In the Principal’s office of the high school, Luna Ember and Alpha Andrew’s phones dinged simultaneously with notifications. There was a snapshot and a message from their son Darien.
Darien had sent them a picture of Alora, behind her were two wolves that were undeniably twins, big ones that looked like Delta Class fighters. In front of her, wiping what looked like blood off Alora’s mouth, was a shorter female.
The female looked a lot like the two males behind Alora. Looking at the picture, they were able to see a deep red handprint on Alora’s face. This caused great concern in the Alpha and Luna. Alora was like the daughter they never had, they loved her dearly, seeing her hurt upset them.
There was an accompanying message from Darien with the picture.
“Found my mate, her name is Serenity. Isn’t she sweet and beautiful? If you are wondering about Alora. Well, I got some bad news, Alora found her mate too. It was Matt, after he rejected her and Alora rejected him back, Sarah attacked her.”
Ember gasped, her heart breaking, tears filling her eyes. Andrew, feeling his mate's emotions through their bond, wrapped an arm around her shoulders and hugged her close to his side. Luna Ember was only six foot eight to Alpha Andrew's seven foot ten.
Ember’s dual colored eyes were the most beautiful eyes in Andrew's opinion. The inner color a deep glimmering emerald, the outer ring of color was a glowing white gold. She had a slightly long heart shaped face, with delicate looking high cheekbones and a gently angled jaw.
A straight almost delicate looking lupine nose was above Ember’s full pouty lipped mouth. The color of her lips, a natural dark pink rose color. Ember had a lean tightly packed muscle tone. Her perky breasts are medium sized, balanced out with a tightly muscled, round bottom.
Her waist length hair was a deep auburn red, with sporadic strands of dark gold. Ember had it bound in a french twist, so every now and then the light would catch on the gold strands and make them shine.
Alpha Andrew was a large and intimidating wolf at seven foot ten. He was broad with a lot of thick tightly packed muscle, his skin a warm toast color. His eyes, like both his sons, were an inner ring of deep ocean blue and an outer ring of dark midnight blue.
Andrew’s black hair was so black it shined with blue highlights when under direct sunlight. He kept it longer than Darien, but shorter than Damien, the strands brushing his collarbones. He currently had his hair bound in a tie at the base of his neck.
Jonathan, the Principle realized something was wrong, when Luna Ember suddenly got so emotional. He looked curiously at the Alpha and was about to ask what happened. However, before he could, his door opened, and in walked this year’s trainer for the Senior Alpha Rank fight Class.
“Heads up, Alora was rejected by her mate, who happened to be that idiot nephew of mine Matthew, then Sarah hauled off and slapped her, accusing Alora of trying to steal her boyfriend.” Brock Stonemaker announced.
Brock Stonemaker was a large wolf at seven foot eight. He had a broad, thickly muscled body structure, not as thick as the Alpha’s, but close. Brock had short sandy blond hair sprinkled with red and white blond highlights. His dual colored eyes had an inner ring of blue gray, with an outer ring a dark steel color.
He had a broad face with a broad long lupine nose, high cheekbones, a wide jaw, and mouth with full lips. His skin complexion was currently the color of dark toast. Long hours of training in the sun had made his original golden skin tone this dark. Brock was an Alpha Class fighter.
Brock spotted Andrew and Ember in the Principal’s office with Jonathen. “Darien, tell you already?” He asked them, seeing that their expressions were already upset.
Ember, in answer, held up her phone and showed Brock the picture Darien had sent. “Ah, yes, Serenity Mountainmover and her brother’s Kain and Galen.” Brock said, “The blood on Alora’s face, that came from the slaps Sarah gave her after Alora rejected Matt back.”
The Principal, Jonathen Moonstar Shadowtail, was a lean seven foot seven. He had long waist length dark brown hair that was bound at the base of his neck in a tie. He had a tightly packed muscle structure, his skin complexion a warm copper color.
His eyes had an inner ring of dark amber and the outer ring an almost glowing golden amber. His face was long and a touch narrow, with high cheekbones and a long straight lupine nose. He had a medium sized mouth with full lips. Jonathan was a Beta Class Fighter.
Jonathan stood up abruptly upon hearing Alora’s name. Alora was one of his brightest students, a genius even among all the highly intelligent supernatural’s. Although most of his students used a shorter version of the word supernatural, preferring to use super for one and supers for many nowadays.
This happening to any of his students, let alone one of shining stars, angered and upset him. One of the reasons the Alpha and Luna were here to visit him was because of Alora. Today was the Senior fight training examination. A public event attended by the school teachers, the Parents of the Senior's and the rest of the students of the school.
The school had a large, covered stadium arena that resembled a coliseum inside. With its pillared areas, gradually rising stone seating and fighting pit. The twenty foot wall surrounding the fighting pit provided the base for the stone seating. Today’s big event was taking place there.
“Did you see everything that happened?” Jonathan asked Brock worry in his voice.
“I got here in time to see Darien and Serenity run into each other’s arms. Congratulations by the way, Serenity is a good female and a strong fighter. Stronger than both her brother’s, not that she’ll show it often.” Brock said in his deep gravelly sounding voice.
“You know the three in the picture with Alora too?” Luna asked Jonathan, showing him the picture.
Jonathan recognized them immediately. Their mother was a highly respected biochemistry Professor at the Pack University, MSTA. “Their mother is Professor Camille Mountainmover, originally from my own Clan Shadowtail. Her mate is Alfred Stone Mountainmover.”
“Alfred Mountainmover is one of the lead trainers for the Pack’s Delta Enforcers, he also teaches Environmental Geochemistry at MSTA part time.” Brock reminded Alpha Andrew,
Andrew nodded when he realized just who Brock and Jonathan were talking about. Ember was remembering how much Alora told her she loved her lesson with a Professor Mountainmover, and figured the one she was talking about had to be this Camille Mountainmover.
“Andrew, this must be the Professor Mountainmover Alora always talked about when we would ask her about her University classes.” Ember told Andrew.
“It must be, Camelle has told me Alora is one of her favorite students.” Jonathen said assuredly.
This made Ember and Andrew happier, their son had found a female from a strong and intelligent family. It made them worry less for their son’s future. They were still worried about their oldest, Damien still had no mate, and their darling Alora was just rejected by her mate.
Ember looked up at Andrew, and he looked down to meet her gaze. Andrew felt her worry through their bond and felt the same way she did. *“What are we going to tell Damien?”* Ember asked Andrew through their mind link.
Andrew’s brow furrowed, then he looked up at Brock. “Tell me every detail you witnessed.” Andrew demanded of his old friend.
Brock told them, from start to finish, Ember looked down at the photo again, then a detail she missed before startled her. Ember grabbed her mate's wrist, Andrew looked down in question. Ember showed him the picture again.
This time Ember pointed at Alora. “Look at what she’s wearing, my darling.” Ember’s voice held a tinge of excitement. ‘Could this mean Alora is done hiding?’ she wondered.
Andrew frowned, at first, he didn’t think anything of it. Alora was dressed in the same shorts and tank style most female shifter types wore. Then it dawned on him, Alora was wearing normal clothes, Alora never wore normal clothes.
“This means something.” Andrew said aloud, surprise in his tone.
“Do you think she’s done hiding?” Ember asked him.
Jonathan was looking back and forth between Alpha Andrew and Luna Ember. It wasn’t until he came around his desk and looked at the picture again that he realized what they were saying and asking.
“She must be.” It was Brock who answered the question, taking the words right out of Jonathan’s mouth.
Jonathan narrowed his eyes at Brock for a moment, then let it go with a roll of his eyes. He was a high school Principal, he had a dignified image to uphold after all.
“I believe concealing Alora’s new middle and surname would be pointless, now that it’s been revealed in such a public way.” Jonathan commented.
Ember and Andrew’s gazes met, they had originally come here to see about using Alora’s original name when she was announced for her battles. Now, like Jonathan had said, it was truly pointless.
