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 point to the brooding male, "Jared," I point to the door. "Kind of like siblings."

"I've never really given that any thought." Jacobs eyebrow is quirked up. I hadn't stopped thinking about it really. Jar

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 37.3: Heat (18+)

    Xavier's POVIt's hard to leave the room. My wolf encourages me to stay. To not leave her side for a moment. To act on my urges and continue our escapades.I bring back a fruit salad, the chocolates, and a small selection of cheeses. Celeste is notably in a different pair of leggings when I return, just exiting the closet. The shirt she's wearing is rebuttoned but it doesn't hide all the marks I left on her neck. The temporary little bruises bring a sense of pride to my wolf and I. She blushes, nearly tripping over her own feet, before slipping back into bed. I climb in beside her, setting the food down on my lap. She reaches for a chocolate but I 'slap' her hand away. I turn on a movie, some romantic mushy thing I'm sure she'll love. Again, she reaches for a chocolate. I give her a glare until she retracts her hand. I smile triumphantly, grabbing the colorfully wrapped sweet myself. I untwist the wrapper, holding the chocolate to her lips. Her eyes find mine, darting back to the choc

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 37.2: Heat (18+)

    Xavier's POVBy the fourth morning, my wolf was on edge. Every little noise brought a growl through my chest. Celeste's scent. . . If it was amplified before then I don't even know how to describe it now. Being near her was hard but being away was not an option. Neither of us wanted to part from the other. Hands reached out across the bed, grasping onto wrists or legs when one of us made a move to leave for even a moment.Yesterday, I had Jared drop off some paperwork that I had pushed aside momentarily but now I couldn't even give it the tiniest bit of my attention. Instead, my eyes tracked her every move.We mixed together one of the pastes Zay had left us when Celeste's pain began to grow. It was rough on my fingers but as I spread it across the bottom of her stomach, the feeling of the herby substance between my hands and her soft skin became entrancing. Even more entrancing was when her sighs of relief turned to uneven breaths, breaking past her lips as she struggled to stay stil

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 37.1: Heat

    Xavier's POVCeleste's body seemed to turn against us both not long into the second day. One minute she would be so hot that she almost didn't want to touch me and the next she would be shivering, no amount of blankets or heating pads seeming to help her; all of it accompanied with aches and nausea. I would hold her to me, massaging her back or legs or arms while my wolf howled and huffed internally. Her scent seemed all the more enticing. One of the only reliefs that seemed to settle us both was the tracing of kisses up and down her neck, stopping to give generous attention to where I'll one day mark her forever. While this did bring a sense of relief to us both, it also brought me my own difficulties. The airy moans and little whimpers she let out had me testing new limits of my control. Control of my wolf.Another relief found for her was sleep which seemed to find her easier in these moments of physical exertion and her unwell state. I struggled to find sleep, an instinct in me ha

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 36: Blame

    Celeste's POVI try to control my breathing as I lay in bed. Xavier. . A whimper escapes me as I rub my thighs together, trying to get a sense of relief from the aching feeling in my stomach as well as my lower region. Nothing helps as I only feel hotter and hotter. I want to. . I . . I don't know. I huff, trying to do that breathing exercise Zay once taught me. It seems to help a bit as Ancillary internally paces before settling.My hand goes to my neck, running over where Xavier. . I feel myself turn red again as tingles erupt under my skin. I push myself out of bed with a huff. I hobble my way to the bathroom, my legs both aching and also feeling incredibly wobbly. Messy hair and a pink face stare back at me, my lips slightly swollen. My eyes dart to my neck where a bruise seems to peak out from under the collar of Xavier's shirt. I pull the fabric aside to assess the damage.'That's where his mark will go,' Ancillary tells me. 'That's why it feels the way it does.''And I get to m

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 35: Here for Me (18+?)

    Xavier's POVCeleste's scent overwhelms me as I enter the pack house. I had thought there was something different to her scent earlier today, yesterday? I had lost track of time but I was sure it was well past midnight at this point. Part of me wishes I had stayed with her but the other part knows today could have been much worse if I hadn't gone.Zay walked down the downstairs hallway and gave me a sad smile. "How are you feeling?""Like complete shit." She took a steady breath, nodding. She eyed my chest where the wound was."Well at least you look healed up," she tried."The one on my back is worse." The stinging burning ache hits with every step, especially after the trip back through the forest. I glance upstairs, knowing Celeste is waiting for me up there. "How is she?""Celeste is okay. She was in some pain when I woke her up but I gave her some meds to help her get back to sleep. She's in your room now." I give her a small half smile. "Autumn isn't doing well though, Xavier."

  • Celestial Bodies: of Runts and Lycans   Chapter 34: Luck

    Xavier's POVThe remaining wolves lower their heads in respect as I carry Basil in my arms. "Let's go," I tell them all. Jacob remains in wolf form by my side as the others follow behind me. Basil's limp form is heavy in my arms and, while I dread the journey ahead, I shift them every mile or so. We're maybe twenty or so miles outside of the pack and it will be hours until we make it back. My back and chest burn and ache, blood still dripping from each wound. My face carriers smaller injuries that seem to laugh at me as they sting in the night air.The night seems to mock me. Not a cricket chirps, none of the few remaining leaves seem to ruffle. I'm forced to be left alone with my thoughts. Forced to think of how I failed tonight as a leader. I should have brought more backup. I should have noticed when Basil got lost amongst the chaos. I should have kept another rogue alive. Now I have no answers and a member of my pack, my family, lays dead in my arms. I can only assume they were th

    Celeste's POV"Lesa!" Xavier gives her a big hug, my stomach continuing to tighten. "This," he grabs her hand which even Ancillary growls at, and takes her towards me, "is Celeste, my mate." His smile calms me down, bright as ever and full of care. "Celeste, this is Lesa. My sister."My shoulders s

    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

But I need you to calm down and stay that way." She takes another one of the paper towels and sprays it with some liquid before pressing it to the cu

    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
