Howling Hearts

- I sat in my room staring at the crib where Xander laid fast asleep. I kept listening to his soft breathing just to make sure he is ok.

I heard a sparkling sound and soon the moon goddess appeared next to his crib. Her face was filled with love and care.

She put her hand on his cheek and a smile spread across his face. I guess he was dreaming about milk or cuddles since he didn't know much else.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"This is the future rules of mount Olympus and I think that's you are the perfect mother to raise him. Cherish him. And love him." She said in a whisper. She then walked over to me and cupped my cheek.

"I am proud of you my child you have conquered what others would deem impossible. And you turned out to be a great and strong young Luna.

When you lay on your death bed of this life I will come fetch you and your mate to take up your place as the rulers of mount Olympus until Xander breathes his last breath.

Until then I will keep your seat nice and warm" She said in a caring tone before kissing my cheek which left a tingle before she once again disappeared.

My bedroom door swung open revealing Lucians parents.

Freya ran over to the crib and awed as she looked down at Xander. "He is smiling" she whispered and pouted. I nodded as I smiled at her. Lucians father patted Lucian on the back

"Who would've thought that someone as ugly as you could produce such an handsome son" Then he giggled at his own joke. "shhhh" Freya shushed him with her finger plastered on her lips and her eyes widened like a crazy woman. "Xander is sleeping take it outside boys" she said in a harsh whisper before she looked back at Xander with pride dancing across her face.

Soon I felt a tight hug from behind and turned my head to see who it is. It was my Father. "Hi Hun" he said in a caring tone." How are you feeling?"

He asked sincerely. "Like sh*t honestly" I said as I huffed at the thought.

"How about you take a nap ill watch Xander until you feel rested enough?" Lucian said in a caring tone.

I shook my head. I dint want to leave Xander alone with him or anyone else. I just felt like only I could look after him the right way, "

Thanks Lucian but I'm not tired" I lied to him and flashed him my million dollar smile. "ok" he said with a sigh.

I then smelt an all too familiar scent It was my mothers. I gulped fearing what might follow. I then saw her entering through the room door all tensed.

She walked up to Freya and stood next to her watching Xander every now and again she would give me a sad glance whilst I never took my eyes off her.

After a while she came and sat next to me on the bed. "im sorry" "for what?" "For blaming you" Silence lingered between us making me feel more distant from her than ever before.

"You protected your lovely pup" she said as she looked over at Xander. "And yourself. I don't blame you anymore.

I blame my parenting I failed both of you as a mother and I'm Sorry" She said as she whimpered trying not to cry.

I held onto her hand tightly. "I don't blame you mom and I forgive you none the less. I'm just happy to have you back in our lives" I said as I smiled at her.

She wrapped her arms around my back and pulled me into a tight hug. "What did I do to deserve you" she said in a loving tone. I closed my eyes and hugged her back tightly.

- Friday Night:

The moon was full and red just like they thought it would be. Everyone had already arrived at the year-end ball and everyone was dancing and just having fun with all the close allied packs.

A lot of she wolves were dressed to the nines hoping to meet their mates. Just then I felt a little tap on my shoulder and looked to see who it was.

An all too familiar face greeted me with a bright smile. "How's you Red?" he said making me cringe at the nickname.

"I'm great"

"I must say you sure do look great for a mom of a new pup" he said and I felt Lucians grip around my waist tighten followed by a growl. I smiled brightly at his action. Asher lifted his hands up in surrender. "Take it easy big Alpha" They both giggled

"so how are you Lucian "calmer now" he said as he laughed

""and you?"

"Great honestly. My father has changed his mind about me. So I will become the Alpha of Lunar pack next week.

"good for you man" Lucian said as he patted Asher on his shoulder.

"Yeah I umm..." Asher stopped talking and started sniffing the air.

"No way..." He said as he shook his head.

"What is it Asher?" I asked as worry dawned on his face.

"Mate" he said in a shocked tone. My eye grew wider as I thought it was impossible for him to find his mate after he had marked Saige.

"You healed him after Saige was dead dummy and in the process you removed the mark, for it would've killed him after Saige's death" My wolf said in an annoyed tone. ""catch up"

Soon I saw Riley approach us and she also sniffed the air. "Mate?" They both said in unison.

Me and Lucian looked at each other and nodded since we thought the same thing.

He took my hand and led me to the dance floor, leaving the two of them alone. "May I have this dance madam", Lucian said as he bowed and smirked.

"I was thinking you'd never ask" He wrapped his hands around my waist and twirled me around the dance floor. My life never felt so perfect.
