Chapter 114
Chapter 114
Damien’s POV
My mate seemed to be shocked and slightly panicked over the thought of being sworn in as a Royal of
the Vampires. Her father was the King of All Vampires, so it was only fitting that her birthright be
observed. I touched the pendent at my neck, and felt my love for Alora well up from within.
This was a gift I would treasure for the rest of our lives. I liked that I wouldn’t have to take it off when I
transformed, so did Zane, he was already visualizing himself walking around displaying it proudly on
his chest.
Ignoring Zane and his fantasy, I focus on our mate, who was sitting straight and spacing out. (This
novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)No…not spacing, that didn’t seem right. Her
expression was completely blank now, no longer looking shocked as it had a second ago.
Darien was trying to tease her about her new status as a royal, when he got no reaction from her, he
looked at her in confusion, then worry. “Alora…did you hear what I said?” Darien was asking her.
“Alora?”
He looks at me and sees the frown on my face. “Starlight? What is it?” I ask her.
Just as I reached out to shake her shoulder she came to with a gasp, and then looks at me in
excitement “I need to go into the Mansions Library.” she says.
I’m confused as to why, but I believe my mate just had another vision, so I would go along with her, and
protect her from harm. “Okay, when do you want to go?”
She didn’t even hesitate, there was so much excitement in her expression as she nearly shouted “Now,
I want to go now.” tugging firmly at my arm and I stand.
She turned around and started to pull me with her hand in mine, then stops abruptly and looks at my
father “Will you and Luna stay here with my mom and dad?” she asked suddenly, sparking more
questions within me, but I was going to wait to ask them, I had a feeling most would be answered
shortly.
Stephanie looked delighted at being called mom, and her father happy at her acknowledgment of him.
It struck me then, Alora’s approval and affection, was something they had feared not having.
They hadn’t needed to…but I could see all the reasons why they would worry. They genuinely loved
Alora already, I could see it in the purity of their auras. Being the Alpha of Alpha’s was more than just
brute strength, there were other abilities I had to work at and train.
My mother smiled delightedly at Alora, my fathers look was that of a doting father in-law. “Of course
we’ll stay here, you kids go off and do whatever it is.” he said. O
“Thank you.” and Alora did something I wasn’t used to her doing she hugged the Alpha, showing her
affection more freely than she had before.
She broke a little more out of the chained up steel cage her caring nature and loving personality had
been shoved into. Forced there with every beating she had taken from those people’.
My father was, of course delighted and proud to have been granted her affection, she then hugged my
mom, thanking her too. She turned to her Dad and her new mom. Then she hugged her father, kissing
him on the cheek, then turning to Stephanie she said “Mom.” before hugging Stephanie kissing her
cheek too. O
The King and Queen fairly shone with the happiness Alora’s affection brought them. (This novel will be
daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Alora glowing just as brightly in her own happiness, It felt like warm
sunshine through the bond, making me happy for her.
I was so deeply in love with this female, and I new each of my past selves had loved her just as deeply.
Our bond was so deep we came back again and again to be with each other, and I know we will again
many, many more times. 2
She smiled, grabs my hand again, then looked at the rest of our group, “Come on you lot, you’ll want to
see this, Master Brock, Master Sam you too.” Issuing her orders, although the words didn’t sound like
orders, especially in her bright and happy tone, they had the weight of orders to them.
So the others got up and like me, followed a smiling glowing Alora as she lead the way down an
internal stairway that went inside the stadium seating. Once at the bottom of the stairway, the path split.
One way lead to public restrooms and the other to the hallway leading out of the massive structure to
the next one, the Heartsong Mansion.
Each of the upper and lower floor balconies around the mansion was for a three to five bedroom full
sized apartment suite, with communal living rooms and a small kitchenette in each room.
The reason the kitchenettes in the rooms were small, was because wolves liked to gather together in
big groups at meal time. There were four large dinning areas, set up with large round tables
everywhere capable of seating up to fifteen wolves at a time. The kitchens had windows every few feet
along a wall that spanned one entire wall in each of the four dinning areas, one per wing.
They should look like a cafeteria, but for the decor, thick wooden furniture and plush cushioning on the
chairs in warm colors. The dark wood floors and the gentle but warm colored paint on the walls, under
the pictures and ancient paintings, made them almost intimate. Each dinning hall exiting onto patio
spaces in the courtyard, the tall wide glass doors all along the exterior sides of the Dining Halls letting
in light and providing beautiful views. 2
Alora led us into the massive courtyard in the center of the mansion. On this side of the mansion, all
the floors had a wrap around deck, the top deck being covered by the extended roof of the mansion.
There were winding stairways at regular intervals all around, leading from the top deck to the bottom
one and then out into the courtyard.
There were winding pathways through all the different gardens that made up the massive court yard.
There were white stone benches spread out sporadically along the paths so you could stop and enjoy
the gardens.
The path Alora took us on lead to the large Koi pond and the Japanese Style walking bridge that
curved up over the pond, the pathway continued a few short steps on the other side, before curving to
the right, we were directly in front of the willow tree.
The path stopped at a wide and long white stone bench, the bench faced the pond, the ground under
the bench raised up higher than the pond, the willow being at the top of a small incline, it was a perfect
spot to watch the Koi.
(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)There were beautiful carvings all over it, a lot of
intricate knots, some forming wolves in different stages, running, howling, laying down, standing. There
were small Stars and Crescent Moons outlining the intricate knots on both sides.
It was amazing work, and I felt immediately attached to this bench and the art work. Alora stopped and
looked at me when she felt me slowing to a stop in front of the bench. I use her hold on my hand and
draw her to my side. Letting go of her hand, I wrap my arm around her waist.
“This bench…” I say, my voice is husky and deep “I feel like it’s important to me.”
She stills as she studies the bench, then after a while seems to melt into my side. “That’s because it is
special, they made it together, a near century long labor of love.” she says softly.
Her warm feelings coming through the bond filled me up with her warmth and love. So this is why this
bench is so important to me. Then I noticed Zane. He was sitting there, quietly studying the bench,
looking at it fondly, surrounded in a black nebulous like always.
He never showed me his ‘space’ telling me “I’ll show you someday, when the time is right.” I’ve never
understood why my wolf always sounded like an old soul to me…but I was starting to have my
suspicions.
‘Zane, what do you know about this bench?’ I asked him.
‘Our Starlight would lay on the ground under this Magic Grandmother Willow tree and watch the Koi for hours, it was her favorite spot‘ He said “We didn’t want her to have to lay on the ground, so we made Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

could hold her, and share in the peace this place brought her.”(This novel will be daily updtaed at

“One day, we decided that the bench looked too plain, and we wanted to make it look special, for her. So for hours a day, while she watched the Koi we would carve the knots into the bench.” His voice full
of remembered emotions.
“Then one day she started to do her own carvings, surrounding ours, encasing them in her love of us. It took years as we did all this with our claws, one more element to show our love, this became our special place.” his voice was rough with his emotions.
“Have you always been my wolf?” I asked him.
‘I was created the day your soul was conceived into existence, and I have been reincarnated with you every time since, and will continue to be for all eternity.” he tells me “Just as Selena and Xena were created at the moment of her souls conception…. it’s why it takes a specific hybrid among the Heartsongs for her to come
“Are we always born with her, or have we lived without her?” I asked him.
‘No, we are always born within ten years of each other, and if she were to pass away before we met her, we would die within a few years without our mate‘ he tells me, their was a grim quality to his tone.
“We were meant to come together in your grandfathers time, but a landslide took her life before we
could meet, one caused by unnatural means.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” he
tells me. 2
I remembered my grandfather telling me about how his older brother had perished young, and without
a mate, he had died at nineteen, of an unknown wasting sickness, a few years after the landslide I
knew he must have been talking about. The landslide was still an unsolved mystery in the Pack, it had
killed many wolves that day. (10
