Patricia had so much to say to me. She had babbled about why I should keep on living and not try ending my life. She even made me promise to her not to. On the verge of tears, I hugged her. My spirits made me feel so alone. I knew deep down; I was just this small girl who had been misunderstood by lots of people. And, I never even bothered to explain myself again because they just never believed anything I said.
She left me after a while. The guards watching me informed me of their Alpha’s proposition. He had ordered to see me for some reason. And now, I was on my way to wherever he was located, with two bulky guards at my side. They all made it seem like I was some psycho that needed watching and it irritated me.
As we halted in front of the Alpha’s workplace, I saw one of the guard’s pupils dilate, I knew he had just mind linked the Alpha. The next thing I knew we were already entering through the door. And, just like that, I was left with the unknown Alpha Merida claimed was my second chance mate.
“He is, you dumb ass!” She scolded, making me scoff. That grabbed the Alpha’s attention that instant. He stood tall from his seat, with his gaze hovering all over me. It was strange that I never noticed how tall he actually was. His muscled and toned body was a whole lot of that. It made strange feelings lurk between my thighs, pooling them with heat. His mouth immediately carved a firm smile before opening to talk to me. “What’s so funny?” Alpha Killian asked. I loved his name. Killian. Though it sounded so demonic but something about me made me want to say it over and all over again.
For a minute, I couldn’t process what he said. I was drooling over his features, with both hands at the sides of my dress. This was crazy! What was I doing? Gosh… I shouldn’t be doing this. Right? Then why was I? Why was I?
These were what I asked myself as those mysterious brown eyes dug into mine in a questionable stance. His sudden throat clear immediately brought me back to reality. My lips quivered before actually opening. “That’s… I-mean… It’s nothing.” And that was how I, Celeste embarrassed myself in front of my second chance mate. This was a well-deserved action to trigger rejection from his side. I mean, what was wrong with me? I was a total clown and gosh… It sucked big time.
“You don’t expect me to believe that, do you? Now tell me mate, do I look so entertaining?” Cockily, he asked with a firm brow carved up. Now, what was I supposed to do with that? And… what was this woodsy scent I perceived from him? It smelled so delicious; totally lickable. “N-No.” I replied straight forward. I also couldn’t make a proper sentence without stuttering. Great!
My brows arched up when I saw Alpha Killian making his way towards me. I narrowed my eyes as he drew nearer. What was he up to? I had to do something, right now before I would do anything I would regret. Thus, my mouth moved immediately. “Let me go, Alpha.” I said that instant. It was something to divert his attention. I said it without even thinking.
I didn’t miss his look of confusion. I had expected it to stop him from approaching but instead, it even improved his footsteps. They thudded hurriedly towards me. I saw him ball his fists. In fact, he appeared so angry and pissed. Dear me, what did I do. “Now you’re dead.” Merida hissed. I rolled my eyes at her statement. Alpha Killian had already halted in front of me. He came closer and closer. As he did, I moved back, totally clueless of why he appeared pissed.
“Firstly, I’ll never let go of what is mine so consider this as your new home. On the second note, if you just tried to kill yourself and expect me to leave you alone then you must have the wrong thing coming.” He seethed. I thought he was done but when he took one more daring step toward me, I inwardly cringed inside. What was I going to do? His body heat was really turning me on and I was so helpless. I shouldn’t be surprised in anyway. I’ve always been this poor Omega who had been helpless for a while now.
“I am your Alpha and I ask that you remain beside me as my Luna, the mother of my pups and my mate. Is that too much to ask?” he concluded, though through more of a question. My back had already pressed against the wall. My face was definitely flushed from staring at him so intently. Oh, no! What was he up to? I was certainly not ready for whatever he was up to?
“I’m a useless and powerless Omega. Why must it be me?” I asked him. His enticing mouth moved, constructing a grin. Next, he was all focused on me. I shyly looked down from his optical force. They had this dominating glance that appeared so controlling. My stomach housed lots of butterflies from merely thinking of this all.
Death, Celeste.
You should want to die not thinking of this Alpha that would reject you soon. A voice at the back of my head told me.
“Cause the Moon Goddess never makes a mistake, love. If you were made mine, then you are mine. Mine and mine only.” My body reacted to that statement. My nipples froze in reaction to what he had said. Alpha Killian sniffled, directing his nasal structures to beneath my chin. His gaze was back up, staring at me like I had just dropped from an alien’s planet.
“I could smell your arousal, you know. Are you that turned on by me that easily?” he asked with a really demonic smile. My heart thudded in panic. I hated this! Why were mates so sensitive to each other’s scents? I wished I was able to twist the times to when I was inside that river. I would have gone to the deeper parts and ensured nobody ever found me. Perhaps, I would have peace of mine with my mum and dad. I won’t have to worry about mates!
“Y-You're m-making things up,” I retorted, stuttering and still looking down. He angled his face towards me, lifting up my chin. “We both know I’m not. I would rather keep it calm if I were you because next time you are aroused, I won’t be able to keep my hands off you.” Alpha Killian constructed. His frame retreated from mine. The next thing I knew he was going out the door. His guards entered that minute. They directed me to where I should stay.
Hell of what, Moon Goddess?

A/n Sorry for the late updates, guys!! Lost inspiration to pen down anything at all which is unfair on your side, I know. My sincerest apologies.
I hope you comment your feelings on this chapter.
*6 months later*Before Shadow Knight went back to land, he offered to teach Harry, his successor, how to manage the sea. Queen Calypso knew this was certainly going to take months, thus she offered we went back together, since I was still in process of transformation and discovering my powers.Day by day, I never did improve in the discovery of it. When it did highlight, I was unable to control it. My wolf wasn’t happy with me at all. It all had to do with the fact that I wasn’t going back on land, to Killian.But she didn’t understand.If I went back to land in this pitiful state, I would become a threat to the members of Fangs Clan Pack.Mum didn’t want that.She believed it was all patience, the sincerest virtues, that fixed it all.We were in her Royal Chambers, when her legendary rushed in suddenly.“My Queen! We just got a dreadful message from above,” sh
I almost choked on my words, the minute the Queen said that. My eyes lit with shock at the name she mentioned. I was beyond bewildered at what was happening.“S-Shadow Knight?” I repeated after her instantly.“Yeah, I know it’s all hard to take in. B- ““No, no, mum. You don’t understand!” I let out.“H-He’s the f-father to my mate. He’s Killian’s father, mum.” I answered her immediately.It seemed like fate wanted to play a game with me. I wasn’t surprised in anyway, because it always did that with me, for some reason.“What? That can’t be, dear. It’s ab-surd!” she exclaimed.“Are you sure about this?” she breathed out, asking me. I looked at her, alarmed, with my eyes still bolted.“Yes, he’s the one, Killian’s father, mate to Patricia Knight.” I said to her. Her eyes sh
“What truly happened?” I asked her. Instead of answering, she directed her staff midriff. Then, it came again. The epitome of that energy. Her hair blew mightily, once again, with a daunting and intimidating expression all on her features.As before, everything around me looked like an illusion suddenly. A force lifted us both. This made my mind lurk to various possibilities. I didn’t yelp this time. Either way, I wasn’t as calm as she was. She was certainly used to more of this.From the corner of my eye, I peeked at her and saw that she closed her eyes. Thus, I imitated her actions too, closing my eyes. Suddenly, it was like we were pulled from that world beneath the sea, to another.Again, my body was somewhat weightless and translucent. Slowly, I opened my eyes only to see that once again, we were underwater. My eyes naturally directed to her, my eyes to her, as we settled.My hands were clasped around hers tightl
Staring at her in pure surprise was the only thing I could do. Nothing made sense anymore these days, and it saddened me up. It made me confused as to why I felt like a stranger in the wolf pack.“Are you my m-mum?” I asked, with my eyes staring at all of her features which were similar to mine. I had always wondered why I didn’t look like dad. Seemed like I took more of her.“Yes, dear. I was the one who birthed you,” she answered, looking at me with a kind look in her eyes, without batting a lash. Her hands landed on my shoulders, soothing it sweetly. And at that instant, everything felt like a connection. I was drawn to this woman…Hold on a sec, why am I believing this easily?“And, why should I believe you? My mum died while giving birth to me. S-So how could you b-be?” Arching a firm brow, I asked her.“Or is this some kind of underworld, I do not know of?” I questione
Killian’s Pov“How much silver bullets are left in the pistols?” I asked, with clenched teeth to my Beta, Corey. Moon Ravagers Pack definitely had some balls to go against Fangs Clan. From what happened last night, I was going to put them in their place.“More than enough, Alpha. There are also add-ons in the store and more are being produced,” he dutifully let out, in a submissive stance.“Good, inform the men to be on watch-out. Any slight movement from any trespasser should be dealt with accordingly,” I ordered him.“Okay, Alpha.” he said, bowing down once more.Suddenly, one of the pack warriors came rushing in. His movement was filled with so much haste that it caught almost the attention of the other pack warriors.What’s this all about? Claw commented. I had felt him growing wild, but ignored him to focus on protec
Maliah’s PovI sighed in frustration.It’s been seven days since I’ve been in the dungeon and mum was still unbending on her decision to keep me here. After she discovered I communicated with someone on the surface, it was like she didn’t consider me to be her daughter anymore.She wouldn’t even allow the sea jury to put me on trial. Neither was anyone concerned about my case. I knew it was all mum’s doing. She was one of those people who protected the royal throne and tenets with all. Laying down her life for Oceania wasn’t an something quite new.Devoted to her duty, mum always guided the sea as Queen Calypso’s legendary guardian.Every member of the sea royals, had a guardian assigned to them by the ever-knowing Sea Goddess. It could be likened to a wolf’s world in a way. A legendary guardian was just like a mate. The only differen
After the conversation with Patricia, I made my way outside. This was to check on the pack members. It was like everything today happened here because of me.My eye caught the clock strike 12 when I walked out. The midnight air hit my face. I held my black dress, raising it up slightly to walk without stumbling. My shoes dug in the damp soiled ground with each step I took.From where I stood, I could see the pack finally settling. Most men and women were retiring to bed. I noticed a strange thing though. The children weren’t afraid in anyway. Instead, vengeance was written beneath the depths of their eyes.I was beginning to know the reason for Fangs Clan being the most feared pack. They trained everyone to fight, including children. Thus, these creatures didn’t even fear what was coming their way. Not a single one did cling to their parent in fear.Since the Moon Ravagers retreated, the environment was more peaceful. I could tel
From a distance, we watched as the fumes from the dungeon below curled in the air. I could only imagine the people who couldn’t get saved inside the dungeon at this moment. My mind was fogged with so many things. I was completely clueless of what just happened inside.Kate had just attempted to get rid of me and him.Panting, I directed my gaze to Caleb’s.On a spot, we were horrified from whatever had just happened now. He directed his eyes to mine. With a shaky hand, he pointed to my hand. My eyes directed to them too, examining it. They looked pale and whitish.“Y-Your hands, C-Celly...” he let out in a shaky voice.I cleared my voice before speaking, bracing myself up from the fact that we just almost died.“I know... I have no idea of what just happened, believe me.” I muttered, presently unsure. It was all like someone placed me in an unfamiliar place, leaving me to figure out everything about that place.“What’s happening?”
Mysterious darkness.It was like I was lost in a mysterious darkness, in spite of the fire that occupied the whole dungeon. It was strange that I could feel that indefinite darkness, occupying me. Something that could be likened to the same set of emotions, I had felt when dad was murdered in a cold blood.My hands reached for my ear, covering it from the numerous sounds I was presently hearing. My heart began to make erratic thuds from the memory lane I was taken back to. It was like something you dreaded, happening all over again. There was a creepy sensation lurking in my lower belly.“Dad…” My lips shakily let out. I didn’t even know when my mouth made out that word.“I didn’t mean to leave you, dad…” I added again. A feeling of déjà vu radiated through me, but this was different. Because something really dangerous, triggered this. The only thing was that I didn’t know what.
