Semua Bab Once A Luna, Now A Stealer?: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Callista.Some days after my big sword-fighting drama with Valencia, and the subsequent end of our tentative friendship, one morning, I get an email.After Valencia told Theon that the friendship between me and her was over, due to the fact that she was still in love with Theon and I was his true mate, I cried. I don't have a reason to lie about this, I brawled my eyes out. I really thought Valencia was a good friend so when she basically told me to go get screwed, it hurt.But I didn’t have the luxury of wallowing. I had online classes to attend, and during the one I had right after the debacle, my teacher told us that finals were coming up.That meant I had to push every sorrow to the very rear of my mind and start studying the hell off.Nothing can distract you from ex-friends than the looming threat of exams.So, I cooped myself inside my room, barred Theon from entering for an undetermined time for the foreseeable future, towed my ass to the study desk, and got into studying.I w

Theon."Goddess," I exclaim, not taking my eyes off her for a single second. I literally cannot look away from Callista.She is dressed in a plum purple-colored, sleeveless dress that shows off her pale, shapely arms and perfect shoulders. The dress is held by her raised cleavage which squints tantalizingly over the shimmery fabric, cinched at her slim waist with a simple strap of fabric, and the bottom skirt is shorter on the front while being longer in the back, nearly touching her ankle. There is a layer of gossamer purple fabric over the skirt, and it adds a voluptuous effect. She wears a single gold chain on her long neck, along with the crystal ring she always wears. Her hair is tied in an elaborate bun on the top of her head, but her bangs fall framing her face, lightly curved. On her ears are dangling earrings, and thin chains of gold that fall from her earlobes like mini waterfalls. Her feet are encased in glass-like high-heeled shoes. The makeup on her face accentuates the

Callista."Yeah?" Theon prompts me. "Callista? Are you okay? You're staring at your drink…"The tremors don't stop. They're uniform and consistent. A feeling of dread crawls up my spine just as the ring on my finger hums."Look at your drink," I tell him. "Doesn't that seem strange to you?"Theon squints at me, and opens his mouth to speak just as he looks down at his drink.His eyebrows hike up his scalp, and the next thing I know, he’s springing out of his chair, making it topple behind him, catching the surprised attention of all the guests on the dining floor."The ground is tremoring," he says, and then yells in a much higher voice. "Get the hell out of the building, there's an earthquake coming!"Just as he screams, a sudden jolt propels through the floor, and the restaurant descends into chaos. I hold on to the table to keep my balance as the floor moves beneath me, shuddering, making tremors run up my body. The lights start to flicker, and then electricity sparks fly out of th

Theon.As soon as I see the partially collapsed tower, I call for Callista. Then we run to the castle.A hundred thoughts pass in my brain because the west tower is where Elias is housed in. Letting myself think of what might’ve happened makes my heart race, and I try to remain as calm as possible, because no matter what, I can’t afford to let my people see me losing it. Especially at a time like this.As we near the castle, the commotion starts to get thicker.Has anyone died? Has the rubble from the collapsed part of the tower hurt someone? Or hurt more than one person? Elias can’t die like this. I hope to the Goddess that he's safe. I pray that the guards manage to get him out in time before his room gives out because it's the topmost part of the tower that has sustained the most damage.The rest of the castle appears to be stable and standing with only a few houses and buildings in the town are damaged, but as I note while running, it's not as serious as it had been back in the hu

CallistaElias moves to a room in the eastern wing, in the least used hallway of the place. Apparently, he’d protested the decision at first, saying that it wouldn't be safe for the residents of the castle if he is kept that closer to them.To us.He wanted to be stashed in a tower, or if that's not possible, the dungeons."Hell, no!" Theon had yelled.We'd been in his office; him, me, and Elias. I was there to make sure that Theon went straight to his room after the discussion so he could get some sleep. I noticed that he had a bad habit of running himself to the bone, and I couldn't let him do that.As his mate and girlfriend, it was my duty to make sure he didn't do anything stupid like neglect his health. "Why not? As the Alpha, you should always put the safety of your pack before a single wolf," Elias argued. "Well, why can't I do that while making sure you're comfortable?""Theon, you have families staying in the east wing," Elias replied, sounding tired."I'm aware, Elias, I
