Xander’s eyes were starting to glow with his wolf, after all, this had to do with his mate. “Sarah had Beatrice, Lauren, and Agatha bound to her with Black Magic spells. The spells made them obedient to Sarah, and using that control, Sarah forced Beatrice to reject Xander. With Matt’s help, we removed the spells from the three girls, but it had some unintended effects.” Boris told them.
“What effects?” Xander demanded, the growl of his wolf in his voice.
“Xander?” Boris asked.
“He’s here with me, I brought him back to my room after he collapsed before calling you.” Damien explained quickly, then demanded, “What effects?”
Boris cleared his throat. “When the spells were broken, the females abruptly came back to consciousness, fully aware of everything they had done while under the spell’s influence.” Boris paused to clear his throat again. “I gathered from all their reactions, the things Sarah had them do…. were horrific to say the least. I believe they will all need to have long term counseling.”
Xander was shaking with suppressed rage, his eyes glowing. “Thank you, Uncle Boris, we’ll talk more later.” Damien said, then ended the call before Boris could give a response.
Damien could see Xander was on the verge of losing it. Grabbing Xander’s shoulders, Damien forced him to look him in the eye.
“Calm down.” He demanded, using an Alpha command.
Xander’s entire body shuddered twice before his eyes stopped glowing, and he visibly relaxed. Xander had to clear his throat twice before he could speak. “Thank you.”
Damien didn’t say anything in response, just patted him on his shoulders and let him go. Turning to look out the window at the grounds of the school, looking bright and cheerful under the afternoon sun, Damien focused on Zane. ‘What has your fur standing on end.’
Zane growled. ‘Our mate is hurting, her heart hurts and we are not there to offer comfort.’
Knowing Alora was hurting put Damien on edge. ‘We will be calling her tonight, it might not be the same as being there, but we can at least give her our words.’ Damien told his wolf. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to placate him for now.

“Oh, Alora, my heart hurts so much for you.” Luna Ember said, before gathering her into her arms, holding her tight.
‘I think…this is what it feels like, to have a mother.’ Even in her own mind, Alora’s thoughts were hesitant. If Alora was honest with herself, she was afraid to trust, even when feeling she could. Emotions squeezed her heart painfully, it took everything in her not to break down and cry like a pup in Ember’s arms.
“I’ll be alright.” Alora told her, her voice hoarse.
Ember gave Alora one more squeeze before letting her go, with a motherly smile, Ember gently cupped her cheek. “Okay, for now we need to get you moved into the Moonstar
Mansion.”
“Yes.” Alpha Andrew said. “Ember and I have come up with a plan for that.”
“You have?” Darien asked, looking at his parents with surprise.
“Yes.” Ember said. “First, things first, we have invited the Mountainmovers to stay with us for the rest of the week so you and
Serenity can get acquainted.”
“This means that I will be taking Alora, Darien, Kain and Galen, with me to the Northmountain’s in my SUV. While Serenity,
Jaxon, Camille, and Alfred will be following Ember, in Darien’s car, back to the Moonstar Mansion.” Alpha Andrew said.
The twins were surprised that they were going to be riding with the Alpha. Darien and Serenity didn’t want to be separated, but they understood the necessity. Darien pulled out his keys and handed them to his mother, before they all started to make their way out of the stadium and to the parking lot.
When it came time to separate, Darien gave Serenity a tight hug and a deep kiss. The twins gave their mom and dad a hug before going to stand next to the Alpha. After separating from Serenity, Darien hugged his mom before going to stand with the twins and his dad. Jaxon slung an arm around Serenity and waved to the twins, before shuffling them off to their respective jeeps.
Ember turned and gave Alora a hard squeeze. “Don’t let them bully you. You are stronger than they ever will be.”
Alora only nodded her agreement, afraid if she opened her mouth to say anything, she would start crying. With one last squeeze,
Ember let Alora go and went to Darien’s car. Camille and Alfred followed behind before splitting off for their own car.
Andrew, Alora, Darian, and the twins stayed there until they had all pulled out and were driving to the Moonstar Mansion. “Come on, time to get this group going.” Alpha Andrew said. “Alora, why don’t you ride up front with me.”
Alora nodded and got in the front passenger seat, Darien somehow wound up in the middle of the back seat, with one of the twins on either side of him. As Alpha Andrew pulled out onto the road, Darien leaned forward. “So, how are we going to play this?”
“It was in your text earlier, you and I will be going with Alora as her guests. Kain and Galen, however, are going as her enforcers.” Alpha Andrew said, explaining why he had wanted Kain and Galen to go with them.
Darien frowned. “How did you know Kain and Galen offered to serve Alora as her Elite Enforcers?”
Alpha Andrew’s brows raised in surprise. “I did not know that. I only brought them as enforcers because their father told me being Elite Enforcers to an Alpha was their dream.”
