We know it’s late or early or whatever but this is important and cannot wait.”

“What’s going on son?”

“Allie has kept her scars hidden and we just seen them tonight after she had a nightmare. We think it’s important that you all see the horrible things she has been through. We told her that if she wants to take her revenge, we will back her up and that includes if she wants to attack Dark Moon.”

There is a gasp from Pam as she covers her mouth. “What did they do to my baby girl?” David asks, his tone full of rage.

Liam holds out his hand for Allie to take it. He helps her stand up and Josh pulls the robe off of her.

They all gasp as they see the scars all over her body and then Josh turns her around to see the worst of it and Pam bursts into loud sobs.

“Those fuckers messed with the wrong family.” David says as he is boiling with rage. “I will not rest until every last one of them pays.”

“We are behind you General.” Alpha Ralph says sternly. “Is it only certain people there?”

Allie looks down and shakes her head.

“It was everyone. This one here on her back is all from maids because she fell asleep on one of their beds when she was a fucking child like 9 years old.” Josh says as he points to the worst ones on her back. “She said her back bone was sticking out when they were done after she had been strung up in the tree and then her ‘family’ beat her more.”

“I’m sorry baby. They need to know.” Liam says as he puts his hands on either side of her face and kisses her forehead.

She smiles sadly but keeps looking down.

“From what she has told us it was this so-called family of hers and that Troy asshole that were the worst but everyone did something in one way or another to her.” Josh says.

David and Ralph look at each other and Pam looks to her daughter crying.

“How have you kept them hidden?” Pam asks.

Liam goes and gets the lotion and brings it back then handing it to Pam. Her and David look it over before they hand it to Ralph who looks at it.

“Where did you get this, Allie?” Ralph asks.

Allie looks down ashamed and cannot bring herself to talk.

“Allie please look at me.” Ralph says softly. Allie slowly looks up to him before he continues. “You did nothing wrong. I just want to know where to get you more.”

She blushes and smiles. “Luna Gloria gave it to me.”

Ralph chuckles and nods. “I should have known. This is something similar to a vanity spell that witches do but without the actual magic.”

“Have you heard of this before?” David asks.

“I’ve never seen it in person before but I’ve heard about it. I think tomorrow, today whatever, you three should stay home from school and we need to go meet with Alpha Jasper and Luna Gloria.”

Allie’s eyes light up and she nods. “I will text them.” She says excitedly. The twins chuckle at her as she bounces to go grab her phone.

Allie to Alpha Jasper and Luna Gloria: We would like to come talk to you this morning. Are you busy?

“There. They’ll text me la-“ She is interrupted when her phone dings.

Alpha Jasper: We will be here. Can’t wait to see you daughter.

Allie: See you soon.

She giggles and says. “They will be there. When should we go?”

The twins chuckle at how excited she is. “How about after breakfast?” Josh asks.

Everyone nods in agreement before going back to their rooms.
