SWNOVELS Chapter 25
Chapter 25
Jaxon’s POV
She was magnificent. She was a Lunar Princess. To become her Beta would be the greatest honor I could achieve for my family.
My cousins were her friends, I hoped to become one as well, and put in my bid for Beta. Now I’m sure I’m not worthy of the
position. But I would still ask, maybe I’ll be lucky enough she will allow me to serve by her side.
I’m glad I get to watch her fight two others, it will give me more time to admire her power. I’ll be lucky if our fight can last for any
length of time, I want to prove myself worthy of consideration to be her Beta. I wanted to prove I had what it took to stand by at
her side. The power this she-wolf radiated was amazing, and I would only see more of it by being
where she was.
Darien’s POV
I was in complete awe when I witnessed her transformation. She was an incredibly gorgeous wolf, otherworldly. I felt a little guilty
thinking that with my mate not that far from me, but damn, Alora was a Lunar princess. She had Goddess like beauty now. Or
maybe she always has but being covered up all the time it was missed.
When had those markings appeared on her? They had intricate knots all over the wide bands on her ankle and wrist. The
designs of the necklace and crown delicate looking. They looked like silver jewelry laid over her fur, and all they did was add to
the otherworldliness of her new look. That and the stars that had winked in and out of her ‘hair’.
Her fight was over in seconds, and when it was over, the crown and stars were gone. But the braces around her wrists and
ankles settled on her skin like silver, intricate, tattoos. When she sat down next to me after her fight I couldn’t talk, I could only
stare.
Finally she says. “Cat go your tongue.” In a long drawn out drawl, smirking at me as she did so. A million questions start to form,
finally I settled on the first one I think will give me most of my answers. “What the fuck happened while you were passed out?!” In
a whispered yell. I’m absolutely amazed as she explains it to me.
Then I get stuck thinking about part of the explanation that doesn’t sit right with me. The one that has suddenly got me worried
for my best friend and thinking again at what her family has done to her, so I solemnly
0:47 AM O
I ask “Where did the chains come from?” her answer didn’t make me feel any better. “I don’t know, I didn’t even know they were
there.”
Dread fills me with this answer, and I start to think about the Training she’s been doing with Master Brock these last four years.
He must have known something was holding her back, and yet even held back by metaphysical chains, she was able to be First
Rank of the Alpha Class.
I now have a new found respect for my friend, and the power she holds. I think of my brother, he’s going to flip when he see’s her
transformation, and I want to be there to watch it happen, It’s going to be epic. ‘Shit’, I should have gotten a picture. But I’d been
so caught up in the sight of her transformation I forgot. Oh well, maybe next time. 2
Luna Ember’s POV
I’m glad I had started filming the match from the moment she walked onto the arena floor before stepping onto the platform. I
was still amazed at what I had seen. She has been so beautiful, I couldn’t help but smile. My heart warmed at her transformation.
She had told us Xena, her wolf, had pulled her into her ‘space’, so she could process her freedom and accept her destiny and
responsibility as an Alpha she wolf of the Heartsong’s.
Looking at her transformation, and seeing the marking announcing her as a Lunar Princess, brought a whole new understanding
to the words she had said. She had accepted her blessing from the Moon Goddess and was now an acknowledged Daughter of
the Goddess. Her power and status now visible.
Seeing this, it was only now that I realized the marks had appeared on
her skin in the restaurant, but I had been so worried about her at the time I hadn’t noticed till now. The crown and stars that are
visible now wouldn’t be visible on her human form until nightfall. ‘Well, she’ll always be able to tell when it’s nighttime’ I think
amusedly after a moment.
“You got all that on video right dear.” asks my mate. “Of course I did my dear.” I tell him. “Good. You should send that to Damien.”
he tells me. “Damien? Why?” I ask him, although I suspect I know why. “Because I don’t want to hear him whine, when he finds
out from someone else about Alora’s newest transformation.”
‘Yup, I knew it’. “Alright I’ll send it now, and I’ll send him her other fights as well, because we both know he’ll want those too.” I tell
my mate. My oldest probably thinks we are oblivious about his obsession for

Alora. I am his mother, like I wouldn’t be able to tell that he’s been attracted to Alora for years now.
It’s why I had always and still do hope that she’s his mate. It would explain why, at 23, he is still unmated. I knew why Xander, his
Beta was not mated as well. It was because Beatrice had rejected him. I don’t think he knows I know about it. But I had been
walking back late, from the Pack Clinic, when I witnessed it.
Her reasons had not made sense to me, or to him either, because he refused her rejection. We now knew, that it was because
Beatrice had been under a spell that had allowed Sarah to control her, and she had made her reject her mate. It was so cruel.
That horrible she wolf had destroyed the lives of two others and has caused unimaginable pain to many now.
I decide to text Damien now. He
should know to be there for his Beta, Xander was going to need his best friend to help him keep control when he gets this
information, as I’m about to hit send, I stop, now is not a good time for Xander to find out about this. They have their finals in two
weeks.
That’ll be soon enough unless they ask for information before then, one thing I’ve never done is lie to my son, and I wouldn’t start
now. I’ll let him decide when it is the right time to tell his Beta. I delete what I’ve typed, then I send the video of Alora, telling him
she had a rough afternoon but was now obviously doing better.
I figure that will pacify him for a little while, at least till I got his message back. “Mom what the heck happened this morning?
Xander was doubled over in pain, we know something happened to his mate, and he needs to know what. And what do you
mean
by rough afternoon? What else has happened to Alora today besides her being rejected?”
“Oh boy” I say out loud. “What is it love.” Andrew asks. I show him the text from Damien. “Oh boy” he copies. He thinks for a few
moments, then finally says. “Might as well tell him everything. He’s only going to keep pushing till we tell him. Also Xander does
need to know about Beatrice.” He finishes with a sigh.
It took several moments to type up the text, it was long, a lot has happened today. By the time I got done sending the message,
Darien had reached the Arena floor, I raised my camera in time to record him stepping onto the platform. ‘Oh my handsome boy
has grown into a hansom Alpha’ I can’t help but think.
My son’s half form is broad and lean
at the same time, he grew to be nine feet and six inches. His ‘hair’ was black and about nine inches long, his body fur was a
bright almost white silver, his eyes are a neon blue rimed in silver. Like most Alpha wolves his muscles were large and well
defined, but without being overly large. 2
To this day, do to the necessity of continued training, my mate has retained his physique. His body has filled in and broadened
over the years, but he’s still the sexiest wolf alive to me. His son’s take after him, hansom devils making girls swoon and she
wolves pant after them. But they both knew they had mates. So they both left the she-wolves alone.
But I know both of them had taken a tumble or two with human females. I’ve never seen them, both of my boys discreet enough
to have gone a few towns over for their dalliances.
Knowing their mates could be apart of this Pack, and not wanting any strife to come about because they were burning off
hormones. D
I was proud my boys had both been that considerate. Hormones in teenage wolves were difficult to manage. That’s why mates
hardly went to each other virgins, most keeping it to one nights stand out of respect for their future mate. Some didn’t and it’s
come back to bite them. My son’s had seen one such scene when they were young, and it obviously had stuck with them.
