Werewolf’s Heartsong novel Chapter 5

Alora’s POV con’d

“Was that so hard to tell me.” I tease, giving him a friendly jab of my elbow into his side.

He shoves me in my shoulder making me stumble, and laugh when he says “Brat.”

I look at the half smirk on his face at my antics, but I could still see some strain in his face. “What’s got you worried my friend?”

“I’m worried she’ll reject me.” he says quietly.

I look at him a moment before asking “Why would you think she’d reject you?”

“What if she thinks I’m not good enough for her, I mean, what if she doesn’t like me.” I can hear the genuine worry in his tone.

“Relax Darien, your an amazing werewolf, you’re strong, smart and loving, she’ll accept you.” I pause a moment, letting that sink in a bit before continuing. “You would make a loving mate able to provide for your she-wolf and pups, you’ll make a great dad to any pups you have, and your loyal.”

“Thanks, I hope your mate is amazing. You deserve a good wolf to stand by your side and love you.” He says.

“I hope he is too.” I say, but for some reason I feel a kind of foreboding in meeting my mate, a bad feeling I was not going to like who the Goddess chose for me, I feel like I’m going to be in for some excruciating pain. I push my dark thoughts to the back of my mind as I see Serenity’s decked out purple Jeep with lift kit and flood lights pull in to the parking lot. She parks fifteen spaces down from us, her and her brothers are talking.

Galen, has black hair and Kian has red hair that was a few shades lighter then his sisters. They were both huge, broad, and muscular wolves. Both were handsome in a rugged, rough way. You could visibly see the good in them. It was obvious they loved and adored their sister.

Serenity was talking to her brothers, when a large gust of wind sweeps past us, carrying our scent to her. She stops talking abruptly and sniffs the air, the she turns around and looks at us. No, not us, Darien, she had eyes only for Darien.

The look on her face is first of shock, then of wonder, before transitioning into excitement. I look at him and he’s standing there frozen, gazing at Serenity like she was the most gorgeous person he has ever seen. He was no longer paying attention to me.

What was he waiting for? I could see he wanted nothing more then to run to her, then I remembered what he had just feared. I look again at Serenity. No, she’s not going to reject him, she’s going to embrace him, and love him like he deserves, and if he doesn’t go to her now he’ll hurt her.

So I decide to intervene, so my best friend didn’t fuck up his first time meeting his mate. I push him telling him “Run to her you fool, it’s what she wants, go get your mate.” In a laughing shout.

With just that one push, Darien is running towards her, and she to him. They meet in the middle as she jumps into his arms. They’re smiling at each other while he spins her around once before setting her down. Then they say in unison “Mate”.

I’m so happy for them I feel like I’m glowing, I can feel Xena inside me happy for the two werewolves as well. But then that glowing feeling fades as my own reality comes back. Somehow I don’t think my first meeting of my mate is going to be as beautiful as this.

I’m still smiling though, because if anyone deserved happiness, it was those two. Serenity was so sweet that light practically shown out of her, one reason my sister hated her, she glowed effortlessly. It was her soul, she was pure, just like him.

I have a feeling he’ll be able to bring her out of her shell, with as outgoing and friendly as he was. I was hoping that maybe I might now be able to have a female friend that was protected fully from my sister.

Speaking of…as I’m standing there, her two brothers walk up to either side of me. They stare at me for a bit before I look at first one, then the other.

“Something I can help you with boys?” I ask softly. I step away from them and turn my back to the couple so I could look at them. They look at each other, briefly, looks of confusion on their faces. “Ask whatever it is that’s on your mind.” I tell them gently.
