Xavier's POV

'Celeste, go to my office.' The woods are filled with growls. I could be going faster, getting to the action quicker. Instead, I'm focused on Celeste who is apparently wandering the pack house. Her lack of response brings another twinge of agitation. Goddess, I love this girl but sometimes she doesn't think about non immediate factors. Factors like I'm going to get myself killed by putting too much of my focus onto her if she doesn't get to safety sooner. Yes, I'm sure the packhous

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 58: Fucking Useless

    Third Person POVIt cost Malum almost every fund he had stashed away and what he took from several experiments personal supplies to replace enough wolfsbane to get back to work. Nevermind, the faerie he killed in the marketplace. His blood was the necessary ingredient Malum just couldn't shell out the funds for.After sending out Karlin and several other experiments to find the runaways, Malum had Christopher brought to his lab. Strapped to the table, covered in bruises and split skin, the wolf laid just beginning to come to. Malum tapped his foot as he waited for Christopher to wake up.The wolf began to stir.His vision was blurry when he first came to, a mixture between the swelling of a fresh black eye and the wolfsbane just barely fading from his system. When he saw Malum's still face, his breath hitched.Malum tapped a vial against his palm."Werewolf blood was once so easy to come by." Christopher tried to regulate his breathing and blink the grogginess from his eyes. He found

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 57.2: Coming Home

    Celeste's POVThe woods feel colder than they did when we left the caves. A wind nips at my face and I can feel the moisture of oncoming snow. I shiver, pulling my coat tighter to me."It'll be almost a straight path East, if I'm correct." Lycer pokes at my hand as I turn my back to our temporary shelter. An encompassing feeling of gratitude warms my chest as I think of the kindness Leroy gave us."Right. And how do we know we're going in the right direction?" I find myself catching up with his stride, trying to ignore the ache in my legs. They're starting to heal, finally; I can feel it. He looks in my direction, giving a soft smile. His smiles used to be bigger."We'll follow the sun's path. Rises in the east, sets in the west. Might be a bit skewed but from my memory, your pack has a large chunk of land. We should hit it either way." I nod. I guess I never really thought of that. The sun is just another star and it will guide our way. "How are you feeling?""Better," I shrug, "I gu

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   57.1: Coming Home

    Celeste's POVLycer let me sleep in.I wanted to be mad at him but how could I be? For the first time in who knows how long, I felt actually rested. Well, as rested as I could be with my limbs protesting every move. My shoulder ached and the rest of my wounds burned. Even air brushing against the burns on my legs brought a hiss from my lips.I waited until Lycer was actually asleep to allow my curiosity to get the best of me. Leroy seemed like a nice enough guy from the brief encounter we'd had with him. He let us stay here and for that I was incredibly grateful. My mind still felt a bit slow and I could feel a lingering sluggish lag in every step as I looked at the knickknacks on the shelves around the living room. A little rocking horse was the first thing to catch my eye. It was hand carved and I could see where the movements went smoothly versus where they were a sharper moment. It was given a small cloth saddle that had yellowed from time. Seashells lined several spots on the she

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 56.2: Leroy

    Lycer's POVThe house brings in an instant sense of warmth and I find myself letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding."Good god," I heard mumbled from behind us. The hunched man circled us, his eyes on Celestial. I pushed her further behind me. "She needs help." Just as he said it, Celestial leans her full weight on me. I'm quick to turn and grab her. "You two best not be bringin' trouble, you hear?" My mouth opens but he's quick to drag a chair from his kitchen that's set up not ten feet away from the living room we entered into. "Set 'er here." I listen, helping Celestial to sit down on the chair.Celestial falls back into the backed wooden chair, sighing a breath of relief. Her eyes scan the warm room. The old beat up coach, wooden shelves filled with nicknacks but no pictures, the cozy looking reading chair. Her eyes didn't scan the kitchen that felt just as warm to me. Instead, her eyes found mine. "We're out," she whispers with a tone of disbelief."We're out." I squeez

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 56.1: Leroy

    Lycer's POVThe forest was cold and damp. It reminded me much of the cells I wasn't truly sure I had escaped.The wind swirled and nipped at us with its icy chill. I can tell it's going to snow soon.I'll need to find shelter.Celestial's hold on my fur switches between a harsh grip and a light grasp but she keeps steady on my back. I try to keep my pace even so as not to jostle her.I don't know where we are. The sky is a mask of grey and the trees are dead. Nothing. I know nothing but that I need to keep going.Twice, I catch myself speeding up for a moment with an intense fear of someone being right on my heels. Celestial doesn't say a thing. I was sure she would if she spotted someone following us.With night just shortly on our tail and the mountains a slowly shrinking image, I let us stop for just a moment."Lycer?" Her words are a whisper and I nudge my head back to show I hear her. "Are we free?" I look forward. Are we free?I keep walking.Night falls and no one has found us.

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 55: A Hideout Within the Hideout

    Third Person POV"Find them! Fucking find them and bring them back! Alive!"Malum paces through his office, his head beginning to hurt. The boy had shifted. The wolfsbane in his system was too low. He had timed things incorrectly and for that, Malum was furious. Now his only connection to the originals, to the Lycans, was gone. Off in the woods somewhere.They couldn't have gone far. The girl is injured. His experiments would find them.When night falls, they are still not found. Malum destroys several items in a training area he had designated for his experiments. Experiments flinch as they watch chairs and targets shatter to pieces.Malum had the body of the traitor burned, tempted to kick it until it unlikely sprang back to life just so he could beat the life out of it again. One of his high ranking experiments, Karlin, returned the first night. His irritation matched Malum's. Karlin supposedly never trusted Ian and was happy to execute the task of getting rid of the traitor, thoug

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 7.1: The Three Js

    Celeste's POVI brushed my hair out as gently as I could. Xavier said he wants to introduce officially to those of ranking in his pack. He said technically I've already met them but that no one actually got to introduce themselves. I instantly knew he meant the three pack members who found me along

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 4.1: Mates

    Celeste's POVI stared at him in disbelief. "M-mates?" I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before. The way he phrased things, his comforting scent, the tingles I've never felt with anyone before. Looking back, I have always known about mates but I can't recall ever asking or being told about an

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 7.2: The Three Js

    Celeste's POV"So. ." I said, probably very awkwardly. I never really had to put forth any energy into socializing so I don't honestly know the best way to go about it. "Three J's," I point out. They give me confused looks, Josh's is easier to read than Jacob. "Josh," I point to him, "Jacob," I poi

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 5.1: Don't Let Me Go

    Celeste's POVThe wind was whipping through my fur as I ran, the sun shining through the tree tops and bringing a physical warmth to accompany the happy warmth I was feeling internally. I looked to my left to see Mom running beside me. She gave me a toothy grin and looked over my shoulder, her eyes
