FULL NOVELXO Chapter 73
Chapter 73
Alora’s POV
Watching my very, Alpha wolf, mate step back from his mother’s glare like that had been funny. I had giggled. I imagine Serenity
is going to be just like Luna Ember, with her and Darien’s pups. I was happy. I had a mate. And It was the wolf I knew I had
always wanted it to be, but I had pushed down, ignored and denied that want. I was already so in love with him.
The Luna keeps me at her side leading me away from my mate. While he is looking at his mother like she’s keeping him from
getting what he wanted. And she was, she knew he wanted me at his side. He had been clutching me close. So the Luna was
doing this to torment her son. I swear I can almost hear a whine leave him as she takes me away. But it’s only to the kitchen
table where a breakfast feast for werewolves was set.
Luckily, the Luna was nice enough to sit me next to her, with the chair on my other side empty for Damien to sit in. The
disappointment disappeared from his eyes and he practically dove into his seat next to me. Sending me and the Luna into a fit of
giggles. He glares a little sullenly at his mother. This only made her laugh. Alpha Andrew walked in then.
Seeing his own mate, the Luna, laughing he stops and smiles at her, his love for her shining clearly in his eyes. I let out a soft
sigh and smile at the couple. Damien leans down and kisses the top of my head. I turn and look up into his eyes, the emotion I
see in his gaze can’t be described any other way then love. ‘Is it so hard for me to believe, that I might actually be worthy of
love?‘
He must have seen or felt it, because his eyes while still full of love, had a sad understanding in them now. “I love you Starlight,
more then I can ever say.” he says to me in a soft rough whisper. The sound sent a whip of fire hot lust through me. I smile at
him, grateful he was here again, back in my life, and now, my mate. 2
“Goddess I’m so in love with you.” I hadn’t realized I had gasped that out till he was kissing me.
“Well now, I’m fairly certain I’ve missed an important development. But judging by the marks on their necks I believe we now
know where our son spent the night, instead of in his room.” said Alpha Andrew, I feel my cheeks flame to life as I pull away from
Damien to peek up at the Alpha.
He’s smiling, laughter in his eyes. The Luna had her chair up against his, and the Alpha had his arm
out before you walked in.” she tells him.
“Well from what I understand, Damien was in a very big hurry to make it home last night.” he tells the Luna,
She looks up at him, Damien stiffens at my side “Oh? And how do you know this dear?” she asks with a smile.
“Well apparently Damien was in such a big hurry, he and his Beta got pulled over last night.” The Alpha says. O
I feel Damien shift in his seat next to me, I look up at him but he’s not meeting my gaze and there was a dark blush staining his
cheeks. I begin to smile. “Oh really?” asked the Luna.
“Yes, they had been speeding down the highway at a hundred and twenty miles an hour.” he says.
The Luna gasps “That fast?”
The Alpha nods. “Yes, and when they got pulled over, they were apparently so angry, the Werewolves who pulled them over
nearly wet their pants.” says the Alpha.
Darien spews the orange juice he just gulped and was chocking. Serenity was laughing and trying to help him by ponding his
back. The twins, my Beta and my Gamma, were laughing loudly.
The Luna was giggling. “Now my son what would have had you in such a hurry to get home.” her eyes dancing with mirth at her
sons expense.
He clears his throat, his cheeks a dark red, and shifts in his seat.” I may have....been a little.....desperate.... to get home to
Alora.” he says. This making everyone laugh.
I touch his shoulder, he looks down at me, and sees my smile. “Did you already know?” I ask him. Wondering if he had know I
was his mate before leaving the School. 2
He stairs in my eyes for a moment “Zane told me, the night before I called you.” he tells me, making me gasp. His hand goes up
to my cheek, “I’ve always loved you Starlight, now you are my mate, like you were always meant to be.” he tells me, butterflies fill
my stomach and my heart melts. If it were possible, i’d be on the floor. The puddle that was once Alora.(
IS
I lean up and kiss his cheek “I’ve always loved you too Damien.” I tell him, feeling the, now permanent, blush on my cheeks heat
more.
We hear a chorus of awes and look up, there they were. The entire family of busy bodies staring at us, smiling. We were now the
breakfast entertainment.
Till I smelt something, wolves can get pregnant outside of their heat, but it’s not common. Smiling, almost smug, I look at Darien,
he looks at me and his smile drops. A look of trepidation enters his
gaze.
“Has anyone noticed Serenity’s scent has changed?” I ask in a teasing tone, smiling like a cat who ate the canary. Darien pales,
then turns and starts to sniff his mate. He sits back with a stunned look on his face, everyone else is now sniffing her. »
The Luna jumps and squeals in excitement “Oh! I get grandpups soon! Andrew grandpups! It’s finally happening.” the Alpha
chuckles and laughs over his mates antics.
“Congratulations Serenity, we are obviously very happy with the turn of events.” said Alpha Andrew his tone filled with
amusement.
Darien is just sitting there, stunned “But you haven’t had your heat yet.” his tone low and shocked. His look bewildered.
I laugh at him “Females can get pregnant outside their heat, It’s just not very common, because most mated females are on a
form of birth control, or the male wears protection.” I give him the basic
science lesson of female biology.
He looks stunned and a little guilty “Didn’t use protection did ya?” I asked him, laughing again at his blush. A
He glares at me then askes “Are you on birth control or did he use protection last night?” he snaps the question at me.
I smile at him at him. I feel Damien move to look down at me. “No, we didn’t use protection,” I tell him, Darien looks almost
triumphant till I add “Yes I’m on a form of birth control, I made sure just in case Allister ever tried to rape me again.” the last was
given grimly.
Damien was growling, his anger at my statement blasting through our mate bond, I had forgotten I hadn’t told him this part. I
never intended to tell him. Everyone else in the kitchen was silent as they all realized I had only protected myself from
pregnancy, because I had been in the very real danger of being raped....by the man I had thought was my father for so long.
I look at him, his eyes had shifted to wolf, and he was nearly snarling. “I’m sorry Damien, I shouldn’t have said that.” I say, his
attention snapped to me. His brow furrowed in anger and confusion.
“Your sorry?” he askes. “Why is it you are sorry? They’re the ones who should be sorry!” he snarls. I’m not afraid, because I
knew, and felt I wasn’t the one he was mad at.
No...his rage was for those people...the ones who had treated me less then trash. “They touched my mate.” The words were
filled with rage and pain. The pain at what they had done to me.
I was starting to worry, how much did he know? “What do you know Damien.” I ask, my voice carful. How much did he know? I
couldn’t help but worry again. 2
“I know everything you’ve told Darien and my parents, and of all the events that have happened in the last two days.” he says.
Confirming my worry that he did indeed know a lot, and he had still accepted me as his mate. (2
I don’t know why I’m shocked, Damien was the kind of male who would have accepted his mate no matter what. This is just one
more trauma those people have left me with.
I was starting to think...seeking out some counseling...would be a good idea. Now that I’m free of them, I was starting to
recognize a lot of my reactions, and break downs, as signs of post traumatic

I guess nobody’s perfect, not even a Clan Alpha.
