Sebastian POVI'm unsure what to say. It's a fantastic gift that she has. Many will see it as a blessing, but I would say it's a curse. Imagine seeing something bad and knowing you can't or at least shouldn't do anything to fix it.Then what? How would she feel about it, having to know she knew something terrible would happen, but she pretended like she had no knowledge?"Nischola, why is she ill?" Celine looks at me in question, and I know what she means."We don't know. We tried doctors, and they failed to find a cause or a cure. We tried a witch, same thing. A warlock, however, said she was cursed."She stares at me in shock. I've tried everything; we've tried everything, and all the warlock could tell us was that the answer is with the werewolves and to search wider.If Celine is the answer, what does that mean anyway? She does not know anything, so how the hell can she possibly help us?"Who would curse her? Why would they? She's pregnant." She looks at me, waiting."We were told
CelineAfter getting ready, I walked down with Sebastian. It felt weird sleeping in a bed last night, inside somewhere warm. I'm used to the hard flooring of the cells with a bit of straw.Last night was unusual. There was always constant noise in the cells. The prisoners constantly shouted and screamed, keeping me awake. Then, I had to be up early to cook for everyone else.Not this morning. I've slept in. Which isn't something I'm used to. As we get downstairs, the Pack kitchen is full. Sebastian wastes no time guiding me to the table.We sit, and I glance around, unsure of what to eat. I only ever had stew and bread. Sebastian must sense my unease as he grabs a plate and puts food on it before placing it in front of me."Eat, little one," he whispers, and I nod. Sitting, I eat, and my eye catches Joseph. He's staring at his plate and appears to be deep in thought.I can see the worry in his eyes. However, is that for Nischola? It can't be easy for him, leaving his mate behind and h
Sebastian.After the punishments were carried out that day, I gathered everyone from within the pack into the grounds.Many were speculating over who would be in charge when we left."Alpha Ryan," I call out, watching as he quickly stands. "If you're happy to, this is your pack now. You're the alpha. These here follow your orders," I say and watch as he nods."Of course, Your Majesty, I agree," He bows slightly, and I nod."We will be leaving tomorrow. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to come to me and ask," I say before standing and leading Celine inside.As we reach the stairs, her hand goes out to stop me. I watch as she turns and looks towards Joseph."If you think I can help, I will try. I'm not sure what I can do or if I can." Her words shock me. Joseph's eyes widen."Thank you!" He rushes over and hugs her. I'm not pleased about it, but it's her choice. She should focus on discovering who she is and what she needs to do.Joseph steps back, and I see hope in his eyes fo
CelineAfter Sebastian left, I considered what he spoke of and knew he was right. I've not even tried to work out who I am. Closing my eyes, I try to focus on my wolf.I had shifted without any knowledge or warning. It just happened. Within a few seconds, I feel my wolf, but there's so much more there that I can feel but don't understand.Celine, I'm Luperca.The words make me look around briefly before I realise it's my wolf. I stop and stare in the mirror, seeing my eyes shifting colours."You're my wolf?" I ask although it's obvious it is my wolf. Who else would be in my mind speaking to me?I am Celine; I'm all sides of you. For my entire life, I fought to overcome drugs and magic."Thank you for protecting me." I just realised I would have died without my wolf, but Luperca took control.You're welcome. I will always be here.The words have me smiling. Walking to the bed, I lie down. "How do I shift?" I ask as that is something I don't know.Focus on me and tell me you want me to h
CelineI stay in his arms for a short while before I feel his hands cup my face. His forehead rests against mine, and I hmm in approval. My body right now feels like nothing. It's as if it doesn't exist.He moves and presses his lips against mine gently. Moaning, I kiss him back; his mouth opens slightly and gives access to my tongue. As my tongue slides into his mouth, his tongue moves and strokes along mine.Groaning, I push myself closer to him. He pulls back, and I watch him shift back. I pout slightly at him, and he chuckles. Grasping my chin, his fingers dig into the skin."You look exhausted." His words have me laughing. "I gave Helios too much power; that wasn't meant to happen. Not yet, not this quickly," he says apologetically."I was fine with it, Sebastian. Nothing bad happened," I mumble and feel his fingers dig deeper into my jaw."Which I'm shocked by, you didn't freak out. You let all that happen and don't feel the need to run," his words have me nodding."I wasn't exp
CelineI stay kneeling above him. My fingers walk up his chest and stop at a button before unfastening it. His hands capture mine, and he chuckles."Celine, we're in the car," his words growled into my ear, and I pushed my body closer to him. Wanting him even more. Before, sex was a chore, something I had.It is amazing with Sebastian. I find it pleasurable and crave more of it. Then again, I always enjoyed it with Dolton as well. I knew I was safe with him, though."Please," I bite against my lip before kissing him. His hands release mine, and I work to unfasten his shirt. The feel of his hands rubbing along my body has me shaking as he lifts the dress from me and throws it.Our mouths connect, and I lose my breath against him as his kiss becomes more aggressive. His tongue strokes into my mouth, and I cry out slightly, feeling us both becoming entirely naked."Shift," I whisper, and he pulls back to stare at me."Little one," his words are soft, and I frown.Something about that mom
SebastianIt has taken us a few days to travel to the other pack. It's along the way, so I'm more than happy to call in and find out where their daughter has gone. It seems strange that Alpha Dale was allowed to stay here. That is one question I have. It's not often that packs allow other alpha's to remain without a reason."Alpha Dale was here, correct?" I look at Alpha Ian, and he nods. His Luna sits by his side, clearly distressed by their daughter's disappearance."Yes, he said his Luna was wounded and asked to stay here. He offered money for accommodation."That explains why he let him in then. The pack is clearly small and doesn't have enough money for basic things. How long has this pack been living with so little?"You needed money?" Celine asks, and Alpha Ian nods."We're not a big pack; we grow most of our own food, but there's not much close by that can help us earn money," Alpha Ian says. These words have me wondering now why he isn't getting help."I thought the king was
SebastianIt took hours for Alpha Ian to give us all the information he has that isn't on paper. Alpha Dale stayed here for two nights—well, one, as he disappeared before sunrise on the second night.Celine has listened and seems to be taking everything in right now. I doubt she will be able to unearth any proof that the king is linked, especially if the pack here has been trying for years.I watch as everyone begins to walk out, and I raise my hand. "Max, I need you to stay here, please." He spoke to Alpha Dale more, so I need answers from him right now, as he likely knows something.He sits back down, and I watch the others leave. Joseph seems on edge, maybe because he's been away from Nischola for so long."Did Alpha Dale mention Daisy to you?" Celine asks, and I look at her. She's taking over, which makes me want to smile."Nothing, not once did he mention her," Beta Max sighs. "I swear, I didn't know he never told me his plan. I know people think I knew because I spent a lot of t
