Chapter 120
Alora’s POV
I was laying on Damien’s chest as we rested in the hot water in the large bathtub of the cottages master bathroom. Damien had put in some healing salts with a soothing aroma. My heat had finally broken and Damien was taking infinitely gentle care of me.
I felt his love in every touch, he had one arm wrapped around my waist holding me close while his other hand would pet me. He would start at the top of my head and run it down over my shoulder, then my back, reaching my hip, he would caress my hip a moment then he would lift his hand and start all over.
I could feel his love through the bond, his sense of being at peace and content coming through the bond as well. I couldn’t help but bask in it, as I felt the same. I almost never wanted this moment to end. I rubbed my cheek against his chest, wiggling a little to get just that much closer to him, letting out a contented sigh when his arm around my waist tightens.
“You sound content, are you happy right now my mate?” Damien asked me, I could feel his smile against my temple.
I smile against his chest “Yes.” I tell him.
I know if he were to look into my eyes right now he would see exactly how happy and how in love with him I was. Looking at my wrist, my hand curled up on his chest in front of my face, I realized the sun must have set.
A lock of my long black hair coming into view as it was floating in the water, the lock was twinkling with stars. My braids had been taken out sometime during the last three days, they hadn’t survived our wild mating.
I should be really sore and aching all over, but Damien took really good care of me during this heat. He had made sure we had taken plenty of hot healing salt baths with soothing essential oils.
He would rub a warming massage oil into my muscles, soothing any ache, and there was a soothing healing gel he had applied in between several sessions. He took so many steps to make sure I didn’t suffer during my heat.
He even cooked us nutritious meals, making sure I still ate, as mindless with my heat as I was. Other than the almost unbearable desire and constant fiery need, my first heat had been a pleasurable experience.
Now that my heat had passed I was able to think with a clear head, my dad and mom would have had to have gone back to Bloodmoon Castle by now. That thought made me a little depressed, I had wanted to spend more time with them before they left, would have liked to have said goodbye.
I knew he felt my mood change, he stopped petting me and used that hand to lift my face up so he could look at me. His eyes were full of concern for me. “What is it my Starlight, what has you so sad
suddenly?” his voice gentle and loving, his tone holding his concern.
“I would have liked to have more time with my dad and mom before they had to return to Bloodmoon Castle.” I tell him, my tone holding my sadness.
- S.
He smiles at me gently, his concern disappearing “I was going to leave it as a pleasant surprise for you, but I can’t stand to see or feel your sadness. They were able to arrange it so they will be here for another week, my new mother in law and my mother are arranging your adoption ceremony. My father in law and father are working on the necessary arrangements for the kinship claiming ceremony that will be happening at the same time.”
My joy bursts through me lighting me up from the inside out, I can feel my smile wide and bright on my face. I do a small jump and wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him fiercely as we fall under the water. We come up and sputter a little bit, I couldn’t help the light joyful laughter that escaped me, my mate smiled at me as I laughed.
“I take it this news has made you very happy my mate.” he says.
I nod rapidly a few times “Yes, I’m very happy my darling mate.” I tell him, my voice and tone full of my love and joy.”
He wraps his arms around me and pulls me close, then gives me a gentle kiss against my lips, when he lifts his head up, his gaze locks with mine “I’m glad you’re happy my Starlight, I love you beyond just every corner of my heart to the very depths of my soul.” he says in a husky voice.
meets my gaze “We’re going to have a pup.” her voice soft with wonder.

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?...
