LOGINCeline's POV:
I glanced behind one last time to keep the memories with me in my heart. I barely had any good ones but my friend Layla, was one of the very few good things I would cherish forever.Alpha Tyrion had walked ahead of me and I had to run behind to chase him. It was embarrassing enough because the pack females were making fun of me. Others were jealous too and claimed to be dumb because they should have done that.I, the ugly duckling, got the most handsome man to ever exist.As he was talking to Alpha Kai, I finally noticed his features. He was a lot taller than everyone around him, golden brown streaks of hair highlighted his head, his light piercing blue orbs casted a spell on everyone whenever he made eye contact. And that small dimple on his left cheek whenever he was smiling or in a deep thought added to his handsomeness.Meanwhile, I was nothing a normal 18 year would look like. A set of green dull orbs. Brown hair. Average height, smaller than others. Even my wolf was small."Celine, listen to me. " It was my father, " I want you to make a place in the palace. Get the information of the treasure. And steal those expensive jewels. "I bit my lip nervously, " But sir… I can't do that. ""Do you even know you have already ruined such a good plan?! Now, we have less time. Don't get pregnant easily. Or if you do, just kill it. "Nothing made sense to me. Was this his plan all along?"How could you? " I cried."Keep your mouth closed. If you try to tell anyone about it, I will kill your friend. You have been nothing but a burden. " He said."Don't you dare hurt her… ""If you get me the treasure's location, I will tell you about your real parents. How I stole you from them! "He stole me… Oh, that wasn't surprising. Alpha Tyrion was watching us with lots of curiosity and I didn't want him to raise doubts against me."Okay." I whispered.I saw Alpha Tyrion approaching us and my father hugged me, pretending to cry upon my leave."I will come to meet you next month. " He said.Alpha Tyrion gave a disgusted sigh and I saw him getting back in the car. Other Alphas surrounded him as he was about to sit."How can you leave your beautiful Luna behind? "Oh, dang. They were teasing him. I wasn't beautiful. Neither did he want me.He ignored them and I hurriedly settled in the car. The driver ignited the engine and the car raced out of the pack borders within a few minutes. My heart went to do the anxious dance again.'Baby, I am waiting for you… I haven't been able to get any sleep in your absence. I also got my hair done like you love them. They're brown now. Your cute brunette… I can't wait to be your Luna. Come back because I have big news. Love you, Ty. 'I heard the voice of a sweet female as he played the voice note on his phone. That must be his lover. The chosen mate. Because I was his fated mate…"Fuck! " He muttered."Sorry… "He choked my throat and my head slammed against the glass of the window."You must be enjoying my misery. Finally, you ruined my life and got a little luxury. Do you even know what love is? You greedy gold digger. "He finally let go of my neck and I panted for more air. I controlled the tears but they didn't stop from falling on my hand."Cry! Howl! I don't care. "The whole car ride passed with me sobbing and trying to not make any noise. He didn't give me any attention. He was busy thinking about his lover and how he was going to tell her which I understood.My father was so mean and cruel."Stop the car. " He asked his driver.We were in the middle of the city market and I didn't find any other person who could be waiting for us here."Step out and buy something for you. "I blinked at him, confused by his words."I don't need anything… "He scoffed, " I am not gifting you. You look homeless in this gown. Buy something decent and get dressed in the changing room. "He threw a card at me and I gripped it between my fingers.How could I tell him that I had never bought anything? That I had never been to such a luxurious place before.But I got out of the car when he glared at me for the last time.I made my way to the shop and peeked inside from the window. It was so expensive and rich Lunas or royal females were doing their shopping."Where are you going? " The guard stopped me.I smiled at him, " To buy a dress. "I showed him the card but he laughed at me."Did you steal it? Get out of here! " He screamed.I gulped down the saliva forming in my throat, " No, I didn't steal it. Alpha Tyrion gave me the card. "Suddenly, his laugh vanished and he gave me a hard look from head to toes."Do you even know who he is?! Get out. " He pushed me and I was about to fall when someone grabbed me.Alpha Tyrion helped me to stand and I gripped his arm tightly."You are fired. " He said to the guard who immediately regretted pushing me away."Alpha… I… "Alpha Tyrion took my hand and walked me in the shop. The females stopped to look at him and their demeanor changed."Show her a good gown. " He told the assistant.She asked me to follow her and I looked at the beautiful, expensive gowns. Everything looked beautiful to me. I touched them to make myself believe that they were real."What would you like? " She asked."Anything… "She stared at me too but chose a red gown which was so beautiful and elegant. I knew we didn't have any extra time to waste so hurriedly got in the changing room.I caught my reflection in the mirror while coming out of the room. I looked better than before. Even if my face and hair were the same. Ugly.Alpha Tyrion had gone back to the car and I sat beside him too."You won't talk to anyone without permission. Always stay in a respected state of mind. " He turned to me, " And don't wh**e around… "I nodded because if I had opened my mouth then I would have surely cried.Finally, we reached the packhouse and I felt like throwing up at the sight of the guards and those high walls.Would they kill me?What if his lover attacks me?!"Alpha, will you protect me as your mate? "My question caught him by surprise and he waited for me to explain myself."Please don't let anyone hurt me. I promise I will listen to whatever you say. "Something shifted in his eyes, " If you think Ava will hurt you then you are wrong. She's a very sweet and gentle lady. But I can assure you that nobody abuses anyone in my pack. "That was enough for me to feel better because I was tired after getting beaten up each and every day by my father."Thank you. How old are you, Alpha? ""Why do you want to know? Do you need to know if I am getting old soon? " He snarled.I shook my head, " No.. That's not what I meant. "The car stopped in front of the palace. The driver got out and opened the door for him."27… ""Tyrion!! " I heard a girl screaming at the top of her lungs and she came running to get closer to the car. As I stepped out, her smiled vanished and she looked at me and Alpha Tyrion.I decided to move away to give them privacy but Alpha Tyrion put his arm around my waist as more people started flowing in to see him."Who's she, Ty? " The beautiful girl asked."My mate. "And she snapped. Without giving me a second, I felt a sharp pain across my cheek and she gripped my hair, making me fall down on the floor and kicked me in the guts."I am your mate. You can't prank me like that! " She screamed, raging like a bull."Ava, don't hurt her. It's not a joke. "He helped me to get up and I hid behind him to protect myself from the mean girl."I am calling Father. She is going to die, Ty. I swear… "Celine’s POV: “Yes, you are pregnant, my dear. But it is still very early to decide for sure how many pups there are.” The old woman’s words were meant to be comforting, but they only served to solidify the impossible reality.Before the rush of maternal joy, fear, and grief could fully crash over me, I was instantly yanked back to the immediate danger by the mention of that looming, terrifying man.I seized the woman’s hand, my fingers digging into her wrist, and looked up at her through a veil of hot tears. “Please, you cannot tell him. If he knows, he will put me and my child in immense danger! You must swear to me you won’t tell the Dragon King.”The woman’s gentle face crumpled with sorrow, and she shook her head slowly. “My dear child, I understand your fear, but you must understand our reality. We are required to share every single moment of your life here with him, otherwise, we all could be in very huge trouble. You have no idea of the anger he holds. Everyone is scared of h
Celine’s POV: The first thing that brought me to reality wasn't sight, but sound: a soft, pervasive ripple of women's voices, hushed and melodic, like waves lapping against a distant shore. My body was an intense, throbbing ache, a dull protest in every limb, but the gentle noise eventually pulled me through the fog.When I forced my eyes open, the light was soft, filtered through high, arched windows. I was in a grand room, far too rich for any place I knew, and immediately, my vision was filled with faces. A circle of women, dressed in simple but high quality linen robes, were surrounding the bed, their expressions shifting from intense worry to radiant, almost startling joy.“She’s awake!” one of them whispered, relief thick in her voice.Panic clawed at my throat, overriding the pain in my muscles. I pushed myself up, my head swimming. “Where am I? What is this place?” I demanded, trying to find strength I didn’t have. “I need to go home, back to my mate. He’ll be frantic.” Thoug
Alpha Tyrion's POV: "What the fuck is happening with her? " I shouted angrily, " Where is she? " With more than two hundred wolves by my side, I checked each and every corner of the woods. Even when she didn't come home, I had gone out to search her myself. My wolf had tried to link connection with her thousands of time. Aunt Emerald had come back badly injured and her condition was critical for almost twenty four hours. Without Celine by my side, I couldn't even breathe properly. Calle had again dared to touch her and he was going to die this time. I knew leaving him in an isolated dungeon with no guards was a grave mistake. And even worse than that was letting Celine go alone that day. I thought she was strong enough to handle everything. Even stronger than me. Her Aunt was her side, I had never expected her to be gone just like that. When the first fatal wound was inflicted on her, my wolf had cried in the same amount of pain as her. I couldn't find Aunt emerald in the pack h
Celine's POV : The scent of wet mud was the first thing which brought me back from the unconscious state. As I opened my eyes, I found myself staring at a wall and a lamp which was hung on it. I looked around myself and realised I was locked inside some sort of dungeon. My hands were tied behind my back and when I tried to shift, I fell a sharp pain in my body. 'I can't do anything now. The bitch betrayed us! ' Belinay roared but her voice just came out as a whisper since she was too hurt to speak. 'Did she use wolfsbane on us? ' I asked, horrified. 'Yes, not only this but she has gotten me under a spell which is Sucking out all my powers! ' She cried out in pain. With a lot of force, I roughly pulled the chains from my hands but an electric shock passed through my body, making me fall on my stomach. This was useful and I couldn't find anything else to get out of here. But why did Aunt Emerald do it? She was my mom's sister who suffered the same fate as her. Did Calle manipulat
Celine's POV :'Whatever or whoever it is, we need to wait. Remember, we promised Alpha Tyrion about sharing everything first. ' Belinay was right and I was not going to respond back to the voice. And for the stranger mind link, it had to be Calle. There was no one who would go to certain lengths to make me feel insecure of my big day. 'You don't need to be worried about it anymore. I am never going to hide anything from him. 'I heard a soft knock on the door and two maids entered with their heads bowed down and face lit up with a smile. They were in our ancient traditional attire especially designed for the crowning day. "We bow down to the Luna and ask for her permission to take her to the crowning ceremony. " I felt a smile spreading on my lips. They were so delighted to have said that royal sentence almost content that they got to be a part of it. A part of my life. "Yes, please. " With both of them on my either sides, I walked to the palace royalty chamber which was decora
Celine's POV : It took my brain a few seconds to register the statement and then the reality hit me. The crowd had gathered around the well and I could hear Ava's sounds of crying for help. Before I could go and save her, I saw Alpha Jonathan himself standing at the boundary of the well and he jumped in to help her out. "Dad... " She said, in a half conscious state. "Why did you think I will just let you die? You could have once talk to me. Even after all the mistakes you did, I have always forgiven you. Haven't I? " "I didn't know how I could survive without your support. I felt like being lost in the darkness. " She cried again. Alpha Jonathan hugged her more, " Let's go to the pack. I will take care of you. I don't want to lose my daughter because of silly people and their stupid lives. " As I stood there, my gaze fixed upon the retreating figures of Ava and her father, Alpha Jonathan, a wave of anger passed through me. They were the sole reason for everyone's mi
