Chapter 143
Sabastian’s POV
With my arm around my mates waist I observed our children and the fun they were having. Especially Alora, she practically
sparkled with her joy. Looking at Damien I could see the love and devotion he had for her written on his face, and in everything
he did for my daughter.
I look over at my Kass, and she was smiling and giggling, looking happily up at her mate, offering him a bite of her ranch dipped
jalapeno popper. He leaned forward and got ranch on the tip of his nose as he took his bite. Kass wiped the ranch off with a big
smile, her eyes sparkling with her laughter.
Kian looked at Kass with love in his eyes and a smile on his face, he looked enchanted by my only other daughter. Both my girls
had been claimed by their mates within hours of each other, I was sad and happy at the same time. I squeezed my mate close to
my side. Most of our children would be leaving us to live with Alora in the Heartsong Mansion.
Bryce and Daniel would be coming back and forth the most, but even they now had jobs with Alora’s Pack. Asher and Nathen
would be starting at the Moon Mountain Pack’s University with the start of their next semester.
I hear a commotion off to the side, near the food stall where we had purchased all the food, the food in question was nearly all
eaten now. Watching how much food Werewolves could pack away was a little intimidating, the first meal I had shared with them,
but I’ve since gotten used to the sight.
I notice Damien and Alora’s attention was now on the noise that only our group could hear, and that was only because none of
us were human and all had exceptional hearing, especially the Werewolves.
Alora let out a growl when she spotted where the confrontation was coming from, and who was involved. It was the little girl that
she had invited to stay and work inside the Heartsong Mansion while she earned her degrees.
There was a tall scruffy looking human in a stained white shirt and blue jeans, he smelled of days old body odor and alcohol. The
man brings his hand back and slaps the girl, she falls to the ground with a suppressed cry of pain. I smelled blood when she
landed, she’d been hurt when she fell to the ground.
“You’ve been working here all week you slut, where’s the money you bitch.” he yells at the girl with slurred words.
“I..I.I d..d.don’t get p..p.paid for another week.” she says weekly, her body trembling.
The man kicked her in the stomach “You useless tramp.” he kicks her again. “Just like your worthless whore of a mother.” he
kicks her again. Then he reaches down and picks her up by her hair “You better make me money soon or I’m selling you to the
highest bidder worthless bitch. We’ll see how you like earning money on your back.” He slaps her and tosses her to the ground.
“You’re nothing but a whore anyway, just like your mother.”
I hear a snarl of rage coming from next to me, and I turn my head to look. Asher has a look of absolute
fury on his face, then he’s suddenly up and out of his seat, and rushing over to the girl. As he rushed over the little girl looked up
and saw him, but Asher’s eyes were not on her they were on the man who had abused the little girl.
Alora was snarling and her mate was holding her around the waist, I was holding onto Stephanie’s arm to keep her from doing
anything. Darien had his mate in his lap trying to hold onto her, his look just as angry as his mates. Kass and Bella were being
held back by their mates as well, my other boy’s were snarling in their fury.
Asher seemed to have snapped, as he was rushing over, he transformed into his sprite form. His hair going all black, his eyes
glowing red with a black ring around the red, his skin turning to a dark charcoal gray, growing taller by several inches. I knew his
teeth would be out and exposed, as angry as he was he might bleed the human.
Worried I was about to go to my son, but my mate held me back, she was watching intently, the other females had stopped
fighting their mates and were watching intently too.
The look on the girls face, that had been filled with her pain a moment ago, now looked awed, she seemed mesmerized by the
sight of my son’s transformation. He goes to the girl while snarling his fury at the man, my son Nathen followed his brother. Asher
knelt down next to the girl as the man started to look at him in fear.
“What the fuck are you!” the man yelled out in anger and fear.
Asher picked the girl up, turned and handed her to Nathen who had already been holding out his arms for her. The girl looked
reluctant to part with Asher once she had been in his arms. “Take care of her Nathen.” he said, his voice holding a deep powerful
echo.

“I’ll have mom and our sisters treat her, take care of that asshole brother.” Nathen says, he glared angrily at the man who had
just beaten that poor little girl bloody. There was blood dripping from her arm onto the ground, and I could smell more wounds,
what was this man to this girl that he had felt entitled to hurt her.
My son was obviously wondering the same thing “Who is this man to you, is he important?” Asher asked her, looking down at her
with a calm and caring face. The girl looks up at him, no fear on her face, she wasn’t afraid that he was obviously a Vampire.
“Who the fuck do you think you are, put that bitch down this instant, she’s my property!” yelled the man, his tone belligerent,
although he stank of fear.
“He’s my step father.” she says in a small and helpless voice.
Frowning Asher asks “Where’s your mother?”
Tears start to fall down the girls cheeks and her shoulders shake as she lets out a sob. “She’s dead.” her voice full of pain and
sorrow.
“Hey what are you crying about! That bitch deserved to die!” the man yells out, panic in his tone.
“Is this man important to you?” Asher asks her in a serious tone. O
She looks at Asher for a long time, her look was serious through the tears poring down her cheeks, finally she shakes her head
no. “I don’t want to have to go back with him….ever.” she says in a calm and even tone, her voice husky from her tears. 2
Asher nods, I don’t think the little girl knew why he had asked her that very important question. If she didn’t…I don’t think she
cared all that much about what happened to the human male.
I look at my son and he meets my gaze, I nod, giving him permission to do whatever he wanted with
looks over at Alora, she’s standing next to Damien, they were both standing bone straight, their glares of fury on the man. Alora
meets her brothers gaze and nods, Nathen reaches us with the girl, my mate, Kass and Alora coming to surround Nathen and
the girl.
Damien and Alora move to block the girls view of what Asher was about to do. Asher surrounds himself with clouds of shadow,
they stretch out and encompass the entire alley, hiding him and the man. The man’s terrified screams are cut off the moment
they start. After a bit, my son back in his human form, emerges from the alley way, leaving the cloud of shadows behind. 2
The shadows in the alley would remain there for awhile before dispersing, by that time we would all be long gone, and the
Amusement Park closed. The man wasn’t dead, but he might as well be, the man would forever be trapped inside his mind,
repeatedly experiencing every pain he had visited upon the girl, and everything he had planned to have done to her. When the
human authorities found him the next day, he would be placed in one of their mental institutions.
“What should we do?” my mate asks me.
“From what we have just witnessed, the girl obviously doesn’t have a safe place to live right now.” I say.
“I’ve texted Alpha Andrew, there will be two wolves here in the morning to take her back to Luna Ember, she’ll take care of her till
we get back.” Alora says.
“I take it you’ve become attached to the girl.” Damien says to his mate.
“Yes, we’re going to take care of her, and if she want’s to stay with us after her graduation, I will adopt her into our Clan.” she
tells him.O
Damien smiles at her, “Ok my Starlight, I have no objection.” he says.
Asher came over and the girl immediately looked up at him like he was her hero, a night in shining armor come to life. “My
sister’s Pack will take care of you for us until we can come back.” he says to her. The girl looks sad at having to be separated
from him.
Asher lifts a hand and rubs the back of his fingers gently over one bruised cheek. “You’ll be safe there, no one would harm any
who are under my sisters protection.” he tells her, and the girl smiles at him just before passing out in Nathen’s arms. 2
Asher takes her from Nathen’s arms, I gestured to one of the bodyguards that had been following at a discreet distance. “Go with
Asher, book a room on the same floor next door to his, and make sure to help him get whatever the girl needs for her care.” I
ordered.
He bowed and said “Yes your Majesty.” He left, following Asher who held the girl close to his chest.
