Werewolf’s Heartsong

Chapter 13

Alpha Andrew’s POV Con’d

We are all cringing in sympathetic pain. Boris clears his throat. “I believe, Andrew, that your son’s mate,

has thoroughly taught my son a lesson.” His mate looks up at him, her face has a multitude of

expressions, like she couldn’t decide what to think at this point, but she wasn’t angry anymore, in fact I

think she was feeling almost the same as her mate. I look at mine, the look is hesitant.

“I think…that I should agree with Boris on this dear, what about you?” looking at Boris and Lissanna I

nod in affirmation. “I will still be giving him a lecture, I want to make sure he knows well how badly he

messed up.” said Lissanna. “So he doesn’t ever

make this mistake again?” asked my mate. “Exactly that Ember.” Lissanna agrees. We fall silent for a

while watching the rest of the Elite’s battle.

It got interesting, the top two ranking wolves were twins, and Serenity’s brothers. The Boy’s were too

evenly matched, this resulted in a tie between them. When it came to battling her brothers for the top

two ranks, Serenity forfeited, saying she was content with third rank. Looking at her I believe if she truly

wanted to, she could have probably won first rank.

But to do that she would have to cause injury to her brothers, and I sensed that was something that Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

little she-wolf couldn’t stand the thought of, looking at her brother’s I get the same sense. They wouldn’t

ever hurt their sister in that way. Training was one thing, an actual battle was

another.

Ember pulls my arm and is pointing at the screen. Now that the Elite Class human fights were over, it

was time for the Alpha class. “Look at Alora’s picture dear.” I look up and I’m shocked. Alora is always

in lose track pants and large hoodies, even in the middle of the worst heat of summer she would stay

covered. But in this picture she’s not.

She’s in what looks like perfectly fine athletic shorts, they went to mid thigh, her top looked like any

other sports top most of my female warriors wore to train in. I was just in shock of seeing her dressed

like anyone of those other warrior she wolves instead of covered up completely for the first time. But

that wasn’t the only thing different.

She was pictured standing in my

favorite fighters pose. One taught to me as a pup during my training, one I taught my boys, and the one

I taught her. All her long hair pulled back out of her face in one high tail. Her eyes were glittering with

her internal strength, an Alpha’s glare. When had she developed that look? This was not the little girl

pup I’ve known, this was an Alpha she-wolf. O

I look at Xena, she’s braced in a standing attack position. Her long claws spread, her head low. Her

muzzle forward, her mouth drawn back in a fierce snarl showing all her long, shiny, white fangs. Xena’s

eye’s, a glowing lavender, had the same Alpha’s glare her human had.

The combination of both side by side was a powerful image. “Darien took those photo’s.” Ember states.

I look down at my mate. “How do you know?” 2

She laugh’s, “Mate darling, our son has been taking photography courses at the University as one of

his electives. He came home all excited one day telling me how he was getting to take the Alpha

Class’s Tournament Day photo’s for the finals.” she says brightly. 2

“Alora must have taken his, she might not be in the class, but Darien shows her everything he’s

learned. He told me if she’d been in the class she’d be the top student. He said her pictures are pure

art.” she pauses. “Of course it helps they’re both very photogenic.” She’ say’s looking at both of there

pictures.

I notice how good the other’s are, then I started to wonder. “Did he do any of the other class’s photo’s?”

I ask my mate.

“He did the Elite Class. The Mid Level Class and the Reserve Level Class

Photo’s were done by another one of his class mates. They were both given permission to use them as

Senior Projects for their Photography Finals.” I look at the Photo’s again, my wife handed me the

Tournament Guide Booklet.

It has all the Seniors and their Tournament pictures. I flip through the program looking at the one’s my

son had done. They were very good. “I would like to assume he aced his finals, these are amazing.” I

say to Ember. Boris and Lissanna are looking at there own booklet nodding and making noises of

appreciation.

We look up when we hear our son Darien’s name announced, he was up against Lexus Stonemaker.

One of Boris’s nephews. Both of our eldest boys away at collage. They are at the top Alpha’s

University, only strongest

of Alpha’s and Beta’s even complete their training at this school. Few able to complete all five years.

Damien and Xander, however, were graduating First Rank.

They have stayed at the school most of this time. Rarely coming home. Only for the few holiday’s

werewolves celebrated that would be considered major, the summer and winter solstice celebrations.

There were the spring and fall, but winter and summer were the two they chose to visit on each year,

and only for a night. So my mate and I would go to the school to visit them.

The match between Darien and Lexus was over quickly. Darien never lost his smile the entire battle. I

could tell he was having fun. I remember the text from my son in that moment. And I look back at the

Northmountain couple. They were

arguing still. I text Damien “I’ll talk to your mother.” he sends an acknowledgment with “Okay.” I look up

as they announce Alora’s match.

I nudge my mate. “Do you have your camera?” she takes it out of her

purse.

“You want me to record her fight?” she asks.

“Yeah, I want her to have a memento, and I think Damien would like to see it.” she nod’s.

“You’re right.” she gets the camera set up and starts recording.

Alora’s descends to the Arena floor and up onto the platform, her stance and aura that of an Alpha,

spine straight, shoulders back, head held high, eyes glittering like purple diamonds, Alpha’s glare in

place. She was magnificent. “She’s all grown up.”

Ember comments. I nod my acknowledgment. I now know what my son was trying to tell me. She had

told him she wouldn’t hold back anymore.

What I hadn’t realized, was how much she had been holding back. Who knew she was this much of an

Alpha. She steps up to the platform, takes off a really short black cardigan, and a wrap around skirt.

Leaving her in a pair of black athletic capris and a short black tank with purple skulls on it. She takes

the fighters stance and waits for the signal.

She was fast, I didn’t know she had progressed to this level, and she was strong. It only took her two

hits and then her opponent was down and out, she was the winner. The entire crowd was in shock at

how abrupt the match had ended. Then the announcer

declared her win. There was a roaring of victory that spread to the crowd, a tribute to the victor.

Something is niggling at me, and I look down at the Northmountain’s again. There fury and glares at

Alora were murderous. The worry my son’s had expressed, was now in me. “Ember my love,” she

looks at me, then turns to look at the couple too. “How do you feel about moving Alora into the pack

house early?” she’s still looking at Allister and Bettina. “I think tonight would be as good as any.” my

phone dings with a message.

“Dad, Darien thinks we need to move Alora in tonight. He said Sarah looks insane with anger.” and

then immediately after “Dad we need to move Alora tonight, I can’t help but feel something bad is going

to happen to her if we don’t.” this one from Darien. I show them to Ember,

she looks into my eyes.

“Text them back to let them know that’s the plan. It’s no coincidence we were feeling the same.” I do as

my mate says. “We’ll take her to their house ourselves after the exams are finished, you’ll help her

pack her things, we’ll get her moved tonight.” I look at my Beta, he’s looking down at his phone,

Lissanna is looking over to were his son is with worry. 2

“What is it Boris?” He looks at me. “My son sent a text telling me he’s worried about what Sarah’s got

planned for Alora, he said she looks maniacal.” He pauses to swallow. “He said he’s going to try and

keep her attention on him, and asked if there was something I could do to make sure she was safe

from her parents.”

I think for a moment. “Tell him the Alpha is already seeing to her safety,

attention on him, and asked if there was something I could do to make sure she was safe from her

parents.”

I think for a moment. “Tell him the Alpha is already seeing to her safety, and to not be alone with Sarah,

I don’t want anything happening to your son either.” He nod’s and starts texting Matthew back.
