Werewolf’s Heartsong

Chapter 34

Alora’s POV

We take everything downstairs. We got down there just in time to hear the Alpha say I was no longer

apart of this family. I was now apart of his family. My heart burst with warmth at what he just said. This

day still wasn’t over, and I’m still having up’s and downs. I will treasure all those up’s, they have been

truly wonderful.

Then Bettina looks at me, and the look in her eyes makes me shiver. I was right to think I would need to

watch my back, the retribution I saw promised in those eyes made me sick to my stomach. I then look

at Sarah, she had a look of promised vengeance on her face as well. I’ll have to be really careful,

maybe I should see about hiring a Witch. 2

I didn’t know the kind of power I had in me. But it was more than that of a werewolf. I know what the

DNA test said, but ever since the chains have broken I felt another part of myself hidden from me and

Xena. It was making me doubt the results. I’ll have to do another test. I’ll see if the Alpha can help me

come up with a reason to pull a fresh sample from Allister.

In all honesty, I hoped he wasn’t my real father, especially after that night, and the others I was awake

for, but too scared to move. Thank the Goddess for that desk chair, I had finally had an excuse to have

a chair in my room when the school’s required all students to have their own computer. I was given a

hand me-down at first.

Then Darien had gifted me with a really nice laptop, I knew it was expensive, and he had built it himself

.

for my needs. This laptop was a gamers heaven, or in my case a scientists dream. Having a computer,

meant getting a desk and chair in my room. The chair went under the door knob every night since I had

gotten

With as vindictive as my family was to me, I’m glad Darien had given me a laptop, it went with me

everywhere. This kept my family from destroying it, or taking it for themselves. Now I had more then I

could ever dream of having in my possession, and they were going to take every last bit away. The

house, the wealth, my new family, my friends, and my freedom. I could see it in their eyes.

To them I have never been more than a blight, a mistake, a toy they could torment and use as a slave.

Enough was enough, my chains were broken, I was free, and I would never allow

them to cage me again. I would kill them before they could. They were no longer my family. I was a full

fledged Alpha now. They would be made to understand that.

Starting now, letting out the aura as they glaired their fury at me. I felt my eyes take on the glare, I knew

they glowed, and I let the command for submission radiate out from me. Without even speaking, my

command could be felt, they would obey this order. There was something else in me coming to the

front as well, an instinct.

The fire comes into my hands as I hold them up. Then I send it swirling around Bettina, she lets out a

startled “What is this!” In a shrieking voice, looking panicked. Good, she had reason to be afraid right

now. “Hear me Bettina Frost Northmountain.” My voice is mystical and deep my words echoing in the

room.

“You will vow in your blood to me you will NEVER go after anyone I love or care about, no matter how

remotely, you will blood swear you will not be associated in ANYWAY in the harming of ANY of those I

love or care about, no matter how remotely.” my will on her was crushing to her, she would not be able

to break my dictate.

Instinct had me going further “You will swear to me with your blood and on your soul. Should you go

back on your vow, your life and blood will be forfeit as your blood will boil from your body, your soul

refused passage into the heavens.” I finished my edict. The power I was using was not just that of an

Alpha and a Lunar Princess, I know it.

Bettina try’s to struggle a little longer, but she has no choice. Slashing a wrist with a claw, her

blood dripping on the floor, the fire swirling around her. Every one watching with mixed looks ranging Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

from confusion to horror then some of fascination, the horror coming from Sarah and Allister. She

speaks in a strained manner, anger in her tone.

“I vow in my blood that I will never in anyway, on my own or by association, bring harm to anyone you

love or care about no matter how remotely.” she finish’s on a growl glaring death at me. Knowing I’ve

just taken away tools in her path of revenge. But I had to protect them. The fire narrowed to swirl

around only the wrist she opened to make the vow. 3

Part of the fire separated to swirl around the blood on the floor. “Then by my fire I seal your vow sworn

to me in your blood.” I finished the sealing words, I didn’t know how I knew them. After saying them the

fire

on the floor and around her wrist flashed brightly, the blood on the floor being eaten by the fire and the

one around her wrist to sink into her skin.

This caused Bettina to scream and fall to the floor, holding her wrist, the fire leaving behind a circling

tattoo of purple flames. Sarah falls to the floor next to her, hands going to Bettina’s shoulders, she

looks up at me in hatred. “What did you do to her!” she shrieks.

“I sealed her vow with blood and fire, now if she or anyone associated with her,” A say that last pointing

at Sarah. Then continuing. “If she or they come after those I love or care about even remotely, Your

mothers blood will boil from her body, and her soul sent to the neatherworld.” Sarah goes pale, her face

contorted in ugly fury. I was done playing with them. I

.

would keep my freedom, no matter what I had to do to them to keep it. My enemies will learn to fear

me.

They will respect my power, I was not the submissive little wolf pup who had desperately sought out

their love. I was a grown Alpha She-Wolf able to stand on my own now. With more power than I could

have ever imagined for me. I was grateful for it. It was what was going to keep those I cared about

safe. But others would most likely come to take it or use me to abuse it.

I would be on my guard, I’ll have to start gathering those I could trust around me. I would not allow

myself or my power to fall into the wrong hands. Now done with this I look up into the Alpha’s eye’s,

and I was shocked at what I saw. The look was one of proud approval, like a papa wolf seeing his pup

all grown up. Darien’s face was a mix of “Holy

Shit!” and “About Time!”

I turned to look at Serenity who had gone to stand over by the twins when I had started my

confrontation. The bags were at her feet and the three looked like they had been ready to come to my

aid. The twins had looks of admiration and awe, Serenity’s look said I was justified. Looking back at the

Alpha I tell him ” I have everything.” gesturing to the bags “This is all there is.”

The Alpha tell’s the boys to pick up the bags and take them to his SUV, he then looks at me “You need

to do anything else here?” he asks me.

“No, everything I needed to say had been said.” I say, then with a quick look back at them “I’m done

with these people, I just want to go now.” I turn back and look up at him.

He looks down at me with sad

understanding. Then with an arm around my shoulders he leads me out of the house. Serenity already

waiting by the Jeep, Darien had an arm around her as they leaned against it. The Alpha walks me over

to them, they look me over, both trying to make sure I’m okay. ‘Yeah’ I say to myself, ‘she’s going to be

the sister I should have had.

After the way she had stood by me today. How she had moved to defend me if she had to. How she

had stayed out of my way, some how knowing I had needed to do what I had done. All of it, spoke of

someone I could put at my back. I meet her eyes, smiling with my new assurance of her. The smile I

got in return was bright, she knew I had accepted her as my friend.
