All Chapters of REJECTED BY HIM, DESIRED BY HIS TWIN : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Celeste's POV Eva left and I sat in my room for a moment, I had to talk to Ragnar, I wasn't sure he would listen to me but the people couldn't suffer due to his lack of wisdom. It wouldn't be right. I strengthened my mind as I went to his office where I knew he would be. I was right because his loud voice came through the doors. I stopped, taking a breath to contain my nervousness. I didn't want to walk in there stuttering or being shy in any manner, he would get the win again if I did that. His door stood like a huge boulder to another world. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and walked inside, if I didn't say anything, I would be failing the very people who had given us their trust that we would protect them as their leaders. I opened his door and walked in, not knocking which was my first mistake because there on his lap sat Sarafina, he had his arms around her while he kissed her deeply. A sharp pain went through my chest at the sight, I couldn't stand it. I wanted to

Celeste’s POVEva watched me closely as I came towards her, her eyes followed every movement I made. “What happened?” she asked as soon as I reached her.I stared at her, my decision had been firm previously but now, when I was so close to giving it, I wasn’t so sure anymore. Finally I spoke, “He refused to do anything again just as he has this entire time”Her face twisted into a frown, “He cant do that, his people are going to die,” she made as if to go to his office but I stopped her, taking a breath for what I was about to say. It could be classified as treason.“But that doesn’t mean we cant do anything, we cant let those people die Eva.” I went closer to her, dropping my voice so that anybody who tried to eavesdrop wouldn’t hear me, “We can still fight for them even if he wont assist us”Her eyes brightened when she realized what I meant, “Finally, someone is making a move to protect the people” she sounded relieved and eager to start, “We will attack them tonight, they wont see

Celeste's POVI woke up some time later, I wasn't sure how long had passed since there wasn't any indication for me. The lights were off and so was everything else, not even a window. My head hurt with a hard headache, it didn't even seem like I could move it but I managed to, propping myself against the wall to rest. I sat like that for hours, I was sure until I finally heard footsteps coming towards me. Someone was finally coming to see me. A guard stopped in front of the door, something in his hands - a tray when I looked closely. He use the space in between the bars, dropping the plate for me with a bottle of water. “Your food Luna" he said before he turned to leave. Before he could disappear, I rushed after him, “Please what time is it?" I asked. He paused for a moment but didn't turn, “We were asked not to speak to you Luna, for no reasons, orders from the Alpha" he answered and continued. “But wait" I called out in fear, this time he didn't stop or turn to look at me. I

Celeste's POV I wasn't sure how many hours had passed with Hela treating me. I had been going in and out of consciousness throughout, the pain either too unbearable or I just didn't have too much strength to try to stay awake. I was about to drift off again but it didn't seem like she would tolerate that, “No no, keep your eyes open. The drugs have to take effect and sleeping makes it slower and less effective" her voice was soft yet firm - a mother's tone. I felt a part of me yearn for what I could never have, that closeness and love that was shared through the maternal bond. It was gone, they hadn't wanted me enough for that. Her hands rubbed my back softly, keeping me awake. Suddenly, I felt something cold on my arm and my eyes widened in shock. I could hear her laughter, soft, “Yes, I'm sure you'll stay awake now" “How long does this treatment need to go on now? It's almost evening now" one of the guards asked her. I had noticed that the old guard had left and this one didn'

Celeste's POV Even though Eva's confirmation shouldn't have surprised me, it still did. Sarafina's power had slowly increased in the days I had been gone. It was obvious in how much he was listening to her. As Eva left me to the room, she confirmed another fact. “Maybe it's because she's pregnant with his child, they say it's a boy this time" My head shot to her, “It's still early to say" I said, wishing in my heart that it wasn't so. She shrugged, “That's what they say. None of it has been confirmed yet and I don't think so anyway." She sighed, opening the door for me. We went inside and I fell on the bed. My strength had fallen in all my time inside there and now I just wanted to sleep in my soft bed and sleep until I was feeling much better, then I would do some thinking. “Food will be served soon Luna and then you can come out. I can't imagine how stifling it's been for you in there" her voice dropped and I listened as she walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her
