Werewolf’s Heartsong

Chapter 139

Damien’s POV

Zane and Xena played around in the woods for a while, playing hide and seek with each other. Then

they would chase each other around and tackle each other, at one point they just laid down and

cuddled together, Zane wrapping his larger body around Xena’s. After a while of cuddling together, the

wolves heard a couple of others talking, and coming towards them through the woods.

“Who do you think it is?” Alora asked me through mind link.

“I believe it is some busy bodies trying to find out what we have gotten up to.” was my amused reply.

“Shall we play a prank?” she asked, a playful note now in her voice.

I was curious and intrigued at the same time “Alright, what do you want to do?” I asked her.

“Lets shift to our Lycan forms and then hide up in the trees, when their under us we’ll jump down on top

of them.” she said.

I could feel how excited she was so I could not deny her this bit of fun. “Okay my darling Starlight, lets

do that.” I tell her.

We shift, I felt Zane’s excitement at the prank our mate had thought of. He also felt any Werewolf that

fell pray to their prank, deserved it, for not being observant enough to look in the trees. We jump up

high and climb up into the large tree we had been curled up under.

Getting into secure spots we wait for the group to arrive. It was Xander and Beatrice with Darien and

Serenity, behind them came Kian with Kass and Bella with Galen. The guys were talking back and

fourth, looking around, but not up.

Surprisingly, it was the females of the group who looked up. I felt more than saw my mates movement,

using the barest of movement I glance at her, and she has one claw up to her muzzle in a shushing

gesture. I look back at the females of the group and they each wore an amused smile.

The females all started to fall back, till they were in their own group separate from the males. We chose

our targets, Alora would get Xander and Darien, I would get Kian and Galen. The guys didn’t seem to

notice that the females had drawn back and separated themselves from them, they were to busy

arguing over whether or not Alora and I had been there.

“I smell them, I know I smell them.” Darien is saying.

“Well they’re obviously not here as you can see.” Xander said.

“Their sent is strongest over by that tree.” Kian said. 2

“There’s a depression in the grass.” remarked Galen.

They walk under the tree and look at the spot Xena and Zane had been laying before we transformed

and jumped into the tree. Darien was sniffing, and he had and annoyed look on his face. O

“I swear I’m smelling them like they’re still here.” Darien says.

“They must have stayed here awhile, that’s why there scent is so strong.” Xander said.

Galen was kneeling on the ground, and he was touching the spot. “There is still heat here, they had to

have just been here,” he said. 2

“Then where are they, they couldn’t have just vanished into thin air.” Darien said annoyed.

“I have to agree with you there.” Xander said

“This reminds me of something.” Kian said

“Reminds you of what?” Darien asked.

“Remember that one time Serenity got mad at us and hid in the woods around our parents place?” Kian

asked Galen

“Yeah, why?” Galen asked him.

Kian never got the chance to answer that question, because at that moment my mate whisper shouted

through our mind link “Now!” And we jumped down on top of our targets.

Kian and Galen let out matching “omphs” as the air is knocked out of them when I land on them

slamming them into the ground. Darien and Xander had made their own “omphs” when Alora landed on

them. 2

Galen groans and says in a strained voice “Never mind…I know what you were getting at now.” then he

coughs and gets up to his hands and knees.

Kian also groaning is looking at the group of females off to the side giggling and laughing at the males

expense “Serenity did the same thing….only….this hurts worse.” he groans then coughs and manages

to get into a sitting position.

Galen shifting till he was also sitting said “It’s our own fault….should of known to check the trees.” 2

Transforming back I laugh at his words. “Has your sister played many such pranks on you two?” I ask

them, highly amused. O

They both look at me and answer in unison “Yes.”

The giggles and laughter to the side got worse at this response, earning glares from both males. I look

over at my brother and my Beta, they both look disgruntled at having been tackled to the ground by my

mate. Of course it didn’t help that a human Alora was rolling around on the ground and laughing at

them.

Darien picked up a pile of leaves and tossed them in Alora’s direction, the leaves fell to the ground

before reaching her “Oh shut up, you got me, hardy har har.” he said in a dry tone, a sulky look on his

face.

Xander looks up at me and he tries for a pitiful expression “My Alpha, as both your Beta, your best

friend with a mate of my own, I can understand the urge to indulge her every whim…..but do you have

to let your mate abuse me for her own amusement?” he asks the last with a whine in his voice.

His mate, Beatrice had come over while he had been talking, after he finished his question she

smacked him in the back of the head, getting an “Ow” out of him.

“Any wolf that unobservant deserves to be taken down a notch.” Beatrice told him in a no nonsense

tone.

“But mate…” he started, but she held up one finger, stopping him.

“But mate nothing, be more observant, I’m not burning you because you were careless.” she tells him,

her tone fierce.

Werewolves didn’t bury their dead, they burned them. This was to release their soul and spirit back into

the Moon Goddesses possession.

Xander pulls Beatrice down into his lap and gives her a kiss “I’m sorry mate, I promise to be more

observant in the future….forgive me?” he asked her.

Beatrice smiled at him “You’re forgiven.” she tells him, giving him a kiss.

I walk over to my own mate and offer her my hand, she’s smiling up a me, she was happy, and I loved

that look on her face. She takes my offered hand and I help her stand up, pulling her to my side,

holding her close. The other females had gone to their mates as well, I could see amusement on the

females faces, they had enjoyed our prank. 2

“How did you know they were in the tree?” Darien asked Serenity.

Serenity laughs “I was thinking about my own prank on my brother’s and just happened to look in the

tree.” she said.

“It was also really hard to miss Xena’s white fur.” Beatrice chimes in.

My mate laughed at her comment, my brother looked irritated with himself, I couldn’t help the laugh I let

out at his expression. Kian and Galen were groaning, lamenting having missed a literal beacon to

where we had been hiding. This made me laugh with my mate and the females.

“So mate, how many pranks of yours have you told my sister in law and best friend about?” Darien

asks Serenity.

Serenity blushed when we all look at her “Well I didn’t expect her to use them on you….well….maybe

not all of them.” she said.

He looks at her with surprise “You set me up!” he said loudly in a dramatic fashion.

His actions getting laughs and giggles from everyone. “I did not.” she denied, she paused a moment

then said quickly “Alora did.”

Alora is laughing so hard by this point tears were coming out of her eyes, she was holding on to me

while trying to gasp for breath in between laughing.

“Why are all of you out here anyway?” I asked them.

“Mom wanted to make sure you guys made it back to the Mansion in time for dinner, so she sent me

out to look for you two.” Darien said.

“I came because as your Beta I’m supposed to know where my Alpha is.” Xander said.

“We came because Beta Jaxon and Gamma Victor have been detained to help with prepping the

dinner.” said Kian. noveldrama

“Victor said that if neither he or Jaxon could look for our Alpha it was the responsibility of her Enforcers

to ensure her safety.” Galen added.

“Hay bro.” Darien said, I look at him. “I know your proud of your body and all, but why are you two still

naked?” he asked

Alora squeaked then transformed into her wolf Xena, and Serenity smacked Darien in the back of the

head, reprimanding him. I had completely forgotten that we had gone out in our wolf forms, we hadn’t

brought any clothes with us.

Now that I was attracting unwanted attention I called fourth Zane and transformed. My brother was now

laughing at our expense, until Xena tackled him to the ground and sat on his face. 10

She got up after a moment and managed to slap Darien in the face with her tail before walking over to

me, we nuzzled a moment. I looked at everyone and barked once, they all got the message, and we

started back to the Mansion.

Tomorrow we would begin our travel to the Bloodmoon Castle.3
