The Song In the Alpha’s Heart
Chapter 20
While Alora’s birth mother’s identity was irrefutable, Darien still couldn’t believe Allister was her biological father. Especially, with the looks Darien and Damien, both had witnessed him giving Alora, more than once. Not able to hold back anymore, Darien, Serenity, Kain and Galen ran over to surround Alora.
Darien grabbed Sarah’s wrist, then after pulling her away from Alda, shoved her in Matt’s direction. She stumbled back, then fell
10 to the pavement with a shriek of pain. Sarah jumped back up and shrieked in anger. “You bastard!”
Darien snarled and released his Alpha’s aura. “Say that to me again.” He said, his growled words holding both his and Axel’s
voice.
It had an interesting effect on those in the crowd, almost at once, the beings all tilted their heads, barring their necks. Sarah stumbled back again, nearly falling to the ground once more, Sarah’s angry expression had changed to one of absolute terror.
Serenity looked at Alora, then started to fish around in her Pack. It had been picked up off the ground by her brother Galen, before he and Kain had tried to sneak up on Alora, Serenity pulled out a pack of wet Kleenex, she stepped up to Alora. Alora was a little startled when the shorter female popped up in front of her.
Then Alora froze completely, when the female reached up with a wet cloth and started to wipe the blood, she could taste, off the corners of her mouth. Werewolves, and most other shifter beings, are touchy feely creatures. They thrived in the touch and comfort of their family members, and Clan.
Alora was not used to being touched, not unless it was with the intent to harm. Alora, so used to blows from those closest to her, shied away from the touch of others, instinctively expecting a blow. Alora couldn’t trust any of her family’s Clan members either. Those close to Sarah, would often join Sarah in beating her up when they were all gathered together.
It took years before Darien or Damien could brush up against her accidentally, or touch her affectionately, without Alora flinching away from them or freezing up, ready to defend herself. It Happened by accident, Alora’s aura seeped out a little, a warning.
Serenity felt Alora’s aura seep over her the moment she touched her. It was like she was touching a feral animal, something wild and untamed. Serenity didn’t stop what she was doing though, she finished wiping the blood off Alora’s mouth.
Alora, forced herself to calm down, having Xena tell her it was okay and to remember that this female belonged to ‘Brother, helped. Alora noted her touch was gentle, she had a sad expression on her face, but her striking eyes were open and filled with the warmth of a truly good person.
Kain and Galen watched as their sister attended Alora, like their mother would have them. Only at first it looked like their baby sister had startled a wild creature you shouldn’t touch. Alora’s aura had reached them just after it covered Serenity. It was a few tense moments before the brothers felt like they could breathe again
A tangible amount of sweat had actually gathered on Kain and Galen’s foreheads. While this was happening, Matt had finally been able to heave himself off the ground. The expression on Matt’s face as he looked at Sarah, was ons of disgust and anger. This startled Darien enough he was able to calm down. Axel suddenly started to examine Matt very closely.
Wolves could see other wolves in a way their humanoid forms could not. Axel was startled, it seemed the blockage between Matt and Ares was no longer there. Whatever it was had been broken, and Ares did not like Sarah at all
Matt dragged Sarah away without a word. Unfortunately for them, as Sarah was being dragged away by Matt, the chose to start shrieking again. “YOU WHORE! JUST WAIT TILL MOMMY AND DADDY FIND OUT YOU TRIED TO STEAL MY BOYFRIEND FROM
ME
Then Sarah was too far away to keep yelling at Alora, but she could be heard ranting to Matt, her words thankfully indiscernible Darien turned in time to witness his mate finish wiping blood off Algra’s mouth. Darien tensed for a moment, before realizing Alora was calmly allowing this.

He knew how hard it was for Alora to be touched by others. That Alora had allowed it, spoke in volumes to Darien how much Alora liked his mate. He felt an internal sigh of relief, especially seeing the gentle way his mate looked at Alora.
Darien pulled out his phone and sent a text to his parents. With his mom being an ER Doc and his dad being the Alpha of Alpha’s, he didn’t want to distract his parents if they were doing something important by mind linking them. His mother could be performing surgery, and his father could possibly be in an important conference.
This wasn’t an emergency, so a text message would do, they would message him back when they had time. Of course, Darien had forgotten momentarily that today was not a normal day. Today was the High School Seniors‘ fight training exam day. The parents of all the Seniors were going to be there today. This included his, and they were already there.
