Chapter 60
Darian’s POV
I don’t know what made me do it. But when she got off the counter, I pulled out my phone, and started
to record her transformation. Then everything else that followed, I was glad I did. I got the footage of
her establishing her bond to her new Beta, her Gamma, and her two Enforcers. It was a magical
moment that bound them tighter, than what bound my own Clan, or any other Clan.
I knew who I was going to send this recording to. I knew the security camera in the kitchen caught all of
it, but only from above. Damien needed to see this angle too. The video and audio recording security
camera was why Father usually had all these meeting in his office. Alora hadn’t wanted to go to the
office though, I knew it was because she was comfortable where she had been perched on the counter.
It had allowed her the courage needed to tell us the horrific details of her life. This had worked out in
our favor though, in a way. That was because I was going to send Damien both video’s tonight. I was
wondering how we would explain everything to him, now we didn’t. This would explain it to him for us.
He would have to wait till he got home though, to ask the questions I knew he would have. (5)
I kept the recording going all the way through her explanation of who her father was. I nearly dropped
the phone though as she explained why the Frosts and the Northmountains did what they had done,
and how. Black Magic, they had blood bonded to Black Magic users. This was not good, and I suddenly
couldn’t wait for my brother to be here. We were going to need him.
When she was done explaining, Maximus comes forward. “I retire my title as Gamma of the Heartsong
Clan, and turn over the Clans bonds to you, Clan Alpha Alora Heartsong.” He says.
He holds out his hand and she takes it, and draws a line across his wrist with her claw for him, pressing
his line to hers “I Claim you and your Clan as my own, former Gamma, Maximus Heartsong
Bloodmoon. I accept the Clan bonds into my possession as the Clan Alpha, Alpha Alora Luna
Heartsong.” Alora’s voice layered with Selena’s and Xena’s as she accepts the bonds. I feel the power
surround their connection as the bond switched over to Alora.
The impromptu ceremony was not over yet. She turned to my Father, the Alpha of Alpha’s. She walks
up to him, then kneels down, “I Clan Alpha Alora Luna Heartsong, swear by blood oath my and my
Clans loyalty to you as Alpha of Alpha’s” the pledge every Clan Alpha makes to the Alpha of Alpha’s.
My Father then hands her his wrist, allowing her to draw the line across his, then does hers. He
presses them together than says “I accept you and your Clans blood oath Clan Alpha Alora Luna
Heartsong, I now claim you as Pack” I felt the connection of her and her entire Clan through the Pack
bonds. So much power….I could feel it make our Packs power grow significantly.
The ceremony done, the bonds formed, Selena faded back from Alora. Allowing her to return to her Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
normal form. Her braids that had come undone, when the ties had disappearing, weaved itself back
into those braids, the ties reappearing. Alora standing in front of me with the face I was used to conino
seeing. But she was more now. Truly a Clan Alpha. She has been my best friend since we were ten.
To find out she had received some of those vicious beatings because of our friendship, had shredded
me to pieces. Then she tells us that despite all that, Me and my family, were the very reasons she
survived. She was beaten because of us, but without us would have died. I wanted to cry, howl and
rage at the injustice of it all. Those people were absolutely despicable.
I had to clutch Serenity closer to me, she understood. She could feel my turmoil through the bond, just
as I could feel her sorrow and devastation over more of the horrors, Alora had gone through. More than
what she had told us about earlier,
I was grateful we came into her life, but at the same time, I was troubled by the fact that our
presence….had given them one more reason to hurt her. The reality was however, no matter what,
they would have found another reason to beat her. Like she said, we gave her the tools to survive and
escape those horrible, evil excuses for wolves.
No wonder she denounced them as Clan, not that she ever truly was of their Clan. They had never
bonded her to them, one of their biggest mistakes. But not the biggest, those were going against the
Goddess and treating Alora as they had.
The Goddess would see Justice was meted out, and it looked like Alora was the one who would do
that. ‘If Damien didn’t get to them first’ I thought to myself, thinking of the videos I was about to send
him.
Jaxon’s POV
I had to hold Victor to me as she told her story, every gory detail, burning it’s way into my mind. Never
to be forgotten. Her pain was laced through her voice as she told us everything. How? How had she
been able to survive that? She told Darien, the Alpha and Luna, that they were the reason she was
able to. But…the strength of will she would have had to have found.
Goddess my heart ached for all this female had suffered. My wolf wanted to seek out justice for our
Alpha. Then she had transformed into Selena, her Sprite was magnificent. When the silver marks
appeared, my wolf howled a protest at all she suffered, the proof of a pup’s abuse evident on her adult
body. The shapes of the scars showing the tools used to torture her.
What they had done to her, over and over again, was torture her. How?! I ask myself again, it’s almost
a shout in my head now. The horror this being had been through, and to have survived it. I would give
her my loyalty. Watching my mate kneel, and profess his loyalty to her, I had done the only thing I could
do. Kneel next to him with the same oath of loyalty.
The bonds snapping in place were stronger than the ones I’d had to the Mountainmover Clan. I knew
my mate bond to Victor was stronger, I could feel his emotions. I could feel his love for me already,
spilling into me, filling me up. I couldn’t help but love him back, sending that love back through our
bond, to wrap around him. I felt his pleasure at that.
Then I felt her accept our Clan bonds, felt the power of it. The responsibility of being Beta of the
Heartsong Clan settling around me like a weight, I was meant to wear. She was now officially the Clan
Alpha of the Heartsongs, and my mate was now the Gamma. Then there were the Pack Bonds, I’d
been connected to the Pack before, but not like this. I could actually feel myself strengthening.
To be her Beta was to share in her power, and she was more powerful than I could have imagined.
Being told her father was a Vampire wasn’t as surprising as being told who her Father was. I mean,
who would ever guess, he was THE King of all Vampires. The honor of serving as her Beta greater
then anything I could have dreamed for myself.
I look at my mate. I wouldn’t have found him like this if I hadn’t joined her. Making her the person I
should thank for bringing him to me. My mate looks at me, sensing my gaze on him. I see his eyes go
soft, a sweet smile curving his lips. Taking his hand I draw him to me, my other hand going into the hair
at his neck, gripping him I bring his face to mine in a deep kiss.
After a moment I hear the humming of “Can you feel the love tonight.” Then there’s a snicker, and that
snicker sparked the laughter. My cheeks heated with a blush, and a smile to my lips. I look into my
mates eyes, he’s got a smile too. The blush on his pale cheeks cute. Clearing my throat I look at
everyone else. They all had smiles on their faces.
Darien says “Ok, I can see how funny that was, now that its not at my expense.” laughter in his tone,
this caused another round of laughter. Even if it is at our expense, I could still appreciate the humor. I
had a feeling now that she was free, we would all get to see a whole new side to Alora. With all that
has happened to her, she deserved to have happiness in her life.
The Alpha and Luna explained to us, that we would be meeting in the Pack Training grounds, with
Master Brock at six in the morning. Then after lunch we would receive our crash course in etiquette
with the Luna. Victor would be joining us, because this is something he was already trained for, so he
would help. With the meeting officially over, the Alpha and Luna Departed.
The Alpha told me to keep the Guest room for now, he would have quarters prepped next to Alora’s for
me and Victor. Darien and Serenity headed for their own room. The Twins left with Alora, leaving me
and Victor to our own devices. Each of us needing a break after having such an emotional encounter. I
myself wanted to cuddle my mate, I needed to feel better after hearing that horror story.
