"Zillon..." Williams bowed his head in a formal greeting. "What is it that you want?"
"Sorry for the intrusion, but I came here for something important.""Alright then son, I have no reason to stop you when you use the word important...go ahead.""Honey what are you saying? How can yo—!""Did we not already search the room Nadine? If there was anything in there, we'd have found it.""As always, your honesty never disappoints, Williams... You've always been like that around father, if you stole a candy and he asked about it, you'd tell him it was you and if he hyped about his looks, you'd always be the one to break it to him that he doesn't have much.""If you're complimenting my honesty, why is that my mate loathes it?""Perhaps because it's really not a nice trait to have, it could get you into some serious problem... especially since you've done so many people wrong, including your own daughter...you guys were adamant"Shhh stupid, if mom ever catches us, we're dead."Celeste tilted her head, her eyes fixated on the stone Celia held in her hand. "Mom and dad is gone...and they told us to behave. They said not to touch anything.""Well I'm going to touch it... they're gone...I can do whatever I want.""Celi—""Shhh! I bet mom told the idiots next door to keep an eye on us...but whatever, I'm touching whatever I want, the closet is ours anyway...""What are y-you going to do to it? Stop now Celia...we're going to be in big trouble.""I don't care...how could she? She left me food and didn't leave you any because you were bad. You weren't bad...I was the one who did it.""B-But we already shared it...""That doesn't make it fair, does it?""Celia..." Celeste's eyes flashed to the stone again. "What are you going to do with it?""We're going to steal her most precious jewelry...that necklace dad bought her for o
Celeste opened it up, finding a small perfume bottle filled with a clear, watery substance and a crushed up paper. She took out the bottle, handing it to Zillon. "I suppose that's it and this..." She picked up the paper. "Must be what she was talking about. I wonder what's written inside...why did she not fold instead of crushing it?""Go ask her, Kitcat, nobody here would know...but how about opening it so we can see too?"Celeste looked down at the paper, slowly starting to unfold it, she didn't know what would be inside. She was curious, anxious too, but she was also scared.What if it was a letter broadcasting just how worthless and disgusting she was? What if it was a letter of degradation?Celeste's hands shook as she finally got it opened up, her eyes zooming in on the words written on it...'It's ironic, I know...the same thing that happened to you is now happening to m—'A hand settled over the paper, blocking
Zillon stood silently by the rusty iron bars, eyes fixated on Xavier who sat in the very corner of his cell. He looked so pitiful, but Zillon didn't have the time to pity him right now. "Have they been feeding you?"Xavier looked towards the other side of his cell where all the food that have been given to him in the past days laid smelly and untouched. "I suppose they have, but I will never eat anything offered to me by my enemies...I'd rather starve."His voice unlike the last time Zillon had spoken to him was dry and croaky and Zillon's heart pained him at the sound of it. "Have you at least been drinking water?""Is this a health check-up or a f*cking interrogation? Get to the point then leave...I don't intend to look up in your despicable face for much longer.""Why are there still attacks on my pack members? You're imprisoned, why won't they stop?""I guess they won't stop until I die..." He smiled up at Zillon, cocking his head aga
*BEFORE THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER*"What's so wrong with wanting to find out if you were being played? We were so close...it couldn't have all been fake. He told me to be strong, if not physically, then mentally...he taught me so many things, been there so many times, he even took care of me when I was sick. Why go so far for revenge? Something must be off, I can't see myself believing that Xavier would order the rogues to kill anyone. He was so gentle, so pure...I need to hear him say it, the Xavier I know is way too nice to ruthlessly play somebody."Zillon sighed. "Sometimes I wish I could ignore that desperate look in your eyes. Everytime you beg...I give in." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Is that why you always do it? Are you taking advantage of me?"Celeste shook her head. "No...never, I just want to know what's going on...I want to understand the situation. You say that I'm your Luna, doesn't a Luna help her alpha? Especially in times like this.""And there y
"Is it...it is true...? Was it all a lie?"Xavier looked towards the walls, not answering.Celeste stepped closer to the cell. "Answer me, Xavier....was it all fake? Was I just a pawn? Someone disposable? Was I j-just being used?" Her shaky hands reached for the rusty bars, gripping them tight. "I was willing to let you mark me...at one point I was willing to choose yo—""But you didn't choose me, did you? I can't pick up your scent and yet I know Zillon's mark's on your neck. You weren't going to choose me, Celeste! Doesn't that make me a f*cking pawn too? I was being used as well...you didn't love me and I knew it and yet..." He looked towards her. "That didn't stop me from loving you.""Xavie—""I was just a replacement...now that the real deal's back...I'm stashed aside, no longer wanted, no longer being used and then you're here crying because I used you? You did the same, Celeste...feel guilty too.""I...I didn't, I—"
Zillon stepped out of the darkness of the dungeon and into the light of the outside, turning to stare at Liam and Fredd. "I'm leaving Celeste with mom and dad as soon as the sky gets dark, we're going on patrol tonight because if it really wasn't Xavier all along, then we're in trouble. We need to delve pass our borders, we need to take this more seriously...we're under attack and here I was thinking that it was just a petty little revenge. We have the same product they have...it might not be much, but it's probably enough to cover our tracks for tonight." He sighed, the stern look on his face not changing. "I want you to the east Liam... Fredd to the west...I'll take the south as for the north borders...I'll get one of the best fighters here to cover it. The link between us will be open and there'll be no men on patrol, just us. I want everybody at there best games...nobody else should die, especially not you guys."Fredd and Liam nodded at him. "Noted."
The meeting was nothing but a warning to the pack members and a restriction to the patrol men. He reassured them that he'd keep them safe, reminded them that he was Gregory's son and despite all the previous occurings, they had all rooted for him.He didn't really fill them in on the situation, however he told them to stay in their homes tonight because there will only be four men on patrol. After that, he had asked Liam to choose one of the strongest fighters amongst them since he was the one who trained with them most recently...and now it was time for the hunt.He had already dropped Celeste off, long before the meeting started. She didn't want to let him go, and honestly, he didn't want to let her go either. But it wasn't about what he wanted, at least not now...He was an alpha and he had to protect her as well as his pack.Sighing, he looked towards Liam, Fredd and the newcomer he barely knew a thing about. John...at least he knew his name.
The woman's hands covered her breast and in shame brought her legs close together as she sat on the floor. "Please...I beg of you, don't kill my mate...we come in peace...Xavier... we've come to see our alpha."Zillon would've tilted his head in confusion if his jaws weren't hinged around the beast beneath him neck."We're from the underground cave you raided a week ago...though I can't pick up your scent, I know it's you who took him...your colour is one of a kind." Her eyes glided down to the wolf she had claimed to be her mate, then back up at Zillon. "Your men already killed some of us, even tonight we're being hunted like dogs… blood there was so much blood, if we didn't run away, we'd be dead too...have mercy we've never harmed a pack before and we'd never harm yours."Zillon's eyes squinted at that...blood? His men knew better than to kill before questioning, moreover, they'd ask him first.Connecting to the open link, Zillon reached out to
I want to thank you guys for sticking with me throughout 'The Alpha's Unwanted Mate' journey, but now it's time for another! It's out guys! Xavier's story is out! 'A Rogue For The Alpha King', it'll be just as mind blowing as this one! Trust your author Gaydar and go read!(っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ Let me just drop the description real quick୧(^ 〰 ^)୨ Celia Cobourne betrayed her pack in aid of being with him; her one true mate, and yet instead of accepting, he abandoned her. She deserved it though, didn't she? She was already branded, she was already used...and futhermore, what would an alpha king really do with a Rogue...? _ Xavier Macre or Rather Kaheel Macre as he came to know, ranked up from a rogue to an Alpha King after finding his real parents...he had stepped on many people for revenge and revenge got him on the throne he now sat on... But with nothing but a throne and a crown, what joy would he have? Could he go back to his mate? The rogue one, the branded one, the stepping stool tha
Zillon hesitantly patted the tombstone he stood before, fingers shaking. He didn't want to be here or rather, he was afraid to be...Beside him, his mother stood and behind them were Celeste and the kids...they were three years old now and somehow, Celeste had got them into practically forcing him to come here.'Grandpa...' they had said, that evil, little smile smothered across their face. He really didn't know how such devils slipped from an angel's womb and he would never know.These kids were cute and funny, but they were hard to control. They ran around the house as though it was a track field and threw his ornaments as though they were balls. Sometimes he wished he could throw them out, but then he remembered that they were his kids and moreover, he was the one who spoiled them.They weren't fond of listening to Celeste either and the only way they'd listen to him was if he got all serious...even now they were running around for no god damn reason.Zillon glared back at them, bu
"What did the doctor say?""He sai—""No Fredd, you shouldn't have asked him that, ask him why are we here... that's all I need to know.""Because you're suppose to be...?""And why is that?" Liam questioned, glaring at Zillon. "We weren't with you when you were getting her pregnant, it's almost 4 in the morning man! This isn't fair.""Stop being such a douche Liam...he obviously doesn't know what to do or say...the man is sweating so f*cking hard." Fredd patted Zillon's shoulder. "What did the doctor say?""He said that a few hours from now, Celeste was going to have the f*cking babies.""And you're happy, right?""Yeah.""Then why in the goddess' name are you crying?""Because she's going to cry, she's going to be in so much pain.""Ahhh, such stupid reasonings, but st—""I think I was wrong..."All three men turned to the doctor and then to the room Celeste was in when they heard a broken cry."Her labour is not at all hours away, it's a couple minites now. I assumed she wasn't rea
"Hey, do you think Celia will ever come back, I know she's alive or rather that's what I keep telling myself...but when will she come back? We were enemies for more than five years and when the issue between us finally resolved, she left? I don't understand it, I want to, but I can't. Do you think she's with her mate; with Xavier?"Zillon rubbed his eyes and looked over at Celeste, another month had passed and though she had seemed okay throughout it all, he knew she wasn't...but now he was glad that she was opening up about this topic once again. "I thought we were over this, Kitten...but since we're apparently not, I'm glad you woke me up, what time is it by the way?""About 3... In the morning." Celeste grumbled, staring up at him with those sad blue eyes."I don't know where she is, but you said it before, you said she always had a reason for doing things, you said that whatever it is that she does...it was always to benefit her. Trust her, Celeste... she probably left in order to
Zillon stripped her slowly, his lips leaving kisses down her stomach as he pulled down her panty. "I'll take it slow tonight, Kitten...I hope you don't mind."Celeste's finger ran through his black hair, a moan leaving her lips. "I don't..."Zillon pulled the panty off the very tip of her toes, dropping it on the floor. "I knew it was stupid to have held back and yet I did it anyway. Why do it if I didn't have the resolve to hold back forever...? Stupid."His tongue traced her thighs, his hands pulling her legs wider and down into the wilderness he went. His lips spread her folds and his tongue made an even bigger mess out of her. She was already wet and yet more slick kept dripping down her walls. Her legs shook so bad that she thought she was dying from fits and Zillon still didn't stop.His lips explored her property as if it was his and his tongue searched the warmth of her walls as though something that belonged to him was lost beyo
"Where is she?" Zillon asked as soon as he returned home. Liam and Fredd looked away from the TV and gave him a guilty look. "She fell asleep, not sure if she's awake now, but her mood will be sour...in fact since you're here, we're leaving.""What did you guys do to get her to sleep?""Well you know, nothing out of the ordinary...we just told her she was fat and...and ugly...""What?""You told us to stop her from eating, that's the only thing we could come up with..."Zillon pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm not even going to argue or complain, it's my fault for asking idiots for a favour. Go before I strangle you both..."Liam and Fredd nodded and quickly walked out of the living room. Zillon glared at them until they disappeared out of his line of vision before walking up the stairs. He entered his room, finding Celeste asleep on their bed.They had renovated her room, filled it up with things for their
Zillon sat on the couch when Liam and Fredd tiptoed in. Both had their index finger on their lips and jumped in fright when they saw him."Gosh...I thought that was her...is she sleeping?" Liam whispered."As if Celeste would ever sleep, she'll be down in a minute."Both men instantly spun on their heels. "Well we'll be out in less than a minute...see you later man."They began to tiptoe their way back out, but Celeste walked down the stairs right on time. "Liam! Fredd...?" She grinned.Liam groaned as he stopped to look at her. "Couldn't you have stayed longer?""What do you mean?""It's nothing..." He turned to Fredd, whispering pretty loudly again. "Seeing as the enemy already saw us, let's just stay...when she attacks later, we'll leave."Fredd nodded, him and Liam walking over to take a seat beside Zillon on the couch. "How's it going man? I bet you've been going mad.""Not today, she's been good..
"Cereal again, Celeste? This is really getting out of hand. Why don't we make sandwiches today?""I don't want that.""Toast?""No...""Then how about I chef you up my masterpiece?""What's that?"Zillon grinned. "Eg—""No..."The stupid grin on Zillon's face went missing instantly, she didn't even let him finish...how harsh. For months now, she's been eating unhealthy food, nothing to keep her throughout the day which was why she was almost always hungry... ice-cream, buns, salty snacks and cereals that's what she mostly ate for breakfast, sometimes he could force to eat what he prepared —eggs, the only thing he actually cook and sausage sandwiches— but not everyday she'd listen."Celeste, come on..." He threw an arm over her shoulder, pulling her away from the cereal box. "Don't you love my newfound talent?""If it's cooking, then no."Zillon's pride melt into water and it wasted no
It took four months after the war for the devastation that the pack felt to lessen. Many had died, leaving children, wives, parents, but their efforts were never forgotten..They were all buried at the south side of the borders where their loved ones could go visit them... The pack had lessened drastically, it was no longer second to the Alpha kings's pack, but then again, Zillon did not care.He didn't have time to envy Xavier's pack when he was busy rebuilding his and taking care of Celeste.That night when he had...you know... 'woken from the dead, he got to find out that Xavier wasn't at all his brother, they had the same blood, they were family, but they just weren't brothers...His father has done something so despicable that it had become a sensitive topic for him. He had been there to confess, beaten and bloodied, but still alive.His wolf hadn't been strong enough to retain its form, he had involuntarily changed back into the ski
