Werewolf’s Heartsong

Chapter 5

Alora’s POV con’d

“Was that so hard to tell me.” I tease, giving him a friendly jab of my elbow into his side.

He shoves me in my shoulder making me stumble, and laugh when he says “Brat.”

I look at the half smirk on his face at my antics, but I could still see some strain in his face. “What’s got

you worried my friend?”

“I’m worried she’ll reject me.” he says quietly.

I look at him a moment before asking “Why would you think she’d reject you?”

“What if she thinks I’m not good enough for her, I mean, what if she doesn’t like me.” I can hear the

genuine worry in his tone.

“Relax Darien, your an amazing werewolf, you’re strong, smart and loving, she’ll accept you.” I pause a

moment, letting that sink in a bit before continuing. “You would make a loving mate able to provide for

your she-wolf and pups, you’ll make a great dad to any pups you have, and your loyal.”

“Thanks, I hope your mate is amazing. You deserve a good wolf to stand by your side and love you.”

He says.

“I hope he is too.” I say, but for some reason I feel a kind of foreboding in meeting my mate, a bad

feeling I was not going to like who the Goddess chose for me, I feel like I’m going to be in for some

excruciating pain. I push my dark thoughts to the back of my mind as I see Serenity’s decked out

purple Jeep with lift kit and flood lights pull in to the parking lot. She parks fifteen spaces down from us,

her and her brothers are talking.

Galen, has black hair and Kian has red hair that was a few shades lighter then his sisters. They were

both huge, broad, and muscular wolves. Both were handsome in a rugged, rough way. You could

visibly see the good in them. It was obvious they loved and adored their sister.

Serenity was talking to her brothers, when a large gust of wind sweeps past us, carrying our scent to

her. She stops talking abruptly and sniffs the air, the she turns around and looks at us. No, not us,

Darien, she had eyes only for Darien.

The look on her face is first of shock, then of wonder, before transitioning into excitement. I look at him

and he’s standing there frozen, gazing at Serenity like she was the most gorgeous person he has ever

seen. He was no longer paying attention to me.

What was he waiting for? I could see he wanted nothing more then to run to her, then I remembered

what he had just feared. I look again at Serenity. No, she’s not going to reject him, she’s going to

embrace him, and love him like he deserves, and if he doesn’t go to her now he’ll hurt her.

So I decide to intervene, so my best friend didn’t fuck up his first time meeting his mate. I push him

telling him “Run to her you fool, it’s what she wants, go get your mate.” In a laughing shout.

With just that one push, Darien is running towards her, and she to him. They meet in the middle as she

jumps into his arms. They’re smiling at each other while he spins her around once before setting her

down. Then they say in unison “Mate”.

I’m so happy for them I feel like I’m glowing, I can feel Xena inside me happy for the two werewolves as

well. But then that glowing feeling fades as my own reality comes back. Somehow I don’t think my first

meeting of my mate is going to be as beautiful as this.

I’m still smiling though, because if anyone deserved happiness, it was those two. Serenity was so

sweet that light practically shown out of her, one reason my sister hated her, she glowed effortlessly. It

was her soul, she was pure, just like him.

I have a feeling he’ll be able to bring her out of her shell, with as outgoing and friendly as he was. I was

hoping that maybe I might now be able to have a female friend that was protected fully from my sister.

Speaking of…as I’m standing there, her two brothers walk up to either side of me. They stare at me for

a bit before I look at first one, then the other.

“Something I can help you with boys?” I ask softly. I step away from them and turn my back to the

couple so I could look at them. They look at each other, briefly, looks of confusion on their faces. “Ask

whatever it is that’s on your mind.” I tell them gently.

They seemed more confused by my calm. But I know what the rumors say, and I know the damage my

sister has done to my reputation with those rumors, and it’s not their fault. I’ve long stopped trying to

dissuade people of the falsities she’s spewed. They never did believe me. But this time…this time I

think, might be different…so I’ll give it a chance.

Galen’s POV

Kian and I had been teasing our sister on the way to school, in her Jeep, saying we would have to vet

her mate before he could claim her. Of course while we were teasing there was a small truth to it, there

was no way we would let some sleazeball take advantage and hurt our sister.

Our sweet sister was trying to put her foot down, but we were aware, unless we crossed her bottom

line, she would never do anything to us. I shivered a little thinking of the last time her bottom line was

crossed. Sarah crossed it, once…only once…and it had been enough.

That stupid she-wolf had bumped into me while walking with her nose in her phone. She turned and

started to yell at me, all kinds of nasty remarks about me and my family started to spew from her

mouth.

My sister very quietly with eyes full of rage walked up to her, and as that she-bitch turned to spew more

of her vileness at my sister, she had calmly drawn back her arm, then decked Sarah in the face. I had

heard a snap, Sarah’s cheek caved in, her eye popped out of it socket as her brow was broken, and

her nose was broken sideways.

We were not named Mountainmover for nothing. We were a peaceful and loving lot, our Clan. But we

were some of the strongest wolves, usually we took on jobs as enforcers for the Alpha. We also did the

mining and rebuilding of the Mountains.

We get to the school and there is only one car here, I recognize Darien’s blue charger, he’s leaning on

the trunk of the car next to Sarah’s sister. A she wolf named Alora. Rumor had it, that they were a

couple.

I didn’t know if it was true or not, along with all the other rumors claiming she was a slut, that she was

loose, and would bang the first thing that asked. But I was doubting the rumors.

First I’m sure they were started by Sarah and her she-bitch posse as I’d seen them all spewing one or

another of those rumors to different people. Second I had caught the she-wolf turning down more than

one male, and a few times she’d had to get violent. That didn’t speak of an easy, loose slut to me.

Serenity parks, her and Kian still going at it. We get out of the Jeep and she says ” You guys can’t

interfere with my finding my mate.” I get back to the conversation, telling her

“We just want to make sure the wolf is good to you.” and say.

Kian adds ” Yeah we don’t want you hurt.”

Serenity turns to us and opens her mouth to say something just as a gust of wind blowing towards us,

carrying Darien’s and Alora’s sent. My sister freezes, blinks, tips her head up, then as she’s turning

around, she is sniffing the air, she freezes again as her eyes lock on to the wolf across the parking lot.

The look on her face changes swiftly all while she stares at Darien. I look at him too, he’s standing

there frozen too. The look on his face was a combination of fear longing and wonder. I look to Arora,

she was looking at my sister, there was a smile on her face. I wonder why.

She looks then at Darien for a moment her expression shifting to contemplative, then a devilish smile,

that for some reason I was finding adorable, lights up her face, and she’s suddenly moving, shoving

Darien towards my sister saying “Run to her you fool, it’s what she wants, go get your mate.” and he’s

suddenly running to my sister. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I look at my sister just in time to see the joy light up on her face, the she-wolf had been right, that’s

exactly what my sister had wanted and then she’s off running to him, jumping into his arms at the last

moment, he spins her around once before setting her down I look at Alora as both Darien and Serenity

say “Mate”.

The she wolf is smiling, practically glowing with happiness for them, but gradually, I see it dim, but there

is still a smile on her face. In her eyes I see happiness for the couple, but also sadness and a wariness.

Like she knows something bad is about to happen to her, and she accepted it, while still being

genuinely happy for the couple. The smile on her face, while slightly sad now, was still happy for the

couple, despite her own internal pain.

I now had questions, and I knew Kian would too. I look at him real quick, he looks at me. I motion over

at Alora with a tip of my head, he nods. So we walk over to her silently. We go around and come up

behind her while she watches the couple. She doesn’t exactly freeze, but I could tell she sensed us.

She looked up first at Kian, then to me, before looking forward and in a calm tone, I found confusing,

said “Anything I can do for you boy’s” I don’t answer at first. My brother, like me, looked confused at her

calm and wary demeanor. I turn back to her. She steps forward then turns around to face us.

Her next question is in that same calm tone. “Ask what’s on your mind.”
