Se connecterWren's POV The next few days passed in a blur, time had lost its meaning to me. I wasn't eating much, I wasn't drinking much, I was just barely living. I was alive but not living, only existing.The hollowness in my chest grew bigger with every passing day but I hid it under fake smiles, smiles that I was sure everyone could see through but no one wanted to call me out on, maybe they were afraid to look closely and see the truth reflected in my eyes, well, until now.Robin slumped on my bed and sighed dramatically, “You have to got to get out of your room. You have been inside ever since you got back.” That was the term everyone had been using ‘got back’, it rubbed me the wrong way, one would think I travelled instead, like I had chosen to leave. Even now, I wanted to scream, I wanted to remind them that what happened wasn'ta prolonged vacation, I was kidnapped but I swallowed my words and gave a fake smile instead, the same one I had been giving everyone.“I'm always happier indoor
Caelum's POV It felt like I had been struck with a blow, something warm unfurled in my chest, “pregnant?” I asked, breathlessly.He nodded, I laughed in disbelief and rubbed my unoccupied hand over my face, i could feel the rough stubble on my chin. I was going to be a father, excited laughter burst out of me, I felt like I was on top of the world. Just then, something he said sunk in.“Wait, was?” I asked, confused. The sadness and grief in the doctor's eyes told me the answer but I didn't want to accept it. No, there was no way my pup was gone, I refused to accept it, I couldn't have gained and lost a child in just one second.“I'm sorry, alpha, she lost the pup.” The doctor said more but I couldn't hear it over the ringing in my ears. The words kept replaying over and over till I was drowning in them.Lost the pup….Lost the pup……I tasted bile at the back of my throat, my world continued spinning. I could hear Xyler howling in pain in the back of my mind. My pup, my first child,
Caelum'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 POVI barged into Caelum's office slamming the doors shut behind me. I was beyond mad, I had reached my tipping point. Half of the anger drained away when I saw how his eyes lit up when he saw me.The date we had changed something, as much I didn't want to admit it. We had been sending each
Wren's POVThe whispers had grown louder by the next morning. Every where I went, I saw group of people hurdled together whispering loudly. The whispers stopped when I got closer though, I had become the prime suspect just for being the last person seen arguing with Leslie.It didn't help that I w
I was reading the blurb of a book I had picked out of a shelf when I saw a pair of black Italian leather shoes approach me. By the unique smell of rain on earth, I knew it was Caelum.“Let's go on a date." His deep voice whispered in my ears, his breath was minty and warm as it fanned my face. A sl
I snuck down the hallway, looking for the weapons room that Robin had shown me earlier. I found it at the end of the hallway and quietly creeped in after making sure that was no soul in sight.I browsed the shelves, looking for something in particular. I found it sitting pretty in the midst of some
