I am sitting in the library with my bestfriend, Anna, and a few of our Course-mates as we reverse on some topics for the last exam of the semester. I was silent, not altering a word for my mind was occupied with the dream I had last night-I wouldn't exactly call it a dream, more like a memory mocking me. The words that broke my heart into a million pecies still fresh and replaying itself like a broken record in my head.
"You're a psycho Celeste, i can't be mated to you. You're fat and disgusting. You are not fit for a luna."
"Andrew, wh-what are you sa-saying?" I asked my mate, my voice craking and tears streaming from my eyes. I know what was to come, he was going to reject me. The disgust and hatred he held for me clearly showing in his eyes.
"I, Andrew Walter, soon to be alpha of crestfall pack reject you Celeste Sampson as my mate and future luna to the crestfall pack."
My eyes, glistering with tears and my my eyes stings from trying to keep them in. I take in a deep breath, blinking rapidly to keep the tears from falling.
I look at my left to where Anna was seated and see her giving me a concerned look, I could tell she was about to ask me what was wrong and I shake my head telling her that I was okay. I know she didn't believe me but I was also glad that she didn't push it.
Instead of thinking of my ex-mate Andrew, I decid to focus my attention back on my studies.
*****
When I got to my dorm later that evening, I collapse down onto my bed and stare up at my ceiling. I reached for my phone that was in my bag and saw seven missed calls from my mother.
"Shit" I cussed under my breath. I shake my head already knowing why she was calling.
My fingers, gingerly hooked over mom's name and I quickly clicked on the call button before I have time to back out. Placing the phone to my ear, I listen to it ring and ring before she picked it.
"Hi, mom," I breathe out. "How are you doing?"
"Celeste!" Mom's voice said loudly making me take the phone from my ear before she damages my eardrums.
"I have been calling your phone for hours."
"I was busy with college, mom" I tell her using my right hand to take my hair out of it's bun.
"Yeah, yeah." she said. I could tell she was rolling her eye at what I said.
"So,I and your dad was hoping if you could come home for Christmas this year." mom asked.
She has been asking me every Christmas for the past three years to come home but she knows I can't. I close my eyes using my hand to rub my temple. I couldn't deal with this.
"I can't mom," I gritted out trying my best to no lash out. She knows I couldn't go back to crestfall especially with Andrew been the new Alpha of my old pack.
After Andrew rejected me as his mate, I moved to New York after high school and tried starting a new life. I am currently at my last year in New York University and studying to become a phycologist.
"Oh come on Celeste!" Mom shouted, "We haven't seen you in three years, We miss you sweetie."
I closey eyes tightly and puff out a breath. Andrew shouldn't be the reason why I shouldn't see my family. He moved on and I should too.
"Okay, I'll be home this chrismas mom." I told her. I couldn't let my jack ass of a mate ruin me and plus, I had to accept his rejection to stop the pain feel whenever he fucks another female.
I heard her gasp into the phone. "That's wonderful baby! See you in a week."
"Okay mom" I replied a big smile forming in my fave from her enthusiasm.
"Love you baby" Mom said.
Before I could reply, the call beep signaling that she has hung up. Slamming the phone on my bed. I got up and decided to run a little to blow off some steam. I put on my running gears and walked out my dorm room meeting Anna at the other side about to open the door.
"Celeste, where are you going to?" She asked looking confused.
"I'm going for a run" I tell her by passing her, I was not in the mood to make conversations. I know I am a little bit hard on her but I just can't help it.
I walked around campus, making my way to the forest at the back of campus. I started jogging slowly when I came close to the woods, I looked around extremely grateful that it was deserted. I liked it more when it's silent.
I ran for about 10 minutes and decided to shift into my wolf form. It's been long I let her out.
"Fuck" I said loudly as my bone reformed into it's nature. My bones craked loudly into the silent forest, my senses highlightens. After shifting into my wolf form, I stretched then started running.
I took into a full sprint with my tongue hanging from my mouth. I ran for about 40 minutes then stopped at the a stream. I was about to take a drink from it when I heard a branch crack. I turned around searching for the source of the noise but came up with nothing then I took a deep sniff of my surrounding and almost gag from the terrible smell. Rouges.
I growled loudly letting them know that I knew they were hiding behind the large trees. Three brown wolfs came out, their red eyes glaring at my green ones.
I had two options 'Fight or Flight' and guess what? I choose to flight. I wasn't stupid to stay and fight three dangerous wolves knowing they would tear me to pieces within one minute.
I turned around and run as fast as i can Making my way back to my dorm. I let out a bark when one if the rouges bit my tail. That fucking hurt you motherfucker.
I live in a human populated area and I have never encountered any rouges and I have only ever met two lycans for the past three years living in New York.
I ran around the forest and finally lost the wolves chasing me. I know this woods like the back of my hand and used that to my advantage. I stopped at where I shifted into my wolf and took a long sniff making sure there was no one here. I shift into my human form, put on my gears and went back to my dorm.
********
It's been a week since the incident happened. I would have reported it if there was an Alpha around but this area is filled with humans and a few lycans. The only way the rouge problem can be handled is if its was reported the Alpha King and i sure as hell know that I won't be doing that.
I am packing a few clothes for the trip to crestfall pack, my mom already asked for a visit permit from her Alpha which of course is Andrew. My skin fills with goosebumps from the thoughts of seeing Andrew again.
Although I have not cut ties with Crestfall pack, I do not feel like I am a member of the pack. No one ever liked me anyways because I was Fat and ugly.
Yes, I was a little bit chubby but I was far from ugly. I have the perfect figure eight and no one had to tell me that because I knew.
I shoved some sweatpants in my already full suitcase and zipped it up praying to the moon goddess that it doesn't pop.
I signaled to Anna that I was ready since she will be driving me to the airport. We arrived at Delta Airlines and parked the car. We got out I brought out my suitcase and placed it on the floor drawing my coat closer to myself protecting my body from the cold.
I turn to Anna and smiled "I'll miss you" I told her hugging her.
"I'll miss you too Bitch" She whine like a child tightening her grip on me.
"Okay, Okay, now get off me" I tell her laughing a little.
I got on the plane to Kansas and take my iPod out. I plugged in my earpiece and scroll through my play list. I clicked on Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi.
I watched the flight attendant say the announcements that is usually made when the last passengers are boarding.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has turned on the Fasten Seat Belt sign. If you haven’t already done so, please stow your carry-on luggage
undern..."I rest my head and increased the volume of the music drowning everyone and everything around me.
This is going to be one hell of a fucking long week.
After three and a half hours I arrived at Kansas. I texted mom that I was already in the state before boarding a Taxi to Crestfall privately owned land which is farther away from the city and the human eyes. The ride took about fourty minutes before we arrived at a small apartment where a few patrol guards stay when guest are coming into the pack land.I came out of the car with my luggage and thanked the driver for the ride. I walked closer to the apartment but stayed a few feet from it already knowing that they would be out soon since they could sense my arrival. I looked at my chest to see a red dot there and rolled my eyes with a scoff. What harm can an average Lycan do to one of the biggest pack in USA?The door opened revealing Beta Ivan and a two other guards."Beta" I said in greeting with a flat tone"Celeste" he replied with a smirk playing on his lips as he came down the
It is now seven pm and I am doing my make-up. I put on a little amount of foundation on my face followed by some powder. I smoke out my eye and give it a winged line. I add some nude lipstick and a light blush on my cheeks. I do my hair in a formal messy braided updo. After doing my make up and hair, I picked up the bag that had my dress and slide it on I then pair it with the golden heels.I stand at the mirror hanging on my closet door and couldn't help but agree with what Josephine said at the mall today, I do look like a queen. I take my black purse laying on my bed and with my head high I go downstairs to me the rest of my family.Mom was the first to see me as I entered the living room. "You look beautiful darling" she says and everyone turns around to look at me."Thanks, mom" I mumbled suddenly shy with all eyes looking at me.Everyone tells me how beautiful I look and I thanked them and also tell
Elijah places his big hand on the small of my back then nod the the guards. The door opens and we walk in, everyone stops what they are doing and I freeze from all the stares. Elijah nodges me forward with him and we walk. Everyone parts way for us like the red sea, bowing down for their king in the process. You could tell that they were hesitant to bow because I am with him. Why would Alphas of grate packs bow to me, a nobody?I see some glaring at me while others are surprise to see their King. There are a few mummers going around but I can hear them."It's him!""Who's she?""He's hot"We walk around as Elijah greets the Alphas, some alphas went straight into business mode, asking for permission to expand their pack land and other business matters which I had no interest in. I still can't believe that the king wants me. What would this become of me? I knew fro
"Where are we going?" I asked Elijah as he takes a hold of my hand, leading me through the park. He said nothing and I roll my eyes but keep shut but after a few minutes I decide to ask him one more question. "How did you get here? And how did you know where I'd be?""I'm the king darling, I can find you whenever I want," Elijah comments, pushing his brow locks from his face. "And were going to the palace""What?!" I wispher-yelled into the dark night."I will not repeat myself" he mumbled not sparing me a glance.I scoff but let him drag Me with him. I spot a black Lamborghini that looks brand new at the road side. He opens the door for me and I get in while he also hopes in the driver's seat, turning on the car right away speeding out as he drives like a mad man.I hold on the seatbelt for dear life and my eyes open as he continues speeding around the fairly traffic."Fo
I wake up with the lights shinning on my face. I walk to the window and look out to the beautiful view out side my window. There is a nock on my door and I walk to it and open it. There, stands a maid with her head bowed."Good morning Lady Celeste, the king has requested you join him for breakfast in the dinning room" the female said. Before I can answers she hurryliy walk away and I shrug. I close the door and go into the bathroom taking a quick shower, I take out a new toothbrush from its case and brush my teeth with it. I decide to put on the clothes I wore since there is no extra.Walking through the beautiful walls of the palace, I ask a guard the way to the dinning room and he show me the way which I thank him for. The King seated at the head of the table, looks up as I enter the room with a smile."Celeste," he said my name in a whisper. "Please sit and have breakfast with me."I nod and sit next t
"Elijah, answer my question, Do you know him?" I asked him for the sixth time which he ignores.I stop walking and fold my hands together and glared at him. He looks back at me confused and when he sees my expression, he looks up at the sky and sighs."Yes, yes I know who he is""And who is he?" I asked again now walking beside him."He is the son of the rogue King" I gasped at this, "No way.""But I need to confirm if it's true" The king said, narrowing his eyes at the people we pass."Why do I need to come back to the palace with you?" I asked him another question."You're not safe here. If Derrick really is out, he's going to come back for you again and I'm sure you guys won't be having a chat this time." I shivered from his words and gulp, Who knows what he might do to me.We got to the palace and walk
For over four hours I sat in the library reading books upon books. I hear noises coming from the hallway outside the library. The low chattering of male voices has me knowing that the meeting has come to an end and the Alphas are on their way back to their packs.I stay in the library until I can't hear any more voices, then push the door open and walk out."Celeste," Someone called out to me. I turn around and there stands Eros Black in a black fitting suit."Mr Black" I answered back politely as he walks closer to me."How have you been?" He asked putting his right hand his pants pocket."I'm okay, yourself?""Good.""I heard about the rogue attack, I am so sorry it happened to you""Oh no, you don't need to be. It wasn't your fault" I told him with a smile."It kind of is," Eros sai
It's beautiful, beyond expectations. I wow at the exquisite restaurant glitters like gold. People gasp when they see their king and stop what they are doing, they bow in respect as they should then continue with that they were doing. A host leads us out of main room and into a private room.Elijah pulls out a chair for me to seat and i do so, thanking him while he also sits opposite me."It's beautiful," I told the king looking around then turn to look at him only to see his eyes on me."It is" He muttered not breaking eye contact with me.I understood What he was saying. Elijah wasn't talking about the room, no, he was talking about me that I am beautiful. I pull my hair behind my ear and pick up the menu, hiding my big fat smile from the king as a waiter comes in with a wine and pours it into our glasses.Elijah chuckles and and I bring the menu down, only showing my eyes to see what he is doing. He picks up his menu and then a waitress comes in.
