Her mates had surrounded her, and were hovering, asking questions. I’m distracted by Damien walking over with Master Brock and Master Sam. They all looked like they’d rolled around in the dirt and had various wounds bleeding.
Master Brock had a slight limp, Master Sam was holding one of her arms against her and Damien seemed fine other than the copious amounts of dirt covering him and some bloody spots here and there.
Wondering suddenly about me, I look down and see that I didn’t have that much dirt on me, but I was bleeding in some spots. I look back up at the group and laugh. “I think we could all use some cleaning along with a healer.” I say to them when I get questioning looks at my laughter.
They all start to look at each other, Damien came over to me and put an arm around my shoulders, pulling me to his side. We walk towards the exit heading in the direction following behind, talking to each other. We go to the front of the Clinic, while were in the waiting room, Luna Ember in a white physicians coat comes out with a chart in her hand heading to the nurses station.
She stops abruptly, blinks, then slowly turns in our direction, her look is one of shock and confusion. “What the hell have you all been up too?! You all look like you’ve been rolling around in the dirt!” her tone was of shock and exasperation.
“Well….technically….you could say we were rolling around in the dirt.” Darien says while running a hand through his hair, sending up a cloud of dirt.
The Luna, looking flabbergasted said “Technically?!” her voice was elevated and her tone full of incredulity.
“Well…it wasn’t voluntarily done, I did not enjoy it.” he says with a whine. 2
His mother looks at him with lips pursed, her eyes narrowed and one eyebrow raised in the demand for more information. Darien looks at her sheepishly, realizing his mother wasn’t caring for his humor at the moment. He started to talk when faced with that look.
“So Alora wanted to train, and thats what we did, only she wanted hand to hand combat, and martial arts. I got paired with her and those two.” he says pointing at Bulma’s mates. “We went up against Alora, and she kept sending me flying and rolling across the ground. So it’s really Alora’s fault.” he said with a finger pointed in my direction.
I gasp and look at him in opened mouth shock, then I point at him and say in an accusing tone “Traitor.”
Serenity’s head drops, her hand on her forehead, she was shaking her head. Then she lifts her head back up and glares at him and asks in an annoyed tone “Really?”
“How is it Alora’s fault that you can’t keep her from tossing you to the ground?” the Luna asks him in a dry tone.
“Mom!” Darien whines at her.
“Don’t ‘Mom’ me, train harder.” She snaps at him. Everyone was laughing now, the Luna looks us over then gives an order to the nurse at the station.
The nurse lifts up her phone and starts calling names and telling them to report to the waiting room,
The nurse lifts up her phone and starts calling names and telling them to report to the waiting room, once every one was there, the Luna claps her hands getting everyone’s attention.
“All right everyone this is how it’s going to go.” Her voice was sharp and clear, it rang with authority and confidence. “Since everyone here comes attached to a mate or two, fated pairs are going to be seen together by one healer. I want you all cleaned up, healed up, and dressed in the next two hours.”
“What’s in two hours?” Damien asked.
“Dinner, you all are going to be having dinner with me and the Alpha to go over the last minute details of Alora’s adoption
Ceremony.” she said the last part with a bright and cheery
Damien’s POV
I was standing by the open doorway leading out onto the patio, looking up at the moon. Alora was asleep in the bed, after the dinner discussion with everyone we had come back to our room and I had made slow sweet love to her. Dinner with everyone had been a lively event. Alora’s brothers were hilarious as they teased both of their sisters. I got to watch Alora’s face light up with love and laughter.
She had been glowing, and I loved having been apart of that, there was a storm brewing, and I felt it coming closer and closer everyday. I’ve started making Alora take my blood on a nightly basis and store the power it gave her into the rings. We’ve also strengthened the protection spell surrounding our pups, it had made us both feel better.
I looked to the Moon and I silently asked the Goddess to keep Alora’s nightmares at bay for the next two nights. Alora deserved a couple of nights of peace, after I finished I turned around and went back to the bed, climbing in next to her I grab her around the waist and pull her close into my side. The highlight of tonight was getting to hear Alora sing. O
It had been a game of truth or dare that we had some how gotten roped into, I wanted to blame my brother, but if I did that, I would have to give him the credit for getting Alora to sing. Serenity was the one who got to ask Alora truth or dare, and Alora had chosen dare, I don’t think Serenity had any idea what she was asking of Alora when she dared her to sing. Darien had known, judging by the wide eyed panicked look he’d given his mate at her dare.
Alora had seemed frozen for a moment, and I had felt her fear coming to me through our bond. I had been about to tell her she didn’t have to do it when a determined look came over her face. “I won’t let malicious ghosts keep me silent anymore” she told me through our mind link.
“Okay,” she told Serenity. “I’ll sing.”
“What song?” Serenity asked her.
“Until Eternity, by Blackbriar.” she said, and then she looked at me with a loving smile.
I had felt the warmth of her love for me replace the fear she had been feeling through our bond. She had taken a drink of water, her gaze then raised to meet mine, after a moments pause, she opened her mouth and began to sing to me. Her voice had been pure and clear, going straight into my heart,
sinking deep within my soul.
I loved you once, I loved you twice
I loved you in my previous lives
