Chapter 18
The human territory was buzzing with frantic shoppers as they pulled up in front of Calmer Crest, a diner in the center of town.
"Why is everything so busy?" Safiya asked, gripping tightly to Brady's arm. He pulled away from her hold and instead draped his arm over her shoulders for protection.
"I don't know." He looked back and waited for Celus and Salen to get out of the car. "Maybe there's some sort of holiday we don't know about."
Celus reached down and grabbed Salen's hand, helping her out the car before slamming the door shut behind her. She stood up on her toes and planted a kiss to his cheek making him smile, shaking his head trying to play off his blush.
The diner was nowhere near as hectic as the rest of the town, but it was still full of families enjoying meals together and friends gossiping away over milkshakes and their burgers. The sixties themed decor inside made it feel cozy with brightly colored booths and matching tables. A

Salen enjoyed shopping with Safiya and Brady. Her mate's Beta had a really good taste in clothes which came as a surprise to all of them. They were now using him to judge the outfits they were trying on to decide what to buy.Celus insisted Salen spended as much money as she wanted. He wanted her to get whatever she wanted to make her feel more comfortable in her new home.Safiya emerged from behind the curtain of the changing room wearing a bright pink tanktop and white mini skirt. Celus didn't enjoy this part. He sat lazily on the couch they provided, waiting patiently for Salen. She had only come out in one outfit so far that Safiya picked out, earning an immediateno from both of the guys. It was a very short black dress paired with a jean jacket and nude stockings."What do you think?" Safiya asked, twirling around in her short skirt as she tried to finish tucking in her tanktop."Safiya, honey," Brady sat up with his elbows resting on

Celus locked himself in his office again as soon as they got home. Brady just gave Salen a shrug, taking Safiya's hand in his and leading her to their room. "I'm sorry. Try and talk to him." He called over his shoulder, leaving her bummed and alone. With a deep breath she ascended the stairs and tucked her shaking hands into her pockets. The office door was cracked so it made it easy for Salen to peak in. The once well put together room was now destroyed. His desk was flipped over, paper and books scattered all over the floor. The curtains were ripped from the wall and paintings were shredded. In the middle of the chaos, Celus sat with his head in his hands on the floor. He gripped his hair while streaming curse words. Reaching down in anger, he grabbed the closest book to him and whipped it at the wall leaving a dent. Salen jumped at the loud crash catching his attention. His head snapped to the door, catching a glimpse of her light blonde hair.

Celus gripped his phone in his hand, building up the nerve to call his uncle. He felt foolish denying him a few days ago only to call him up and asking to come later. Salen sat supportive across from him in one of his office chairs. Celus set the phone down on his desk with a sigh before picking it up again and holding it to his ear. He dialed his uncle's number before he lost the nerve and listened to it ring. "Hello?" His uncle's deep voice echoed from the other end. Celus straightened up in his seat and cleared his throat. "This is Alpha Celus." He winced at his formality. There was a silence on the line, the only sound passing through was rustling from movement. The sound of a door clicking made his ear perk. "Sorry. I had to go somewhere private. So, what can I do for you?" He asked, his voice becoming lighter. With a sigh and an unsure look to his mate, Celus spoke, "I'll do it." This caught his uncle's attention. "That's great!"

Monday came a lot sooner than Celus had hoped. This pack has been his home his entire life, and guilt filled him. He didn't want them to think he was ditching them.Salen was very helpful for everyone as they prepared to say goodbye. She made sure everything was in order before they left, even setting up ways for Safiya to contact Brady and come visit while they are gone. Safiya has been bawling her eyes out, but she was supportive of her mate. She knew this was a big opportunity for him, and she wasn't going to be the one to stand in the way of that."Are you okay?" Brady asked, emerging from his room with a bright blue suitcase in his hand. He smiled wide, but an empty feeling was already starting to form in his stomach at the thought of being separated from his mate for so long."I'm fine. I'm just thinking." Celus grumbled, taking one last look around the pack house with dread."It's going to be okay. Your pack will be fine." He patted him on the shou

Brady ushered his Alpha and future Luna out the front door of the castle with bubbling enthusiasm. They received curious glances and whispers which Celus returned with threatening growls."Be nice." Salen smiled, smacking his check lightly."No. I heard what they said." He remained serious and ridgid as they walked through the garden. A variety of flowers lined the stone pathway with colors of blue and purple. A patch of red roses clashed with the others, their large ceramic pot sitting next to a large decorative bench."This place is nice." Brady looked around, admiring the area as pack members enjoyed the outdoors with their families.Suddenly his phone began to ring in his pocket. When he saw the picture that lit up the screen, his face brightened."Sayifa!" He squealed, pressing his phone tightly to his ear. "I miss you so much!" He began pacing the lawn, fully immersed in his conversation."He's right. It is nice here." Salen looped her

Celus threw the front door of the castle open, alarming loitering members. They looked him over as they whispered, and Salen rested her hand on his back to keep him focused on what they were there to do."We need to find Alpha Landrews." She pointed. Brady nodded along next to her. He was prepared to grab on to Celus to keep him from attacking any one of the gossiping wolves in the main hall.Celus just nodded, knowing they were both right. They had more pressing issues to deal with first. He released the doors from his tightened grip and let them swing closed."I'm sorry, but we're looking for King Landrews." Brady gave them all a friendly smile over Celus' towering shoulders. A young man took a step forward and pointed up one of the staircases."He's in his office." He told them, his voice slightly shaky as he lowered his wavering arm."Thank you." Brady bowed his head to him and followed Celus up the many stairs. His footsteps echoed through the

Monday came quickly after the incident with Kristopher. Landrews stuck to his word and assigned three guards to keep a close watch on him.Celus was currently getting ready for training. He just pulled out a pair of navy blue shorts and a light grey t-shirt Salen had packed for him and slid them on quickly.To say he was nervous would be an understatement. He was mostly terrified, but he wouldn't let anyone know that.He stood in front of the mirror once he finished brushing his teeth and looked himself over. His hair was just brushed through haphazardly, and his eyes showed signs of exhaustion but he just pushed it away."You guys are going to do great." Salen hugged him from behind and sighed. "Just be careful, okay?" Celus spun around and smiled down to her."Of course." He gave her a goofy grin and bent down to place slobbery kisses on her cheek. She squealed, jumping back and swatting him away."Stop it." She giggled as she wiped her fa

Zachary was the first to make his move. He charged towards Celus, aiming for his waist. Celus just dodged him before grabbing the back of his shirt and shoving him to the mat.Zachary groaned as Celus released him, helping him up off the ground. They took their positions again before Zachary once again charged. This time Celus gripped his shoulders and threw him back, far enough to land off of the mat."Sorry." Celus grumbled, wincing when he hit the dirt. Zachary just stood up and dusted his clothes off. His breathing grew heavier as he held up his hand signaling he needed a second.Celus turned towards his Beta. Brady was being pinned down by Elijah, his face pressed tightly to the mat. Elijah got close to his ear and let out a low growl. This only angered Brady; he lifted himself up and flipped him over his shoulders onto his back with a 'huff'.Celus was drawn back to his opponent when he was knocked to the ground. He groaned, looking up to s
