Kaiden

Sheila looked at me as I stood frozen as I realized what she was asking of me and for the first time, I really looked at her. She was completely made up, her body rubbed with glitter and her scent of exotic flowers.

Her face was stained with blush as she avoided my stare and I suddenly reminded myself that she was to be my queen. This isn't unusual.

It was a chance to finally move on.

“This is undeniably bold of you.” A ghost of a smirk appeared on my lips as I took my place on the chair, as she requested of me.

Sheila let out a soft, nervous laugh, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I just thought… since we are to be married, we should at least start getting comfortable with each other.”

Her voice was gentle, laced with an innocence that should have soothed me. It didn’t.

I leaned back in the chair, watching as she hesitated before stepping closer. Her hands trembled slightly as she reached for the ribbon at the front of her gown, her blush deepening as she worke

    CelineA knock pulled me out of my deep sleep, and I groaned as I pulled myself up from the lounging chair where I had fallen asleep while reading my novel.Who could it be? I asked myself as I got to my feet. I knew it could not be Kaiden. He stormed in whenever he pleased, like I was some property. Sometimes I wondered if that man was a King or a bull.But who could it be at this hour of the night?I held up my unrealistic romance novel as a weapon to shield me against the intruder if there was one.As if poetic declarations of love would stop an actual threat.Where were the guards when there was an actual threat? Or did the threat take down the guards too?The knock echoed through the room once more, softer this time, but it did nothing to reduce my unease.I swallowed. My fingers curled around the handle, hesitating for a beat. Then, in one swift motion, I yanked the door open.And froze.The person in front of me took a step forward, and a smile curved on his lips.“I am so glad

    CelineThe last person I hoped to see on my doorstep glared at me with hatred scorching enough to burn me into ashes. She stood heaving with so much anger, I feared her lungs were going to pack up and leave from how hard she was breathing. Her breath stank of hard liquor, and she swayed lightly from the influence of alcohol.My stomach twisted into a tight knot as I met her glare. I knew that look. I had seen it before. Right before a storm hit.“Sheila,” I breathed, my fingers tightening on the book still clutched in my hand. “What are you doing here?”Her body vibrated with rage, and her eyes glowed with something primal. A low growl left her lips, and I wrapped my robe closer to my body, protecting myself from her glare.“You,” she spat, her voice shaking. “You ruin everything.”I blinked, caught between confusion and exhaustion. “What are you…”She shoved me before I could finish. Not enough to send me stumbling, but enough to make her point.“You always win, don’t you?” Her tone

    KaidenAnger surged through my veins as I stormed through the halls, rage the only thing that kept me from feeling any other emotions Celine caused me to feel. Days after my engagement to Sheila, I had ignored her completely, hating myself for lashing out at her and being a coward, but was that any reason to beat up Celine? To almost cost me my pup?She was impulsive and immature, and I cursed myself for accepting her as my Luna. I would call off the engagement, if what was at stake wasnt greater. I had too many scandals for an Alpha King.“Sheila!” I roared as I kicked open her door.She didn't even flinch as she stood in front of her Floor length mirror, the light illuminating her expressionless face as she didn't even react to my entrance. This added to my rage as I growled, storming towards her.I grabbed her arm and turned her toward me. "What the hell did you think you were doing?" My voice thundered through the room, my grip tightening as I fought the urge to shake some sense in

    Kaiden “Kaiden please can you just listen to me? Putting your future Luna in the dungeon for hitting your ex mate and the kingdom’s most hated murderer is political suicide. I am begging you to reason with me!” Damon pounded on my door, desperation dripping from his voice as i laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling. Its either this or I rip someone apart, because someone had to pay fpr all the things that were currently going on. I refused to regret my decision about Sheila. Not only did she hit Celine, she risked killing my pup and I would never turn a blind eye to that. She had to learn that i put her on the pedestal and I could take her off at any time. “Kaiden please. If anyone should find out, we would definitely have a war! Theres no coming back from that and the patience of the people is hanging at the edge of a cliff. Doing this would just tip them over. You have to reason with me.” Silence filled the space as he waited for a reply behind the door, but I had no care in th

    KaidenHe flinched as I said those words.“How dare you say those words about my daughter?” He growled underneath his breath, taking fast strides till he was head to head with me. I was taller, so I stared at him beneath me.She’s a fool,” I repeated, stepping forward, my eyes locked on his. “She thought she could put her hands on Celine,on my pup, and walk away untouched.”His nostrils flared as his fists clenched tighter. “She was defending herself! That wench-”Before he could finish that sentence, I moved. One second I was standing by my bed, the next I had him by the throat, his back slamming against the nearest wall with a sickening thud. The walls trembled from the impact, and i knew that meant my wolf was coming to the surface. “I dare you to finish that sentence,” I snarled, my grip tightening, making him struggle for breath. “Say one more word against her, and I will personally rip your throat out.”Damon cursed behind me, but he didn’t interfere. He knew better than to get

    Celine Sitting on the hem of my bed, I twirled the hem of my nightdress in between my fingers, unable to sleep. This has been the norm lately, asi couldn't stop myself from going over everything and anything, and as a result, only being able to sleep for two hours every night. My pregnancy wasn't even making it easy. My baby constantly kicks, most of the time only singing calms my child down. I was so done with being pregnant. I reached out for a glass of water on my nightstand and drowned in one go, hoping my migraine could subside for a moment enough for me to rest but it didn't. I let out a sigh, closing my eyes and resting my head against the cool wooden headboard. I was getting used to the silence, my eyes drooping slowly as I tried to grasp the sleep that eluded me. But all that went flying out the window as a sharp knock at the door made me tense. My heart pounded as I sat up straighter, gripping the sheets instinctively. It was late. No one should be coming to see me at

    KaidenI watched as Sheila and Her parents were brought to me in my office, and i sighed inwardly, feeling a migraine start from just the thought of having to deal with them. Making a decision to keep Sheila as a queen was not one i was happy to make, but i was out of choices. Damon shot me a glance from the window still where he stood, and i didnt need to hear his voice through the mind link to remember his point from our last conversation.Giving Sheila attention would mean that she wouldn't have the need to attack Celine, if what i wanted was peaceful cohabitation between them. I wanted many things i couldn't get, so i had to focus on the one i could get. “Your highness.” Sheila’s Mother bowed at the foot of my desk. Sheila begrudgingly followed, her fists clenching with anger. Her father merely nodded, but i ignored the pointless gesture.“Rise.” i commanded Sheila and her mother, but Her mother refused to rise alongside Sheila. “No your highness. On behalf of my daughter, i be

    CelineIt’s really getting old.Those were the exact thoughts that went through my mind as I heard the three heavy knocks on my door as i was just about to sleep. I decided to ignore it, knowing that whoever was at the door didn't care about me enough t gain my attention. And the last thing I wanted was Mother blatantly telling me she wished me dead to my face.But everything and anything was bearable because i had my baby to worry about. The sign that despite all the hate in my life, im capable of growing something so pure-“Your highness! You shouldn't be here in this state. Let me help you to your room-”“No!” the voice made me gasp as I shot up on my bed. Kaiden. What’s he doing here? “I need to see her. I… I need to see Celine.” he slurred from the other side of the door.Was he drunk? I jumped down from my bed as I pulled on my robe, listening to the guards try to reason with their drunk king as I wondered why Kaiden came down here to see me.“You can talk to her tomorrow, your

    Celine“I-I am… I…” I started to say but I was at a loss for words, I quickly raised my hand to my face and wiped my tears away. “That doesn’t matter for now. What is more important is getting you out of here.”“Where are you taking me—“ she started but didn’t let her finish.I stood up straight and gestured for Kaiden to move closer to me. We helped her stand and though her limbs were weak from being unused, we could manage with it. She stumbled but Kaiden caught her and I steadied her, Kaiden looked away from us and towards the other coffin. “What about the other coffin?” He asked as he slightly nodded his head towards it. “It belongs to King Charles and he was the first alpha king. No one has dared to touch it for centuries.”My ears perked up at his words and I couldn’t help the curiosity that flickered inside me. “Let’s check it out,” I said as I looked away from him and stared back at my mother who was now standing by herself. “What if there is something important in there th

    CelineOut of nowhere two guards walked closer to us, their steps far and their boots silent against the rocky floor of the cave grounds. I was scared and I hid behind Kaiden almost immediately even though my mask was still hiding my face but my body was exposed from the torn parts of my clothes and I couldn’t risk it.The weight of everything that had been happening pressed heavily in my chest and I couldn’t wait to see all that was hidden beneath the surface of the cold and possibly cursed cave. Kaiden walked away from me and the guards stood at attention as he addressed them. I had no idea what they had discussed or the other he had given them but with a single wave of his hand, the guards bowed and turned away without a backward glance.He walked over to me and flashed me a bright smile. “I told them that I had important things to do here and being the one in charge of the key to the cages, they didn’t question it,” he said in a soft tone, slightly gesturing towards the inner are

    Celine “So you have superpowers?” He asked as he couched an eyebrow at me. I shrugged in response. “I mean… it’s not like I can fly or anything but I can tell when something is wrong. I can feel the lies in someone’s words. Turn into a ghost and walk past people without being noticed and many more. It’s not what I expected but I was more than happy to discover them.”“That’s not fair,” he said under his breath, pretending to be angry and offended. “I only just got better at swordplay and being part of a team.”I laughed, really laughed, hard and aloud. Then he grinned like he hadn’t seen me smile in forever and he was happy to see me smile again. And honestly, he hadn’t. Then, the smile slowly faded from his face and his voice became quiet once again. “Anya. What really happened between the both of you…”I nodded as I let out another sigh for the umpteenth time. “Like I told you, I have powers that I didn’t understand then and that time she put my life at risk so the soldier that

    CelineThe sun was starting to set and starts were beginning to litter across the night sky. Kaiden hadn’t let go of my hand ever since we sat down on the blanket he had placed on the rooftop. And I didn’t want him to, not yet. Maybe not ever. He kept stealing glances at me like he couldn’t belive that I was real or even alive. Maybe I couldn’t either. After everything that had happened, being here together in the quiet after the raging storm felt like I was waking up from a nightmare and walking into something that felt peaceful and out me at ease. I still couldn’t believe that not only had Kaiden sent the dress to me, he had also planned out a picnic for us to bond and talk. I owed him the truth. All of it without holding any bit of information back. “I hve to tell you everything now,” I finally spoke up, my voice that was barely above a whisper slicing through the quiet and silent night air. “No more lies or hiding.”His hand tightened around mine, squeezing it reassuringly. “I

    Kaiden“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lucan barked. I didn’t listen to him, I couldn’t hear him over my raging anger. “Let’s go,” I said as I turned to Celine, grabbing her by the wrist and pulling her towards the door. I paid no attention to him, not his bedding, not his cursing nor the malicious words he spat out as we walked out of his room. Nothing mattered to me except the woman whose hands shook in mine. Her breath was coming out in soft shallow gasps and the beautiful mask on her face was out of place with her dress torn. Seeing her so silent and shaky broke my heart into a million pieces. Lina. Celine. She was real. Alive and in my hands. And I had almost lost her again to the stupid man. I barely knew where I was headed nor did I notice the staircase that we stepped on as I led upward—past the chambers set aside for kings and alpha, the meeting halls and through a hidden door that no one else but me knew existed. It was a shortcut I had used to esc

    Celine I ran away from the ballroom breathlessly, bumping into anyone who stood my way as I turned the corridors, wanting to get as far away as Kaiden as I could. “I’ve always loved you and had hoped you were still out there…”His words echoed in my head and no matter how much I tried to stop it, it didn’t. My heart was pounding and I was terrified, Kaiden knew. He had known all along even when I had tried my best to hide it. And worse than that was the realization that the time that I thought I had was slipping out of my hands. Stop! Focus Celine, you have to get the key before we’re exposed, the tiny voice at the back of my head echoed. I stopped running, my heart was still racing as I tried to catch my breath. I had run as far away as I could and I needed to remain level headed and calm for the next step in my plan. There was absolutely no reason for me to barge into Lucan’s room out of breath and anxious, he would definitely think something was up and I couldn’t risk it. I

    KaidenCeline and I glided across the dance floor, we were in sync like we were born to do this. We fit perfectly and I couldn’t help but admire how beautiful she looked in the dress I had picked just for her. I knew she might have been wondering who had sent her the dress but I could tell realization had dawned on her and she knew who it was when she set her eyes on me. I felt a strange sense of tranquility settle over me. For the first time in months, I felt complete and I felt at peace. The music played on and we kept dancing but I didn’t want the night to end, hell I didn’t want to stop dancing with her. There was something about the way she moved and the way her finger trembled slightly in mine. It made my chest ache, not from pain but from joy and familiarity. I had underestimated just how much I had missed her and now that I had her back in my arms, I didn’t want to let go. Not for anything. Her fingers slightly trembled in my hands and my chest ached with familiarity. I

    CelineI walked into the grand halls, my steps were light but filled with purpose. The room was decorated beautifully and as I stepped further into the room, the light radiating from the chandelier caught into the sun themed design of my dress. It was golden, amber and radiant and I couldn’t help but admire the intricate designs of the gown. I felt and looked both elegant and powerful. I was unrecognizable, even to myself and if I couldn’t recognize myself then no one would. Focus on finding Lucan and not admiring yourself, a tiny voice at the back of my mind said, reminding me of what I was truly there for. I couldn’t help but feel nervous as I went over my plan of seducing Lucan, getting every information about the key and cage from him and then going to release my mother so we could escape. But despite my anxiety, I was determined to follow through with my plan. Letting out a deep breath, I walked to the corner of the room and my eyes started scanning the length of the room. It

    CelineIt was finally time for the ball. I was standing in front of the mirror, staring at myself while I adjusted the final touches on my dress for the ball. The dress was elegant and it fit me perfectly which only made me wonder who had sent it. Who could have known my perfect size and just what I liked?When I had left Kaiden’s room, I had gone to the kitchen and grabbed something to snack on with water, placed them carefully in a basket and made my way to my room, not bothering to look back as I took quick steps. My mind came back to the present and I turned to look at Sybil who was staring at me with anything but malice for the first time since I had met her. She knew she was at my mercy and I would punish her if she acted out but what she didn’t really know was that I was merely threatening her and I would never bring myself to hurting her.I walked over to her, looking at her as gently as I could, trying to make her calm down but it was futile.
