“Why are there people like him in the world, why did Alora have to go through all that?” his voice small and tear filled. “Alora is so nice and she’s amazing, why didn’t they love her?” he asked plaintively.
I feel my heart break, he asked questions I had wondered myself. “I wish I could give you an answer that would make it all better, but I can’t.” I tell him, my tone was soft, but it carried my own pain. “All I can tell you, is that you can’t have light without darkness, you can’t have good without bad.” I tell him.
He looks up at me, his eyes so sad. “Your right, it doesn’t make it better.”
We all face the crowd as the Werewolf Council, I knew my father made sure they would be here, made a decision right then on
Allister’s crimes. He was sentenced to death, and my father could have that carried out anyway he wanted. Father had two options for that, either he would my brother, or he would hand him over to Alora’s father.
But that would wait for a moment, my father had to address the use of Black Magic by the Frost and Northmountains, as well as their blood bonds to the Black Magic Coven. I watched as Council representatives from the Witches Council and the
Supernatural Council arrived, surrounding the courtyard.
All the members of those two Clans who were connected to Black Magic had been invited to the Gathering. This was father’s plan, he didn’t want them to have a chance to disappear and become a threat to the Pack.
With the two other Council’s here, they were able to identify, subdue and capture all those tainted with, Black Magic or those connected to the Black Magic Coven. There were some who carried a taint of it, but it was a residual taint.
Some received the taint from being in the proximity of a Black Magic user. They were interrogated, with most being released. A few were captured and taken into custody as their residual taint was from actually participating in Black Magic rituals.
Allister had tried to make and escape when all this started to go down, but Queen Stephanie spoke a quick spell that bound him in place, he was no longer able to move. Once the other two Councils took off with the Black Magic offenders, we got back to who was going to get to dole out Allister’s execution. @
My father looked at Damien and the King, both technically had the right to carry out the execution. My brother is the one who spoke up before my father did. “I want Sarah, the King should have Allister,
I will be satisfied as long as his death is the painful retribution it should be.” his voice holding the growl of his wolf.
My father looked at the King, giving him a nod, and with that the King turned to Allister. “For your crimes against my daughter, I subject you to the same fate as Bettina.” with those words, and a waved hand in Allister’s direction. He sent out a ring of fire circling Allister, the fire was white, laced with blue lightning.
The fire formed a spiral around Allister, just as it had Bettina. The lightning in the fire struck out, causing Allister to scream in pain as it opened up wounds in his body.
The fire split streams off of the spiral and streamed into the wounds, Allister’s agonized screams were continuous, the fire had his skin boiling and melting off his bones, then it turned those to ash, like Bettina. 14
After the body was gone there were still agonized screams, only they were coming from the twisted black and green soul left behind after the body was burned away. (3)
The black hole opened above the spiral of fire, then it dragged the howling soul with it into that darkness, bringing silence to the courtyard once more.
Damien’s POV
My father had to get everyone’s attention again after what had happened with Allister. There was a comical moment when Alora’s siblings were exchanging money. Alora was going to get to greet a new sibling in a few months. I felt happy for her, and I knew she was happy and excited. My father let them know of a few other titles that have been gained by our wolves.
Xander and Beatrice being my Beta and Gamma, as well as a matted pair. Jaxon in a black shirt with black pants was announced as Alora’s Beta, Victor in a silver shirt and black pants, was announced as her Gamma, with their mating marks on display, it was obvious they were also a pair. Victor’s long white hair was loosely braided, the braid over one shoulder. Jaxon had his arms around Victors waist as Victor leaned back against his chest, his head tilted to one side. They looked confident, in love and dangerous at the same time.
Good, my mate needed strong wolves by her side, these two would one day be the Packs Beta and Gamma. They would have a lot of responsibilities when it came to leading the Pack, as would my mate. But we had at least ten years before that would happen. I was starting to feel it would be nice to go ahead and get started on those pup’s soon. She would look beautiful, her belly round with our pup.
I focused back on my father as he announces my brother’s Beta and Gamma. Matt was announced as my brother’s Beta, and
Lauren, as my brothers Gamma. That had been a surprise for me. Lauren and Matt were not mates, but they were both people who had been victims of Sarah, and formed a friendship to help each other cope and recover. I could sense Lauren was not a bad person, not really, she was actually naturally kind. Sarah had to have hated that, and sought to destroy it.
The announcements done, the trouble resolved for now, the banquet was resumed. The music was restarted and the food was served buffet style. There was a lot of wolves clamoring to get my mates attention. Wanting to get to know the next Pack Alpha, and I finally, was able to get my mate to myself when I took her out onto the dance floor.
There was a slow song on, so I was able to pull her close to me. Holding her up against me we swayed to the slow music. We stayed like this throughout the entire song, no talking, just feeling. Her face nuzzled into my chest and she seemed to melt into me as we had danced. It filled my heart with a warmth that came from loving this female.
“Hungry?” I asked her. She nodded her head with her face still pressed into my chest. “Okay my Starlight, lets go get some food and sit down for a bit.” I tell her. She lifts her head up and looks me in the eyes, her smile soft and loving, she nods her head.
We walkover to the table and get some food then find an empty table to sit at. Once we sit down we’re joined by Jaxon and
Victor to Alora’s left, Xander and Beatrice to my right, Kian, Kass, Galen and Bella directly across from us. All of us would be living in the Heartsong Mansion together soon, so it seemed right to sit down to a meal with them all. O
**Alpha Andrew’s POV **
My mate, Sabastian, Stephanie and I sat at a table back and away from Damien and Alora’s. Boris and Lissanna came and joined us in observing our next generation of Alpha’s. At the table next to Damien and Alora’s was Darien and Serenity’s, they had Matt, Lauren and all of Alora’s little brothers. They were all talking back and fourth, laughing, smiling and eating. O
Looking at them all, I felt the future was bright. They would carry us through the next several decades. But first, I think it best to give them more then one decade to grow their family. A large one.”
“My darling, what do you think about giving all our children four or six more decades before they take over?” I asked my mate.
“What do you mean my dear?” she asks me.
