Beep…beep…beep….That continuous beeping sound is driving me crazy. Can someone turn it off?I was slowly waking up and I felt so groggy. Wow, these sheets are so soft.I used my hand to feel the table and shut the alarm that was blaring.I tried opening my eyes and they were taking so long. My lids were very heavy and they hurt.When I finally managed to pry them open, the stream of light from the open window entered right into them and caused me discomfort.I hissed and used my hand to try to block out the sun from blinding me.I looked around the room slowly and realized, I don't know where I am but it sure looks very fancy.What happened when I ran into that smoke? Who came for me?Just then, someone opened the door and entered the room. It took me a second to react but when I did, my eyes widened.“You… Alpha Christian'' I said in surprise. I wasn't expecting that at all.“Celeste. How are you feeling?”, he said it politely.This was the man I had respected but feared from afar.
“What?!”, said Alpha Christian in astonishment. I've come to understand that people tend to do whatever he wants.The fact that I had blatantly disobeyed his orders and came downstairs with what I was saying, the surprise was clearly painted on his face.He came close to me and gave me a pointed look. If I could read his mind, I would love to know what he was thinking right now.“What exactly do you mean, you want to fight?” He said in a low tone, still looking at me like I had lost my marbles.“It's not exactly Chinese I'm speaking. I want to train, with you” I said pleading.“You are in no shape, you were tortured for days. Goddess! You're supposed to be in bed resting. What about that don't you understand?” He said, exasperated.I huffed and took a look around. If he wasn't going to train me, then someone else would have to.He noticed what I was doing and before I could say anything, I was being hauled like a ragdoll and the next thing I knew I was staring at a broad back.“Hey! L
I wasn't expecting that question from him. For as long as I could remember, nobody even asked me that question anymore.It's pretty much general knowledge that I don't know my mother. I've never even seen a picture of her till this very day.I mean I didn't really expect him to know this, being the Alpha and all. He had bigger and more important things to do.But why was it bugging me that he didn't know either?It wasn't his fault I grew up motherless. I had a father who was loving and present enough to overlook the fact that she wasn't there.Though it still hurts that I didn't get to meet her. Didn't know if she was dead, or if she ran away. What if she abandoned me for a better life.I don't like indulging this part of my life a lot because it was very disturbing. And sad.So taking a deep breath and brassing myself I turned to him. “I don't know my mother” I say to him, watching him carefully for his reaction.He huffed and walked back into the room, looking rather annoyed.“Ther
“Uhh Celeste?” Alpha Christian has been trying to talk to me for the past five minutes but I'm in a state of shock. But if he found me, isn't he supposed to tell me? There wasn't any way for me to know yet so it was up to him to let me know. It's probably because of the whole kidnapping thing that made the whole situation strained but still. It felt kind of surreal that he found me and didn't let me know. He shook me one more time before I finally snapped out of the trance-like state I was in. “I….this is a surprise honestly” I say to him solemnly. By the look on his face somehow he understood what I was trying to say. “It's a lot for anyone to take. I think when this is all over and you're safe and settled then you can deal with all this” he said to me softly. I nodded my head and sighed as the mood in the room had completely changed. I felt myself getting sadder and sadder by the day. My life had really turned into a sob story. It was rare for you to have a mate and not meet
It was very late at night, so hearing someone knocking on the door was enough to put Alpha Christian in protective mode.Who could be knocking on our door by this time of the night? And why didn't anyone inform him that someone was coming towards the door?We were quiet for a minute with only the sound of us breathing and the girl outside the door crying.I looked outside to see that none of the guards that were patrolling earlier were there right now.Confusion written all over Christian's face as he tried to make sense of everything.I walked slowly towards the window to check if anybody else was outside. I couldn't see anything but I could sense the change of energy.Things were tense as we moved towards the door at the same time but he signaled me to stay hidden.I did as I was told as he went to open the door. As he opened the door the girl behind it started to come into view.She slowly walked inside limping and saying ‘thank you, omg thank you’ over and over again.I watched fr
As light started to peek through the blinds, I slowly gained consciousness and my head throbbed to the beat of my heart.I was so confused about what was currently happening but I had the faintest idea.At this point I was getting used to passing out and waking up at different places. That doesn't necessarily mean I wanted it to happen again though.It all started to come back to me as I tried to sit up and gauge my environment. I was in the room I currently occupy in the house. That could only mean that Alpha Christian brought me here himself. So where was he? Where was the girl from last night?I needed answers about what happened and I wasn't going to get them sitting on this bed.Still dressed in yesterday's clothes, not even bothered to change or shower I left the room and started down the hall.If he was confident enough to leave me in that room then that meant it was safe enough to still stay here.There's still this feeling like we were out of the loop for some reason and I w
“Oh my Goddess you scared the bejeezus out of me” I said, clutching my heart when I noticed it was Alpha Christian behind me.He kept staring at me intensely. I was beginning to feel very self conscious under his stare.And because I was feeling anxious with the way he wasn't saying to me I started babbling off.“I know what it looks like but….I saw this weird looking bag on the counter and I was curious and that's why I started going through it which….now that I'm saying it out loud was very wrong for me to do because it's not proper to go through someone's bag without their consent…” I continued running off with my mouth and I didn't notice him walk towards me until he was right in front of me.“It's okay,” he said, smiling a little bit despite the situation.Cutting myself short because I didn't hear him the first time “what?” I said.“I said…” he took a piece of my hair that was falling on my eyes and put it behind my ear “it's okay” he said.I was stunned. It felt like a thousan
After Alpha Christian left me, I took it upon myself to find the nearest computer to do some research on witches and grimoires.Before today I had never met one personally, it seems I had a lot to learn if I wanted to keep my guard up against stuff like that.Also, I thought the only enemy against our kind was rival packs, silver bullets and bloodsuckers. I've been introduced to witches and I don't like the feeling of helplessness that comes with it.After checking every room I could enter save for the ones that were locked I couldn't find even one computer in sight.They weren't kidding when they said this was a safehouse and nothing more. It might have beautiful interior decoration but it was quite empty.I miss my friends. If I had my phone I would've sent a text or something to Riley but even then I know I couldn't reach her.The thought alone made me sad but I willed myself to focus on the task at hand.When I entered a room that I thought would be my last before I gave up, I sa
