Chapter 25
Jaxon’s POV
She was magnificent. She was a Lunar Princess. To become her Beta would be the greatest honor I
could achieve for my family. My cousins were her friends, I hoped to become one as well, and put in my
bid for Beta. Now I’m sure I’m not worthy of the position. But I would still ask, maybe I’ll be lucky
enough she will allow me to serve by her side.
I’m glad I get to watch her fight two others, it will give me more time to admire her power. I’ll be lucky if
our fight can last for any length of time, I want to prove myself worthy of consideration to be her Beta. I
wanted to prove I had what it took to stand by at her side. The power this she-wolf radiated was
amazing, and I would only see more of it by being
where she was.
Darien’s POV
I was in complete awe when I witnessed her transformation. She was an incredibly gorgeous wolf,
otherworldly. I felt a little guilty thinking that with my mate not that far from me, but damn, Alora was a
Lunar princess. She had Goddess like beauty now. Or maybe she always has but being covered up all
the time it was missed.
When had those markings appeared on her? They had intricate knots all over the wide bands on her
ankle and wrist. The designs of the necklace and crown delicate looking. They looked like silver jewelry
laid over her fur, and all they did was add to the otherworldliness of her new look. That and the stars
that had winked in and out of her ‘hair’.
Her fight was over in seconds, and when it was over, the crown and stars were gone. But the braces
around her wrists and ankles settled on her skin like silver, intricate, tattoos. When she sat down next
to me after her fight I couldn’t talk, I could only
stare.
Finally she says. “Cat go your tongue.” In a long drawn out drawl, smirking at me as she did so. A
million questions start to form, finally I settled on the first one I think will give me most of my answers.
“What the fuck happened while you were passed out?!” In a whispered yell. I’m absolutely amazed as
she explains it to me.
Then I get stuck thinking about part of the explanation that doesn’t sit right with me. The one that has
suddenly got me worried for my best friend and thinking again at what her family has done to her, so I

I ask “Where did the chains come from?” her answer didn’t make me feel any better. “I don’t know, I
didn’t even know they were there.”
Dread fills me with this answer, and I start to think about the Training she’s been doing with Master
Brock these last four years. He must have known something was holding her back, and yet even held
back by metaphysical chains, she was able to be First Rank of the Alpha Class.
I now have a new found respect for my friend, and the power she holds. I think of my brother, he’s
going to flip when he see’s her transformation, and I want to be there to watch it happen, It’s going to
be epic. ‘Shit’, I should have gotten a picture. But I’d been so caught up in the sight of her
transformation I forgot. Oh well, maybe next time. 2
Luna Ember’s POV
I’m glad I had started filming the match from the moment she walked onto the arena floor before
stepping onto the platform. I was still amazed at what I had seen. She has been so beautiful, I couldn’t
help but smile. My heart warmed at her transformation. She had told us Xena, her wolf, had pulled her
into her ‘space’, so she could process her freedom and accept her destiny and responsibility as an
Alpha she wolf of the Heartsong’s.
Looking at her transformation, and seeing the marking announcing her as a Lunar Princess, brought a
whole new understanding to the words she had said. She had accepted her blessing from the Moon
Goddess and was now an acknowledged Daughter of the Goddess. Her power and status now visible.
Seeing this, it was only now that I realized the marks had appeared on NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
her skin in the restaurant, but I had been so worried about her at the time I hadn’t noticed till now. The
crown and stars that are visible now wouldn’t be visible on her human form until nightfall. ‘Well, she’ll
always be able to tell when it’s nighttime’ I think amusedly after a moment.
“You got all that on video right dear.” asks my mate. “Of course I did my dear.” I tell him. “Good. You
should send that to Damien.” he tells me. “Damien? Why?” I ask him, although I suspect I know why.
“Because I don’t want to hear him whine, when he finds out from someone else about Alora’s newest
transformation.”
‘Yup, I knew it’. “Alright I’ll send it now, and I’ll send him her other fights as well, because we both know
he’ll want those too.” I tell my mate. My oldest probably thinks we are oblivious about his obsession for

Alora. I am his mother, like I wouldn’t be able to tell that he’s been attracted to Alora for years now.
It’s why I had always and still do hope that she’s his mate. It would explain why, at 23, he is still
unmated. I knew why Xander, his Beta was not mated as well. It was because Beatrice had rejected
him. I don’t think he knows I know about it. But I had been walking back late, from the Pack Clinic,
when I witnessed it.
Her reasons had not made sense to me, or to him either, because he refused her rejection. We now
knew, that it was because Beatrice had been under a spell that had allowed Sarah to control her, and
she had made her reject her mate. It was so cruel. That horrible she wolf had destroyed the lives of two
others and has caused unimaginable pain to many now.
I decide to text Damien now. He
should know to be there for his Beta, Xander was going to need his best friend to help him keep control
when he gets this information, as I’m about to hit send, I stop, now is not a good time for Xander to find
out about this. They have their finals in two weeks.
That’ll be soon enough unless they ask for information before then, one thing I’ve never done is lie to
my son, and I wouldn’t start now. I’ll let him decide when it is the right time to tell his Beta. I delete what
I’ve typed, then I send the video of Alora, telling him she had a rough afternoon but was now obviously
doing better.
I figure that will pacify him for a little while, at least till I got his message back. “Mom what the heck
happened this morning? Xander was doubled over in pain, we know something happened to his mate,
and he needs to know what. And what do you mean
by rough afternoon? What else has happened to Alora today besides her being rejected?”
“Oh boy” I say out loud. “What is it love.” Andrew asks. I show him the text from Damien. “Oh boy” he
copies. He thinks for a few moments, then finally says. “Might as well tell him everything. He’s only
going to keep pushing till we tell him. Also Xander does need to know about Beatrice.” He finishes with
a sigh.
It took several moments to type up the text, it was long, a lot has happened today. By the time I got
done sending the message, Darien had reached the Arena floor, I raised my camera in time to record
him stepping onto the platform. ‘Oh my handsome boy has grown into a hansom Alpha’ I can’t help but
think.
My son’s half form is broad and lean
at the same time, he grew to be nine feet and six inches. His ‘hair’ was black and about nine inches
long, his body fur was a bright almost white silver, his eyes are a neon blue rimed in silver. Like most
Alpha wolves his muscles were large and well defined, but without being overly large. 2
To this day, do to the necessity of continued training, my mate has retained his physique. His body has
filled in and broadened over the years, but he’s still the sexiest wolf alive to me. His son’s take after
him, hansom devils making girls swoon and she wolves pant after them. But they both knew they had
mates. So they both left the she-wolves alone.
But I know both of them had taken a tumble or two with human females. I’ve never seen them, both of
my boys discreet enough to have gone a few towns over for their dalliances.
Knowing their mates could be apart of this Pack, and not wanting any strife to come about because
they were burning off hormones. D
I was proud my boys had both been that considerate. Hormones in teenage wolves were difficult to
manage. That’s why mates hardly went to each other virgins, most keeping it to one nights stand out of
respect for their future mate. Some didn’t and it’s come back to bite them. My son’s had seen one such
scene when they were young, and it obviously had stuck with them.
