2021-02-26 22:44:51I couldn't sleep at night.
I tossed, turned and rolled over the wooden platform I called a 'bed.' I felt so much hurt below my abdomen. I knew it was my mate sleeping with the Queen Bee and it hurt. There was so much pain and for a moment I thought I'd die. Even though a part of me wanted to
Every single time I tried to fall asleep, it was no use. I could hear his voice in my head. . .
"I, Beta Devin hereby reject you, Omega Celeste as my mate." He had said coldly. All because of a wrong misconception. That I killed my own father. I didn't deserve this. Not this...
These were my thoughts till the next morning. I didn't remember falling asleep. So, maybe I passed out from the unbearable pain that consumed me.
....
I felt a bucket of cold water being poured on my body Next, was a stinging slap on my face. I immediately sprung up from my bed to see the annoyed face of mother. She looked so furious at me.
"Some nerves you've got for sleeping till this time!" She exclaimed. My face moved in abrupt shock as I stood up hurriedly from my wooden bed. I felt dizzy and light headed, like I was about to pass out. After that last, I wasn't able to focus again but I tried my best to say something.
"I-I'm sorry, mum. I had no idea I overslept." I muttered, with my gaze directed down.
"Oh, save it. And didn't I tell you never to call me mum?!" She reacted by pulling my ears forcefully.
"Come with me." she said, dragging me along with her through my ears like some ragged doll. Mum dragged me into the attic and threw me in. I fell helplessly on the floor as she did.
"Your punishment is to clean here. And, you mustn't leave a speck of dust!" Mum told me.
"No food for you till you finish." She added. My eyes moved in abrupt shock at her announcement. I was tired and hungry. I hadn't even eaten anything ever since yesterday. I mean, what energy was I supposed to use to clean here as she wanted??
I watched as she walked out of the attic, slamming the door shut. I heard the key hole twist in a lock motion. Then it happened.
I was met with a sudden darkness, engulfing me.
Darkness.
I hated darkness.
Because when it was dark, bad things happened. I remembered that day dad was murdered in front of me. Cold-blooded. I had run to call for help but nobody came. And, when they came, they blamed me for his death. That I should have saved him not run away like a coward.
"Dad..." I trailed out.
"I didn't mean to leave you, dad." I added. My body crawled to a part of the room, resting on the wall. My whole body was still in pain from last night. And, the whole darkness was making me feel nauseous. I saw a giant tarantula crawl out directly in front of me.
My heart immediately seized in panic as I began hyper-ventilating. My breathing became rapid and my chest thudded in quick paces.
Not spiders?
I hated spiders.
There entire body made me feel creeped out. Goosebumps rattled on my skin. In total disgust, my wolf started to resurface. Weakly, I took off my clothes and tied it to my legs. The moment my wolf shifted, she broke the attic door and ran out. I tried to stop her but she was so wild from the loss of her mate.
My wolf, Merida kicked forward, digging her paws on the ground till we ran into the forest. We ran and ran to anywhere as long as it wasn't the attic. As she kicked forward, I remembered the rejection of our mate once again. That alone made me halt. I shifted back, noticing my surroundings. I knew I wasn't anywhere near my pack again. Then, where was I?
"I, Beta Devin hereby reject you, Omega Celeste as my mate." It rung in my ears again. I hated that I couldn't forget all about it. I hated the severe pain my body gave me whenever I thought of the rejection and his mark on her body. Also, I disliked the way mum treated me like an outcast. Even though she wasn't my real mum, wasn't she supposed to make peace like dad did all his life?
Why did she treat me so brutally?
An outcast.
That was me, Celeste.
No one treated me right in the pack. They all hated me. And, when I explained what happened that day, they called me a liar. I didn't want to live this life anymore. I wasn't suicidal, but sometimes, life got blurry and confusing.
My eyes scanned my environment. It was then I noticed a rope sitting around the corner. It was as if that rope was calling me and pulling me in. I walked to it and picked it up.
"What are you doing?" Merida asked. But I chose to ignore her, knowing she would try to stop me.
I took the piece, attaching it to one of the forest's trees. I tightened it, pulling it in a very tight knot.
"Dear Moon Goddess," I started out.
"I want to go meet my parents on the other side. Thank you for your efforts in trying find me a mate. Even though I got rejected..." I trailed out, with tears blurring my vision. I wished I was like other kids in the pack. I wished I had normal friends like others. But, as dad said," People had different destinies."
".... Thank you," I completed. Just as I finished, I placed the loop round my neck. I took a last look at the branch I was on. Then, slowly, I let my legs fall down. The rope seized the lower part of my throat, blocking my trachea. I couldn't breathe and my hands moved to try to lighten the pain but I couldn't.
I succumbed, knowing the pain wouldn't be for long. Soon, I would enter a land of no return with no regrets. Soon, I would see dad and mum.
Just as I slowly began to slip out of consciousness, I heard a loud growl saying,
"Bring her down now!!"
The last thing I saw was an incredibly handsome stranger, before I slipped into darkness...

The Alpha’s Hybrid 4. How
I could hear muffled sounds. It was whispery; like an untamed clatter, coming from an unknown place. The most amazing thing was I couldn’t recognize the sounds. It wasn’t from the cellar I stayed in.“Is she…the Alpha’s mate??” “Wow… she’s so pretty!” “Quiet! Let’s go out so we won’t wake her up…”“Oh, no. Alpha is coming, let’s leave!”The next thing I heard was the sound of a door opening, with a creaking sound. My eyes immediately opened swiftly out of shuddered open that minute. The first thing that my eyes laid on the moment I opened it was white ceilings. I stared at them confusingly…Where was I?With the Moon Goddess perhaps, because I remember trying to take my life.Slowly, I sat up from the bed, rubbing my eyes to see everything clearly. It was by the time I dropped my hands that I came face-to-face with a handsome

My eyes bolted open the minute I felt someone’s lips on mine. I narrowed my eyes, wondering who it was—only to open my eyes fully, finding that same male that Merida claimed was our second-chance mate. For a moment, I stare into his brown eyes which are warm. He seemed too bright for his own good.I got into my senses when I discovered we’ve been staring at ourselves for a long period of time. I immediately blinked at him in total dismal. But it seemed like he was not having it. My petite hands directed to my lips, focusing on him. He just kissed me! “D-Did y-you just kiss me?” I asked, furrowing my brows at him. I expected him to reply he didn’t. Instead, he lifted me by the collar of my shirt, pulling me up as if I was some kind of lifeless entity.“W-Wh- “I tried to say but he interrupted that instant.“You,” he started off, staring at me so intensely. “Why are you so keen to end your life?” He ask

Patricia had so much to say to me. She had babbled about why I should keep on living and not try ending my life. She even made me promise to her not to. On the verge of tears, I hugged her. My spirits made me feel so alone. I knew deep down; I was just this small girl who had been misunderstood by lots of people. And, I never even bothered to explain myself again because they just never believed anything I said. She left me after a while. The guards watching me informed me of their Alpha’s proposition. He had ordered to see me for some reason. And now, I was on my way to wherever he was located, with two bulky guards at my side. They all made it seem like I was some psycho that needed watching and it irritated me. As we halted in front of the Alpha’s workplace, I saw one of the guard’s pupils dilate, I knew he had just mind linked the Alpha. The next thing I knew we were already enterin

I was taken to a room by the guards this crazy Alpha assigned to me. They kept hovering around me even when I entered the room. The room was an extremely large one. It smelled like candies. Ok, not exactly candies but it was this refreshing scent I perceived. Something woodsy and delicious. It was familiar. Like the same Alpha.My eyes immediately directed to one of the guards. I hesitantly asked him, “Whose room is this?” I didn’t miss the confused expression he gave me. Although he answered, in more of a submissive way… It was as if I was some important person.“This room belongs to our Alpha, Luna. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call us.” He answered, bowing down. My brows furrowed in confusion. I didn’t understand why he would put me in his room? Back at my pack. I couldn’t even live with my family. How would I be able to live with an Alpha?“The Alpha told me to mention that

I was pissed.In fact, pissed was an understatement. I was so annoyed and angry. I could feel my Merida inside me. She was so hurt at the sight in front of us. The girl with the red hair was kissing our mate, right in front of us. It all reminded me of the scene back at my pack. When Beta Devin marked the Queen bee of my pack directly in front of me.In total disbelief, one of my legs retreated back. That made Alpha Killian look at my direction that instant. The female who had kissed him spared me a glance. I could read the expressions on their faces. They were both surprised I was actually there which was insane. My other leg followed the other, taking a step back, with a hand on my chest.Turning around, I ran through the door I had come in from. Perhaps, my expectations were too high. I shouldn’t have foresaw having a mate. Perhaps, I wasn’t just bound to have a mate. I sho

“Stay here, Celeste. I have something important to do.” Alpha Killian said. My hands reluctantly moved without permission to take a hold of his. But it was too late. He had already gone.Knowing that, I growled alone to the comfort of the room. It felt cold and annoying. There was this sudden need in me. A need to be with Alpha Killian. My body also seemed to be forgetting Beta Devin’s rejection. Even though I could still feel him mating with his girlfriend, it was no longer as painful as before. This definitely had something to do with the fact that I had accepted his rejection.Standing up, I walked to the mirror I noticed in the room. My hands raised the cloth I was wearing which revealed my stomach. I had never got the chance to examine my belly but I was beyond startled by what I saw.There were purple like traces on it which were a little red on my pale and white skin. I couldn’t believe that there was this amount of damaged wounds on my body. Thou

It was like I was lost. I couldn’t even focus on anything part from that beautiful scene that had occurred when I was a little girl.Sounds.That was what I heard for a long while. Not until I realized that they weren’t just sounds. Someone was trying to reach out to me. I immediately spinned back to reality.“Celeste!” I immediately sprung out of my thoughts, looking directly in front of me. An overwhelming expression was written all over her face.“You seemed lost in thought. I was asking what flavor you wanted.” She breathed out. Trying to focus, I opened my mouth to answer her.“Oh, sorry about that. Chocolate I guess.” I replied her. I watched as it was scooped into the cone shaped cup. The moment we purchased it, we left there.I arrived back at the pack with Kate. I showed my gratitude before she left, saying she had another outing with her friends. Thus, the stuffs we had bought were all in my hands.Carrying a whole lot o

Alpha Killian was still very much positioned between my legs. His face held an angry frown that went all the way to his cheekbones to his jaw. He growled ferociously, with his pupils dilating into pure black. My heart thudded at how scary he looked right now. In fear, I withdrew from him. I slid from his grasp, taking several steps back after I came down from where he had placed me on earlier.What was I supposed to do now?No, this couldn’t be happening!My back came in contact with the wall directly at the entrance. With a scowl written all over his features, he thudded his feet towards me. I could feel my chest beginning to tighten at all that was happening. I heard that Alpha’s were very possessive with their mates. I even witnessed my pack’s Alpha tearing apart a rogue for grazing his mate.That was how bad it was.Why did I run my mouth?Why did I…?These thoughts were encrypted on my mi

*6 months later*Before Shadow Knight went back to land, he offered to teach Harry, his successor, how to manage the sea. Queen Calypso knew this was certainly going to take months, thus she offered we went back together, since I was still in process of transformation and discovering my powers.Day by day, I never did improve in the discovery of it. When it did highlight, I was unable to control it. My wolf wasn’t happy with me at all. It all had to do with the fact that I wasn’t going back on land, to Killian.But she didn’t understand.If I went back to land in this pitiful state, I would become a threat to the members of Fangs Clan Pack.Mum didn’t want that.She believed it was all patience, the sincerest virtues, that fixed it all.We were in her Royal Chambers, when her legendary rushed in suddenly.“My Queen!

I almost choked on my words, the minute the Queen said that. My eyes lit with shock at the name she mentioned. I was beyond bewildered at what was happening.“S-Shadow Knight?” I repeated after her instantly.“Yeah, I know it’s all hard to take in. B- ““No, no, mum. You don’t understand!” I let out.“H-He’s the f-father to my mate. He’s Killian’s father, mum.” I answered her immediately.It seemed like fate wanted to play a game with me. I wasn’t surprised in anyway, because it always did that with me, for some reason.“What? That can’t be, dear. It’s ab-surd!” she exclaimed.“Are you sure about this?” she breathed out, asking me. I looked at her, alarmed, with my eyes still bolted.“Yes, he’s the one, Killian’s father, mate to Patricia Knight.” I said to her. Her eyes sh

“What truly happened?” I asked her. Instead of answering, she directed her staff midriff. Then, it came again. The epitome of that energy. Her hair blew mightily, once again, with a daunting and intimidating expression all on her features.As before, everything around me looked like an illusion suddenly. A force lifted us both. This made my mind lurk to various possibilities. I didn’t yelp this time. Either way, I wasn’t as calm as she was. She was certainly used to more of this.From the corner of my eye, I peeked at her and saw that she closed her eyes. Thus, I imitated her actions too, closing my eyes. Suddenly, it was like we were pulled from that world beneath the sea, to another.Again, my body was somewhat weightless and translucent. Slowly, I opened my eyes only to see that once again, we were underwater. My eyes naturally directed to her, my eyes to her, as we settled.My hands were clasped around hers tightl

Staring at her in pure surprise was the only thing I could do. Nothing made sense anymore these days, and it saddened me up. It made me confused as to why I felt like a stranger in the wolf pack.“Are you my m-mum?” I asked, with my eyes staring at all of her features which were similar to mine. I had always wondered why I didn’t look like dad. Seemed like I took more of her.“Yes, dear. I was the one who birthed you,” she answered, looking at me with a kind look in her eyes, without batting a lash. Her hands landed on my shoulders, soothing it sweetly. And at that instant, everything felt like a connection. I was drawn to this woman…Hold on a sec, why am I believing this easily?“And, why should I believe you? My mum died while giving birth to me. S-So how could you b-be?” Arching a firm brow, I asked her.“Or is this some kind of underworld, I do not know of?” I questione

Killian’s Pov“How much silver bullets are left in the pistols?” I asked, with clenched teeth to my Beta, Corey. Moon Ravagers Pack definitely had some balls to go against Fangs Clan. From what happened last night, I was going to put them in their place.“More than enough, Alpha. There are also add-ons in the store and more are being produced,” he dutifully let out, in a submissive stance.“Good, inform the men to be on watch-out. Any slight movement from any trespasser should be dealt with accordingly,” I ordered him.“Okay, Alpha.” he said, bowing down once more.Suddenly, one of the pack warriors came rushing in. His movement was filled with so much haste that it caught almost the attention of the other pack warriors.What’s this all about? Claw commented. I had felt him growing wild, but ignored him to focus on protec

Maliah’s PovI sighed in frustration.It’s been seven days since I’ve been in the dungeon and mum was still unbending on her decision to keep me here. After she discovered I communicated with someone on the surface, it was like she didn’t consider me to be her daughter anymore.She wouldn’t even allow the sea jury to put me on trial. Neither was anyone concerned about my case. I knew it was all mum’s doing. She was one of those people who protected the royal throne and tenets with all. Laying down her life for Oceania wasn’t an something quite new.Devoted to her duty, mum always guided the sea as Queen Calypso’s legendary guardian.Every member of the sea royals, had a guardian assigned to them by the ever-knowing Sea Goddess. It could be likened to a wolf’s world in a way. A legendary guardian was just like a mate. The only differen

After the conversation with Patricia, I made my way outside. This was to check on the pack members. It was like everything today happened here because of me.My eye caught the clock strike 12 when I walked out. The midnight air hit my face. I held my black dress, raising it up slightly to walk without stumbling. My shoes dug in the damp soiled ground with each step I took.From where I stood, I could see the pack finally settling. Most men and women were retiring to bed. I noticed a strange thing though. The children weren’t afraid in anyway. Instead, vengeance was written beneath the depths of their eyes.I was beginning to know the reason for Fangs Clan being the most feared pack. They trained everyone to fight, including children. Thus, these creatures didn’t even fear what was coming their way. Not a single one did cling to their parent in fear.Since the Moon Ravagers retreated, the environment was more peaceful. I could tel

From a distance, we watched as the fumes from the dungeon below curled in the air. I could only imagine the people who couldn’t get saved inside the dungeon at this moment. My mind was fogged with so many things. I was completely clueless of what just happened inside.Kate had just attempted to get rid of me and him.Panting, I directed my gaze to Caleb’s.On a spot, we were horrified from whatever had just happened now. He directed his eyes to mine. With a shaky hand, he pointed to my hand. My eyes directed to them too, examining it. They looked pale and whitish.“Y-Your hands, C-Celly...” he let out in a shaky voice.I cleared my voice before speaking, bracing myself up from the fact that we just almost died.“I know... I have no idea of what just happened, believe me.” I muttered, presently unsure. It was all like someone placed me in an unfamiliar place, leaving me to figure out everything about that place.“What’s happening?”
The Alpha’s Hybrid 54. Hurdle
Mysterious darkness.It was like I was lost in a mysterious darkness, in spite of the fire that occupied the whole dungeon. It was strange that I could feel that indefinite darkness, occupying me. Something that could be likened to the same set of emotions, I had felt when dad was murdered in a cold blood.My hands reached for my ear, covering it from the numerous sounds I was presently hearing. My heart began to make erratic thuds from the memory lane I was taken back to. It was like something you dreaded, happening all over again. There was a creepy sensation lurking in my lower belly.“Dad…” My lips shakily let out. I didn’t even know when my mouth made out that word.“I didn’t mean to leave you, dad…” I added again. A feeling of déjà vu radiated through me, but this was different. Because something really dangerous, triggered this. The only thing was that I didn’t know what.
