Chapter 20
Principal Johnathan’s POV
Beta Boris, his mate Lissanna, Alpha Andrew, Luna Ember and I were all on the bottom seat of the bleachers next to the support beam we had all recently hid behind. The Luna had discretely recorded the hole interaction with Sarah’s three friends and Matthew. As we listened to the conversation between the four, we had all gradually started to drift out from behind the beam, and watched as Matthew burned the sachets. I was horrified that these poor girls had been under a spell for the past ten years. Half of their life span.
It made me sick to my stomach. And then that scream , that horrible agonized scream, the pain that she wolf was in could be felt by everyone who heard that scream. Then the way
she collapsed in on herself, sobbing like her world had ended. We didn’t have to wait long for an explanation. And oh how I hated what that reason was, that Sarah was too cruel to be allowed to stay free.
“She made me reject my mate!” was her agonized keening cry. Sarah’s crimes now severe and accumulating. That’s two children she’s taken mates from now. My wolf Lucas was also in distress. The pups, their pain is all he whines out.
I suppress my own tears at the pain caused to these children. As the Principal of this school it is my job to protect my students. We didn‘t protect them, the pups are hurt Lucas says. “I have failed in my duty, Alpha.” I tell Andrew, my voice husky. “What do you mean Johnathan?” he asks, I look into his eyes, their just as sad. “I wasn’t able to protect my students,
none of this ever should have happened.” 4
He shakes his head. “No Johnathan, you didn’t fail in your duties, there is no way you could have know about any of this.” He looks at the children. “But what I can do is give justice to these children. I’ll mind link the parents now, and have them meet us at the pack house at seven tonight.” he says, then looking around at each of us states “I’ll need everyone here to be there as well.” I want justice for the pups stated Lucas We will help them get it I tell him.
As we watched, the girls parents arrived. Beatris’s father picks her up and cradles her to his chest. “She made me reject my mate.” she keens, this time in a low voice. This caused her father to hold her tighter, her mother has tears streaming down her cheeks, her hand over her mouth as
she hurries to keep up with her Mate. Lauren and Agatha are explaining to their parents as well, both girls crying.
Agatha’s grandmother grabs her into a hug, she sobs into her shoulder, her parents petting her back and hair. Laurens parents are now holding her as she cries. The Beta and his mate went to their son, his mother hugging him, his father had his hand on his shoulder, he was watching the girls, his face grief stricken. So much pain has been caused by such small innocuous looking sachet of herbs.
This is why Witches have forbidden the practice of spells like these, and they can get you banned from your Coven or Executed by the Magic Council, which oversees all Witches, Wizards, Wiccan’s and Warlocks. The Vampire’s Council oversaw the Vampires. Our territory was the seat
of power for all the Northern Continental Werewolves, our Alpha was the Alpha of all the other Alpha’s. He was also on the The Northern Continental Shifter Council. Werewolves are not the only breed of shifters out there.
The Alpha would remain on the Council till he either died, or passed it down to his son. For the mixed breed shifters, Goddess blessed mating’s between breeds becoming more common, they belonged to
whichever group their parents chose to be apart of, we had several mixed breeds in our Pack. The bear- wolf mixes making the strongest of
Enforcers, a respected position.
For hybrids, which were also becoming increasingly common, because more and more Supernaturals were finding their fated mate in another species, it
depended on what your crime could be labeled as, once that was determined you were sentenced by that councils laws regarding your transgression.
Then there were the Dragon Masters. They were a rare sight. And the most powerful beings on this earth. There is little to no information about them, they were a mystery. It is said that when you meet one, you knew it. You knew not to disrespect or anger this being, your every instinct will scream at you in warning. If that was the case, I’d rather not meet one.
I left the arena, We were no longer needed here anymore. The Alpha and Luna had left to meet up with their party for lunch. Our mate would join us in attending the lunch as well, I was to witness Alora being signed over the Heartsong Mansion. Lucas and I were in need of the comfort and
touch of our mate right now, after so much heartache, we needed her in our arms.
Alora’s POV 1
The Alpha and Luna had me ride in the car with them, Darien and Serenity, on the drive to a popular Werewolf owned steak house. They already said they were paying for my meal, as I was now theirs to take care of. That felt good, being claimed by them was amazing to me. My own parents hadn’t wanted me. But the Alpha and Luna did, and they were taking me away from my parents, the elation and relief I felt at that was astronomical.
I was almost giddy with the feelings. But I tried to calm myself down. I didn’t want to get to happy, and then despair when it was gone. That was an awful feeling, I don’t want to
drown in my own despair like that anytime soon or ever again. I don‘t ever want to feel that way again either Xena commented.
To my surprise Elder Silas, the lawyer for the Werewolf Council joined us. When we had all put in our order’s Silas brought out a brief case. “The Deed, The Will and paperwork are in here Alpha.”
“Perfect, lets get this done before that woman can do anymore damage.” He says. I wonder who he’s talking about. He looks at me his gaze serious. “There is a Will, that was left by your mothers father, he filed it with the Werewolf Council.” he tells me.
My face scrunches in confusion. Xena is listening, also confused. Why is the Alpha mentioning Grandfather‘s will? asked Xena I don‘t know was my
answer.
The Alpha continues “In the will he states that his Mansion and his wealth were to be placed into a Trust, and cared for till ownership could pass to the first granddaughter to receive the crescent moon and star mark of the Heartsong lineage. In a
contingency it states that if none of his granddaughters receive the mark by the youngests twenty first birthday, all ownership and wealth will be redistributed to your mother.
“It also has a stipulation for the granddaughter that has the crescent moon and star mark. To claim ownership you have to legally, and by a blood oath, swear to the Alpha, with the change of your surname
to Heartsong.” I stare at him, Xena is staring through my eyes, both of us stunned. “What does this mean?” I ask him.
“This means that you will be the new owner of the Heartsong Mansion and accompanying thousand acres and all that is on them, and all your grandfathers wealth. The Heartsong’s were, are, I guess I should say now, being as you bare the last name, the wealthiest wolves of all the Northern Continental Packs.” I’m absolutely stunned. I can’t say anything at this point.
“I was going to wait till after your graduation to have the transfers done, but your mother has made it necessary for it to be today.” He tells me. Silas pulls out the paperwork, they hand me a pen. Mechanically I sign and initial where they tell me using my new signature and initials. Every thing is complete in the space of ten minutes.
Still stunned I’m pulled from my daze when the Alpha starts talking again.
“With this you are now officially a Noble of the Northern Continental Wolves, and our Pack. You are the Alpha Female of the Heartsong’s and now the Matriarch of your own line. Your parents can’t touch you anymore.” he tells me. Does this mean we‘re free? Xena asks, It does, we‘re free, we‘re finally free I tell her. novelbin
“We’re free, we’re finally free.” I say out loud, hardly believing it, then I laugh, I look at Darien. “I’m free, I’m finally free.” Then the world goes dark. I hear a scream from somewhere as I feel myself crash to the floor. Then nothing as I’m thrust into unconsciousness.
