Werewolf’s Heartsong by Dizzy izzy

Chapter 182
Damien’s POV
I watched my mom check Alora, making sure she was completely clear medically. Mom did an ultrasound on her, and I got to see how much our pups have grown. Hearing their heart beats was an altogether different experience. It just hit me, like a punch to the gut, what I was hearing were two life forms growing inside my mate. Life forms I had a part in creating.
The smile Alora gave me was so filled with love it warmed me to my soul. She glowed, she was here, she was alive. Everything our separation had put me through was going to leave me with emotional and mental scars that’ll last for centuries. It was going to be hard to let her out of my sight for any length of time for a while. I was worried about the new nightmares this would cause her.
She seemed fine now, she’d been through too much in her life for this to not be just one more thing. But at the same time…she had never been through something quite like this, while being pregnant, and truly in danger of being violated. I’d do my best to be there for her during every single one.
“The pups are fine, your fluids and nutrition levels are stable again. Your recent blood work came back fine with everything within their respective levels. The ultrasound shows the pups are growing at a normal and healthy rate, despite your recent traumatic event.” My mother said, using her professional voice while reading off her diagnosis.
Then switching into mom mode, she hugged Alora. “I’m so glad your okay sweet girl. Andrew and I were so worried about you.” I heard tears in my mom’s voice.
It shocked me to hear them, but then 1 realized it shouldn’t. My mother and father both loved and adored Alora, always had. I felt Alora’s surprise through our bond, then I felt it touch her heart. She had a soft spot for my parents that made me smile.
“Okay mom, you’re monopolizing my mate, I want to take her home to our apartment, and keep her there for a few days.” I told her.
My mother turned quickly in my direction. “Oh no you don’t buster, you will share her with your family, her friends, her Clan and this Pack. Do you have any idea how many beings are waiting for the good news about her? Or how many people want to see her, just to confirm that their Alpha is back, safe and sound?” My mother fired off her questions while gesturing with her hands.
I knew better than to argue with my mother, I may be an Alpha, but not only was she my mother, she was my Luna. I knew when to back off, it was healthier, less pain if I just did what she said when she got like this. Dad always said to keep the peace, there were times you just shut up and did what they told you to do. Especially if you didn’t want to sleep on the couch.

As a Clan Alpha, Alora had many duties she would need to get back to, but as her mate I could help lessen the burden for a while, before she wouldn’t let me anymore. My mate was a strong intelligent woman, one who had survived in a horrible environment.
“Do you have something in mind?” I asked my mother, because she would most definitely have something in the works.
“We’re going to do a tournament day at the end of the week, you and Alora will attend. Alora will be visible for everyone to see. Her pregnancy is not yet to the point that I would recommend she not participate. However, I do recommend if Alora does, you two participate as a pair.” Mom advised us.

“Now that I’m awake, I should probably call my father and mother, to let them know I’m home, and awake.” Alora said, then she tried to pat non existent pockets, before she remembered she was in a hospital gown and didn’t have her phone. I had her phone, in our room on her night stand.
“Your father and mother both know you’ve been brought home, and they knew your condition was stable. Your phone is in our room, you can call them when we go up there.” I told her, and was rewarded with one of her bright smiles.
“They will be at the tournament in three days, I told them you would definitely be awake by then, and look, you’re awake so I was right.” My mother laughed.
Alora giggled at my mother’s antics, gaining another smile from my mother. “Okay mom, now are you done monopolizing my mate?” I asked her dryly.
“Enough with your sass.” Mom said in false irritation. “Alora here is a set of your clothes so you can change and get out of here, you have been officially discharged.” She said cheerfully.
With that Alora disappeared into the bathroom long enough to change. When she came back, she was in a tank, shorts, her braids were bound in a high tail and a pair of thin strappy sandals. She looked like nothing had even happened, you would never have guest that just a day ago, Alora was a prisoner of the Black Magic
Covent
Alora wore the necklace I gave her so many years ago, I looked at her ears and realized I haven’t bought anything for her ears yet. The only thing I bought was the ring symbolizing our bond to each other, that was on her finger. She would look beautiful in a wedding dress, standing under her willow tree in front of her koi

apartment, we go outside to your bench by the pond?” I asked her Her eyes sparkled and I felt the joy my suggestion had brought her. “I would love that. She said, smiling brightly, practically glowing from the inside out. 1 chuckled. “Tm glad.” I told her. Right now, having her back with me, I wanted nothing more than to cuddle up to her and hold her in our favorite spot in the whole world. That bench in the courtyard garden, under the

Holding Alora against my side, where she belonged, we made our way out of the Clinic and up to our apartment. When Alora opened the door and stood in our living room, the first thing she did was take a deep breath in
I felt what that did for her through our bond. She had such a sense of relief, of welcoming and belonging. As she let out that breath, it felt like those warm sensations and her happiness at being back where she belonged embedded themselves into her very bones.
As 1 felt it through her I basked in it. I felt like a faint click sounded within me. Like the pieces of me that had been ripped away from me when she was taken, had come back and snapped into place where they belonged.
A new feeling took root, an unbreakable determination that no one would ever be able to take our mate from our side ever again in this lifetime. Or in any of our future lifetimes. With that determination came a sense of calm I hadn’t felt since before our mate had been taken from us. I know Alora felt it when my emotions settled, because she turned and smiled at me.
followed Alora when she turned around and walked into our bedroom. She went straight for her phone, and I went to her jewelry chest. I grabbed out eight sets of hoops in four different sizes. She was holding her phone, going through the messages on it.
I brought her earrings to her and held them out in my hand. She stared at them a moment, then touched her free hand to one of her bare ears. She had a curious look on her face when she looked up at me.
“We took them off when we first brought you home, it’s part of the Clinic’s medical procedures.” I said, her other pieces had been spelled against removal.
Her expression became one of understanding. “That’s right.” She said, then she set her phone down to take her earrings from me and put them on. When she was done she looked up smiling brightly. “There, how do I look?” She asked.
“Like mine.” I told her before cupping her face in my hands and kissing her deeply, filling that kiss with all that I felt for her.
