Werewolf’s Heartsong

Chapter 73

Alora’s POV

Watching my very, Alpha wolf, mate step back from his mother’s glare like that had been funny. I had

giggled. I imagine Serenity is going to be just like Luna Ember, with her and Darien’s pups. I was

happy. I had a mate. And It was the wolf I knew I had always wanted it to be, but I had pushed down,

ignored and denied that want. I was already so in love with him.

The Luna keeps me at her side leading me away from my mate. While he is looking at his mother like

she’s keeping him from getting what he wanted. And she was, she knew he wanted me at his side. He

had been clutching me close. So the Luna was doing this to torment her son. I swear I can almost hear

a whine leave him as she takes me away. But it’s only to the kitchen table where a breakfast feast for

werewolves was set.

Luckily, the Luna was nice enough to sit me next to her, with the chair on my other side empty for

Damien to sit in. The disappointment disappeared from his eyes and he practically dove into his seat

next to me. Sending me and the Luna into a fit of giggles. He glares a little sullenly at his mother. This

only made her laugh. Alpha Andrew walked in then.

Seeing his own mate, the Luna, laughing he stops and smiles at her, his love for her shining clearly in

his eyes. I let out a soft sigh and smile at the couple. Damien leans down and kisses the top of my

head. I turn and look up into his eyes, the emotion I see in his gaze can’t be described any other way

then love. ‘Is it so hard for me to believe, that I might actually be worthy of love?‘

He must have seen or felt it, because his eyes while still full of love, had a sad understanding in them

now. “I love you Starlight, more then I can ever say.” he says to me in a soft rough whisper. The sound

sent a whip of fire hot lust through me. I smile at him, grateful he was here again, back in my life, and

now, my mate. 2

“Goddess I’m so in love with you.” I hadn’t realized I had gasped that out till he was kissing me.

“Well now, I’m fairly certain I’ve missed an important development. But judging by the marks on their

necks I believe we now know where our son spent the night, instead of in his room.” said Alpha

Andrew, I feel my cheeks flame to life as I pull away from Damien to peek up at the Alpha.

He’s smiling, laughter in his eyes. The Luna had her chair up against his, and the Alpha had his arm Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

out before you walked in.” she tells him.

“Well from what I understand, Damien was in a very big hurry to make it home last night.” he tells the

Luna,

She looks up at him, Damien stiffens at my side “Oh? And how do you know this dear?” she asks with

a smile.

“Well apparently Damien was in such a big hurry, he and his Beta got pulled over last night.” The Alpha

says. O

I feel Damien shift in his seat next to me, I look up at him but he’s not meeting my gaze and there was

a dark blush staining his cheeks. I begin to smile. “Oh really?” asked the Luna.

“Yes, they had been speeding down the highway at a hundred and twenty miles an hour.” he says.

The Luna gasps “That fast?”

The Alpha nods. “Yes, and when they got pulled over, they were apparently so angry, the Werewolves

who pulled them over nearly wet their pants.” says the Alpha.

Darien spews the orange juice he just gulped and was chocking. Serenity was laughing and trying to

help him by ponding his back. The twins, my Beta and my Gamma, were laughing loudly.

The Luna was giggling. “Now my son what would have had you in such a hurry to get home.” her eyes

dancing with mirth at her sons expense.

He clears his throat, his cheeks a dark red, and shifts in his seat.” I may have….been a

little…..desperate…. to get home to Alora.” he says. This making everyone laugh.

I touch his shoulder, he looks down at me, and sees my smile. “Did you already know?” I ask him.

Wondering if he had know I was his mate before leaving the School. 2

He stairs in my eyes for a moment “Zane told me, the night before I called you.” he tells me, making me

gasp. His hand goes up to my cheek, “I’ve always loved you Starlight, now you are my mate, like you

were always meant to be.” he tells me, butterflies fill my stomach and my heart melts. If it were

possible, i’d be on the floor. The puddle that was once Alora.(

I lean up and kiss his cheek “I’ve always loved you too Damien.” I tell him, feeling the, now permanent,

blush on my cheeks heat more.

We hear a chorus of awes and look up, there they were. The entire family of busy bodies staring at us,

smiling. We were now the breakfast entertainment.

Till I smelt something, wolves can get pregnant outside of their heat, but it’s not common. Smiling,

almost smug, I look at Darien, he looks at me and his smile drops. A look of trepidation enters his

gaze.

“Has anyone noticed Serenity’s scent has changed?” I ask in a teasing tone, smiling like a cat who ate

the canary. Darien pales, then turns and starts to sniff his mate. He sits back with a stunned look on his

face, everyone else is now sniffing her. »

The Luna jumps and squeals in excitement “Oh! I get grandpups soon! Andrew grandpups! It’s finally

happening.” the Alpha chuckles and laughs over his mates antics.

“Congratulations Serenity, we are obviously very happy with the turn of events.” said Alpha Andrew his

tone filled with amusement.

Darien is just sitting there, stunned “But you haven’t had your heat yet.” his tone low and shocked. His

look bewildered.

I laugh at him “Females can get pregnant outside their heat, It’s just not very common, because most

mated females are on a form of birth control, or the male wears protection.” I give him the basic

science lesson of female biology.

He looks stunned and a little guilty “Didn’t use protection did ya?” I asked him, laughing again at his

blush. A

He glares at me then askes “Are you on birth control or did he use protection last night?” he snaps the

question at me.

I smile at him at him. I feel Damien move to look down at me. “No, we didn’t use protection,” I tell him,

Darien looks almost triumphant till I add “Yes I’m on a form of birth control, I made sure just in case

Allister ever tried to rape me again.” the last was given grimly.

Damien was growling, his anger at my statement blasting through our mate bond, I had forgotten I

hadn’t told him this part. I never intended to tell him. Everyone else in the kitchen was silent as they all

realized I had only protected myself from pregnancy, because I had been in the very real danger of

being raped….by the man I had thought was my father for so long.

I look at him, his eyes had shifted to wolf, and he was nearly snarling. “I’m sorry Damien, I shouldn’t

have said that.” I say, his attention snapped to me. His brow furrowed in anger and confusion.

“Your sorry?” he askes. “Why is it you are sorry? They’re the ones who should be sorry!” he snarls. I’m

not afraid, because I knew, and felt I wasn’t the one he was mad at.

No…his rage was for those people…the ones who had treated me less then trash. “They touched my

mate.” The words were filled with rage and pain. The pain at what they had done to me.

I was starting to worry, how much did he know? “What do you know Damien.” I ask, my voice carful.

How much did he know? I couldn’t help but worry again. 2

“I know everything you’ve told Darien and my parents, and of all the events that have happened in the

last two days.” he says. Confirming my worry that he did indeed know a lot, and he had still accepted

me as his mate. (2

I don’t know why I’m shocked, Damien was the kind of male who would have accepted his mate no

matter what. This is just one more trauma those people have left me with.

I was starting to think…seeking out some counseling…would be a good idea. Now that I’m free of

them, I was starting to recognize a lot of my reactions, and break downs, as signs of post traumatic

I guess nobody’s perfect, not even a Clan Alpha.
