Stranger mind link
Celine’s POV :
It took my brain a few seconds to register the statement and then the reality hit me. The crowd had gathered around the well and I could hear Ava’s sounds of crying for help.
Before I could go and save her, I saw Alpha Jonathan himself standing at the boundary of the well and he jumped in to help her out.
“Dad… ” She said, in a half conscious state.
“Why did you think I will just let you die? You could have once talk to me. Even after all the mistakes you did, I have always forgiven you. Haven’t I? ”
“I didn’t know how I could survive without your support. I felt like being lost in the darkness. ” She cried again.
Alpha Jonathan hugged her more, ” Let’s go to the pack. I will take care of you. I don’t want to lose my daughter because of silly people and their stupid lives. ”
As I stood there, my gaze fixed upon the retreating figures of Ava and her father, Alpha Jonathan, a wave of anger passed through me. They were the sole reason for everyone’s misery, making our lives tough. Yet, when their mask was off they had the guts to embrace each other like they were the wronged done people in here. The poor victims of vile world.
But before taking his sweet daughter with him, Alpha Jonathan turned to me with a face showing only hatred and disgust.
Alpha Jonathan’s voice echoed in my mind, his words giving a kind of warning,” Your disrespect will never be forgotten,” he vowed, his tone filled with a mix of fury and disappointment.
“I will be waiting for you if you ever decide to discuss the matters with me. ” I said, confidently.
As they disappeared from sight, I couldn’t help but feel lost and empty. Even after committing so many mistakes, Ava had a father who trusted in her. A father who came back to take his daughter back to give her the life of princess. The one in which she was born with a golden spoon.
‘ I think you should not feel bad because having such of other in your life would have done worse than doing any good. ‘ Belinay said, cutting off my thoughts of feeling down.
‘Well, I am just happy as who I am. But it would be great to have loving parents by my side. ‘
Lost in my thoughts, I retreated to the solace of our chamber, where Alpha Tyrion awaited me. His presence brought comfort, he was like a ointment on my burns. As I entered, he turned to face me, his mouth set into a slight smile.
“Celine,” he began, his voice gentle yet firm, “the pack elders have arranged for our crown ceremony tomorrow.”
His words hung in the air, and I felt my stomach drop with the unexpected news. He held my arms and made me sit on his lap. Playing with my hair, he placed a kiss on my cheek.
“we cannon leave the throne empty for long. You know there are so many rivals who are just waiting for the right moment to strike again. Including, Calle. ”
Calle… I somehow remembered about the dungeon not being in the recorded maps of the kingdom and I had to check up on it.
“The elders said-”
“Celine? ” Aunt entered the room and I immediately got up from Alpha Tyrion’s lap.
“Yes, Aunt. ”
She bit her lip laughing at us, ” Ah, seems like I disturbed a precious moment but I had something important to discuss. As the elders must have informed you about the crowning ceremony tomorrow, I just want to arrange stuff for you all. ”
She was in such a hurry that I couldn’t even talk to her about Calle’s dungeon location in the woods. And I didn’t find it important enough to make her excitement dwindle because of that man’s name. She had already suffered a lot and I didn’t want to keep reminding her that he was still alive and waiting for the right moment to strike again.
“I think I don’t have a choice now… ” I said half heartedly.
I had still wanted to try to find my uncle so that I could have some members of my family with me in addition to my aunt and my husband. But it seemed life the Pack members couldn’t wait and neither the elders were ready to leave the Throne unoccupied for so long.
“Yes, you don’t have any choice because you are the princess and the royal blood has to serve its purpose. So, instead of feeling so low you should get excited that you are finally getting what you have always deserved. ” Aunt added.
Alpha Tyrion chuckled, ” I think her fake father has told her not to accept any position without his presence. So, to make her happy we have invited him too. ”
I gasped and gave him a light punch. He was being sarcastic but I could feel the hidden meaning behind his words and that was true. Somehow, Gabriel had made me feel so insecure about myself that even now when I knew that I was the real heir of this pack I still couldn’t believe that I deserve to get the Crown.
“No, we don’t need anyone who has hurt her in the past and I know she is just a nervous about this new journey but she will do just find because Warriors are not made they are born. ”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Alpha Tyrion held her hand and promised, ” I will make sure that she never gets hurt again. Also, I have to ask about the guests invitation list and the Alpha names to be invited. I am planning to renew the mate bond with her. ”
“Well, that’s amazing. Both you were destined to each other from the start. ”
He was a bit hesitant, ” Actually, we are not fated mates. But I love her more than anyone in this whole world. ”
“Then, I really hope that your mates don’t show up suddenly and break this beautiful bond. ”
There was a warning in her tone and neither me nor Alpha Tyrion liked that. But what stung more was the fact that he still couldn’t feel the mate bond.
“I think we should wait to renew the mate bond. I don’t feel ready to do that. ” I said.
He was clearly hurt and shocked but there was no way I would keep forcing this bond down his throat if he couldn’t feel a thing yet.
“I will be back by 9. ” He said, kissing me.
After both of them left, I said down in front of the mirror and decided to get ready for the night as I Undid my bun. The hair touched my waist now and I made a point in the back of my head that I needed a hairstyle really bad.
“Celine…. ”
I was shocked to hear a strange voice in my head and when I look around I could not see anyone. I tried to catch the scent of the intruder but there was no one.
‘Must be my misunderstanding. ‘I said to myself.
“Come to me, Celine. I will take care of you forever.”
This time I dropped the comb and stood up. It was too clear to be just a hallucination in my head. Someone was trying to mind link with me. And talking about coming together in future. This was not supposed to be happening. No one could mind link with me without a connection. What kind of connection did I share with it?
“Who are you? ” I shouted.
But there was no response. Just plain silence and the occasional sounds of birds outside the room.
“Calle? ” I tried again. But the voice was gone and I was left with worries of the voice coming back again.
