Werewolf’s Heartsong

Chapter 31

Alora’s POV

Serenity is pulling me in the direction of her Jeep, the Twins and Darien not far behind, heading to his

car parked only fifteen spots away in the same row as hers. I start thinking and then say to myself ‘I

wonder what kind of music she likes’. This would be a good time to find out. I had eclectic music tastes,

when the abuse got really bad I would listen to metal music, like In This Moment. I wonder if she would

like that or something like Twenty One Pilots.

Maybe she listened to country music, that was a horror I didn’t want to imagine. I did not like Country

music. It grated on my nerves, there were maybe a total of six songs I could

stand from that genre. I have learned to like some hip hop and rap, but not

a lot mostly Eminem, Logic and NF lately, the earlier works of Tech Nine. Most of my taste encompass

all ranges of rock music, from the old, like Pat Benatar to the heaviest Metal, like Arch Enemy.

I was also into foreign rock, trap, dubstep and instrumental music. I would listen to symphonies every

now and then. This made artist like Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation among my favorites. Then you

sprinkle in Disturbed, Infected Rain, Chavelle, Granson, The Tech Thieves, AVIVA, Neoni, and a few

others and you start getting a huge playlist rang. My YouTube Music could go on for days with as long

as my liked list has gotten.

I remembered that her jeep had the top off. This made sense to me, most werewolves owned a

convertible of some sort or a motorcycle, we loved having the wind in our face’s.

Although there was the occasional SUV like the Alpha’s, who still had a large sun roof he opened, but

most had jeeps and bronco’s that had detachable tops. Or if not a convertible, the car always had a

sunroof, that and the windows were always open.

Unless the weather was bad, that was the only time tops were reattached or put up, windows and

sunroofs closed. I hated those times, they always made me feel claustrophobic. Darien knowing my

preference and feelings on the matter, had always tried to keep the windows cracked a little, unless we

were in a downpour or a blizzard. He would just turn up the heat if it was cold and tolerate the damp of

the rain

Darien was really a great friend, he’s proven again and again why he’s my best friend. Serenity is bright

like sunshine, her soul fairly radiates with

kindness, this makes me feel like they were a perfect match. They would be good to each other, and

despite Dariens panic over the subject earlier, I believed they would make wonderful parents. I could

imagine them with a dozen pups. And I would love being Aunty to every single one.

I smile, my heart warmed by the thought. Xena comments I would help teach the pups to hunt and defend themselves’ she tells me. “We will both teach them, and love them.” I tell her. Then a desire

starts to form, one I tell Xena about. “And maybe someday, we will have pups of our own to play with

theirs” That wish suddenly hitting me and making me sad at the same time.

It was a reminder that I was rejected. Although it was just this morning that it happened, it felt longer

than that with all that’s happened this day. Goddess it was only three in the

afternoon and it felt like it should be three days from now. That’s how much has happened to me in this

day, so many emotions and memories felt and relived. So many changes in such a short period of time.

E

I was suddenly feeling exhausted, absolutely drained. But I couldn’t give in to the feeling yet, I had

more to do, a confrontation with my family. I didn’t know how it would go down. I mean I was going to

be arriving with the Alpha, Darien and three Enforcers who were now like family to me in such a short

time. I didn’t think it would go over well.

But that was ok, I wouldn’t let them get to me anymore. I refused to allow them to abuse me anymore.

They have done so many atrocious things to me. I was tired of it all, I would defend myself now. I have

fought for my freedom. Now that I had it I wouldn’t allow them to take it away

from me, not ever again. I would fight them to my death or theirs to stay free. 2

We get to her Jeep, then get in. She connects her phone to the stereo then opens her YouTube music

app. Goes to her likes and hits shuffle. The song that first comes on is Castle by Halsey. This was a

good indication I would like the rest of her music list. “So what do you think we’ll be walking into?” she

asks me. 2)

“I’m not really sure.” I tell her honestly, “I have no idea how their going to act around the Alpha.”

“You think they behave themselves in front of the Alpha?” she asks.

“I would hope so, they usually would to maintain their public image.” I tell her.

“You think they might act differently

in private?” she asks.

“They always have.” I revealed.

“What do you mean?” was her next question.

The song on now is Till I Collapse by Eminem, still liking her playlist. “They didn’t act out their abuse to

me in front of others, they hated those times.”

Still thinking about those few times I reveal another fact off my abuse to her. “Those were the times

they would hurt me after we made it back to the house, usually a beating.” I tell her.

She gasps. “I’m so sorry Alora, do you think they will try to get physical with you while the Alpha is

there?” she asks her tone worried.

“I think they won’t get physical in

front of him, but they will most likely become verbal.” I tell her.

The song switches to Believer by Imangine Dragons. “So you think they will stay verbal?” she asks for

confirmation.

“Yeah, in front of the Alpha.” I answered her.

She’s silent for a moment, her expression is contemplative. “What exactly do you mean by in front of

the Alpha?” she asks finally.

Mad Hatter by Melanie Martinez comes on. “I believe if they thought they could get away with it they

would find a way to separate me from you all and try and beat me.” I say to her.

“And what reason would they have for beating you.” she asks in indignation, angry that they would.

“They think they have plenty of reasons why right now” I tell her.

“What would those be. She asks with honest curiosity.

“Well for starters I dared to abandon the family name before they could strip me of it themselves.” I

state, she rolls her eyes.

They deserved it.” she says.

Bulletproof by Godsmack plays. “Then there is the whole showing up Sarah by being First Rank in the

Alpha Class.” 2 Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She lets out a gasp. “You’ve got to be bloody kidding me.” she says shocked

“Nope, how dare I be better than their precious Ice Princess.” I say sarcasm in my tone, making her

snort a laugh. We’re quiet for a moment, just listening to the music. Sex Metal

Barbie by In This Moment comes on, that’s when I have to say. “I’m loving your playlist, and this is one

of my favorites.” 2

She smiles “Thanks, my tastes are sporadic and all over the place.” she says.

I smile at her. “So are mine, Goddess are they, you should look at my playlist.” I tell her.

Still smiling she says “I will, we could compare our lists see how they match up.” I love the Idea.

“I’d love that.” I tell her.

“So what other reasons would your parents have to be angry besides removing your last name and

being better than their ‘Precious Ice Princess as you put it.” Serenity getting us back on topic.

“There was the ignoring their order to

go to the Principal’s office. starting to tick of more of my “offences” as they would think of them. 2

“Then there was receiving my birthright at lunch today, when I was given that Mansion.” Monster

featuring Rihanna by Eminem comes on.

“Then there was being registered to the pack as my own Alpha.” she gasps at this.

“Really? Your a registered Alpha.” her voice excited. 2

“Yup, that was part of what the Alpha was explaining to me at lunch.” I remind her.

“Shoot, I was having trouble concentrating.” She tells me.

I smirk, I can’t help but teasing. “Kept staring at Darien didn’t you.” I accuse with laughter in my tone

She blushes. “Yes! Okay, he’s so hot, and sexy, and he smells so good and he’s my mate.” she whines

for understanding

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.”
