Chapter 22
Darien’s POV
After our orders were taken we settle down to wait for our food and drinks. Then Elder Ss 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 ssy, she looks like she’s about to break. “I’m finally free.” is thest 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 thest 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 vani vored coconut milk creamer and several scoops of
sugar. I get to the shop and buy the coffee.
I rush into the restaurant and kneel down next to my dad. I open the lid on the coffee and waive it under
her nose, her nose starts twitching, “This
should bring her back.” I tell everyone. It’s not much longer, then I see a smile form on her face. “See, I
told you it would do the trick.” I turned to Serenity, gloating a little.
“How did you know that would work?” she asks. “Because she’s addicted to coffee, but not just any
coffee, the snob has to have organic dark roast.” I tell her.
Alora stirs, my parents are relived and d she’s awake and tell her so. Then she makes that
I’m not a coffee snob. I just have high standards for good coffee.” I look down, right into her eye before
enunciating one word. “Snob.” with a straight face. I hear a snort next to me.
My mate ps both her hands over her face and brakes into a fit of giggles. It makes me smile. This
she wolf is so beautiful, I can’t wait till I have her all to myself. I had ns that involved us staying in
bed for a month. Damn she makes me so hard,
I felt like my dick was going to shatter any moment, my wolf wasn’t doing much better. He’s been
howling to im his mate since this morning.
The touches and kisses we’ve been able to im so far were not enough. And fighting only made me
more eager to im her, especially when she kicked ass. Goddess her ass, so perfect and round with
the right amount of bounce and sway as she walked. I could feel myself dripping out of my tip a bit.
Shit, that was thest thing I need, a wet spot show casing exactly how needy for my mate I am. Not
that anyone couldn’t smell it, we are werewolves after all, a heightened sense of smell was a given.
Doing math equations and reciting the duties of an Alpha had me calming down enough I could sit
during lunch.
I look up and my dad is staring at me with a smirk on his face. The old bastard knows exactly what I’m
going through, then he looks at my mother and I look away. I’ve heard them plenty of times through
their bedroom wall to know they still had a very active sex life. Not something I wanted to think about
while eating. The thought of mom and dad getting it on helps take care of the rest of my erection. I start
thinking about the fight ahead.
We were to be in our half forms this time around. This form was not easy to hold. It took dedication and
discipline to fight in this form. The half form was stronger and built for battle. For the fighters who had
mastered this form this portion of the tournament would be therest chance to make it up in the ranks.
Alora hasn’t trained with the rest of the Alpha ss in her half form. 3
She had trained with our Pack’s top warriors in that form, only the Seniors Alpha ss Fighters trained
with the Pack Warrior’s normaly. This year dad had the pack’s elite Training Master working with us.
Master Brock Stonemaker was a big powerful wolf. He was trained with dad and his Beta by his father.
He became Training Master when his father had retired.
His entire line had passed the position from Father to son since the First Alpha. They would add new

techniques as they were discovered. They were always improving, saying “The world halts for no one.”
meaning we needed to adjust as the world continued to change. He had trained Damien before he had
left for the University. I knew he was sad to see one of his favorite students go.
But I watched how ecstatic he became at being told he would be Alora’s trainer, having already met
Alora by then. I knew his excitement was because of how closely she resembled the First Alpha. Then
when she had her blood test done, proving her a Heartsong, he beamed with pride like he knew it all
along, dering “I knew it! She’s always been special.” in a boastful tone. She was my best friend, I’ve
always know she was special.
I’m d my mate likes her, it means Alora has one more friend. Then I look at my mates brothers, three
more friends, she now has three more friends. Good. She deserves it. For years I’ve stayed by her
side, and for years I have watched her pain. So much pain. All those times I would smell fresh blood, all
those times she would walk, stand or sit funny. Yet I have never seen her break….until
today. But then, after all she’s been through, and that’s with just what she’s told me, and what I’ve
found out on my own, she was due for one.
I don‘t understand how Xena was able to do what she did for Alora, but I was grateful for it. When she
woke back up she was put back together, but changed. It was a good change, I could sense that much,
and now she was free from her parents and sister. We just had to go with her to collect her things after
ourst match.
Thinking of the matches has me thinking of my mate. “I wonder what her half form looks like” Axel said.
Making me think about it too. She’d be covered in all that vibrant red fur. Her wolf was powerful, so I
had no doubt that power would make itself visible in her half form as well. Oh and the curves that form
would have. I growl softly thinking about it. Oops,
must not think such carnal thoughts in the middle of a restaurant sitting with your parents, I think to
myself.
“She‘ll be magnificent” I couldn’t help but reply to Axel. I’m d I needed to focus on my match,
otherwise I’ll have blue balls the size of my head by the time I get home because of how much I desire
my mate. Maybe I can talk her into staying the night at the pack house I wonder. I have my own suite of
rooms away from my parents, and we’re both of age now. Shiti needed to get my head out of the
bedroom
Lucky for me the food had arrived, and that took my focus away from carnal pleasures to be had with a
mate. I look around at everyone, taking in their expressions, listening to their words and thinking. Then
I look back at Alora, I see a smile on
taking in their expressions, listening to their words and thinking. Then I look back at Alora, I see a smile
on her face. She’s happy now, that’s good. But she could be happier, she could be with a mate. I
wonder who the Goddess would bless to have Alora as his mate. “Who ever they are they better treat
her as she deserves.” I say to myself.
