Celeste Chapter 9 Novels & Stories

I curl my body around hers, laying my head down on the ground near hers. Nightfall hits when a small group of women enter the camp. Their eyes instantly land on us, likely due to my size and light fur. One of them lets out a gasp, "Celeste!" She drops the game that she had been carrying and runs towards us, stopping short of me. Celestial, who had previously been asleep, opens her eyes. The woman hesitates briefly before closing the distance between us, kneeling on the ground. "Mom," Celestial croaks. The woman drops to her knees, her hands finding Celestial's face. "My baby girl." A cry leaves her lips, "Who did this to you?"

Chapter 12: The Bedroom Change CELESTE With Dmitri gone and it being way past my bedtime. I decided to head into my suite that was located on the opposite end of the hallway from Xenois's master bedroom, my mind still going over everything that had happened. I pushed open the bedroom door and froze at the doorway blinking my eyes repeatedly as I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had to rub them to make sure that I wasn't dreaming because what the fuck was happening here.

Maybe it's the strange symbols carved into the window frames, or the peculiar arrangement of the furniture that seems to form patterns on the floor. Or maybe it's the large, leather-bound book displayed on a wooden stand in the center of the desk, open to a page filled with handwritten text and diagrams of the night sky. I approach slowly, as if the book might snap shut on my fingers like a trap. The page shows a chart of celestial bodies, with a date circled in red ink: November 15, 2025. Less than a month from now. Next to the date, in my mother's precise handwriting: "Convergence. Blackwood returns. Find the girl."

[ Celeste ] My feet were cold but my palms were sweaty. The moment had finally come when a new chapter of my life would start. I am going to be the Luna of the Black Shadow Pack. I looked at my reflection in the giant mirror. I was wearing a white dress beaded with real pearls. The thin fabric complimented my pale skin. My scarlet hairs were curled but left open.

Lucien looked at the skeleton almost respectfully. "He reached the First Door before any of us." "And he chose to stay." Evelyn's hands trembled around the notebook. "Nobody chooses this." "You'd be surprised." The chamber suddenly shook again. Not violently. Rhythmically. Like the slow beat of a gigantic heart buried somewhere beneath the floor. Boom. Boom. Boom. The floating stone box rotated slowly in the air. Its carvings began glowing one after another. Nine circles. Nine lines. Nine symbols. Each lighting in perfect sequence.

“What?” She swallowed. “I didn’t come here to be rescued.” The chamber went silent. Kael stared at her. Celeste stepped backward. “Chloe…” Chloe’s eyes filled with tears. “I’m sorry.” I shook my head. “What did you do?” She looked toward the glowing symbols. Then toward my aunt. Then back at me. “I brought you here.” The ground beneath us suddenly cracked. A deep roar came from beneath the mountain. The candles went out. The Gate had awakened.

Marcos walked up to me and stood beside me immediately, his expression turning serious. Celine quickly stepped back as I walked out of the room, her head lowered. “Where's she now?.” “Right now, she’s awake and in her room, Alpha… but she looks very pale and weak. She kept rubbing her belly while cursing under her breath. I don’t think she has the strength to even sit up properly. You have to come see her, Alpha.”

she whispered. Then she walked to the seal. Celeste fell to her knees. “You don’t understand what you’re doing!” Lyra looked down at her. “Neither did you.” And she plunged the flame into the crack. The entire chamber exploded in light. The screams stopped. The shadow retreated. The seal stitched itself together with a final pulse of silver. And then— Silence. Celeste collapsed, unconscious. Lyra fell to her knees, gasping, the mark on her chest now glowing faintly—dim, but alive.

Anywho how you like it like that? How was this chapter? Do comment and tell me how you feel about Celeste and her ongoing stupidity.🤷🤦

Selene asked in a hushed tone, taking in the massacre around her. The husks of once-regal celestials lay sprawled on the cold obsidian floor, golden blood forming small streams down the few stairs to the raised platform of thrones. The dead bodies of the celestials who were unfortunate enough to get attacked by either me or Anubis before eventually being killed by Eva looked more mauled than others, since our wolves too had been driven by vengeance and resentment during the fight. If it was this bad here, I could only imagine how bad it must be outside where the mass battle took place. Judging by the appearance of the two worried celestials and the few who followed them behind, it shouldn't
