Chapter Six
Mondrian's POV “I’d love to see you try Alpha—-?” The corners of my mouth twitched with the ghost of a smile as I punched him harder in the face before he could finish. And suddenly, I craved more blood. I was usually good with controlling my emotions, but with her in front of me. With so much hurt in her eyes, I couldn't stand my Wolf taking over. I wanted so badly to have Christoph torn apart, limb by limb. At that moment, it felt as though all of that was meant to give me immense satisfaction and some relief from the chaos brewing inside me. I tried to hold back my Wolf from having him attacked almost instantly, with my hands still wrapped tightly around her wrist. I couldn't understand why she made me feel the way I did. She looked me over as if noticing my presence for the first time. The sweet scent of this annoying perfect girl, overwhelmed me as I breathed her in amidst all that was happening. “Fuck!” Christoph groaned in pain, holding onto his already broken nose which bled profusely. My gaze snapped to Christoph where his annoying voice cut through my thoughts. He stared back, his eyes glazed and unmoveable but still, a small smile pulled at my lips. I sighed in frustration, threatening to run a hand through my hair. But my mind wouldn't for some reason, stop reeling over what had just happened. “The next time you pull up such a stunt I'll have you dealt with. Mark my words!” I growled taking Celene by the hand as we strode away, not caring whether or not Celene wanted to. All I suddenly wanted was to get her away from the grasp of Christoph “Let go of me!” She yelled, trying to wrench free from my grip. “And what if I don’t?” I scowled at her, gripping her by the arm trying to hold back my wolf from pouncing on her. Her scent wafted over me almost instantly, causing my Wolf to suddenly become so restless in the head that all I couldn't think of was having her claimed as mine. I wanted her so bad that I stared back at her through gritted teeth, trying to figure out ways in the head to have my wolf held back. “I said let go—-” I finally looked at her, finding wild Emerald green eyes staring up at me. Panting, and confused. “Is that how to thank me for saving your life?” I asked, scanning her face relieved to already see colors blooming on her cheeks. To see her eyes glooming again with a familiar fire. I couldn’t stop my eyes from creeping down her delicate throat, where a heart-shaped pendant was settled between her collarbones. A pulse point beating fast, then down her generous tits as my eyes descended lower, wordlessly maneuvering down to her stomach, to her waist, and round hips. My heartbeat slowed down when I breathed in her sweet smell. Her cold delicate fingers were now wrapped in the embrace of my palms as I stared at her wishing I could have my legs locked in between her thighs. I placed a hand on her side, fitting right through her curve as I slowly had her pinned against the wall by the hallway. My Wolf yearning to have her claimed. A lot going through my mind as I thought about how on earth she was to understand that I the Lycan King of the White Fire pack had been alive for a thousand years. I’d been nothing but an element who had spent a thousand years looking for his mate. And even worse, my one-thousand-year birthday, as well as my death and the destruction of White Fire Pack, were apparently in two months. I mean, how was I to have all that explained to her. “You can stare into these eyeballs of mine until you're healed, but until then try to keep your hands to yourself,” She scowled, her soft voice cutting through the thoughts in my head as she yanked my hands away from her sides. “All of that still doesn't change the fact that, you felt the exact same bond I felt a while ago,” I cut in. With my eyes locked directly on hers. I felt like I needed to say it, felt like I needed to admit it to myself. I was finally having one to claim for myself, thereby getting rid of the curse. There was that look again, one that felt as though she’d seen straight through my mini mask. Tearing down my walls, stripping me bare with nothing but her gaze. I hated it… I loved it… “I don't understand a thing you're saying!” Celene yelled, trying to wrench free from my grip still. I snapped back to the realms of reality. My eyebrows shot up, seeing how much courage she had in having to respond in such a manner. ‘No one ever dares!…’ I thought to myself. “I know you do!” I responded, cutting her off from her annoying ignorant rants. I stood there in silence staring at her, with clenched teeth fighting down the urge to tell her. Letting her know how bad my situation had gotten over the years. “Let go of me!” She yelled, finally slipping from my grip running off like she was being chased by some beast coming from behind her. I groaned in frustration, watching her leave. Knowing I’d been one step away to getting freedom from the silly curse. Unfortunately I had in some way ruined it all. “Fuck!” I muttered. As I make my way outside the damned cabin, I sulk towards Alex my Beta who stood casually leaning slightly on the car side. “We’re leaving!” I scowled angrily headed for the car with both hands shoved into the pockets of my pants, as I thought of ways in having her claimed willingly other than having it forced. “Where are we headed Sir,” Alex my beta asked. I stayed silent for a couple of seconds, trying to figure out what else I was to do in having to convince her to accept the claim. “Home!” I said.Chapter seven Mondrian’s POVIt doesn’t have to mean anything…right?! The drive home is more annoying than it seems with Alex on the drivers side chirping away with unhinged excitement at my plight. After filling him in on what had happened in the Violet pack. “So you’re saying that you think her own mother probably tried to kill her daughter??” Alex’s hands raise high to the roof of the car as he shuts the top windows as the slow drizzle of the rain revolves around us. My hands find their way into the gentle strands of hair that've been pulled back with the rubber band I’ve become accustomed to carrying around. Releasing my hair from their bonded terror, I don’t give a verbal response but Alex doesn’t even wait for a response before coming to an answer of his own.“That doesn’t make any sense man.” “I didn’t say she did it. I said..there’s a probability that she’s the one who sent those assassins. There’s something fishy going on and that’s not even the most of my problems at the
Chapter eightCelene’s POVI run across the hallway and up the stairs that connected to the hallways of my room, my heart beating hard and fast as I held into every bit of reserve I’d summed up over the past few hours. Just a few more steps and I’d be within the confines of my room. My eyes blurred with tears as I raced down the hallway, my hands on the doorknob as I barged into my room slamming the door behind me before sinking to my knees.My hands trembled in my laps as I let out all my tears, my cries were barely heard over the sound of rain that hit the roof like pebbles on glass making it all the more easy for me to let out every bit of pent up emotion swirling through me. The atmosphere shifted slowly matching my mood as my room seemed to take on an even darker loom the flowers slowly dropping and the weather slowly worsening. My hands burned where Christoph had held me against him and I raged from within at the betrayal I had recieved. It was only yesterday that I found out
Chapter NineMondrian’s POVThe drive home was faster with my emotions in check and Alex feeling a tad bit chirpier about the things he felt like he’d be able to do now that he knew I’ve gotten a mate. I didn’t realize that the absence of my mate not only pressed into my side but affected the lots of people around me. I ruled the White fire pack with as much intensity and ruthlessness it took to ensure that the pack stayed burning and alive so it took a rather great deal for me to notice what the others were conferenced about only if brought to my notice by my beta-which is Alex-and any of my trusted enforcers. My eyes catch the movement of guards on patrol of the pack house situated at the front end gate which overlooks the crest of the hill the pack was situated on. There were too many advantages with building the pack this far up the county coast, the vegetarian grew easier here making it easy to trade any produce into the local markets and stores providing a source of income for
Chapter 10Author’s POV It's not murder if it’s your own daughter.. it’s not murder if it’s your own daughter. Valerie chanted at the back of her mind as she watched celene being dragged into the hall. Hee smirk was hidden underneath the facade of tears she let pour out of her eyes as she dabbed her face with her kerchief facing her living husband struck with shock and fear as he watched his daughter being brought to her knees still in her nightwear struggling with the guards who had been ordered to bring her into the hall. She let out a scoff at her attempt to seem pained but she knew better than to let her sounds and body betray the internal joy she was feeling. “Valerie??” Daniel’s-Celene’s father-voice wavered as he turned to look at the woman he’d ended up with, all in the course of one mistake.“Yes??” Valerie sniffed before turning to meet the stare her supposed mate was currently giving her. “You know she didn’t do it right??” He stuttered, staring at her and managing to a
Chapter 11Authors POVAuthors POVDrip.Drip.Drip.Drip.. the sound of the water hitting the ground from the tap was the only sound that echoed through the entire washroom as Ella stood still, her eyes raving around the entire space, hands by her waist trying to make sure she wa steady to face the pack again after what had happened last night. She could barely think and more so barely even breathe when she found herself being hauled across the hallway and into a room by her mother. The mark from the rings Valerie wore around her fingers was enough to scar from the slap she had delivered across her daughter's face sent shivers up her spine by her merely looking at it. Memories of the previous night flooding her brain as she slid to her knees in the bathing cubicle. “You had just one job!! And yet you still managed to ruin everything for me.” Valerie screamed at her daughter as she dragged her into the room and pushed her across the room. Ella landed with her bum on the hard floor, te
Chapter 12Celene’s POVMy hands felt cold even after I’d taken a warm bath, my body still froze at every sound, every movement that seemed to come from the room. I’d spent half of my shower time clearing the fog on the glass cubicle every time my hair stood at odd ends due to thoughts of the person being out there watching me. Why would anyone even do something so… filthy? My mind scampered across the number of people who would have done anything like it. I’d crossed the guards and since everyone treated me with less respect due to omega genes from my mothers lineage and Valerie’s disgusting command that anyone who paid me more attention than she did-not like her attention would amount to ten percent-would either be taken into the dungeons or given ten whips.Both seemed utterly ridiculous at the time but I learnt the hard way when I’d barely been able to keep the friends I’d made since I was born due to the stupid demand. That was the first time I’d ever witnessed father be bossed
Chapter thirteen Celene’s POV“I don’t like being kept waiting.” His voice whispers into my ears as he pulls out the chair at the edge of the table. I itched to tear his hands off me where they stayed steering me to the seat, the touch bunting into the skin making me more aware of the height difference between us both. “This woman belongs to me now!” His claim on me rings through my head as he lowers me into the seat before settling down in his. My head turns as I notice the difference in the seating arrangements along with the new face seated on the opposite side of me. Dad and Valerie were seated at the other end of the rather large table situated in the center of the room, the square ends sticking out of the cloth used to decorate the wooden masterpiece. The new face was opposite me with Ella seated at his side and my eyes noticed the only other person in the room. Cristoph was seated right next to me, well he was still a few seats away but he was the only one on my side of the
Chapter 14Mondrian’s POVMy head buzzed slightly as I stretched in my bed my hands gripping the edge of the sheets as I shifted and twisted taking in the scent of the fresh morning dew. I didn’t have to check the alarm clock to know the time since it was already ingrained into my system. Barely forty-five minute past five, the same time for five hundred years I knew better than to try to stop the habit that’d been inbuilt after I’d taken up the position of alpha after dads death. It still came across as shocking to many wolves and Lycans across the lycanthrope charts that the white fire pack had the same aging ability like other nocturnal species like the vampires. Our ability to use various levels of natures essence gave our pack more reason to stand out. The clear advantage and even unclear disadvantage stood out prominently, having had to reduce most of our enemies to nothing but dust and ash as a result of their greed or constantly bringing judgement upon summoned ones separati
