Chapter 52
Alora’s POV
The rest of the day passed without any more drama. At least, until we went out to the bikes, Poor Jaxon, he was red as a tomato. I had suggested the Twins double up while Jaxon took one of their bikes. They said as my Enforcers they needed to be free to act as such, meaning they needed to be able to flank me, and my Beta, so that idea was nixed. The only solution was for Jaxon to ride behind me.
I couldn’t help but smile at how red he was, at the thought of mounting the bike behind me. It was cute and amusing all at once. “I won’t bite, promise.” I tell him in a drawl, causing him to redden further. His cousins and Darien were no help, they just kept laughing at the situation. Then I decided to tease him and Darien. I look over at Serenity and catch her eye. She sees me smirk, I wink and she smiles and nods, letting me know she’ll back my play.
“We’ll…..” I draw the word out, getting the others attention, and a suspicious look from Darien. “Serenity could always ride with me,” the smile on my face growing as I was talking. “and Jaxon could ride with Darien.” I say brightly, then I look at Serenity. She’s smiling, mirth filling her eyes. Darien has stiffened and was now looking at me with promised retribution, Jaxon in panic. A
Clapping her hands together, going along with my torment of the boys. “That’s a great idea!” she says with a lot of cheer. Darien is looking at his mate, his look one of disbelief joining the panic already there.
“What?….But mate…” he tries, trying to find a way to get out of this, but Serenity is thoroughly enjoying herself now, just as I am. Jaxon is looking even more horrified at having to ride with Darien. “But mate…I want you with me.” Darien whines. Everyone laughs at his whine. 2
Serenity laughing reached up to his face, she stopped laughing long enough to give him a kiss then say. “I love you.” before continuing to laugh.
He purses his lips and narrows his eyes at her, he looks up at me, then he looks back at her. “Your yanking my chain aren’t you.” he growls. She laughs harder. He looks up at me “Now why did you have to go and pull my mate into your shenanigans.” he snaps at me, I just laugh harder, tears coming. I’m standing next to Kian, I lean against him, my arm raised to rest on his shoulder to keep myself up. 2
Kian’s laughing then say’s “Sorry to tell ya bro.” he laughs “But she’s bad all on her own.”
Serenity snaps out a “Hey.”
“Sorry sis, but someone’s gotta warn your mate.” said Galen laughing.
“Warn me about what?” demanded Darien.
“That she’s a terrible tease.” laughed Kian.
“And a prankster.” added Galen “There’s a reason we ride with her every October.” he said grimly.
“What?” Serenity asked, trying to feign innocence “I wasn’t ‘that’ bad.” she says, her brothers laugh.
“I call bull on that one.” said Kian, Galen comes up on my other side, I raise my other arm onto his shoulder. Leaning on both of them, they both have their arms crossed over their chests, making their muscles bulge a bit. We’re all smiling, Jaxon actually snaps our picture. ‘I’ll have to ask him to send it to me’ I think to myself. I tune into the story the twins are telling us about Serenity.
“So one October we were both still driving ourselves to school.” Galen starts the story.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)
“And it’s dark as ‘fuck’ in the morning, that time of year.” Kian chimes in.
“Me and Kian were taking turns driving our Jeeps.” Galen continues.
“And one morning, we were in mine.” Kian tells us.
“And we’re halfway down the drive.” picks up Galen.
“And I look in the rearview mirror,” Kian pauses, dragging it out, I shake him with my arm. He chuckles “And I completely freaked the fuck out.” he continued, putting the arm I was leaning against around my waist. Galen put his arm below Kian’s, his hand resting on my hip. Neither being inappropriate, just resting their arms there, like I was on their shoulders. I think Jaxon took another picture.
“This guy is shouting and slamming on the brakes” says Galen, pointing at Kian “So I turn around in my seat, and lose my shit.”
Kian chuckles. “The fucker jumped out of the Jeep screaming.”
“So did you!” Galen points out, laughing “I’m surprised you even remembered to shift into park before jumping.”
“I didn’t, I’d accidentally slammed the emergency brake when I’d stopped in my panic.” said Kian wryly.

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?...
