CHAPTER TEN: FEAR

CELESTE'S POV

“Why don't you just let this go Celeste?” Mrs Montclair asked, earning a glare from me. How could she ask something so stupid. There was absolutely no way I was going to let it go.

I spent days in the dungeon all because of that stupid rogue. “Do you want that thing to be your Luna instead?” I snarled.

She shook her head and sighed. “I don't, no one in the pack wants that. But the Alpha is hell bent on keeping her here and we have to obey him.”

“The Alpha is under her spell, he can't make important decisions like this on his own. We have to help him,” I whispered, taking her hand into mine. “Imagine what it will be like when everyone thanks and praises you for saving their alpha and pack from disaster.”

She looked at me unsure, I offered her a smile and lightly nodded.

“I am afraid of her. Yesterday she had a fight with the Alpha.” She bit her lip.

“That disrespectful, mannerless piece of trash,” I cussed. I didn't understand why Zephyr was taking all this disrespect and shit from that little rogue. She wasn't even that pretty. “Did you hear what they were arguing about?” I asked curiously.

“I didn't hear everything but I heard her saying something about a blood memory.” She touched the tip of her fingernails.

“B-blood memory?” I asked.

She nodded her head. “She was wiggling her fingers in front of him. Apparently she can access someone's memories by touching their blood.”

“She can do what?” I asked, not believing my ears.

This can't be, that day…she had some of my blood on her hand. She couldn't have seen it right.

“She someone's memories by coming in contact with their blood. I know right I was shocked too. What if I happen to cut myself and she sees my memories,” she panicked. “Then she would tell the Alpha that I was the one who had been telling you all the things happening around him.” She got off her chair and began pacing around.

“If he finds out, he will kill me and kick my family out of the pack,” she rumbled, shaking her head. “I can't do this anymore.”

“Stella,” I called but she kept pacing up and down. “Stella!” I yelled, grabbing her shoulders. “ Stop it. Nothing is going to happen okay. She is not going to find out anything. Nothing at all.”

She shook her head moving away from me. “Should I just confess? Yeah, yes I should.”

I grabbed the front of her dress. “STELLA I SWEAR IF YOU SO MUCH AS THINK OF OPENING YOUR MOUTH I WILL KILL YOU.”

“Celeste please,” She pleaded, tears filling her eyes. “I am really scared. What if she…”

“She won't,okay.” I sighed, running a hand through my hair.

This was getting out of hand. Mrs Montclair had always been my spy in Zephyr's house. She told me every single thing he did when he was home. I couldn't let her back out now.

I was already worried about the dirty rogue knowing my secret and now I had to deal with this old hag’s drama.

“Mrs Montclair,” I whispered. “We will be okay, nothing is going to happen so don't worry. All we need to do is help the Alpha come back to his senses and for that to happen you need to keep reporting to me.”

“I really hope you are right Celeste. I don't want to face the Alpha's wreath.” She whispered, wiping her tears.

“You won't,” I promised. “Once I become the luna i will make sure you get rewarded for your help.” I smiled at her.

“Okay, I will give it a try. I just hope that she will not find out anything.” She said.

“She won't, okay. Now wash your face and go home.” She nodded and headed to the bathroom. After promising not to tell anyone about our meetings, she left.

As soon as the door was closed, I began pacing up and down trying to think of ways to get rid of Morrigan. I didn't know how her powers worked and how much she had seen but she probably knew, that's why she looked at me with so much shock.

I couldn't let her tell anyone about this. I needed to get rid of her, but how could I do that without risking my life? I couldn't use rogues to kill her because of the border patrols.

I closed my eyes trying to think of what I could do, I couldn't poison her because I didn't have access to her food.

I grabbed my hair and gave a light tug. “Malakai!” I whispered.

Malakai was going to be the answer to all my problems. All I needed to do was find the perfect time to talk to him.
