Chihiro X Celeste Novels & Stories

She’s fast, Zeus growled with admiration. Celeste darted through the trees, weaving between trunks before suddenly stopping and crouching low—a rabbit. Zeus caught the scent immediately. Celeste lunged first, lightning fast. The rabbit barely had time to react before she snatched it up. She tossed Zeus a proud look before dropping it. Zeus huffed. Show off. Celeste’s wolfish laugh echoed through the mindlink. You’re just slow.

The roar of collapsing stone drowned nearly everything—everything but Tori's scream. I turned just in time to see her standing in the center of the chaos, her hair fanned like white fire, eyes blazing molten gold. Celeste stood opposite her, half-shadow, half flame, her body flickering in and out of the void as if she was both there and not there at all. The air around them split with pressure, like the world itself was caught between their wills.

“My lord,” Sydney offered her greetings to Hunter when he entered the villa, “I have gathered all the men you asked me last time,” Sydney said, still bowing. “Arise,” Hunter’s menacing and emotionless voice sent a shiver to Sydney, “I want to ask you things I’m bothered with,” “Anything you want to know, my lord,” “About Celeste,” Sydney almost chocked upon hearing her name, “She started to undergo the shift when she got back from the Village and had an unsuccessful transition of body,” Sydney heard Hunter grit his teeth from annoyance, “I already deal with the witch who tried to steal her body,”

She gasped softly, a hand flying to her mouth. Yes, she replied instinctively—through the link. Jamin’s heart skipped. There was no denying it. She wasn’t guessing or reading lips. She responded directly, mentally, as if the link were hers too. Leira let out a shaky exhale, stepping beside Jamin. “You see? It’s real.” Celeste lowered her hand, her voice trembling. “How is that possible? I’m not part of your pack.” “That’s what we thought,” Jamin said softly. “Until now.”

Mine. “Mate.” I said, with a voice of longing. Willow’s hair started floating like an unseen force was causing it to rise. Hot air was flowing from her, and I felt like the final piece to my puzzle was about to be placed. Following her instinct, Willow held her palms up to meet mine, her entire body ignited like a torch. Blood red flames mixed with no other colors as it surrounded her. Her fire burned like mine. It was as if heaven and hell opened up and poured power down onto us. Our flames intertwine around each other like a cyclone. Blue and red were blending, turning so hard and fast that everyone around us was nothing but a blur.

Celeste was never one to simply accept defeat. The moment she learned of Yvette’s capture and failure, her mind began working, gears turning behind her cold eyes. She had always been the architect of her own future, calculating every move with precision. Yvette’s reckless obsession with Diluc had been a weak point she had tolerated for too long. Now that Yvette was in custody, Celeste had no more use for her. But Furina, Diluc, and their sudden defiance—*that* was something she couldn’t let stand.

I sit back in the chair, stretching my legs out in front of me, trying to act as if the sight in front of me isn’t setting my body on fire. Celeste stands under the water, her back to me, the droplets sliding down her skin in glistening trails. My jaw clenches. My fingers twitch. Every instinct in me is screaming—take her, feel her, make her yours. But I don't move. Not because I don’t want to. Because I want something more.

I freeze. Celeste. I smiled as she pushed herself out of the man's arms and ran up to me. She threw her arms around me. I unfroze as her scent of vanilla and berries invaded my nose. I wrapped my arms around her, gently because I was afraid I was going to break her. "Xavier," she whispered. "Celeste. I've missed you so much little one." I tightened my arms around her and she winced. I pulled her back from me but she just pulled me back to her. I looked around as all of the wolves started to growl. They were growling at the rogue.

Celeste “I didn’t do it.” I kept chanting those words like a mantra. The goddess knew I was innocent. Earlier on, everything happened so fast that I couldn’t react in time. I… I couldn’t even do anything about… that thing. “Mmmmm!” I tried to speak, but he wasn’t having it. Alpha Horres was already convinced that I ripped his warrior’s heart out of his chest. He was so certain that no one stopped to wonder how a wolfless trash like Celeste Holmes could do that. No matter what happened, I was always the guilty party.

That night of the confrontation with Lucifer’s people took a lot out of my new guardians. Which, in turn, took a lot out of the guys and me. Rameses and Nefertari fell asleep first. We learned that Celestria came from the East on an island surrounded by water. Her island was called Japan. Like Adrian, she dreamt of me and followed the pull and made her way to me. She told us along the way she, unfortunately, ran into what she called the dark ones. She was able to fight them off with her scream. Which was impressive, the fallen were formidable. Celestia was the next one to fall asleep, her head resting on my shoulder, her breathing soft. Still laying against Micheals' chest, he played with th
