Werewolf’s Heartsong

Chapter 21

Alora’s POV

My consciousness became aware of being on another plane. I’m lying on a soft patch of ground

underneath a tall Willow, unlike the ones I see when I go to the river. This tree had deep, plumb purple

bark, and there were bright blue flowers that almost glowed against the dark green of the leaves all up

and down every dripping branch. The grass I was on was short, thick and dark green. It was strangely

soft, like moss, only dry and not as fragile. I look over, I’m next to a stone lined pond, the earth of the

shore around the pond was a deep dark brown, almost black. 2

I get up and walk over, for some reason I’m barefoot here, where ever here was, the dirt was soft

beneath my feet. I look in the pond, the water

is a beautiful deep blue. There was something at the bottom that glowed white, it was lighting up the

water from underneath. There where koi fish in amazing vibrant colors. I look around and It looks like

I’m in a garden of some sort. 3

There are trees and bushes all with glowing flowers in different colors. The smell in the air was sweet

with them. I look up at the sky. It seems frozen in what could either be before dawn or at the end of

dusk. With a Crescent Moon on one side and the Sun on the other. There where glittering stars all over,

the brightest ones in the darkest part of the sky.

The stars seemed to fade away closer to the Sun. I’m wondering where I’m at, it feels peaceful here. I

feel like I can breath properly for the first time. Like a crushing weight was removed

from my body, leaving me feeling almost like floating. But still.

“Where am I ?” I ask aloud, not expecting an answer back.

Only to jump into the air like a startled cat when an answer does come. “Your in my ‘space’.” I turn

around and I face who had spoken. Shocked at what I’m seeing “Xena?!” is all that comes out. She

smiles in that wolfy way of hers. “Yes, we are in my space, this is where I am when I am not with you.”

she tells me. I look around again. It’s so beautiful. O

“This place is so beautiful.” I tell her. “Wait...why am I here?” I asked her. “You needed a place to

process quickly what has happened today, so I pulled you here.” she tells me. “We didn’t have time to

wait for your mind to catch up the normal way. This space is basically timeless, by

the time I send you back you’ll have only been passed out for ten minutes at the most.” I take a

moment to think about what she said.

“We’re free.” I finally say in a whisper. “We’ve just inherited a Mansion.” my voice louder this time. But

saying it out loud helped me to orient myself around this fact. “The Heartsong Mansion is ours now.”

She’s nodding at each fact. Letting me work trough this. “We’re not poor anymore, we actually have

money.” I laugh, hopefully there is an accountant that came with the place. But seeing as it’s been in a

Trust till now, I’m sure there is one.

“We’ve been named Alpha Female of the Heartsong lineage.” that one was a wow, I mean, I’m first

rank in the Alpha Class yeah, but I’m just now about to graduate. I’m barely an Adult. But it feels right. I

feel the

responsibility that came with that title wrap around me like a warm cozy blanket, pulling me back

together. It felt natural.

That’s when I realized this was my destiny all along. I was born to be an Alpha she wolf. Everything I

had been through, what my parents put me through. What my sister had put me through. My drive to

complete school as fast as possible despite all the obstacles. My need to be the best fighter, the

strongest warrior I could be. All of it.

All of it made me the strong Alpha She wolf I am now. I will get stronger, I will do my new title proud. I

was an Alpha she-wolf. My parents and sister will learn to respect and fear my new title. No longer

would they be allowed to touch me. I feel the metaphysical chains that have held me back break. Then

something warm

and glowing fills me.

I look at Xena and ask her what’s happening. “You’ve accepted your true self, now the blessing our NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

mother, the Moon Goddess had blessed the Heartsong’s with will bond with your soul and body. You’ll

have access to your Magic now.” I feel it filling me till I’m lit up like the brightest star, the light bursts out

dispersing in a wave of stardust, it only goes so far before it rushes back to me.

Only the magic settles on my skin in the form of tattooed jewelry. Around my wrists are two inch bands

of Celtic knots, looking down at my ankles there are the same bands of Celtic knots, only the bands

were four inches wide. I go to the pond to see the rest.

That’s when I realized I’m not just

barefoot, I’m naked. I don’t feel uncomfortable though, it’s only me and Xena here. Underneath my

collar bones the silver Celtic knots looked delicately laid against the skin, like a necklace, it dipped into

a V-shape in the middle. Across my forehead was a V-shaped crown with the same delicate scrolling

Celtic knots.

My hair is down around me and looks like it has tiny shimmering stars winking out of the strands. I look

gorgeous. I look over at Xena. She has the same silver makings as me, her white fur is glittering, like

my hair. “Our in between form will have the same markings. While human your magic will only allow the

crown and the stars in your hair at night.” she tells me.

“What’s with the crown?” I ask her. “We are a Daughter of the Moon Goddess, the Crown is because

we are

now acknowledged by the Goddess, making us the Moon Princess.” Oh wow, is all I can think for a

moment.

“So….we’re….royalty?” I finally get out, afraid to acknowledge it for a moment.

She just looks at me waiting. I knew the answer, she didn’t really have to say anything. We’re royalty

that transcended the Pack, all the Packs, not just here on this continent but the world. That’s scary. And

something I’m not going to advertise. No thank you, didn’t want that much attention.

I take in a deep breath to center myself again. I look at Xena, I take the time to look at her this way.

She’s truly a beautiful wolf, her eye a glowing lavender stood out against her white fur. I reach out an

touch her head, her fur is the softest thing

I‘ve ever felt. “You are absolutely beautiful, I’m glad you did this for me.” I tell her still stroking her fur.

“But it’s time for me to wake up now, we have a tournament to finish.” she huffs out a sigh, then nods.

She stands up in front of me. “Close your eyes.” she said. When I close my eyes she touches her nose

to my forehead. Nothing happens at first. Then I feel warmth all over as I’m sunk back into the dark

again.

It was the smell of coffee that was bringing me back to reality. I love coffee, it was borderline addiction.

But I didn’t love just any coffee. No, I loved good coffee. Organic grounds, preferably a dark roast.

Darien called me a coffee snob. Not that I cared, I had told him I just had high standards when it came

to coffee. To which his reply was just one word.

mah. Takich hohnd me laughing

“Snob.” To which he had me laughing all the way to school that day.

I feel the smile form on my face, now fully back in my own body, when I her his voice “See, I told you

this would do the trick.” he gloated. “How did you know that would work?” that must be Serenity.

“Because she’s addicted to coffee, but not just any coffee, the snob has to have organic dark roast.”

was his reply.

I open my eyes and look around, the Alpha had me in his lap, the Luna next to us. She smiles and lets

out a relieved breath when she see’s me looking up at her. The Alpha seeing her expression looks

down, and lets out a relieved breath of his own. “I’m glad your ok and awake now.” he tells me. “Well

someone has to tell Darien I’m not a coffee snob. I just have high standards for good coffee.” Everyone

is silent for a moment, then Darien

looks down at me, and after staring for a moment says that one word. “Snob.” he enunciated it. 3

Then Serenity snorts, she slaps both of her hands to her mouth before she completely breaks down

into a fit of giggles, that had Darien smiling at her. I was chuckling as the Alpha helped me up. The

Alpha and the Luna are giving me concerned looks. I smile at them “I’m fine now. Xena just pulled me

into her space so I could process everything quicker. Saying we didn’t have time for my brain to catch

up the normal way.” I tell them. “I had to accept my destiny as an Alpha she-wolf of the Heartsong

blood line, now I’ve received the Moon Goddesses acknowledgment as one of her daughters.”
