KING ELIJAH

As I made my way down the hall to my room I could tell that my eyes were bloodshot so I tried to Make sure no one saw the state I was in. When I got to my-Elijahs Wing which is the North wing- I released a sigh when I hand was on the big brown door.

“Celeste,” I heard Elijah’s voice and I turned around to look at him. He was putting on a gray suit with a white inner shirt and his hair was combed to sleek. His shoe was as black at night reflecting his suit as he walks and on his left hand was his golden crown and royal robe that dragged on the ground and he seems to go not care one bit.

“I was looking for you,” He continued, stopping in front of me with a smile while I gave him one too but his smile flattered when he saw my tear stained cheek and bloodshot eyes.

“What happened?” He asked and I shook my head but he was not having it. I sighed and shift on my feet before looking at his gray eyes.

“I got in a fight with my mom” I mumbled with a frown on my lips.

“…About me?” He asked and I opt if I should tell him the truth or not.

“Yes.. She wants me to come back to Crestfall with her” I murmured and his eyes harden for a second before going back to a worried look.

“But you won’t leave me right?” He asked cupping my cheeks while I shook my head.

“Never”

He released a sigh and nodded in approval before smiling at me. “Come now, we have a meeting to attend”

“Oh right!” I mumbled totally forgetting about the meeting.

As I tried walking past Elijah, his free hand came around my waist, stopping me while giving me a puzzled look.

“Where are you going?” He asked amused.

“The meeting…” I trailed off not sure what he was talking about.

He breathe a chuckle, shaking his head amusedly with a smirk on his lips.

“You have to Change” he mumbled, his eyes racking my outfit.

I am putting on a black jean trouser paired with a white convas and a white long sleeve shirt.

“What’s wrong with my outfit?” I asked crossing my hands around my chest and pouting. Elijah gave me ‘the look’ and chuckled before rolling my eyes.

“Okay, okay I get it but I don’t have anything presentable to wear” I mumbled with a frown.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Elijah looked genuinely confused, tilting his head to the right a little probably thinking of something.

“I already ordered you new clothes when you started staying in the palace” He murmurs frowning a little.

I shrugged then sighed walking back towards Elijah’s Chambers and pushing the door open. He silently walks in with me, sitting at the edge of the bed and watching me. I paid no mind to him as I entered the closet and pulled out a comfortable looking gown. I took off my clothes, then I slipped into the scarlet red silk gown and a Matching red heel.

The gown was long and beautiful, nothing fancy.

I walked out of the closet and Elijah’s eyes snapped from the ring he was twirling on his finger to my face before roaming down my body then back to my face.

He got up, his robe and crown still in hand as he stopped in front of me.

“Beautiful” He whispered, his hot breath fanning my forehead. His free hand came beside my head and pushed a hair behind my ear. My lips parted and I almost chocked on air, not knowing what to say when I saw his eyes shinning with amazement and love.

He placed his golden crown on his head and put on his robe before stretching his hand towards me “Now come let’s go. The alphas are already waiting” He murmured.

I smiled and nodded, hooking my left arm around his. Together, we walked out of our room and down the hall as the guards bowed in respect when they saw us walk.

As we got closer to the meeting room, I could hear the voices of Male muffled chattering from the other side of the door. The door was pushed open and I raised my head high when all heads turn towards us.

They all got up and bowed when I and Elijah walked pass them to our seats. When we sat, so did they and o scanned the room, looking at the Alphas faces.

Some were angry and some confused as to why I was in the room with them but they dare not question. My eyes landed on my brother who was also seated with the Alphas. He nodded in acknowledgment while I frowned. What the fuck is he doing here.

“Your majesty,” someone stated and all heads turned towards the right. “I request you hand over the rogue king to me” He said puffing out his chest.

“And why should I do that?” The king asked.

The man with blonde hair and green eyes continued “I have one of the strongest warriors and my cells are well guarded” He boost.

“And so do I!” Another male said slamming his fist on the table.

Every Alpha in this room wants the rogue king because it would make their pack more recognized. I mean who doesn’t want to boost that they have the most wanted man chained in their pack cell?

I turned my head to look at Elijah and I saw him watching the Alpha’s with amusement.

“Silence!” He finally said and the room became silent. Everyone turned to look at him, waiting for him to choose.

His head turned towards me and my eyes widen. Fuck no..

“What do you think Lady Celeste?” He asked and when I turned to look at the Alphas they were all Practically begging me with their eyes to choose them.

I took in a deep breath and placed my hand on the table, join my fingers together in form of a web.

“I believe it would be better if The rogue king said here in the palace cell,” I started and the room filled up with murmuring while some glared at me.

“And why if I ask?” Eros black asked from his side of the table and Everyone became silent again.

“Well, the palace is heavily guard and has the best warriors..” I said glancing at the Alpha with blonde hair and green eyes for a second. “Also, we have witches on our side. They can help us build a separate cell just for him. One laced with magic that only one person Can get in.” I finished in one breath.

“What about the witch… Mlika that worked with him? She escaped didn’t she? What if she comes back to free jim” And older man with salt and pepper hair asked and I nodded along with everyone.

Elijah had already filled me in on everything before we got to the meeting room. From Derricks capture to The witches’ disappearance.

“Yes, that is why I said we build a separate cell and chains just for him. Just like the one I was in when I was captured, no matter how hard I tried to break them, they would not break but o-”

“Of course they wouldn’t break. You are just a female” Green eyes Alpha said, laughing but everyone just stared blankly at him.

I balled my hands in a fist as my eyes started to glow a bright golden. I and my wolf do not like being laughed at or labeled as weak.

Let’s show him who’s weak my wolf said and I agreed with her.

A warm hand was placed on my thigh, rubbing the clothed skin softly and I calmed a little from the sensation.

“I suggest you close what you call a mouth Gio unless you want to lose your tongue.” The king threatened and Gio gulp before lowering his head in submission.

“Apologies your majesty” He murmured but the king shoke his head. “Not to me” Elijah said.

Alpha Gios’ head turned towards me  “forgive me Lady Celeste” He said with a hint of venom in his voice but I ignored him.

“As I was saying,” I continued “Only the rogue king was able to break the chains and immediately he did, it turned to dust” I said looking each Alphas and Councilor as they listened to me.

“So we make something just like that?” A younger Alpha asked and I nodded.

“Yes, Exactly… But stronger”

“Wow, that’s brilliant lady Celeste” Someone commented. ” and with the help of not one but multiple witches, it would be hard to penetrate.”

Everyone nodded and complimented my ideas now bringing in other Topics to help their packs.

I sighed and zoned out of what they were saying, occasionally nodding and smiling so it could seem like I was listening.

When the meeting was over, we all got up and the King held my hand, while everyone waited for him to dismiss them.

“I would like to announce that Lady Celeste and I are engaged” The king said aloud and I smiled and laughed as everyone congratulated us.
