Werewolf’s Heartsong novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156

Damien’s POV

Alora’s phone ringing woke me up, my mate was still asleep against my chest, looking at the clock I could see that we had only been asleep for two hours. I knew it was Alora’s phone ringing because of the ring tone.

It wasn’t one of her personalized ringtones, the ones she had set up to match the personality of the one calling her. It was her generic ring tone, ‘Our Truth’ by Lacuna Coil, who would be calling my mate at three in the morning. I ignored it the first time through, thinking it was a fluke. But it started to ring again almost the moment it stopped.

Making sure not to wake my mate up I move her off my chest and onto the bed, reluctantly leaving her side. I dig through the clothes on the floor, pulling her phone out of her pants. I look at the number and I don’t recognize it, the area code was strange, the region it was assigned to was large, remote, and basically a dead zone, it was surrounded by a toxic haze no one has been able to identify, so none of the Supernaturals or humans could settle near or around there.

There were rumors saying an ancient city was behind the haze, but as it was so toxic, no one could explore the region to confirm this rumor. Those who have tried have never returned, the Council’s and Governments decided the region was off limits nearly a century ago. So how was it Alora was getting a call from a phone with that regions area code.

Then I remembered the extremely small town that was on the border of the region, just outside the line drawn by the Governments and the Councils. It was the only town within hundreds of miles of that region, it was a port town, a sorting point in the transport and shipping of supplies. While I was thinking about this, the phone stopped ringing. After a moment it started to ring again, the same number, whoever they were, they were being persistent.

While the phone was ringing I grabbed a pair of shorts and slipped them on before walking out of the room, shutting the door behind me. I walk through the large condo till I get to the front room and can walk out onto the balcony, the balcony doors were already open. Once I was outside I look down at the dark but still twinkling city and answered the phone just before it ended the last verse in the song.

Not caring that there was already someone out here, I just didn’t want to wake Alora. The voice that came over the phone when I answered made me glad I left the room, but it had been a wasted effort hoping she would sleep through this, my emotion would wake her.

The voice had me instantly in a fury that caused a low rumble to come from the building as my power faired. I had to concentrate to hold it back. A killing fury started to run through me at each word the stupid bitch calling spouted. I felt my eyes start to glow, Zane’s fury now filling me as well.

“YOU STUPID CUNT! YOU WHORE! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR MOTHER! DON’T THINK YOUR SAFE BECAUSE YOUR THE WHORE OF THE ALPHA’S SON NOW! I’LL CUT YOU TO PEICES YOU WHORE! I’LL CARVE YOUR FACE OFF! I’LL HAVE YOU RAPED LIKE THE WHORE YOU ARE YOU BITCH!MY AUNTY HAS POWER AND I’LL HAVE YOU SOON! I’LL NEVER LET YOU BE HAPPY! YOU DON’T

DESERVE IT! JUST YOU WAIT WHORE!” Sarah shrieked drunkenly over the phone. 5

I let loose a loud snarl of fury, there was also a snarl from the one who had already been out here. “You listen to me! The moment I have my hands on you I’ll tear you to pieces limb by limb! I’ll make you pay for every scar you have left on my mate!” I growled out the words, my fury and Alpha power in each one. The building let out another rumble, shaking slightly from my power.]

The phone disconnects, I drop the phone to keep from crushing it in my fury, not wanting to upset my mate. I start to breath, trying to calm my fury and restrain my power. I meet the set of angry glowing

eyes of my father in law, the King of Vampires. 3

He’d been out here smoking from the looks of it. It was a strange habit for a Supernatural to have, most couldn’t stand the smell of cigarettes. After a moment I realized it wasn’t a cigarette, it was a

“Since the moment she opened her eyes in that mud covered face and met my gaze.” I tell him.

“Physical attraction didn’t come till she was in her teens, and by that time I was already going to be leaving for the University. Being away kept me from acting on my attraction before the mate bond was formed between us.” I tell him.

“When we first started this conversation you said ‘it was bad enough’…what is it that is worse than what you have just told me?” He asks.

“Her nightmares, whenever she’s trapped in one I’m with her now. They’re memories of what’s happened to her, and every time I have to just watch it play out, not able to do a damn thing to change what was happening to her.” The growl was back in my voice, and my fury starts to mount again. “That bitch fucking tortured her! Over and over, I will never let that go, I yearn for the day I can have the bitch’s throat under my fangs so I can rip it out.”

“Ah well then, I would say your fury is justified.” He says. “I hope we catch her soon, she owes much for the pain my daughter has been put through.” He says, in a soft cold and deadly tone. Looking up at my father in law, I see the fury of a King crossed, his eyes were glowing red in the dark. It was then that I noticed the cracks in the stone of the balcony’s wall under his hand.

“I see I’m not the only one with control.” I say.

• “For now, but I can’t promise to keep it if I ever see Alora’s last tormenter.” He says, a faint growl in his voice.
