Chapter 9
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.

I groaned as I reached out to my phone ringing on the table. I clicked on the answer button without checking the callers ID."Hello?" I rasped, turning on my back and rubbing my eyes with my hand."You're in so much trouble young lady!" Moms angry voice greeted me.I sat up straight, taking my hair out of my face and mouth and scrunched my face up in confusion."What are you talking about?" I asked her, confused."Don't play dumb with me" She said."Mom, I don-" "You are all over the news," Mom added cutting me off."Shit" I cussed under my breath. I forgot that the pictures they took of I and Elijah will pop up on the werenews."Don't you dare cuss again" She muttered and I pictured her glaring at me."Sorry," i whispered softly.I could hear voices at the background and know

We've been driving for more than four hours and not one building in sight, everything we passed was just trees. I sighed for what seems to be the tenth time today. "You know, if you're bored you could just try and get some sleep and we'll be there in no time" Elijah suggested when he noticed my state. I looked at him and pout then sighed again "I slept for the past past three hours Elijah. When are we ever getting there?" I asked and he chuckled. "We're almost there" He answered and then points to a distance in the forest. I squirt my eyes to see what he was pointing at and then I saw it. Above the trees I could see smoke, probably from the chimney of their homes. My eyes brighten with excitement, knowing I would soon be out of this car. Within a few minutes, we pulled up at the coven. Men and women came out of their homes to see the invaders. Children were clutching onto their mothers skirt, peeking f

I walked over to her with a smile."Good morning" I said to her."Morning child," Hilda replied as she placed food on the table.

Groaning, I turned to my left but immediately held my head from the pain that pieced it like a thousand niddles."Fuck!" I groaned, closing my eyes tightly but it hurts. Everything hurts."Celeste?" A female voice called. I tried opening my eyes but as I did, I closed it from the glaring light of the yellow bulb hanging from the ceiling.I tried a few times before my eyesight adjusted to the light and surroundings.I was surrounded by three people, Hilda, Elijah and a woman with black hair who looks quite familiar."What happened?" I asked, looking at them as I saw the sorrow and relief on their faces.They all looked at each other, contemplating if they should answer or not."You died, Celeste" Hilda said, her eyes shinning with pity."Wh-what?" I chocked out, my mouth running dry and my heart stopped. Literally. I tried sitting up but wa

The palace comes in view and a bridge awaits, the light brown stone that goes over the river, one current and filled with fishes. I looked down to the crystal clear water as we crossed. I have never been this happy to be back on the palace ground.The car parked directly at the castle gate and we both came out. We walked into the palace with two maids behind us, holding our bags. Elijah stopped and looked at me."I have a meeting and it would take me a couple of hours before it's over" He muttered, pointing with his thumb finger behind him at the large door. With my heightened sense, I listened closely and I could hear the voices of people, Alphas chatting among themselves behind the closed door."Okay," I said and Elijah quickly swooped in for a quick kiss. I smiled at him then bit my lips gently as he gave me a smirk."See you soon" He mumbled softly, "Also, you should hide the mark" Elijah added a

I curled up on my bed, watching as the rain rolled down the window. I was numb, just staring. I had just witnessed my mates' death, the image of his headless body as it hits the floor and his dead eyes staring at me. A knock brought me out of my thoughts and sluggishly, I got up to open it."Good evening Lady Celeste, the King has sent me to escort you to his chamber" A guard said.Why the hell would I need to be escorted to a room just a few feets away from mine? Nevertheless, I followed the guard in my pajamas as he led me to his room.I stood outside Elijah's chamber and the guard bowed before leaving me standing there. I took in a deep breath before pushing the door open. Elijah was seated on his bed, shirtless might I add. A glass of wine in hand as he watched me come closer to him."Sit'" he said and I did. I sat next to him on his bed.He offered me a glass of wine which I took relu
