Celeste’s Pov
Patricia had explained to me what I needed to know that day. She had told me what she had in mind to find the culprit. She mentioned that it was all about using sixth sense and a fragment of force. She had told me that compulsion was sometimes, was the only language people understood.
While she explained the whole thing to me, I couldn’t help but feel worried. I had no idea of how to do any of these things. As a weak and powerless Omega, I knew I didn’t have the ability to emanate a Luna authority. I just aimed to try and really hoped it worked somehow.
I slept that day with the thought on my mind. It was so late in the night when I began hearing the same whispers again. The voice sounded desperate and anxious this time. It was something whispery as before. The only difference was that this was more chilling.
“C-ELESTE,” It called out. I covered my ears, rolling to the other
I could have argued with anyone at this point that my heart stopped. Couldn’t have been in a more awkward position, than the one I was presently in. This was least expected and the amused look on his features, was the proof that he thought of me as weird. Nothing was helping my situation at all.As I gathered my thoughts, my eyes locked with his brown orb ones. Timidly looking at them, I wondered what he was thinking. I cleared my voice, motioning for his hands to let me go, as I was directly on him. But it seemed he was enjoying this.My hands hit the bed for support, as I made a move to leave his grasp. Alpha Killian tightened his grip possessively around me. My throat reflexly let out a cough for not being able to believe what had just happened.I coughed, blinking my eyes numerous of times. When I gazed back up, I could see his brown orb eyes, still staring at me intensively.My eyes nervously looked down, wondering if he had somethi
Celeste’s POVToday was the day I was supposed to be seeing Kate. From there, we would be investigating what really happened that day. After I was done bathing, I opened the closet that held Killian’s cloth and mine. He had given me a part to keep my clothes which I was thankful for. My room in my previous pack wasn’t even up to the size of this closet.I took out a romper suit, putting it on. My thoughts still lingered around what had occurred just this morning. He was intimate with me and stopped without any warning of any sort. A part of me appreciated he did while another part of me craved to be with him.I also had to find time to go see Maliah, after last night. Her call had made me have a panic attack somehow, which was just too bad. The sooner I met her for explanation the better. And, maybe I could actually get to know why I still was affected by something that happened five years ago.I knocked on
“Then let’s do this together, Celeste. Let’s find out who set us up. I assure you that you’ll have no problem in radiating power as a Luna. Just leave the rest to me,” Merida had said the other day. This made me wonder so much, if her statement had to do with what had just happened.“Celeste, hey Celeste!” I was brought back to reality immediately by that voice. I shook on my spot a bit, before re-directing my eyes to who had called me.It was Caleb.“You looked like you were lost or something? Are you okay?” he said, asking me.“Yeah…I am…” I trailed out, answering.“We were asking you to please do it again.” he spoke. I cringed my brows, looking at them with confusion.“Do what again?” I asked. Kate came forward in her towel. She strode with so much confidence in spite of Caleb being
When I had searched desperately for where to go, I knew I needed a place no one could find me. Former Celeste could have probably fled the pack, but I knew I had nowhere to go, if I did. So, I ignored Killian’s call, figuring I needed a break from these shits.Yeah, shits.But the person in front of me surprised me a lot. I had been so lost in thought, that I hadn’t even suspected that she’ll actually be here with me right now.Patricia.Her blonde hair was still obvious, even in darkness. Her voice, warm as ever. I couldn’t help but give a weak smile at her. I watched as she made her directions searching for the stake. It didn’t take long for her to find it. She then lit it and tucked it in a holder just at the corner of the room.“How did you find me?” I asked her, with a saddened look. She made sure to light another stake to illuminate the room properly.“Knew I’d find you be here.” she replied, sitting beside me.For a moment,
Unknown’s POVI had to run. I had to leave here. In order not to be caught I had to. It seemed like she was getting stronger. Celeste was... I certainly didn’t expect this move. Like the game of chess, this was a move that could ruin it all. And, I wasn’t in for it. Not now.Impossible!How did she find out what to do? I never sensed her to be someone with brains. She would ruin my plan. She would ruin it! I had to call for help. But I knew to call for help, I would have to get caught first. Tiffany would do. That dumb blonde could be at my beck and call every moment. I knew the right tabs to press.Without anyone noticing, I brought out my phone. I secretly texted in it, leaving a message for her and Brianna. They would see it any moment from now. A smirk carved my mouth the instant I saw that it was received. It would happen any moment from now.Just now.Richard was a spineless cow.
I couldn’t just bring myself to believe what was happening right now. It was all as if blurry lines were set out for me to decode. All of it was confusing and unbelievable to the extent that I was left wondering what is real and unreal. Or fake. Like her or had she had been to people around her. It made me wonder if Caleb knew of her intentions.Kate?I remember being so envy of her. Being pissed because I thought I wasn’t getting the attention I needed, from Killian. Kate had been someone so nice. She had been the one helping myself and Killian all this while. It was all to the extent that never in a million times, would I ever suspect any fault from her.Now, that the culprit mentioned her name, I honestly didn’t know the move to make. I was shaken, on my spot, with my eyes bolted in shock at it all. It all seemed like a dream. A dream I never thought, even existed.“Kate Knight,” His voice boomed round the territory we were in. My gaze drifted t
It’s been two days since we all discovered that Kate was the real culprit. Everyone found it strange because no one expected it. Killian was lost in his own world. He seemed to be the only one hit so much. His closeness to her was definitely the reason he has been so broody these days. Patricia denounced Kate as part of the Knight family.She always wore a dutiful expression but I knew she felt betrayed deep down.The Fangs Clan pack members were sorry for punishing their Luna for something she didn’t do. Every now and then, they visited with gifts like clothes, ornaments and food specially made for me. They expressed their apology on how they treated me the other day. Still very much unused to being gifted, I accepted it with their apologies. I knew it wasn’t their fault.They just had a great love for their Alpha, in spite of his cruelness to other packs.Caleb was a different issue. We now spent time together and most of the times, he would have
“You l-love me?” I asked him. Perhaps he had said it out of the need to say it. Cause I knew all my life, I had only been loved by my father. So, I couldn’t just bring myself to believe him.“Yes, Celeste. I do.” he answered.“Look, I’m sorry for not making a conversation with you for two days. I just needed to assimilate all that happened.” he told me, with an apologetic look on his face.“Kate was someone dear to me. My sister, play mate and my friend. I didn’t expect she would one day turn her back on the pack that raised her.” he said.“Then why do you prefer her company more than mine? Every morning, you allow her to stay with you but not me. Instead I’m sent away, why? Aren’t I your mate?” I asked.I just felt a need to say that desperately. I didn’t want to keep it all in after what had happened. Lies and secrets won’t help our relationship in any way. Instead, it was just going to add to the current problems.“I know I fucked up
*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! We just got a dreadful message from above,” sh
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?”
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.
