Chapter 88
**Alora’s POV **
Hearing Master Brock’s growl behind us had created varying degrees of comical reactions of startled
surprise. I couldn’t help it, I giggled, getting another growl out of Master Brock. This only made my mate
chuckle. “Feeling a little sore are we?” my mate asked him teasingly. Why my mate had to poke the
already grumpy wolf I didn’t know.
But just as Master Brock was about to come and give him, what I would have assumed, would have
been a good thrashing. Master Brocks new mate, who was at his side, touched his arm, a smile on her
face as she looked up at him. He calmed down almost instantly. This caused a few chuckles from the
Males.2
I smile, because I was truly happy to see Master Brock get a second chance at happiness. The Luna
greeted Alpha Andrew as he had accompanied Master Brock and his mate Master Samantha. Or was it
Sam? “Samantha.” she looks at me “Would we call you Master Samantha or Master Sam?” I asked my
question.
She smiles and says “Master Sam is what I prefer, but I will also answer to Master Samantha.” her
husky voice kind.
“You’ve got some explaining to do girly.” Master Brock says to me and I smile at him, feeling a little
guilty. Almost like I was going to have to explain why I was out past curfew to my warden, guilty.
“And considering I got more than a few complaints of ‘You could have given us more warning’ from
several Pack members, I should definitely be informed of what the Hell just happened.” says Alpha
Andrew. Ok guilt had a whole knew level when faced with the Alpha of Alpha’s questioning fatherly
glare.
I peaked up at Damien, he was running a hand through his hair, looking for all the world like a guilty
pup, who got caught out joy riding in his daddy’s car. It made me want to laugh and giggle, but I
somehow didn’t think either he or Alpha Andrew would appreciate my humor at the moment. Damien
looks at me, reaches down for my hand, giving it a squeeze, then faces his father.
“Alora found out we are the reincarnations of Lucian and Luna, When we kissed, after coming to this
realization, our primal powers were unlocked by the Goddess. She wanted us to release and Awaken
the power in all of our Clan, Alora decided to awaken the power within all the rest of the Pack members
not connected to the Black Magic Coven.” He tells his father.
Everyone was staring at us, their faces shocked, except Kass and Bella, they looked horrified. “You
don’t mean….THE Black Magic Coven do you?” asked Kassandra, she sounded as horrified by the
prospect as she looked.
I nodded and said “We do.”
Kassandra is shaking her head, Bella is too “But…they were eradicated….a millennia ago.” Kass says
softy in horror and disbelief.
“I’m afraid nothing can truly eradicate something that evil completely.” said Master Brock, his tone sad,
we all look at him.
“There will always be dark where there is light, there will always be evil where there is good.” said
Alpha Andrew.
“So while Lucian and Luna, with the help of the other Supernaturals, put an end to their very long reign
over the world….they couldn’t end them completely.” said the Luna.

“Very few Black Magic Witches escaped from that war.” said Master Sam, “Without Lucian and Luna,
with their Primal Powers, we would have lost that war.” Master Sam said, her tone serious.
After a moments pause she continues grimly. “Our lives today would be very different, humans would
have been enslaved still, and those Witches would be using Werewolves and Vampires, especially
hybrids, as magical conduits.” The thought of that being our lives sent a shiver down my spine.
I would not allow that to happen, I now knew why the Goddess reopened our connection to the
elements that had originally birthed the Werewolves…and Vampires. I look at my little brothers, all of
them under the age of eighteen, all Vampire Hybrids. They would be powerless against the Black
Magic Coven at their current level.2
With that in mind I stand up and call forth Selena, I made visible the ties that bonded me as sister to my
brothers, and I strengthened them. Kass and Bella, now that I had claimed them as Clan, had
extremely strong bonds to me already, now for my brothers. “Brace yourselves my little brothers, I will
give you the means to protect yourself against the great evil that is coming for us.” We say in our
echoing mystical lyrical voice.
The Adults are all looking at me, they had paled at my words, it was a foretelling. “The Goddess
granted me this gift to protect our way of life, to survive the coming war. We must triumph over this
Coven once again, or the world will die at their hands, destruction and absolute power their only goals,
and they will stop at nothing.” I impart that prophetic knowledge, then I awaken all my brothers powers.
My brothers collapsed at the pain their awakening power caused them. After a moment, one that
almost felt like an eternity, their pain past and they sat there a moment groaning, rubbing various limbs
like they ached. “I will not allow the Black Magic Coven to have you.” Our tone, with the echo, was firm,
a vow. Done, I allowed Selena to fade back, then sat back down. (2
With all the power I had used, I was starving. The only problem was….all the stares, I look at everyone.
Some had looks of shock, some of amazement, and a few in worry. The worry came from the Alpha,
the Luna, Master Brock and Master Sam. I turn and look up at my mate, he looks worried too. Damien
puts an arm around my waist, drawing me tightly to his side, like he was expecting me to disappear at
any moment.
I look at him confused “What’s worrying you my darling?” I asked him softly, reaching a hand up to
stroke his cheek. He brought his hand up to hold mine to his cheek, nuzzling my hand with closed
eyes, as if he was savoring the feeling of my touch. I felt my face melt into a soft loving smile meant
only for him.
His gaze meets mine, his look intense “I can’t loose you my Starlight. Words have power, and so much
meaning can be packed into them, I’m worried something is coming to take you away from me.” he tells
me, his voice rough with his emotions. I felt how truly worried he was through our bond, his emotions
broadcasting loud and clear.
“If I’m ever taken, you’ll just have to come and get me, and I will never stop trying to get free to reach Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
you.” I tell him. He looks at me for a while, studying my face, then he nods. 2
“I would never stop looking for you Starlight, I would find you, and I would bring you back home with
me, where you belong.” he tells me, then he places a gentle kiss on my lips, raising back up, he meets
my gaze again “Eat mate, your starving and I’ll not have that.” ‘Goddess’ the things this male does to
me with his care and words. (5)
Everyone had quietly gone back to eating during our exchange. With a blush staining my cheeks, I dig
into the plate my mate had piled with food for me. The others started to converse, the boys asking
questions of the Adults and other wolves. Everyone was patiently answering their questions, even
laughing at some. It was a joy filled event, and I threw myself into enjoying it.
“Oh, I wanted you all to know that we are having dinner here in the formal dining room, tonight at seven
sharp. I want everyone there, there will be a few guests coming too.” says the Luna.
“Who’s coming.” Darien asked her.
“Serenity’s Parents, Xander’s, Beatrice’s Parents, Jaxon’s Parents and Victors as well.” said the Luna
“It’s going to be a meet and greet and a celebration at the same time.” she says sounding excited.
I smile wryly, well it had to happen eventually, guess tonight was the night for that. Tomorrow night we
had other obligations that would be in a far less relaxed atmosphere. I hoped my father arrived early. I
wanted to spend time with him before all the hop that comes with a visiting Dignitary. My thoughts were
broken by Kass’s gasp. I look at her and she’s sitting straight up looking at me with a shocked and
horrified look on her face. (3)
Confused I ask “What is it.”
“I almost forgot! Mom’s gift!” She starts digging in the cross body satchel I just noticed she was
wearing, looking for something. Then she pull’s out a rectangular blue velvet box with a look of triumph
on her face. Then she hands me the box “My mom wanted you to have this, my mom has a gift’ for
gifting people magical items they later need.” Kass tells us.
“So do you.” says Bella
“Not like mom.” she replies back.
“Remember the breathing stone you gave Nathen?” she asks her.
“Breathing stone?” I ask aloud.
“Yeah, she made Nathen a breathing stone one time. Then she gifted it to him on his fourteenth
birthday, saying it felt like it needed to belong to him.” Bella said.
“And it’s a good thing she did.” says Nathen “If not for that stone I would have drowned in a freak
accident caused by a landslide after weeks of rain.” he says “I got trapped in the water, and because I
had that stone pendent around my neck, all I had to do was put it in my mouth and it provided me with
fresh oxygen. It was the weirdest feeling, breathing without breathing. But I was able to get free and
make it back to the surface alive.”
Well now, that made me wonder what was in this box. If Kassandra gave such a life saving gift to her
brother, because the item had ‘felt’ like it needed to belong to him, what had Kass’s mother given me?
