"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.
"For fuck's sake slow down!" I yelled at him, my cheeks going red.
Goddess, I do not wish to die like this and why the hell is he acting like an asshole?
About thirty minutes later we got to a very silent neighborhood that is surrounded with tall, thick trees. I look over to Elijah with a confused face, a little bit skeptic.
"What are we doing here? I thought you said we were going to the palace." I ask him.
He look at me with a raised brow, his eyes shinning with amusement.
"You do not expect me drive fourteen hours to the palace, now do you?" He replied then sighs.
"In every state and country, there is a portal that leads to the palace and only the royal families knows about it" He added driving through the untile dark road in the forest.
He stopped when we are further away from the buildings that we passed then we got out. He leads us to a very big tree and stands next to it. I fold my arms and look at him, curious of what he was going to do.
He place his hand on the tree and chants some words that sounds ancient. The air becomes chilly and breeze blows around the tree, I and Elijah as he kept on chanting then, the tree had a tiny bright light in the middle of it, shinning. It kept on becoming bigger and bigger till it is big enough for us to fit in.
"Wow" I gasped, taking my hair that was stuck in my mouth and look at Elijah who is already staring at me with a proud smile on his face. He stretched his hand towards me and I take it, then he draws me closers to him and wraps his big hands around me and whispers in my ear.
"Hold on tight"
We fall through the light and I close my eyes and hold on to him tightly. There's a whooshing sound around us, It was like we were falling through a never ending black hole.
The noise stops but I clutch on to Elijah tightly. "You can let go now darling." He said.
I cleared my throat and let go of him, adjusting my blue T-shirt that had wrinkle from the fall. I see that we are in some sort of study room.
"Follow me," Elijah said leading me out of the room. We walk through corridors passing through different rooms, I see a room that the door is slightly ajar, I take a quick peep seeing rolls of chairs. It looks somewhat like a dinning table but wasn't. It has a very big chair at the head which I guessing belongs to the king and smaller ones facing each other.
"That's the meeting room" the king comments, now taking my hand in his. We walk until we got to the kings wing. I know that because it was literally written there.
We stop in front of a door and he brings out a key unlocking the door. The room is beautiful, the wall is a cream color with black straight lines. The floor, covered with soft looking rug. Oh, how I'd love to rub my bare feet on them.
"We need to talk" Elijah muttered, drawing my attention back to him. I nod and take a seat on one of the posh chairs and so does he.
"I want you to be my mate, Celeste" He spoke.
"Why?" I asked, really wanting to know what he see in me. A she-wolf who was rejected by her own mate.
"Because you're different" He says. I am confused... What makes me different from the other she-wolfs? I am just a girl with a broken heart and a mate who rejected her.
"I do not understand Elijah, what makes me different?"
"Because you can fix me, you can be my mate once again." He said as he get on his feet and stand by the window, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky
Once again, What does he mean?
"Elij-" "I know you are confused Celeste," he cuts me off. "But you will understand in time."
I decide not to say anything and just nod my head even though he can't see me. He sighs then turn towards me and give a smile. "I will have one of the maids bring you dinner, you must be hungry" He said.
"Oh no, I already had dinner, do not worry but thanks anyway"
"If you say so." He muttered with a nod then come closer to me and place a gentle kiss on my head "See you tomorrow Celeste."
I watch his retreating figure walk out the door and once he was out and the door was closed I let out a breath. I stretch my body and jump on the massive bed and let out a sigh of contentment. As soft as the bed was I couldn't sleep. My mind keeps racing with thoughts of what was to come with my life, what does this mean for me and what did the King mean by his mate once again?
It is know across the world that his mate was dead over seven Years ago.The King could have meant his mate again as in a second chance mate.. Right? We are two broken souls and we need each other. Shaking my head at that thought, I looked up to the ceiling praying to the moon goddess to give me strength.
I decide to go out for a stroll as I couldn't sleep. I pass through many halls, beautiful paintings. It seems like I lost track of time... And my way.
I look around the different halls wondering which way I came through. I pick the hall on the left hoping it would lead me back to my wing. I walk pass different closed doors, but stop when I see a shadow of someone through the slightly opened door.
I stand next to the wall hiding my body and using my left eye to take a peek in the room. The room, filled with beautiful red roses just like the one drawn on the floor of the throne room and in the middle was a tombstone. I can't see the name written on it because the person standing next to the tomb.
I hear whispering then the person laughs but he is the only one In the room. I gasp when the unknown or rather know person turns his head.
"Who's there?" Elijah's voice echo's through the room and in the hall. My eyes widen and I ran as fast as I can, this time through the right hall. Relief floods through me as I see the the kings wing, I opened my door and close it with much force that it made a loud bang and I cringed. I climb on the bed and cover myself with the blanket. I try calming my heartbeat as it was racing so fast.
The door to my room opens slightly and I close my eyes tightly. After a few seconds he close the door and I release a breath I didn't even realize I was hold.
As I become sleepy my mind is filled with two thoughts. Who the hell was Elijah whispering and laughing with and how the fuck did those roses stay fresh in such a room?
I wake up with the lights shinning on my face. I walk to the window and look out to the beautiful view out side my window. There is a nock on my door and I walk to it and open it. There, stands a maid with her head bowed."Good morning Lady Celeste, the king has requested you join him for breakfast in the dinning room" the female said. Before I can answers she hurryliy walk away and I shrug. I close the door and go into the bathroom taking a quick shower, I take out a new toothbrush from its case and brush my teeth with it. I decide to put on the clothes I wore since there is no extra.Walking through the beautiful walls of the palace, I ask a guard the way to the dinning room and he show me the way which I thank him for. The King seated at the head of the table, looks up as I enter the room with a smile."Celeste," he said my name in a whisper. "Please sit and have breakfast with me."I nod and sit next t
"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
For over four hours I sat in the library reading books upon books. I hear noises coming from the hallway outside the library. The low chattering of male voices has me knowing that the meeting has come to an end and the Alphas are on their way back to their packs.I stay in the library until I can't hear any more voices, then push the door open and walk out."Celeste," Someone called out to me. I turn around and there stands Eros Black in a black fitting suit."Mr Black" I answered back politely as he walks closer to me."How have you been?" He asked putting his right hand his pants pocket."I'm okay, yourself?""Good.""I heard about the rogue attack, I am so sorry it happened to you""Oh no, you don't need to be. It wasn't your fault" I told him with a smile."It kind of is," Eros sai
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.
I groaned as I reached out to my phone ringing on the table. I clicked on the answer button without checking the callers ID."Hello?" I rasped, turning on my back and rubbing my eyes with my hand."You're in so much trouble young lady!" Moms angry voice greeted me.I sat up straight, taking my hair out of my face and mouth and scrunched my face up in confusion."What are you talking about?" I asked her, confused."Don't play dumb with me" She said."Mom, I don-" "You are all over the news," Mom added cutting me off."Shit" I cussed under my breath. I forgot that the pictures they took of I and Elijah will pop up on the werenews."Don't you dare cuss again" She muttered and I pictured her glaring at me."Sorry," i whispered softly.I could hear voices at the background and know
We've been driving for more than four hours and not one building in sight, everything we passed was just trees. I sighed for what seems to be the tenth time today. "You know, if you're bored you could just try and get some sleep and we'll be there in no time" Elijah suggested when he noticed my state. I looked at him and pout then sighed again "I slept for the past past three hours Elijah. When are we ever getting there?" I asked and he chuckled. "We're almost there" He answered and then points to a distance in the forest. I squirt my eyes to see what he was pointing at and then I saw it. Above the trees I could see smoke, probably from the chimney of their homes. My eyes brighten with excitement, knowing I would soon be out of this car. Within a few minutes, we pulled up at the coven. Men and women came out of their homes to see the invaders. Children were clutching onto their mothers skirt, peeking f
I woke up to an empty bed, I looked around but the King was no where to be seen. I sighed and went in the bathroom to get ready for the day. I put on a washed blue jean with a black long sleeve shirt and a white sneakers then left the room.I met Hilda and some other women In the living room chatting and laughing among themselves, I smiled at them and some responded with a hello or good morning while others ignored me like I wasn't there."Celeste, come!" Hilda called out to me in the dinning room which is joined with the living room. I walked over to her with a smile."Good morning" I said to her."Morning child," Hilda replied as she placed food on the table. I offered to help them, also placing foods on the table and making small talks with the coven members.After we were done, Hilda walks up to me and put her hand on my shoulder. "Do have a seat, dear" she said, motioning to
Groaning, I turned to my left but immediately held my head from the pain that pieced it like a thousand niddles."Fuck!" I groaned, closing my eyes tightly but it hurts. Everything hurts."Celeste?" A female voice called. I tried opening my eyes but as I did, I closed it from the glaring light of the yellow bulb hanging from the ceiling.I tried a few times before my eyesight adjusted to the light and surroundings.I was surrounded by three people, Hilda, Elijah and a woman with black hair who looks quite familiar."What happened?" I asked, looking at them as I saw the sorrow and relief on their faces.They all looked at each other, contemplating if they should answer or not."You died, Celeste" Hilda said, her eyes shinning with pity."Wh-what?" I chocked out, my mouth running dry and my heart stopped. Literally. I tried sitting up but wa
