Chapter 133
Damien’s POV
I was standing by the open doorway leading out onto the patio, looking up at the moon. Alora was asleep in the bed, after the
dinner discussion with everyone we had come back to our room and I had made slow sweet love to her. Dinner with everyone
had been a lively event. Alora’s brothers were hilarious as they teased both of their sisters. I got to watch Alora’s face light up
with love and laughter.
She had been glowing, and I loved having been apart of that, there was a storm brewing, and I felt it coming closer and closer
everyday. I’ve started making Alora take my blood on a nightly basis and store the power it gave her into the rings. We’ve also
strengthened the protection spell surrounding our pups, it had made us both feel better.
I looked to the Moon and I silently asked the Goddess to keep Alora’s nightmares at bay for the next two nights. Alora deserved
a couple of nights of peace, after I finished I turned around and went back to the bed, climbing in next to her I grab her around
the waist and pull her close into my side. The highlight of tonight was getting to hear Alora sing. O
It had been a game of truth or dare that we had some how gotten roped into, I wanted to blame my brother, but if I did that, I
would have to give him the credit for getting Alora to sing. Serenity was the one who got to ask Alora truth or dare, and Alora had
chosen dare, I don’t think Serenity had any idea what she was asking of Alora when she dared her to sing. Darien had known,
judging by the wide eyed panicked look he’d given his mate at her dare.
Alora had seemed frozen for a moment, and I had felt her fear coming to me through our bond. I had been about to tell her she
didn’t have to do it when a determined look came over her face. “I won’t let malicious ghosts keep me silent anymore” she told
me through our mind link.
“Okay,” she told Serenity. “I’ll sing.”
“What song?” Serenity asked her.
“Until Eternity, by Blackbriar.” she said, and then she looked at me with a loving smile.
I had felt the warmth of her love for me replace the fear she had been feeling through our bond. She had taken a drink of water,
her gaze then raised to meet mine, after a moments pause, she opened her mouth and began to sing to me. Her voice had been
pure and clear, going straight into my heart,
sinking deep within my soul.
I loved you once, I loved you twice
I loved you in my previous lives
I know your voice, I know your eyes
You haunt me through my dreams at night
Oh my love we’ll meet again
We always do in the end
Our two souls destined to be
You and I until eternity
We live on and on and on
Death is weak and we are strong
On and on and on
Time is weak and we are strong
ved
And I see you and you see me
Your eyes are like a raging sea
I know it’s you, I know it’s true
I gazed into them once in a dream
Oh my love come take my hand
Like you did in my dreamland
You feel the immortality
It’s you and I until eternity
We live on and on and on
Death is weak and we are strong
On and on and on
Time is weak and we are strong
I loved you once, I loved you twice
I loved you in my previous lives
And when I die, just keep in mind
I’ll love you in another life
Love you in another life
We live on an on and on
Death is weak and we are strong
On and on and on
We are strong
On and on and on
Death is weak and we are strong
On and on and on
Time is weak and we are strong
When she finished the song, everyone had been staring at her in various forms of amazement and surprise. While her gaze was
still locked to mine, I had said to her in a husky emotion filled voice. “I love you my Starlight, until eternity.” Then I had leaned
down and kissed her. There had been awes, cheers, claps, and whistles at our kiss. It had been another great moment to add to
the ones we were building together.
I drifted off to sleep with those happy feelings and memories warming me deeply. O
Alora’s POV
I was sitting in the early morning sun on one of the many lounging benches on the balcony outside mine and Damien’s room.
The wind was sweet with flowers and warm with late spring and early summer. In just a couple of hours I would have my
adoption ceremony. It was going to take place under the willow tree and in front of the koi pond. There were flowers blooming on
the willow vines, beautiful blue flowers.
I decided to wear a knee length sundress with a wide circle skirt. It was black with bright vibrant purple and blue iris flowers all
over it. The top of the dress had spaghetti straps with a sweet heart neckline and fitted bodice. I was wearing black high heeled
wedges that were covered in the same flower print as the dress. My hair was braided into two french braids, and I was wearing
simple silver hoops, and the necklace Damien had given me all those years ago, the one the Alpha got back for me.
I had a book from the Willow Tree Library, as I’ve taken to calling it, and a cup of warm tea. I hadn’t had a nightmare the last two
nights, and for that I was grateful. After the ceremony we would spend time with the family, then tonight we would have a farewell
dinner. Damien and I were already packed and ready for our trip to Blood Moon Castle, for my second Ceremony next weekend.
Damien, and I would be staying at the Castle for a few days before the Ceremony, then we would come back two days after that.
We would have our protection detail with two Beta’s, two Gamma’s, and four Enforcers. While we were gone, the everyday
matters of the Clan would be haj and Luna Ember. Darien, Serenity, Matt and Lauren would be coming with us.
The book I was reading was another one about cleansing the ground and plant life of Black Magic. Black magic left a residue in
the areas that it was practiced in, and it taints the plants and the ground around it. It also tells about the taint Black Magic
eventually leaves on the users, most of those
Withes and Warlocks have to use glamour spells to hide the visible effects. However, there was a point when enough Black
magic taints the soul, so much so, that it could no longer be hidden by glamour spells or even potions. 2
OU
I here foot steps behind me, I don’t need to look up to see who it is, I already know who’s behind me. I would always be able to
tell when he was near, I didn’t have to see to know, and his presence made me smile. 2
“You seem happy mate.” he stated, his tone happy.
I look over at Damien, he’s leaning on the door frame of the open patio doors, his arms crossed over his broad muscular chest.
He had a smile on his face and his eyes were shining with his love for me. His hair was loose around his shoulders, one strand
was coming forward to brush against his cheek. He really was a beautiful sight to see.
“I am, I’m always happy when your near my darling mate.” I tell him honestly.
This made him smile more, he straightens out of his position, puts his thumbs in the pockets. He was wearing light blue jeans,
with a dark blue cotton short sleeved button up shirt. His mark was on
display with the open collar of the shirt, as was a bit of his chest. He was wearing the necklace I had bought him. He walked over
to me, and using one hand, he reached out and brushed the pendent of my own necklace with a gentle touch using the tip of his
finger.
The look he gave me, at seeing me wear this necklace had me melting, he looked so happy that I was wearing it. “It looks perfect
on you, thank you for wearing it.” he says in a husky voice filled with emotion.
I smile at him, tears gathering at the corner of my eyes. “I won’t let her keep me from wearing my special treasure anymore, she
wont be able to take this from me again.” I tell him. 3
Me calling the necklace my special treasure had meant a lot to him, I felt it through the bond and I saw it on his face. He sits
down on the bench next to my hip, he cups my cheek in one hand.
“I love you my Starlight, you shine brighter then the Moon or any single star to me, you are my brightest light.” his voice was low
and still husky, his words filled my heart so full of warmth and love.
“I love you so much Damien, more than I could ever express in words. You are the fire that keeps me warm and the strength that
keeps me going.” My voice is husky with my emotions.
He leans down and kisses me softly, so much love in just that gentle touch. The kiss then turns to something deeper, and went
on for a while, after a bit he lifts up and his heated gaze meets mine, both of us panting
“Oh no you don’t, you can do all that later, get in here it’s time for breakfast.” The Luna said to us, just as we were both thinking
of going back to the bedroom. The disappointed look on his face must have matched mine. (2
“Oh don’t look so glum, I made funnel cake and have all the fixin’s, and an array of fruits, oranges, apples, bananas, grapes,
strawberries, plums, peaches and pears. There are sausage links, sausage
patties and bacon, there is also a mess of scrambled eggs with mixed peppers, onions and lots of cheddar cheese, as well as
plain scrambled eggs with just cheese, diced fried potatoes and hash browns. I also got a couple of cartons of extra creamy
chocolate oat milk just for Alora.” 3
We both perked up at the feast she mentioned, smiling we get up and head in, to fill a different kind of hunger.
