Werewolf’s Heartsong by DizzyIzzyN Chapter 137

Chapter 137
Stephanie’s POV
I didn’t know what to think at the moment, other than I was grateful to have my
mate by my side, and the support of all my children. What had happened between
me and my mother had devastated me. Growing up as a little girl I remember her
unconditional love to my sister, Bulma and I, but my father, he was another story.
In front of mother he was the perfect picture of a loving father, once behind closed
doors he was anything but.
Enter title…

I remember a wing of my mothers estate that my sister and I hadn’t been allowed
in, to do so would incur the wrath of our father. The room with that door Augustus
was talking about had to be there in that wing. The room, had to have been
fathers office, if my sister and I had been born male, I don’t think this would have
happened.
Father had been severely disappointed that he had only two female children with
my mom. He would call us all kinds of vile things whenever he had us alone,
saying we were worthless to him, that we shouldn’t have been allowed to live and
that we were nothing but a burden to him. (2)
That was the main reason for my sister and I making sure to limit any encounter
with our father that didn’t involve our mother. I remember a dinner conversation
when we were little, father wanted mother to set up arranged marriages for us
both, but mother wasn’t having it. She told him that we would marry our mates
when we found them.
Father had been the one to cruelly remind mother of her rejection by her mate. he
had said what if that happened to us. After a moment, she said that if that
happened, we could find and marry a male we liked, she wouldn’t arrange for us
to be married to a stranger. 5
The look on my fathers face at her words was not pleasant, but she hadn’t seen it,
because she was busy cutting up meat for my little sister. It was a little while after
that conversation mom started to change her views. It was almost like she had
been handed a script when it came to some topics, a script she couldn’t deviate
from. The guards who had punished and tortured Bas had been the two who had
always went with my father everywhere, till his death, after that, they followed my
mother around.
All I had at the moment were a few s catt ered pieces of a puzzle, I didn’t even
have all the pieces yet, I had a feeling Augustus was holding the other pieces of
the puzzle. Perhaps once it was finished, I
would find a reason for my mothers actions, I needed closure. Despite everything
that had happened once I met my mate, I still loved my mother. I needed
answers, and Augustus seemed to have them.
“Did my sister open the door?” my tone was grim as I asked Augustus this
question.
“No, there was a compulsion on her as well.” said Augustus, his tone was also
grim “I suspect there is one on you as well, all of them placed there by your
father.” his tone had an edge of anger to it now. “Your mother asked your sister to
summon me, which was good, because I had wanted an excuse to visit your
mother, she was my best friend. I had wanted to know what had changed her so
drastically from the woman I had always known and cared for, to what she
became after her marriage to your father.” he said.
“What did you find in that room Augustus?” I asked him, my voice soft. My mate
was holding my hand and had his fingers laced through mine, he gave my hand a
squeeze in silent support.
“Black Magic.” Augustus says, dropping that bombshell. I’m in shock, I feel like a
stone has dropped into my stomach, and I was instantly nauseated. 2

“I also found the source of the compulsion spells your father had on your mother.
In the correspondence documents we found between him and the Black Magic
Coven, we discovered he was a member of it, and was sent to become the
downfall of the Goldlight’s. He was supposed to father sons who would then sit on
the Council and take it down from the inside out.” Augustus said “When he failed
to produce a male child, it was decided that you and your sister would be married
off to two other Black Magic Coven Warlocks, and they would again try for male
offspring.” he says.
“Are you saying my mother-in-law’s actions towards me were in fact actions by
the Black Magic Coven, not her.” My mate suddenly asks Augustus.
Augustus looks at my mate, and nods “She was under compulsion to marry her
daughters off to pure blooded Warlocks, luckily, she was strong enough to ignore
the one directing their betrothals to be with Black Coven Warlocks. Her belief that
your daughter was an abomination, and needed to be aborted, and her hate of
Vampires was part of the compulsions. It was to keep her mother from ever
finding out what really happened to her fated mate.” He tells Bas.
I felt a sense of dread at those words, this couldn’t be good. “What happened?” I
asked, my voice was almost breathless.
“He was killed, to make sure he couldn’t come back for your mother.” He tells me,
pain in his voice. (1)
“Why?!” I ask, it was almost a scream, I felt agonized over what had been
done to my mother.
“Your mother hadn’t accepted his rejection, there was still a bond, the Coven
didn’t want to leave a ‘loose end’ as they called it, and had him assassinated.” his
voice is rough, there was sorrow on his face.
I felt a wetness on my cheeks, I lift my hand up to touch my face and realize that
I’m crying, there was a small s ob to my left, I look over at K as s and Bella, they
were both being clutched close by their mates, their hands over their mouths,
tears trailing down their faces, their shoulders shaking with suppressed s obs. 2
“They took her mate….” Alora’s soft voice filled with horror and sadness had me
looking at her, she was crying too, Damien was holding her close, his eyes angry
and sad at the same time.
Bas pulls me to him, I turn my face into his neck and quietly s ob into his shoulder,
his arms tighten around me. I can feel his anger vibrating through him,
underneath his anger is sorrow.
“Oh Bas…what do I do?” I ask him in a keening cry.
“We go see your mother, and we forgive her, then we start working on finding out
everything we can about the Black Magic Coven of today, and it’s movements, it’s
plans.” my mate says, his tone firm.
I lift up from his chest and meet his eyes, he lifts his hands up and wipes the tears
from my face gently. “Your willing to forgive her?” I asked him in surprise. 2
He kisses me gently, his eyes softened to a look of love “Your mother’s actions
toward me were not her own, it is unfair to both of you to continue to hold that
against her.” his tone was gentle.
I throw myself back into his arms “Thank you my love.” I tell him.
“For you my darling….anything.” he says.
He holds me like that for a moment, then I lift up and look at Augustus. “Tell my
mother that she has to come to the Castle for Alora’s Registration Ceremony next
Saturday, I want her there.” I tell him.
He looks happy at my words “I will tell her.” he says.
“Mom.” Alora’s says, getting my attention.
“Yes sweetie,” I say.
“Do you think that your mom will let Damien and I into that office, I want to see if
there is anything I can use against the Black Magic Coven.” she says.
I look at Augustus he shrugs “I don’t see why she wouldn’t allow it, she wants the
Black Magic Coven obliterated, so I don’t think she will object to anything that
could help make that goal achievable.” he
said.
I look at Alora and she’s nodding, her tears were gone, in their place was a fierce
and determined look. Alora was angry, the Black Magic Coven coming into her life
once again. Damien looked fierce, his eyes had a slight glow to them, he was
angry too. Both of them looked very dangerous, like it would be the last mistake
you made to mess with them. 2
I felt a sense of pride filling me, my newest girl was so strong and fierce, and her
mate was her perfect compliment. I couldn’t wait to see the wonderful mother
Alora would be to her pups, and Damien, I bet he would be an utterly devoted
father. I look at my other children, and Ka ss and Bella’s mates, and I place a hand
on my abdomen.
My family was growing, and it was about time my mother was here to witness it. 2
