View MoreI looked at Riley in surprise, things had started to get scary in familiar territory and I wasn't feeling really safe anymore.I remembered what Riley told me just this morning about the weird things going on in the pack.“We just want to see Alpha Christian, there's no need to throw names at her,” Riley said to the guard.She was very irritated at the behavior but was restraining herself, so was I to be very honest.A lot had changed since we had gotten captured by Derek and his men. The time away had caused the pack’s mentality to change.Most of them at least, I hoped that a few still had their common sense amongst them.“This is absurd. I'm a proud member of this pack!” I exclaimed in defiance when he stubbornly stood in our way.He scoffed, “You're really testing my patience right now, do as I say and turn around before I do something nasty” he growled.I flinched back in disgust, his face had turned ugly. Any single ounce of patience I had left evaporated at the sight of it.“We
“What?” I all but yelled at her. Several people turned to look at me with judgement on their faces but I didn't really care.Riley tried to shush me but I wasn't having it right now.“Please tell me you're joking” I said pleadingly.Even as I said it, I knew it wasn't a joke. This was really happening before my very eyes.“I'm not joking. I don't know what the reason is but he refused to tell anyone you're his mate” she said, whispering the last part.I stayed silent, I knew exactly why he hadn't said anything to anyone. But now it was putting us into trouble.“Why would they give him that kind of ultimatum though? What is going on?” I asked incredulously.I shook my head wildly looking from left to right. Something wasn't right. First they made him a rogue, now he's back they're making him be with someone that is not his mate.“They said…. And it's very ridiculous…if he hasn't found a mate, he has to choose someone and make them Luna” she said exasperated.I was stunned, I tried to t
“No, that's nonsense!” I said, my eyes flashing with anger.What in the hell did she mean by punishing? And I wasn't born from a human. This was definitely nonsense.“They're wrong” I shouted, turning back to walk back towards my house.I wasn't hearing any of this nonsense anymore, but she stopped me.“Hey! Don't just storm out, I– I am just trying to help you, don't go” she said forcing me to halt in my tracks.I sighed heavily, she was right. I didn't mean to be rude to her, it just came out of nowhere.It hurt me deeply to hear that about my dad. They were wrong. They had to be wrong. If they were right then why wouldn't he tell me?“Look” she said, trying to steer me to a tree where we could sit for a while.“We can't know for sure if these rumors are true or false,” she said, shaking her head at me.“I'm sorry I shouted at you” I said solemnly, looking down at my feet.I heard her chuckling, but she didn't say anything immediately.“Why don't you just ask him? It's time you knew
My father had tried to distract me throughout our meal, bringing up conversation after conversation of what happened during the time we were hiding.I had entertained him up until I noticed he was finding it hard to breathe as he talked. This bothered me a lot. I wanted to know how serious his health issues are.I wanted to know why he was also keeping it from me, it's not like I wouldn't find out eventually.I didn't know how to go about the conversation and it was beginning to feel like a burden on my chest.“Dad,” I said suddenly, cutting him off as he spoke.He looked at me sharply, probably noticing the change in my countenance.“Are you going to tell me what's wrong with me? Do I have to beg? Tell me, please. I'm sure I can help” I said pleadingly.He looked at me with eyes filled with sorrow. His lips quivering a bit as he continued staring at me.But just like that the look was gone and he was back to his cheery self.“You don't worry about this old man. I will be good before
I ran towards him hurriedly, almost tripping on myself in the process.The minute I came in contact with him I felt tears that had been bottled up for the longest time spill out immediately.I missed him so much, just the thought that I wasn't going to be stuck in some house or cellar for the longest time gave me cause to squeeze him even more.“Oh dad” I said, crying on his shoulder like a pup that had been ripped from his mother's breasts.“My baby. Oh Celeste. I thought I had lost you forever” he said, gently patting my back over and over again.Fresh tears threatened to pour out at the sound of that but I maintained my cool. Coughing, I let go of him slightly and just looked at him.He seemed to have aged a lot since the last time I saw him. His weight had greatly reduced and he had worry lines on his face.I frowned, taking in his composure and stance to detect any signs of illness or maybe it was just fatigued.“Dad?...” I began to say but he waved me off and just took my hand.
I had mixed feelings about leaving the lake house. I was going to miss it dearly.I thought about asking Christian if we would be able to come back here once we were settled but I changed my mind.Assuming we would be together when all was said and done was scary. I hadn't thought that far.As for Riley, I know she was eavesdropping on our conversation yesterday and I also knew that she had a lot to say.But for some reason she was awfully quiet. It was both endearing and scary at the same time.On one hand I knew she just wanted me to think things through but on the other, she would've been buggering me to spill by now.I chalked it up to the fact that we were going back home and she was probably processing now.As for Christian, the last time we spoke about him leaving the pack, he said he was a rogue.Would things still be the same now that he was going back. I had this ever present feeling at the back of my mind.I didn't know what to make of it and that scared me a little. I just
We jumped apart at the sound of the knock at the door.I coughed into my elbow and she awkwardly went to the door.Reluctantly, she opened the door to answer whoever was there.With surprise on her face, she stepped to let the person in.Lo and behold, it was the same person we had been talking about that stepped into the room.Immediately I saw him I froze up like a deer caught in headlights.What was he doing in my room at this very moment? Wait! Has he been standing at the other side of the door listening in to our conversations all this time?Oh my days! I was as red as a cherry right now. This is so embarrassing. Okay, the best thing I could do for both of us was to pretend like I don't know what he's talking about.If he brings it up, I hope he doesn't bring it up.“Um, hi– hello. How can I–we help you?” I asked, behind him I saw Riley facepalming at my obvious discomfort.Yeah I was sweating buckets and I didn't know how to make it stop.“I just came to check up on you. So how
I was trying my possible best to not laugh at Riley's reaction. I mean she basically bugged me to tell her the reason and when I did, this was her reaction?She was currently looking at me like I had grown two heads, and I was curious to see if her eyes would stay in their sockets after all.She was shocked and so was I. But I had had enough time to process everything and honestly I had everything under wraps.The same could not be said for Riley, but I was glad. Oh I was feeling exulted. I had gotten everything off my chest, well not everything but she didn't have to know that.For the most part she knew all the details and now I could probably wrap my head around the whole thing.“How–are you sure he wanted to mark you?” She whispered fearfully.I nodded frantically and sat down next to her sighing heavily.“I cannot believe it” she said, with a far away look on her face.“Yeah, I felt his teeth grazing me over and over again like he was tasting me first, you know?” I said enthusias
“Ahhhhh”That was the sound of me attacking my best friend so that she would not embarrass more than she already had.“Celeste get off of me!” She said trying and succeeding to get me off her body.“I will if you would just stop walking towards the door and come with me” I hissed sharply.I dusted the non-existent stint from her clothes and proceeded to ignore me and continue her walk towards his office.“Why are you doing this??” I exclaimed, frustrated and out of breath.“You're keeping things from me and truthfully it sucks. But I will get answers even if it means I'll have to find them from someone else” she gestured towards the door we were currently headed to.“No– you– just stop, okay I told you I was being honest” I said, panicking at this point.Curse my small legs, I couldn't keep up with her as she was walking really fast at this point.“No no, I believe you. I just need extra information from the last person that saw you yesterday” she pointedly.Okay she was just pushing
"Come on, we're going to be late!" I screamed excitedly as I struggled to put on my shoes.I was excited about the party we had planned for so long!"I'm going to leave you, Riley!" I said scowling dramatically.I bite my lip as I look at my reflection in the mirror.I look so good…tonight is going to be so fun and memorable.As Riley made her way down the staircase, a string of expletives flowed out from her lips, leaving me intrigued about her current state of mind."Ugh, oh my gosh" Riley exclaimed as she continued down the stairs toward meThe tone of her voice and the words she used conveyed a sense of frustration, anger, or perhaps disappointment. It was clear that something was bothering her, and I couldn't help but wonder what it was. "What's wrong?" I asked a little skeptical about the interaction.What is going on with her now?As she walked away, a sense of helplessness washed over me. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was bothering her deeply, but I didn't k...
