Werewolf’s Heartsong novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Principal Johnathan’s POV

Beta Boris, his mate Lissanna, Alpha Andrew, Luna Ember and I were all on the bottom seat of the bleachers next to the support beam we had all recently hid behind. The Luna had discretely recorded the hole interaction with Sarah’s three friends and Matthew. As we listened to the conversation between the four, we had all gradually started to drift out from behind the beam, and watched as Matthew burned the sachets. I was horrified that these poor girls had been under a spell for the past ten years. Half of their life span.

It made me sick to my stomach. And then that scream , that horrible agonized scream, the pain that she wolf was in could be felt by everyone who heard that scream. Then the way

 she collapsed in on herself, sobbing like her world had ended. We didn’t have to wait long for an explanation. And oh how I hated what that reason was, that Sarah was too cruel to be allowed to stay free.

“She made me reject my mate!” was her agonized keening cry. Sarah’s crimes now severe and accumulating. That’s two children she’s taken mates from now. My wolf Lucas was also in distress. The pups, their pain is all he whines out.

I suppress my own tears at the pain caused to these children. As the Principal of this school it is my job to protect my students. We didn‘t protect them, the pups are hurt Lucas says. “I have failed in my duty, Alpha.” I tell Andrew, my voice husky. “What do you mean Johnathan?” he asks, I look into his eyes, their just as sad. “I wasn’t able to protect my students,

none of this ever should have happened.” 4

He shakes his head. “No Johnathan, you didn’t fail in your duties, there is no way you could have know about any of this.” He looks at the children. “But what I can do is give justice to these children. I’ll mind link the parents now, and have them meet us at the pack house at seven tonight.” he says, then looking around at each of us states “I’ll need everyone here to be there as well.” I want justice for the pups stated Lucas We will help them get it I tell him.

As we watched, the girls parents arrived. Beatris’s father picks her up and cradles her to his chest. “She made me reject my mate.” she keens, this time in a low voice. This caused her father to hold her tighter, her mother has tears streaming down her cheeks, her hand over her mouth as

she hurries to keep up with her Mate. Lauren and Agatha are explaining to their parents as well, both girls crying.

Agatha’s grandmother grabs her into a hug, she sobs into her shoulder, her parents petting her back and hair. Laurens parents are now holding her as she cries. The Beta and his mate went to their son, his mother hugging him, his father had his hand on his shoulder, he was watching the girls, his face grief stricken. So much pain has been caused by such small innocuous looking sachet of herbs.

This is why Witches have forbidden the practice of spells like these, and they can get you banned from your Coven or Executed by the Magic Council, which oversees all Witches, Wizards, Wiccan’s and Warlocks. The Vampire’s Council oversaw the Vampires. Our territory was the seat

of power for all the Northern Continental Werewolves, our Alpha was the Alpha of all the other Alpha’s. He was also on the The Northern Continental Shifter Council. Werewolves are not the only breed of shifters out there.

The Alpha would remain on the Council till he either died, or passed it down to his son. For the mixed breed shifters, Goddess blessed mating’s between breeds becoming more common, they belonged to whichever group their parents chose to be apart of, we had several mixed breeds in our Pack. The bear-wolf mixes making the strongest of

Enforcers, a respected position.

For hybrids, which were also becoming increasingly common, because more and more Supernaturals were finding their fated mate in another species, it

depended on what your crime could be labeled as, once that was determined you were sentenced by that councils laws regarding your transgression.

Then there were the Dragon Masters. They were a rare sight. And the most powerful beings on this earth. There is little to no information about them, they were a mystery. It is said that when you meet one, you knew it. You knew not to disrespect or anger this being, your every instinct will scream at you in warning. If that was the case, I’d rather not meet one.

I was almost giddy with the feelings. But I tried to calm myself down. I didn’t want to get to happy, and then despair when it was gone. That was an awful feeling, I don’t want to

drown in my own despair like that anytime soon or ever again. I don‘t ever want to feel that way again either Xena commented.

My face scrunches in confusion. Xena is listening, also confused. Why is the Alpha mentioning Grandfather‘s will? asked Xena I don‘t know was my

“With this you are now officially a Noble of the Northern Continental Wolves, and our Pack. You are the Alpha Female of the Heartsong’s and now the Matriarch of your own line. Your parents can’t touch you anymore.” he tells me. Does this mean we‘re free? Xena asks, It does, we‘re free, we‘re finally free I tell her.
