97. Opening Up

I noticed over the next few days that during small down times of the day Emrys would sneak off only to come back moments later, not even gone ten seconds and he’d be back. At first I thought he was texting someone or even a phone call, but sometimes his phone would be left right where he had placed it and while me and Cassandra didn’t think anything was wrong, I wanted to double check.

The next time Emrys excused himself, I too stood and followed him after a quick second had passed only to see him standing in the hallway with what looked like to be a crumpled piece of paper in his hand and a pen in the other.

“Emrys,” I must have startled him because as soon as my voice sounded, my mate jumped and almost dropped the pen. “You okay?”

    *Emrys’ POV*Slamming the sharpened blade that glinted off the lighted sun above forward and knowing it hit the bastard by the way ice shards had come back and slashing my cheeks quite harshly, I let out a growl that was enough to vibrate the solid ground…Celeste was right, I should’ve let her known about these vile creatures before an attack like this was to be made, even if no one thought that these bastards would come so far down south compared to their normal climate; yes, they had taken refugee on our cities outer mountains and King Anton and I were coming up with plans on how to rid them, only coming up short, but it was against their norm to be in a climate this warm. If it was in the deadset middle of our harsh winter then maybe I’d be able to understand it a bit better on why they were down

    Tonight was anything but relaxing.Focusing my attention on the mythical and powerful inky water in front of me, I took a deep breath as I tried to let my thoughts find their own home in the void of confusion which nestled inside of me; my hands laid over my baby bump comfortingly and it was as if I was still searching for those damn questions.It was pointless.All of the researching in books for hours upon end, question after never ending question, my vision, this damned power - everything that had led up to this moment seemed so utterly useless and now with Emrys’ high blood pressure?Goddess above.*

    The hardest part of this all was getting out of the hole…I had walked around the spacey room and tried to find some other way out, anything from a door, stairs, or even another hole that could lead me out easier, only to come up empty.In the far left corner of this abandoned room, broken glass littered the stone flooring and blood the color of dark oak stained an old and matted rug; I wondered what kind of stories did this room hold? Whose blood was shed here and why? What secrets were kept here?My hands trembled as they held onto dear life, I prayed the roots which now tangled themselves between my pale fingers painfully would hold their own and myself, my feet pushing up on the bookshelf I had moved and climbed atop of; Cassandra growled at me, angry

    “Now that we know our pup is going great, I’m ready to take action Celeste… We’ve waited too long to do anything and I feel like a failure,” Emrys filled me in as we continued our way down the corridor, our friends and colleagues waited for us in Emrys’ office. “But there's no use in talking about the subject if we’re never going to take charge,”I nodded in agreement and spoke. “Rhys, I don’t want your blood pressure to soar anymore than it already has though. You haven’t taken your needed rest -”“Baby,” Emrys came to a halt and bent down to eye level, both him and Atticus present as he spoke. “I understand your concern for me but we have to understand our people are in great danger, our pup

    It was not too surprising that the cold up in the northern mountains was bone chilling, even with the suburban’s heater on full blast, goosebumps painted my ivory skin and holding my baby bump as we drove, I let out a sigh only to have Emrys put a comforting hand on my thigh; sparks of love kissed my skin.Looking over to my mate who met my eye contact, he smiled lovingly and even though I could see the hesitation in those half stormy, half silver, and as I smiled back with my own hesitation, the thought crossed my mind.I cannot believe we are actually doing this…But I am glad we are doing this.&ldqu

    The first two weeks upon the mountains ground full of ice and snow had passed quickly, everyone compiling correctly to their designated tasks, meetings, watch schedules, and to be honest, there was nothing more I could ask of my pack; they were amazing people and giving them tasks which not only highlighted but embraced their individual talents made each day easier. There were no sightings or anything that alerted us of those icy bastards but everyone was on their toes…Letters had come once a week, as there was no internet or cell service up here, and Celeste had worried me in her first letter as she explained how she had felt cramps and there had been spotting of blood during her shower one day; Ostana had rushed her to the palaces medical emergency wing. The doctor had fiddled over her and had happily expressed that it -for some odd reason or another- was normal, as I had found out

    Eating nowadays was harder than ever as I felt too sick to eat, both from the pregnancy but also the feeling of homesickness without Emrys here; Chelsa and Ostana have been more than helpful. Ostana was busy with her own pregnancy and lately we had spent so much time at her and Laker’s newly designed apartment in the palace so she could be both comfortable and have the scent of her mate to ease her worrying of both him and the upcoming labour.I finished washing my hands at Ostana’s kitchen sink which was stained gold, orange and emerald green flowers in a small glass vase decorated the area, and drying my hands, I looked out the single sliding window; the pale crescent moon illuminated the ground below, sending delicate moonbeams into the otherwise dark room.My breathing came calm as I closed my eyes and began to

    “Read into the moon,” Chelsa moved her finger along the gold words, words that I didn’t even know she possessed the knowledge to know but it didn’t surprise me; Chelsa always had hidden intelligence. She always knew more than she let on.Always.“Read into the moon?” Arrow interrupted. “What does that even mean?”Chelsa shrugged as I began to speak. “Maybe if we read the entire message, we’ll understand,” I spoke pointedly towards my friend who squinted his eyes towards me before rolling them with a smile.“Read into the moon to spark the knowledge.”Silence passed through u

    Emrys held my hand after all my tests for the night were done; it was about three in the morning now and together, Emrys and I laid on the hospital bed. Outside, lanterns lit up an orange hue as it was snowing and I still couldn’t believe I had been asleep for months. When I had gone into my coma, I guess the doctors thought it would only be a week long and were happy about it due to my leg being broken, among many other scratches and bruises; but when I just kept sleeping, they had gotten scared. No one was sure if the Luna Knight was gonna see the light of day again…Word had seemingly gotten out about the loss of our baby too because flowers among flowers piled into the room, many fresh, and my heart bled for all those that cared; I wished I had been awake to thank everyone. Emrys seemed very happy to see me as when we both saw each other only a few hours ago, the only thing we did was hold each other and cry. Crying was a nice way of getting everything out, and especially now th

    Emrys walked through the door, sunflowers and yellow roses in hand, and as our daughter hugged his leg, he walked straight towards me with a beaming smile. “My darling,” He spoke as we embraced each other, his scent never changing from the comforting pine, and I hugged him as tight as possible. He had only been gone a month, which was long enough, but not the longest he had ever been gone either. “My love,” I responded and I could feel our daughter still hugging his leg, making me chuckle, and pulling away just enough to see his face. I could see the wear and tear battle had done to him. His eyes are darker now, skin a bit darker too, and his hair now kissed his shoulder blades; he had lost weight but gained more muscles and I could tell he hadn’t much food just by a hug. “Daddy! Guess what!?” Our beauty spoke, standing up and joining our hug. Emrys smiled as he looked at her, love flooding out from his eyes and I could tell how much he had missed her. “What?” “Momma made hone

    I gritted my teeth as I felt my body grow hot.“Get. The Fuck. Off of him.” My words were as sweet as venom, Cassandra growled so fiercely, I could feel the vibration in my feet and I knew from how the lamp buzzed, it also felt the power I had just released from myself.But… Emrys.My mate, my beloved Emrys, was there on the bed that was full of tattered blankets and unkept dirtiness, naked; the man who towered over him was none other than that of a worthless, vile, and disgusting wolf - James.James’ hair was longer now, face dirty with grime, and he definitely went downhill from his time playing daddy dearest. The clothes he wore matched the bed: tattered, dirty, and most of all, stained. With what? Who the fuck knows. I didn’t want to know. Cassandra decided that she wanted power, all of it, instantly and immediately took over my body without a single dread of hesitation; my body shifted into my white wolf, my paws hitting the dirty cement and flinging myself forward, my body sla

    Emrys’ POV“So, Alpha,” The title name spit out with such mockery I could’ve shivered but there was no energy left, not as I laid almost naked on top of the bed in a room that had two shattered windows but were levels up; sometimes I had almost thought of-I opened my eyes barely as I heard James drown on and on, just as he always does.Celeste’s POVBlood kissed my nose as Emeric and I made our way quietly down the passage, the cold and eerie place gave me the chills; Cassandra took over half of me but I forced her to save her energy for whoever the fuck had my mate.Last night, we came up with a plan - more than just one - and together we all went over it immensely. We slept until two hours before sunrise and let the waxing gibbous phase light our way; the pack was and usually is, defenseless without a leader and most of the time when they tried to gather the pack which stole our people, they either moved or disappeared completely. Emeric brought a LOT to the table, showing them ga

  • Mated to the Alpha Knight   129. I intend to Save

    The golden rays glimmered off my dirty hands, the warmth welcoming me and washing over my body just as the morning dew had done to the variety of plants I looked out on just a few moments ago; there were a few small clouds in the sky, a slight breeze hugging me. A bird, maybe a swallow, sang a sweet song not so far away from me as I found a boulder to sit down on for a quick moment as I caught my breath and gave my feet a moment of rest; closing my eyes, I let the quietness surround me. A butterfly flapped its wings, working hard to get pollen, my ears catching the light and ‘dum dump’ sound.Wildflowers from somewhere drifted with the wind, dancing into my nostrils and relaxing my brain. “Goddess,” I cringed at the voice, my mood instantly dampening with the sound. “I would kill for some Arby’s right now, damn,”“I bet Emrys would too,” I scoffed and took in a deep breath, readying myself for the climbing of this mountain; driving would tip off not only people of the kingdom but a

    “Holy fucking Goddess,” I didn’t mean to practically shout the foul language but what else is one supposed to do when all they see is an eight foot pale monster made up of gangly pale blue limbs, wide set teeth, a face with no eyes, and it’s currently crawling towards you now on all fours instead of just walk-“Celeste!” Emeric called from somewhere, my body wanting to follow him although I was frozen in what, shock? Fear? Complete nothingness?In an instant, I am grabbed and pulled into a separate corridor; the air from my lungs escaping and not seeming to find any way back to me as soon as a hand then covers both my lips stopping any and all forms of sound. Silent.Silent.Sil-A scream like screech sounded immediately from somewhere to the East of us, echoing down the halls and vibrating the stoney ground beneath us, Emeric tightened the grasp he had on my lips, not shutting down the airflow but making sure I stayed silent; maybe he just needed a reminder that their was indeed an

    “Wait,” Emeric said as I decided to start making my way down the stairs, hoping not to fall and break my ass or worse, and I turned to face him. Emeric held out some type and a bandage, I saw he had already taken care of his own palm. “You need to wrap that, no need in drawing in things we don’t want,” “Oh,” Stepping back up the few stairs and finally meeting his presence, I held out my palm and let him do his thing; his words echoed into my head. Things.Not people or monsters or demons, but things.What the hell was I getting myself and my unborn baby into?It was odd to think like that, odd to realize I was putting my baby -our baby- in danger but I had to do this. I had to save my love, my father to my baby, my mate. I didn’t know what kind of danger he was in but there was something; something was a matter. Just didn’t know what. Emeric said that he wished to go down the stairs first, unsure of what would be awaiting us at the bottom of them and I agreed. I wanted to protect

    I tried to peel open my eyes but the constant hammer pounding the insides of my brain forced them to stay shut, some type of dried liquid - not sure if it’s blood or snot or mud - caked my face and I twitched my finger every now and then to make sure I was alive.Heat and coldness somehow both took over my body, sending me into some sort of shock and I felt so goddamn helpless.Celeste, I don’t want to die after all…Celeste’s POV“Are you okay lately?” Ostana asked as she came up to my side, Vera just glancing around at the world, the blue of her baby eyes hadn't worn off just yet and her skin seemed to become more golden everyday. I pulled my blonde hair into a high pony, looking at the mirror, and grabbed some lotion before rubbing it onto my pregnancy belly. The stretch marks made their appearance but they weren’t horrible; they just made me want to itch all the time. With a sigh, I responded. “I don’t know… Not hearing from Rhys has really worried me, I’ve written him two more

    Emeric, with no surprise, rummaged through my cabinets with ease and decided that some lunchable that Emrys probably bought some time ago and sat down at the table; Ostana, who told me that she’d kill me if I didn’t let her in on this, sat not far from him and glared with spite.“Can you not eat all the fucking time?” She sneered, apparently she didn’t like him either. Emeric laughed and shoved a piece of pepperoni in his mouth. “You have fire, I like it,” With a spark in his eye, he then looked towards me. “Or should I be saying that to you?”Before I could conjure up some smart ass response, Cassandra took hold and did something we rarely did and used her Luna presence to growl lowly; even though Emeric was strong in whatever position he held, I was still a Luna and he was still below me. Immediately I felt Cassandra take control over half my body, I could feel the strength in half my body increase tenfold and I knew my other eye was gold with her presence. Talons grew out of my o
