Werewolf’s Heartsong by DizzyIzzyN Chapter 16

Chapter 16
Serenity’s POV
I watched her cry, the she-wolf who had shown such amazing power just a short
time ago. The glowing happiness I had seen in her at getting praised by the
Alpha’s was gone. I felt almost like the sun had suddenly disappeared, leaving
nothing but darkness and despair in it’s wake. Darien had told us it was her
parents calling when she had first stopped smiling, when they all had stopped
smiling.
Then she answered the phone, and that horrible shrieking began. The things that
voice threw at her, those vile words. How could they? How could a parent say

those things to a she-wolf like Alora. She was such an amazing she-wolf. I had
never believed any of the rumors about her.
I had always secretly wanted to be her friend. I had never approached her
because I was too shy.
She had always been dressed in hoddies and baggy track pants. Hiding her true
self away from everyone. Now I’m beginning to wonder if they were to hide, not
her true self, but something worse. I’d always admired how smart she was. She
was brillient. I don’t know how many people knew she was going to be a Doctor
after finals. She had been taking collage courses.
I knew because my mom was a computer technology professor at the Pack
University, and I was often there to visit with her. I had always disbelieved the
rumors, thinking them fake because Sarah and her cohorts were always the first
ones to start them. But the conversation I had with my mother the day I spotted
her on campus after school hours confirmed that all those rumors, had to be
complete b ul lsh it.
“Hey mom, why is that girl still here?” I’d asked her. “Huh? what girl dear?” so I
had pointed at her. Mother seeing who I was talking about had smiled “Aw now I
know who your talking about. Alora, is special. She is in a doctorial program and
is advancing faster than any student we’ve ever had. She takes two after school
courses every day of the week to accelerate her education. She’s been interning
at the pack lab three days a week for a year now. She’s been taking summer
classes here at the University since starting junior year, And has been approved
to keep her internship at the lab through the summer as part of her accelerated
learning program.” I had been amazed.
Then another thought had hit me. “But, doesn’t she work at the burger place too?
I know I’ve seen her there.” I say.
Mom nods “Yes she does, she’s part time there.”
All I could think at the time was, there was no way the rumors could be true, she
didn’t have time for them to be true. I was glad I never believed them, it had only
made me want to befriend her more. And that day Sarah came at me, I decided to
put her in her place, not just for me, but for Alora too. It had felt great to punch
Sarah.
She has been avoiding me ever since then. After the glow of first meeting my
mate died down enough for me to stop being brainless, and fully realize who my
mate was, I was ecstatic. Darien is Alora’s best friend. I would
finally have a real reason to talk to her and become her friend. That had made me
happy.
When I did finally get an introduction, it was only to watch in horror as she’s
rejected. Her mate Rejected her for that horrible she wolf, and then her sister
goes and attacks her, shrieking that Alora was stealing her male. But Alora didn’t
just accept being rejected, rejecting him back. When she did he collapsed with the
pain of the shredded mate bond.
Good, he should be in pain for rejecting such an amazing she wolf for the p sycho
he chose over her. While every one stood stunned for a moment we all quickly
had shaken it off. I turned around and stood in front of Sarah’s posse and growled
at the she wolves to keep them from -Alora. Darien hovered around me but
didn’t get in my way. (3)
My brother Galen was in front of Matthew making sure he didn’t get involved,
although he was still on the ground pale with pain. Kian grabbed Sarah’s hand to
keep her from slapping Alora any more than she already had. Sarah was then
shrieking, falsely accusing her of trying to steal Matt from her, then spewing more
bile. My brother fired back and put her in her place.
My brothers, Alora, Darien and I all walked to the Coliseum Arena for our training
exams. I got to watch Alora in a whole new way then ever before, her power as a
fighter was amazing! Even when I was worried she would choke my mate to
death, I was still in awe of how strong she was.
To hear those things from this amazing wolfs parent shrieked at her
broke my heart, she deserved to be treated better. I watched as the Alpha had
hung the phone up for her, her tears had been silently falling down her cheeks.
The Alpha then pulled her into his arms and she silently sobbed, breaking my
heart for her even further. 2
I look up at Darien, I could tell from the look on his face that he was just as torn
up about what just happened to her. I reach out and grab Darien’s hand, he turns
to look at me his eyes sad, I reach my other hand up and place it on his cheek, he
nuzzles into my hand closing his eyes. His mom whispers something to him, he
nods his head his cheek still in my hand.
He pulls away after a moment opening his eyes, he looks down at me, his eye’s
still sad. “I need to explain things to your parents.” he said, his voice soft. I nod
and we face
my parents, still holding hands. My brothers were standing next to them. And from
their expressions they wanted to hurt someone, preferably the people who had
made that strong Alpha she wolf cry. She didn’t deserve what has happened to
her.
Darien clears his throat, he takes in a deep breath, lets it out, then begins to tell
us about Alora. With each word said more and more of the horrors Alora has gone
through are revealed. To say I was upset was an understatement. At the end my
mother was leaning into my father, his arms wrapped around her to provide
comfort and support. “Oh that poor pup, how could they? All this…to their own
pup.” it takes my mom a moment to calm down.
“I’m glad she changed her name, every she-wolf with that marking on her hip was
a Heartsong, it’s only
fitting.” mom says. I’m confused for a moment. “What do you mean mom?” I ask
her. “Well the Heartsong females are decedents of the Moon Goddesses
Daughter. The first Alpha, Luna Moon Heartsong.” I had forgotten about that
legend, then mom continued.
At this point everyone was listening, even Alora, her tears dried, her despair
momentarily lifted in the wake of curiosity. “The crescent moon and star marked
Luna Heartsong as the Goddesses daughter. And all the acknowledged female
descended from her bloodline have this mark.” she pauses. “But it brings to
question why Sarah and Alora’s mother both don’t have the mark.” 2
“What do you mean by acknowledged descendent?” Alora asked, “You’ve been
acknowledged as a daughter of
the Moon Goddess and you are meant to bear her next generation of
Heartsong’s.” Alora laugh’s, were confused as to why she’s laughing. After she
stops she explains. “My parents are about to lose the high status they’ve been
enjoying among the family most of their lives, because they failed to produce a
powerful she wolf.”
I’m the one that asks “But you are a powerful she-wolf, why would they lose
status?” she looks at me. “Because I changed my name, I severed my ties to the
family by doing that, I am no longer their daughter, the only one they have is
Sarah.” I connect the dots and start laughing, I had finally gotten it.
The daughter they treated like a princess, the one they chose to acknowledge
and actually care for, placed at the bottom of the training
3:27
structure. She was basically an omega. And the powerful Alpha she wolf they had
abused for all of her life to the point she changed her name so she could escape
them, was the one that could have kept them at the status they’ve enjoyed. That
means they would blame her for their misfortune. I believe the Alpha had already
been aware of the danger to her. “Darien we should go with your dad to help Alora
pack and move. I’ll go up to her room with her so it’ll be faster.”
“That’s a good idea Serenity, you’ll both go with me and Alora after the
tournament ends.” he looks to his mate “Will you make sure her room is aired out
and fresh?” she goes up and kisses him. “Of course my dear.” I look at Alora,
she’s staring at me stunned. “Thank you.” she said. “I could use the help and it
would be nice to have another friend.” I take
3:27 her hand.
“I’ve been wanting to be your friend for forever but I’ve been to shy to say
anything. I’m glad you’re best friends with my mate because now I get to be your
friend like I always wanted too.” she smiles at me, happy once more.

“Hey don’t forget about us, we want to be her friends too.” complained Galen
teasingly
Alora is laughing as she says “I’d like to be your friends too.” the bell rings then.
It’s time to go back in for the next portion of the tournament exams.
