Chapter 42
Alora’s POV
The rain is coming down in a steady drizzle, the double doors leading from my new bedroom, to the covered balcony open. I stand leaning against the door frame, watching the rain fall. My room overlooked the koi pond, with the willow behind it. I loved the pond, besides the willow it was one of ‘my favorite features of the courtyard. I was deep in thought as the wind brought in mist and the smell
of flowers. I was trying to clear my head so I could sleep. In the dark of the room the stars that appeared in my hair at nightfall twinkled, I couldn’t see the crown, just knew it was there. 2
It was around ten p.m. now, I didn’t think I would be able to sleep anytime soon. There was a lot that was going on. The dinner had been pleasant. The Alpha and Luna teasing their son, Serenity giggling by his side. He took it all with a smile, all he needed was Serenity by his side. This made me long for a mate of my own. I had had one this morning, only for him to reject me. Serenity’s parents turned out to be quite entertaining. The dinner and dessert stretched into a couple of hours before the couple needed to get home, both having work early in the morning.
The Alpha had a meeting earlier with Matt and his parents. Loren, Beatrice, Agatha and each of their parents and Agatha’s grandmother, were also at that meeting. I didn’t go to the meeting. I stayed in my room once I caught site of everyone from the stair case. Strangely, all three girls were dressed casully in plain blue skinny jeans and t-shirts for different rock bands, their make up nothing more than mascara. 2
They had looked nice. Pretty, an inner beauty coming out that had been hidden by those gaudy outfits and heavy make up. That had been interesting, but not interesting enough to have me go near enough to find out. I didn’t want to have anything to do with my tormentors. I have been plagued enough by them. I didn’t want to seek out their company. After his meeting, the Alpha had sought me out.
I run it through my head. Needing to examine everything, having a highly active photographic memory, this turns the encounter into a movie inside my head. It started with the knock on my door. I had been sitting at my new desk, having unpacked every thing before dinner after my shower. I was glossing over the material for my last three exams. I didn’t really need to, it was all in my head, like had the books copied into my mind and on a shelf inside my brain. Sometimes I visualize an outdoor library under a willow tree, that for some reason had pink cherry blossoms on it.
The sunlight was in a mid morning position, light filtering through the willows vines, the light from the sun, despite being bright, was gentle, and warming without being hot. I didn’t feel the need to squint like I would normally in sunlight, here it was comfortable. The petals of the tree would be blowing around in a sweet rose and lilac scented air, and under the tree in the green grass, were waist high white stone book shelves.

They were placed in a staggered circular pattern around the tree, spreading out in row after row. Green leaved vines claimed the outside of the shelves, different colored flowers blooming from the vines, all in varying shades of blue, purple, red and pink. I would sit by the tree near one of the shelves, the book I needed to visualize in my lap for me to read. Some how I didn’t think this was all il —mal hout l’
that normal, but I’ve always done it to center myself and find information I needed quickly when I couldn’t access the physical material. O
I frown “My status?” I’d asked. “Yes, you are now a Noble of the Northern Continental Werewolves, your Alpha status being registered with the Moon Mountain Pack Council, your status as a Noble was also registered.” he told me. I’d had a feeling that had meant something big for me. “This means your life is going to be a lot different then being a lesser Noble as a Doctor and Scientist of the Pack.” he had continued. Nope, my feeling had been right, hadn’t liked what it meant.
“You wont be able to remain anonymous, you’ll have public appearances that will be made with the Moon Mountain Pack in official capacities, as well as those for the Northern Continental Werewolves.” he’d said. “I’m telling you about this now because you need two Enforcers and a Beta minimum now.” he informed me. “You’ll need them before Saturday,” I had started panicking slightly, I didn’t even know who to begin looking at for those positions, and to have such a short time limit, but the Alpha This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com
“The King of the Vampires will be paying a visit to the Moon Mountain Pack, and you will need to be present as a Clan Alpha of this pack.” Well shit, what would I do, I didn’t know anything about meeting or greeting Royalty of another species, I’d thought. Probably having seen my panic “Luna Ember will help you with everything when it comes to this visit,” he had said quickly.
“But we don’t have much time so that’s why I need your classes to end early, that and the ones of the three others who I hope you will approve of joining you.” he says. “What three.” I’d asked him. “The three I think would make a great Beta and your required two Enforcers.” he told me. “Can I ask who they are?” I’d asked him. “You already know them, Jaxon Mountainmover as your Beta, Kian and Galan Mountainmover as your Enforcers.” he’d said.

Actually I had been quite pleased, they had never once been involved in my torment in school or out of it. I had been smiling at the Alpha’s choices “I wouldn’t mind those three.” and then I had thought for a moment. “I’m going to need and accountant to monitor my finances and add them to the payroll, and find out how to make it sustainable if it already isn’t.” I’d said. “That’s another thing Ember and I will help you with.” he had assured me.

“The Heartsong’s tended to make lucrative financial decisions that has only added to the wealth over the centuries. All the investments they’ve made continue to hold and draw large interest rates, then the wealth that’s not ear marked for the running of the Heartsong Mansion, lands, properties and the Trust, is recycled into investments.” he told me. “But the unused amounts in the Accounts has accumulated in to the Billions in available funds, and billions more are in the investments.”

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?...
