Chapter 29
Luna Ember’s POV
I had the camera recording Darien and Alora the moment they stood up from their seats. They made a
powerful view as they descended the stairs side by side. The wolves seated to either side of the stairs
moving into submissive poses. Some moving to poses of respect. But all felt their combined power as
they came down the stairs. Then they were up on the platform and striping to transform.
Darien’s half form was nine foot six to Alora’s nine foot four, both were matched power wise. They
came together rapidly after the signal went off, coming together in a boom of power that was audible.
Both my son’s have magic in their half forms. Damien’s is a volcanic fire, Darien’s is Electricity. Soon
they’re jumping back
from each other, then I see it. They light up Darien’s fur in silver sparks.
I look at Alora and see blue lightning dancing along her fur, and purple fire in her hands. She’s more
powerful than I imagined. I was glad I was getting this on camera. Darien had to be ecstatic. He had a
new opponent he could fight against using magic. They each had snarly smiles on their muzzles as
they looked at each other, then they clashed their lightning.
It skittered outward, panicking some of the wolves in the bottom of the bleachers. It had connected with
the walls, climbing almost to the first row of seats. The crack it let out was defining. They were
punching and kicking, their hands and feet coated in their magic. Darien’s the silver lightning, for Alora
it was purple fire with blue lightning inside the flames.
It looked like a beautiful dance of magic and limbs. Each move a flowing art work of movement and
power, and with each connecting blow their was a crack of sound. Then the shake of the bleachers as
all that dispersed power hit the walls surrounding the stadium pit that held the platform, on the arena’s
floor of our high school’s Coliseum.
Suddenly a burst of silver and blue lightning with a purple flame swirling around it shot up towards the
roof, then Darien was flung back from the platform, only stopping when he slammed in to the pits wall
and slid to the arena’s floor. He struggled to get up, he took three steps back to the platform then
staggered a bit, before collapsing again on the floor.
The roar of the crowd shook the building, the medics rushed over to check on Darien. I wait almost
frozen, then I let out a breath when I hear him say. “Can someone bring me my shorts?” “Oh thank
goodness he’s ok.” I say out loud. My mate chuckles. I look at him, my eyes narrowed slightly, he’s still
looking down at the floor. “I just think it’s funny Alora has kicked that boy’s ass three rounds in a row.” 2
I giggle for a moment agreeing with my mate. Alora has become very strong. And now Darien has
another sparing partner if the grins I could see coming from the now shifted Alora and Darien were
anything to go by. Once Darien shifted back, most of the damage had healed itself. He barely had a
limp, and that would go away over the next four hours if it was just bruising or muscle strain. Breaks
took six to eight hours to heal.
But seeing him walking I knew it was nothing serious, the two go back to
2:14 PM
their seats as the tournament officials announce final rankings of all the wolves. Alora keeping First
Rank of the Alpha Class, Darien Second Rank, and one of the boys my mate would be talking to
tomorrow, Jaxon was Third rank. Kian, Galen and Serenity held on to the top three ranks of the elite
class, Matt securing fourth rank.
The Senior’s were then released for the day, the next two days of tests required pen’s and pencils.
Alora only has two of those, both in the morning of the next two days. She wouldn’t have to attend the
last week and a half. That was usually the time students who missed the original exam date, could take
make up tests. My phone rings, it’s Darien.
“What is it son?” I ask him. “Hey Alora is going to the locker room to get changed back in the rest of her
clothes. Will you meet us there,
Serenity is going in with Alora, and me and the Twins will be standing outside the door.” he says in a
long stream of words. I laugh softly. “Ok sweetie, we’ll met you there, see you soon.” 3
I look up at my mate and tell him where we were meeting the kids. We look at Boris and Lissanna,
“We’ll see you two later at the meeting.” I say as my way of goodbye, they nod then leave in their own
direction. We get to the locker rooms that are underneath the bleachers, behind the arena’s pit walls.
Darien is already standing there fully dressed again.
I go up to him arms out and with a “Oh! look at my handsome boy!” I wrap him in a hug, all the while
knowing is face is beet red. But this is my boy, no matter how big he gets he will always be my pup.
Him and his brother both. My mate and I would
4 PM 0 have had more children. But every time I came into my heat something would happen that
would keep us from coming together. 2
By the time we had settled years worth of strife among several packs and a war with a faction of rogues
comprised of Vampires, Werewolves and Dark witches and wizards, I felt I was to old. We had two
pups and that would be enough. I would just hope for a lot of grandchildren. Speaking of, I let go of
Darien and look up at him with a bright smile. 2
He starts to look nervous. “Mom, why are you smiling like that?” he asks me, with no reason to hide it,
so I tell him. “Because Serenity comes from a home bursting with pups, that means I’ll get plenty of
grandchildren!” I finish in a tone that is practically a squeal in my excitement. Serenity’s Mom, who is
down here as well, had a smile lighting up her face.
“Oh they would make such beautiful pups.” She gushes. By this point Darien is pale and sweating “And
the females of our line are very fertile too!” She adds with glee, looking at my son then at me she
winks. With sons of her own I was sure she was an old hat at teasing one, and was happily helping me
tease mine. He’s in a full on panic mode now. 3
Grinning, I see Alora and Serenity peaking out of the locker room, they were watching Darien, both had
hands over their mouths trying to hold in laughter. I can’t help but drag it on a little bit longer. “Oh
wonderful! So I can expect pups immediately!” Darien’s mouth is opening, he’s gaping. Alora and
Serenity were now holding each other with one arm holding their mouths with another, obviously
struggling to keep their laughing quiet. 2)
Finally Darien manages to stutter
while both my mate and Serenity’s father have caught on and are looking away coughing, trying to
cover up the beginning of their laughter. “Mm...mom…we haven’t….haven’t even…I mean…a little
time?” at this point I can’t help it, and neither can anyone else. Every one bursts into loud laughter at
my son’s expense.
He looks around at us in a mixture of shock and confusion, then he stands up straight glaring at me.
Still laughing I hug my son saying “I’m sorry, I had to, and the look on your face, I love you son.”
growling he hugs me back. Whipping his head around he see’s Alora and Serenity holding each other
as they laugh. They meet his eyes and he growls, squealing and giggling they duck behind Kian and
Galen. 2
“Really Alora,” he snaps. “You just got done kicking my ass and now your
hiding?” his tone incredulous. “And I’m your mate Serenity, I would never hurt you.” Then in a complete
turn of events he turns around and adopts a feigned look of hurt. “Oh you wound me my love, how NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
could you hide from me, my angle of mercy?” he says all dramatically.
This made Alora snort, smirking she called him a charlatan. Serenity was giggling but she walked up to
him “Angel of Mercy is it?” she asks with a smile. He smiles back down at her. “Eh. I went for the most
dramatic thing I could think of at moment.” He tells her wrapping his arms around her. She giggles
again. “There’s never going to be a dull moment with you is there?” she asked him smiling. D
He looks at her with a soft smile and says “I should hope I’ll be able to keep you entertained till the
Goddess calls our souls home.” then he leans down and kisses her. I couldn’t help
keep you entertained till the Goddess calls our souls home.” then he leans down and kisses her. I
couldn’t help it, I just had to say it “Awwww.” I look up when it was echoed by Alora and Camille. We
lock eyes and laugh. Serenity and Darien break apart, both are blushing. It warms my heart to see him
and his mate so in love already.
