Chapter 87
**Damien's POV**
My mother's mind linked to me, asking what the hell had happened and probably wanting to know why they hurt so much, that was not exactly a fun moment.
"Damien what the HELL is going on!" Mom had yelled through the mind link.
My natural reaction had been to freeze up and feel guilty, like a naughty pup. I mean...I'm a grown wolf...and my mother still manages to reduce me to a ten-year-old pup. "Uh...." was all I could get out, not exactly sure how to explain everything. "So...you remember that Legend....the one about Lucian and Luna?" I had finally asked her.
"Yes, you would have us read the journal to you over and over again till you could read it yourself as a pup." she'd said in a reminiscent tone. "What does that have to do with anything?" she'd asked me.
"Mom, I believe I have found the reason for my fascination with that story," I told her.
"What do you mean Damien?" she'd asked me, her tone cautious.
So...I drop the bombshell "Alora and I are the reincarnations of Lucian and Luna." I said fast.
I felt my mom's shock. "We'll....we'll....we'll talk about this with your father...later...in the meantime, lunch is ready on the kitchen patio." she had said. My mother was nothing if not resilient, she would hold it together. It's not every day you learn your son and his mate are reincarnations of powerful beings who lived millennia ago.
"I'll let everyone know and get them over there...hey ma...?" I had asked tentatively.
"What is it sweetie?" she'd asked me in that soft motherly tone I'd heard all my life.
"Can you...uh...have dad...go check on Master Brock...he...uh...may have been...in the middle of....things....when Alora did her thing." I had been bright red, hoping my mother wouldn't ask me what I had meant by things.
Luckily she hadn't "I'll send him over now to check, you hurry up and get all those pups here for food, everyone is bound to be hungry." had been her response to my request. Thank the Goddess. Some things a male just did not want to discuss with his mother, and sex being a one.
The conversation was over, I looked at the group. They were all starting to shake off of most the effects of their awakened power. Looking at Alora's brothers who had been watching all this with varying expressions of worry, amusement, and fascination. "Are you boys hungry," I asked them, and they all looked at me excitedly.
"Food?" it was a chorus of voices asking that question.
All the other Werewolves, Kass, Bella, and my own mate perked up at this question. I chuckled "Yes, my mother has food set up on the kitchen patio."
It was Darien who started the run to the patio with a hollered "Last one there is a rotten egg!"
Alora shouted, "You're not twelve anymore!"
He turns around running backwards and yells the silliest thing back. "Oh yeah?...prove it!" then he turned around with a laugh, and kept jogging.
The others start to jog towards him, as does my mate. With a confused look on my face I grab her wrist as she starts to take off, when she looks back at me, she says "I don't want to be a rotten egg, besides....food." I let go of her wrist at her comment, not sure if I should laugh or not.
She takes off when I let her go calling back at me over her shoulder with a gleeful smile. "Last one there is a rotten egg." her giggles reaching me, music to my ears.
Zane growls at me "Go! Chase mate!"
I take off after her without further urging. I decided to trip Xander along the way, didn't want to be the last one there after all, and it made Beatrice giggle at his expense.
I caught up to my mate, wrapping her up in my arms I spun her around, getting a giggling squeal out of her. I put her down and she's still giggling, it takes her a moment to catch her breath and stop giggling, and she looks up at me with a beautiful smile on her face.
I pull her to me, with a hand on her face, her arms around my deck, and my other arm around her waist, and I kiss her. Letting myself sink into it a moment before pulling away when I heard the comment "Mom and Dad do that all the time, they’ll be looking at each other and mom will smile, then they kiss." the youngest boy informed everyone, getting them all to laugh.
"That's what happens when a wolf really loves their mate." says the Luna.
My mate blushes and smiles as she looks at everyone sitting there, staring at us. I can't help but smile too...I did love my mate, and I always would love my mate, for all eternity. It felt good to be secure in that knowledge. I sit my mate down next to me, at one of several round tables set up on the kitchen patio. Her brothers, her sister, Bell, and their new mates, Alora's Enforcers, sat at the table with us.
"So what did you study in school?" Kass asks Alora. Kian is eating and staring at Kass with rapt attention. I knew she felt his stare because she kept darting quick glances at him and blushing. She was also smiling at the attention he was paying her.
"I studied a lot in school, but I got my doctorates in Biochemistry as well as Microbiology and Hematology from the Pack University. But I was in AP English, AP History, and Fight Training in the High School." she tells her sister.
Her sister and brothers were looking at her in astonished amazement, at what this she wolf had accomplished. I was very proud of her, she had always been so intelligent. I lean over and kiss her temple, she turns to me with a soft loving smile, a smile I return with one of my own.
"When are you moving into the Heartsong Mansion now that Damien’s here?" Darien asked Alora.
"I think we'll need to after my father visits," she says, it shouldn't surprise me she would be thinking along the same lines as me. "Don't worry, I'll make sure to have some rooms there set aside for you and Serenity," she says.
"Good, I plan for us to visit," Darien says to my mate.
"I expect you to visit and bring any pups you two have along. Serenity is my new friend, sister to my Enforcers, and cousin to my Beta. Her presence is definitely going to be demanded there often." Alora tells him, she has a teasing tone in her voice. I didn't need our bond to tell me she was up to something, and my brother walked right into it.
"What about my presence?" he asks her, placing his hands on his chest in a dramatic fashion.
"What about your presence?" she asks her tone rife with amusement.
"Ah! Oh how you wound me, my lady, oh it hurts." he says dramatically making all the girls giggle and the boys laugh at him. The other males had different looks of incredulity while looking at him. As if they couldn't believe he was acting this way.
Hearing my mate laugh however, and his, I'm sure he thought it was worth it. For the music, that was my mate's laughter, I’m sure I would act a fool too, just to hear that sound again and again.
"What are you going to do with your degrees?" Bella asked Alora, Galen was eating with one hand and stroking her hair with the other hand. Bell didn't seem to mind and had a slight blush on her cheeks.
"I've been given a position as third leading Research Doctor at the Packs labs and I’m being given my own team of researchers." a very impressive position to be awarded directly after getting her degrees.
"Oh wow, that is so amazing." says Kass
"So what kind of school have you and Bella gone to, and what did you two study?" Alora asked Kass and Bella.
"We went to the Northern Continental Academy of Magic, it hosts every Supernatural that can use Magic to any degree," Kass tells us. "I got my Master's in Supernatural History, Magic Items crafting, Witch Council Politics, Vampire Council Politics and History, Supernatural Council Politics, and in Business with a focus on Finance and Investments." well now…that was also impressive, but then the girl did tell Sarah she was a future Council Witch.
Alora proving great minds think alike said "Well you did say you were a future council Witch." her tone amused. "What about you Bella?" she asks.
"Like Kassandra, I have Majors in Supernatural History, Witch Council Politics, Supernatural Council Politics, and in Business with a focus on Finance and Investments. I have majors in Potion Crafting, and because they have always fascinated me," her cheeks are a deep red now. "Werewolf Council Politics and History." she peaks a look up at Galen who's beaming down at her, his eyes worshiping her.
"I believe you two will make great Council Witches." Alora tells them, and she isn't just giving them a compliment. Alora's belief in this was very strong through the bond as if she knew something, or maybe she had decided she would make it so. I also didn't doubt she could.
"I got a question for Damien," says Darien, we all look at him "Why did you need to have Mom send Dad to check on Master Brock?"
I smiled and chuckled at his question, at least until he growled "Yeah, why would you need to have your Dad check on me." The growling voice is so suddenly there, that everyone jumps startled, and lets out a noise or scream of surprise at Master Brocks's sudden appearance. He certainly had a grumpy face for a wolf who just got claimed.
But then....their big finish was kind of ruined with the remaking of his Clan bonds, the making of a Clan bond to his mate, and the awakening of their powers...right as it was happening.
