Werewolf’s Heartsong novel Chapter 5

Alora’s POV con’d

“Was that so hard to tell me.” I tease, giving him a friendly jab of my elbow into his side.

He shoves me in my shoulder making me stumble, and laugh when he says “Brat.”

I look at the half smirk on his face at my antics, but I could still see some strain in his face. “What’s got you worried my friend?”

“I’m worried she’ll reject me.” he says quietly.

I look at him a moment before asking “Why would you think she’d reject you?”

“What if she thinks I’m not good enough for her, I mean, what if she doesn’t like me.” I can hear the genuine worry in his tone.

“Relax Darien, your an amazing werewolf, you’re strong, smart and loving, she’ll accept you.” I pause a moment, letting that sink in a bit before continuing. “You would make a loving mate able to provide for your she-wolf and pups, you’ll make a great dad to any pups you have, and your loyal.”

“Thanks, I hope your mate is amazing. You deserve a good wolf to stand by your side and love you.” He says.

“I hope he is too.” I say, but for some reason I feel a kind of foreboding in meeting my mate, a bad feeling I was not going to like who the Goddess chose for me, I feel like I’m going to be in for some excruciating pain. I push my dark thoughts to the back of my mind as I see Serenity’s decked out purple Jeep with lift kit and flood lights pull in to the parking lot. She parks fifteen spaces down from us, her and her brothers are talking.

Galen, has black hair and Kian has red hair that was a few shades lighter then his sisters. They were both huge, broad, and muscular wolves. Both were handsome in a rugged, rough way. You could visibly see the good in them. It was obvious they loved and adored their sister.

Serenity was talking to her brothers, when a large gust of wind sweeps past us, carrying our scent to her. She stops talking abruptly and sniffs the air, the she turns around and looks at us. No, not us, Darien, she had eyes only for Darien.

The look on her face is first of shock, then of wonder, before transitioning into excitement. I look at him and he’s standing there frozen, gazing at Serenity like she was the most gorgeous person he has ever seen. He was no longer paying attention to me.

What was he waiting for? I could see he wanted nothing more then to run to her, then I remembered what he had just feared. I look again at Serenity. No, she’s not going to reject him, she’s going to embrace him, and love him like he deserves, and if he doesn’t go to her now he’ll hurt her.

So I decide to intervene, so my best friend didn’t fuck up his first time meeting his mate. I push him telling him “Run to her you fool, it’s what she wants, go get your mate.” In a laughing shout.

With just that one push, Darien is running towards her, and she to him. They meet in the middle as she jumps into his arms. They’re smiling at each other while he spins her around once before setting her down. Then they say in unison “Mate”.

I’m so happy for them I feel like I’m glowing, I can feel Xena inside me happy for the two werewolves as well. But then that glowing feeling fades as my own reality comes back. Somehow I don’t think my first meeting of my mate is going to be as beautiful as this.

I’m still smiling though, because if anyone deserved happiness, it was those two. Serenity was so sweet that light practically shown out of her, one reason my sister hated her, she glowed effortlessly. It was her soul, she was pure, just like him.

I have a feeling he’ll be able to bring her out of her shell, with as outgoing and friendly as he was. I was hoping that maybe I might now be able to have a female friend that was protected fully from my sister.

Speaking of…as I’m standing there, her two brothers walk up to either side of me. They stare at me for a bit before I look at first one, then the other.

“Something I can help you with boys?” I ask softly. I step away from them and turn my back to the couple so I could look at them. They look at each other, briefly, looks of confusion on their faces. “Ask whatever it is that’s on your mind.” I tell them gently.

Galen’s POV

Kian adds ” Yeah we don’t want you hurt.”

Serenity turns to us and opens her mouth to say something just as a gust of wind blowing towards us, carrying Darien’s and Alora’s sent. My sister freezes, blinks, tips her head up, then as she’s turning around, she is sniffing the air, she freezes again as her eyes lock on to the wolf across the parking lot.

The look on her face changes swiftly all while she stares at Darien. I look at him too, he’s standing there frozen too. The look on his face was a combination of fear longing and wonder. I look to Arora, she was looking at my sister, there was a smile on her face. I wonder why.

She looks then at Darien for a moment her expression shifting to contemplative, then a devilish smile, that for some reason I was finding adorable, lights up her face, and she’s suddenly moving, shoving Darien towards my sister saying “Run to her you fool, it’s what she wants, go get your mate.” and he’s suddenly running to my sister.

I look at my sister just in time to see the joy light up on her face, the she-wolf had been right, that’s exactly what my sister had wanted and then she’s off running to him, jumping into his arms at the last moment, he spins her around once before setting her down I look at Alora as both Darien and Serenity say “Mate”.

The she wolf is smiling, practically glowing with happiness for them, but gradually, I see it dim, but there is still a smile on her face. In her eyes I see happiness for the couple, but also sadness and a wariness.

Like she knows something bad is about to happen to her, and she accepted it, while still being genuinely happy for the couple. The smile on her face, while slightly sad now, was still happy for the couple, despite her own internal pain.

I now had questions, and I knew Kian would too. I look at him real quick, he looks at me. I motion over at Alora with a tip of my head, he nods. So we walk over to her silently. We go around and come up behind her while she watches the couple. She doesn’t exactly freeze, but I could tell she sensed us.

She looked up first at Kian, then to me, before looking forward and in a calm tone, I found confusing, said “Anything I can do for you boy’s” I don’t answer at first. My brother, like me, looked confused at her calm and wary demeanor. I turn back to her. She steps forward then turns around to face us.

Her next question is in that same calm tone. “Ask what’s on your mind.”
