Chapter _16

I chuckled "No.. he didn't tell me that. He didn't even tell me you were his mate. Just that you resented him for going against the Goddess's edicts."

She grins "Yep! Sounds about right.. He likes to think he's a master at the art of deflection!"

I do want you to know how very sorry I am that you are going through this! The first couple months can be hell! So, if you ever need to just talk.. know that I will listen.. i have been there before, done that kinda way"

She apologized.. literally feels bad for me having to face rejection.

Definitely not a shallow person! I believe I will be able to see her every day and not be hurt by it!

I ask "What made you choose law?"

She sat up straighter and said

"That's easy.. With the integration into the human world, shifters are facing a million problems. Land encroachments.. false accusations.. insurance liabilities because of our strengths. I didn't.. I don't.. want to see our kind being taken advantage of. I know the ins and outs of shifter's laws.. but I also know the ins and outs of human laws. If I can help it, I will not allow our species to be taken advantage of! We have the right to govern ourselves.. without being on the outside of any laws!"

I smile at how passionate she is.. so I ask "Why didn't Amelia further her education?"

She laughed "Oh she did! At sixteen, she decided she was Luna..and only needed to smile and look pretty. That takes a lot of hard work!"

Adrian laughed again "Yeah.. I think she failed that Luna course."

Aurora rolled her eyes "Still wearing her slut costumes, then? She believes less is more..and all eyes should be on her. I never understood the concept, if I'm honest with myself."

I said "Let's get you inducted into the pack! Then Isla can run.. maybe Asmodeus can show you around?"

She smiles and said "Sounds good to me!"

She swore allegiance and I felt her bond snap into place.. I linked Can you hear me? She grinned and responded. Feels good to have a link again. It's only been Caleb and I for so long. Isla is practically purring! I laughed.. "The image of a wolf purring is funny!

I asked "Did you want to run a bit, tonight? It might do her some good to stretch it out!"

She nodded saying yes, please. We headed outside.. I had decided to take her towards the southern border.. the terrain was a little flatter and easier to maneuver in the dark.

She shifted into a large silver wolf. Nearly the size of a normal Alpha..

It's obvious she's an Alpha born Beta! And Isla is beautiful!

I called Asmodeus forward, and we took off running.

Isla was an adorable, playful wolf. Bouncing over Asmo's back.. and nipping his heels. She yipped and chased a snow rabbit down a hole.

We reached an overlook and stopped to rest a minute. Isla began singing.. a soulful sound that pulled at my soul.

Then, I realized.. she is a Heartsong.. and this is exactly how they got their name! She sang for about twenty minutes.. I heard others joining in.. A grateful, happy sound. Something new for us!
