KING ELIJAH

CELESTE I was sitting in the library with my best friend, Anna, and a few of our course-mates as we reviewed some topics for the final exam of the semester. I stayed quiet, not saying a word, because my mind was too far gone—still stuck on the dream I’d had the night before. Not even a dream, really. More like a memory. A cruel one. The kind that showed up uninvited just to mock you when you were finally starting to breathe again. “You’re a psycho, Celeste. I can’t be mated to you. You’re fat and disgusting. You’re not fit to be a Luna.” “Andrew, what are you saying?” I had asked, my voice cracking, tears already spilling down my cheeks. I knew what was coming. His eyes gave it away—the disgust, the hatred, the way he couldn’t even look at me without flinching. “I, Andrew Walter, soon to be Alpha of Crest Fall Pack, reject you, Celeste Sampson, as my mate and future Luna of Crest Fall Pack.” My eyes stung from holding back more tears. I blinked rapidly and inhaled, trying to stea

It is now seven pm and I am doing my make-up. I put on a little amount of foundation on my face followed by some powder. I smoke out my eye and give it a winged line. I add some nude lipstick and a light blush on my cheeks. I do my hair in a formal messy braided updo. After doing my make up and hair, I picked up the bag that had my dress and slide it on I then pair it with the golden heels.I stand at the mirror hanging on my closet door and couldn't help but agree with what Josephine said at the mall today, I do look like a queen. I take my black purse laying on my bed and with my head high I go downstairs to me the rest of my family.Mom was the first to see me as I entered the living room. "You look beautiful darling" she says and everyone turns around to look at me."Thanks, mom" I mumbled suddenly shy with all eyes looking at me.Everyone tells me how beautiful I look and I thanked them and also tell

"Where are we going?" I asked Elijah as he takes a hold of my hand, leading me through the park. He said nothing and I roll my eyes but keep shut but after a few minutes I decide to ask him one more question. "How did you get here? And how did you know where I'd be?""I'm the king darling, I can find you whenever I want," Elijah comments, pushing his brow locks from his face. "And were going to the palace""What?!" I wispher-yelled into the dark night."I will not repeat myself" he mumbled not sparing me a glance.I scoff but let him drag Me with him. I spot a black Lamborghini that looks brand new at the road side. He opens the door for me and I get in while he also hopes in the driver's seat, turning on the car right away speeding out as he drives like a mad man.I hold on the seatbelt for dear life and my eyes open as he continues speeding around the fairly traffic."Fo

"Elijah, answer my question, Do you know him?" I asked him for the sixth time which he ignores.I stop walking and fold my hands together and glared at him. He looks back at me confused and when he sees my expression, he looks up at the sky and sighs."Yes, yes I know who he is""And who is he?" I asked again now walking beside him."He is the son of the rogue King" I gasped at this, "No way.""But I need to confirm if it's true" The king said, narrowing his eyes at the people we pass."Why do I need to come back to the palace with you?" I asked him another question."You're not safe here. If Derrick really is out, he's going to come back for you again and I'm sure you guys won't be having a chat this time."  I shivered from his words and gulp, Who knows what he might do to me.We got to the palace and walk

It's beautiful, beyond expectations. I wow at the exquisite restaurant glitters like gold. People gasp when they see their king and stop what they are doing, they bow in respect as they should then continue with that they were doing. A host leads us out of main room and into a private room.Elijah pulls out a chair for me to seat and i do so, thanking him while he also sits opposite me."It's beautiful," I told the king looking around then turn to look at him only to see his eyes on me."It is" He muttered not breaking eye contact with me.I understood What he was saying. Elijah wasn't talking about the room, no, he was talking about me that I am beautiful. I pull my hair behind my ear and pick up the menu, hiding my big fat smile from the king as a waiter comes in with a wine and pours it into our glasses.Elijah chuckles and and I bring the menu down, only showing my eyes to see what he is doing. He picks up his menu and then a waitress comes in.
