Celeste's POV

The pack remained eerily quiet as every house and inch of the pack was inspected. Xavier stood behind me, arm around my waist, as he linked with his warriors to confirm what we already knew. Christopher is gone. The guard to the cellars was found disoriented, saying she was struck on the head and must have passed out. She said as soon as she awoke, she linked her mate who rushed over and investigated, finding Christophers cell empty, shackles picked open. No accompanying scent was

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 31.3: Friends

    Lycer's POV"Can we go hunting?" It had been a beautiful spring day when she asked. I had been sitting up on a small boulder with her sitting on the ground below me. I was at the end of the process of untangling her unruly long hair. It took me weeks to convince her to let me give her a trim, the dead ends of her hair always making this a rather troublesome task. When she had agreed, I took time to find a pair of scissors in a nearby town, swiping them off an office desk at yet another shelter. Without the dead ends, it was easier to comb through her locks with my fingers, before twisting it into a braid."I don't know," I said in a teasing voice, "are you sure you're ready for that?" She gave a huff and I laughed, pushing myself out of my sitting position. "I would be happy to teach you how to hunt, Celestial."Her eyes went wide. "Wait, really?"I gave her a skeptical look. "Of course." I held out a hand, helping her to her feet. She brushed the dirt and leaves off from her too big

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chaoter 31.2: Friends

    Lycer's POVFrom then on, I met up with her often; never wandering too far from her group. It wasn't hard for her to break off from her group, the others her age often encouraging her to 'get lost.' I knew she would always go back to them, for the sake of her mother. But the days in which she would sit around being sad at her broken community were done. Instead, she'd come to find me."Celestial," I greeted her one day with a big grin. I wrapped my arms around her in a hug and dramatically lifted her feet off the forest floor, spinning her until her laughter echoed in the trees. A human town wasn't far from where her group and I had been traveling so I had broken off for a few days. I picked up some new clothes for myself from their local shelter. They had a book table so I picked up two of those as well. Oscar Wilde for myself and a worn copy of Jane Eyre for Celestial. "I have something for you," I said, pulling the book out of my pocket. She blinked, taking the book from my hands.

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 31.1: Friends

    Lycer's POVI had always tried to stay out of the business of others. The more you get involved, the more trouble you find yourself in. And from my experience, the more trouble you find yourself in - the more those you love will get hurt.But years ago. . . Years ago I couldn't help it.I was young and I longed for community. I had already learned of the ways communities could be ripped apart and ripped away. I guess that's why I felt such sympathy for the small girl in that group of rogues. At first, I followed the group. They seemed to be a displaced pack; full of teens, children, and women. I wanted to befriend them at first, thinking maybe I could fit in. Afterall, despite my mental developments and trauma, I was technically their average age range.They played games and had some laughs. I wanted to laugh. I wanted to play. I was quickly coming to the acceptance that, despite my longing, it wasn't in the cards of reality for me. Even if they did accept an outsider such as myself (

    Celeste's POVXavier has always had this certain charm about him. I don't mean his looks, though those certainly don't hurt a girl's heart. I mean. . The way he cares for others around him. The way he's protective of his friends, his pack - his family.After the Welcome Ceremony, he helped the pack members clean up. I watched as he helped carry tired kids to their nearby homes or their parents' cars out front. As soon as the yard was cleared and the bon fire was put out, he asked if I would spend the night again in his room. He said he had to get up early to get back to business having to deal with the rogues but that he wanted to wake with me beside him. I had blushed when he said that. And then I spent half the night, staring at him as he soundly slept beside me. And then, true to his word, he got up early and went straight to his office. He had kissed my head and told me to find him for lunch but instead I had taken my study books from my tutor and dragged them into his office.I t

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 29: The Man

    Third Person POVThe sky was dark as the two figures made their way towards the mountain they'd been trekking towards for four days now. The werewolf stumbled, no longer used to the forest grounds like he once was only so many years ago. The experiment walked like he'd walked this path a hundred times, and perhaps he had. "We're almost there." The two approached a house, seemingly built into the side of the mountain. The house was cutesy, much to the werewolf's surprise. Blue shingles and a white exterior, it had a flower garden in the yard out front. It was the only house for miles yet it seemed perfectly placed against the mountain, as if a perfect retreat from the outside world. The werewolf was surprised when the experiment began to head towards the house. The front door opened silently and the inside was just as cute as the outside, with blue furniture that had little frilly pillows and decorative blankets. The werewolf's eyes furrowed. The two walked through the house, into a ki

    Celeste's POVFrom the minute I woke up, my stomach was in knots. I spent an extra fifteen minutes in the shower; combing through every tangle in my hair, shaving every inch of visible skin (almost cutting myself in the process as it was maybe my third time shaving), and being overall stuck in my head about tonight. Last night ended wonderfully. Everyone danced the night away, ate amazing barbeque, and caught up with the former Alpha and Luna. They told stories of their travels that made me feel as if I was glimpsing into mine and Xavier's future. Him and I, hand in hand as we sail around the canals of Amsterdam. Xavier, leading me through the streets of France or Germany.But today was supposed to be about me. Everyone watching as Xavier introduces me to and welcomes me to the pack. Everyone saying some form of hello, probably asking me questions about myself and my history. The thought of all that attention was making me extremely anxious. I ran to the bathroom, feeling like I was g

    Celeste's POVI woke, tingling with sparks and jostling. I blinked several times before opening my eyes. My sight was blurry from sleep but I could make out Xavier's form as he carried me. I didn't care where we were going as long as I could stay this comfortable. I snuggled further into his hold,

They give me confused looks, Josh's is easier to read than Jacob. "Josh," I point to him, "Jacob," I poi
