A blush burned across Alora’s cheeks, she wasn’t used to being addressed so respectfully, but then again, this was the first tir Alora and Xena had let their Alpha’s aura loose. Now that it was out, it refused to be fully tucked away again. Instead, the power it would only retreat to just under her skin.
This meant any wolf that got within reach of Alora would feel it. I was not something Alora had wanted announced to everyo just yet. Not before she had completely broken free of her family, and their Clans.
Gripping the back of her neck, Alora tilted her face to the sky, her eyes closed, and her brows furrowed. Alora had thought abo the problem for a moment.
“Does it really matter if our cards are revealed now or later?” Xena asked, before adding in a tired whisper that sounded suspiciously like whining. “I’m so tired of hiding what we are.”
Opening her eyes, Alora studied the fluffy gray and white clouds drifting above. Her expression was serious as she continued to think. Galen and Kain stood there silently, observing her actions and having a conversation of their own.
“I don’t like it” Galen said to Kain through their mind link.
“Don’t like what?” Kain asked him, although he
dy had a suspicion.
“Her worry over being addressed as what she is.” Galen responded, his voice holding a growl.
“Ah, then we are on the same page, but you know, I’ve come to realize something.” Kain said.
“Is it the same realization I’ve had?” Galen asked him.
“That all those rumors about Alora always started with Sarah, and then were spread by the Frost and Northmountain’s that are close: to her.” Kain said, his tone grim.
“Yup, that’s the one” Galen said ruefully.
Darien and Serenity were staring into each other’s eyes smiling. They were oblivious to what was going on next to them at the moment. Lost in their own world together. Darien looked at her bare neck, and the spot where she would wear his mark.
His gums ached with the need to bite and mark her now, but he wouldn’t be so disrespectful to her. First, he needed to gain her permission to mark her. Then Darien would have Serenity decide when that would happen and where they were going to be for it.
Some wolves liked to do a ceremony, where the mating bite of the mate would be the equivalent of exchanging rings in a human wedding. Because they were Werewolves, the mating mark was your marriage certificate.
It was the same with all supernaturals, even Witches and Warlocks had a way to mark their mate or mates. A supernatural being, fated to more than one mate was not uncommon. In fact, Dragon Masters are always fated to have two mates, forming mated triads.
Your mate was not always the opposite sex either, your Gods and Goddesses would not force you to mate with a being you were not physically attracted to. Werewolves were the only Supernaturals more commonly fated in pairs than triads.
Especially the Alpha’s, Alpha’s being of a triad was exceedingly rare. There had been one, but neither of the Alpha Werewolf’s two mates were werewolves themselves. One was a Vampire, and the other a Witch.
One reason Darien wanted Serenity to decide when she would accept his mark. Is that once a Supernatural being marked their mate, their heat would come any time within four to seven weeks after. Heats were to do two things, one, was to solidify the bonds between mated pairs and mated triads.

The other reason for heats was that female partners would be at their most fertile then. Without proper preparation, the females were almost guaranteed to get pregnant. The mating fever though, that was a whole other matter.
The mating fever is an increasing, and sometimes unbearable need to claim your fated mate. It starts within moments of meeting your fated mate. You can deny it for two days at most, but there are consequences, when the need has made all parties involved mindless. Like the tearing off of each other’s clothes and putting on public show kind of consequences.
While Darien and Serenity were lost to each other, Alora came to decision. One she voiced out. “Fuck it, hiding is too exhausting but seeing as we’re all about to become rather close thanks to those two,” Alora said wryly with a thumb pointed Darien and Serenity’s direction, “you should call me Alora.”
Kain and Galen both grinned, this side of Alora was amusing to them. Usually, Alora was doing her best to melt into the background, when she wasn’t interacting with Darien and her teachers.
Alora turned her head back around to face Darien and Serenity, a sad smile on her face again. It tugged at Kain’s heartstrings,
prompting him to ask his question before he could stop himself.

“Why do you look so sad?” He asked, his deep baritone soft.

I love how Dizzy added in a touch of Egyptian flair with the names of Kain (much prefer Kian by the way) and Galen’s wolves. I picked it up the first time I read it but I just final…
