After class, I started to head to the cafeteria. Carson called my name and I turned. He waited as a couple of students scooted around me. "Celia. I overheard Jax say he wouldn't mind going to the lake with you. Did you tell your Dad about this morning?"

"Yes, Carson. I told my Dad and he is worried about what's going on and made me promise not to go out in the morning alone. Jax asked about it too and I told him I would miss going to the lake. He offered to go with me on his free mornings. I don't want him to waste his time just so I can do what I want. But I will miss my run and swim. I told him I would think about it, but I'm going to say no."

Carson nodded. I turned and started out the door and found Jax waiting in the hall. Carson followed me and said, "Hey Jax. Celia, tomorrow morning, I don't have patrol. I would be happy to accompany you to the lake. Where do you want to meet to start our run?" Carson smiled. We walked towards the lunch room. Carson kept pace with me. I slowed down and he slowed down. I sped up, he sped up. I wanted to just disappear. I ignored Carson's question. Why was he suddenly so close to me? I stepped forward, trying to get some space.

Jax headed over to Ang and I could hear him chuckling as he walked away. Goddess! Could I please just become invisible? Carson and I stood in the lunch line next to each other. I felt so awkward.

"Where do you want to meet to start our run, Celia?" He repeated.

"You don't need to do that. I will survive." I said quietly.

"I run every morning too. I normally loop around the reservoir. I like water too. Running with you to the lake will be a good change of scenery and a tougher course. Where do you want to meet to start our run?" Carson smiled.

"This is so awkward. " I muttered.

"Can we just drop it?" Please let him drop this! I don't want to be involved with anyone. "Seriously, Carson. It's fine. I'll get exercise some other way."

"I will be outside your house at 4 AM." Carson said, clearly not willing to let it go. "If you decide you want to run with me, all you need to do is step out the door."

I got my lunch and joined Ang and Jax. I picked at my food but didn't really eat. Today just kept getting weirder. Ang looked like she was going to burst with all the questions she was obviously holding back.

Jax kept smiling and finally said, "We are definitely running to the lake together on Friday if you go with Carson tomorrow. I can't let him be your only hero."

Ang snickered and said, "Carson is a man, so he can be a hero. You aren't a man, you're a pup." She stuck her tongue out at Jax. Jax made a face. He didn't like being considered a pup. That was obvious. I wish Ang would realize her teasing comments were pushing Jax away. I knew she liked him way more than she admitted.

"He's not my hero. And I'm not going to the lake with either of you. It would just be weird trying to swim my laps while being watched. And going with a guy defeats the purpose of having a quiet, peaceful morning." I said with disgust.

I ignored Jax and Ang for the rest of the day. When the final bell rang, I grabbed what I needed for homework and took off.

    I was quiet. I didn't know if I should say anything. My wolf was loud though. She kept saying he wasn't telling the whole truth. He was leaving out parts of the story. 'He said he wasn't telling parts that weren't his.' I reminded my wolf. She seemed to think for a moment.'You can leave. You can refuse Carson. You can be like Emilia.' My wolf said happily. 'I don't want to do that to Carson. He's a good man. He deserves to be happy. I deserve to be happy.''We won't make him happy. It will always be a struggle. You won't get to leave if you don't refuse him. He will never let you go.'Uncle Leo cleared his throat. "My dear, what is your wolf saying to you?" I frowned. "I don't want to tell you, because I think it will make you sad.""Should I guess?" He asked.I bit my lip. 'Don't tell him. He will stop us. He will put you under guard.' My wolf said.'Could you please shut up?' I asked her. 'I'm tired of your opinions.'"No, I won't make you guess. But I want you to know, my wolf

  • Unwanted Wolf   Chapter 102 - Beta Leo

    Celia seemed happy. She hummed as we sat down for breakfast. She didn't really eat. "My dear, are you not hungry?""I don't normally eat much for breakfast. I usually just drink juice and then grab a protein bar and eat it mid-morning." "Ah. Well then, let's get started." I said pushing my plate away. "No, finish your breakfast. I used to cook breakfast for my Dad and then sit with him while he ate. It's kind of nice to be here with you. It's like a morning with my Dad." She said and smiled. She continued humming. I pulled my plate back. "What are you humming?" "A song Carson and I danced to last night, I sang it softly as we danced. He said 'Imagine we are in our suite, I moved all the furniture to give us a dance floor. It's just you and me. I'll make the world go away for you.' He really is a good man. He seems to always know exactly what I need, even when I don't know myself." I smiled. 'You may be wrong. Emilia never told anyone you were a good man. She never voiced that wha

    I waited for Uncle Leo. I was feeling hopeful but nervous. Carson hadn't told me anything about what he and Leo spoke about. 'Because they are going to hide things from you.' My wolf said. 'Why do you think that?' I asked.'They won't want to scare you. They want you to stay and accept Carson.'I rolled my eyes. 'Could you say anything more obvious?' She was quiet. I heard a knock and ran to open the door. Uncle Leo smiled. I threw my arms around him and hugged him. "Thank you so much." "Let's go up to the Beta floor for breakfast." We walked up the stairs and he opened the first door on the right. It was light and airy. The living room had a white loveseat and a matching fainting couch that would be perfect as a reading spot. The deep blue carpet looked plush, like it would feel nice to walk on barefoot. "Wow! You're suite is different than I imagined. I had pictured dark wood, leather furniture, not so bright." He smiled, "This isn't my suite. We are having breakfast here in

    Beta Leo's story was sad. I understood why he didn't talk about his past. I'd wondered why he was unmated but never thought it was because his mate had left him. It scared me to think Celly might leave me. She seemed so happy recently. As I left this morning she kissed me and thanked me again for agreeing to train her. I went back to our suite. I wanted to check on Celly and reassure myself that we were okay. Celly had music playing, she was in her closet. I stood in the doorway watching her dance to the music as she looked for something to wear. "You're gorgeous!" I said and smiled. Celly walked towards me, she was only wearing her bra and panties. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled her body tight against mine. Celly kissed me and said, "I hope your meeting with Uncle Leo went well." "It did." I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight. "He is going to talk to you today. I think what he is offering will be good. He wants to help us." Celly smiled and said, "I'm sure i

    I paused, remembering how hard it had been. Those days when Emilia wouldn't even come to the door. When Ivar would apologize for her and beg me not to give up on her. I never considered giving up, I loved her too much. "We spent three months like that, me going to her house, her refusing to see me, Ivar telling me she wasn't doing well. Then she stepped outside. She didn't give me a chance to speak. She said, 'Leo, I'm not going to ever be able to accept you as a mate. You need to reject me. You deserve so much better than a used shell of your beloved. Please, set yourself free. Reject me. I will accept and leave Moonless Night.' She stood there, waiting. I was shocked, horrified that she wanted me to reject her."I took a deep breath. "I refused. I said to her 'Emilia, I love you. I need you in my life. I can never reject you. Please, I beg you, look at me. You know our bond is strong, we can survive anything together. I will do anything for you, my love.' She touched my cheek and s

    I didn't sleep last night. I paced. I tried to work out how to tell Carson about losing my Emilia without scaring him. Maisie is right, Carson is not me and Celia is not Emilia. The situations are different but similar enough to concern me.It's just before five. Carson should be here any minute. I asked him to meet me on the Beta floor. We will have privacy. I continued to pace. I stopped drinking a few hours ago. I'm sober, but Goddess, I want a drink. Carson knocked. I opened the door. "Beta Leo." He said as he bowed."Carson. Thank you for coming to see me." "You said it would help Celly. I'll do anything to help her." I frowned, I had said the same thing about Emilia and just like Carson I meant it. "Let's sit down." We moved into the living room and sat across from each other."I want to tell you why I don't have a mate. This is going to be difficult for me. I haven't spoken to anyone about my fated mate in years, so please bear with me."Carson nodded and leaned forward."I

    We went back into the living room and restarted the movie. Celia sat on the chair, so I sat on the floor in front of her and leaned against her leg. I wanted to ask her to move a little so I could share the chair, but I decided not to push my luck. Eckley was thrilled that I was touching her. Ever

    "Hey Ang. Let's go to my house and ask Jax to come over for a movie night. We haven't done that in a while."Ang linked her arm through mine. "Yes! You sit in the chair and I'll take the couch so Jax has to sit next to me." She smiled. Ang called Jax, I could only hear her side of the conversation

    After school, I was trying to decide if I should go to the Luna's office or Roger's office first. I decided the schedule with the Luna would be better first. Then I could give a copy of it to Roger and make sure there was no conflict with my patrol schedule. I jogged to the packhouse. I headed f

    I walked away from Carson. I shook my head trying to clear it. Why would he want to help me leave the pack? In my head, I heard, 'He wouldn't help if he knew your plan.' I shook my head again and started chewing on my bruised bottom lip. I hurried to class. Thankfully, Carson and Jax were not in
