[ Celeste ]I didn’t know how I got back into my old room, who brought me there. All I remembered was the deep pain and I passed out in the dining area. When I woke up, I was tucked in my bed. The pain in my chest was gone but my head was pounding.I checked the time, it was eight. I never sleep till this late. I stretched my arms and tried to get off the bed but my head spun. I sat down and clutched my head. I was glad that whoever brought me here, they didn’t choose to take me to Darius’ room.I just don’t want to face him yet.I don’t think I can stand him until he confesses what he did last night but I am sure that exactly happened. He stabbed my trust and betrayed our bond.I was thinking about my complicated life when there was a knock on the door. This time I couldn’t ignore it.I didn’t want to see anyone in this condition. I looked like a zombie with red eyes and bags under them but the person knocked again.“Come in.” I said and adjusted my clothes and hairs.Julia entered i
[ Celeste ]I couldn’t believe that I was actually pregnant so I went to meet the doctor to ask her to run another check up on me and when the results were out, I broke down into tears.I was a month pregnant. I conceived on the first night I and Darius spent together but my body didn’t show any sign and all this time I was just being careless.“Mama will protect you from everyone who would want to hurt you, my baby.” I promised my baby. I couldn’t sink this news in that I was actually carrying another life inside me but my old experiences made me feel insecure and over protective of my babies.I couldn’t content my happiness but at the same time, I felt sad because he wasn’t there with me but tending to his lover.“Mama will love you more than anyone in this world, baby. You won’t feel the absence of your father.” I said with misty eyes but if Darius wants me to compromise, I won’t.My child will be raised without a father if he wants to give shared love.With my future plans and ext
[ Darius ]“Alpha, this is a confirm news. Lucian and his gang of approximately five hundred wolves are approaching towards the north front. They have disguised themselves with the scent of the wolves of the pack they pass so they can’t be traced.” Keith explained me the details of this news information on Lucian.I gripped the edge of desk.“Are we prepared for a war?” I asked him.“Logically, yes but we don’t know what is going in his twisted brain, Alpha. He never comes on the front and always disappears before his opponent reacts. He is swift, powerful and his brain plays a move ahead of his enemies.” Keith gave me an unsure answer.“I only asked you if we can win this or not, Keith? The time has come. We can’t wait anymore. It’s either do or die for me. I have waited for him all these years. My patience is wanning. My sister and others need justice and it must be served soon.” I said.“I understand your sentiments but we have to be careful. As long as we know him, he always attac
[ Celeste ]“Calm down girl, you are eating like a mammoth.” Lenna who was stuffing her mouth with roasted chicken smacked my hand when I picked a piece for myself.“Hey, you ate most of it and you are calling me an ugly animal.” I glared her and she stuffed my mouth with lettuce leaves.“Eat more fibre.” She grinned and ate the last remaining piece of chicken from my plate.“Come on, my body also needs extra nutrition, Lenna.” I rolled my eyes.“Then go and find more meat in the kitchen. I was craving roasted chicken and my baby will come out soon so I won’t be able more spicy and fried stuffs.” She said rubbing her swollen belly.“Do not use your baby as the excuse to eat extra, Lenna. We all know that you are crazy about chicken.” I said and filled my plate with red meat. I need more nutrition to keep my baby healthy.“Let’s finish our lunch with some sweet yogurt.” She said licking her lips.“Fetch me some blueberry flavoured.” I said and she gave our desired order to a maid.“Whe
[ Celeste ]“Celeste, I am pregnant. Can’t you see? My baby’s life is in danger. I can’t go back to Jesper. He doesn’t give a shit about me and the baby. He thinks that it’s not his baby.” Melissa cried but her pleads didn’t melt my heart.“It was you who wanted him desperately. You did everything in your power to make him yours and when you finally have him, you have regrets. Oh, come on, Melissa. Grow up. I am tired of your tantrums.” I threw my hands in the air. “Celeste, don’t speak to your pregnant sister like this. Mistakes happen. People do make mistakes. You also made mistakes, a lot of times. She is your sister, your own blood. Can’t you forgive her?” My father reprimanded me.I scoffed in disbelief. They were standing at my pack and they had the audacity to question me and my previous life.“Excuse me, Alpha Miller. Talk with respect, she isn’t your daughter but the Luna of Black Shadow Pack and you are talking to the Luna. You are alive until now because I don’t want unnec
[ Darius ]“Why didn’t you tell me about it?”I tried to break the silence in the air. Celeste’s back was facing me. She excused herself once Miller family left and went quiet which was unbearable for me.“I prefer to bury past in the past. Not every story is meant to be shared. Some are meant to be left in the closed chapters.” She replied in a distanced tone.I sighed and placed my hand over hers which was resting on the railing of the balcony. The pack looks very beautiful from this height.“I would never judge you on the basis of your past, Celeste. It was your past you were the victim of their greed and wickedness.” I said what I felt.She tilted her head slightly, I could see sadness on her face and my heart clenched seeing her like that. She had gone through a lot that she would never tell me.“But I judged you.” She said and I felt honesty in her tone, “It is our natural feeling, Darius. You looked at me differently when you got to know that I once had another mate. I saw into
[ Darius ]“Gentlemen, I have put my condition before you all. We’re at the brink of war with Lucian, the rogue who had taken many lives brutally. He is a slayer who destroyed many packs. He plundered my pack a decade ago and left nothing to start over. He is coming again for us, all of us.” I addressed all Alphas meeting.I could see sweat on everyone’s face.“Apha Darius, we agree with you but he is only invading the small packs and hasn’t dared to come across bigger packs. It proves that he doesn’t have balls to attack big packs.” Alpha Max said.“What do you think, Alpha Max? He is attacking the small packs so big packs like ours relax and he’ll have the opportunity to plunder us. Their numbers are in thousands. They capture slaves from defeated packs and force them to fight for him.” I explained him.“But he is the problem of north. The south territories are safe from him. we have no records of him attacking or sneaking in southern packs.” Alpha Max added.“Alpha Darius, you have
[ Celeste ]“Do you really think these silver chains will lock me up here forever?” Jesper barked at me but he yelled in pain in the next moment when a guard slammed a silver whip on his bare back.He couldn’t be recognized as he was smeared in his own blood, his skin peeled out due to the beatings he received, his face was swollen, yet he wasn’t ready to surrender.“I guess you are waiting for your master to save you but let me tell you, Lucian doesn’t give a shit about his own son who is rotting in the cell next to yours. You are nothing but a pest for him, Jesper.” I laughed seeing his hope.He growled and spat blood.“You and your mate will regret this, Celeste. You want to play this game. Enjoy it as long as Lucian isn’t coming for you. Once he comes, I bet there won’t be a single strand of your hairs can’t be found. He will finish you and your pack’s existence from the map.” He gave me empty threats.“Well, I am waiting for him, dear Alpha Jesper. But sadly, you won’t be alive t

[ Celeste ]“Where is Darius? Did you tell him to be on time, Keith?” Julia asked Keith.We all sat down to have our dinner. Julia wanted us to eat together like a family as she returned from her brother’s house after a week and she expressed her wish to eat with her family.“Yes, Auntie. He’ll be here anytime.” Keith replied but I noticed that he looked nervous. He knew something.“We can’t wait for him more, Julia. He must understand the value of time and his seriousness. He doesn’t care for family anymore.” Desmond looked frustrated.Honestly, my own patience was wanning. I hadn’t seen him since our tensed conversation and then I heard from Keith that he went for running. I just hope he was fine.“I told him in the morning about my wish but he always forgets.” Julia looked sad and I felt bad for her.“I’ll go and check on him.” I said and about to stand up from my seat but Keith beat me to it.“Luna, he is back from his run and went to see Miss Elena. She wasn’t feeling well.” Keit
