Calle is gone
Celine’s POV :
I wanted to slap him again but the queen stopped me as she glared angrily at him. But as a shameless monster he was, Calle didn’t hide his excitement. The elders of the pack stood in unison and one of them cleared his throat.
“That can be decided later but we don’t think a war is what we need. First of all, we need to clear some misunderstanding to the pack so please corporate with us. ” He said.
“Yes, I want the best for everyone. ” I answered.
The elder stood in the centre of the pack members as they all surrounded him curiously. They had been whispering to each other trying to make sense of everything because it was two difficult for them to understand that I was the daughter of their late queen.
“As we all know now, Luna Celine, the mate of Alpha Tyrion, is the princess of the pack. I want to go back in the past and start from where all this is related. She was lost when she was a child after she was born in the woods because the King and Queen threw her mother out to have relationship with another male who was not a wolf. I feel so helpless and ashamed to say that a special and powerful women like her mother never got the respect which she deserved because she decided to love who she wanted to. ”
The elder looked at me and I gave him a nod to continue, ” I am sure my mother was or is very special and she deserves all the peace and love of this world. ”
“Lycan Calle then marked Queen Emerald because the royal members mysteriously vanished including the only brother who was supposed to take over the Throne. Since then, the king and the queen have been searching for her because according to the Prophecy only she can bring the power which the kingdom of the Zephyr held over others. The fate played even a worse role when they couldn’t have any child of their own which made the annual challenge to the Throne to occur again after 100 years. ” He stopped and asked me to join him, ” But today, we found our princess and the rightful heiress… ”
The pack erupted into cheers and the members jumped with excitement. I could feel my legs shaking because of the nervousness I was feeling just by looking at the crowd.
“But there’s a problem now… ” The elder said seriously, ” As you all have heard, the Lycan Calle wants Celine as his mate. But she already has a mate and wasn’t her mother supposed to be Calle’s mate too. Isn’t it too absurd? ”
I couldn’t control the smile which was about to turn into a loud chuckle joined by pack members. Even the elder found this creepy and morally wrong. I looked at Alpha Tyrion and he hinted to me to say the truth now.
“Lycan Calle tried to kill the Queen in the fire. He trapped me in the abandoned chambers and tried to force himself on me. He had been threatening and trying to hurt me since the day i stepped my foot inside the kingdom. ” The pack members watched in shock and i knew I had to continue, ” I believe he was the one who killed my mother. He made my uncle to live hiding in the woods. He made my aunt to have no voice of her own. She lives in constant fear… ”
Alpha Tyrion held my arm and gave me comfort by holding me in his tight embrace. My hands were shaking as the anger slowly began to fade and the reality hit me on my nerves.
Calle was offended to say the least, he let out a blood curling growl and his fangs visible and ready to kill me.
“Everything is a lie! I didn’t kill your mother! I wanted her for her powers. We never had a relationship. It’s not a new thing to have a mate who might be related to some women of your past. Heck, every Alpha sleeps with the women of his pack. But your mother and I never touched each other. I didn’t push your uncle out of the pack! ”
He was literally on my face, screaming and the traces of saliva slipping off his tongue to my face. I was ready to fight him and so was Alpha Tyrion.
“And about your aunt, Emerald. I didn’t want to mark… ”
The Queen pierced the silver in his blood and he lost his balance. His movements seized and the yellow in his iris faded away.
“Calle, you have feel torturing me and my people for years now and I don’t want that to happen again. I want you to get out of my pack and never come back. ” Aunt Emerald growled angrily at him.
Alpha Tyrion intervened, ” No, we shouldn’t let him go because people like him try to come back all the time. ”
“He will never come back because if he does his half sister Maya would be gone. He loves her more than anyone else. Don’t you, Calle? ” She asked, grabbing his chin.
“Don’t hurt her… ” He said in pain.
Half sister? I looked at Maya who was watching Calle with tears as the soldiers took her away.
“But Aunt, we should not take a risk. ”
She smiled at me, pain reflecting on her features, ” I want the elders to allow me so that I can cast the restraining spell on him and throw him in the dungeon in the woods. ”
That sounded better than to just letting him go. But I could see my aunt’s eyes holding the tears when she put the cast and Calle groaned in pain. The guards put him in chains and he was taken outside the pack.
When everything seemed to calm down, I touched my aunt’s hand and she gave it a squeeze.
“Shall we crown Princess Celine tomorrow? ” The elders asked.
I was nervous and wanted to find about my mother and uncle first.
“Please give me 10 days. I want to find about something. And in the meantime, Queen Emerald is taking care of the pack. ”
The elders seemed to not like my decision but they didn’t have any choice and had to agree. But Aunt wasn’t happy either.
“Alpha Tyrion, we need to discuss about the arrangements. ” The elders said to him.
He gave me a kiss and walked with them. My aunt held my hand and took me to her chamber.
“Why did you postpone it to 10 days? You know everyone wants you to take the throne immediately. ” She said.
“Mom and uncle… ”
She sighed, ” Celine, don’t get into that. It’s past now. If my brother wants to come here, he will since you will be joining the pack. You have a mate, a pack, the powers and start a family. Don’t waste your youth like that. Finding love is difficult and you shouldn’t ignore him. ”
I could see the same sadness in her eyes, ” Do you feel sad about Calle? ”
She was shocked and looked the other way, ” Why would I? He conspired against my family and ruined our lives. ”
“But he was your chosen mate. I know bonds work harshly. ”
She sat down on the edge of the bed, not looking at me. Her shoulders slumped down.
“When I was young, all I wanted was a love story. A mate who will love me to death. We would have had so many pups. We would always be together. Laughing, enjoying and running our pack. But I got Calle… I tried to change him for 12 years. He didn’t want to do anything with me. I thought there has to be a reason as to why he killed my family. Maybe he was wronged by my father or anyone. But he was just pure evil. I hate myself now. ”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
I hugged her and she cried into my neck, ” You were young and had dreams. But you threw him out today, aunt. You have matured now. ”
“All because of you, Celine. You are my daughter who I never had… “
