~d.j"I can't believe you agreed" Dominic mumbles while throwing a pebble in the river, I follow the pebble until it skips a few times and disappears under the water.After I agreed, we silently walked towards the river bank and sat by it, we both were to stunned to speak for some time.I look at Dominic who throws another pebble, the muscles of his arm contract with each throw. My eyes move around, taking in his form.I Stop my gaze on his face, suddenly he turns around, his forest green eyes making contact with my own. I jump in embarrassment and look around, my cheeks flush.I hate it when someone catches you staring!"You can look as much as you want, I'm all yours you know that" Dominic teases me. I roll my eyes and turn towards him "You had something in your hairs" I point.He chuckles shaking his head, "You know you are a bad liar" he says "that'sRelated chapters
Celeste 24. Kill The Alpha
"Darkness shields as much as it threatens"~ R. Scott Bakker, The judging eyeMy brain freezes for a moment, processing the new voice."W-who is it?" I ask, I gulp down some saliva through my sudden dry throat. I widen my legs in a running stance and steady my heartbeat.'Just don't panic Celeste' I repeat these words in my mind.I look around slowly, trying to look past the trees, being a werewolf we can see in the dark but definitely not past objects."Answer me!" I hiss angrily, I could feel a building headache and anger rising within me."What is the Luna doing all alone in this forest without her guards?" the voice taunts, I try to navigate the location of the voice but it seem like it's echoing from all directions."The Luna isn't a coward like you who hides behind people or objects, I face my own problems and enemies head on" I taunt the voice back, I was trying to rile up the person for them to come
Celeste 25. Brutal Truth
"As my story came to a close, I realised that I was the villain all along"~Unknown "Does it not hurt?" I ask Dominic while patching up his wound. He hasn't even sighed out of pain since I have started treating the wound.He silently shakes his head while keeping his gaze on the floor. We reached the pack house few minutes ago and the first thing I did was to make sure to stop his bleeding forehead, Dominic has been quite the whole time, he hasn't even lifted up his head."Dominic" I call him slowly while placing the bandages back in the first aid box. I close the box and place it aside, Dominic doesn't answer me.I sigh, I know he's upset.I take hold of his cheeks and make him look at me, his shocked green eyes meet my grey one's. "Snap out of it" I shake him a little.He stares at me with such innocence that I couldn't help but melt into his gaze, "did he hurt you?" he asks lowly, "no" I shake my head "but he did hurt you" I point at his wound."Don't worry about that, it's just
Celeste 26. Painless Goodbye
"Maybe, it was just the wrong time for us"~Autumn I sit alone on the dining table playing with my food, I glance at the entrance of the room for the hundredth time only to look away disappointed.I thought Dominic would return back for dinner but he hasn't, I think I was too harsh on him.If I put myself in his shoes I can understand his situation much better, if Theo one day rejects me and leaves me for his true mate that would be unbearable for me, although he won't do that but thinking about it makes Dominic's situation more understandable.One thing is for sure, he and I can't be together, I just need to figure out a way to end this bond without causing both of us more pain.What should I do? where do I go? my mind scrambles for possible solutions and than like a fused bulb is suddenly lit, my brain shouts one name."Hera!" I say out loud.~~~~~~~I've been standing outside the dungeon room for almost 15 minutes, contemplating if this is the right option.But this is also my onl
Celeste 27. His Touch
"The course of true love never did run smooth"~William ShakespeareI enter the pack house, still reeling from Hera's words, the bond cannot be broken without Dominic not finding out, he will instantly know that something isn't right.I need to convince him to make this process easier for the both of us.I was so deep in my thought that I didn't see the wall infront of me, I get slammed in the hard wall, two large hands are quick to hold my disbalanced form.I look up to find green eyes staring at me in amusement, "you don't want us to be together, don't want me to touch you, yet you are the one who always finds her way to me" Dominic says with a smirk.I roll my eyes at him, "you always block my way" I retort straightening myself."What were you doing in the dungeons?" his question takes me by surprise, I look at him unable to hide my surprise. "You followed me" I state accusingly, "I was just keeping an eye on you for your safety, after what happened in the jungle I can't leave you
Celeste 28. My Mate
"The best dreams are the unrealistic ones"~FarawayAs the horror of my action settle in, I decide to talk to Dominic right now about our bond.I lightly push his shoulders to move away but he only tightens his holds, my heart constricts at his action."Dominic, I need to talk to you" I mumble while trying to get away once again, he presses his lips on my shoulder giving me a sweet kiss.I close my eyes at his tenderness, "talk baby, I'm listening" he starts a trail of butterfly kisses. I wiggle a bit, "It's important" my eyes roll by the sensations my body feels because of his touch."Hmm..." he hums to busy in forming a path of kisses over my upper body. "I want to break our bond!" I finally spurt out, his body freezes instantly. His hands loosen their grip and I take that moment to pull away.I stumble back a few steps, I look around avoiding to see him for as long as I can. I don't think I would be able to see his reaction.I can't hide it, I admit that I have grown some feelings
Celeste 29. Who To Choose
"Maybe when the time is right you will find me again~K. TolnoeThe main door smashes open, startled I jump up from my place, Helen squeeks and quickly covers her stomach.Alex enters the house, Helen glares at him, he notices her hand and instantly regrets his action."Where is he?" I ask hurriedly, "can you specify?" he asks walking towards his mate and rubbing her belly."Theo" I say without missing a beat, both Helen and Alex stare at me quietly "I have sent my men to look for him, he's an Alpha don't worry about him. He knows how to navigate his way, he'll be back soon" Alex answers with a tired sigh."And what about Dom?" I ask, "Dom?" Helen questions with a raised brow "Dominic" I correct myself. "He's in the pack hospital, Theodore did a number on him but he'll be fine by the morning" Alex reassures me.After I confessed to Dominic being my mate everyone just stopped including Theo, he gave me a look that showed how shell shocked he was and the next thing I see him changing in
Celeste 30. Choosing Him
"I'll see you when the road decides it's time for our paths to cross again"~ B.M. "We need to talk" after saying those words Theo turns around towards the direction of the forest, I silently follow him, not afraid of going to the forest at this hour because I knew he would never harm me.We walk for a good 10 minutes until we are deep inside with nothing but trees to see around. Theo walks by a large tree and puts his hand over it. I move closer and see what he's doing.I see he is tracing his fingers over the markings carved in the tree, I instantly realize that a wolf must have died or been killed here by rogues.Whenever a werewolf is close to dying or brutality bruised by rogues they run to the forest and prefer dying close to a specific tree, there is an ancient theory among us that the trees provide calming waves to a dying werewolf which makes the death less painful and when the soul leaves our body it transfers inside the tree and grows with it until the end of time.In othe
Celeste 31. Rejection
"For someone who doesn't want to lose me, you don't act like you want to keep me"~ J.B.Silence.Complete utter silence is what follows my answer, Theo is the first one to react, he runs to me engulfing me in a warm hug, he peppers my face with kisses.His eyes are wet but his face is elated, his face is lit like a Christmas tree, it's like he got his early Christmas present this year.I look over at Dominic, my eyes widen when I find him on the floor on his knees, Alex beside him holding him while Helen rubbing his shoulders with teary eyes.Theo follows my gaze, I don't see a bit of sympathy in them but their isn't any anger as well."I think you should end this properly" he turns to me and tells me, I look at him shocked than back at a broken Dominic, can I do it? can I hurt him more."Celeste we need to leave, end this now" Theo pushes me in a softer tone but the persuasion in his tone can't be missed.I don't respond to him, I only stare in his eyes. "I know it's hurting, it may

Celeste 47. Last Chance
"Take the risk or loose the chance"~ Unknown "You rejected your true mate and didn't even tell us about it?" Mom asks in a baffled tone just as we enter inside the house."Mom!" I say tiredly, rubbing my temples, "what mom! Answer me" she marches and stands infront of me, stopping my escape."Kyle! We don't know anything about what is going in our daughters life! What kind of parents are we?" She wails looking around.Dad is quick to be at her side, he gives her a hug, not able to see his mate in pain."Mom, please relax yourself" tears well up my eyes as I try to console my mother who is crying uncontrollably."I should've had stopped these two at the ceremony day, our daughter would have been saved from so much pain" mom cries, her legs weaken and she slips into dad's embrace."Love!" Dad screams in panic "mom!" I too get worried "dad, lay her on the sofa" I run towards the sofa and move away the cushions.Dad quickly carries mom in his hold, she buries her face in his chest.He l
Celeste 46. Selfish
"Turns out it was mostly a lie. But, at least for a short while, it was a beautiful one.~ Unknown "Baby you need something?" Mom asks peeking inside my room, I weakly shake my head. I hear her sigh followed by her steps nearing me.I feel the bedside dip, her warm hand caresses my head, her touch is enough for the waterworks to resume again.I sob burying my face into the pillow, she gently tries to soothe me until I calm down."You need to get out of this room, let your wolf be free and feel the nature around you. It will make you feel better my child" she says lovingly.I move around until my head ia resting on her lap.I don't want to go out. I don't want to go anywhere.It's been 3 nights since I witnessed that gut wrenching scene, I did wait for any explanation and directly ran to my parents house, since than I have confined myself into my old bedroom.Mom and Dad were very hurt about the whole situation but they were kind enough to give me space, they also made sure to keeo ev
Celeste 45. Heartbreak
"You stay quiet, while a war happens within you"~UnknownCarina's POV:6 years ago.... (Alpha Theodore's 18th birthday ceremony) :I'm so happy! Finally, Celeste and Theodore will be destined as true mates today. Well, their relationship is not anything less than of true mates but to have it confirmed by the moon goddess herself is another thing.I just visited Celeste and my girl looked so happy and pretty. Celeste and I share such a deep bond that I can practically sense all of her feelings within me, whether it being happiness, anger or sadness. We've been friends from the beginning of our lives and I am sure we'll remain such till our last breaths.Today, I feel like I'm the one who is going to get their mate instead of Celeste, that's the depth of our connection. Since we've been pups I have seen the love they both share for each other. Every pack member truly wants them both to be true mates, they are just so perfect, perfectly made for each other by the goddess.I don't kno
Celeste 44. Exile Them
"Unfortunately you won't know that some people are poisonous until they bite you"~ CJ"Luna!" I hear a panicked voice beside me."Quick Stephen, get the Alpha" the voice I assume of one of the guards orders the other.The guard doesn't touch me in respect, he tries calling me but I couldn't respond as I felt if all my energy is drained.Within minutes someone picks me up, it's Theo, I sigh relieved "Celeste! Who did this!?" He holds my cheeks and tries to shake me awake."WHO DID THIS TO MY MATE!?? WERE YOU ALL DEAD!" Theo booms, I can sense other guards joining him.Fear and nervousness is thick in the air, "Where the hell were you JAVIAR!?" Theo questions his beta."Alpha I was patrolling near by, I did not sense anything out of the ordinary, I don't know how this happened" he seems genuinely worried.During this whole ordeal I had managed to open my eyes, I raise my hand and hold Theo's cheek, his fiery eyes turn to me."Who did this!?" He questions in an angry whisper."Get rid of
Celeste 43. Last Offering
"It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to, has power over you, if you allow it"~Unknown2 days later...It's been 2 days since that horrific fire burned down our packs most innocent residents.The fire may have cooled down, the ashes may have been swaped away but the painful burn it has left behind would forever ache in almost every pack members heart forever.The fire took away our kind hearted Mina, the fire took away all those innocent smiles and that fire took away our son.My heart constricts and tears flow down as I imagine a little baby of not much older than a month being eaten alive by those harsh flames, what pain he must have felt when it touched his skin. Who must have the helpless child called for help? The fire burned down our hopes and dreams, the fire burned down our future.Oh, how I wish I had not returned him back to Mina, how I wish Theo's guards would have reached their sooner and had saved all those innocent lives.I can only wish.I ponder
Celeste 42. Blazing Fire
"Now I have to remember you for longer than I have known you"~ C.C.Aurel"What's the matter? you aren't paying any attention to me" Carina complains throwing a straw towards me.I look at her annoyed, we decided on having lunch today, I met her in the local restaurant few minutes ago. I didn't realize when I zoned out."I'm skeptical of that new girl Nova" I voice out my concerns, there was no beating around the bush with Carina, we were always direct with our problems.She stops chewing her food and looks at me "in what sense?" she questions putting down her spoon. "I think she has her eyes on Theo, no! actually I'm sure of it" I nod my head exclaiming loudly.Carina joins her hands together resting her chin over them "you want me to investigate?" she questions with a serious expression."Are you really asking?" I question back quirking up a brow "on it" she says nodding her head.~~~~~~~~~I was now back in the pack house, doing some work when I sense a presence behind me, I look o
Celeste 41. Family
"Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance."~Oscar Wilde I tighten my hold on Theo's arm pushing myself closer to his side, I have tears in my eyes as I view the horrible scene infront of us.After Javiar came with the news, Theo and I ran to the forest, a guard guided us the way.Javiar stayed behind in the pack to send everyone back to their homes to safety, he will join us as soon as he makes sure everyone's safe.The guard informed us that he found the message while patrolling the area, he quickly informed Javiar who came running to us with the news.I gasped in horror when my eyes first laid on the gruesome scene.Tears and sadness filled my eyes at the sight of a familiar pack members body dismembered.Kevin, he was a old werewolf, a farmer of our pack. I knew him and his wife personally, he was such a sweetheart.He used to gift us his crops every year as a gratitude to his Alpha and Luna.My heart shattered seeing his headless body hanging upside down from a t
Celeste 40. Oath Ceremony
"Trusting you is my decision, proving me right is your choice"~Unknown"If you need anything feel free to ask around, the pack members will be more than happy to help" I say to the group of our new werewolfs.They nod their head in gratitude "you have already done so much for us Luna, we can't ask for more" one woman says respectfully."You are now our family and family takes care of each other" I say with a sweet smile "these are your rooms, get settled in, after the oath taking ceremony you will be shifted to your own homes, tha couples will have separate homes while the remaining 2 ladies will be staying in the pack house until they find their mate" I announce and walk out of the hallway.Their were 2 couples among the group, one shared 2 pups and the other didn't have any yet, they told me that they didn't want their pups to be slaves like them that's why they didn't try for a child but now as they are free they will definitely think about expanding their family.The 2 remaining
Celeste 39. New Members
"I choose to see the beauty and somehow this connects everything"~Seeker"What you did there was very brave" Carina says feeding me soup.I woke up a few minutes ago, Carina was attending to me, she informed me that the attack was over, Theo and his men fought viciously and sent those beasts away for good.The shewolfs and pups were sent back to their homes, Carina stayed back to look after me, due to my injury I was still in the secret room and not moved out.She said that I was out for 6 hours, but thanks to the medicine our pack doctor Sally injected in me, my wound was healing very fast."It was my duty, any Luna in my place would have defended her people" I shrug sipping another spoon."Any Luna who is respected and honored by her people Celeste, we all know how the pack members treat you and you still endangered your life without thinking twice" she shakes her head in disapproval."You should had left them to fend for themselves, they were 4 shewolfs, they could have easily man
