KING ELIJAH

I woke up in the middle of the night to find the bed empty, it’s been three days since Elijah and I have been mating and stayed in his room through out knowing if I ever leave his chamber, I would have males on my tail all trying to fight and mate with me.

I got up from the bed and went to the toilet to take a leak before returning to the comfortable bed. I toast and turned, trying to go back to sleep but I couldn’t. Looking at the ceiling, I sighed and turned the lamp on.

I sat on the bed for a while, contemplating if I should go out and search for the King.

I have only two days remaining for my heat to be over, my mating scent wouldn’t be that strong… Right?

Putting on my pajamas, I opened the door and hurriedly walk down the hall.

I walk around, trying to locate him so we would go back to sleep together.

“You have to Make a choice now!” A familiar voice whisper-yelled from the study room I am Elijah teleported from when I was attacked in New York.

I peeped in through the ajar door so see who it was.

Elijah was pacing around the lady who grabbed my arm in the palace a few weeks ago, her bright purple eyes watching him with irritation.

“I-i can’t” The king stammered running his hand in frustration through his hair.

I furrowed my brows in concentration and confusion, trying to understand what was going on. Clearly, it was something serious.

“Your mate only has a few days Elijah, or her soul would leave this world forever!” The witch lamented in annoyance.

“I know that, Evanora!” The king shouted in anger and I jumped back in fright but kept my lips sealed as to not expose my presence to them.

Elijah gazed at the door, his eyes glowing a bright golden color and his hands in a fist. I quickly placed my back on the door, praying that he did not see me.

“She’s the perfect vessel Elijah,” The witch – or should I say Evanora muttered softly to him and I released the breath I was holding when I realized that he did not notice me eavesdropping.

“You can have your mate back Elijah, you can have Samantha back”

What the hell is happening? His mate? Samantha?

I peeped again to see the King rubbing his temple in frustration. Evanora placed her slender fingers on his shoulder from behind.

“You could have her forever, all you have to do is sacrifice Celeste after all, this was your plan to start with.” The witch said.

I gasped in horror as tears fell from my eyes. It felt like I was hit by a thousand bricks at once.

Elijah turned his gaze towards the door and that’s when our eyes met. I stumbled back, almost falling on my butt.

Elijah bust out of the study room with Evanora behind him.

“How could you” I asked with my hands on my chest. My heart felt heavy, I have been betrayed, betrayed by the one I love.

“How could you!” I screamed at him, my voice echoing in the hall.

“Celeste” he whispered my name, walking up to me.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“No!” I screamed, pushing on the king as he stumbled a step or two. My eyes growing puffy as my wiped my tears away.

“Tell me it’s not true Elijah, tell me” I mumbled.

“Tell me!” I screamed, slapping him out of anger and hatred.

“Yes” He replied in a growl, his eyes turning a bright golden color.

My heart stopped for five minutes and I stumbled back, I stared at him with shock written on my face.

I wiped my tears from my check and then ran, I ran out of the palace into the cold night without looking back.

I could hear Elijah and some guards chasing me. I quickly went behind a tree and take off my clothes. I loosely tie my pajamas around my ankle and then shift into my wolf and soon took off.

The wind flowing through my fur feels amazing as I let my wolf take full control. Her desire to burn off all the stress, confusion and betrayal is very high. My paw hits the forest floor, the leaves crunching underneath me

I soon lost the King and his guards, and I shift into my human form as I fell to the ground. I let out a silent howl as my heart bleeds, the pain my wolf and I feels is worst than when our mate rejected us. We Loved him… We loved Elijah and he betrayed us.

I placed my hand on the mark that sat proudly on my neck. I scratched at it wishing his mark would disappear.

Sitting on the ground naked, I covered my face with my hands and cry, cry out my heart.

when I heard twigs snap. I jerked around, searching for the source of the noise.

Nothing.

However, my heightened sense of smell detected a terrible, acrid odor and i quickly wipe my face before putting on my clothes that was still tied to my ankle.

“I know you’re there!” I screamed in the mist covered woods.

I felt a sharp pain on the right side of my neck and i hiss out then place my hand on it and removed a dart.

“Fuck” I cussed as everything became blurry and the world spins around me. I tried running, using the trees to support myself but my legs felt like jelly.

I soon fell to the ground with a thud and the blurry figure of some people gathered around me. My eyes rolled to the back of my head and then everything went black.

****

      ****

****

I was laying on a cold ground, my eyes were opened yet I couldn’t move. The metallic smell of stall blood surrounds me and a puddle of blood was literally right in front of me.

I groaned as I tried to move but it seems like my body would not cooperate with me.

“Shhhh” A voice said from my cell and I heard the shuffle of chains before a hand was laid on my shoulders.

I was turned around to lie on my back. I almost jumped in fright -if I could – at the face of the woman above me. Her eyes were completely white and so was her hair.

“The poison would soon wear off child” The woman said, taking my chained hand into her wrinkled ones. She rubbed between my thumb and my index finger and soon I could move my body.

“Thank you” I rasped out as she helped me sit up. I couldn’t stop looking at the woman, I was curious to know what she is.

She smiled at me when she noticed my gaze on her. “You must be wondering who I am child” the woman mumbled beside me.

“I am Selene, named after the moon goddess herself, the eyes and ears of the goddess.” She muttered, “I am the seer” She added with a chuckle.

“I thought there were no more seers in the world” I mumbled and she chuckled.

“Seers are born every hundred years child. I know my time is about to come” She whispered then coughed.

She took my hand in hers and I looked at her confused, her white eyes staring deep into mine.

“The moon has blessed you Celeste,” She whispered then placed her right hand on my stomach. “You have been gifted with a child, a great king” She added.

I stared at her in shock as she smiled at me and removed her hand from my tummy. Two men stood outside our cell door as they opened it. They came in and dragged the seer out but all I could do was stare.

I placed my hand on my stomach as I cried in happiness. I am carrying Elijah’s child.
