Once A Luna, Now A Stealer? 146. Punish
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

ValenciaMy eyes widen upon hearing that. I never thought Theon would agree to that. Elias was the only remaining family he had, if I were him, I would never do that.But Theon isn't me. He is the Alpha King, and he is far nobler than I ever will be. He would put his brother's needs before himself when it matters the most, regardless of how painful it is.My love for him soars in my chest. A good man like Theon should never be corrupted by the likes of the stealer. This is why I have to save him from Callista. Suddenly, I hear Theon say, "I have to go now. I will come to visit you next morning. Try to get some sleep, please.""I will," Elias promises. "And thank you, Theon." Upon hearing that, I leave the tower so they wouldn't catch me spying on them.As soon as I enter my room and throw away the guard costume I had stolen, a knock comes on my door."Valencia," Theon's voice comes. "Can we talk? I have something important to tell you." I change my voice to sound less breathy from

Callista.Some days after my big sword-fighting drama with Valencia, and the subsequent end of our tentative friendship, one morning, I get an email.After Valencia told Theon that the friendship between me and her was over, due to the fact that she was still in love with Theon and I was his true mate, I cried. I don't have a reason to lie about this, I brawled my eyes out. I really thought Valencia was a good friend so when she basically told me to go get screwed, it hurt.But I didn’t have the luxury of wallowing. I had online classes to attend, and during the one I had right after the debacle, my teacher told us that finals were coming up.That meant I had to push every sorrow to the very rear of my mind and start studying the hell off.Nothing can distract you from ex-friends than the looming threat of exams.So, I cooped myself inside my room, barred Theon from entering for an undetermined time for the foreseeable future, towed my ass to the study desk, and got into studying.I w

Callista.I knock on the thick oak door with much more finesse than I did with Theon's this morning and wait until I hear footsteps coming from the other side of the door. "Coming!" A sweet feminine voice comes from the other side of the door, accompanied by the giggle of a small child. Kellin's mate Gemini opens the door with her baby girl perched on her hip and smiles upon seeing me."Oh, hello, Callista!" she greets."Hey," I smile at her."Hewwo, Ca-ww-is-tah!" Her daughter, Sadie squeals imitating her mother, and my heart melts at her cuteness."Hi, Sadie!" I extend my hand towards her, and she takes it in an enthusiastic manner, pumping two of my fingers in her tiny fist. It’s the most adorable thing ever, because her lips purse all serious-like, and she looks so proud of herself when she lets my hand go. "Nice to meet you again!""Too!" She says, probably meaning 'Nice to meet you too!’ I enjoyed these little interactions with Sadie as well as her little brother, Simon, who w

Theon."Goddess," I exclaim, not taking my eyes off her for a single second. I literally cannot look away from Callista.She is dressed in a plum purple-colored, sleeveless dress that shows off her pale, shapely arms and perfect shoulders. The dress is held by her raised cleavage which squints tantalizingly over the shimmery fabric, cinched at her slim waist with a simple strap of fabric, and the bottom skirt is shorter on the front while being longer in the back, nearly touching her ankle. There is a layer of gossamer purple fabric over the skirt, and it adds a voluptuous effect. She wears a single gold chain on her long neck, along with the crystal ring she always wears. Her hair is tied in an elaborate bun on the top of her head, but her bangs fall framing her face, lightly curved. On her ears are dangling earrings, and thin chains of gold that fall from her earlobes like mini waterfalls. Her feet are encased in glass-like high-heeled shoes. The makeup on her face accentuates the

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
