and in control, and that’s what we would be.
Zane settled in the wake of our mates need of us. Allowing himself to put his need
for violent and blo ody vengeance aside. Maybe it’s time I test my skills against
Master Brock again. It’s been awhile.
Enter title…

Grabbing my mate I pull her close to me, wrapping her up tight. (This novel will be
daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I’ll be whatever she needs me to be, if being
her rock is what she needs, then that’s what I would be.
Kissing her forehead I let her lose, looking into her eyes. They were filled with
remembered pain, and her love of me. One day I hoped we would be able to see
less of that pain, and more of the peaceful happy smile, she had worn not so long
ago. (3)
“You need to eat Starlight, we have training this afternoon.” I remind her. She
straightens up and brightens, “There we go, that’s the face I want to see more
often’ “What are you looking forward to?” I ask her. Quickly putting servings of
everything on the empty plate in front of her.
She looks across the table and smiles at her G amma, Victor. For a moment, I had
a flash of raging Jealousy over her giving another male her smile. 2
It only took me a moment, but I push it down, he’s mated and she was mine. My
thoughts halt abruptly as they, in unison say “Sword Training!” in loud excitement.
‘Sword Training…Why would these two be looking forward to that of all things?’ I
wondered. So I asked “What has you so excited about sword training?” keeping
my tone gentle.
She looks at me, her excitement sparkling in her eyes. “Selena, my Sprite, fights
with swords, I get to let her out, and Victor get’s to let out Nicholas,” she tells me,
joy in her voice. 2
I wanted to promise her the moon if she’ll just keep that look on her face for me.
“Selena and Nicholas got to train with swords yesterday, and it was so fun!”
I still feel a tiny bite of jealousy, but in the face of her joy…it was the easiest
feeling to ignore. “Ok, Starlight, but you have to eat first.” I tell her, wanting her
fed. I knew she was hungry, I could hear the growling in her stomach.
She looks at the plate in front of her, with a frown of confusion. “I put your plate
together.” I tell her knowing why she’s confused. The plate had been empty when
she sat down.
She looks up at me, love in her eyes “Thank you” she says, her voice had a
breathless quality to it.
I smile back down at her “I’ll always take care of you mate.” I tell her. She gives
me a quick peck on the cheek, then concentrated on devouring her breakfast.
I was about to dig into my own breakfast, when my Beta walked in. Xander had
his mate, Beatrice, with him.(This novel will be daily updtaed at
www.noveljar.com) I look for them, and there they were, the mating marks I was
hoping to see. I’m relieved and happy for them.3
I remember overhearing Beatrice once, saying how much she was looking
forward to finding her mate, when she reached the age to do so. She’d been just
a young teenage pup then. Xander had been next to me, hearing it too. It’s why
her rejection never made sense.
Her family always produced really strong Gam ma’s, just as the Bloodmoons,
Victor came from did. Looking across the table at Alora’s Beta and Gam ma, I get
an idea. Looking back at Beatrice I don’t see a victim.
I see a she wolf who has been through a lot and is determined to put it behind
her. Although no one can ever truly forget trauma. I look down at my mate. She
was tortured for eighteen years by the people who were supposed to love and
care for her.
There is a special kind of hell set aside for those kinds of people. I think it would
be a good idea to go find a victims counselor. I want to be able to help my mate.
There is no way, she’s going to be able to walk away from a lifetime of pain and
be okay.
Maybe a counselor can give me the best ways to prepare, and to support my
mate should she need it. I would care for her men tal health as well, not just her
physical and emotional health. She was essentially three beings in one. And all
three have gone through eighteen years of hell, that she has kept it together as
well as she has, shows just how strong she is.
With much still to do, now that I was home, the first thing I needed to do at this
moment though, was see if I could secure myself a Ga mma. “Beatrice.” I say her
name to get her attention.
She looks at me, and see’s Alora next to me, her eyes zero in on our marks, and
a wide smile breaks across her face. She meets my eyes. O
“Alpha Damien, I hope this means you will teach that b itch Sarah a lesson she’ll
never forget.” She says, fire and an inner strength burning in her eyes.

“They will feel my wrath, trust me on that.” I tell her. “But I have a question, how
much of your family’s Gam ma training did you receive?” I asked her.
She looks so surprised at my question. “All of it and then some, often my training
was my punishment for preforming to poorly in public school.” she tells me.2
I frown, “Explain.” I tell her gently.
“My home life, and the training I received from my family, was the only thing
Sarah was not able to take away from me, for which I am eternally grateful.” she
says
“My parents home schooled me themselves in mathematics, physics, business,
as well as the performance of a Ga mma and all that comes with that duty.” My
eyebrows raise at that. “My family holds really high standards for education. The
spell she had me under, was restricted to my public school education(This novel
will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com).” she pauses.
Her look became one of frustrated anger and pain “Unfortunately, my failure to
perform well in public school…caused me a whole lot of grief at home.” her voice
husky, she swallows. “I had to train harder, and under go hours and hours of extra
schooling at home.” she clears her throat,
Xander gives her a glass of orange juice, tears were in her eyes. “I guess I have
to be grateful for that in a way.” she says. “With my parents I have enough
education credits to override my public school’s final GPA, and I could get a
couple of degrees from the University.”
She took a drink. “So she didn’t really take away my education..(This novel will be
daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com). I guess. But my entire school
experience….the one I should have had…is gone. I can’t get that time back, and I
won’t ever be able to gain the rank I dreamed of my entire life.” a couple of tears
fall.
She wipes them away, her look was of determined anger “But I have my mate
now, and I am formally pressing charges against Sarah.” her tone was fierce.
Like my Alora, even with the damage done, she was still strong. It reminded me of
something my mother told me once, when I was so upset over Alora one day.
“A broken person can be infinitely fragile, and at the same time infinitely strong.”
she’d said to me. “Alora may be fragile now, but if we give her the tools, she can
become strong and break free.” she had looked sad. 3)
“But understand that, once broken, there is no seamlessly putting someone back
together, there will be jagged edges, and missing pieces.” she’d told me.
“Support, don’t smother.”
I watched Xander care for his broken but strong female. Handing her that glass of
juice, letting her tell her story. Just being there for her, ready to be what she
needed. I can’t help but feel this was what my mother was talking about.
I will be what my mate needs. I could also provide something that could help heal
some of what was done to Xander’s mate. Zane had already approved of this
decision, his comment ‘She’ll be a strong Ga mma’ all he had said, all he needed
to say.
“I’m glad your educa tion was able to be salvaged, despite the reason it was
brought about, your family still managed to make you a superb Gam ma
candidate.” I tell her, Xander and Beatrice are now looking at me in surprise.
Her expression, showing me her visibly trying to tamp down the hope, I see
peaking through her eyes. “I’d like to formally extend my offer for you to be my
Gam ma, Beatrice Fire Shadowtail.” I say to her.
Her face comically stunned, she reaches up and pinches her cheek, flinching with
a wince. Her eyes wide “I’m not dreaming…this is really happening.” her voice full
of amazed disbelief.
Then she sort of snaps out of it, and looking me directly in the eyes, her shoulders
set, strength radiating out of her, (This novel will be daily updtaed at
