Werewolf’s Heartsong by Dizzyizzyn Chapter 148

Chapter 148

Damien’s POV

Nearing the end of breakfast, Cathel had Sunny’s complete attention. Despite

being abused, and everything we knew of, that she had gone through, she

seemed to have been able to retain her almost child like innocence. We could see

it in all it’s glory as she asked Cathel question after question, and Cathel gladly

answered, asking her questions as well. They were both just so curious about

each others worlds, if I had to use a word, I would say they were adorable.

Asher seemed to look a little dejected about not having Sunny’s full attention

anymore. Zane, having been alert to everything around us the moment we woke,

chuckled. ‘The poor pup…. he’s having to learn the hard way to share.’ He says.

Enter title…



I snort internally at his comment ‘And we didn’t?’ I asked in an a wry tone.

Zane goes still, the look on his face, even as a wolf, was very clearly of

annoyance and offence ‘What are you talking about, I’ve always been able to

share.’ He says in and uppity tone. How a wolf could sound that way, was beyond

me, but Zane managed it.

‘I seem to recall you being overly whiney whenever Alora or Xena, paid Darien

and his wolf Axel a lot of attention, you would sulk for days.’I remind him in an

amused tone. Zane huffs at my comment, but he doesn’t reply.

Once we got back to the hotel, Alora and I got to watch poor Asher, look like his

sunshine was being taken away from him. Sunny had decided to ride with my inlaw’s and Cathel, only because she didn’t want to stop her conversation with the

inquisitive little Vampire, Witch Hybrid. Asher could have gone with them, but he

had questions…questions only Zane had the answers to.

WA

Nathen was with us again. “What town are we stopping in tonight?” he asked me,

as we buckles our seat belts. Making me freeze just as I was about to put the

Jeep in drive.

Thinking about it, I cringe slightly. Where we were going to go to, was a crossover

town operated by a neighboring Pack. The two wolves who had pulled Xander

and I over, the night I claimed Alora, both had Clan’s in this Pack.

I wanted the two wolves to meet Alora and Beatrice, so they would know our

anger at them that night was not personal. We also wanted to offer an apology in

person, Xander and I had already paid the rightfully given fines, and apologized

through the Alpha’s, but it didn’t feel like enough.

WO

“We’ll be staying in another Pack’s territory tonight.” I tell him, Alora is giving me a

suspicious look. She could feel my emotions, so there was no point in hiding my

main reasons for stopping in this Pack’s territory.

“The two wolves who pulled Xander and I over, the night I was speeding to get

back to you, belong to the Pack we’ll be staying with.” I tell her.

She smiles, understanding now why she was feeling, what she was through, our

bond. “You want to

apologize in person.” she asks me, her voice soft and loving. Somehow, her smile

and her voice wrap around me, bringing comfort.

Smiling, feeling at ease thanks to my mate, I say “Yes.” to her statement.

Her smile still in place, she looks at me. “Well we better get going then my darling

mate.” She says, love in her tone.

I put the jeep in gear and off we go. Alora connected her phone to the jeeps deck

and started one of her many playlists. She was in the mood for metal apparently,

not my favorite, but she tolerated a few of my country songs before she had put in

her head phones earlier, so I could listen to her choice in music. Besides, I didn’t

mind what she was playing.

Remembering her actions earlier, I chuckle a little bit. She was okay through a Big

and Ritch, a few Carrie Underwood’s, some Miranda Lambert and Faith Hill, even

singing along to “This Kiss,’ but it didn’t last.

She broke when one of Tobey Keith’s newer songs came on. She sat up and

grabbed her bag, digging frantically through it a moment before coming out with a

pair of JLab ear buds. “This is the best invention ever, noise cancelling ear buds.”

she said brightly. “So you can politely drown out your mates terrible taste in

music.” these last words had almost been sung. O

I had laughed loudly at her antics and told her “Okay my darling Starlight, go to

your happy place.” Smiling, she had put her ear buds in and listened to her own

music, for the rest of the time I had control over the deck.

“What are you laughing about?” she asks me.

“I was thinking about your reaction to the music I played earlier.” I tell her,

amusement in my tone.

She cringes and looks at me “While I love you more than life itself….I truly hate

country music.” she said like she was sorry she didn’t like it. 2

I laugh again. “I don’t mind, It’s not something I absolutely have to listen to, but it

is my most listened to genre.” I tell her. A few lyrics of the song we were listening

to caught my attention. “Isn’t ‘Royals’ a pop song?” I asked her.

“Yeah, but I like Otep’s version too. It makes me want to hear them do a Billie

Eilish song.” I tell him.

I laugh again “You definitely have interesting taste in music.” I tease.

She points a finger at me “Don’t make fun of my music.”

“I wouldn’t dare, I know better. I’m not about to put myself in the dog house.” I tell

her.

Nathen and Asher burst out laughing from the back seat, it takes them a few

moments and a glare from Alora before they sober up. “Your mate sis.” Nathen

breaks off and chuckles. “Is proving to be intelligent.” he says.

“Of course my mate is intelligent…he claimed me after all.” she says, adopting a

haughty air when she says this. I could feel her amusement when her brothers

burst out laughing again.

I wait for them to settle down before looking in the rearview at Asher, Asher,

sensing my gaze meets it in the mirror, “Ask your questions.” I tell him, before

directing my gaze back to the road.

He’s quiet a moment, and a song comes on, one I could feel was a favorite of

Alora’s. It was called ‘The Call of the Mountains’ by Eluveitie, that it was a favorite

made me happy. I had heard it from a fellow students phone one day at the

University, and had sent it to her in a link thinking she would like it. She told me

she loved it, now I could feel how much she did.

Asher asks in a serious tone. “Why would Alora refer to Sunny as a Fae.”

“Because your mate is not fully human, she has Fae blood in her, and carries the

scent of a Sidhe General of the Seelie Court, one Zane remembers fighting next

to in the first War against the Black Magic Coven.” I tell him. “After the first War,

both the Seelie and Unseelie courts ordered all of their people from this plain and

into theirs. When they all went into Underhill, the Kings and Queens of both courts

ordered all the doors sealed, no Fae was allowed out, and no one without the

blood of a Fae was allowed in.”

I glance at him, in the rearview mirror, taking in his shocked expression. “If all

their people were ordered back to Underhill, why is it someone like Sunny exists?”

he asked me.

I glance at Alora just as she glanced at me, we share a grim look. Looking back at

the road I tell Asher honestly. “I really don’t know, all Alora and I have, are

theories.”

“I’ll be doing as much research as I can once we’re back at the Mansion and I can

get into my library. Lucian and Luna were our first incarnations, and apart of that

War, there must be answers to our questions somewhere in there.” I tell my

brother. 3

“Speaking of the Willow tree, do you know where Luna’s parents got the

seedlings for the Willow, because that tree is not a normal Willow.” Asher says.

‘Underhill’ Zane says, shocking me.

“I don’t know, I’ve never really thought of it, I just knew the tree was special.” Alora

says to Asher.

‘Explain Zane.’ I demanded.

‘Luna’s mother was best friends, basically a sister, to an earth Fae from a very

ancient lineage, her family crest was a Willow tree. The earth Fae’s family’s estate

in Under hill had a very sacred Willow that protected their family. When Luna’s

mother became pregnant with her, she declared the Earth Fae as Luna’s

godmother. The earth Fae, with the permission of the Family matriarch, gave a

seedling of the tree to them as a gift in celebration of Luna’s life and her

connection to their family.’ He says, going silent.

There’s more, I know theirs more. ‘What is it Zane, just tell me.’ I say, feeling his

sadness, a sadness he felt for Luna, now Alora. Why, what was it that had him

feeling sad? 2
