SWNOVELS Werewolf’s Heartsong by Dizzyizzyn Chapter 35
Chapter 35
Alora’s POV
The Alpha had us all in the same arrangement as before, we would follow him,
Serenity and I in her Jeep, Darien, Kian and Galan brining up the rear in his car.
The ride to the Pack House would take about an hour from here. Fortunately I’ve
always paid for my own cell phone, and plan. My parents never would have
gotten me one, and after what happened, had they, they would have had it
disconnected immediately. 9
So when Serenity asked for me to play my music list I was able to connect my
phone to her stereo and open the app. The first song that plays when I hit shuffle
Enter title…
is Ride of the Valkyries by Brothers of Metal. We listened to that a bit turned up,
then she turned it down a bit. “You did
what you did to protect us didn’t you?” she asks me. I stay silent for a bit,
reluctant to admit it to her, but I wouldn’t ignore her question.
“I’ve never had so much to lose, an now that I have it, I will protect it with every bit
of power and strength that I have.” I say to her, the next song came on, it was
Jungle Juice by Ganja White Night & Liquid Stranger, she peaks at me.
“I’m glad to be counted as something important to you.” she says with a blush. I
let out a small laugh “I’m glad your someone I can call friend.” I tell her.
“So how do you think the boys are doing?” she asks me. I look back behind us at
the boys.
They all seem to be talking, they were smiling, and each looked like they were
laughing here and their in their
conversation. “They look like they’re having fun, their male bonding time seems to
be a success.” I say with laughter in my voice. D
Serenity giggles. It’s such a nice day for me, a medium gray overcast, a warm
wind smelling of rain, and the sun still shining through despite the clouds, the
temperate a comfortable eighty seven degrees. The rain scented wind carried the
sent of wet earth and flowers. Everything around us was deep greens, dark
browns, and flowers of all colors all along the long road to Moonstar Territory and
the Current Pack House, andother houses.
With the families growing bigger four more large Houses were built, they were set
in a way to form a football field sized courtyard in the middle of them. The
Garages for the vehicles connecting the houses that lead into common areas on
the bottom tier, the
second tier above hosted larger common areas, the third opening onto porch
areas with half of the porch covered and screened in with plenty of lounging
outdoor furniture.
The court yard had a very tall old willow in the middle, there were four stone
benches set in a wide circle under the tree’s dripping vines. There was a white
wicker gazebo that had
climbing vines and bushes of different colored hydrangeas all around, the court
yard seemed to be made up of several different gardens.
There was a pond with a Japanese style walking bridge over it, surrounded by
stones. There were water lilies and colorful koi in the pond. It was visible from one
of the stone benches under the willow vines. There were some trees with blue
flowers, some that had purple
leaves for a time, and some with red.
There were so many different kinds of flowers in different groupings, and bushes
in all ranges of colors, I had been told once this place was loosely modeled after
the Heartsong Mansion, only the Heartsong was nearly six times the size of the
Moonstar Mansion. The Court yard is said to be the size of six foot ball fields, the
house was five stories and built in the shape of a Hexagon.
I wondered if the bedrooms there were like the one’s that were at this pack house.
“So have you ever been to the Moonstar Pack House?” Serenity asks me, getting
back my attention. “Yeah, a long time ago, do you remember about ten years ago
the pack was in an uproar about a pup who was tossed into the river while it was
swollen during the Annual Pack picnic.” I ask her.
“Yeah, they said it was a group of four girls, one tried to claim the pup jumped in
on her own to gain attention. But there were several witnesses who had walked
by in time to catch them tossing the girl in, but not in time to stop it, my uncle was
one of those witnesses.” she pauses, she thinks for a moment, then with a quick
look at me before focusing back on the road she asks “Why?” in a slightly
suspicious voice.
I sigh, then say. “Because I was the pup, Sarah and her wicked trio of friends
threw me into the river that day.” I tell her.
She gasps. “Just when I think that bi tch couldn’t be any worse, you go and tell me
about another one of her horrible misdeeds.” she said. “Is that the reason you
have been to the Pack House before?” she asks me.
“Yes, after they threw me in I was
swept down stream, by the time I managed to get myself to shore I was battered,
b loody and weak.” I pause listening to the song that was on for a moment, to
distance myself from the pain and trauma of the memory. “I had passed out in the
mud, that’s where Damien and the Alpha found me.” the memory of how cold I
had been still managing to chill me now.
“The Alpha dressed in his picnic best picked up a b loody, muddy and wet pup into
his arms.” I continued on with the story. “He carried me back from the river and to
Luna Ember, they then took me to the Pack House where Luna Ember cleand me
up and saw to my wounds.” pausing again for a moment. The memory is flashing
through my mind like a movie now.
“I had gotten very sick because of my near drowning, I wound up
developing a high fever for a few days.” I had been so delirious during that time,
crying out in my sleep, begging my sister Sarah to stop, dreaming over and over
again about her and her friends tossing me in the water. “I had been talking in my
fever, that’s what first had the Alpha demand the truth using and Alpha
command.”
Serenity gasps, “On Sarah and her friends?” she asks, I nod then continue.
“Sarah was the one who had come up with the story that I jumped in for attention,
and made the other girls colaberate with her.” Her expression had an “I knew it!”
look for a moment. “But between my screams as my fever raged, and a few pack
members coming forward, he knew he had been lied to.” 2
Serenity’s face scrunched as she silently mouthed what looked like an
“Oh Goddess.” She motions with her hand for me to keep going. “So the Alpha
had all three girls and their parents brought to the house, and then used his Alpha
command to get them to tell the truth.” Pausing a moment, her expressions were
entertaining me, even if the memories were awful.
“The Alpha had my parents punished as Sarah was the ring leader, it caused
damage to their standing in the Clan, so they turned around and blamed me for
their misfortune.”
Her mouth gaps open “What! But! It was Sarah’s fault!” she said shocked and
angry.
“No. No. You’re trying to use rational locgic here, ya can’t apply rationality to those
people.”
She snickers at that. “So what kind of logic do I apply.” she asks wryly.
“The logic you apply is the irrational logic that no matter what it is, it will some
how, always be my fault.” I said dryly.
She let out a quick laugh. “You have got to be kidding me right?” her look one of
shocked disbelief.
“Nope, literally everything wrong, no matter how not involved I was, inevitably
became my fault.” my smile sarcastic.
She shakes her head. “There is something majorly wrong with those people.” she
said. 2
I laughed, now that I was thinking about it, yeah, there was. The way they had
treated me was not normal, not for a Pack Wolf anyway. The she wolves of this
pack were always loving and protective of their pups, what I had experienced
should never have happened.
It was only now that I’m beginning to realize all the damage done to me, it
amazed me that I had functioned as well as I had. ‘Was this the start of my
healing?’ I wondered. I hoped so. For the first time I felt my future was truly bright.
There were going to be a few gray clouds and storms, I knew that. But I wasn’t
going to have to ever go back to that house, and it felt so good to finally be free of
it.
