Werewolf’s Heartsong
Chapter 27
Aloraâs POV
Today seemed to be a day for reliving horrible things, that have happened to me
in the past. Unfortunately to figure out what has happened and why, I have to
relive the bad, painful, b loody memories. Not a fun adventure. It just further
illuminated how f ucked up and abusive my family has been to me. âWill I ever be
able to heal from the wounds they had all gleefully given me?â I wondered. 2
âHow do we heal from all that has been done to us?â I ask Xena.
âI donât knowâ¦but maybeâ¦? she hesitates.
âMaybe?â I prompt her.
Enter titleâ¦
ï
âMaybe we could talk to Luna Ember?â sheâs still hesitant.
I could understand why she was always urging me to talk to someone, to tell them
what was happening. And while I would talk about some of it to Darien⦠Iâve
never told him about the full extent of the horrors visited on me. I still havenât told
him about what dad did, that one time he was drunk, shaking my head to avoid
that atrocious memory. I focus on what Xena had said.
âI thinkâ¦.you might be rightâ¦and maybe we should talk to the Luna I finally say to
her. I feel her surprise at my words, already understanding it. âI want to heal,
weâre an Alpha now, we need to be healthy m entally.â I pause a moment. âWell as
m entally healthy as we could possibly be, considering all thatâs happened.â I say
the last in a dry tone.
Xena snorts at this last comment. She says in a soft tone âIâm glad youâre
finally going to get us help.â
I think about that for a moment, by denying myself help I had denied her help. I
suddenly felt guilty, I wasnât the only one experiencing the abuse I suffered. She
had too, that suddenly made me realize my silence hadnât only hurt me, âIâm so
sorry Xena, I should have spoken up when you first urged me to.â I tell her.
âYou needed to be able to accept the help too. Besides, weâre stronger now than
any other wolf here, except for Alpha Andrew.â she says. I chuckle at the last bit. I
love my wolf, sheâs so special. âI promise, weâll talk to Luna Ember soon.â I tell
her. I would seek help, not just for me, but for Xena too. It wasnât just me who
needed to heal.
It took Darien sitting next to me, and practically pushing me to the floor from my
seat, to snap my attention
back to what was going on. âS hit, we didnât pay attention to his fight.â I tell Xena. I
struggled to keep from looking guilty as I met his annoyed gaze, and failed
miserably. âIâm sorry.â I finally say after a minute of his silent glaring
âYou didnât pay attention to any of my fight did you?!â Was his questioned
accusation. Cringing, a guilty half smile on my face. âNooooooâ¦..â I draw out the
answer then said in a rush âBut I may know who put the chains on me and Xena!â
I finished brightly, Hoping Iâm forgiven for finding out something we had both
wanted to know.
He suddenly jumps forward and grabs me by my upper arms. With a firm but
gentle shake, he gazes intently into my eyes and says. âTell me everything and all
will be forgiven.â I laugh. âOk, but you have to let me go first.â I tell him. He lets go
of my arms and sits
ANO
back, then wiggles like an excited puppy before whining âTell meeee. making me
laugh more.
There were two fights before his and my second fights, so I had time to tell him
everything Xena and I discussed. Telling him what Xena told me, what the Moon
Goddess had said. Heâs silent for awhile looking contemplative. âI have a couple
of theories about this.â he finally tells me. âOK.â I say. âWhat are your theories?â I
ask.
âSo your mother rejected her destined mate because he was not blond haired and
blue eyed, yeah?â I nod. âAnd because of this she doesnât receive the Goddessâs
acknowledgment like she was going to, and was not allowed to ascend?â I nod
again. âSo her first daughter, the one she rejected her destined mate for, the one
that comes out as desired, is the one that will never be
GMAMO acknowledged by the Goddess?â he goes on. I nod.
âBut the second daughter she is to have will have the blessing right?â he asks,
another nod from me. âSo at that point sheâs probably thinking, thatâs fine,
because she still expecting that youâll come out blond hair and blue eyed too?â
another nod. âBut the message from the Goddess was, the one most like the first
Alpha.â by this point Iâm feeling like a bobble head toy with all my nodding.
âWhen the Goddess told her this she probably was not thinking about what the
First Alpha looked like, just what the first Alphaâs accomplishments were, this
meant you were going to be what brought the family to a high status
permanently.â Nod. âBut when you came out with dark skin, hair and purple eyes,
she was faced with the very reason she rejected her mate for, to avoid producing
a child with dark
coloring.â
As he continues I think I know where heâs going with this. âSo sheâs furious, the
child with the wrong coloring is the one to be blessed by the Goddess, she canât
accept that so she has the Witch bind your powers and your wolf, in an attempt to
deny you your destiny.â he finishes. âYup heâs drawing the same conclusions.
Now Iâm full of questions. But one that nagged me enough to ask out loud. âWhy
didnât they have anymore children after me?â Looking at the fight happening
without really seeing it. Then Darien next to me straightens saying . âOh! I know
the answer to this one.â He said. I look back at him, he turns to face me. âWellâ I
finally say impatient, this only makes him smirk at me.
âPatience is a virtue young one.â He says in a faked wise mans voice,
:50 AM
teasing me further. âSpill it you.â I snap. He laughs at my expense for a moment,
then sobers up. âYour mom got pregnant not even a month after having you. She
was five months along when she was in an accident taking you to a routine well
pup check.â Iâm shocked, I hadnât known this.
âThey had to deliver the pup early. It was a boy, a dark skinned black hair boy. He
didnât survive, the accident had caused the umbilical cord to detach, he suffocated
in the womb.â he pauses. âYour momâs womb never healed right from the injury,
she kept experiencing excruciating pain and heavy bleeding for months after.â he
pauses again. 2
âCome to find out due to the accident, her ovaries and uterus were damaged
beyond werewolf healing, and had to be removed.â I take a moment to process
this, her abuse and hatred of
me starting to make more sense now. None of what sheâs done had been right
though. She never should have rejected her mate. She never should have abused
me. But she did, she had hurt me again and again, over something not my fault.
I started to question how she could have been so discriminating of someoneâs
coloring to reject her mate. It never made sense to me, and it still doesnât. What
made the Northmountains and a faction of the Frosts do this? They were rejecting
their mates for this, for some asinine reason! What had they wanted so badly that
they have done this for ten generations now?
I didnât have time to think about this now. I was up against Lexus now, so I get up
and head to the floor. I push my questions to the back of my head. I climb up to
the platform, strip down, and once more transformed

into our half form. The mummers start again, but not in shock now, theyâre just
appreciative remarks. (2)
Iâm even more proud to be who I am now. Knowing my family tried to make sure I
would never realize, or grow into my destiny. Despite all they did, we still broke
free, with a little help from the Goddess. Darien, the Alpha and Luna playing big
parts in helping me achieve this as well. I will be forever grateful to them, for all
theyâve done for us.
At nine foot two Lexus, a reddish mostly brown wolf, was only slightly shorter then
me. But that didnât matter, he blocked the first kick. The one that would have sent
him flying out of the ring and into the stadium wall. Spinning around I lower my
self in a kick that takes his legs out from under him. He landed on his back. I
follow that up with a powerful fist to the side of his head. Heâs out, another

the side of his head. Heâs out, another match over far too quickly.
I transform back, dress and head to my seat, passing Darien on my way up, this
round is his second fight, âKnock them out.â I say on the way by. He laughs before
commenting. âThatâs what youâve been doing.â I laugh, heâs right, I have been
knocking them out, literally
