Filed to story: Werewolfs Heartsong by Dizzy Izzy
“We’re free.” I finally say in a whisper. “We’ve just inherited a Mansion.” my voice louder this time. But saying it out loud helped me to orient myself around this fact. “The Heartsong Mansion is ours now.” She’s nodding at each fact. Letting me work trough this. “We’re not poor anymore, we actually have money.” I laugh, hopefully there is an accountant that came with the place. But seeing as it’s been in a Trust till now, I’m sure there is one.
“We’ve been named Alpha Female of the Heartsong lineage.” that one was a wow, I mean, I’m first rank in the Alpha Class yeah, but I’m just now about to graduate. I’m barely an Adult. But it feels right. I feel the responsibility that came with that title wrap around me like a warm cozy blanket, pulling me back together. It felt natural.
That’s when I realized this was my destiny all along. I was born to be an Alpha she wolf. Everything I had been through, what my parents put me through. What my sister had put me through. My drive to complete school as fast as possible despite all the obstacles. My need to be the best fighter, the strongest warrior I could be. All of it.
All of it made me the strong Alpha She wolf I am now. I will get stronger, I will do my new title proud. I was an Alpha she-wolf. My parents and sister will learn to respect and fear my new title. No longer would they be allowed to touch me. I feel the metaphysical chains that have held me back break. Then something warm and glowing fills me.
I look at Xena and ask her what’s happening. “You’ve accepted your true self, now the blessing our mother, the Moon Goddess had blessed the Heartsong’s with will bond with your soul and body. You’ll have access to your Magic now.” I feel it filling me till
I’m lit up like the brightest star, the light bursts out dispersing in a wave of stardust, it only goes so far before it rushes back to me.
Only the magic settles on my skin in the form of tattooed jewelry. Around my wrists are two inch bands of Celtic knots, looking down at my ankles there are the same bands of Celtic knots, only the bands were four inches wide. I go to the pond to see the rest.
That’s when I realized I’m not just
barefoot, I’m naked. I don’t feel uncomfortable though, it’s only me and Xena here. Underneath my collar bones the silver Celtic knots looked delicately laid against the skin, like a necklace, it dipped into a V-shape in the middle. Across my forehead was a V- shaped crown with the same delicate scrolling Celtic knots.
My hair is down around me and looks like it has tiny shimmering stars winking out of the strands. I look gorgeous. I look over at
Xena. She has the same silver makings as me, her white fur is glittering, like my hair. “Our in between form will have the same markings. While human your magic will only allow the crown and the stars in your hair at night.” she tells me.
“What’s with the crown?” I ask her. “We are a Daughter of the Moon Goddess, the Crown is because we are now acknowledged by the Goddess, making us the Moon Princess.” Oh wow, is all I can think for a moment.
“So….we’re….royalty?” I finally get out, afraid to acknowledge it for a moment.
She just looks at me waiting. I knew the answer, she didn’t really have to say anything. We’re royalty that transcended the Pack, all the Packs, not just here on this continent but the world. That’s scary. And something I’m not going to advertise. No thank you, didn’t want that much attention.
I take in a deep breath to center myself again. I look at Xena, I take the time to look at her this way. She’s truly a beautiful wolf, her eye a glowing lavender stood out against her white fur. I reach out an touch her head, her fur is the softest thing
I’ve ever felt. “You are absolutely beautiful, I’m glad you did this for me.” I tell her still stroking her fur.
“But it’s time for me to wake up now, we have a tournament to finish.” she huffs out a sigh, then nods. She stands up in front of me. “Close your eyes.” she said. When I close my eyes she touches her nose to my forehead. Nothing happens at first. Then I feel warmth all over as I’m sunk back into the dark again.
It was the smell of coffee that was bringing me back to reality. I love coffee, it was borderline addiction. But I didn’t love just any coffee. No, I loved good coffee. Organic grounds, preferably a dark roast. Darien called me a coffee snob. Not that I cared, I had told him I just had high standards when it came to coffee. To which his reply was just one word. mah. Takich hohnd me laughing
“Snob.” To which he had me laughing all the way to school that day.
I feel the smile form on my face, now fully back in my own body, when I her his voice “See, I told you this would do the trick.” he gloated. “How did you know that would work?” that must be Serenity. “Because she’s addicted to coffee, but not just any coffee, the snob has to have organic dark roast.” was his reply.
I open my eyes and look around, the Alpha had me in his lap, the Luna next to us. She smiles and lets out a relieved breath when she see’s me looking up at her. The Alpha seeing her expression looks down, and lets out a relieved breath of his own.
“I’m glad your ok and awake now.” he tells me. “Well someone has to tell Darien I’m not a coffee snob. I just have high standards for good coffee.” Everyone is silent for a moment, then Darien looks down at me, and after staring for a moment says that one word. “Snob.” he enunciated it. 3
Then Serenity snorts, she slaps both of her hands to her mouth before she completely breaks down into a fit of giggles, that had
Darien smiling at her. I was chuckling as the Alpha helped me up. The Alpha and the Luna are giving me concerned looks. I smile at them “I’m fine now. Xena just pulled me into her space so I could process everything quicker. Saying we didn’t have time for my brain to catch up the normal way.” I tell them. “I had to accept my destiny as an Alpha she-wolf of the Heartsong blood line, now I’ve received the Moon Goddesses acknowledgment as one of her daughters.”
Darien’s POV
After our orders were taken we settle down to wait for our food and drinks. Then Elder Silas had put that brief case on the table.
Telling my father about the paper work inside. Then my father turns to Alora. With every word Alora loses color. We’re all looking in their direction because of the information given.
Because of the Will left by her grandfather, Alora is now the owner of the most historic property of all the Northern Continental
Wolves. As she is signing and initialing in her new name I noticed something was wrong. She’s not saying anything. The expression on her face is frozen, and she’s too pale.
After she signed it all, the only thing she said was “I’m free.” I heard the shock in that voice, the hesitant belief. Then she looks at me. Her eyes are glassy, she looks like she’s about to break. “I’m finally free.” is the last sentence to pass her lips before she’s falling out of her chair, Serenity lets out a startled scream as I jump out of my own chair to catch Alora, my father on her other side.
My father sits on the floor to cradle her against his chest. My mom kneels down next to him. “Oh the poor girl, how much has she gone through that freedom makes her faint.” she asks tears in her voice. “I don’t know my dear, but she’ll be protected now.” responded dad.
“How do we bring her back around?” asks Serenity. “We have the last of our Tournament fights after the break.” she reminds me.
Crap! The fights! Alora would be so pissed if we missed them. I think of something, I turn to my mate and I kissed her, forcing myself to keep it light and not drown in a fire of need.
“I’ll be right back I need to run across the street real quick.” I tell her as I jump up and run out of the restaurant. There is one thing I know will work, and it’s so simple. Coffee, organic dark roast with cinnamon and nutmeg, lightened with a vanilla flavored coconut milk creamer and several scoops of sugar. I get to the shop and buy the coffee.
