I laugh letting her off the hook. “Okay, okay you have a valid excuse for not paying attention.” my tone still filled with laughter.
Then I sober up and continue the list as Devil in Disguise by EMM comes on. “I’ve also now accepted my destiny which broke the metaphysical chains that were binding my power.”
Alora’s POV
Serenity is gapping, I can understand. What kind of parent binds their child’s power. “They even bound my wolf, she wasn’t able to come to me mentally till I was twelve. I shifted at thirteen without anyone knowing it.” I tell her. The song Savage by Bahari is on and almost finish as we pull up to the house that’s been my personal hell since my birth. I hate this place. Sometimes I wish it would burn. 10
Serenity turns of the engine. She looks at me and says “Your parents are horrible people and don’t deserve to have you as their daughter, your amazing, and they should have seen that.” her tone admiring of me but angry at my parents. Darien pulls up with the Twins behind me and Serenity. Horns by Bryce Fox blaring a few lines before he turns the car off.
The boy’s expressions going from smiling and laughing to grim and serious as we all join the Alpha by his SUV’s rear doors, we’re all parked on the street in front of the house. I can see my parents cars in the garage through the windows in the upper part of the doors. They must know we’re here. They had to know, they couldn’t miss the presence of the Packs Alpha, not this close. 2
As if to prove my point, it’s Allister, my so called father, who comes out, bowing with his head he asks “What can we do for you
Alpha?” his tone a little weak. He has no idea why the Alpha is here. “Has she done something wrong that requires her punishment.” he asks. The Alpha’s expression becomes one of angry disdain, not even hiding his feeling for my father’s question.
“No. Alora has done nothing. I’m here with Alora because she has been invited to live at the Pack House for a time.” he tells Allister, his tone had a bit of a growl to it. “Lets all go inside and I will explain things.” It was phased politely, but it was a demand, and you did not disobey the Alpha of Alpha’s demand. Pale my father says
“Very well.” Then in a sweeping gesture he motions towards the house, he says “This way Alpha.” and leads the way into the house.”
We walk into the house, my mother is standing in front of one of the three couches in the living room, she bows her head, then with a false smile, asks “Welcome to our humble home Alpha, what can I do for you.” her tone filled with feigned brightness.
“Where is your daughter Sarah.” He asks her.
“Why she’s upstairs my Alpha.” She says, her confusion real now.
TH!
“Have her come down her now.” he commands.
“Yes my Alpha.” she says, I see her eye’s glaze as she communicates with Sarah.
It takes a moment, Bettina’s face briefly changing to one of anger before a shrieked “What!” was heard from upstairs. Then
Bettina’s fake smile came back onto her face. Soon we hear the running on the stairs as Sarah comes down.
She comes into the living room then stands between her parents who are both still standing in front of the couch. Sarah looks at every one there, a look of pure hatred flashes on her face and in her eyes briefly when her gaze lands on me, it was as brief as her look in my direction. With the same bowing nod her parents had given the Alpha she asks. “How can I be of service my
Alpha.”
Do you have a necklace in your possession that is of a silver wolf howling at a crystal crescent moon?” he asks her.
And before she even thought about it she replied “Yes it’s in my room, it’s one of my favorites.” she said.
“I’d like to see that necklace, bring it here to me now, undamaged.” he orders her. It’s a command from her Alpha, one she could not disobey.
Sarah heads back upstairs. The Alpha looks in my parents direction. “My Alpha, could we ask what ths is about?” my mother is finally the one brave enough to ask the question I could see on their faces.
“The Luna and I have invited Alora to live in the Pack House, I’m here with my son and his mate, and two acting Enforcers, to help her collect her things for the move.” he tells her.
For a moment, her eyes snap to mine, homicidal fury in her eyes, she covers it quickly though. “But my Alpha this is her home.
Shouldn’t she stay here?” she tries.
“The transition to the Pack House is necessary as we get her ready to take over her duties as Alpha of the Heartsong’s and new owner of the Heartsong Mansion” he tells her.
My mother pales, her fury again visible for the briefest moments as her eye’s flickered to me. Sarah comes down with the necklace. “I have it here Alpha.” she says. 2)
The Alpha holds out his hand, she hands it to him. He flips it over, looking on the back. I know what he’s looking at, the inscription. Your as bright as the moon’ signed ‘Damien’. He looks at Sarah.
Sarah pales as she remembers what is on the back. “It was a gift.” she says her voice weak. 2
“I was with my son when he had this inscribed.” he says looking at her. “And I watched as he gave it to the person it was meant for.” she flashes angry eyes at me, realizing this has to do with me. “What I want to know is how it came to be in your possession.” he growls the last. 1
Sarah and my parents are bowing their heads in submission, their Alpha’s anger overwhelming them. “Sh…sh..she…g….ga…” she tried but the Alpha slammed his fist onto the bar leading into the kitchen we were standing next too. “No lies!” he snarls at her. Sarah trembles then in a trembling voice. “I…I… t..t..ttook it” she stutters out.
The Alpha growls “It was not yours to take!” Sarah whimpers. My parents are glaring at me with their heads still bowed. The Alpha stops growling then turns to me, kindness returning to his expression. “You and Serenity go and gather your things.” he says to me. I nod, then grab Serenity’s hand, and pull her with me to go upstairs to gather my things.
