Chapter 113
Alora’s POV
I was so embarrassed but also happy at the same time. This had turned into a great day, it had started out as just another
training day and had turned into a Pack Gathering. Deciding I was hungry, and wanting to explore, I lift my head up and look at
Damien, he’s still looking at his father and Brock, but
I knew even distracted, he would hear me. “I’m hungry.” I say softly.
He stopped growling at the two laughing males and looked at me, his eyes soft and full of love, his mouth curved into a gentle
and loving smile “It’ll be my honor to help you hunt up some food my darling,” he said to me in a low husky voice,
I smile up at him, basking in his love, letting him see mine in return, there was a familiar click of a very expensive camera off to
our side, we both turn to look at who took the photo. It honestly didn’t take me by surprise that it would be Darien.
That’s when I realized he had been taking a lot of pictures of everyone, his mate Serenity by his side smiling, handing him things
or holding things he needed out of the packs he carried. She would also point out this or that and Darien would get a shot.
“I want to see every one of those pictures when your done.” I tell Darien.
“I’ll have it all in an album for you, your first training day at the Heartsong Mansion,” he says, then adds “And your first Pack
Event at the Heartsong Mansion, even though this really was not planned.”
I laugh “How did all this happen anyway?” I asked him.
“Well…according to the gossips I can hear all around, as you were oblivious to your surroundings, everyone wanted to know why
the Volcano was rumbling and the ground shaking earlier. The Heartsongs actually have in the top three floors of this building,
dorm rooms. There are eight hundred, two bedroom dorm apartments on each floor, they have full sized living rooms and
kitchens with two master baths. The dorm rooms house two to four wolves. So you have the potential to house up to nine
thousand six hundred wolves in the top three floors of this building alone.”
This surprised me but it explained how so many wolves arrived so quickly.
“The wolves occupying the dorm rooms came out here to investigate, and found a training battle, then it was posted on your Clan
forum and others started to arrive, then it got posted on the Pack forum, next thing you know this is a huge, unplanned, Pack
event.” Explained Darien.
With that question answered my mate and I head off to the food stalls for food. There were so many options, I got a lot of small
sample pieces so I could try most of it. The food was amazing, what I couldn’t pass getting a full size on, was the funnel cake, I
got a plate sized funnel cake with strawberry sauce whip cream and powdered sugar. It was so delicious, my mate watched me
with growing interest as I moaned my way through every bite.
several older Pack and Clan members who hugged me, I was so surprised, I wasn’t used to people touching me like this. They
would say nice and encouraging things to me, welcoming me to the Clan and congratulated me for being the Clan Alpha.
There were stall’s with different wares on display, not just food stalls, at one there was a pendant on a silver chain that caught my
attention. It had half inch wide, flat links, it was a chain meant to be worn by a male, it was long enough it would hang over
Damien’s collarbone, but not so long it would get in the way.
The pendent was a flat silver silhouette of a wolf howling at a Crescent Moon, with a small star on the top tip of the Crescent
Moon. I couldn’t take my eyes off it, I wanted it for Damien.
With that thought in mind I looked at the stalls shop owner and asked “Can I have that one?” The Stall was for a shop called
‘Heartsong Magic Treasures’ an interesting name for a shop.
The older white haired she wolf smiled at me “Greetings Clan Alpha,” she grabs the pendent and brings it forward “Is this the
one?” her voice kind.
“Yes, this is the one.” I say happily. “May I know your name?” I asked her.
“It would be my honor Clan Alpha, my name is Celeste Heartsong Dreammaker, I am a Werewolf Witch Hybrid and specialize in
Magical Item Crafting and Enchantment.” she says.
I smile wider, amazed. “That’s amazing, your shops name seems so fitting now, is this pendent one of your crafts?” I ask her. (3)
She looks pleased at my praise. “Yes it is, the chain will actually change size to fit a Supernaturals change in form, so they never
have to take it off.” she tells me.
“That’s incredible, I want to purchase this one, it’s the perfect gift.” I tell her, she looks so happy at my words.
I used my phone to pay for the purchase, our Packs business owners had embraced the new mobile paying technology, it made
things really convenient for shifters, purses and wallets were a hassle to deal with when shifting. A phone was easy, most had a
case with a special strap that can go around the neck for easy caring while in a wolf form. No more wet chewed up wallets, or
wolfy face plants tripping over bag straps.
For long distance runs we went in pairs and groups, so we had a specially made pack our wolves could carry without trouble, but
it was awkward to use in everyday life with it’s front harness. Celeste asked me if I wanted to have the pendent wrapped, I didn’t
and politely turned the offer down, I was going to give it to Damien now.
My mate had been standing by the doorway of the small stall, leaning against a support post, arms crossed and a half smile on
his face, joy and love in his eyes. I smile at him, letting him see my love of him,. I gestured at him to come to me and he did,
once he was standing in front of me, I had him bend down. Reaching up, I put the pendent around his neck, and then kiss his
cheek. 2
Letting him straiten back up I look at the pendent on him, it looked like it belonged there, and that
made me happy. “Do you like it?” I asked him.(
“I love it my darling Starlight.” he says, then cupping one of my cheeks he gave me a kiss. “Thank you mate.”
“Oh my, your marks, their exactly like Alpha Luna and Lucian Heartsong’s.” the shop keeper said in surprise, we look at her in
our own surprise at her comment “Oh and I remember the necklace you bought from my shop so many years ago, you took it to
my daughter for the engraving.” She said to Damien. O
Damian stands up straight, smiling gently, holding me close. “I remember, you were kind in helping a little male pup find a
precious gift for his precious someone, I got that necklace for Alora.” he told her.
She smiled “Then it makes it fitting your mate purchased your gift from me as well.” her voice filled with humor.
Damien and I look at each other smiling over that, it did seem fitting. “You still have yours tucked away.” he says.
I blush “I’m a little overprotective of it at the moment, Sarah stole it and kept it from me for so long…I just don’t want anything to
happen to it.” I tell him.
With a smile he leans down and kisses my forehead “Okay mate, will you wear it to special occasions?” he asked me.
I nod. “Yes.” I replied.
We turn to the shop keeper who’s smiling at us “Thank you Celeste, you are a wonderful crafter, I’ll recommend my sister and
her cousin come in and take a look, they would love this shop.” I tell her.
She looks surprised and delighted at my words, “Thank you Clan Alpha.” she bows in respect and we leave the shop.
My mate holding me to his side we walked and explored more. I found other trinkets and items I liked, some as gifts for my family
and friends, some for me, clothing and some sandals, a few decorations for the braids in my hair. The braids had quickly become
my favorite hairstyle with all my really thick hair. I even found several sets of earing’s, some matching some being miss match
earrings.
We found more food to sample, talked to more Clan and Pack members. We caught up with my sister, Bella and my Enforcers,
then we were joined by each of our Beta and Gammas, after a bit our group got bigger when we were joined by Darien, Serenity,
Matt and Lauren. We all talked and had fun, enjoying the day. The little impromptu tournament started while we were exploring,
providing entertainment.
We joined back up with the rest of our original group in our seats. Everyone had gotten a lot of food, and we were trading back
and forth, a lot of “Here try this.” and “Oh my Goddess that’s delicious.”
At one point Stephanie told me about wanting to adopt me, even though I was eighteen. I told her I would be honored to name
her as my mother and call her mom. I wasn’t going to turn that kind of love away, and her being my Fathers mate only made it
better. (2)
“That means I’ll be able to claim you as my cousin!” said Bella excitedly “Awesome! We’ll be getting another Bad Ass female in
the family.” she said, getting laughs out of everyone. I blushed, happy to be claimed as a family member by these people.
“We’ll need to have two Ceremonies.” said Stephanie. “One here for your Pack.” she says.
“I’ll help you get the one here set up Stephanie,.” Luna Ember told her, she looked excited.
“Oh that’ll be wonderful Ember, I would love that.” Stephanie said happily “The second Ceremony will have to take place at
Bloodmoon Castle, we’ll get her sworn in officially as a Royal of the Vampires as well.” she said.
A Royal? I was going to be sworn in as a Royal of the Vampires?
