Celene

I stood so quickly that my chair screeched against the floor. The room goes quiet and I could feel everyone’s eyes on me, but I didn’t dare to look up. “Bathroom.”

I bolted for the Exit, ignoring Zara as she popped up from her seat, and hit on my heels. “I’ll come with you!”

As soon as we turned a corner, Zara caught on, wrapping her arm around my shoulder.

“Celene,” Zara said, her tone teasing but soft, “you’ve got to relax. You’re acting like Mondrian just sprouted a second head.”

I shot her a look, even as a small laugh escaped me. “It’s not that. It’s just... the way he looks at me. It’s intense.”

“Well, yeah,” she said, leaning casually against the wall as I fidgeted. “If you didn't notice. You are stunning tonight. It would take a dead man not to notice that.”

I blinked at her, caught off guard. “What?”

“Stunning,” she repeated, smirking now. “Don’t tell me you didn’t notice how the crowd kept stealing glances at you. Heck, even Mondrian couldn’t keep his eyes

    81 Celene I woke up the next morning with a smile, a combination of nerves and excitement swirling in my chest. Last night's talk with Mondrain replayed in my head, I couldn't believe I and Mondrian had more in common than I thought or that Mondrian had such a sweet side to him. The past twenty-four hours spent with him were beginning to make me wonder why I had never given him a chance before. I guess it was all the goddess will, to act the way I did back at Purple Pack. At least now I'll get to know him better without the distraction that was my sister or stepmother. Today was the day Mondrian promised to help me with my wolf. I’d never had any proper training before—mostly because of the curse and the fear holding me back after the last time I went on a rampage. However I still feared the worst Mondrian had offered, and I wasn’t about to waste the opportunity, even if the thought of losing control again made my stomach churn. The sun had barely begun to rise when my door wa

    81 Celene The cheerful chirping of birds was the first thing I noticed, but it barely registered over the pounding of my heart. The second was the blood rushing to my head, and the third was the warm, rich scent of cocoa and earth— of Mondrian that wrapped around me. Pulling me into comfort. His chest cradled my head as if it were the safest place in the world, and for a brief moment, I allowed myself to melt into his embrace. Clearing my throat, I shifted slightly, placing my hands against him to create some distance. I expected him to let go, but instead, another arm slid around my waist, pulling me even closer. My breath hitched in surprise, my body now fully pressed against his. “I’ve missed you,” he murmured, his breath breath brushing my ears as his deep voice vibrated through his chest, scattering my thoughts. “We met last night,” I managed to reply, my voice barely steady. My fingers twitched against his chest, betraying the war inside me—the urge to lean into him and le

    83 Mondrian The sound of hurried footsteps approaching shattered the moment between Celene and me. I stilled turning around to face the threat pushing Celene behind me. She looked up at me, her wide eyes full of curiosity and concern, but I had no time to explain. A soldier emerged from the corner, his face tinted with worry and his breathing ragged. This could have been avoided if he'd warped towards me, but I had the wizards cast a spell voiding the warping magic from working for this practice. I wanted to make sure Celene was protected in every way. Watching the soldier run towards me reassures my decision. I immediately straightened, my senses sharpening at the sight of him. “Alpha Mondrian,” he said, bowing slightly, his voice taut with confusion. “You’re needed at the gate. There’s... trouble?.” “Trouble?” The word hung in the air and I pondered over his tone. “What's going on?” The soldier bowed, his emotions flashing on his face with confusion evident, “Alpha I

    84 Celene The training ground grew quiet after Mondrian left, the sounds of rustling leaves and chirping birds do little to fill the space he left behind as he rushes away. I stayed exactly where he told me to, searching around I settled down sitting cross-legged on the soft earth of the training ground, my arms resting on my knees. Despite my curiosity about what was happening, I decided to follow his instructions. He’d seemed... worried, and I didn’t want to add to his burden besides I felt it would be a good opportunity to trust in him. Still, my mind raced with questions. What could be so urgent that it pulled him away like that? And why had the soldier looked so tensed and confused when he had approached us? I sighed, brushing a wisp of my hair that had escaped my hair band back from my face. Focus, Celene. This was my chance to work on what we had started earlier. Maybe this time around my wolf would listen and I could turn. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, letting

    85 Mondrian A sudden silence engulfed the area, my voice echoing through the trees, the rogues in tandem reacted to Celene's name, causing the warriors around to stand on guard. Alex’s head snapped toward me, his eyes narrowing. “Are you sure?” “Look at them,” I said, gesturing to the rogues. “They aren't attacking. Barely doing anything but the moment they heard her name. See how they acted—wild. See their eyes, it's not on us is it?” Alex shook his head, turning to access the rogues. The longer I thought the surer I felt, “When I arrived we thought they were staring at me. We were wrong— they were staring behind me. And when they reacted the first time, it must have been to Celene's scent.” Alex cursed under his breath, his fists clenching. “What do you want to do, Alpha?” “Protect Celene at all times,” I said without hesitation. “Even if there's no chance of them getting to her, I want her protected. Issue a guard to follow her in hiding at all times.” Alex nodded, already

    86 Celene The singing birds and Zara’s presence seem so far away, the once bright day and thoughts of hope dashed with the heaviness of pecan words. She was right. Her meaning was evident between the lines of words she never said, and yet I heard it. I had brought my terrible luck to White Fire, putting its people in danger. “Are you okay?” Zara's words of concern break into my thoughts drawing me out of the sadness that was quickly engulfing me, “I don't know what she said, but you shouldn't be listening to Pecan, Celene she is filled with spite. You know that don't you?” She asked, covering the space between us in large strides, her face etched with concern. Tears, large and hot well in my eyes ready to fall at any second, pecans eyes widened, pulling me Into a hug, “ Oh Celene. No. Don't cry. Whatever it is she said, you shouldn't believe her. Pecan is nothing but a manipulating wit—” “Is it true?” I interrupted, my voice trembling. “Is what true?” Zara asked, her chin pr

    87 Celene Trust. It was such an easy word to say, yet so heavy. A word that could either make or break the toughest of situations. A word I had given freely and had gotten punished for it, Although I had learned my lesson with Ella and Christoff I find myself staring into the warm grey eyes of Alpha Mondrian. Thinking would it be wrong to trust one more time? Although the tension between Mondrian and me eased after the kiss, Although I couldn’t ignore the pain and guilt I had felt at Pecan's accusations, the need to defend myself grew deep within my heart. I couldn’t ignore the sincerity in his eyes when Mondrian held onto me, begging me to trust in him. Something about it all felt too real, or maybe It was my heart yearning for the warmth of a mate, the hope that this time around it would be different. Either way, I decided—throwing caution to the wind—to trust him. After all, hadn’t I clung to hurt and mistrust for long enough? Ella’s venomous words and Christoff’s betray

    88 Celene This wasn't what I had in mind when I suggested you rest Celene,” Alera my wolf and now accomplice huffed at me as I sneaked out of my room and into white Fire's library. The library was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that pressed on my ears and made my footsteps feel too loud. I shouldn’t have been here, sneaking around without Mondrian knowing, but something deep within me urged me on. I was restless, the incomplete story of my mother, a constant hum urging me to uncover the mystery behind it all. What would have pushed my mother into giving it all up for another and why after everything the white wolves had done for the people, they are feared and cursed? Stepping into the library, a huge burden I didn't know I had is lifted from my shoulder as if it were welcoming me, wrapping me in an invisible embrace. Rows upon rows of books stretched before me, greeting me, their spines marked with titles that hinted at centuries of knowledge. At that moment I knew, I wo

You come to my pack and accuse people. How dare you?” Her eyes widened in shock at the attack, Ella had never seen me get angry or use force, “it's true I'd never lie!” She shouted struggling against the guards “You have to listen to me Celene, Your so-called Alpha is the devil. He sent me after—” “Shut up!” Mondrian ordered shocking us both, confused I turned to find him glaring at Ella, “If you know what's good for you, then you better keep your mouth shut.” Ella laughed at his words, “or else what? You'll kill me? Maim me. Celene can't you see, he's threatening me to protect his image.” Confused I looked over at Mondrian, his eyes refusing to meet mine, but the trust I had for him was overwhelming scoffing I stepped away from Ella, “It's good to know that the leopard never changes its s

    CHAPTER 109 Celene POV. “Celene i….” Mondrian was about to say the reason why he brought me out before we heard the alarm bell ringing. Immediately Mondrian hands stretched into claws, pulling me behind him. “stay here, while I go, check it out” he said sharply. “If you think for a second, I'm going to stay here like a fucking damsel in distress while the pack is under attack, then you'll have to think again” I snapped, pulling his claws away from me, “I am going with you whether you like it or not.” I added, raising my chin to meet his. His eyes darkened, and he growled. “Are you out of your damn mind, definitely not I forbid it,” “And who is going to stop me,” I asked, crossing my arms, “I'm going to follow behind whether you like it or not.” “No! Celene, it could be dangerous out there,” he reasoned, his voice lower than before, “ and I don’t want you getting hurt, I won't be able to forgive myself should any harm come your way.” I leaned into his warmth, my skin ting

    CHAPTER 108 CELENE P.O.V Nothing prepared me for the aftermath of transformation. I could feel the energy within me surging, my senses heightened and my power flowed freely. I had never felt this way, not when I'd attacked Purple Pack or when I had transformed in front of Mondrian. It was as though the full moon was enhancing every part of me. Without thinking I raised my head and howled to the moon. One became two and soon everyone was howling along. With a chuckle I turned, my eyes searching for Mondrian, only to find his eyes already on me, his lips tugged up in a smirk and something flashed within his eyes— pride. Before I could speak he stepped back and began his transformation, his bones breaking and rearranging until he stood before me on all fours, big and beautiful with beautiful red–orage fur that looks as though on fire. The moment our eyes clashed, the attraction was instant, his scent wafted into my nose, pulling me into a feathery embrace. My wolf jumped in excite

Increasing my strength and speed. I have been busy making preparations for the full moon festival, our defense has been strengthened, it was a special time for my pack, and I needed to make everything perfect. My mind raced, as I wondered how Celene was faring, I had been so busy as the head of the pack, making arrangements, and giving out instructions that I hadn't had the time to see Celene in a while. If I have been sincere, I have been avoiding her. I can’t seem to see her right now, not after everything. I need to make it right first, to build a new relationship with trust. “Your Highness” Alex walked in. The scouts are ready for the hunt,” It was the tradition of the pack, that the leader of the pack leads the scouts to hunt for meat used for the festivities. “Okay, and the decorations

    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
