The Alpha's Witch

Chapter Nine: Lina's Past

Chapter Nine: ~Lina

When I awake I was pleasantly suprised to see Killian still with me. He was fast asleep and I couldn't help but smile softly. He had actually listened. I then remember last night and his nature towards me.

Always.

I softly chuckle. So many references I could link to that word. I slide out of bed and make my way into the wardrobe grabbing some clothes before going to the bathroom. I felt sore and my mind was continually trying to block out any thoughts of yesterday. As I showered I noticed the water turn red from the blood that had stuck in my hair. An image of the blood from what I did came to mind and I stopped the shower only just maing it to the toilet. My stomach was empty so there wasn't really anything to come up but bile. 

I groaned and shook my head but the image remained. It was then i felt a hand rub my back and a presence beside me. I turn slowly to see Killian there.

"Are you okay?" he asks. 

"No," I whisper back and wipe my mouth on some toilet roll before flushing. I realise that I am compeletly naked and try to hid myself from him He looks at me puzzled before relaising and turns around. 

"I'll be outside if you need me." he mutters before walking out. Getting back in the shower I close my eyes and wash my hair and body thoruougly. When I finally walk out Killian goes into the bathroom. My stomach rumbles and I decide food would probably be a good idea. I hadn't eaten in a while so I carefully made my way downstairs. There was a lot more chatter than I was used to coming from the kitchen. 

I hesitantly made my way in and saw a large group already sitting and eating. Amongst them I see Tate and Graham and make my way to sit by them. 

"Morning," Tate says smiling widely when he sees me. The room quiets and I feel eyes on me but ignore them.

"Morning," I reply.

"Melina..." I hear Graham say "I'm sorry...I really am."

"It's fine Graham, really" I say "I'm not mad."

"Would you like som breakfast Luna?" I turn to see Issabelle looking at me. 

"It's Melina and yes please. I'll have whatevers going." I reply and smile. She smiles back nodding and the room goes back to chatting. This was a little weird and not what I was expecting. 

"Everything okay?" Tate asks.

"I'm not used to being so....accepted I guess...like....the pack dosen't seem as bothered by my presence." I reply.

"Well you are their Luna after all."

"Yeah well I wasn't exactly welcome at my old pack was I?"

"You weren't."

I shake my head and I realise the rooms gone quiet again. 

"Why not?" Tate asks. 

"Because," I reply with a shrug "I'm a half breed. I'm part witch. The Alpha was nice enough to save me...he didn't think I was evil which is why after he killed the clan I orignally came from I was spared. But other than that the other wolves didn't accept me. No one remotley made an effort. I grew up with no friends...like even in group work I never had a partner. No one wanted to be known as the friends with the freak. "

"As i grew up and went to school I began to be excluded from everything. The teachers wouldn't really teach me properly anymore so I basically self taught. I lived alone once I was old enough to. I kinda remind myself of Mathilda. That is literally what my life seemed like, but she got some attention. I didn't even get the bad after a while. I also didn't get a lovely teacher and adopted but you know." The pack laughs a little.

"I was around fourteen when the Alpha asked me to start using my powers for healing. I was stronger than the pack doctor but there was a bit of aproblem and still kind of is...I really don't do blood. I hate it and there was a lot of fainting going on. I still faint now, but mainly when it's my own. It just depends...I can't explain it but anyways that was the only reason people began to interact with me was for healing.

"I became their tool, a pawn I guess. The Alpha knows something that I don't and so do the witches. Something about me as a person and it annoys me. I don't know what....and you know what the Luna was like I like you but I can't show that I do because it's not a good reputation to show to the pack. I guess it wasn't really until I came here and you, Tate, talked to me and made an effort I realised the place I thought was home wasn't really home." 

"They were idiots then." says a voice and I turn to see Killian in the door way. He's wearing a plain black t-shirt that clings to him and loose jeans. I smile softly at him and Issabelle places a plate in front of me. I smile at her and begin to eat. "You're a part of this pack now Lina...I'm sorry too...for how I've acted I guess."

I raise an eyebrow at him and Tate rolls his eyes and winks at me. I shake my head as I hear Killian growl wrapping his arms around my waist. 

"Yeah yeah yours," I mutter and I see some pack members chuckle. 

"Will Melina be going through the offical ceremony to join this pack as our Luna then?" I hear someone ask.

"Yes," comes Killians reply. "Only when the war is over though. It's too risky to do so before hand. I can't risk the chances of this pack losing their Luna once it is offical. It will weaken the pack and most likely cause more harm to us all. For that reason Melina is staying unmarked but that in no means allows anyone to touch what is mine."

"Yes Alpha." everyone mutters. 

"So now we know your past I guess." Tate says.

"Yep. Not much to it really. My life's kinda mundane. Or at least it was...."

---------------------------------

The day goes by with Killian introducing me to other pack members and invovled me smiling a lot. 

"Ugh." I say flopping onto the bed once we finally make it back to the house. 

"Can we talk?" I hear Killian say and I groan. "Lina.." he starts.

"Please do not Lina me. Everytime one of us says we need to talk we argue and you go biopolar and become a major ass hole and then fuck whatever we have up even more and I really can't be bothered for it. I'm tired of arguing and I am scared of the future and what it holds okay?"

"I know...I wanted to talk about what happened when you were taken by the witches." he replies calmly and sits next to me. I freeze as the memories of it all flood my system and I hear heavy breathing. It takes a minute to realise it's mine.

"Lina calm down." I hear a voice say before arms pull me into a hard chest. 

"I...I can't plase don't...don't make me go back to those memories."

I hear him sigh but feel him nod. 

"I'm sorry." he says "I just....this is tough for me Lina...really tough. My past was not good...the witches did so much to me and my family. I need for us wolves to win this war. I need it....otherwise...."

"What happened?" I feel myself ask.

"I..." he says trailing off his body tensing. 

"I told you my past..." I whisper.

"Fine..."he says rather coldly "But it isn't pretty."

A/N: So I have a load of coursework due in and I have like 5 weeks to get it all sorted so I don't know when I will be updating or how long till I next update. I realise my updates are rather irregular but that's because I usually use any free time like break and lunch in school to write these chapters. I also use my 'study' sessions. I won't be able to use them anymore though as I need to start revising for my final exams on top of all this coursework though. So yeah...anyways I hope you enjoyed and feel free to comment vote or message me about anything going on. :)
