Chapter 173
Damien’s POV
I opened my eyes and laid there for a moment, tears falling down my face. It took me a second to realize, even though Zane and I were no longer in her space, we could still feel our mate. I sat up really fast at that realization.
“Starlight?” I asked through our link, my words coming hesitant. I was afraid what happened wasn’t real.
“I’m here my love, they can’t silence our connection again.” Her sweet melodious voice sounded in my ears. I closed my eyes and covered my face, suppressing a sob.
‘Thank the Goddess” I said internally.
I could ‘hear’ my mate again, and I could feel her emotions once more. However when I tried to sense what direction she was in, it was like my internal compass was broken, and the needle was spinning around and around, unable to find north.
It was my mother’s warm arms around me and her whispered words of comfort that made me remember the reason I had woken up, was because someone had been calling my name.
“I know it’s hard to be away from her son, but we’ll find Alora soon.” My mother said softly.
“Thank the Goddess, I love you, I love you so much.”I took the opportunity to tell her Alora through our link, I couldn’t hold it back. Our separation has been hell for

“Ah, mate, you have suffered. When we are together again, I’ll stay glued to your side.” She said. Her voice, and the love I felt from her were providing a soothing balm I so desperately needed.
I dropped my hands from my face and I met my mother’s gaze. “I can feel her again, I can talk to her, she broke through one of their spells.” I told my mother in a hoarse tear filled voice.
My mother looked at me in shock and abruptly sat down on the bed, tears coming into her eyes. “Alora…you can really feel her again…and hear her?” she asked. surprised, her expression full of hope.
“Tell mom when we get me and our pups home, I want her seven layer lasagna with extra meat sauce.” She told me.

I let out a chuckle. “She said that when she and the pup’s get back…she wants your seven layer lasagna.” My voice was slightly choked with my tears. Mom gasped and covered her mouth with her hands, holding in a sob, her eyes filled with tears, her expression a mixture of hope and happiness.

“I can’t feel the direction she’s in, but at least I’m no longer completely cut off from her.” I told her, not wanting to get her hopes up too much.
Mom’s expression went through several changes, in the end she just jumped up and wrapped me in her arms. “I’m so happy, Alora and your pups are still alive.” She said in a voice filled with emotion.
“I don’t know when we will be able to finally bring her home, but she says she’s fine for now.” I told her.
“They can’t touch me now, not with the spells activated.” Alora said in a comforting tone. “Tell her and your dad I love them, tell my parents, and my siblings too, please?*
“I will…how are you still talking to me while being drugged unconscious?” I asked her in a curious tone, just now thinking about that.
“My body is unconscious, my mind is not.” she said “It’s like an out of body experience or astral projection.”
“Well that is certainly interesting.”1 commented back.
My mom was sitting next to me watching, she had already realized I was conversing with Alora, and was trying not to ask what it was we were talking about. The strain from holding back her questions was visible on her face. I gave her a half smile and chuckled.
“Alora said she loves you, dad, her parents and her siblings.” I told mom, her eyes looked bright and she smiled. “What made you crane in here and wake me?” I asked her.
“You slept past breakfast, at first I didn’t want to disturb you, but it’s lunch time, so I got worried and came to see if you were all right.” She explained to me in a

gentle voice.
Mom raised her hand and tucked one of my strands of hair behind my ear. She had a gentle smile on her face. “I’ll be okay now mom, don’t worry so much anymore.” I told her. I know it’s hurt her to see me going through all of this.
“I’ll try, come and eat something, after, you need to go to the training grounds. Matt has some information he wants to talk to you about.” She told me.
“Do you know what it’s about?” I asked her.
“Why would Matt want to meet with you?” Alora asked me.
“I’d like to know that myself.”I told her, not knowing what it could be.
“I’m not sure, but Boris said it was extremely important.” My mother said in a serious tone.
That made me go still. “If uncle Boris said it was important than it is.” I told my mother. I felt Alora frown at my words, knowing how important they were.
I ate more of this meal, than I had of any the others since Alora was abducted by her half sister Sarah. I felt my mates satisfaction through our bond
Luna Ember’s POV
After my son ate everything I had set out for him and left for the training grounds, I sat down in the living room. After a inoment of just sitting there, I put my lace into my hands, and cried. I had to let out the emotions I had been holding back since Alora had been taken from us. Having to watch my son go through hell everyday without his mate, and being unable to do anything to help him.

Aloe was so special to us, her laughter and her presence made our world so much brighter. To have her ripped away like that…..my heart broke. Now that my son could hear and feel her again, it gave me so much hope. I now knew she was as strong as ever, and would fight to the end to return home to us.
My mate came in, having felt my breakdown through our bond. He knelt down in front of me, his green gaze filled with love and concern. He wrapped his strong aims around me, cradling me against his broad chest, his love washing over me through our bond.
“Talk to me Ember, your emotions are all over the place my sweet, tell me how can I put my mate back together.” He said in a raspy voice.
It took me a bit to stop crying, I was hiccupping and my mate handed me tissues. I gave him a gentle smile. “Damien was able to hear Alora again, he can even feel her emotion again, he just can’t get a lock on her location.” I told him.
Alora and her pups were still alive, we still had the chance to find and bring them honje. Andrew’s expression reflected the relief and hope he was feeling over the news I just gave him.
“It’s good news that he can hear and feel her again, that gives me hope.” He said, his gravelly voice was filled with emotion.
“What do we do now?” I asked him..
I was worried about how long it was going to take to find Alora, she was only two morth along. Normally that wouldn’t be too much of an issue, but, Alora was pregnant with twins. This meant that not only did we only have three more months to find her, her pregnancy was in danger without proper care. 4
‘Goddess I hope it doesn’t take that long to find her.”1 prayed internally.
“Well….our next move might actually depend on the information Matt is about to give our son.” Andrew said.
I looked at him with a frown. “Why?” I asked him.
“Because according to Matt, he believes the Witch he’s seeing in his dreams is being guided here by the Goddess, and once here, she’s supposed to be able to lead us to Alora.” He told me.
I looked at him astonished and hopeful at the same time. If what he said was true, then the Goddess was trying to help us reclaim our daughter in-law and our yet to be born grand-pups.
“Thank you Moon Goddess. I sent my heartfelt soul deep gratitude to the Goddess internally. 2

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?...
