[ 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 ]“How dare you to take such big decision which is a complete nonsense? You didn’t even consult with any of us before changing the rules which are set by our ancestors centuries ago and we are still following?” Desmond Lockwood yelled at me and I flinched.I was summoned in front of the council first thing in the morning as soon as the news of Omegas’ training spread. As I predicted, Desmond was the most furious among others.“Pardon me, father but I talked and discussed it with Alpha and everything is happening only after his permission.” I answered firmly and it was the truth.But Darius wasn’t present there to defend me.He was busy nursing his lover.“We strongly condemn this act of stupidity, Luna. We thought you were sincere and mature to handle the matters of a powerful and glorious pack like ours but you proved that you and your ideology belongs to an insignificant pack like Red Stone.” One of the council member said throwing a disapproving look at me.I swallowed th
[ 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
[ Celeste ]I slowly opened my eyes and found myself among tall trees and a dark sky studded with stars. I was lying on the ground, my body aching with pain and having no energy after running miles for an aimless direction, avoiding to step into another pack’s territory, I didn’t know when my paws got stuck in a tree trunk and hit my head on the rocky ground. I lost my consciousness.I tried to sit with great difficulty. My head was spinning but I could smell other wolves in the air which means only two things. Either I was at a pack or there might be rouges around me. Both are the worst scenarios for a lonely wolf.I coughed dirt and decided to leave the forest as soon as possible. Although, I am an Alpha’s daughter, my body was weak due to the rejection and I had pushed my mourning wolf out of her limits.I don’t know whether it was the darkness, or the crickets noise in the air or overpowering smell of woods or the scent of strangers, I felt uneasy and every single cell in my brain
[ Darius ]“Alpha, the rogues attacks are increasing day by day. Last night they killed a group of pups who lost in the woods while playing in the Yellow Moon Pack. It isn’t far from our pack. Should we increase the number of patrolling team?” My Beta Keith asked me while I was staring out of my office’s window at the setting sun.“They won’t dare to cross our territory unless they have a death wish.” I said with a proud smirk.He bowed and nodded, “You’re right but we can take more patrols.” He added.I shook my head, he is more stubborn than I am, always making me agree to him.“Alright, you can go but come back within an hour. We need to discuss the next training session for the teenage wolves. My father is against this but it’s better to train them as soon as they hit puberty.” I said and walked past him to leave.“Yes, Alpha.” He said and joined me.“Have you seen Alex?” I asked him about my Gamma.“He is already in the woods.” He answered and I nodded.I made my way to the kitch
[ Darius ]“I missed you, baby.” Elena’s slender arms wrapped around my neck and she pulled me for a deep kiss. My hands circled around her tiny waist and I pinned her on the nearest wall.My mind was screwed. I didn’t tell except Keith before leaving the pack, hoping to return before midnight. No one knows about the prisoner. I ordered everyone who captured her to keep their mouth shut. My parents shouldn’t know about her.“What happens to you, Darius?” She cupped my face and with furrowed brows, she questioned me when she didn’t feel me reciprocating the kiss.“A bad day but nothing to worry about.” I smiled and hugged her.“I am not one of you but I can listen to your problems, Darius. You know I am always there for you.” She said looking into my eyes. I could see immense love for me in her eyes which broke my heart even more.“I need you, Elena.” I joined our forehead and expressed my desire. Only she can make me forget this new mess in my life.“I am all yours, Alpha.” She bit he
[ Celeste ]My body was numb, I could hardly feel my pulse or any pain. I don’t even know how long I was kept in the dark cell, hearing painful whimpers and crying of other wolves, some dying and the guards dragging their bodies. The man who is my second chance mate, didn’t come back or his Beta to check whether I am alive or already dead.“Kyra, are you there?” I asked my wolf, her strength was weaking, she could no longer heal me or keep me alive.“I can’t do it more, Celeste. Without our mate, my powers are fading.” She whimpered and fell silent. I was more terrified for her. If she dies, I’ll die in no time.Suddenly, the cell doors were opened and blinding lights forced me to coil in a corner. My body began to shake with fear. Perhaps, my end was here, they’d kill me. I could recognize the scent of Beta and the guards but there was a feminine scent, sweet as honey and roses.“Free her hands right now.” I heard a melodious but angry female voice, she held authority.I still had my

[ 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
[ 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
[ 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
[ 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
[ 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
[ 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
