"I wanted to explain, but my soul was tied up in knots"
~d.j"I can't believe you agreed" Dominic mumbles while throwing a pebble in the river, I follow the pebble until it skips a few times and disappears under the water.After I agreed, we silently walked towards the river bank and sat by it, we both were to stunned to speak for some time.I look at Dominic who throws another pebble, the muscles of his arm contract with each throw. My eyes move around, taking in his form.I Stop my gaze on his face, suddenly he turns around, his forest green eyes making contact with my own. I jump in embarrassment and look around, my cheeks flush.I hate it when someone catches you staring!"You can look as much as you want, I'm all yours you know that" Dominic teases me. I roll my eyes and turn towards him "You had something in your hairs" I point.He chuckles shaking his head, "You know you are a bad liar" he says "that's"Darkness shields as much as it threatens"~ R. Scott Bakker, The judging eyeMy brain freezes for a moment, processing the new voice."W-who is it?" I ask, I gulp down some saliva through my sudden dry throat. I widen my legs in a running stance and steady my heartbeat.'Just don't panic Celeste' I repeat these words in my mind.I look around slowly, trying to look past the trees, being a werewolf we can see in the dark but definitely not past objects."Answer me!" I hiss angrily, I could feel a building headache and anger rising within me."What is the Luna doing all alone in this forest without her guards?" the voice taunts, I try to navigate the location of the voice but it seem like it's echoing from all directions."The Luna isn't a coward like you who hides behind people or objects, I face my own problems and enemies head on" I taunt the voice back, I was trying to rile up the person for them to come
"As my story came to a close, I realised that I was the villain all along"~Unknown "Does it not hurt?" I ask Dominic while patching up his wound. He hasn't even sighed out of pain since I have started treating the wound.He silently shakes his head while keeping his gaze on the floor. We reached the pack house few minutes ago and the first thing I did was to make sure to stop his bleeding forehead, Dominic has been quite the whole time, he hasn't even lifted up his head."Dominic" I call him slowly while placing the bandages back in the first aid box. I close the box and place it aside, Dominic doesn't answer me.I sigh, I know he's upset.I take hold of his cheeks and make him look at me, his shocked green eyes meet my grey one's. "Snap out of it" I shake him a little.He stares at me with such innocence that I couldn't help but melt into his gaze, "did he hurt you?" he asks lowly, "no" I shake my head "but he did hurt you" I point at his wound."Don't worry about that, it's just
"Maybe, it was just the wrong time for us"~Autumn I sit alone on the dining table playing with my food, I glance at the entrance of the room for the hundredth time only to look away disappointed.I thought Dominic would return back for dinner but he hasn't, I think I was too harsh on him.If I put myself in his shoes I can understand his situation much better, if Theo one day rejects me and leaves me for his true mate that would be unbearable for me, although he won't do that but thinking about it makes Dominic's situation more understandable.One thing is for sure, he and I can't be together, I just need to figure out a way to end this bond without causing both of us more pain.What should I do? where do I go? my mind scrambles for possible solutions and than like a fused bulb is suddenly lit, my brain shouts one name."Hera!" I say out loud.~~~~~~~I've been standing outside the dungeon room for almost 15 minutes, contemplating if this is the right option.But this is also my onl
"The course of true love never did run smooth"~William ShakespeareI enter the pack house, still reeling from Hera's words, the bond cannot be broken without Dominic not finding out, he will instantly know that something isn't right.I need to convince him to make this process easier for the both of us.I was so deep in my thought that I didn't see the wall infront of me, I get slammed in the hard wall, two large hands are quick to hold my disbalanced form.I look up to find green eyes staring at me in amusement, "you don't want us to be together, don't want me to touch you, yet you are the one who always finds her way to me" Dominic says with a smirk.I roll my eyes at him, "you always block my way" I retort straightening myself."What were you doing in the dungeons?" his question takes me by surprise, I look at him unable to hide my surprise. "You followed me" I state accusingly, "I was just keeping an eye on you for your safety, after what happened in the jungle I can't leave you
"The best dreams are the unrealistic ones"~FarawayAs the horror of my action settle in, I decide to talk to Dominic right now about our bond.I lightly push his shoulders to move away but he only tightens his holds, my heart constricts at his action."Dominic, I need to talk to you" I mumble while trying to get away once again, he presses his lips on my shoulder giving me a sweet kiss.I close my eyes at his tenderness, "talk baby, I'm listening" he starts a trail of butterfly kisses. I wiggle a bit, "It's important" my eyes roll by the sensations my body feels because of his touch."Hmm..." he hums to busy in forming a path of kisses over my upper body. "I want to break our bond!" I finally spurt out, his body freezes instantly. His hands loosen their grip and I take that moment to pull away.I stumble back a few steps, I look around avoiding to see him for as long as I can. I don't think I would be able to see his reaction.I can't hide it, I admit that I have grown some feelings
"Maybe when the time is right you will find me again~K. TolnoeThe main door smashes open, startled I jump up from my place, Helen squeeks and quickly covers her stomach.Alex enters the house, Helen glares at him, he notices her hand and instantly regrets his action."Where is he?" I ask hurriedly, "can you specify?" he asks walking towards his mate and rubbing her belly."Theo" I say without missing a beat, both Helen and Alex stare at me quietly "I have sent my men to look for him, he's an Alpha don't worry about him. He knows how to navigate his way, he'll be back soon" Alex answers with a tired sigh."And what about Dom?" I ask, "Dom?" Helen questions with a raised brow "Dominic" I correct myself. "He's in the pack hospital, Theodore did a number on him but he'll be fine by the morning" Alex reassures me.After I confessed to Dominic being my mate everyone just stopped including Theo, he gave me a look that showed how shell shocked he was and the next thing I see him changing in
"I'll see you when the road decides it's time for our paths to cross again"~ B.M. "We need to talk" after saying those words Theo turns around towards the direction of the forest, I silently follow him, not afraid of going to the forest at this hour because I knew he would never harm me.We walk for a good 10 minutes until we are deep inside with nothing but trees to see around. Theo walks by a large tree and puts his hand over it. I move closer and see what he's doing.I see he is tracing his fingers over the markings carved in the tree, I instantly realize that a wolf must have died or been killed here by rogues.Whenever a werewolf is close to dying or brutality bruised by rogues they run to the forest and prefer dying close to a specific tree, there is an ancient theory among us that the trees provide calming waves to a dying werewolf which makes the death less painful and when the soul leaves our body it transfers inside the tree and grows with it until the end of time.In othe
"For someone who doesn't want to lose me, you don't act like you want to keep me"~ J.B.Silence.Complete utter silence is what follows my answer, Theo is the first one to react, he runs to me engulfing me in a warm hug, he peppers my face with kisses.His eyes are wet but his face is elated, his face is lit like a Christmas tree, it's like he got his early Christmas present this year.I look over at Dominic, my eyes widen when I find him on the floor on his knees, Alex beside him holding him while Helen rubbing his shoulders with teary eyes.Theo follows my gaze, I don't see a bit of sympathy in them but their isn't any anger as well."I think you should end this properly" he turns to me and tells me, I look at him shocked than back at a broken Dominic, can I do it? can I hurt him more."Celeste we need to leave, end this now" Theo pushes me in a softer tone but the persuasion in his tone can't be missed.I don't respond to him, I only stare in his eyes. "I know it's hurting, it may
