Werewolf’s Heartsong novel Chapter 173

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.
