Celeste sighed as she rose up to a sitting position on the bed, rubbing at her eyes. She was sick, the dizziness from last night had dulled, but it still hadn't eased up yet, and even though that was bad, she was glad that Xavier was by her side.
Unlike every other morning, he hadn't left before she woke up, he was here, trying his best to take care of her. He brought her food and of course forced her to eat it, he brought her to the bathroom and they had brushed their teeth together and he brought her back to the room and they were now laying together.But Celeste was tired of just laying down, she wasn't used to it. She wanted to go out and train, she wanted to once again try to beat Xavier in a game of chase, but she doubt he'd let her step through the door... at least not without him.Sighing again, she turned to look at him. "Can I go outside?""This again? Celeste go to sleep...""I don't want to sleep, I tried...I just can't..."Zillon twisted and turned and tried his best to get some sleep for tomorrow's search, but no matter how hard he tried, he wasn't able to...His mind kept going back to Celia's cell, he kept wondering what she meant when she said the time would soon come...She sounded so sure of something, but Zillon couldn't comprehend what exactly she was so sure of... His mind kept telling him that something bad would happen to Celeste and everytime he thought that way his heart would ache...He hated how oblivious to everything he was... To her location...her situation...to any and everything that could and have already happened to her.He hated how incompetent he was, he wasn't worthy to be her mate if he couldn't protect her, and if he couldn't protect his mate, how would he be able to protect a pack?Sighing he adjusted his head on the pillow, looking up at the ceiling, he wondered if she was okay, he wondered if she was happy wherever she was...
Xavier left hours ago after boldly telling her that if she wasn't done showering and ready for bed by the time he came back, it'd be war...Celeste was geared and ready for war though. Her headache was now gone and she had meant it when she said that she wouldn't step into that bathroom until the hour hand of the clock hit 10.He shouldn't have made up such a believable ghost story or was she the idiot for really believing? She wondered when he'd come back..she was ready now and it was already around 9:50...He better be back soon because honestly she'd like to see what he defined as war. He had never declared war before, no matter what she did, but tonight his statement had aroused excitement within her.He was an idiot and she was an idiot...what kind of war would they really have?Celeste giggled, shuffling on the steps by his door. He said that he was going show her how evil he was, and she'd undoubtedly like to see it...He
All Zillon could see were trees, nothing but trees as he ran through the woods. He was in his wolf form, the passing wind slithering through his dark gray furr as he sped like flash through the night.The trackers were upfront, their nose being their eyes which made it quite logical for them to lead the way. Behind Zillon was Liam and Fredd, but not only them, you could hear the running feet of a loyal pack...men ready to go to war for him and their Luna if they ever had to.He didn't ask them to come, but it seems they knew he was anxious, they knew he was desperate. He caught them all in the bushes beyond his house, hiding as though he couldn't scent them.He had been so cruel to them these past months and yet they were still by his side...how commendable...Zillon skidded to a stop when the trackers up front did so, they're nose buried in the dirt as they scented it out. It was very dark out, the moon was only half full tonight and if it weren'
Gabriel shoved Xavier's door open and looked inside frantically. "Alpha... there's a war outside, one wolve and yet it seems as though he's a thousand, he had taken down 5 of our best men in just seconds, he keeps trudging forward, he looks rabid, his eyes are red...alpha only you can save us...please."Xavier lifted Celeste off of him, turning towards her. "Go with Gabriel, he'll take you to safety...""Bu—"He kissed her forehead. "Go baby..." And then he rushed out of the room, transforming into his wolf almost instantly, his torn clothes on the grass outside was the only thing left of him as he sped off into the distance, his black wolf as dark as the night. Up ahead, he could see the dark, gray wolf, tearing his pack members apart with little effort...he knew the wolve's scent; freshly chopped woods and lotus flower...It was so familiar to him... His brother, the same one who had stolen everything away from him and now he
Celeste dreaded the fact, but she was back at a place that used to be her nightmare...This place that had shown her more monsters than she could count...This place that had forced her to hide in a shell...This place that had made her lose herself...This place and the people in it who had stumped on her heart until it was in pieces...She hated that she was back and she hated Zillon for bringing her back. She screamed at him, she cried to him and yet he still let them take her.Gabriel had stepped forward, but what would he have done?If Xavier couldn't win the fight, could he?She didn't want to see anymore blood spill, she didn't want to see anybody else die, especially not him. He was a close friend to her, him and Davia were like her sister and her brother. If one of them had gotten hurt, then she would've surely gone mad.But she had left them behind safely, they were with tears on their faces,
Zillon's heart was like a feather in his chest as he approached who he had been craving to see, to touch for months. Her eyes were still as bright as ever, the blue prettier than the ones that coloured the oceans and the sky. Her hair was just like he remembered it; blond and long and utterly beautiful... Her lips too were still as perfect as the very first time he laid eyes on them...Everything about her was flawless, she hadn't changed a bit, she was still the same beautiful Celeste who was gifted to him by the goddess herself. She was the girl he loved, the only one for him.He was so happy to have found her, he might've went on rampage, he might've killed people who were probably dear to her, but she was Celeste, she'd forgive him, she'd always forgive him...Caging her against the wall, he looked down at her beauty, honestly lost in it. Her scent though tainted by Xavier's was still the best thing his nose had ever scented in his life. He brushed her
Celeste wasn't sure if she was suppose to feel guilty or victorious. Zillon was now going through all the pain she had previously felt, but Liam's words kept rolling around her head.He said something about Zillon enduring enough, but had Zillon yet to endure all that she had?Had he yet to feel all the pain and sufferings she had to bear...all the heart ache, the unpleasant desperation and the unrequited love?She was sure he hadn't and even if he had, she wouldn't care... She had moved on and he needed to do the same...Sighing, she took a seat on the edge of her bed, it was still night and she still hadn't gotten any sleep...she kept thinking back to the awful occurings that took place only hours ago, the blood, the unfortunate deaths, and Xavier.She wondered if he had woken up yet, she wondered if he was okay... That poor man, he had been so confident that Zillon would never be able to find them even if he tried...That nigh
"What? Are you really taking her to see that traitorous bastard? Lock her back in her room, we had lost enough because of that fool, do you want to lose her too?"Zillon shook his head. "I know that, it's just tha—""Lock her back into her f*cking room, don't go soft because of her... isn't she the one you said you'd protect?""Yes bu—"Liam took the keys from his pocket, throwing it to Zillon. "If you insist on going, then do...hurt yourself even more, but I don't want to be there to watch."Zillon caught the keys, gritting his teeth as he walked towards the front door. He understood Liam's worry, he really did, but what could he do?Celeste wished to see him and on top of that, the claims against his brother weren't yet confirmed. They hadn't interrogated him yet and mom and dad...They were incessant on seeing him first. After all, it's been almost 10 years since they've seen their long lost son. They probably felt ov
