Chapter 48: Aurora P.O.V
My chest beat against my chest. The organ beating my ribs in a painful beat. I couldn't breathe, everything in the room had been spining while I held onto Lucas, "I-I can't breathe." I whispered. he pulled me against his body, my chest facing upword, "You have to breathe slowly." he cooed, moving pieces of hair out of my face. He mimicked what I should be doing, but he made it seem so easy. It sounded easy, but no amount of deep breathing seemed to give me enough oxygen, I felt like I was suffocating.

"Aurora, I promise that we will figure this out, together but you have to breathe for me." he whispered, rocking me back and forth. He continued to breathe slowly and I tried to follow. I nodded my head and continued to hold his hand while I focused on the way his heart beta was slow and steady to match his breathing.

"I- I'm sorry, Lucas." I whispered, looking up at his ceiling while I tried to figure everything out.

"Well we learned your home life is a trigger for you and there is nothing to be sorry about. We love you but I thought you should know the truth. Levi and Liam wanted to figure out more before they told you but their is a possibility that since you feel safe your memories might start coming back. I want you to know you can always come to me, love." He smiled, stroking my hand. I sighed, " I feel safe, now." I whsipered, chanting the phrase like a magical drug.

"Your safe baby." he whispered, kissing my cheek. I nodded my head and closed my eyes so I could enjoy this moment in his arms befoe we decided to get up and start doing things.

"Lucas, I'm sorry that you had to live through and see some of my memories." I whispered. I know from Levi that living through some of my memories can be extremely difficult for them. I was worried that Lucas would look at my different but he hasn't. If anything he has allowed me to see more of his sweet and endearing side than anything, it made me feel so special and loved.

"I'm sorry that we weren't better Alpha's. If something as bad as that can happen in a prominent family so close to the Alpha's.. How many other families are doing the same thing to their children? How many children go to school and fear coming home? How many think about dying on a basis so continuous that it's part of their routine?" Lucas whispered, ranting about the abuse I went through but the truth is that he is right.

"What if we started something to protect the kids?" I asked, curious about his thoughts on the matter.

"What do you mean? How?" he asked, lighting up and turning me so that I was facing him.

"If you set me up with the right people... maybe I could arrange something with your mom so werewolves in school are regularly checked up on and if there are any triggers or warnings the kids are taken out of the home and into a facility." I shrugged off, that would have been a lot safer than trying to go to a teacher and explain that my parents whipped me until I could barely walk.

"Something like that could work but what kind of facility. Who do you need so we can start this? Can I bring my brothers in?" lucas shot off question after question like a little kid. It made my heart all warm and fuzzy that he genuinely wanted to fix a problem that I grew up with.

"Let's talk to my mate's first." I whsipered, kissing his cheek and getting up off of the bench. He practically ran to the door and opened it for me, "But first I am going to change in your moms room and you need to get dressed too." I smiled, giggling at his intensity to fix a problem in the pack.

'Okay, you remember it's just down hall?" he asked, I nodded my head and walked down the hall. Can't believe I would be going to my mate's mom with shower bed head and her sons newest mate mark while I'm in boxers and a tshirt. She's going to think so badly of me. I walked down the hall nontheless and knocked on the door, "Hello aurora!" She smiled, opening the door for me and I walked in. She looked so pretty in her light pink silk robe and light make up.

"I was wondering if I could get dressed in here again. Your amazing sons haven't really set me up with anything yet..." I smiled, waiting to gauge any type fo reaction that she might have for me. Is that the type of thing they expected me to figure out?

"Of course my dear!" She msiled, ushering me towards the closet.

"How on earth did you get lucas up before lunch?" She raised an eyebrow and I laughed hysterically. She is a mother and a Luna before nothing else an dit warmed my heart.

"We have a project to discuss with his brother's." I explained, grabbing a pair of jeans and a tshirt.

"Oh, sweetheart. You have so much to learn. When women want a man to do somethign for her, we show the goodies. We don;t hide them." She winked at me and my eyes turned the size of saucers with bright red cheeks. Did the graceful Luna just tell me to show my body to get her sons to do what I want? I'm freaking baffled. When I refocused she was pulling out a a black off the shoulder dress that went out at the hips, it had long sleeves.The dresses ended at my upper thigh and then she pulled out some cute black sheer stockings and black heels.

"How are they suppose to focus if I'm dressed like this?" I asked, I wanted the boys focused on the project so they would say yes to it.

"They don't, but they will say yes." She smiled, handing me the clothes and then wlaking me back into the bedroom. After I finally threw the clothes on she handed me a small gold pendant necklace and curled my hair in a half up-half down look. Looking in the mirror she put some earrings in my ears and shooed me out the door.

"Give them hell and don't forget to bend over and fix your heels sweetheart." She smiled sweetly like she didn't just tell me to give her sons a show.
