[ Darius ]“You look tired.” Elena’s soft rang into my ears and I felt her fingers into my hairs but I didn’t feel the same spark anymore. In fact, her touch made me uncomfortable.I gently removed her hand from my head and walked close to the railing of the rooftop. The mild night breeze was soothing to my body but my mind was disturbed. The only face which kept dancing in front of my eyes and whose thoughts always invade my mind, it’s Celeste.“Darius, I am noticing that you are distant from me. Did I upset you over something?” She wrapped her hands around my torse while back hugging me.“It’s not that, Elena. I am not upset with you. I told you that it’s work.” I replied while trying to remove her hands but her grip only tightened. Knox growled in annoyance.“Then why don’t you make love to me? Why you flinch by my touch? Is it the mate bond? Are you fallen in love with her?” She asked slowly turning me to face her and I couldn’t meet her misty eyes.“You know I can’t control it. N
[ Celeste ]Emptiness and a numbing pain, that’s what I was feeling. The day passes in performing my duties but nights are the witness of my lonely and despaired life.I gazed out of the window of my room. The moon was shining in the sky, shedding its silver light on everything, the woods, mountains and the houses. I see families enjoying their time together.I wish to have a family. I wish to love them and take care of their needs. I wish for a house filled with their laughter, I wish to cook for them and we eat together.And it will always remain a dream.I am living in a packhouse with a hundred other people. I don’t live with my mate in his room but in a guest room since I have come.A knock on the door put a full stop on my depressing thoughts and I went to open it but what I wasn’t expecting a bone crushing hug by Darius. His warmth and scent invaded my exhausted senses. I couldn’t move for a few moments, only tried to process what was actually happening until I felt wetness on
[ Celeste ]I tried to move in my sleep but I couldn’t as I felt a weight on my chest. I slowly opened my eyes and was surprised to see the most beautiful sight.Darius was sleeping soundly placing his head on my chest, his warm breath was falling on my bare skin and a smile made its way on my lips. I ran my fingers through his hairs. Last night was unexpected and dramatic for me.Darius didn’t only break his ties with his girlfriend but also confessed his love for me which came like a pure shock to me but my happiness had no bounds.I checked the time it was still early but he had to get up and leave for his meeting with Jesper which is my main concern. I don’t want them to clash. I know Jesper, he is smart at playing mind games and Darius easily gets hyper.I just hope everything goes well.“Darius, please wake up. It’s four.” I gently shook his but he groaned and buried his face in my neck while his hand tightly wrapped around my waist.“Darius, don’t complain later that I didn’t w
[ Darius ]“He is here, Alpha. I can see nervousness and impatience in his actions. He has increased security on our borders as far as I can see and he is also approaching the stream with a dozen men.” Keith, who was keeping an eye on Jesper from a high cliff, mind linked me. We had arrived at our border with the Red Stone Pack.“Let him come with his full arm force, we’ll still have an upper hand on him.” I said with a smirk and comfortably sat down on the chair and enjoyed the view.Half an hour later, I heard the paws hitting the ground. I was also there with at least fifty wolves, all ready to slay on my one order but I believe in a peaceful initial negotiation before using any violence.Keith also returned and took his position beside me.“He is here.” He said with a smirk.The sun was slowly rising in the horizon, spreading its light on everything.“Alpha Darius Lockwood, good morning. It’s our pleasure to meet you after a very long time.” Jesper appeared on the other side of th
[ Darius ]“You must to give Celeste over to me.”As soon as these words, I was already on my fours, my skin was covered in fur and Knox could only see red. How could he mention my mate? I jumped into the river, splashing water in the river and soon I was face to face with Jesper who also shifted into his wolf form and now growling at me.He had brought it upon himself. I knocked him down on the ground and sank my claws deep in his flesh while he tried his best to fight back with me but he had no match with my strength.I was about to aim at his neck but Keith yanked me back.“Darius, don’t do this. He provoked you intentionally. That’s what Celeste warned you about.” He mind linked me because Knox had taken full control and he’d definitely kill him.I growled at his wolves and retreated.Shifting into my human form, I gave him a murderous glare and he smirked dusting off his body.“You can’t kill me, Darius. I know you are desperately dying to finish me. If you attack me again, you’l
[ Celeste ]Darius has decided to wedge a war against the Red Stone Pack.I am confident in Darius, the Red Stone Pack has no match with Darius and Black Shadow Pack but I have a deep intuition that this war will bring upsetting consequences. Jesper is provoking Darius means he has someone to back him.I hope the person is not Lucian because I don’t want Darius to put his life on jeopardy again.“What are you thinking?” Darius asked in my ear as he wrapped his arms around me from behind.“Nothing, just everything which happened recently. You tell me, what brings you here at this time?” I shrugged my shoulders, I couldn’t share my concerns with him when he is already dealing with a lot. I want to support him in everything.“Do I need a reason to meet my mate?” He caged me in his strong arms and pulled me closer. I placed my hands on his hard chest and felt how his heart was beating.“No, you don’t but right now, your Luna is on her job.” I said pointing my finger at the omegas, who wer
[ Celeste ]“Elena!”Darius rushed to the woman coiled on the floor. She was crying in pain. Undoubtedly, the blow was fatal for her but I didn’t do it intentionally. I had to protect myself and Kyra reacted on time.I blinked my eyes when my mind processed what had happened. I took slow steps towards them. Darius was patting her blood smeared face but she was slowly losing her senses.“Elena, don’t give up. I am taking you to the doctor right away. Just stay awake.” He said softly to her and the care I saw in his eyes, it broke my heart.He still have feelings for her when he claims to love me.“I am sorry, Darius. I didn’t mean to hurt her. I couldn’t control Kyra.” I immediately apologized because whether I was guilty or not, Elena was hurt.“You could stop her, Celeste.” He said to me in a worried tone and picked her in his arms.He rushed out of the packhouse, not caring if his secret will be exposed. He just wanted to protect her. I followed after him. No matter if he blames me
[ Celeste ]I looked out of the window of my room, it is my safe confinement where I can be myself. I can mourn my grief and weep my tears. No one will come to give me a shoulder to cry or whisper comforting words that everything is going to be fine.It happened for the fifth time.“Why only me? What have I done to suffer this cruelty?” I cried hiding my face in my lap, the pain in my lower abdomen was nothing in compare of the emotional wound that had been inflicted upon me by my fate and everyone I love, my mate, his family and the pack members.They all look down at me in disappointment.I am Luna Celeste of Red Stone Pack. My mate, Alpha Jesper has stopped showing affection on me when I miscarried for the third time. It’s been five years since we met and marked each other but the Alpha is without an heir.I was loved and adored by my mate and my pack before the tragedies began to happen.There was another knock, this time it was louder and harsher than before. I dragged my tired bo

[ Darius ]“He isn’t speaking, Alpha. We tried many times, tortured him in the cruelest way but he remained silent. It seems he prefers death over spilling information about his father and the group of those bastards who have causing pain and suffering to our world.” Keith said in frustration and kicked the bloodied rogue who was tied in silver chains.I looked at the young wolf, his body was smeared with blood, dried and fresh, his skin had peeled off at many places and deep cuts and burn marks could be seen on every single patch of his body. I wondered how he was still alive because we weren’t even giving him food or water.“I know you can listen us, Rogue.” I said splashing icy cold water on his wounded face and he whimpered in pain. I couldn’t see his face as his long hairs covered his face and he had his head lowered.“I am alive. Your father had all the intentions to kill me yet I am here and soon, I’ll throw the pieces of your rotten corpse around the packs so your father has t
[ Celeste ]“I won’t allow it.”Darius’s firm reply came and I sighed. I expected this kind of stubbornness from him.“Please, Darius. It is good for everyone.” I requested him again expecting that he’d understand.“Let’s not talk about it now, Celeste. I have something more important to discuss with you.” He shook his head in a dismissive manner and I knew that he didn’t want to talk about it.But I won’t let go off this conversation because I need to sort out my life first.“Yes.” I nodded my head in affirmation but I could tell that his face had a sheer layer of hesitation.“I have to meet Apha Jesper.” He said and if I said I wasn’t stunned, it’d be a pure lie.I blinked my eyes a few times to process his words, “What do you mean you are about to meet Jesp…” I paused, I couldn’t even pronounce his name without stuttering, “I mean Alpha of Red Stone Pack?” I corrected my question.“We have received information on rogues’ activities in the nearby forests which are located on the out
