Celine

The sentence had been given. I would die at dawn.

I pressed my forehead against the damp stone, willing myself to disappear. I could disappear. This second, if I willed my wolf, I could run away, but I refused to. So I awaited my death.

I was barely able to sleep as waves of nausea hit me over and over, despite not having anything to eat. I suspected my body was rejecting the thought of death when I didn't, but I ignored it.

The footsteps came before the light.

I barely lifted my head as the heavy door swung wide open and two pairs of boots stopped before me

“It’s time,” one of the guards muttered.

Hands seized my arms, yanking me forward. I stumbled, my vision swimming, but I kept my head down as they dragged me through the halls.

The moment we stepped past the prison gates, the wind shifted.

I looked up.

The skies had darkened, thick clouds rolling in from the horizon, swallowing the early morning light. A storm was coming.

Maybe the Goddess was mocking me.

I prefer stories with strong FL and ML that sting together (or at least within a rather short period) and I prefer stories not to drag on above 100 chapters. But the parts I read where promising but for me, the following chapters will let me decide to follow or quit.

probably I should avoid the story if it says dark romance and if he put his dick in her fake sister (or someone else) I will stop following the story. I’m currently only following it and will only start really reading it when it’s finished. But possibly I’m not your target reader.

    Kaiden’s POVWatching her at the podium about to be executed was one of the worst moments of my life, but remembering that she was the one responsible for me failing my brother and my niece made watching her about to be executed a little bit easier.But the minute I saw her fall onto the floor, I forgot I was supposed to be hating her and leaped to carry her off the floor.Murmurs echoed around the podium as the crowd stared at me in confusion as I lifted the murderer in my arms.“What are you doing, Your Majesty?” Lord Vaughn asked incredulously, but I ignored him as I faced the podium to address the crowd.“The prisoner has fallen unconscious. We shall return when she is conscious. Do not fear, justice shall be served.”Then I rushed to the clinic urgently.Celine’s body was limp in my arms, her face pale, sweat beading along her temple. She looked so fragile, nothing like the traitor I had convinced myself she was.I clenched my jaw. This should not be happening.I should be relieve

    Celine The next few days I spent in the clinic to make sure the baby and I were healthy were both monotonous and boring, but I was finally able to move past the initial shock of being pregnant. I couldn't believe I was carrying a child. The circumstances were unfortunate, yes, but I couldn't believe I almost killed my child because of my guilt. I could never forgive myself for entertaining that suicidal thought for one moment, and I cried wondering how it would have turned out being if I hadn't fainted just before the execution. I would have two dead people on my hands. This baby was my saving grace, my second chance, and yes I do not deserve to have something special in my belly as a murderer, but this was the best thing to happen to me. My wolf refused to communicate with me because of my suicide mission and I understood. But without this child, I have no will to live. I was tempted to run away, but with Kaiden’s child in my belly, I was a target. He would hunt me down to the ends

    CelineI woke up to the feeling of being carried in the arms of someone, and immediately, his scent invaded my senses. My eyes flew open to see Kaiden carrying me onto the couch in his office, barking orders to the guard to bring in Healer Magnus.“Call him here this instant!”There was a hint of worry in his tone, which was ironic because, moments ago, he ordered me to respect Sheila, the person who destroyed my whole life. The person he was planning to marry.In anger, I rose from the couch, but a pain shot through my skull, and I winced, gripping my head.“You should sit still,” Kaiden ordered, placing a hand to push me back into the chair, but I swatted his hand away in annoyance.“Leave me the hell alone, Kaiden. I do not need your help,” I scowled at him.My actions did not go unnoticed by my parents and Sheila, and Mother’s shrill voice echoed in the room. “How dare she treat you that way? You should put her in her place since she lacks manners!”I rolled my eyes, frustration ev

    CelineThe house was guarded all day round, a treatment befitting the pack's most notorious criminal. It was a hilarious situation, but I could not bring myself to laugh because nothing was funny to me, not when everything kept getting worse every minute I opened my eyes. Ever since that day, I had been alone in the house, my meals and drugs being delivered by different maids or was it the same maid I never really paid attention.Nothing really mattered since I was trapped in solitude, but I could not think of anything else except my stupid family snatching sister and her claws on my mate who hated me.I wished I could understand what the shadow soldier was and how I could summon it. I wished I had understood my wolf and how it worked before that day. Maybe just maybe Anya would still be alive and I would be with Kaiden.Sick of crying myself to sleep, I sat in the room, facing the windowsill like I did every evening. But today was a different evening. It was Sheila and Kaiden’s engage

    KaidenMy mind was plagued with a variety of thoughts as I stormed out of Celine’s house. I hated the way she got under my skin so effortlessly. I hated how much control she had over me without even trying. I mean, she was not with me, and I was still thinking about her. It infuriated me to no end.I pushed every thought of her to the back of my mind and walked back to the party, but even the party infuriated me to no end. Sheila’s family were the most obnoxious and selfish people I knew, but I had to marry into their family. Sheila seemed like the exception. A pretty young lady with grace and charm, someone I could have built a relationship with if Celine had not plagued every corner of my heart. Maybe this was what I needed to get her out of my mind. I needed to move on.“Your Majesty! Where have you been? Your bride has been looking everywhere for you!” Sheila’s mother smiled at me, but I could barely tolerate the look of happiness in her eyes as she mentioned the bride. They raised

    KaidenSheila looked at me as I stood frozen as I realized what she was asking of me and for the first time, I really looked at her. She was completely made up, her body rubbed with glitter and her scent of exotic flowers. Her face was stained with blush as she avoided my stare and I suddenly reminded myself that she was to be my queen. This isn't unusual. It was a chance to finally move on.“This is undeniably bold of you.” A ghost of a smirk appeared on my lips as I took my place on the chair, as she requested of me.Sheila let out a soft, nervous laugh, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I just thought… since we are to be married, we should at least start getting comfortable with each other.”Her voice was gentle, laced with an innocence that should have soothed me. It didn’t.I leaned back in the chair, watching as she hesitated before stepping closer. Her hands trembled slightly as she reached for the ribbon at the front of her gown, her blush deepening as she worke

    CelineA knock pulled me out of my deep sleep, and I groaned as I pulled myself up from the lounging chair where I had fallen asleep while reading my novel.Who could it be? I asked myself as I got to my feet. I knew it could not be Kaiden. He stormed in whenever he pleased, like I was some property. Sometimes I wondered if that man was a King or a bull.But who could it be at this hour of the night?I held up my unrealistic romance novel as a weapon to shield me against the intruder if there was one.As if poetic declarations of love would stop an actual threat.Where were the guards when there was an actual threat? Or did the threat take down the guards too?The knock echoed through the room once more, softer this time, but it did nothing to reduce my unease.I swallowed. My fingers curled around the handle, hesitating for a beat. Then, in one swift motion, I yanked the door open.And froze.The person in front of me took a step forward, and a smile curved on his lips.“I am so glad

    CelineThe last person I hoped to see on my doorstep glared at me with hatred scorching enough to burn me into ashes. She stood heaving with so much anger, I feared her lungs were going to pack up and leave from how hard she was breathing. Her breath stank of hard liquor, and she swayed lightly from the influence of alcohol.My stomach twisted into a tight knot as I met her glare. I knew that look. I had seen it before. Right before a storm hit.“Sheila,” I breathed, my fingers tightening on the book still clutched in my hand. “What are you doing here?”Her body vibrated with rage, and her eyes glowed with something primal. A low growl left her lips, and I wrapped my robe closer to my body, protecting myself from her glare.“You,” she spat, her voice shaking. “You ruin everything.”I blinked, caught between confusion and exhaustion. “What are you…”She shoved me before I could finish. Not enough to send me stumbling, but enough to make her point.“You always win, don’t you?” Her tone

    Charles “What? You want something in return? Hmn?”She asked as she folded her arms across her chest. “Would you just shut up and let me talk?” I barked, my anger already bubbling.“Okay fine,” she replied as she rolled her eyes. “But, what do you want me to do to make you just stop whatever you're doing? What do you want me to do to make you cancel this fight?” she said to me, looking a bit desperate. I looked at her and smiled faintly. “Are you sure you're ready to hear it?” I asked her, and she looked at me, impatiently saying, “Just spit it out already!” Before I could even say anything more, we heard footsteps clearly walking straight to our room, followed by Kaiden's voice calling out Celine's name. I immediately took her and hid in a corner of the room where Kaiden wouldn't see us. He opened the door and scanned the room, but he didn't see us. He closed the door back while Celine and I were too busy hiding in a corner, and we were too close in a very romantic way. I sta

    CharlesI felt a strong presence as I sat in the ruined temple, thinking about what to do to fight Kaiden and how to reclaim my mate and make her mine. I looked around, trying to sense where the presence was emanating from, and before long, I saw the priest standing right behind me, looking deeply and intently at me. He bowed and greeted me. “My king, I came to discuss something important with you,” he said to me. I looked at him and asked, “What did you come here to discuss? Why did you just come all of a sudden? Did someone from the pack tell you something? What do you think would happen? You want to get yourself into trouble?” I said to him, but he just looked at me. “Don't worry, my king, nobody is going to see me. Only you can see me,” he reassured me. “So what did you come here to discuss about?” I asked him, and he replied, “It’s about Celine. About how you are going to reclaim her and what we are going to do next. I want to ask you how far your plan has been going and h

    Kaiden“How did you find out about all of this? Who told you that? I—I awakened him on purpose. How did you know about this stuff that happened inside the cave? The coffin back there?” She questioned me. But I just stared into space and flashed back to when Charles came to meet me in the throne room. I saw him walk in gracefully, looking heavenly and handsome. He was looking so divine, and I felt inferior to his heavenly grace. But I didn't say anything and wondered why he had come to meet me back there in my throne room. I saw him walk gracefully up to me and say, “Very soon I will take Celine away from you. I will take her away from you completely. Did you even know that she came to meet me and confront me? Even though her mother stopped her from coming here to meet me, she still came. And that was why she awakened me back there at the coffin. Do you think she did it mistakenly? No, it was not a mistake. She did it purposely. She awakened me because she felt she couldn't resist me

    Kaiden I opened my eyes and found myself lying in bed with Celine by my side. I looked at her beautiful face and brushed off the air that was covering her face partly as I looked at her intensely with so much love and care. “I wonder what she did to me to make me fall so deeply in love with her as much as this. Don't worry, Celine. I promise you nothing is going to happen to you, and I won't let anybody ever hurt you. No one will ever dare to lay a finger on you as long as I am here, and nobody is going to ever take you away from me as long as I am alive and breathing,” I whispered to her carefully so as not to wake her from her sleep. She looked so peaceful, lying there in my arms. I felt determined to protect this woman as much as I could protect my life because she was like my lifeline, and I wouldn't want anything that would take her out of my arms. “You will never go through any harm. I promise that nothing will ever bother you as long as I'm here. I will share your pain with

    Celine“Did Charles really say all that to you?” “Yes, he did. I have been having a lot of nightmares about him. He's always coming into my dreams telling me I'm his mate and no matter what I do, it would make me his. I only went there to confront him and tell him to stay out of my dreams. But he threatened me, and I didn't know what to do. I walked out of his house in annoyance yesterday,” I explained better to Kaiden, and he hugged me and said, “I'm sorry. I didn't know that that was what really happened. Charles twisted the whole thing and lied to me about you coming to his place. He lied. He twisted the whole thing around and lied. I'm sorry. I should have believed you first. I should have asked you what happened before blaming you.” “It's fine. You don't have to apologize. You only acted on impulse. I know how much I mean to you. That's why you acted that way,” I said to him and calmed him down. Then he released me from the hug and said, “Why did you come here in the first pl

    Celine When I got to my room, I couldn't stop thinking about what my mom had revealed to me and what Charles had said. A lot of thoughts kept on flooding my head as I remembered how Charles threatened to reveal what I did. How I awakened him and my mom in the coffin that day if I didn't agree to be his mate. I didn't know what to do. And I hoped my mom would devise a plan to stop him from forcing me to be his mate. I hoped. I hoped that he wouldn't disturb me in my dreams tonight and let me sleep well and rest properly. Because I was seriously tired of him being in my dreams and disrupting my sleep. I couldn't rest well for the past few days because of the nightmares he'd been giving me. I just hoped that me confronting him today would make him stop and give me a break. Maybe just for this night because I was really tired, and my head was filled right now with a lot of thoughts. I sat on the bed and kept on thinking about how to convince him to leave me alone and not force me to be

    Rose. I just sat there staring into space, helpless. I couldn't bring myself to tell Celine that I couldn't explain to her how she was the opposite of the Moon Goddess. I could remember back then; it came to me as a flashback. Celine was busy playing right outside our house. And then the Moon Goddess…It was almost close to the celebration of the Moon Goddess. The Moon Goddess did something to show her appearance and that she was happy with the pack members. But then Celine got very angry and did something that she wasn't supposed to do. I quickly ran outside and went to her. “Celine, stop. Don't do that ever again. Nobody can ever know that you can do this. Do you understand me? You can't make everybody find out what you just did today. We have to keep it a secret between you and Mom. Okay?” I said to her. And she immediately got scared. I started thinking, what did this girl choose to do? How could she do that to something that the Moon Goddess did? How could she do something li

    Celine. I was more than scared of him right now. Yes, I was really scared, and I didn't know what to do anymore. I just stood there, dumbfounded and short of words. I couldn't say anything, and I was shaking already in fear.Hearing this, I realized that there was nothing I could do about this problem right now. I needed to go home and think about it and maybe talk to my mom if she had finally woken up to look for a plan to stop Charles from claiming me as his mate. I didn't utter a word. He started to walk out of his place, but then he said something that made me stop in my tracks. “You, no matter what you do, Celine, you will still be my mate. And I'll make sure that I make you mine. I'll make you my mate. No matter what happens to me, no matter what plan you devise, I'll still make you my mate, and there's nothing that you're going to do about it,” he yelled back at me, and I didn't even turn to look in his direction as I stormed out of his house in frustration.

    Celine“What do you want to talk about?” “Why have you been coming into my nightmares? I know you have been doing it on purpose. This is not the first time nor the second that I'm seeing you in my dream, and I want you to stop coming into my dream right from this instant.” He laughed sarcastically and looked at me. I scoffed and wondered why he was laughing, and then he stopped and apologized. “I'm sorry for laughing like that, but you just look so funny.” I looked at him with seriousness showing on my face. But then he burst out laughing again, and I immediately felt irritated by his laugh. Everything about him irritated me. I just hated the way he was laughing right now. I needed him to be serious, and here he was laughing, I thought to myself. Then, after a while, he stopped laughing and kept a straight face. “Okay, what made you think that I'm purposely coming into your dreams? Maybe you are just saying things. Maybe it's because you can not just resist me. That's why you ar
