Werewolf’s Heartsong novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74

Damien’s POV

All the emotions tumbling inside my mate, were felt by me through our bond. Allowing me to calm my rage, to push it back. Our mate needed us to be calm and in control, and that’s what we would be.

Zane settled in the wake of our mates need of us. Allowing himself to put his need for violent and bloody vengeance aside. Maybe it’s time I test my skills against Master Brock again. It’s been awhile.

Grabbing my mate I pull her close to me, wrapping her up tight. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I’ll be whatever she needs me to be, if being her rock is what she needs, then that’s what I would be.

Kissing her forehead I let her lose, looking into her eyes. They were filled with remembered pain, and her love of me. One day I hoped we would be able to see less of that pain, and more of the peaceful happy smile, she had worn not so long ago. (3)

“You need to eat Starlight, we have training this afternoon.” I remind her. She straightens up and brightens, “There we go, that’s the face I want to see more often’ “What are you looking forward to?” I ask her. Quickly putting servings of everything on the empty plate in front of her.

She looks across the table and smiles at her Gamma, Victor. For a moment, I had a flash of raging Jealousy over her giving another male her smile. 2

It only took me a moment, but I push it down, he’s mated and she was mine. My thoughts halt abruptly as they, in unison say “Sword Training!” in loud excitement.

‘Sword Training…Why would these two be looking forward to that of all things?’ I wondered. So I asked “What has you so excited about sword training?” keeping my tone gentle.

She looks at me, her excitement sparkling in her eyes. “Selena, my Sprite, fights with swords, I get to let her out, and Victor get’s to let out Nicholas,” she tells me, joy in her voice. 2

I wanted to promise her the moon if she’ll just keep that look on her face for me. “Selena and Nicholas got to train with swords yesterday, and it was so fun!”

I still feel a tiny bite of jealousy, but in the face of her joy…it was the easiest feeling to ignore. “Ok, Starlight, but you have to eat first.” I tell her, wanting her fed. I knew she was hungry, I could hear the growling in her stomach.

She looks at the plate in front of her, with a frown of confusion. “I put your plate together.” I tell her knowing why she’s confused. The plate had been empty when she sat down.

She looks up at me, love in her eyes “Thank you” she says, her voice had a breathless quality to it.

I smile back down at her “I’ll always take care of you mate.” I tell her. She gives me a quick peck on the cheek, then concentrated on devouring her breakfast.

I was about to dig into my own breakfast, when my Beta walked in. Xander had his mate, Beatrice, with him.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) I look for them, and there they were, the mating marks I was hoping to see. I’m relieved and happy for them.3

I remember overhearing Beatrice once, saying how much she was looking forward to finding her mate, when she reached the age to do so. She’d been just a young teenage pup then. Xander had been next to me, hearing it too. It’s why her rejection never made sense.

Her family always produced really strong Gamma’s, just as the Bloodmoons, Victor came from did. Looking across the table at Alora’s Beta and Gamma, I get an idea. Looking back at Beatrice I don’t see a victim.

I see a she wolf who has been through a lot and is determined to put it behind her. Although no one can ever truly forget trauma. I look down at my mate. She was tortured for eighteen years by the people who were supposed to love and care for her.

There is a special kind of hell set aside for those kinds of people. I think it would be a good idea to go find a victims counselor. I want to be able to help my mate. There is no way, she’s going to be able to walk away from a lifetime of pain and be okay.

Maybe a counselor can give me the best ways to prepare, and to support my mate should she need it. I would care for her mental health as well, not just her physical and emotional health. She was essentially three beings in one. And all three have gone through eighteen years of hell, that she has kept it together as well as she has, shows just how strong she is.
