Chapter 179
Damien’s POV
I did not expect to see what we did, when the wall of fire dropped. Rain was surprised as well. Judging by Rain’s conversation with Matt and Lillian, we should have been transported outside a barrier. Not inside the Black Magic Coven’s compound. That wasn’t what was surprising me though.
My mate was not only no longer a captive of the Coven, she was now releasing carnage on her former capturers. The feeling coming from my mate was rage. To say
my mate was angry was an understatement. Even covered in the blood of her enemies she was still the most beautiful female I had ever seen.

I wanted nothing more than to call out her name and rush to her, to grab her up in my arms and crush my mouth to hers. I decided I would wait till she was done with the Coven first. I would never deny her this, we were coming here to kill all these beings anyway.
Starlight, Alora in her Kitsune form, was standing a few feet from a cluster of Coven members. Under her and them were seven rotating blood red mandalas, they looked almost rose like with Starlight at the center. What was interesting was that the Coven members inside the glowing red mandalas were no longer moving.
Not even to toss spells at Starlight as the others were doing. Then they started screaming as ropes of dark red came out of them, and were absorbed into the
mandalas. The Coven members screamed until they could scream no more. Their bodies fell to the ground, looking like dried up husks.
“Oh shit” Darien said in a startled voice next to me, briefly drawing Alora’s attention to us.
“What did she just do?” Kian asked, there was shock and a touch of fear in his voice.
“Blood Harvest.” Kass, Asher, and Nathan answered him in unison. My thought after they said this was, ‘So this is what it looks like.’
“What the fuck is Blood Harvest?” Galen asked.

“It’s a spell that allows only those with Royal Vampire blood to drain their enemies dry without having to stick their fangs in their enemies throat. Only those of direct lineage to the ruling Vampire Royal family are allowed to have knowledge of this spell. Although it would be stupid to assume the other families wouldn’t have the knowledge, they probably do, they just don’t broadcast that they know.” Victor said.
This surprised me, although it shouldn’t. “Wait…how do you know about it?” Kass asked him.
“Did you forget my mother is your father’s second cousin on his mothers side?” Victor asked her.

“Oh shit, that means you have Royal blood too.” Bella said.

Their conversation faded into the background as I looked at Starlight. Only after her last enemy was vanquished, leaving just the sobbing Sarah alive, did her attention return to us. Her gaze locked with mine, and she sauntered over. She looked like a naughty child who had gotten her hand caught in the cooking jar.
However she knew you wouldn’t yell at her for it, you would just think she was adorable and mischievous.

Then she was right there in front of me, for the first time since she had been ripped from my side, by the bitch sobbing for mercy on the ground not too far from us.. Her smile was loving, her eyes warm pools of her love, then her words broke my last shred of control. I grabbed her up against my chest and kissed her, I kissed her
hard, putting everything I had felt and was feeling in that kiss.

She melted against me, and kissed me back and opened our link. Our emotions flooded each other, and only magnified the depth of our feelings for each other. It took a lot for me to gain enough control to part our mouths, but that was all I could do. I still could not let her go, I rested my forehead against her crown, our breathing was heavy, coming out in pants at first.
“Starlight.” I said, my voice hoarse.
Starlight smiled and shook her tail, which was still half soaked in blood. Then we were surrounded by everyone. I looked at everyone, saw the longing in their expressions as they looked at my mate. Reluctantly, very reluctantly, I released my mate from my arms. She turned around and a second later stumbled back into me a bit as she was tackled with hugs from her family and friends.
They all started talking at once, I couldn’t separate it all out, but somehow my Starlight did. She talked to every one of them, there were tears and a few sobs. Everyone had missed her and had been worried about her. None of them seemed to care about the fact that she was covered in blood and gore.

“So um…does anyone else want an explanation on what happened here?” Darien asked. “Also…why is that skank Sarah still alive?*
My mate transformed back into her human fona and the blood seemed to be a little less stark against her dark skin, but her shirt and shorts had been made of båg
colors. So the red of the blood was still very stark but instead of on her fur it was her clothes. Her clothes also seemed torn in places, making me angry at how that could have happened.
I could also now smell the scent of gun oil on her, judging from the patterns of those tears in her clothes, she had been shot. On one of her inner thighs over where an artery would be, was a tear and there seemed to be a trail of blood down her leg. Sniffing a bit, the scent of her blood hit me like a punch in the face.

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?...
