Celine's POV:
I glanced behind one last time to keep the memories with me in my heart. I barely had any good ones but my friend Layla, was one of the very few good things I would cherish forever.Alpha Tyrion had walked ahead of me and I had to run behind to chase him. It was embarrassing enough because the pack females were making fun of me. Others were jealous too and claimed to be dumb because they should have done that.I, the ugly duckling, got the most handsome man to ever exist.As he was talking to Alpha Kai, I finally noticed his features. He was a lot taller than everyone around him, golden brown streaks of hair highlighted his head, his light piercing blue orbs casted a spell on everyone whenever he made eye contact. And that small dimple on his left cheek whenever he was smiling or in a deep thought added to his handsomeness.Meanwhile, I was nothing a normal 18 year would look like. A set of green dull orbs. Brown hair. Average height, smaller than others. Even my wolf was small."Celine, listen to me. " It was my father, " I want you to make a place in the palace. Get the information of the treasure. And steal those expensive jewels. "I bit my lip nervously, " But sir… I can't do that. ""Do you even know you have already ruined such a good plan?! Now, we have less time. Don't get pregnant easily. Or if you do, just kill it. "Nothing made sense to me. Was this his plan all along?"How could you? " I cried."Keep your mouth closed. If you try to tell anyone about it, I will kill your friend. You have been nothing but a burden. " He said."Don't you dare hurt her… ""If you get me the treasure's location, I will tell you about your real parents. How I stole you from them! "He stole me… Oh, that wasn't surprising. Alpha Tyrion was watching us with lots of curiosity and I didn't want him to raise doubts against me."Okay." I whispered.I saw Alpha Tyrion approaching us and my father hugged me, pretending to cry upon my leave."I will come to meet you next month. " He said.Alpha Tyrion gave a disgusted sigh and I saw him getting back in the car. Other Alphas surrounded him as he was about to sit."How can you leave your beautiful Luna behind? "Oh, dang. They were teasing him. I wasn't beautiful. Neither did he want me.He ignored them and I hurriedly settled in the car. The driver ignited the engine and the car raced out of the pack borders within a few minutes. My heart went to do the anxious dance again.'Baby, I am waiting for you… I haven't been able to get any sleep in your absence. I also got my hair done like you love them. They're brown now. Your cute brunette… I can't wait to be your Luna. Come back because I have big news. Love you, Ty. 'I heard the voice of a sweet female as he played the voice note on his phone. That must be his lover. The chosen mate. Because I was his fated mate…"Fuck! " He muttered."Sorry… "He choked my throat and my head slammed against the glass of the window."You must be enjoying my misery. Finally, you ruined my life and got a little luxury. Do you even know what love is? You greedy gold digger. "He finally let go of my neck and I panted for more air. I controlled the tears but they didn't stop from falling on my hand."Cry! Howl! I don't care. "The whole car ride passed with me sobbing and trying to not make any noise. He didn't give me any attention. He was busy thinking about his lover and how he was going to tell her which I understood.My father was so mean and cruel."Stop the car. " He asked his driver.We were in the middle of the city market and I didn't find any other person who could be waiting for us here."Step out and buy something for you. "I blinked at him, confused by his words."I don't need anything… "He scoffed, " I am not gifting you. You look homeless in this gown. Buy something decent and get dressed in the changing room. "He threw a card at me and I gripped it between my fingers.How could I tell him that I had never bought anything? That I had never been to such a luxurious place before.But I got out of the car when he glared at me for the last time.I made my way to the shop and peeked inside from the window. It was so expensive and rich Lunas or royal females were doing their shopping."Where are you going? " The guard stopped me.I smiled at him, " To buy a dress. "I showed him the card but he laughed at me."Did you steal it? Get out of here! " He screamed.I gulped down the saliva forming in my throat, " No, I didn't steal it. Alpha Tyrion gave me the card. "Suddenly, his laugh vanished and he gave me a hard look from head to toes."Do you even know who he is?! Get out. " He pushed me and I was about to fall when someone grabbed me.Alpha Tyrion helped me to stand and I gripped his arm tightly."You are fired. " He said to the guard who immediately regretted pushing me away."Alpha… I… "Alpha Tyrion took my hand and walked me in the shop. The females stopped to look at him and their demeanor changed."Show her a good gown. " He told the assistant.She asked me to follow her and I looked at the beautiful, expensive gowns. Everything looked beautiful to me. I touched them to make myself believe that they were real."What would you like? " She asked."Anything… "She stared at me too but chose a red gown which was so beautiful and elegant. I knew we didn't have any extra time to waste so hurriedly got in the changing room.I caught my reflection in the mirror while coming out of the room. I looked better than before. Even if my face and hair were the same. Ugly.Alpha Tyrion had gone back to the car and I sat beside him too."You won't talk to anyone without permission. Always stay in a respected state of mind. " He turned to me, " And don't wh**e around… "I nodded because if I had opened my mouth then I would have surely cried.Finally, we reached the packhouse and I felt like throwing up at the sight of the guards and those high walls.Would they kill me?What if his lover attacks me?!"Alpha, will you protect me as your mate? "My question caught him by surprise and he waited for me to explain myself."Please don't let anyone hurt me. I promise I will listen to whatever you say. "Something shifted in his eyes, " If you think Ava will hurt you then you are wrong. She's a very sweet and gentle lady. But I can assure you that nobody abuses anyone in my pack. "That was enough for me to feel better because I was tired after getting beaten up each and every day by my father."Thank you. How old are you, Alpha? ""Why do you want to know? Do you need to know if I am getting old soon? " He snarled.I shook my head, " No.. That's not what I meant. "The car stopped in front of the palace. The driver got out and opened the door for him."27… ""Tyrion!! " I heard a girl screaming at the top of her lungs and she came running to get closer to the car. As I stepped out, her smiled vanished and she looked at me and Alpha Tyrion.I decided to move away to give them privacy but Alpha Tyrion put his arm around my waist as more people started flowing in to see him."Who's she, Ty? " The beautiful girl asked."My mate. "And she snapped. Without giving me a second, I felt a sharp pain across my cheek and she gripped my hair, making me fall down on the floor and kicked me in the guts."I am your mate. You can't prank me like that! " She screamed, raging like a bull."Ava, don't hurt her. It's not a joke. "He helped me to get up and I hid behind him to protect myself from the mean girl."I am calling Father. She is going to die, Ty. I swear… "Celine's POV:I felt as if the ground was slipping away from my feet. There was so much chaos in the pack and almost everyone had come out of their houses to see me like a circus clown. 'She hurt us! This woman is vile, Celine. 'Belinay roared angrily. My body was trembling and a cold shiver ran down my spine when a woman in her mid fifties gave me a hard look. It was as if she was judging me and then comparing me with her son. "Why did you choose a maid? " She scoffed. Alpha Tyrion took a sharp breath and touched her shoulder, " They made me do it. I didn't have any other way out of it, mom"It was the old Luna and his mother. I quickly bowed my head at her. She rolled her eyes and ignored me like a flu. "We should talk about it. I know there has to be a way out of it. " The pack members growled and someone threw a stone at me. It hit me right on my forehead and blood seeped out of the wound. I closed my eyes and rubbed the ruptured skin to soothe the pain. "How dare you trap
'When you don't know what love feels like, you accept whatever is thrown at you. ' ~Celine's POV:Alpha Tyrion had been ignoring me like a flu and his mom wanted to do nothing with me at all. I was sent back to another chamber, this time thankfully not the maids' rooms. The chamber was huge, royal and gave me a little comfort which I had been lacking in my life. I never had a private room to myself but as I lied down on the bed, I realized I had no one here who would even want to talk with me. 'See, the problem is Alpha Tyrion isn't accepting us as his mate. I really don't understand how his wolf can ignore us like that. As if we mean nothing to him. 'Belinay snorted angrily. I rubbed my forehead and closed my eyes. Everything was wrong about our mate bond. He shouldn't be forced to accept me. That was not his fault at all. And his girlfriend was pregnant! How was I supposed to live with that? I didn't want to be so selfish to ruin another woman's life and let a child suffer the
Celine's POV :'I don't want to see his angry face again. It hurts me every time whenever he calls me names. ' I complained to Belinay who had been jumping with anger in my head.'We should just run away from this pack.'She was so straightforward and blunt with her response that I found myself waiting for her to finish her sentence with a 'Just kidding' note. But after a few minutes I realized she was serious about it. 'That's impossible. ' I blurted. 'Then there is just last option. It's either you leave this pack or try to make a place in the pack. ' She answered. 'I never wanted a royal title. I am not going to fight for the Luna position. ' I heard her making snarling voices in my head and her attitude got on my nerves. 'I am talking about making a place in Alpha Tyrion's heart. 'I instantly lost the connection with her and knew that she was screaming in my head to talk to me. But with all my might, I blocked her voices. She was dreaming too much. She didn't understand what
I am not angry just disappointed.... Alpha Tyrion's POV :"She must be sent outside the pack borders. " Beta Rufus said, entering the chamber. I looked up at him. He was looking a little tired and frustrated. His cheeks were flushed from anger. "What happened? " I asked. "The pack is protesting against her and they don't want her to live in the reputed Luna chambers. " He answered. I rubbed my forehead, tensed and worried after the series of unfortunate events happening since a few days. Ava was going to get marked by another man and my child... They would take my child or worse kill it. "Are you even listening to me? " Beta Rufus asked again. I blinked in confusion, trying to understand what he meant. My head was all over the possibility of never seeing my child again. I couldn't do it. Even though I felt no connection to it, at all. I needed to ask Ava when she conceived it. Because the last time she came to me and requested to have sex was three months ago. I had to leave
Loving him is a sin; of that I am fully aware~ Celine's POV :3 AM... The clock struck again and I pushed the floor with my hands to help me get up. My back ached so badly and I winced when the swelling on my knee due to cold hurt me again. But all in well, I was done with the cleaning and if Luna Lorraine would try to find a particle of dust with a huge magnifying glass then she would certainly not find anything. The dining table was set, curtains cleaned and dried up, the floor shining, the cabinets rearranged and the sheets changed in the rooms. I was exhausted and it wasn't because I had been cleaning and scrubbing the tiles but due to the fact that I had travelled miles away from my pack and hadn't gotten to sleep even for a minute. It was definitely weird but I did the more work than this in my pack daily without a rest for a single day. And the dreadful thought of doing everything all over again the next day like a job. My stomach growled from hunger but I didn't have any
“I wish I could go back to the day I met you and just walk away.” - Celine's POV: Kitten was back and snuggling on my lap when I saw Alpha Tyrion approaching me. He had barely slept for two hours but looked much better. The redness was gone from his eyes and he looked handsome. I bit my inner cheek to stop myself from glaring at him like that. "How are you feeling now? " I asked, hoping that he heard me when I had told him everything. "There's no hot water supply here. Did you take a cold shower? " He asked, checking the pipes. My cheeks burnt from embarrassment, " It's not a problem, Alpha. " He finally lifted his head to watch me properly. It was as if he was reading my face. "Why are you pretending to be so nice? " He asked. " I am not pretending. I just want to tell you that whatever happened I... " "Sshhh." The silence felt so prolonged at the moment when he began walking towards me. He lifted my face by holding my chin. "Don't talk about the past. I hate it when you
' I love dreaming because in dreams you're actually mine. ' ~ Celine's POV :I felt shivers running down my spine when his cold hands touched my thighs. He had to finally give in the disgust and let our skins match. I felt his tip touching my opening and held the breath in my throat. With one swift motion, he entered me and I flinched with pain. I wasn't wet because of the mess which we had to clear before starting it out. He waited for me to get ready for him and let me adjust myself according to his girth. I could feel the change in his breathing too. But he was controlling the emotions to not take hold of him anyhow. It might be dark and we had lining of clothings between us, yet I could feel the arousal of my pu**y. I arched my back when I was ready for more. He thankfully understood by my motions and gripped the headboard first. The slow penetration and the immense care he was showing me, brought out a moan from my lips. His co**k twitched inside me at my reaction and I want
Alpha Tyrion's POV: Her moans, her soft curves and the pleasure... Why couldn't I keep my mind off her? I slammed the file shut which included the names of rogues joining the pack. I couldn't concentrate on anything. Whenever I tried to put my focus on work, her soft features flashed across my eyes. What was wrong with me? Was my love to Ava so weak that another cunning lady took my focus? There was something in the way she behaved around me and her voice which seemed to sound so sweet that it made me feel like I was listening to a melody. 'It's okay if you like her. Remember, we have never been intimate with anyone else other Ava but that was your first time and you messed it. ' Sabre jumped in my mind with his more theories. 'I don't like her, Sab. ' I muttered angrily. The maid entered my office chamber with an invitation letter in her hands. I had a slight idea as to what it was. But i genuinely didn't want to attend it. First of all, I wasn't in good terms with the pack, an
Celine's POV : The scent of wet mud was the first thing which brought me back from the unconscious state. As I opened my eyes, I found myself staring at a wall and a lamp which was hung on it. I looked around myself and realised I was locked inside some sort of dungeon. My hands were tied behind my back and when I tried to shift, I fell a sharp pain in my body. 'I can't do anything now. The bitch betrayed us! ' Belinay roared but her voice just came out as a whisper since she was too hurt to speak. 'Did she use wolfsbane on us? ' I asked, horrified. 'Yes, not only this but she has gotten me under a spell which is Sucking out all my powers! ' She cried out in pain. With a lot of force, I roughly pulled the chains from my hands but an electric shock passed through my body, making me fall on my stomach. This was useful and I couldn't find anything else to get out of here. But why did Aunt Emerald do it? She was my mom's sister who suffered the same fate as her. Did Calle manipulat
Celine's POV :'Whatever or whoever it is, we need to wait. Remember, we promised Alpha Tyrion about sharing everything first. ' Belinay was right and I was not going to respond back to the voice. And for the stranger mind link, it had to be Calle. There was no one who would go to certain lengths to make me feel insecure of my big day. 'You don't need to be worried about it anymore. I am never going to hide anything from him. 'I heard a soft knock on the door and two maids entered with their heads bowed down and face lit up with a smile. They were in our ancient traditional attire especially designed for the crowning day. "We bow down to the Luna and ask for her permission to take her to the crowning ceremony. " I felt a smile spreading on my lips. They were so delighted to have said that royal sentence almost content that they got to be a part of it. A part of my life. "Yes, please. " With both of them on my either sides, I walked to the palace royalty chamber which was decora
Celine's POV : It took my brain a few seconds to register the statement and then the reality hit me. The crowd had gathered around the well and I could hear Ava's sounds of crying for help. Before I could go and save her, I saw Alpha Jonathan himself standing at the boundary of the well and he jumped in to help her out. "Dad... " She said, in a half conscious state. "Why did you think I will just let you die? You could have once talk to me. Even after all the mistakes you did, I have always forgiven you. Haven't I? " "I didn't know how I could survive without your support. I felt like being lost in the darkness. " She cried again. Alpha Jonathan hugged her more, " Let's go to the pack. I will take care of you. I don't want to lose my daughter because of silly people and their stupid lives. " As I stood there, my gaze fixed upon the retreating figures of Ava and her father, Alpha Jonathan, a wave of anger passed through me. They were the sole reason for everyone's mi
Celine's POV : Alpha Tyrion was coming my way as I mind-linked with him. In all this mess, he looked so tired and a little frustrated. The anger in my head calmed down as I saw him. "Just arranged the guards on the borders. What do you want to discuss, love? " He asked, his hands running down my back. I melted into his soft touch, " Nothing. I just wanted to see you. " I lied because if I had told him about the dungeon he would be leaving for the woods and inspect the place himself. But right now, he needed rest and sleep. After I had gone missing and got trapped in the hidden room, he had been worried about me without thinking of his own health. "Is that all? Why do I feel like that you are hiding something from me again? " He asked, running his hand in my hair. I sighed, " I am definitely not hiding anything from you ever again but right now I don't want to discuss it. Both of us need some good rest and I have missed you so much. " I wrapped my hands around him in a tight emb
Celine's POV :"I am your daughter and you're my mother. You have suffered enough now. " I said, hugging her back. Aunt planted a kiss on my forehead, " You shouldn't wait any longer. I want to see you as the crowned Queen of the kingdom. " I took a deep breath, shaking my head at her emotional request again. I could not explain to her or to anyone what I felt inside knowing that I still could not find about my mother and uncle. Wearing and accepting the throne would only make me more depressed. " I want to know about them. At least a little information... " Aunt closed her eyes and covered her face with palms. I could see her beginning to get a little angry at me now. She must be frustrated by my constant wish to go deep down the secrets which were held from me. "Celine,... " I interrupted, " At least let me know about the skeleton in the dungeon. It looked like that it had been there for ages and it also had a huge red ring. I have already sent the ring to the Royal elders so
Celine's POV :I wanted to slap him again but the queen stopped me as she glared at him. But as a shameless monster he was, Calle didn't hide his excitement. The elders of the pack stood in unison and one of them cleared his throat. "That can be decided later but we don't think a war is what we need. First of all, we need to clear some misunderstanding to the pack so please corporate with us. " He said. "Yes, I want the best for everyone. " I answered. The elder stood in the centre of the pack members as they all surrounded him curiously. They had been whispering to each other trying to make sense of everything because it was two difficult for them to understand that I was the daughter of their late queen. "As we all know now, Luna Celine, the mate of Alpha Tyrion, is the princess of the pack. I want to go back in the past and start from where all this is related. She was lost when she was a child after she was born in the woods because the King and Queen threw her mother out to h
Celine's POV : Anger ran through my veins like molten fire as I stormed towards Lycan Calle, my steps fueled by a burning rage. The disbelief and shock on the faces of the queen and the pack members did not deter me. I needed answers, and I needed them now.Without hesitation, I raised my hand and delivered a resounding slap across Calle's face. The sound echoed through the air, a sharp crack that clearly gave the reflection of my fury. His head jerked to the side, and silence settled like a heavy blanket upon the onlookers.Alpha Tyrion stood beside me, his presence radiating anger and strength. His low, menacing growl filled the space, a warning to anyone who dared to interfere. I could feel his true support, his primal instincts aligning with my own.I grabbed Lycan Calle by the collar of his shirt, my grip tight and unyielding. My voice, filled with a combination of pain and seething rage, erupted from within me. "Why did you kill my mother? Why?" I screamed, my teeth clenching
Alpha Tyrion's POV : 'She had promised to not go anywhere without telling me. ' I told Sabre who was growing restless with each passing moment. 'Are you sure no one forced her to go anywhere with him? ' He growled. My fists clenched angrily and I snarled knowing who was behind all this. As the mated bond was marked between us, it was my responsibility to protect my mate, Celine, from any harm that may befall her. But now, as I searched frantically through the pack's territory, my suspicions weighed heavily on my mind. Lycan Calle, he would be doing everything in his power to create distance between us. And he was back in the pack after going missing for more than two days. I should have known he would do something to her. I knew he was capable of doing something to harm her. Every fiber of my being yearned to find her, to ensure her safety.I made my way to his meeting hall because he had been trying to build protections around the kingdom for not letting anyone cross into the bo
Celine's POV : As I pressed myself against the cold, damp wall, the muffled sounds of footsteps and voices echoed in the distance. Panic coursed through my veins, urging me to find a hiding place, to escape the prying eyes of the guards who will take me to Calle for coming here. And so, in a moment of desperation, I had stumbled further more upon this hidden tunnel, a secret passage concealed behind the old walls of the ancient pack house. It was just my random luck that I had found this secret passage because in no way anyone would have ever considered this wild thought by looking at the wall. 'The sound was coming from here. But i can't hear it now. ' Belinay said, reminding me of the reason why we had been here in the first place. I was scared for a brief moment because the closed walls give me the feeling that I was going to be suffocated here and would never be found. But as I stood here, engulfed in darkness, a flicker of curiosity ignited within me. The tunnel stretched o
