Chapter 23

Authors POV

“That doesn’t make us even.” Celene whispers, hee hands reaching out to brush the hair that’s falling across her face. Her hands touched the pair of skin that reached out also to brush the hair backwards.

Celene couldn’t figure out what to do, hee emotions were once more going haywire and completely all over the place again. What was with her entire existence seizing to listen to anything she had to say when he was near.

“Do you want me to get you your clothes??” Mondrian asked in an attempt to at least offer her the sense of privacy she so clearly needed. He studied her entire features watching as her brows furrowed almost in the same time frame that he’d possibly had a thought.

It was rare to find other werewolves possessing powers similar to that of the Lycan Genus, Alex had explained that celene had exhibited some form of empathetic mirror ability. One that occurred due to instability of one’s natural power.

    Chapter 24 Celene’s POV My heart was pounding furiously in my chest as I opened the door to my room, with the anticipation of no more than finding the solitude that was becoming my good friend. But as I stepped through the door frame, there, standing in the center of the room, was Cristoff, his presence as unexpected and unwelcome as it was. His eyes cut straight into mine, his gaze piercing deep within my soul. "Where have you been?" Desperation laced in the tightness of his voice, though it stayed serenely cool as ever. My first reaction to him being there was an angry storm mixed with fear. I was cautious, wasn't I? Nobody was supposed to know about my affairs. Least of all, Cristoff. For a moment, I just stayed there, appalled, my mind reeling for some possible means of escape. "What are you doing here?" I finally demanded, my voice sharper than I had intended it to be. I stepped backward, trying to put some distance between us, as though somehow this could ease the tensi

    Chapter 25 Celene pov Cristoff, stop! You're too loud, someone might hear you," I said to him, placing my ear on the door to feel if someone might be outside. "But are you sure you're telling me the truth? Because, believe me, I am really confused here," I said, trying to pull my hands away from his grasp. But he held them tight, his eyes locked on mine. "Celine, just look into my eyes. Do you think I would stand here lying to you?" he asked, his voice filled with sincerity. But I could see in his eyes that he wasn't joking. There was so much seriousness written all over him. I was taken aback by his intensity. "But how can I understand all this, Cristoff? This isn't making any sense," I said, feeling frustrated and confused. "I know, and I understand you very much," he replied, his grip on my hands still firm. "But why do you think I've been coming to your room the previous nights? It was because I wanted to talk to you, to tell you the truth." I looked at him, searching for

    Chapter 26 Celene's pov The smacks of our shoes hitting linoleum were the only sounds that could be heard in the empty hall, as I walked down the halls with Christof by my side. We moved in silence each with their thoughts as to why we had been called— I had been called, but for reasons known to Christoff, he had insisted on coming along, despite my desires that he did not. I shot a glance at the man who had hurt me, by sleeping with my stepsister. And now had returned to beg for forgiveness, something I wasn't too sure I could give. Though his excuse had stirred at my guilt, I couldn't help but feel I had made the right decision as a flash of our conversation played in my mind. “Celene please believe me I never meant to hurt you. All I had done was for you.” Christof said, falling on his knees beside me. I scoffed, my arm folded as I raised my brows in hot indignation, “You truly expect me to believe that nonsense. That you slept my step-sister-terr was for my good?” I hissed at

Or do you think yourself better than us?” My heart pounded as a deep feeling of fear churned in the deeper parts of my stomach, This was the Valerie I knew, she had always made me feel smaller than I was, It was a favorite pastime for her, yet I still haven't gotten used to it, she would wheedle and prodded until I felt stupid and unwanted and when I turned towards my father for help he would look at me blankly before excusing himself. With Alpha Mondrain's arrival and his interference, she had laid low and I had forgotten her bullying ways, but the good thing only lasted for a while it seemed, I bowed my head as I answered her. “I apologize stepmothe

    Chapter 28 Valerie pov What am I doing here? I wondered as I watched the chaos unfold. How did I get so low as to be reduced into nothing but an errand girl, to be ordered by a man? My kingdom hijacked, and my authority questioned. I seethed in disgust as I settled into my seat waiting for this all to be over. “My lady are you all right, do you perhaps need anything? Alpha Mondrian was too harsh.” Talia my long-time aid and closest companion whispered to me, her voice tainted with worry. I waved at her to assure her, “I am fine. Don't worry too much about it, soon it will be over and he will be gone. When did the other party say they would be leaving?” I questioned, as I tried to drown the argument already heated. Talia hesitated in her speech her eyes widened, as an annoying scream of ‘No’ resounded round the hall, I frowned as I turned towards her, “Ignore them. Tell me. Has there been any news ?” “My..my..lady…” The frightened girl, stuttered as she tried to ignore the hea

There's no need to do that anymore. I'll be leaving now.”My cheeks puffed unwilling to spout my displeasure, Christoff squeaked as he ran to b

    Chapter 30 Mondrian “Celene I beg of you, listen to…” The bang of the giant oat door, hitting its frame told me all I needed to know. Firstly Celene was angry the second she was gone. The woman set to be my bride was gone, and with her a man I was beginning to wonder why I hadn't removed him from the picture long ago. I ran a hand through my face as I wondered how it came to be like this, how could I have been so stupid as to fight over her choices? I needed to make things right. As I readied myself to warp into time, ready to go after her. My senses urged me to move and yet I remained where I stood. Did she want me to? Wouldn't she hate me more if I simply ignored her request? Amidst my dilemma, the thuds of feet remind me of the people I had ignored, I turn to find the servants, helping each other up, many still pale from my burst of Aura, my eyes soon clash with a pair of violets that seemed mostly unaffected, I felt a flush of annoyance as Valerie's eyes crinkled, her li

    Chapter 31 Authors POV “What are you saying, Alpha Mondrian?” The shrill cry of Ella echoed through the shrubbery forcing Mondrian to wince. “I thought you loved her and wanted her for yourself, why do you want me to kill her?” An angry scoff resounded, as Mondrain, moved towards Ella, a disapproving glare etched on his face. “Of course I love her. When I say attack her I don't mean hurt her.” He spat, shaking the shivering girl, “ The plan is simple, you are to pretend to cause problems for her so I can save her, when that happens she will surely feel grateful to me, giving me enough time to spend with her and get her to be mine.” “What?” Ella asked incredulously at the Alpha's offer, she looked up at the Alpha, staring to see how serious he was, “ Alpha Mondrian surely you can't be serious. You want me to stage attacks on your bride to make her fall for you. Is that the only plan you could come up with?” Mondrain bubbled with anger as Ella looked him up and down with a pityi

    106 Celene I stalked out of the gym, my head pounding with words I wanted to say to Mondrian, words I was sure I would regret. Alera my wolf remained silent, but I could feel her nervousness within me. She too had been hurt by Mondrian's actions and she couldn't understand why he had done such a thing, after all his pursuit. A part of me wanted to ask why wanted to fall on my knees begging and screaming, wanted to listen to his explanations, but another part of me, the pride and ego refused. It was angry at his actions, his disregard for my body. With an angry growl I kicked up the dust before me, when that didn't calm my anger I stamped my feet into the dirt a couple more times When my head finally clears I realize, where I am standing, looking up I see the big wooden door, beautifully carved with the encryption ‘library’ sprawled before me. Heaving a sigh, I walked into the room, with thousands of books calling my name. My fingers trailed over the spines of the books, my mind

    Chapter 105 Mondrian I watched as Celene walked away, her posture stiff, her head held high, but I knew better. She was hurt and it was all my fault. I could understand her pain, after her countless refusals, I knew how it felt to be rejected by someone made for you. My eyes followed the swaying of her hip as I stood stuck deep in thought. My brows scrunched in a frown, my mind spinning as a war raged inside me, each side pulling me in opposite directions. I wanted to run after her, to explain why I had done what I did, to beg her to understand, but what was the point? What would change? Without evidence, it would just be empty words and broken promises. No. I couldn't waver now. I wanted her to see the man I was becoming for her love. But still, her dismissal rubbed me the wrong way, and I didn't know how to go about my feelings. I scoffed at my worries, who would believe that I, Lycan Mondrian king of a thousand pack had been tamed by a feisty woman? I clenched my fists,

At the slam of the door, I flicked the files arranged on my desk away, but my chest heaving. Minutes passed and I was still riled up, I knew I needed to get some air, anything to calm down. Heading for the garden, I stopped at Celene's favorite spot, my mind weighing heavily on me when I overheard some voices. They belonged to Ethan and Daniel, guards of the pack, I am about to snap at them when I hear Celene’s name curious I listen in. “Did you see that fight, Daniel? I mean it was crazy!!” “Yeah, who would have thought Pecan that crazy woman would have her arse beat.” “That's exactly my thoughts. I never knew Princess Celene had it in her. She always looked so meek.” “Of course, she can't be meek, she's the Alpha, Luna to be. She has to have a hidden power right.” “You are so right any one the Lycan king chooses has to be extraordinary. I can't wait for

I asked angrily. “You do not defy me, “I am your alpha”. I said, shaking her, I was so enraged that I could not see the fear in her eyes or the way she was trembling when I touched her. Maybe I had been too harsh on her, she just turned, and that alone can be overwhelming, i was about to apologize to her when she flared up, “How dare you Mondrian, You treat me like I am some kind of weakling,” “I am your mate, I should be able to protect you and this pack in the best way possible.” “And if you, my alpha and mate, can't see this, then what am I doing here?” She retorted. Didn’t see that coming, this Woman has got some guts, Not many people could talk back to me, after the manner and way I spoke. I was impressed, it means she cannot be pushed around ea

    102 Celene Pecan's eyes gleamed with triumph as she stepped back, gesturing toward the sparring ring. “Finally. Let’s see what you’re made of.” As I followed her to the circle, my heart pounded in my chest. I knew this was a bad idea, but I couldn’t back down now. I had to prove, if not to Pecan, then to myself, that I wasn’t weak. The soldiers around us stopped what they were doing, turning to watch as Pecan and I squared off. One of them moved to say something, but Pecan turned him away, warning them all to back off, before turning towards me. She looked confident, her posture relaxed, while I felt the weight of pity eyes on me, judging me before I’d even begun. “Ready?” Pecan asked, her smirk never fading. I nodded, swallowing hard. “Good. Let’s see if last night wasn't a fluke.” The moment Pecan lunged at me, I realized just how unprepared I was. Her movements were quick, precise, and entirely too confident. Truly worthy of being one of Mondrian's most revered warriors, I

    101 Celene The thoughts of the previous night kept replaying in my head, couldn’t stop replaying the moment in my mind. Mondrian walked away from me, his face a myriad of emotions that I could place, walking away from me after that hug that left me wanting him to stay, yet too embarrassed to do anything. What was that all about? It wasn’t like him to act so cold, Mondrian always made sure to savor every single moment of our time together. That hug should have lasted for quite a while before breaking it with a kiss. Although I tried not to think too deeply about his actions, I couldn't help but feel his walking away had to do with the promise he had made to me. Did he not want to do it or was he having second doubts? The thought ate at me all night. Twisting and turning in bed all night, pulling the blanket tighter, then throwing it off entirely. Sleep eluded me no matter what I did or how hard I tried. My mind kept circling back to him— his expression, him walking out without so

    100 Mondrian I stepped into my office to find Alex my beta and best friend waiting for me, his arms folded and his face set in his usual calm and unreadable expression. Although It was his usual look, but something about it annoyed me. Maybe it was the tension in the air, or maybe it was the way my own guilt over Celene—walking away from her—still clung to me like a heavy cloak. Either way, I wasn’t in the mood for pleasantries. “Alex,” I greeted curtly, nodding as I took my seat at the head of the desk. "Alpha," he responded, his tone even, but I caught the flicker of Amusement in his eyes. He knew something. Before I could say anything more, Arlen walked in, his boots clicking against the floor as he joined us. His young face showed none of the excitement he usually eluded instead the shadows under his eyes and the way he sighed told a different tale. It was not surprising, considering the mission I’d sent him on. "Arlen," I said, leaning forward. "Any News young one? Are t

I stopped mid-step and turned to her, my jaw tightening. “I was harsh for a good reason.” My voice was cold and fiand rm, Zara’s eyes held mine, “She disobeyed me, Zara. She could’ve gotten hurt or worse.” “She didn’t, though,” she countered, her voice calm but firm, her arms crossed across her chest. “And yelling at her like that isn’t going to make her listen to you. If anything, you’re just going to push her further away. I thought you wanted her to fall for you. This isn't the way Mondrian.” Her words hit me like a blow to the chest. I hated to admit it, but she was right. The look on Celene’s, face when I had scolded her—hurt, betrayed, and shocked kept replaying in my mind. It made me feel sick to my stomach.

The energy I’d felt when I had merged with Alera surged through me, I could feel the electric tension as my hands trembled from the rush. What the heck was that? My mind whirling as It struggled to process what had just happened. Pecan’s stunned face didn't change as she stared at me, and I couldn’t shake the image of her flying. Albeit satisfying that should have been impossible, I shouldn't be able to do that…not with Pecan who had a place in Mondrian's army, rumors about her slaying mountains of men had welcomed me on my very first day, despite her nasty attitude, she was someone Mondrian had acknowledged and I had thrown her with a flick of my wrist. The hallway grew eerily silent, for a second it all felt like a dream, but my heartbeat pounded loudly in my ears telling a different tale. Then, out of nowhere, Zara appeared, her face full of worry as she hurried toward me. “What happened? I heard a scream,” s
