Chapter 85
Alora’s POV
Damien holds me against his chest as he begins his tail about Lucian Blackfire. “It was said that Lucian
Blackfire was a hard hearted, and powerful wolf, who had a heart of stone that none could crack.
Lucian began a quest, to be the strongest Alpha, of all the Clans on and around the Moon Mountain
Volcano. It is said his power had been born of the Volcanos fire and lightning elements, and that he
could harness them.” his voice was deep and soothing. 2
I could listen to him speak forever. “Legend says when he was angry, the Volcano would rumble and
the ground would shake. He went and conquered each Clan, one by one. Never finding his mate
among any of the Clans he conquered. He was uniting each Clan he conquered under one Pack, with
him as the Alpha. Each Clan kept their Alpha, they where just titled Clan Alpha, with Lucian Blackfire
being named, Pack Alpha.” 2
The others were just as entranced by this story as I was. “One day, Lucian was walking through the
forest surrounding the Heartsong lands. Lucian had left the Heartsongs for last, because it had been
foretold to him, that the Heartsongs possessed the Goddesses blessing and protection. Wanting to see
if this was true for himself he went alone to scout their lands, to see if he could find a truth to this. While
in the forest, he heard a song.”
Damien pauses in the story, he rubs his cheek on my head and squeezes me tightly to him for a
moment, then he continues with the Legend. “The song was said to have wrapped him up in an
unbreakable hold, and led him straight to his fated. He stumbled upon a violet eyed, black haired
beauty, sitting by a river singing. It’s said he stood there, watching, listening to her sing till after the sun
set. Then watched as thousands of stars started to twinkle through her hair, and she was donned in a
crown and bracers with intricately knotted designs on them.”
He nuzzles my neck, causing a shiver of arousal to spark through me. ‘Goddess’ it felt so good when
he did that. “It was said that he became the conquered wolf the moment he heard her first note.
Wrapping around his soul, binding his spirit to hers. When Lucian approached the female he went
down on one knee in front of her, and for the first time in his life, begged for something. Her name, and
her acceptance.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Damian had taken one arm from around my waist so he could play with my hair, occasionally nuzzling
my neck. “It’s said that she asked him what he would give up, if he ever had to, in order to be with her.
He told her, he would give up everything he owned, he’d give her his life, soul, spirit, heart and blood to
be hers. After hearing the sincerity in his voice, knowing the words came from his entire being, the
female accepted his claim as her mate.”
Damien placed a gentle kiss on my mark, sending sparks through my blood stream. “Finding out she
was the Clan Alpha of the Heartsongs was a shock to Lucian. To prove his willingness to give
everything to her, he swore loyalty to her. With Lucian by her side, she became the First Alpha of
Alpha’s, while Lucian remained Alpha of the Moon Mountain Pack. It’s said when the couple died at
age nine hundred. They were found in their bed, his arms wrapped around her, they had both passed
away in their sleep.”
He squeezes me tightly to him again for a moment “Their bodies were burned together, their ashes split
between two places. One was at the Heartsong Mansion, the other, here. It’s said that every few
thousand years, the couple is reincarnated. They always bare the same mating mark, the female,
always a Heartsong, the male, always a powerful Alpha.”
He shifts me sideways in his lap. slinging my legs over one of his, raising the knee of his other leg to
brace my back. With a hand on my cheek, he lifts my face, and my eyes meet his gaze. “Now my mate,
are you going to tell me what brought on your questions?”
Damien’s POV
I suspected something was up when my mate had zoned out. Sitting there still, with a glazed, not here,
look to her eyes. It was only for a few moments, then she had snapped back and started asking
questions.
About a Legend I knew by heart and soul. It was a Legend I had first heard as a small pup, and I had
instantly felt a connection to it. I had started to want my own Heartsong too. When I found Alora, our
connection was instant, and the first time I had caught her singing, was by the river.
Her voice had called me to her from the very first note. When I had found who had been singing, I had
been startled. It was my little rescued pup. Ever since I met her, I refused to touch another female.
Zane always felt calm and content in her presence.
He’d also been extremely vocal in his protest of us leaving for the Alpha University. It was only when
we saw how much improvement training had done for her will to live, over that last summer, had he
quieted a little.
It was the reminder, that going away for more training, was the only way for us to become one of the
most powerful Werewolves, that had him reluctantly accepting our leaving. The progress reports the
only way to stay gone.
I’d begun to worry about my obsession with her, but I could never stop myself from making sure she
was at least alive, and hopefully ok. Then Darien had called me one day, telling me Alora had been
missing for days from school.
That had made both Zane and I howl, they had to be hurting our Starlight. I wouldn’t believe she was
dead. Fathers phone call and demand she be returned to school the only thing that kept me from
speeding back here as fast as I could.
Darien had told me she couldn’t stand enclosed places almost at all anymore. That the rooms had to
be large, or she had to be next to a window. Usually an open one, weather permitting. It tore me to
pieces thinking about what they could have been doing to her.
Even though Matt had been the one fated for her at first, she was right to think Matt had never truly
been meant for her. She had always been meant for me. I was her true mate, and I would have
challenged Matt for her if he had accepted her instead of rejecting her.
Now that I had her in my arms, I would give everything to stay by her side. I hadn’t been able to stop
loving on her, while telling them the Legend that I had loved, so much so, it was embedded in my soul.
When I looked at the shape of our marks this morning I had been shocked. They were exactly like the
ones in the painting Dad had, of both Luna and Lucian. The title Luna came from her name actually.
O
A Luna was the Alpha Female of a Pack, my mother currently being the Alpha Luna of Luna’s. My
Alora will be inheriting that title from my mother. For some reason I was sure my mate was always
meant to bear the title of Alpha.
Holding her face in my hand, looking into her eyes, I waited for her to answer my question. She says
nothing at first, then reaches up and gently traces my mark with her fingertips. It felt like she might as
well have been stroking my cock.
Her touch caused shocks to go from the mark straight to my throbbing shaft. Hardening me impossibly
further. If she wasn’t sitting in front of it, everyone would have been able to see just how hard this
female made me.
I had to focus hard to hear and understand her words. “I just had a vision of those two.” this caught me
by surprise.
“What kind of vision?” I ask her
“It was like a past memory. Lucian was holding Luna, they were standing there, watching the sun set.
Luna asked Lucian where he wanted his ashes. He told her, that wherever her ashes were, his would
be. That he would live for her till the day the Goddess called them home at the same time.” she tells
me. The second she talked about it, I could hear and see the moment she was talking about, like it was
my own memory.
I look at her with a new realization. “They professed their love to each other, each telling the other they
would be together for all eternity.” I’m hearing the words they said to each other as Alora talks about
them. “As I was pulled back from the memory he called her his….” she trails of and looks at me.
I finish it for her. “He called her his Starlight.” My voice was husky with emotion.
Then, unable to resist any longer, I kiss my mate, claiming her mouth with my own in a deep kiss, my
arm wrapped around her, crushing her to me. Her arms around my neck, holding me just as tightly.
I felt my world shake, felt something snap into place. I could almost see our bond stretch through time
as again and again we found each other. A power opened up within us, deep and primal.
The heartbeat of the Volcano, and the spirit of the Earth resonating inside us both.
