Mag-log inCaelum's POV A sharp knock brought me out of my musings about Wren. I had been sitting in my office all day, it hadn't been a deliberate decision to be isolated from the rest of my pack but it was a wise, much needed one. I was hanging on to my control by a single frayed thread, and I was worried that if it snapped, I would either destroy everything in sight or worse, fall apart. I couldn’t afford to fall apart, not now that my mate needed me.Grief was lodged in the back of my throat like a huge ball I couldn't swallow. I wanted to break things, I wanted to scream at the world's unfairness, haven't we had enough?! I have never felt more helpless, it was the worst feeling that could happen to a man.The knock sounded again, softer and more uncertain. I opened my mouth to respond but no sound came out, I swallowed the lump that had lodged itself in my throat and tried again.“Come in.” My voice was hoarse and cracked from disuse. I cleared my throat but it made no difference, it only
Wren's POV My consciousness trickled in slow, hazy waves. Bit by bit my senses awakened until I became dimly aware of the dull ache spreading through my body. It hurt so much to even twitch a finger so I stayed still. I laid there, wondering every minute, if this was how I was going to die.Time blurred and soon the pain dulled enough for me to move. With a quiet groan leaving my lips, I slowly pushed myself into a more comfortable sitting position, my body trembling with the effort.It was then i saw it, my white gown streaked with blood as though a massacre had happened on the fabric. I gasped sharply at the gruesome sight. A mournful keen left my lips as I remembered how beautiful and untouchable I had felt when I had worn it. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I looked at what was left of my ceremonial gown.“You're awake, good.” A voice intoned robotically. I squinted at the place where it had come from but all I could see were shadows I leaned back into the headboard. “Come
“That's all? That's all we needed from her? I went through all that trouble for nothing?! I almost got killed man!”Voices, those were the first thing I heard as I slowly drifted into consciousness. My eyes felt like they were glued shut together and my body felt as weak as a new born's. “Just this is enough.” A calm feminine voice said. I stiffened when I heard the unfamiliar voice, the past events were slowly coming back to me but a part of me desperately wished it was all a dream.“I could have gotten that from a scratch, why did I have to take her? Alpha Caelum is out for my head right now!” A familiar male voice said. I recognised him as the rogue that had disrupted my ceremony. I subtly shifted my limbs and barely held back a pained hiss as I felt the pure silver chains come in contact with bare skin.Yup, I was kidnapped alright. “Caelum would still be out for your blood if you had so much as breathe on her. Anyways, it's rude to talk about our guest when we can be talking t
Wren's POV It was a man, a stranger I didn't recognise, he stood with his hands behind his back, baring his teeth at us in a leering grin. He looked rough and unkempt. The wind blew past me and a rotten scent wafted past me, the smell of rogues. The man was a rogue.In an instant, the pack warriors had him surrounded, but he appeared unaffected by the menacing look they wore. Caelum pushed me gently behind him, the man smiled at the gesture. “Who the fuck are you?” Caelum snarled at the rogue, his canines dropped.“Ah, who I am doesn't matter. What matters is what I want.” The man said, he looked unfazed by all the negative attention he was getting.“You have three seconds before I beat the shit out of you.” Caelum growled, I could read the tension in his body and I knew that the only thing keeping him where he was was the thought that he had to protect me.“Nice ceremony by the way, almost brought tears to my eyes. Luna wren, you looked startling and that gown is simply marvellous.
Wren's POV Today was the day I had been waiting for, the day I had been planning for, the day I become the official Luna of the Black moon pack. To say that I waa anxious was an overstatement, anxiety was pouring out of every pore in my body and I felt like I was seconds away from an anxiety attack. The ceremony was in the night and it was still morning. Jessica, Robin, Emily and I were at the mall looking for a white dress for me because as meticulous as I was while planning the ceremony, I somehow managed to get myself a dress.Normally, the former Luna would be the one to plan the ceremony but the former Luna was dead because of something my parents did so I had to plan it myself, it came long quite nicely for a first attempt at planning. Now, we've been walking for hours, going from shop to shop looking for the perfect white dress. Caelum suggested that I wear his mother's dress, I told him that if I did that, a mob will lynch me and roast me over a bonfire.“My legs are killi
Wren's POV “Red. Red please. Red, I'm sorry.” Caelum has been apologising for the past one hour but I was ignoring him, he was in the dog house for now. My cheeks still burned from the mortification I felt downstairs. “Red, you can't ignore me forever. “ He said exasperated, watch me, I thought. We were in his office, he was working on some alpha documents, I was trying to plan my mating ceremony so we were both busy which was why I didn't understand why he kept apologising. It wasn't until I looked up and I saw soren working diligently on the documents Caelum was supposed on.Poor soren, may the force be with him, I thought. “Red.” At no response from me, he sighed and stood up, I looked at him curiously, he continued, “come on, I have something to show you.” I stood up, curiosity making me forget I was mad at him.“Oh, are you going to show her that thing?” Soren voice reached our ears from where we were already at the door.“Yup but you cannot come with us because you have wor
Wren's POV I stood anxiously in front of a door for the second time in a day, it was Jessica's door, I decided not to linger, just incase she could smell my anxiety as well which she probably could. I knocked on the door and waited till I heard a muffled come in before I opened the door.Her eyes
Wren's PovThe next few days after that, I kept an eye on both Caelum and Jessica, noting their reaction to each other, how they both went out of their way to avoid each other. The bad feeling in my chest only grew. I had tried to trip Caelum many times, dropping in Jessica's name suddenly in conv
Wren's POVRemember, wren, remember….I wanted to open my eyes but I didn't have the strength, my eyelids felt like they were glued together and I couldn't open them.“Wren? Baby, open your eyes for me!" I heard someone say, Caelum.Caelum! I need to see him, I need to see my mate.With great effor
Wren's POV“Mummy, can we please go to the market now? Can we?" Five years old me tugged on my mother's skirt.“I don't know, Wren, I don't think it's a good idea." Mummy said, her eyebrows furrowed like it did whenever daddy was late from work.“Please mummy, you promised." I tugged endlessly on h
