183Celene The conversation I had with Mondrian had been the right course of action. Mondrian's words, although crass and unapologetic had a soothing effect on me, it felt as though a burden had been lifted off my chest.I pulled away from my window, walking further into my room. Since returning I hadn't had time to look around but from the look of things it had been very well taken care of. A small smile graced my lips at the thought of Mondrian ordering the maids to clean despite my absence. It sent a jolt of warmth down my chest making me giddy.The memory of our last conversation replayed in my head, his words of love and promise, reminding me that I had done the right thing.“I can't promise not to sacrifice myself, if there's is even a single hope that it might save you, Celene.” He said, brushing the tendrils off my face.Alex's expression had darkened at his words, Arlen looked stricken, and Zara looked ready to jump him if she could get away with it, but they held back waiti

185Celene After Alex's words, the four of us had fallen into deep silence each of us thrown into the depths of our thoughts.When a consensus couldn't be reached, Mondrian finally broke the silence, with a sigh, “I'm sure everybody is tired how about we all take a break and revisit the issue later in the day?”Th the trio didn't object, together they filed out of Mondrian's room, at his behest and guidance with the promise of revisiting when everything was calm, leaving me alone with my mate.The moment the door shut behind Arlen, Mondrian turned to me pulling me in for a deep kiss, taking my breath away.When he finally released me, my vision grew blurry, my chest heaved with the strain, but my lips tugged in a wide smile, “What was that for?”He shrugged, nuzzling the gap in my neck, “Nothing, just wanted you to think of me, instead of whatever it is that was putting a frown on your face.”“And what makes you think I am no longer thinking about it?”He stared, his eyes wide with a

187Celene“No.” I cried, glancing at each of their eyes, “Is there nothing we can do? We have to stop him. At least until we've gotten a hold of the situation.”Alex shook his head, “There's nothing we can do. Until Mondrian is fully healed and you are strong enough. The council will not support either going into battle.”Zara huffed, “Alex is right. The council is still wary of the King. If he makes any sudden decisions that don't align with them. They could believe he is under your hold.”“What do I care what they think? I am still their king.” Mondrian growled.“That's true, but the people are still in shock. They need time to get used to your awakening.”Mondrian moved to argue but I shook my head, stopping him from arguing.“I don't want to cause any problems between you and your people. Why don't we talk to him? Maybe he'll listen to you.”“I doubt that.” Alex snorted, “But it's all we have.”I nodded. “We have to try. Before it is too late.”“When do you suggest Mondrian talks

189Celene The almost empty room grew silent at my outburst.With Christoff's erratic action, Mondrian had been forced to cut his healing time early and Alex had followed him for support, leaving me in Zara and Arlen's care. Arlen stood from where he sat, an arm raised in his bid to keep the peace.“Princess Celene please calm down. Zara meant well–”“I know she did. That's what makes it more painful.” I spat, cutting him off, “She might mean well but she doesn't understand.”Zara flinched, “That's not fair, Celene. I might not understand what you are currently going through. But your father is an Alpha. It is his job to protect his people. His actions might seem silly but it is quite dependable.”“Dependable?” I spat, eyeing her from the corner of my eyes, “When he is dead and gone, will be dependable save him? Will it save his so-called pack?”The green-eyed beauty sighed, “You know I'm right Celene. It might not account for much but what your father is doing. Is something to be p

191CeleneElla's teary words rang through the hall. Her shoulders shook with every nerve-wreaking sob, her fingers knitted together in a plea.“It might not mean much, but I am sorry. I apologize for everything my mother has done to you. For everything I've done to you. I deserve to die.”I froze, my gaze flashed to meet her tear-streaked face, but she continued “My mother….No, Valerie, was a monster even to me her child. She was cruel and selfish. I don't know why I let her use me for so long why I yearned for her love.” She wheezed, her tears streaming down her face.I didn't know what to say, there was nothing to say. I understood her need for acceptance, her need to be loved, who was I to fault her for that? What I wouldn't accept was her actions towards me and those I loved but before I could tear into her she added, wiping her tears, “I know you didn't kill her.”I crossed my arms, “How would you know that? I killed her, ripped her apart.” Ella seemed to have gotten a hold of
