Werewolf’s Heartsong by Dizzyizzyn Chapter 202
Werewolf’s Heartsong
*These are human laws, we are wolves.â The Alpha hal said to the Councilman âWirewher have no need to humanize mur lawn.â
âAlpha with all dor respect, you are young, a mere child in age compared to the elders of the werewolf Council. So, you may not know, your Grandfather was the one who had in start humanstring out laws, to better coexist with the growing human populace.â The Councilman had said to Alpha Andrew
Akwa hadnât caught anything after that, she had already made her way quickly away from Alpha Andrews office door. She had been twelve and had just worked up her courage to tell the Alpha about the abuse, after a three day torture session in her parentâs basement. Sarah had been especially inventive with her knives. Alonâs breasts had already been munding out her chest, while Sarahâs chest had remained fat
The conversation she had overheard had stomped all over that courage, because her life would only get worse if she did. Both her parents Clan Alphaâs had already expressed to Alona, just how much they despised such a disgustingly dark colored child being associated with their Clan. They had refused to induct her into either
of their Clan
This meant that Alora had no mind link to either of her parents Clanâs, Alora was never even given a family mind link. They would definitely have tortured her too if they had gotten their hands on her. Especially if she were to have humiliated both Clanâs, by revealing to the Pack that two of their Clans membersâ¦had dared to abuse their own pups.
âIâm tired of hiding it allâ¦and now that Iâm old enough, I donât have to anymore.â Alora said, her voice was filled with both pain and relief
Darien looked at Alora with confusion for a moment, then asked. âWhat does your age have to do with hiding?â
Alora rubbed the back of her neck and looked up at the sky for a moment, blowing out a breath before starting her explanation. âOne day when I was twelve, after I had been locked in my parentâs basement and âpunished⦠If you call being whipped till your back is nothing but raw meat, beaten till your skin is nothing but black and blue, and carved up like a turkey, punishment.â
Alora stopped for a moment, noticing the looks of horror on everyoneâs faces, she nodded before continuing to explain. âI had been brought to the Moonstar Mansion by Damien. I had decided that I couldnât live with being tortured like that again, so I was going to tell Alpha Andrew about it all, but I didnât.â
âWhat happened, why didnât you tell my dad?â Darien asked Alora the question everyone else also wanted to know,
âI overheard a conversation between your father and a Werewolf Councilman before I could.â Alora responded, then she told them all about the conversation.
âOh fuckâ¦now I get it.â Darien said
âGet what? Why wouldnât Alora be okay with going to either of her Parentâs Clan Alpha?â Galen asked.
âBecause being with either of the Clan Alphaâs after bringing my situation to light, I would have been punished severely for bringing shame to both Clans. I would have been tortured just as bad, if not worse, in their households, than I have been staying with my parents.â Alora told them, her tone grim.
âOh my Goddess.â Serenity breathed.
Serenity had tucked herself tightly against Darien, one of her hands was gripping the back of his shirt tightly, the other was placed over her mouth to keep herself from saying more. Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes, but Serenity didnât let them fall. Darien had a broken hearted look on his face.
Galen and Kain both had grim expressions, pain gripped their hearts over what this Alpha female before them had suffered. âWhy?â Kain asked, his deep brogue
filled with emotion.
âWhy what, exactly?â Alora asked him.
âWhy did your parents treat you like that? Why do they let Sarah treat you the way she does? Why would the Clan Alphas blame you? Why would they treat you worse than your parents?â Kain was truly upset, a pup being abused was abhorrent to him.
âIâve asked myself those questions many times.â Alora said, her voice gentle. âIâve even asked Xena once, âWhy does my mother hate us so much? and her response was, âBecause we are everything she fearsâ.â
âWell, that was a wonderfully cryptic answer.â Darien said with a snort.
Alora chuckled at Darienâs sarcasm. âI thought so too. In fact, that answer still annoys me, because Iâve yet to find the meaning of that answer. Mind you I asked Xena that question when I was just nine and delirious from pain.â Alora said in a light tone, trying to be as casual as possible about it. So that the others wouldnât

Chapter 19: The reason
be affected too badly by the things she was revealing
Usrtunately, it dilaât have the allen she hoped. Servruty let out a small whomper, and both Kain and Galen cringed Darenâs expression looked a lntle strained, as he tried not to show the emotions raging inside hon, caused by the details of his best friends suffering Suffering caused by the beings who should have beed, protestul, and nurtured Alora
âAs for the Alphax of the Frost and the Northmountains, well that would be because I was born dark.â Alora received there matching looks of confusion from the Mountaittovers. âDark hair, dark skin, and an unusual rye color that none in either the Frost et Northmountains have *
âWalt what Galen asked, not sure he was understanding what Alora was saying. If she was, then those Clan Alphas were emulating the definition of bigota.
âEvery member of the Frost and Northmountain Clans, wat born pale, with dual blor colored eyes and blond hair. Every single one of them. So, when I was born, I became a dark stam to not only my parents, but to both of their Clara as well. Itâs why I donât have a mind link to either of the Clans or my parents.â Alora told
them
Aloraâs answer once again shocked everyone there. Darien didnât know that Alora had never had a mind link established with either of her parents Clans. If that was not bad enough, not having a mind link to her parents was even worse. Alora was living like an unwanted orphan or guest in her own home.
âYouâve got to be fucking kidding me?!â Darien said shocked. âThey basically made you Pack less and Clan less!â
âIve always had a bond to the Pack, just not my parents or their Clans.â Alora told him. âWhile the bond between my parents and their Clans has never been forged. My bond to the Pack was made at my birth, by both the Alpha and Luna.â
âWaitâ¦why would that have been done at your birth?â Galen asked.
âBecause Luna Ember is the one who gave me my given naine.â Alora told him, gaining shocked looks from Serenity, Kain and Galen.
Darien laughed at their expressions. âItâs true, my momâs the one who named Alora, Alora.â Darien laughed again, this time at his wording. âWhen Alora was born, Bettina and Allister couldnât be bothered to name her, they told their attending physician that they could name her. Not knowing their physician was my mother under the hair cap, scrubs, gloves, and face mask.â
âOh shit.â Kain said in a shocked tone.
âYup, and my mother didnât like how casually the parents of this gorgeous eyed newborn pup had treated that pup. So she decided if she was the one who was going to name Alora, she would do it properly.â Darien told them.
âProperly how? Serenity asked, looking up at Darien with big curious eyes that had him pausing to stare for a moment.
Shaking his head Darien got back on track. âMy mom called my father to the ward, and together, they blended their blood with Aloraâs and claimed her as Pack under the name my mom had chosen.â
âWhy the name Alora?â Galen asked, getting looks of surprise from everyone. âWhat? Like you two didnât want to know.â He said the last in an annoyed tone.
âIn Latin, Alora means âMy beautiful dreamâ or âDreamerâ, in Greek the name Alora means, âShining light. Basically, mom was hoping by naming her something with meaning, it would fill her life with the Moon Goddesses light.â
âI love your momâs reasoning behind naming Alora.â Serenity said to Darien.
Darien smiled and blushed, running the fingers of one hand through his hair, and said, âMe too.â
Alora chuckled lightly seeing how bashful and cute Darien was being with Serenity. Serenity looked at Alora with a conflicted expression. âSomething wrong?â
Alora asked her.
âItâs justâ¦I donât know how to feel.â Serenity said, sounding frustrated.
Tilting her head to the side a bit, her hands in the pockets of her hoodie, Alora asked. âWhat do you mean?â
Serenity seemed to jump in place a little, âWellâ¦today is the best day ever for me, I finally met my mateâ¦but at the same timeâ¦this is the worst day of your life for youâ¦my mateâs best friend.â Then Serenity looked up at Darien, âActually âbest friendsâ is not the right title for what you are to my mate. I should say my mateâs little sister.â
