Everything seems to be out of my control. I was captured by a power-hungry man and his boy-crazy sister who thinks I'm the Alpha's mate. Things couldn't possibly be worse.
Meanwhile, back home the men were packed at Alpha Christian's house, things were intense right now. People were taken from their homes and no one could answer how that was possible.The elders were furious. They needed answers and solutions, and most people were out for blood. “How could you allow this to happen?!” Marlow asked. “They took my daughter right from the doorstep of my home. How could that have happened? You're supposed to keep us safe!”Christian was deep in thought while everyone else was going berserk in the room.He couldn't understand how anybody could make it across the border without the alarm going off. They had men there for these things.Which made him think something was up! Who could've tipped those guys off and why?No one came to mind at all which caused him more discomfort. Someone had especially targeted his mate at the same time he found her.It was no coincidence! They knew exactly when he would be distracted and used it to their advantage. Someone close to him had done this.A couple of people came to mind when he thought about who could've done it. Damon was his Beta so he was the closest to him, could he have done it?Would Dino do that to me? He was the Omega of the pack so it was more likely he had done it. But he wasn't even with him the day it happened.“Alpha Christian, why aren't you saying anything?” Asked an elder who had also been quiet while others had been talking.He sighed heavily and as he rose to speak the room fell silent.“It is very likely that someone in this pack helped the outsiders to come and take people. I don't know why and I sure don't know how but I promise you I will get to the bottom of this.” He said in a final tone.But the elders weren't having it. “ You can't just say that and expect us to believe your word with all the rumors going around,” they said.“What rumors?” He asked quizzically.Two elders who had been shouting back and forth since they came quietly looked at one another, nodded, and looked at him.“We have reason to believe that you have been secretly plotting this coup for a while now,” said one of the elders.“And that tonight was the day you executed it!” said the other.On his face, he showed no emotion but internally he was shocked. He expected this though and didn't react to what they were saying.Whoever did this made sure to poison the minds of everyone around him. This also made him realize that the person who had orchestrated the whole thing wanted his position.“You believe that I would do that to my own pack?!” Said Alpha Christian.“We don't know what you can do but it's very obvious what you can't. And that is to keep us safe!” Said the elder who started the whole conversation.Alpha Christian was outraged with the situation presented to him at the moment. What could've made his own people turn their backs on him in this critical moment?Fear? Resentment? Hatred?The people he thought he did everything for had started showing disloyalty. Did they get paid to betray him? The possibilities were endless but one thing was for sure. They were eyes on him everywhere and he couldn't do anything about finding his mate and his people right now.“You have to find my daughter, she is not safe wherever she is. You don't know what might happen; she has never been outside our borders on her own!” Marlow said to him, gripping the table tightly.He cocked his head to the side and tried to read meaning into what he meant but came up to.He mentally made a reminder to find out what he meant by that.“I'm going to get to the bottom of this mess in no time,” He said in a final tone. He wasn't going to argue with anybody and he knew how things like this go.They were going to cast a vote to decide if they would pass a final judgment on him. One would be left wondering how it all went sideways.“All in favor of passing the final judgment on Alpha Christian Xavier right now, indicate with the raise of your hand!” Slowly some elders of the pack put their hands up one by one to cast their votes against him.As he counted down the hands of those against him, he slowly realized that if he was going to do anything, it was better that he wasn't around to get them done.So he silently waited for them to pass their final judgment on him. He counted 11 hands raised against him. There wasn't a reason to ask who was in favor of not passing the judgment and he preferred it that way.Damon who had been silently watching from the corner decided now was the right time to add his two cents said, “Please, we should calm down to think about this before jumping to conclusions”It was too late for that.“Whatever you do, make sure you find my daughter and bring her home”, Marlow said solemnly.“Alpha Christian Xavier, you have plotted against your people to destroy the harmony we've built over the years. You have been careless with our peace and most especially our safety. And for that I hereby banished you and everybody who chooses to follow you. You're never to return unless you undo what has been done!”He was now a Rogue wolf!I didn't know what had happened back at home. I didn't know anything because since the last time Fiona came here I haven't had any visitors here. I was getting fed up and it was all because they thought I was Alpha Christian's mate. It's ridiculous that they would even think that. And what about what they said about being the child of the comet. Was that nonsense too? Right now I wished my dad was here to help me. I had no idea what to do. I heard clanging outside my door and then it swung open with a force. Inside came two fierce looking men and one girl in the middle who held a tray full of something in her hand. I tried to stand so I could talk to her but the men just looked at me like they would gut me if I tried anything. She dropped the tray not so far from me then proceeded to unchain my hands from the walls. She then chained them together in a tight but long chain so I could use my hands but not try to escape. “Thank you…” I said I was grateful, and went ahead to check
I didn't think about my plan 100% because, come on now, I didn't have a lot of options. I had to do something.I got ready for whatever was going to meet me when the doors opened.Riley needed me, hell my dad needed me right and nothing was going to stop me from getting out of this damn cellar.I heard about three or four pairs of footsteps bearded towards the door.Whatever stunt I was about to pull, I prayed it was going to be worth getting hurt like hell for.As the door was unlocked from outside, I hunched my back down and prayed to the goddess for strength.As they piled inside the states looking around the room and didn't find anything or anyone that would cause the amount of noise they had heard.They zeroed on me, one guard in particular started coming closer to me with the purpose of checking on the prisoner.He stood and slightly poked me with the butt of his gun, “hey…wake up” he said when he was at my head now.I quickly looked up and wrapped one hand around his gun and hi
Beep…beep…beep….That continuous beeping sound is driving me crazy. Can someone turn it off?I was slowly waking up and I felt so groggy. Wow, these sheets are so soft.I used my hand to feel the table and shut the alarm that was blaring.I tried opening my eyes and they were taking so long. My lids were very heavy and they hurt.When I finally managed to pry them open, the stream of light from the open window entered right into them and caused me discomfort.I hissed and used my hand to try to block out the sun from blinding me.I looked around the room slowly and realized, I don't know where I am but it sure looks very fancy.What happened when I ran into that smoke? Who came for me?Just then, someone opened the door and entered the room. It took me a second to react but when I did, my eyes widened.“You… Alpha Christian'' I said in surprise. I wasn't expecting that at all.“Celeste. How are you feeling?”, he said it politely.This was the man I had respected but feared from afar.
“What?!”, said Alpha Christian in astonishment. I've come to understand that people tend to do whatever he wants.The fact that I had blatantly disobeyed his orders and came downstairs with what I was saying, the surprise was clearly painted on his face.He came close to me and gave me a pointed look. If I could read his mind, I would love to know what he was thinking right now.“What exactly do you mean, you want to fight?” He said in a low tone, still looking at me like I had lost my marbles.“It's not exactly Chinese I'm speaking. I want to train, with you” I said pleading.“You are in no shape, you were tortured for days. Goddess! You're supposed to be in bed resting. What about that don't you understand?” He said, exasperated.I huffed and took a look around. If he wasn't going to train me, then someone else would have to.He noticed what I was doing and before I could say anything, I was being hauled like a ragdoll and the next thing I knew I was staring at a broad back.“Hey! L
I wasn't expecting that question from him. For as long as I could remember, nobody even asked me that question anymore.It's pretty much general knowledge that I don't know my mother. I've never even seen a picture of her till this very day.I mean I didn't really expect him to know this, being the Alpha and all. He had bigger and more important things to do.But why was it bugging me that he didn't know either?It wasn't his fault I grew up motherless. I had a father who was loving and present enough to overlook the fact that she wasn't there.Though it still hurts that I didn't get to meet her. Didn't know if she was dead, or if she ran away. What if she abandoned me for a better life.I don't like indulging this part of my life a lot because it was very disturbing. And sad.So taking a deep breath and brassing myself I turned to him. “I don't know my mother” I say to him, watching him carefully for his reaction.He huffed and walked back into the room, looking rather annoyed.“Ther
“Uhh Celeste?” Alpha Christian has been trying to talk to me for the past five minutes but I'm in a state of shock. But if he found me, isn't he supposed to tell me? There wasn't any way for me to know yet so it was up to him to let me know. It's probably because of the whole kidnapping thing that made the whole situation strained but still. It felt kind of surreal that he found me and didn't let me know. He shook me one more time before I finally snapped out of the trance-like state I was in. “I….this is a surprise honestly” I say to him solemnly. By the look on his face somehow he understood what I was trying to say. “It's a lot for anyone to take. I think when this is all over and you're safe and settled then you can deal with all this” he said to me softly. I nodded my head and sighed as the mood in the room had completely changed. I felt myself getting sadder and sadder by the day. My life had really turned into a sob story. It was rare for you to have a mate and not meet
It was very late at night, so hearing someone knocking on the door was enough to put Alpha Christian in protective mode.Who could be knocking on our door by this time of the night? And why didn't anyone inform him that someone was coming towards the door?We were quiet for a minute with only the sound of us breathing and the girl outside the door crying.I looked outside to see that none of the guards that were patrolling earlier were there right now.Confusion written all over Christian's face as he tried to make sense of everything.I walked slowly towards the window to check if anybody else was outside. I couldn't see anything but I could sense the change of energy.Things were tense as we moved towards the door at the same time but he signaled me to stay hidden.I did as I was told as he went to open the door. As he opened the door the girl behind it started to come into view.She slowly walked inside limping and saying ‘thank you, omg thank you’ over and over again.I watched fr
As light started to peek through the blinds, I slowly gained consciousness and my head throbbed to the beat of my heart.I was so confused about what was currently happening but I had the faintest idea.At this point I was getting used to passing out and waking up at different places. That doesn't necessarily mean I wanted it to happen again though.It all started to come back to me as I tried to sit up and gauge my environment. I was in the room I currently occupy in the house. That could only mean that Alpha Christian brought me here himself. So where was he? Where was the girl from last night?I needed answers about what happened and I wasn't going to get them sitting on this bed.Still dressed in yesterday's clothes, not even bothered to change or shower I left the room and started down the hall.If he was confident enough to leave me in that room then that meant it was safe enough to still stay here.There's still this feeling like we were out of the loop for some reason and I w
