Once A Luna, Now A Stealer? 142. Bashful
Theon.My heart races in my chest as I guide Callista to my room. My room is just two doors away from my office, so it doesn't take long. We sneak in, glancing around to see if there was anyone watching us."No one's there," Callista whispers. "It's near lights out time, so all the servants are in their quarters.""Better be safe," I reply. "I don't want anyone to know it just yet.""Me too," Callista agrees.As soon as I close the door behind me, Callista slams me into the door. I'm a little surprised by her eagerness, although I wonder why I am. Callista is confident in almost all aspects of her life, so why shouldn't she be the same with sex?Her energy excites me in return, and I feel myself harden in my pants. I twirl us around and push her against the door, kissing a line down her neck to the collarbone. Kissing her neck is addictive, as she reacts deliciously to every sensation. I can't get enough of the sounds she makes.I grind my pelvis on her thigh, letting her feel the har

Callista.I wake up in my own bed in the morning, and for a brief second, I wonder how I ended up here. But then I remember how I was afraid that someone would catch me and Theon in bed together, and how I'd snuck out of his room in the middle of the night, dressed in my wrinkled clothes. The very memory of the last night makes me blush and grin like an idiot. It had been so amazing.I still can't believe it happened, that Theon and I finally made love.I know that it had only been a few months since we even met, but werewolf relationships progressed much faster than humans. Most of the time, those who found that were mates carried on with mating just days after.Theon and I haven’t mated yet because it still wasn't the right time for us. I know this, and so does he, and we were fine with waiting. We still had a lot of problems, and mating with each other was the last thing we ought to do right now. Honestly, sleeping together was also the last thing we should be doing.But last nigh

Callista.I can't believe what I'm hearing."Really?" I ask, confused.I don't think I'm as good as she is as a fighter yet. Maybe her tiredness was making her see things that aren't necessarily true. Also, this whole thing just lands out of nowhere.Just yesterday she told me that I need to adjust my form a bit more because I was a little wobbly on my right leg still."Because I don't feel like I'm that good yet.""Trust me, you are," Valencia replies in an offhanded way. "Besides, you must have more important things to do than waste the morning with me. I mean, you should be close to finishing with your GED now. You should pay more attention to those."I notice that her voice becomes sharper as she spits out the last part, and the expression on her face is strange. It looks almost like she is angry about something.Just as I open my mouth to ask Valencia what was really troubling her, Theon walks up to us, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his overcoat."I heard some of your dis

Theon.Barely concealing my mounting anger, I follow Valencia.I didn't know why she was so snappish at Callista before, but I'd chalked that up to her having her own issues to deal with. Perhaps she got a troubling message from her pack. Perhaps her father was calling her back to the Galdine pack to carry on with her duties.The only reason I asked for a sparring session was to show her that she had a lot to teach Callista still. Callista absolutely obliterating her in the duel was something I did not expect. I knew Callista had a natural talent for swordsmanship, but the way she moved today was similar to that of a pro. She defeated Valencia in record time, and she did that while using a real sword for the first time. That was almost unheard of, and I still wonder how she did that without even injuring herself.I saw the way Valencia fought with Callista, and I noticed how towards the end Valencia aimed at her gut.I watched with fear as the sharp sword tip neared my mate's abdomen

TheonRuelle's same exact words come into my mind as Valencia says that. Hell, even my own does, accompanied by a lot of shame and self-loathing. I feel my self-control waning.I already let one woman talk to my mate like that, and I would be damned if I let another degrade Callista in the same way.Time to put a stop to this before it goes too far."Okay, this has gone far enough!" I snap, bristling. "First, remember who you're talking to, Valencia. I am the Alpha of the Rexellen pack, the Alpha King, and you are a guest here. Callista is one of my pack mates, whether you like it or not. So, talk to her with respect.""I-"I raise my hand in a ‘shut the hell up now’ gesture and she does, pursing her lips. "Secondly, I will do whatever the hell I want with whoever the hell I want. My mate is dead, so I'm not cheating on anyone. I like Callista, and Callista likes me. What we do with each other is nobody's business but ours.""But what about me?!" she pleads, tears shining in her eyes

TheonA knock comes on my office door near the evening, and Kellin's voice follows. "Alpha, may I come in? I’ve received some news.""Yeah," offhandedly, I say, scratching at my head and my eyes stay glued to the documents in front of me.I am reviewing some project reports regarding a new community center we wish to build in the Rexellen pack. So far, it's coming along relatively smoothly, but that doesn't mean there weren't any hiccups. The door opens and Kellin enters."How's the project going so far?"I shrug. "Smoothly, I suppose. They've passed the plans for the tennis courts, and they seem to be okay so far. I have to pass it through a third-party architectural committee, though. What news do you have to say?""Just that Elias is lucid again," Kellin announces, and I sit up straight, feeling happiness blossom from within my chest. My brother was back!"How is he?" I ask, getting up from the chair. "How are his wounds?"Elias had been too far gone into his bloodlust in the last

TheonI tell Elias everything that happened since the last time he was out of his episode. I tell him about Callista running away, the problem with the Brekett pack, the Chamber of Despair, the Mental violation, the Witches Guild, and everything else. I even tell him about the accidents that have happened since Callista's return to the Rexellen pack.At the end of my rant-like narration, Elias gapes at me."Oh, wow," he says. "That sounds like a fever dream. An awful fever dream in which you were acting with only half a brain cell rattling around in that skull of yours-which we are going to have a long talk about- but a fever dream nonetheless.""Yet it all happened," I sigh. "And it's still happening. I don't know the identity of the person who is attacking Callista. We just accepted each other after she forgave me and now this happens.""Perhaps you should publicly start looking for the culprit," Elias suggests. "It will weed them out faster.""But I don't know who else to trust tha

ValenciaI eavesdrop on the conversation between Elias and Theon, disguised as a guard. No one suspected me when I casually walked up the tower with a mask and a uniform on. The guard who was already stationed there was nodding off, and upon seeing me he just gave a nod and went back to his sleep. I nodded back and walked up to the door, standing beside it.I can hear everything clearly from here.I don't know what made me follow Theon up the tower as soon as I saw him. Perhaps I wanted to see how Elias was. Regardless of what Theon thought, I didn't want to kill Elias for my own personal gain. I tried to do that because of kindness. Theon told me how Elias had asked him to kill the wolf before he went rogue, and Theon confessed to me that even though he knew it was his duty as his Alpha to grant him his wish he couldn't do it. The request devastated Theon, and I didn't want to see him like that.I tried to kill Elias to take the decision off his hands. I tried to kill Elias to spare

Callista“So, you wanted me dead from the start, huh?” I say, not even looking at the ceiling before. “Should've known.”I'm lying on the bed on my stomach, my face half-buried in the pillow. I've been lying in the same position for a while, ever since Alpha Edwin Teller left my room after threatening my life as well as Theon’s life.Moments ago, my only wish was for Theon to find me, but now, knowing what Edwin was planning I pray that Theon does not fall into his trap. But that's just wishful thinking. I know that Theon has already started his search for me. Unless he'd found my ring and somehow tracked it to me. I don't even know if it's possible, but a girl can hope, right? Especially when she was kidnapped by supernatural creatures who eventually wanted her dead.I don't know if I'm actually sad or depressed about this new development. I feel conflicted. My emotions are all over the place. This isn't the first time my life has been threatened. Given how my life has been going,

TheonI entered the room that contained Kellin, Haden, Alan, and Terrel, all sitting and muttering at one another. As soon as I entered the room they died down and all of them stared at me eagerly.“So, Master Tsertinand found where Callista is,” I got straight to the point. “And guess what, she's being held by the bears from the Teller pack along with the devil, and the two of them seem to be allied.”My colleagues gape at me, and I don't blame them for being surprised at the news. No one saw this one coming.“How?” asks Haden, his voice high-pitched. “Why?!”“I don't know, but that's the situation,” I look at each of them. “So, I'm going to go rescue her.”“Alone?” Kellin questions but I shake my head.“The witches would join me. I don't want to risk any of you, especially against the Teller pack and the devil,” I say. “We need to have a small group because we have to be shielded from the devil. We got a plan that has the potential to work.”“You're going there alone?” Haden exclaim

Theon“She's with the bears? The Brekett pack has her?” I utter, disbelief ringing in my tone. “How...?”“I think this devil fellow allied with the bears,” Master Tsertinand replies, scratching his chin thoughtfully. “The other man who I saw was someone dressed in black with red eyes standing next to Callista, who pretty much looked like what a devil would. The other man was blonde and big, not unlike me. Callista screamed the name Edwin at him, and when I told the Headmistress she clarified who he was.”“But why?” I question, trying to wrap my head around it. “Why are they allied?”“Alpha, that should not be your concern right now,” Kiran says. “We should move out immediately to find Callista! We've got a location already, what are we waiting for?”“But what if we're walking into a trap?” Ophelia protests. “Theon is right to ask questions regarding the presence of the werebears. Why have they allied with Xaveraq?”“Revenge, probably,” the Headmistress chimes in, taking a seat on a pl

Callista“You're...you're that werebear!” I stammer as I stare at the blond man with cold eyes whose face is more than familiar in my nightmares.I remember him from that fateful night when he carried me through a forest under the light of the full moon only to lay me on a stone slab that was meant to be my deathbed. I remember him standing next to his Alpha in his office room as they watched me squirm on a chair, bound to it as I gave them a fake name and lied about my identity. I remember him carrying me into a room that was so full of darkness that it shattered my mind. I don't remember his surname; it has been purged away with the darkness that the Chamber of Despair instilled in my mind. I don't even remember his Alpha's name. But I do remember how cruel they were to me.“And you're actually a werewolf whose name isn't ‘Sharon’,” Edwin snaps taking a step toward me. I take a couple of steps back and feel the bedframe hit the back of my legs. Crap, I'm trapped here with a bear

TheonWe literally raced to the Rexellen pack town, breaking dozens of road laws in the process, almost summoning the human police and nearly running off a ditch more than three times. But none of that really matters to me or Terrel because the witches have found where Callista is!We're still on the road, driving as fast as we can when Haden calls me from the back of the truck fleet.“What the actual fuck are you doing? Did Terrel pass out with his foot on the pedal or something?!” Haden screams through the phone, “You're going two hundred miles per hour, you lunatic!”“The witches called,” I answer his shrieking/ “They'd found her!”“Callista?”“Yeah, they've found where Callista is!” “Okay, that’s good news. That’s the best news, but Theon, slow down before you kill yourself, you moron, you're no good for her if you're dead! We can't even catch up with you and I will not be bailing you out of a human police station!” With that, he ends the phone call, and Terrel slows the truck do

CallistaWho the hell was the woman in my dreams? She's familiar to me, but I've never seen her before. Yet I feel like I should know her. I drag my hand down my face with a groan. Goddess, why was this happening to me? Seriously, wasn't one problem at a time enough? I already got that crazy devil Xaveraq to deal with, I don't have time for oddly specific mystery women talking to me in my dreams!I get off the bed and stretch. Goddess, I need to use the toilet so bad. But this damn chain is too short for me to even reach the door that leads to the bathroom.“Xaveraq, you bastard!” I shout out crankily. “I need to use the freaking bathroom! But how am I supposed to use the freaking bathroom when I can't even reach it?!”No answer comes from the ceiling, and that pisses me up more.“Xaveraq!” I yell. “Now you choose to go MIA. Of all the fucking time-”“Geez, I'm here, stop yelling,” Xaveraq's voice comes, and I nearly sigh in relief. “What did I tell you about blood pressure before? I

Theon“This is so confusing,” I say, looking between the women. “Why would you lie about her origins? Why did you say she was found in a forest when she wasn’t?”“Because the truth was hard to tell,” Maddy reveals. “Especially to her family, because the way we acquired Callista wasn’t exactly legal.”We were not expecting that kind of a bombshell to be dropped on us.“I think you better start from the beginning,” Haden chimes when I continue having a mini meltdown.“One of our wolves went into the human city for a private matter,” Maddy explains, pulling out a file from the cabinet. “While she was there, she felt the scent of a werewolf within all the humans. At first, she was afraid it was a criminal because it's the criminals and exiles who normally tend to live with humans, but when she traced the scent, it ended up in a human foster home. There, she found a little girl who wasn't older than nine months, who smelled like a werewolf.”“Because it's not safe for wolves to be raised b

TheonI'm flabbergasted by this sudden change of subjects. I take a few moments to collect myself before answering his bizarre question. “I don't know anything, and neither does Callista,” I say. “Why are you asking about them all of a sudden?”Haden tilts his head. “Okay, so I’ve been thinking and I’m well aware that this is a reach, but what if her parents have something to do with her disappearance?”“Huh?” I question, not completely understanding what he's saying. “Look, I can't quite articulate it. It's just a random thought but we know nothing about her parents, and the Leighwen-sorry, Kennedy pack supposedly found her in a forest. And then she turns out to be the stealer, someone from whom the devil wants something from. Doesn't it all sound fishy to you?” he asks. “I just wonder if whatever this is has something to do with her birth family.”I think his words through carefully. Often, children get their special abilities from their parents in the supernatural world. If your

TheonAs soon as I step down from the pedestal, the members of the pack swarm their new Alpha, shouting their questions at him. I let them have their discussions and step away from the crowd. My work here is done, and I don't want to wait a second longer than necessary. The people give me a wide berth as I walk away, still looking at me with fear. They must see me as a ruthless man now, someone who lives up to the rumors about him, despite how I actually showed Leighwen more kindness than he deserved. Oh, well, I could live with that. But before I can escape the town square, I hear a loathsome but familiar voice call out my name. “Theon! Theon, please wait.”I bite back a sigh of frustration and turn in the direction of the scream. Callista's mother comes running towards me, followed by Callista's father. “Yes?” I ask, my voice as calm as I can make it. “What do you want?”They look shocked as I say it as if they weren't expecting me to be like that. “We just want to check on y
