Werewolf’s Heartsong

Chapter 35

Alora’s POV

The Alpha had us all in the same arrangement as before, we would follow him, Serenity and I in her

Jeep, Darien, Kian and Galan brining up the rear in his car. The ride to the Pack House would take

about an hour from here. Fortunately I’ve always paid for my own cell phone, and plan. My parents

never would have gotten me one, and after what happened, had they, they would have had it

disconnected immediately. 9

So when Serenity asked for me to play my music list I was able to connect my phone to her stereo and

open the app. The first song that plays when I hit shuffle is Ride of the Valkyries by Brothers of Metal.

We listened to that a bit turned up, then she turned it down a bit. “You did

what you did to protect us didn’t you?” she asks me. I stay silent for a bit, reluctant to admit it to her, but

I wouldn’t ignore her question.

“I’ve never had so much to lose, an now that I have it, I will protect it with every bit of power and

strength that I have.” I say to her, the next song came on, it was Jungle Juice by Ganja White Night &

Liquid Stranger, she peaks at me.

“I’m glad to be counted as something important to you.” she says with a blush. I let out a small laugh

“I’m glad your someone I can call friend.” I tell her.

“So how do you think the boys are doing?” she asks me. I look back behind us at the boys.

They all seem to be talking, they were smiling, and each looked like they were laughing here and their NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

in their

conversation. “They look like they’re having fun, their male bonding time seems to be a success.” I say

with laughter in my voice. D

Serenity giggles. It’s such a nice day for me, a medium gray overcast, a warm wind smelling of rain,

and the sun still shining through despite the clouds, the temperate a comfortable eighty seven degrees.

The rain scented wind carried the sent of wet earth and flowers. Everything around us was deep

greens, dark browns, and flowers of all colors all along the long road to Moonstar Territory and the

Current Pack House, andother houses.

With the families growing bigger four more large Houses were built, they were set in a way to form a

football field sized courtyard in the middle of them. The Garages for the vehicles connecting the houses

that lead into common areas on the bottom tier, the

second tier above hosted larger common areas, the third opening onto porch areas with half of the

porch covered and screened in with plenty of lounging outdoor furniture.

The court yard had a very tall old willow in the middle, there were four stone benches set in a wide

circle under the tree’s dripping vines. There was a white wicker gazebo that had

climbing vines and bushes of different colored hydrangeas all around, the court yard seemed to be

made up of several different gardens.

There was a pond with a Japanese style walking bridge over it, surrounded by stones. There were

water lilies and colorful koi in the pond. It was visible from one of the stone benches under the willow

vines. There were some trees with blue flowers, some that had purple

leaves for a time, and some with red.

There were so many different kinds of flowers in different groupings, and bushes in all ranges of colors,

I had been told once this place was loosely modeled after the Heartsong Mansion, only the Heartsong

was nearly six times the size of the Moonstar Mansion. The Court yard is said to be the size of six foot

ball fields, the house was five stories and built in the shape of a Hexagon.

I wondered if the bedrooms there were like the one’s that were at this pack house. “So have you ever

been to the Moonstar Pack House?” Serenity asks me, getting back my attention. “Yeah, a long time

ago, do you remember about ten years ago the pack was in an uproar about a pup who was tossed

into the river while it was swollen during the Annual Pack picnic.” I ask her.

“Yeah, they said it was a group of four girls, one tried to claim the pup jumped in on her own to gain

attention. But there were several witnesses who had walked by in time to catch them tossing the girl in,

but not in time to stop it, my uncle was one of those witnesses.” she pauses, she thinks for a moment,

then with a quick look at me before focusing back on the road she asks “Why?” in a slightly suspicious

voice.

I sigh, then say. “Because I was the pup, Sarah and her wicked trio of friends threw me into the river

that day.” I tell her.

She gasps. “Just when I think that bitch couldn’t be any worse, you go and tell me about another one of

her horrible misdeeds.” she said. “Is that the reason you have been to the Pack House before?” she

asks me.

“Yes, after they threw me in I was

swept down stream, by the time I managed to get myself to shore I was battered, bloody and weak.” I

pause listening to the song that was on for a moment, to distance myself from the pain and trauma of

the memory. “I had passed out in the mud, that’s where Damien and the Alpha found me.” the memory

of how cold I had been still managing to chill me now.

“The Alpha dressed in his picnic best picked up a bloody, muddy and wet pup into his arms.” I

continued on with the story. “He carried me back from the river and to Luna Ember, they then took me

to the Pack House where Luna Ember cleand me up and saw to my wounds.” pausing again for a

moment. The memory is flashing through my mind like a movie now.

“I had gotten very sick because of my near drowning, I wound up

developing a high fever for a few days.” I had been so delirious during that time, crying out in my sleep,

begging my sister Sarah to stop, dreaming over and over again about her and her friends tossing me in

the water. “I had been talking in my fever, that’s what first had the Alpha demand the truth using and

Alpha command.”

Serenity gasps, “On Sarah and her friends?” she asks, I nod then continue. “Sarah was the one who

had come up with the story that I jumped in for attention, and made the other girls colaberate with her.”

Her expression had an “I knew it!” look for a moment. “But between my screams as my fever raged,

and a few pack members coming forward, he knew he had been lied to.” 2

Serenity’s face scrunched as she silently mouthed what looked like an

“Oh Goddess.” She motions with her hand for me to keep going. “So the Alpha had all three girls and

their parents brought to the house, and then used his Alpha command to get them to tell the truth.”

Pausing a moment, her expressions were entertaining me, even if the memories were awful.

“The Alpha had my parents punished as Sarah was the ring leader, it caused damage to their standing

in the Clan, so they turned around and blamed me for their misfortune.”

Her mouth gaps open “What! But! It was Sarah’s fault!” she said shocked and angry.

“No. No. You’re trying to use rational locgic here, ya can’t apply rationality to those people.”

She snickers at that. “So what kind of logic do I apply.” she asks wryly.

“The logic you apply is the irrational logic that no matter what it is, it will some how, always be my fault.”

I said dryly.

She let out a quick laugh. “You have got to be kidding me right?” her look one of shocked disbelief.

“Nope, literally everything wrong, no matter how not involved I was, inevitably became my fault.” my

smile sarcastic.

She shakes her head. “There is something majorly wrong with those people.” she said. 2

I laughed, now that I was thinking about it, yeah, there was. The way they had treated me was not

normal, not for a Pack Wolf anyway. The she wolves of this pack were always loving and protective of

their pups, what I had experienced should never have happened.

It was only now that I’m beginning to realize all the damage done to me, it amazed me that I had

functioned as well as I had. ‘Was this the start of my healing?’ I wondered. I hoped so. For the first time

I felt my future was truly bright. There were going to be a few gray clouds and storms, I knew that. But I

wasn’t going to have to ever go back to that house, and it felt so good to finally be free of it.
