Chapter 60
Darian’s POV
I don’t know what made me do it. But when she got off the counter, I pulled out my phone, and started to record her transformation. Then everything else that followed, I was glad I did. I got the footage of her establishing her bond to her new Beta, her Gamma, and her two Enforcers. It was a magical moment that bound them tighter, than what bound my own Clan, or any other Clan.
I knew who I was going to send this recording to. I knew the security camera in the kitchen caught all of it, but only from above. Damien needed to see this angle too. The video and audio recording security camera was why Father usually had all these meeting in his office. Alora hadn’t wanted to go to the office though, I knew it was because she was comfortable where she had been perched on the counter.
It had allowed her the courage needed to tell us the horrific details of her life. This had worked out in our favor though, in a way. That was because I was going to send Damien both video’s tonight. I was wondering how we would explain everything to him, now we didn’t. This would explain it to him for us. He would have to wait till he got home though, to ask the questions I knew he would have. (5)
I kept the recording going all the way through her explanation of who her father was. I nearly dropped the phone though as she explained why the Frosts and the Northmountains did what they had done, and how. Black Magic, they had blood bonded to Black Magic users. This was not good, and I suddenly couldn’t wait for my brother to be here. We were going to need him.
When she was done explaining, Maximus comes forward. “I retire my title as Gamma of the Heartsong
Clan, and turn over the Clans bonds to you, Clan Alpha Alora Heartsong.” He says.
He holds out his hand and she takes it, and draws a line across his wrist with her claw for him, pressing his line to hers “I Claim you and your Clan as my own, former Gamma, Maximus Heartsong Bloodmoon. I accept the Clan bonds into my possession as the Clan Alpha, Alpha Alora Luna Heartsong.” Alora’s voice layered with Selena’s and Xena’s as she accepts the bonds. I feel the power surround their connection as the bond switched over to Alora.
The impromptu ceremony was not over yet. She turned to my Father, the Alpha of Alpha’s. She walks up to him, then kneels down, “I Clan Alpha Alora Luna Heartsong, swear by blood oath my and my Clans loyalty to you as Alpha of Alpha’s” the pledge every Clan Alpha makes to the Alpha of Alpha’s.
My Father then hands her his wrist, allowing her to draw the line across his, then does hers. He presses them together than says “I accept you and your Clans blood oath Clan Alpha Alora Luna Heartsong, I now claim you as Pack” I felt the connection of her and her entire Clan through the Pack bonds. So much power….I could feel it make our Packs power grow significantly.
The ceremony done, the bonds formed, Selena faded back from Alora. Allowing her to return to her normal form. Her braids that had come undone, when the ties had disappearing, weaved itself back into those braids, the ties reappearing. Alora standing in front of me with the face I was used to conino
seeing. But she was more now. Truly a Clan Alpha. She has been my best friend since we were ten.
To find out she had received some of those vicious beatings because of our friendship, had shredded me to pieces. Then she tells us that despite all that, Me and my family, were the very reasons she
survived. She was beaten because of us, but without us would have died. I wanted to cry, howl and rage at the injustice of it all. Those people were absolutely despicable.
No wonder she denounced them as Clan, not that she ever truly was of their Clan. They had never bonded her to them, one of their biggest mistakes. But not the biggest, those were going against the Goddess and treating Alora as they had.
Then I felt her accept our Clan bonds, felt the power of it. The responsibility of being Beta of the Heartsong Clan settling around me like a weight, I was meant to wear. She was now officially the Clan Alpha of the Heartsongs, and my mate was now the Gamma. Then there were the Pack Bonds, I’d been connected to the Pack before, but not like this. I could actually feel myself strengthening.
To be her Beta was to share in her power, and she was more powerful than I could have imagined. Being told her father was a Vampire wasn’t as surprising as being told who her Father was. I mean, who would ever guess, he was THE King of all Vampires. The honor of serving as her Beta greater then anything I could have dreamed for myself.
I look at my mate. I wouldn’t have found him like this if I hadn’t joined her. Making her the person I should thank for bringing him to me. My mate looks at me, sensing my gaze on him. I see his eyes go soft, a sweet smile curving his lips. Taking his hand I draw him to me, my other hand going into the hair at his neck, gripping him I bring his face to mine in a deep kiss.
After a moment I hear the humming of “Can you feel the love tonight.” Then there’s a snicker, and that snicker sparked the laughter. My cheeks heated with a blush, and a smile to my lips. I look into my mates eyes, he’s got a smile too. The blush on his pale cheeks cute. Clearing my throat I look at everyone else. They all had smiles on their faces.
Darien says “Ok, I can see how funny that was, now that its not at my expense.” laughter in his tone, this caused another round of laughter. Even if it is at our expense, I could still appreciate the humor. I had a feeling now that she was free, we would all get to see a whole new side to Alora. With all that has happened to her, she deserved to have happiness in her life.
The Alpha and Luna explained to us, that we would be meeting in the Pack Training grounds, with Master Brock at six in the morning. Then after lunch we would receive our crash course in etiquette with the Luna. Victor would be joining us, because this is something he was already trained for, so he would help. With the meeting officially over, the Alpha and Luna Departed.
The Alpha told me to keep the Guest room for now, he would have quarters prepped next to Alora’s for me and Victor. Darien and Serenity headed for their own room. The Twins left with Alora, leaving me and Victor to our own devices. Each of us needing a break after having such an emotional encounter. I myself wanted to cuddle my mate, I needed to feel better after hearing that horror story.

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?...
