The sunlight was in a mid morning position, light filtering through the willows vines, the light from the sun, despite being bright, was gentle, and warming without being hot. I didn’t feel the need to squint like I would normally in sunlight, here it was comfortable. The petals of the tree would be blowing around in a sweet rose and lilac scented air, and under the tree in the green grass, were waist high white stone book shelves. (2)
They were placed in a staggered circular pattern around the tree, spreading out in row after row. Green leaved vines claimed the outside of the shelves, different colored flowers blooming from the vines, all in varying shades of blue, purple, red and pink. I would sit by the tree near one of the shelves, the book I needed to visualize in my lap for me to read. Some how I didn’t think this was all il -mal hout l’ that normal, but I’ve always done it to center myself and find information I needed quickly when I couldn’t access the physical material. O
The Knock on my door had me looking up from the material, wondering who could have been knocking. Darien and Serenity had gone to his room, and I had good reason to believe they wouldn’t be coming out till tomorrow morning, and only for school.
Serenity’s brothers had gone back to the house she grew up, and had been living, in to grab Serenity’s things. O
Apparently she had been planning to move in with whoever her mate was, and if he didn’t have his own place, she had even already gotten approval for a suite of rooms in the Communal Pack Wing of the Pack house, where random wolves of the Pack could live. Usually those without family or a Clan would live there until they secured a dwelling of their own away from the Pack
Hous
What neither Serenity nor her parents new was that Kian and Galan had also applied for their own Suite as well. They did so in
Advance because they planed on being in the Pack Enforcers, they wanted to be assigned to their own Alpha. So not only were the two boys getting Serenity’s things with a written and very detailed list, they were getting theirs as well, the Alpha giving them the key’s to their rooms. They had went with their parent so they could return with their own vehicles.
They hadn’t expected to be given their own separate rooms, so had been ecstatic about the surprise. The Alpha had explained it would be more convenient should they find their mates. They were eighteen years and six month old and still haven’t met their mates, so they hadn’t considered that complication into their plans yet. But all that meant was they shouldn’t be back this fast, so it wasn’t them.
I had decided all that in less than a minute. I got up and answered the door, the Alpha was standing on the other side, hand raised for another knock. Surprised and confused “What can I do for you Alpha?” I had asked him. “I had a couple of things I
wanted to talk to you about.” he’d said. “Is it okay if I come in?” he’d asked. He hadn’t had to, being the Alpha, but I had appreciated the courtesy he offered by asking. O
I waived him inside, offering him one of the chairs in my ‘Living Room’ while I took the love seat. The Alpha sat, he looked at me,
“I asked Principal Johnathan to have all three of your sit down exams to be scheduled for tomorrow.” he’d said, I hadn’t expected that, and honestly was ok with it, so I smile “Ah, I see your ok with that, good.” he’d said. “Also I want to talk to you about your status and what it means now.” he told me. 2
I frown “My status?” I’d asked. “Yes, you are now a Noble of the Northern Continental Werewolves, your Alpha status being registered with the Moon Mountain Pack Council, your status as a Noble was also registered.” he told me. I’d had a feeling that had meant something big for me. “This means your life is going to be a lot different then being a lesser Noble as a Doctor and
Scientist of the Pack.” he had continued. Nope, my feeling had been right, hadn’t liked what it meant.
“You wont be able to remain anonymous, you’ll have public appearances that will be made with the Moon Mountain Pack in official capacities, as well as those for the Northern Continental Werewolves.” he’d said. “I’m telling you about this now because you need two Enforcers and a Beta minimum now.” he informed me. “You’ll need them before Saturday,” I had started panicking slightly, I didn’t even know who to begin looking at for those positions, and to have such a short time limit, but the Alpha
“The King of the Vampires will be paying a visit to the Moon Mountain Pack, and you will need to be present as a Clan Alpha of this pack.” Well shit, what would I do, I didn’t know anything about meeting or greeting Royalty of another species, I’d thought.
Probably having seen my panic “Luna Ember will help you with everything when it comes to this visit,” he had said quickly.
“But we don’t have much time so that’s why I need your classes to end early, that and the ones of the three others who I hope you will approve of joining you.” he says. “What three.” I’d asked him. “The three I think would make a great Beta and your required two Enforcers.” he told me. “Can I ask who they are?” I’d asked him. “You already know them, Jaxon Mountainmover as your Beta, Kian and Galan Mountainmover as your Enforcers.” he’d said. (2)
Actually I had been quite pleased, they had never once been involved in my torment in school or out of it. I had been smiling at the Alpha’s choices “I wouldn’t mind those three.” and then I had thought for a moment. “I’m going to need and accountant to monitor my finances and add them to the payroll, and find out how to make it sustainable if it already isn’t.” I’d said. “That’s another thing Ember and I will help you with.” he had assured me.

“The Heartsong’s tended to make lucrative financial decisions that has only added to the wealth over the centuries. All the investments they’ve made continue to hold and draw large interest rates, then the wealth that’s not ear marked for the running of the Heartsong Mansion, lands, properties and the Trust, is recycled into investments.” he told me. “But the unused amounts in the Accounts has accumulated in to the Billions in available funds, and billions more are in the investments.”
Alora’s POV cont’d
I had paled, my stomach protesting, my head had spun for a moment “The staff that has tended to the upkeep of the Heartsong’s holdings have been employed for generations, the Heartsong’s always paying well and treating their staff with respect.” He said,
“You will have loyal people on your side.” he assured me. “You’ll also have Ember and I and then their is Darien and now
Serenity, and when he gets home, Damien.” he told me. “We might not be your blood, but were more of a family then your blood ever was.” @
His statement had meant everything to me, and he was right, It was a very unusual family to say the least, but I’d take it happily.
“Your right Alpha, thank you.” I told him, he blushed a little, cleared his throat then continued. “Also, speaking of blood, I’m starting to worry part of your test was tampered with, not with your maternal connection to the Heartsong’s, but to Allister,” he said to me. I had looked at him, It had been like he’d read my mind “I have had my suspicion of it recently as well.” I had told him.”What I can do is order Allister to come to me, I will have Ember draw his blood, then she’ll run the test herself.” he tells me.
“We’ll have it done tomorrow, Ember will take a fresh blood sample from you in the morning.” he said. “Why tomorrow?” I had asked him, wanting to know way the rush. “It’s tied to why I believe the King of Vampires is visiting, and your scent changed after you passed out at lunch.” he told me.
“When you woke up, those markings around your ankles and wrists were not all that changed about you, and the blood fire seal is not a werewolf’s magic.” he’d said. “Do you know what kind it is?” I’d asked him. “I do.” he had said grimly. “It’s Vampire magic.” he had fallen silent, looking at me, letting me connect the dots on my own. “You think my father is actually a Vampire?”
I’d asked him. “Yes.” he’d said. “We need the blood test to confirm it.” He’d told me. I had nodded “Okay, I’ll give Ember blood in the morning.” I’d said to him
“Hopefully by the time your finished with your last test we’ll have the results ready for you to look at with us.” he had said. He got up “There is a motor bike for you here at the pack house, I hope you like the color, it’s purple, Ember picked it out. It’s a Honda
CBR1000, it’s supposed to be fast and sporty.” he told me. I had smiled, happy for my own mode of transportation. “It’s a gift, you deserve it after working so hard on your education.” He said. I had felt full to bursting, this was what family did. O
He had held out his arms and I had let him pull me into a hug. The kind a dad gives his own daughter. “Thank you, you all have been so kind to me.” I had said, tears in my tone. “Ah. little pup, you’ve been suffering a terrible injustice for to long, I’m glad we
were finally able to get you away from those people.” he had given me one more squeeze, “I’ll see you in the morning for breakfast.” and then he had left. 3
