Werewolf’s Heartsong by Dizzy izzy

Chapter 82: *“What did you do?“*

Both of Alora’s brows were raised now, and a dangerous glint entered her gaze. Then she repeated what Darien had just said, but she did it slowly. “Oops…?” Drawing out the word in a controlled voice that had Darien sweating.

Serenity looked back and forth from Alora to Darien. Serenity had a lot of older siblings, and the warning signs were glaringly obvious to her. They were practically flashing at her like giant neon signs. Acting on instinct alone, Serenity jumped in front of Darien with her arms out, shaking her hands. Alora’s sharp penetrating gaze was immediately drawn to her. Panicked, Serenity started waving her hands around faster as she spoke out in defense of Darien.

“It’s not his fault! It’s not his fault I swear!” Serenity’s panicked actions looked cute and amusing, to Alora. “The females of my Clan are incredibly fertile and usually fall pregnant within the first three days of meeting their fated mate!”

Serenity’s explanation was said in such a rush it took Alora a second to comprehend what she was just told. “You have to be pulling my tail!”

Serenity’s cheeks were bright red as she shook her head. “I’m not. Truly I’m not. There is a fable about it in my Clan and everything.” Serenity explained earnestly.

“A fable? Seriously?” Alora asked, astonished.

“Yes. I was just telling Darien about it, and a story about a cousin of mine, before his alarm for dinner went off.” Serenity told her.

Serenity’s explanation made Alora curious. She was half wolf after all and naturally nosey. It didn’t help that her vampire half seemed extremely curious as well. ‘It’s a good thing we’re not a cat. Or we would be dead by now.‘ Alora thought.

“A story about a cousin of yours?” Alora asked, unable to resist the temptation to know

more.

“We need to get down to dinner.” Darien reminded them both before Serenity could start telling the story to Alora.

Alora was just a tad bit irritated Darien had interrupted. So, she kicked him in the shin. He howled out in pain and started to hop up and down while holding his shin. “Ow! Ow! Ow! You vicious female! What was that for!” Darien growled.

“Because I felt you deserved it.” Alora responded, her expression and tone deadpan.

Serenity broke out in a fit of giggles she was trying to suppress behind both of her hands. Darien’s head snapped in Serenity’s direction. He looked at her with his mouth and eyes open wide in shock, still hopping up and down on one foot. This had the unfortunate effect of breaking the last thread of Serenity’s control of herself. She was now bent over double laughing. Serenity was laughing so hard tears were streaming down her cheeks.

Alora was highly amused at this sight and started to laugh as well. Darien managed to stop hopping around and was now glaring at both of them with a look of indignation on his face. “Evil females!” He growled out. “The both of you are evil!”

His words didn’t help Alora or Serenity calm down. Serenity, who had just managed to stop laughing for two seconds, was right back to laughing. Alora was now laughing as hard as Serenity was.
