Werewolf’s Heartsong novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85  

Alora’s POV

Damien holds me against his chest as he begins his tail about Lucian Blackfire. “It was said that Lucian Blackfire was a hard hearted, and powerful wolf, who had a heart of stone that none could crack. Lucian began a quest, to be the strongest Alpha, of all the Clans on and around the Moon Mountain Volcano. It is said his power had been born of the Volcanos fire and lightning elements, and that he could harness them.” his voice was deep and soothing. 2

I could listen to him speak forever. “Legend says when he was angry, the Volcano would rumble and the ground would shake. He went and conquered each Clan, one by one. Never finding his mate among any of the Clans he conquered. He was uniting each Clan he conquered under one Pack, with him as the Alpha. Each Clan kept their Alpha, they where just titled Clan Alpha, with Lucian Blackfire being named, Pack Alpha.” 2

The others were just as entranced by this story as I was. “One day, Lucian was walking through the forest surrounding the Heartsong lands. Lucian had left the Heartsongs for last, because it had been foretold to him, that the Heartsongs possessed the Goddesses blessing and protection. Wanting to see if this was true for himself he went alone to scout their lands, to see if he could find a truth to this. While in the forest, he heard a song.”

Damien pauses in the story, he rubs his cheek on my head and squeezes me tightly to him for a moment, then he continues with the Legend. “The song was said to have wrapped him up in an unbreakable hold, and led him straight to his fated. He stumbled upon a violet eyed, black haired beauty, sitting by a river singing. It’s said he stood there, watching, listening to her sing till after the sun set. Then watched as thousands of stars started to twinkle through her hair, and she was donned in a crown and bracers with intricately knotted designs on them.”

He nuzzles my neck, causing a shiver of arousal to spark through me. ‘Goddess’ it felt so good when he did that. “It was said that he became the conquered wolf the moment he heard her first note. Wrapping around his soul, binding his spirit to hers. When Lucian approached the female he went down on one knee in front of her, and for the first time in his life, begged for something. Her name, and her acceptance.”

Damian had taken one arm from around my waist so he could play with my hair, occasionally nuzzling my neck. “It’s said that she asked him what he would give up, if he ever had to, in order to be with her. He told her, he would give up everything he owned, he’d give her his life, soul, spirit, heart and blood to be hers. After hearing the sincerity in his voice, knowing the words came from his entire being, the female accepted his claim as her mate.”

Damien placed a gentle kiss on my mark, sending sparks through my blood stream. “Finding out she was the Clan Alpha of the Heartsongs was a shock to Lucian. To prove his willingness to give everything to her, he swore loyalty to her. With Lucian by her side, she became the First Alpha of Alpha’s, while Lucian remained Alpha of the Moon Mountain Pack. It’s said when the couple died at age nine hundred. They were found in their bed, his arms wrapped around her, they had both passed away in their sleep.”

He squeezes me tightly to him again for a moment “Their bodies were burned together, their ashes split between two places. One was at the Heartsong Mansion, the other, here. It’s said that every few thousand years, the couple is reincarnated. They always bare the same mating mark, the female, always a Heartsong, the male, always a powerful Alpha.”

He shifts me sideways in his lap. slinging my legs over one of his, raising the knee of his other leg to brace my back. With a hand on my cheek, he lifts my face, and my eyes meet his gaze. “Now my mate, are you going to tell me what brought on your questions?”

Damien’s POV

I suspected something was up when my mate had zoned out. Sitting there still, with a glazed, not here, look to her eyes. It was only for a few moments, then she had snapped back and started asking questions.

About a Legend I knew by heart and soul. It was a Legend I had first heard as a small pup, and I had instantly felt a connection to it. I had started to want my own Heartsong too. When I found Alora, our connection was instant, and the first time I had caught her singing, was by the river.

Her voice had called me to her from the very first note. When I had found who had been singing, I had been startled. It was my little rescued pup. Ever since I met her, I refused to touch another female. Zane always felt calm and content in her presence.

He’d also been extremely vocal in his protest of us leaving for the Alpha University. It was only when we saw how much improvement training had done for her will to live, over that last summer, had he quieted a little.

It was the reminder, that going away for more training, was the only way for us to become one of the most powerful Werewolves, that had him reluctantly accepting our leaving. The progress reports the only way to stay gone.

I’d begun to worry about my obsession with her, but I could never stop myself from making sure she was at least alive, and hopefully ok. Then Darien had called me one day, telling me Alora had been missing for days from school.
