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

    179CeleneNo. Impossible. The thought that the hours spent on the binding ritual had been for nothing disturbed me, I couldn't accept it.“No.” I whispered a ragged sob broke through my lips, “No…please.”“Mondrian! Please…I beg of you don't do this to me..” I. Cried rushing to pull the still body into my embrace, mondrian lay unmoving, his body cold.The crowd held their breath, their silence only made my fear surge, they watched with deep sorrow as I begged my mate to wake.One of the elders couldn't bear to watch me spiral, so he turned to Beta Alex, “Let us proceed.”Alex nodded, but hesitated looking past me and to my father. Alpha Daniel sighed then gave a subtle nod.I shook my head, scrambling away from reaching hands, “No! It isn't over. I can still do it.” Immediately the words fell through I placed my hand over his heart pushing the last of my energy into him until my head grew blurry.A hand grabbed at me and I twisted, struggling to escape, to get back to Mondrian. “No,

    178CeleneThe thrums of footsteps followed closely behind, as Alex's voice rang out, filled with shock and horror.I ignored him, my eyes fixed on Mondrian, my lips moving with the last of the spell.“Celene, stop!” My father's voice cut through, “What are you doing?”Alex drew this sword, his voice firm, “Stop this instance! Whatever you think you are doing, it's not going to help. This is far too dangerous.”“Don't stop me!” I snarled, slicing my wrist yet again, letting my blood drip into Mondrian's lips. Gasps filled the hall and I heard the sound of Zara's voice, barely above a whisper.“Celene no.” “I am saving him!” I shouted, my voice raw, and my eyes grew blurry, a side effect of using the ancient tongue. “I am trying to save his life!”“The king is dead, Princess Celene —”“He’s still here!” I screamed, “he isn't dead, I can bring him back! He’s not gone!”Alex strode towards me, his voice cold, giving no room for arguments “You cannot bring back the dead, Princess Celene

    177CeleneThe doors to the Grand Hall are closed shut, leaving me alone, with the echoes of sobs. The whispers of regret churned within my heart.Alex's words resounded within my mind, “You have until dawn, Celene. Say your goodbyes.”Dawn was only a few hours away. I had less than a few hours with Mondrian, and a few hours to do whatever was needed, but as the seconds switched to minutes and then hours, the burden of my incompetence weighed heavily on my mind.Despite my big talk to the crowd, I didn't know what to do or how to save my mate.I knelt by his side, the silence unbearable, yet there was nothing I could do to ease it.With a rough exhale, I reached for my mate's hands, mine trembled and his limp, pressing them to my heart.The thought of him gone forever, felt like a knife twisting into my heart. The tears I'd held at bay during Alex's confrontation, fell freely now, soaking Mondrian's ceremonial clothes.“I'm so sorry.” I whispered, “I have failed you.”“If only I had n

    176 Celene Alex strode Towards me, his shoulders tensed, his expression blank, he leaned over, his voice firm “Princess Celene, I am sorry.” I refused to look up at him, the pain of betrayal wreaking through my body. Mondrian's lifeless body was wrapped beneath my arms. He didn't move, his arms stretched out, brushed my shoulders, “The king wouldn't want you—” “Why?” I whispered cutting him off. He was startled at the question, his expression dark. “Pardon?” “Why!” I screamed, my voice raw and trembling with rage and grief, as I demanded, “Why didn’t you wake me up?!” Alex stepped back, his jaw clenched. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. I turned to the people around. Mondrains people. They shifted uncomfortably, avoiding my gaze. Arlen stepped forward, “Princess, please. King Mondrian wouldn't—” “I could have saved him.” I stated dully, cutting short whatever he'd planned to say, “I could have stopped the curse!” I thundered, staring daggers at the men bef

    175CeleneNo.The moment Alpha Daniel said those words, a silence overtook my mind, a loud yet ringing silence. Like a beach after a storm, it raged.Alpha Daniel continued to speak, to tell me all about my mate's death, but I could hear nothing, see nothing, feel nothing.The news struck me hard, breaking whatever hope I had managed to Garner after Christoff's betrayal.“No.” I whispered, looking at him, “You are lying.”Alpha Daniel hesitated, his eyes flashed with pity, and he patted my hands, “Celene, my child, I wish I could tell you that this is all a cruel lie. But sadly, it is not. It is with great sadness I inform you that the Lycan King is D—”“No.” I cut in more forcefully than the first, pulling my fingers from his grasp, “You are lying to me. This is all a joke. Tell me this is all a joke.”Daniel exhaled, scrambling up from his chair to assist me. I pushed his hands away as I struggled to stand, my legs wobbled, threatening to give way, I pushed forward ignoring the ach

    174CeleneHis arms whipped towards me wrapping around my neck, before I could understand what was happening.I gasped, and my fingers flew towards his scratching, in my attempt to get away, but he didn't relent, tightening his hold.Christoff stared down at me, his eyes flashed with an excitement that sent a chill down my spine.“You really are beautiful Celene.” He said, his voice lower than a whisper, and he leaned into my ear, “I wonder what you taste like. How about we mate before the ceremony? It doesn't matter which happens first does it.”He chuckled at my pale face, "Dint be shy darling. I'll be better than any you've ever had."Blood rose to my head, a warning bells rang as I processed his words without thinking, I unleashed my powers striking his face.Christoff, screamed in pain, releasing his hold on me. Without a second to spare a feigned a dodge and made a run for it.My heartbeat, louder than I'd ever heard, I urged my feet to move further, and my hand reached for the
