Chapter 139
Damien’s POV
Zane and Xena yed around in the woods for a while, ying hide and seek with each other. Then
they would chase each other around and tackle each other, at one point they justid down and
cuddled together, Zane wrapping hisrger body around Xena’s. After a while of cuddling together, the
wolves heard a couple of others talking, anding towards them through the woods.
“Who do you think it is?” Alora asked me through mind link.
“I believe it is some busy bodies trying to find out what we have gotten up to.” was my amused reply.
“Shall we y a prank?” she asked, a yful note now in her voice.
I was curious and intrigued at the same time “Alright, what do you want to do?” I asked her.
“Lets shift to our Lycan forms and then hide up in the trees, when their under us we’ll jump down on top
of them.” she said.
I could feel how excited she was so I could not deny her this bit of fun. “Okay my darling Starlight, lets
do that.” I tell her.
We shift, I felt Zane’s excitement at the prank our mate had thought of. He also felt any Werewolf that
fell pray to their prank, deserved it, for not being observant enough to look in the trees. We jump up
high and climb up into therge tree we had been curled up under.
Getting into secure spots we wait for the group to arrive. It was Xander and Beatrice with Darien and
Serenity, behind them came Kian with Kass and Be with Galen. The guys were talking back and
fourth, looking around, but not up.
Surprisingly, it was the females of the group who looked up. I felt more than saw my mates movement,
using the barest of movement I nce at her, and she has one w up to her muzzle in a shushing
gesture. I look back at the females of the group and they each wore an amused smile.
The females all started to fall back, till they were in their own group separate from the males. We chose
our targets, Alora would get Xander and Darien, I would get Kian and Galen. The guys didn’t seem to
notice that the females had drawn back and separated themselves from them, they were to busy
arguing over whether or not Alora and I had been there.
“I smell them, I know I smell them.” Darien is saying.
“Well they’re obviously not here as you can see.” Xander said.
“Their sent is strongest over by that tree.” Kian said. 2
“There’s a depression in the grass.” remarked Galen.
They walk under the tree and look at the spot Xena and Zane had beenying before we transformed
and jumped into the tree. Darien was sniffing, and he had and annoyed look on his face. O
“I swear I’m smelling them like they’re still here.” Darien says.
“They must have stayed here awhile, that’s why there scent is so strong.” Xander said.
Galen was kneeling on the ground, and he was touching the spot. “There is still heat here, they had to
have just been here,” he said. 2
“Then where are they, they couldn’t have just vanished into thin air.” Darien said annoyed.
“I have to agree with you there.” Xander said
“This reminds me of something.” Kian said
“Reminds you of what?” Darien asked.
“Remember that one time Serenity got mad at us and hid in the woods around our parents ce?” Kian
asked Galen
“Yeah, why?” Galen asked him.
Kian never got the chance to answer that question, because at that moment my mate whisper shouted
through our mind link “Now!” And we jumped down on top of our targets.
Kian and Galen let out matching “omphs” as the air is knocked out of them when Ind on them
mming them into the ground. Darien and Xander had made their own “omphs” when Aloranded on
them. 2

Galen groans and says in a strained voice “Never mind…I know what you were getting at now.” then he
coughs and gets up to his hands and knees.
Kian also groaning is looking at the group of females off to the side giggling andughing at the males
expense “Serenity did the same thing….only….this hurts worse.” he groans then coughs and manages
to get into a sitting position.
Galen shifting till he was also sitting said “It’s our own fault….should of known to check the trees.” 2
Transforming back Iugh at his words. “Has your sister yed many such pranks on you two?” I ask
them, highly amused. O
They both look at me and answer in unison “Yes.”
The giggles andughter to the side got worse at this response, earning res from both males. I look
over at my brother and my Beta, they both look disgruntled at having been tackled to the ground by my
mate. Of course it didn’t help that a human Alora was rolling around on the ground andughing at
them.

Darien picked up a pile of leaves and tossed them in Alora’s direction, the leaves fell to the ground
before reaching her “Oh shut up, you got me, hardy har har.” he said in a dry tone, a sulky look on his
face.
Xander looks up at me and he tries for a pitiful expression “My Alpha, as both your Beta, your best
friend with a mate of my own, I can understand the urge to indulge her every whim…..but do you have
to let your mate abuse me for her own amusement?” he asks thest with a whine in his voice.
His mate, Beatrice hade over while he had been talking, after he finished his question she
smacked him in the back of the head, getting an “Ow” out of him.
“Any wolf that unobservant deserves to be taken down a notch.” Beatrice told him in a no nonsense
tone.
“But mate…” he started, but she held up one finger, stopping him.
“But mate nothing, be more observant, I’m not burning you because you were careless.” she tells him,
her tone fierce.
Werewolves didn’t bury their dead, they burned them. This was to release their soul and spirit back into
the Moon Goddesses possession.
Xander pulls Beatrice down into hisp and gives her a kiss “I’m sorry mate, I promise to be more
observant in the future….forgive me?” he asked her.
Beatrice smiled at him “You’re forgiven.” she tells him, giving him a kiss.
I walk over to my own mate and offer her my hand, she’s smiling up a me, she was happy, and I loved
that look on her face. She takes my offered hand and I help her stand up, pulling her to my side,
holding her close. The other females had gone to their mates as well, I could see amusement on the
females faces, they had enjoyed our prank. 2
“How did you know they were in the tree?” Darien asked Serenity.
Serenityughs “I was thinking about my own prank on my brother’s and just happened to look in the
tree.” she said.
“It was also really hard to miss Xena’s white fur.” Beatrice chimes in.
My mateughed at herment, my brother looked irritated with himself, I couldn’t help theugh I let
out at his expression. Kian and Galen were groaning,menting having missed a literal beacon to
where we had been hiding. This made meugh with my mate and the females.
“So mate, how many pranks of yours have you told my sister inw and best friend about?” Darien
asks Serenity.
Serenity blushed when we all look at her “Well I didn’t expect her to use them on you….well….maybe
not all of them.” she said.
He looks at her with surprise “You set me up!” he said loudly in a dramatic fashion.
His actions gettingughs and giggles from everyone. “I did not.” she denied, she paused a moment
then said quickly “Alora did.”
Alora isughing so hard by this point tears wereing out of her eyes, she was holding on to me
while trying to gasp for breath in betweenughing.
“Why are all of you out here anyway?” I asked them.
“Mom wanted to make sure you guys made it back to the Mansion in time for dinner, so she sent me
out to look for you two.” Darien said.
“I came because as your Beta I’m supposed to know where my Alpha is.” Xander said.
“We came because Beta Jaxon and Gamma Victor have been detained to help with prepping the
dinner.” said Kian.
“Victor said that if neither he or Jaxon could look for our Alpha it was the responsibility of her Enforcers
to ensure her safety.” Galen added.
“Hay bro.” Darien said, I look at him. “I know your proud of your body and all, but why are you two still
naked?” he asked
Alora squeaked then transformed into her wolf Xena, and Serenity smacked Darien in the back of the
head, reprimanding him. I hadpletely forgotten that we had gone out in our wolf forms, we hadn’t
brought any clothes with us.
Now that I was attracting unwanted attention I called fourth Zane and transformed. My brother was now
She got up after a moment and managed to p Darien in the face with her tail before walking over to
me, we nuzzled a moment. I looked at everyone and barked once, they all got the message, and we
started back to the Mansion.
Tomorrow we would begin our travel to the Bloodmoon Castle.3
