Werewolf’s Heartsong novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Alora’s POV cont’d

I bit my lip and transformed, I wasn’t going to let this small hiccup keep me from enjoying a battle with my father. I look forward at my Fathers spite. He was tall and handsome as a sprite, broad and powerful, and I looked exactly like him, black hair and violet eyes, only he had no stars and Luna regalia. The crowd around me gasped in shock, and some in horror.

“Oh my Goddess.” was quickly said by the fourth announcer, the only female, her tone…horrified.

“Who would…” was the second, his tone was one of disbelief.

“Oh Alpha…” was the pained gasp from the third.

“Why?” asked the first announcer, his tone also pained.

“How old is she?” Demanded the second announcer.

“She’s only eighteen, this is all wounds to a pup.” said the fourth one quickly, anger starting to come into her tone. 2

“An explanation has been posted on the Pack forum.” said the third one grimly.

There was movement everywhere, wolves scrambled for their phones or tablets to look up the information. They needed to know this anyway, they all needed to know.

“Are you okay?” Deimos asked, his voice a deep echoing bell.

“I’m fine, they needed to know anyway” We tell him in our echoing mystical voice.

“Okay my sweet girl, you want to battle hand to hand with magic or with swords and magic?” he asks

“I want to battle with swords.” we say to him.

He looks in the direction of where we were seated, having a silent conversation. Then above each of us a different colored circle of enchantment appears, out of those enchantments come two beautifully crafted long swords with the same family crest on the hilts for each of us. I reached up and grabbed my two, the moment I touched them I felt them bonding to me, like they were always meant to be mine.

“I had those two swords crafted when I first felt your life chain, when I was told of your death I left the name engravings blank, Bettina told me she hadn’t named you. How did you get your names?” he asked us.

“The Luna was the attending physician when I was born, she was the one who caught me as I was birthed. I was told that she was the one who cleaned me up and cut my cord. From the moment of my birth my mother didn’t even want to acknowledge me.” There were gasps of horror from the Pack.”

“The story goes that when the Luna asked what she wanted to name me, my mother had told her ‘You pick, I don’t care what’s put down’.” There were more murmurs from the crowd, they were saddened and outraged at the same time, our whole conversation being witnessed and heard by everyone here.

“So the Luna named me Alora, it means shining light in Greek, and kept the rest of my name traditional with Frost Northmountain. The only part of my name I wanted to keep when I changed it was the one she gave me.” I say.

“When my DNA test came back linking me to First Alpha Luna Heartsong, I decided Luna Heartsong would be a name I could be honored to carry, that was my first act of gaining my freedom from Bettina, Allister and Sarah.” I tell him.

“Oh sweet girl you have suffered so much without my presence, I can’t ever forgive them for what they’ve done to you.” He says hoarsely in that echoing bell of a voice.

“You’re here now, and it wasn’t your fault, between the bindings and her lies, you didn’t know I existed.” We tell him, I felt the tears wanting to come out, but we refused to let them fall, we had agreed, no more tears for our past, it was in the past.

It was time to heal and move forward, be the strong female we are. “Selena was named by the Moon Goddess herself, in Greek is means Moon Goddess, it was so others would know her claim on us,” there were gasps from the crowd at this news. 2

“Xena named herself while she was still bound from me. I had been cleaning the living room and the TV was left playing, a show about a Warrior Princess came on, her name was Xena, she says she thought that’s what we would be one day, a Warrior Princess, guess she’s right.” I laughed a little.

“You are truly wonderful my daughter.” he says “After I found you I had your names engraved on the name plates, these swords are yours, everyone of your siblings had a set, they bond to you, and there is an incantation you can think in your mind that brings them to you or puts them away.” he tells me.

“Our name is Tamashinohi, Soul Fire, to make me appear you will say ‘Uchi ni oide’ meaning, ‘Come to me’, to put us away you would say ‘Imanotokprp hanarete’ meaning, Away for now.” the voice was feminine, and Japanese sounding, it was very pleasant.

“She was a horrible woman, and your not. What she did is past, what we have, is now. We have plenty of years to make up for lost time, and I’ve got siblings I get to love and spoil to my hearts content and another on the way. I have my mate now, and his family loves and accepts me. I have a Clan that I feel I truly belong in, and a home I won’t have to fear living in. I’m now free to actually connect with my Pack, and I love it.” I say smiling.

“I love these swords!” we all shout mentally at the same time, letting me know I wasn’t the only one. I would be able to use these in Lycan form, that would be so awesome, but who to battle with doing that? Maybe Master Brock would be up for it, or Master Sam.
