She looks at me, and see’s Alora next to me, her eyes zero in on our marks, and a wide smile breaks across her face. She meets my eyes. O
“Alpha Damien, I hope this means you will teach that bitch Sarah a lesson she’ll never forget.” She says, fire and an inner strength burning in her eyes. vn
“They will feel my wrath, trust me on that.” I tell her. “But I have a question, how much of your family’s Gamma training did you receive?” I asked her.
She looks so surprised at my question. “All of it and then some, often my training was my punishment for preforming to poorly in public school.” she tells me.2
I frown, “Explain.” I tell her gently.
“My home life, and the training I received from my family, was the only thing Sarah was not able to take away from me, for which
I am eternally grateful.” she says
“My parents home schooled me themselves in mathematics, physics, business, as well as the performance of a Gamma and all that comes with that duty.” My eyebrows raise at that. “My family holds really high standards for education. The spell she had me under, was restricted to my public school education.” she pauses.
Her look became one of frustrated anger and pain “Unfortunately, my failure to perform well in public school…caused me a whole lot of grief at home.” her voice husky, she swallows. “I had to train harder, and under go hours and hours of extra schooling at home.” she clears her throat,
Xander gives her a glass of orange juice, tears were in her eyes. “I guess I have to be grateful for that in a way.” she says. “With my parents I have enough education credits to override my public school’s final GPA, and I could get a couple of degrees from the University.”
She took a drink. “So she didn’t really take away my education… I guess.
But my entire school experience….the one I should have had…is gone. I can’t get that time back, and I won’t ever be able to gain the rank I dreamed of my entire life.” a couple of tears fall.
She wipes them away, her look was of determined anger “But I have my mate now, and I am formally pressing charges against
Sarah.” her tone was fierce.
Like my Alora, even with the damage done, she was still strong. It reminded me of something my mother told me once, when I was so upset over Alora one day.
“A broken person can be infinitely fragile, and at the same time infinitely strong.” she’d said to me. “Alora may be fragile now, but if we give her the tools, she can become strong and break free.” she had looked sad. 3)
“But understand that, once broken, there is no seamlessly putting someone back together, there will be jagged edges, and missing pieces.” she’d told me. “Support, don’t smother.”
I watched Xander care for his broken but strong female. Handing her that glass of juice, letting her tell her story. Just being there for her, ready to be what she needed. I can’t help but feel this was what my mother was talking about.
I will be what my mate needs. I could also provide something that could help heal some of what was done to Xander’s mate.
Zane had already approved of this decision, his comment ‘She’ll be a strong Gamma’ all he had said, all he needed to say.
“I’m glad your education was able to be salvaged, despite the reason it was brought about, your family still managed to make you a superb Gamma candidate.” I tell her, Xander and Beatrice are now looking at me in surprise.
Her expression, showing me her visibly trying to tamp down the hope, I see peaking through her eyes. “I’d like to formally extend my offer for you to be my Gamma, Beatrice Fire Shadowtail.” I say to her.
Her face comically stunned, she reaches up and pinches her cheek, flinching with a wince. Her eyes wide “I’m not dreaming… this is really happening.” her voice full of amazed disbelief.
Then she sort of snaps out of it, and looking me directly in the eyes, her shoulders set, strength radiating out of her, “I accept.” She says in a firm voice. O
Alora’s POV
“Good’ says Damien to Beatrice “Before you swear your allegiance to me. I need to get my Clan bonds released to Alora, and adopt her surname.” my mate says.
I’m surprised at this “Your changing your surname?” I ask Damien in a shocked tone.
He looks back at me. “Your a Clan Alpha now Alora. While I will eventually inherit the Alpha of Alpha’s title, I don’t have to inherit the Moonstar Clan as well.” he tells me.
I frown at him a moment “What do you mean?” I ask him.
He smiles “This means Darien, will become the Moonstar Clan Alpha, not me. I will stand by your side as an Alpha in the
Heartsong Clan.” I gasp, that means he’ll claim my Clan name, and I would be his Clan Alpha. “When I inherit the Alpha of
Alpha’s title, you’ll still be the Clan Alpha of the Heartsongs, and become Alpha Luna of the Northern Continental Werewolves.”
“Wait….that would make the Heartsongs….” Victor trails off his eyes wide
“The Heartsongs will become the ruling Clan of all of the Northern Continental Werewolves.” Damien finished for Victor. Victor sits there, just as stunned as I felt. This new revelation taking it’s toll. 3
