Chapter 65


    Chapter 65 – Celeste


    Celeste P.O.V.


    I groaned. My feet hurt, it felt like someone had taken sandpaper and rubbed them raw. I felt weak and


    my whole body felt like I was


    on fire. I tried to stand up but my hands were tied together with silver cuffs. My shoes were missing and


    the back of my feet did indeed


    look like they had been rubbed raw. I tried to stand up but was so nauseated that I fell back down and


    threw up.


    “Oh, the b***h is finally awake. It was only a little wolfsbane. I had to drag you all the way out here


    myself,” I heard a voice say from


    behind me. I turned to see Sandra waving a gun around. I frowned, a gun would hurt me, but it was


    nothing I couldn’t survive. As if


    reading my mind, she said, “I wouldn’t think about running, the gun is full of silver bullets.” She pointed


    the gun at me.


    I tried to mind link but the silver cuffs were preventing me from doing it. The wolfsbane was preventing


    me from talking to Kara, but


    I could feel her whimpering while she tried to heal….my stomach? I looked down. I couldn’t see any


    wound there.


    “My mate is going to tear you to pieces if he finds out what you’re doing Sandra,” I said, trying to


    reason with her. I could hear


    howling from a distance. I couldn’t tell how much time had passed since she jumped me in the


    bathroom, but I knew they were already


    looking for me.


    “Your mate? YOUR MATE? He should have been MY MATE!” She growled at me, “Why do you get an

    Alpha mate? I’m the Alpha female. You’re just a f*****g ve. The goddess made a mistake. She must


    have. Alpha Markus was supposed to be mine,” She growled as she


    waved the gun at me.


    “You might still find your mate. Maybe he just wasn’t able to attend your party?” I was trying to buy


    some time. She looked pretty deranged. I looked at my surroundings and I could tell we weren’t even


    off the Pack grounds. She really didn’t think it through but maybe


    that was a good thing for me.


    She growled and shot at the ground in front of me, “I found my mate. He was a lowly f*****g servant


    from another pack. I killed him


    the moment I knew. I am of Alpha blood, I do not have amon mate,” she looked behind me and I


    saw the body of a young man a couple hundred yards away looking up at the moon, arge pool of


    blood stained his chest. She killed her own mate? How could


    someone be so greedy that they would kill half of their soul because they wanted an Alpha?


    “No, I will not have amon mate. I will kill you. Then when Markus finds your body, I’ll tell him I got


    here toote and I killed the


    man that murdered his mate. While he grieves, I will make sure that he takes me as his chosen mate.


    The way it should have been from


    the start. I tried to do it before the ceremony, hoping it would be me instead of you, but you were never


    alone in the mall. That stupid


    giant warrior was always with you. No matter, we can have another one. A better one,” she said, and I


    realized she was just


    demented.


    “Markus will never take you as his mate” I said calmly.


    “Yes he will!” She said as she hit me with the gun across the face. I felt the stinging of her hit and I


    tasted blood in my mouth. I


    growled and charged into her. Wolf present or not, I was no longer the same omega she had picked on


    and beat for 12 years. I struggled as I rolled off her. These damn cuffs were making things hard. I used


    my burning feet to kick the gun out of her hand. Thank god for the


    slit in the dress. She grabbed my foot and I screamed in pain as her ws dug into my legs as I fell


    forward. She tried to scratch my face


    and I put my feet under her and pushed her off. She shrieked and picked up a branch off the ground


    and charged, but I moved out of her


    way as she swung and fell forward.


    I could hear the growls growing near and I screamed “I’M OVER HERE” towards the forest. I didn’t


    realize how much that distraction cost me until I turned back in time to hear the gun go off. It was like it


    happened in slow motion. I saw the bullet leave the gun and I released a stream of fire toward Sandra.


    Before the bullet could hit, I felt something barrel into me. Inded on the floor with a thud and I heard a


    whinee out of the dark brindle wolf thatnded next to me. I heard a loud scream from the


    distance. Sandra was shrieking in front of me, her body on fire. I heard more wolves approaching but


    all I could see was Dash receding from the silver and leaving Danny’s face as he transformed in pain.


    He was breathing shallow. I pushed him to his back and saw the bullet wound on his side, very close to


    his


    lungs. I didn’t know how to get the silver out of him. I didn’t know how to help him. I just put my hand


    over his wound and cried.


    “Celeste, it’s OK,” he wheezed out with a cough.


    “No, you fight. Maya needs you. We need you. You f*****g fight,” I said using my Lunamand as he


    started losing consciousness. I felt Kara through the silver cuffs push forward, flowing strength through


    me and I broke the silver cuffs off my hands. As soon as I did, I felt


    Kara push forward.


    “GET THE PACK DOCTOR HERE NOW,’ she screamed through the mind link.


    Kara, we have to heal him. – I told her.


    I don’t know if we can Celeste. Only Selene decides who we can heal..


    she whimpered.


    We have to. We can’t take him from Maya. –


    sobbed.


    Ok. You start praying to the moon goddess. Maybe she will let us. This is going to take a lot. We need


    our mate. –


    She said.


    ‘Markus! I need you. Help me help Danny,’ said through the mind link. “I’m right here baby. What do


    you need. Tell me?” He said behind me. I turned and briefly saw a bunch of our warriors holding a


    half-burned and soaking wet Sandra, dragging her out of the river.


    “I need to heal him, but Kara said it’s going to take a lot of energy, just help us. Hold us. We have to get


    the silver out,” I turned back


    to Danny, who was unconscious now. His heart barely beating. I put my hands over his wound and


    started praying. Please Selene, don’t take him from Maya. Please don’t let him die protecting me.


    Trepeated over and over. I ignored the cry of anguishing from Maya as she arrived and saw her


    mate. I ignored Markus barking for Gillian to restrain her and Maya growling to get to Danny.I even


    ignored as


    Markus told everyone to leave, as I felt my hands begin to glow.


    I sobbed a thanks to Selene and felt Kara and I pouring everything we could into Danny. I opened my


    eyes as I felt my body lift. Danny


    and I were both floating about a foot off the floor, Markus’s hands on top of ours as he also began to


    glow and I realized we were pulling


    from his strength. I saw as Danny groaned as the bullet slid out of his wound and fell to the floor. There


    was a small drip of silvering


    out of his wound as we pulled all the poison out of his system. The stream hissed as it burned his flesh


    on the way out. I could almost see


    in my mind how his body was slowly healing. I heard him cough and groan and then I heard As in my


    head.


    ‘That’s enough, Tuli. He will live. We’ve healed him. He can finish healing on his own. It will hurt the


    pup,


    he said as he removed our


    hands from Danny. We all dropped to the floor with small thuds and I saw Maya fall next to Danny as


    he struggled to sit up, his wound still


    bleeding. I sent up a silent prayer of thanks to Selene before I felt myself faint.
