Chapter 23
“I think we should all be asking two important questions.” Brock’s deep baritone gained everyone’s attention, “Question one is, who gets to tell Damien about this? The second question is, how much do we tell him”
Brock’s words had Jonathan thinking back to a day that took place five years ago. Back then, he had already been aware of Alota, and the special circumstances surrounding her education. As Alora had already started attending his high school while still in middle school.
It also helped that Jonathan and the Principal of the Middle school were brothers. So naturally he had been fully informed as to how Alpha Andrew and Luna Ember, gained a conservatorship over fora’s education.
Everything went through them, they were the only ones authorized to have any say in Alora’s education. If Alora’s educational future had been left to Bettina and Allister…she would have never advanced beyond middle school.
Jonathan remembered sitting in this very office, the last day of that scho vear. In walked a youth he knew very well, the oldest son of the Pack’s Alpha. Damien had already been an intimidating individual since he was a young pup. Always having had the air of an Alpha.
Jonathan had stood up and looked into that blue on blue gaze of Damien’s. Damien’s hair had been bound back in a tight braid that draped over his shoulder. One he had witnessed a young Alora, with large luminescent violet silver ringed eyes, put in herself earlier that day.
Jonathan hadn’t known at first why Damien was there, but it had become clear later. Damien was leaving the Pack’s territory, to go to an Alpha University that was located nearly thirty eight hours away. Damien would be living on campus while attending the University and would only be able to come back to visit sporadically.
Damien had wanted to make sure that in his absence, Jonathan would make sure Alora was taken care of while he was away. It was very obvious to everyone that Alora was someone very special to Damien. Damien had been the biggest barrier between Alora and any would–be bullies.
Jonathan was brought back to the present when the Alpha spoke suddenly.
“I asked Damien once, what Alora meant to his wolf Zane and him” Alpha Andrew said in a deep voice.
Alpha Andrew’s voice was one that could either bring you the greatest comfort or instill the most bladder and bowel–emptying
fear.
Alpha Andrew had been looking at the picture on his phone for a while before he spoke. Looking down at the special female with a greater destiny than even she knew. Alora had no idea what was waiting for her after today.
When Damien had left to finalize his education, he had gotten a promise from his father. This promise was that no matter how bad or upsetting the information would be. They had to tell Damien all of it, every detail, leaving nothing out.
This has not the first time Andrew wished he’d not given Damien that promise now. Only because he knew this would cause his pup much pain. Prompting Andrew to remember that long ago question, and the answer his pup gave him.
Everyone was looking at Andrew, waiting for him to tell them the jest. “He told me, his wolf said Alora would be the most important thing to them in the world.” His voice was rough with emotion.
Brock thought that, although Alpha Andrew was the Alpha of Alpha’s, this didn’t mean he was an emotionless and cold hearted bastard. There were too many who thought that’s what it took to be good Alpha, but it wasn’t
To be a good Alpha, they needed to be able to actually give a dam about the beings in their care. Brock Booked at his best friend since pup hood, now his Alpha. It didn’t take much to see that his trend was thinking some heavy thoughts

Brock wished he could wring Matt’s neck right now, rejecting a treasure like Alora for something mangy like Sarah. It had hurt him to watch, and hear it happen. “Alora didn’t even flinch when the rejection had hit her. Alora’s expression remained the same throughout the entire ordeal.” Brock said aloud absentmindedly.
Ember looked at Brock, her eyes were glittering with unshed tears. Today should have been the happiest day for both Darien and Alora. Only it wasn’t turning out that way. While one was accepted by their mate, the other was rejected and then attacked for no good reason.

The big difference about this book, so far, is that things that happened later in Heartsong are happening at the beginning of this book.
