Chapter 103
Darien’s POV
My chest stung like a bitch. If this is just a taste of what Alora went through…I didn’t want to imagine the full extent. The nightmare Damien had been pulled into with Alora, her memory of one of her torture sessions at the hands of Sarah, had a new and horrifying meaning to me now.
Serenity was looking at me, her face worried. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her to my side. “I’m fine my sweet, I’m an Alpha, the next Clan Alpha of the Moonstars, it would take more than this to seriously harm me.” I tell her.
She’s still frowning, silent for a moment before she looks up at me. “If she would have gotten to Cathel….” her gaze horrified as she looked at my chest, seeing the deep gash and the blood running down my front.
The dripping blood ruining the already damaged dark emerald green shirt I wore to match my mates dress. It was the same type of shirt most of the males wore. It was because it was dressy and could still display our mating marks. 2
My mates dress was gorgeous on her. It made her look like a wood nymph. It started out a very pale green at the thin straps over her shoulders, then halfway down the deep V-neck neckline it started to darken.
The body of the dress was fitted, a tulle skirt started at her hips and ended at her knees. She wore a pair of strappy high heal wedges in the same deep dark green as the last six inches of her skirt. (13
She wore her long fiery curls in a high tail, she wore simple large golden hoops and two golden chain bracelets, one on each wrist. She wore mascara and a dark green eyeliner to make her green eyes pop.

She was beautiful, and she had a very large heart, so for her, the idea of a child receiving this wound horrified her to her very core. My mate would rip anyone to pieces who would dare to try and harm our pup.
Thinking of that, I put one of my hands on her abdomen. “You will make the best of mothers my sweet.” I tell her, already looking forward to watching her with our pup.
Would it be a girl, would it be a boy, then looking at her brothers, would it be twins? I didn’t know, but I would love it or them, I would protect and provide for whatever pups we have, however many we have.
She looks up at me and smiles, her eyes sparkling with her love, reaching me to my soul. ‘Goddess this she wolf’. I lean down and kiss her, unable to resist showing her my affection, not that I would ever want to. She was mine and they could all know it and keep their hands off. We break apart and pay attention to my father and what he was announcing.
I was shocked when father said Damien wanted Alora to become our next Pack Alpha, but at the same
time I was pleased. It only seemed right, Alora was amazing, she cared so much about others and would make a great Pack Alpha. I never wanted that responsibility, being Clan Alpha was alright. Serenity will make a wonderful Luna to my Alpha.
She was powerful, an Alpha female in her own regard. Then my father had made Allister come forward after explaining things to the Pack, and made him tell the Pack member, of not only his own atrocities against Alora, but the ones of Sarah and Bettina’s that he knew of as well. I had never been so angry.
The ground was trembling under my feet, at first I though it was my imagination. Then looking around at the other wolves I saw that many were shifting around and looking at the ground, some clutching each other for support, the ones holding on to something or someone, were standing closest to Damien’s part of the stage with Alora.
Looking at my brother I saw his wolf Zane peaking through, the ground was shaking at almost consistent intervals. It looked like my brother was really having to hold himself back. O

Looking at Alora’s father, I saw a glow come to his eyes, it was really eerie to see the red start to glow and slowly take over the white of his eyes. There was a shadowy aura that was moving around him in a faint vapor. O
His mates eyes were also glowing, her fury could be seen in every stiff inch that spoke of a Queen who has been crossed, and the results….deadly. Her brothers were all angry, even sweet little Cathel.
I took another look at Cathel, his aura was darker than the Kings, and there was blue lightning that was sparking around him, and a white and black fire could be seen swirling around him every now and then. (2
Feeling a little sore and more like a crispy french fry, then a werewolf, I was able to support myself after a moment. Allowing my mate to reach out and wrap Cathel up in her arms. “Don’t worry Cathel, your sister is safe now, she has us and all of you now. Justice will be had.” she tells him quietly, soothing Cathel. (12
Allister had tried to make and escape when all this started to go down, but Queen Stephanie spoke a quick spell that bound him in place, he was no longer able to move. Once the other two Councils took off with the Black Magic offenders, we got back to who was going to get to dole out Allister’s execution. @
My father looked at Damien and the King, both technically had the right to carry out the execution. My brother is the one who spoke up before my father did. “I want Sarah, the King should have Allister,
I will be satisfied as long as his death is the painful retribution it should be.” his voice holding the growl of his wolf.
My father looked at the King, giving him a nod, and with that the King turned to Allister. “For your
crimes against my daughter, I subject you to the same fate as Bettina.” with those words, and a waved hand in Allister’s direction. He sent out a ring of fire circling Allister, the fire was white, laced with blue lightning.
The fire formed a spiral around Allister, just as it had Bettina. The lightning in the fire struck out, causing Allister to scream in pain as it opened up wounds in his body.
The fire split streams off of the spiral and streamed into the wounds, Allister’s agonized screams were continuous, the fire had his skin boiling and melting off his bones, then it turned those to ash, like Bettina. 14
After the body was gone there were still agonized screams, only they were coming from the twisted black and green soul left behind after the body was burned away. (3)
The black hole opened above the spiral of fire, then it dragged the howling soul with it into that darkness, bringing silence to the courtyard once more.

The readers' comments on the novel: Werewolf’s Heartsong
I'm really enjoying the story but the overuse of "my mate" starts to get old. Also, I understand that it isn't a final edited copy but lot of grammatical and spelling errors that I'm coming across on all the chapters. Is there someone editing this? Is there a way to remove the update references?...
