Werewolf’s Heartsong by DizzyIzzyN Chapter 13

Chapter 13
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 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 n ig gling 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.
