Werewolf’s Heartsong novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100

Bettina’s POV

I stood to the back of the courtyard, hoping that man wouldn’t spot me. Why was he here? Was he the important dignitary we were supposed to be welcoming? Then I heard a few whispers here and there one, made my stomach drop “That’s King Sabastian of the Vampires and his Mate, a former Council Witch, she served on the Supernatural Council as a Light Witch Council member.”

The news sent me reeling, this could destroy everything if he or his mate find out about the Black Magic used on Alora. That’s if he knew she was his daughter, if that was why he was here…then I need to find a way to keep him from claiming her as his daughter. Suddenly, the evidence of Alora’s whorish ways Sarah had shown me earlier came to mind.

Sarah had suggested we play it during this gathering, at first I didn’t see a need to, but now. Now we might have to use it. I won’t be able to keep my affair a secret any longer, but I had to keep them from discovering the Black Magic used.

There was another commotion, towards the door, I recognized the male wolf who looked like his father, only with blue eyes, as Alpha Damien Moonstar. Last I had heard, he was still unmated at twenty three.

But there was a mating mark on his neck, and next to him was a dark skinned, dark haired woman, who had the barring of a Queen. She had a matching mark on her neck, displayed in it’s full glory by the gorgeous fitted floor length gown.

It seemed tasteful and elegant, the woman was beautiful. The jewelry she was wearing familiar somehow. She had a crown across her forehead, and when I looked at her eyes I realized who it was.

No…no it couldn’t be…but I look at her more and realize exactly who it is by our next Pack Alphas side….her neck bearing his matching mating mark. They were making their way across the courtyard to that man and his mate.

How could this all be happening?! I look for Sarah, she’s got fury all over her face, but I don’t have time to sooth her. “Sarah, give me that thumb drive with your evidence of Alora now!”

She digs in her purse and hands it to me. The crowd goes silent all around us, the Packs Alpha has taken the stage. Behind the Alpha on the stage is a white screen, the DJ was using it to put on a light show, during the music that was being played while we all mingled.

That would be perfect, we could play it for everyone here. The Alpha introduced that man and his mate as King and Queen of the Vampires, confirming their identity.

He also confirmed that Sabastian knew about Alora being his daughter, the reason he was here was for Alora. Then they officially introduced Alora as the Heartsong Clan Alpha and Damien as her mate, he even changed his name to the one she had. This couldn’t go on, the Clan’s plans would be ruined if they all found out about the Black Magic. (6)

Time to put that stupid little whore in her place.

Damien’s POV

It hadn’t been Sarah who had called out, naming Alora a whore this time…It was Bettina…and my fury rose quickly, causing a tremble in the ground the party guests were able to feel.

Alora cuddled closer to me and I calmed down enough to keep the ground from shaking. I looked at Bettina, the crowd had parted and she was walking forward to the stage.

“What makes you think that you have any right to say that about my mate?” I growled at her, my fury in my tone. The wolves in the gathering started to become nervous, I could smell fear coming from several.

“Oh you poor sweet naive boy, you were hoodwinked by a whore and should reject her immediately, I have proof she is nothing but a whore.” said Bettina.

The way she said her words, treating me like a young pup who still needed an older she wolf to tell him what to do, made me growl low and deep in my chest. But Alora’s hand to my chest had me calming down once again.

“How dare you say that about my daughter and her mate!” The King said in a freezing cold tone that had all those in the vicinity shiver with justified fear.

Unfortunately for Bettina, she didn’t stop there, she kept going. “You won’t want to claim that slut as yours once you see this, in fact I’ll be disowning her.” her tone sharp and vicious.

I was about to attack her when Alora laughed. I looked at her, we all looked at her as she laughed. I was confused, when I touched her through the bond, her emotion was that of shocked disbelief, Her laugh had the effect of stopping everyone in their tracks.

“Why are you laughing you worthless wretch!” Bettina said in a tone very near a shriek.

Alora laughs a bit more before saying “You can’t disown me, I left and had my name changed already. I’ve already disowned you.” then she laughs. The look of fury on Bettina’s face at Alora’s words, did lighten my mood a bit.

“You slut, how dare you disrespect mother in public like that you shameless whore!” shrieked Sarah. And just like that, the ground was shaking again at my fury, until my mate touched me, reminding me of her presence calming me down.

“You need to watch how you talk about my mate, or I will be taking great pleasure in ripping you to pieces.” I growl at Sarah, she looks at me, trembling in fear again, then she seems to pull herself together. O

I meet my mates gaze “Are you sure my Starlight?” I ask her softly, she nods, keeping her expression calm and benevolent. Looking back up I say. “I will concede to my Starlight’s decision.” I said, making sure to adopt the cold, benevolent aura my mate had draped herself in. My words let everyone here know just were I stood with my mate.
