Always Alone

Chapter 13

Celeste's POV

I woke up to an empty bed and a hand written note on the pillow. I sat up with an ache between my legs that wasn't ever there before. Thoughts of last night flew through my head as I remembered what happened. My face turned pink at the memories.

I turned to the note from my mate and it read.

Celeste, I'm sorry I had a few things to do this morning but I'll be in the kitchen by the time you wake up sweet one. Come eat breakfast. Love you.

The writing was not the same to the note I saw on the bed last night. I left the bed and went straight to my chest of drawers to claim the note. I had to rummage through to find it but finally I did. I held the two notes side by side and frowned. Both very different in hand writing and the usage of words. The other note read:

My precious Luna, I can't wait to make you mine. Soon my angel we will be together as intended from the beginning, ill wait for you, but not long. Wait for me. S.

I thought it had been from Senan at first but perhaps I'm wrong. I wasn't sure if Senan would write a note like this and if he did then Finn would remember wouldn't he? I sat both notes down on the table before I and eny way to the bathroom to get dressed for the day. The shower was a feet to deal with but I handled it well none the less.

Stepping out of the shower I felt a cold breeze come from the door that I could have sworn was closed but perhaps I was just too tired to notice...although, I'm never to tired to notice things like that. I've always been sharp for details, I had to be in my old pack. A shiver ran down my spine, but not from the cold.

On the bed, laying on my pillow, was a new note. The handwriting was like the one I saw last night. I slowly walked to the bed and sniffed around. I couldn't detect any other scents but mine and Finn's, I was never good at catching faint scents like the others but if someone had been here I'd be able to smell them. Or so I told myself.

I reached for the note and my blood ran cold....

Luna, you've let that freak of nature touch and have what is mine. I thought surely you'd wait...but no worries, my plans for us will just have to speed up. S

My hands were shaking and my breathing was fast, who would want me? I'm Finn's mate, not his, why go through the trouble? Did I know them, did they know everything about me? I was so caught in my thoughts and what to do I didn't realize I was dressed and headed for the door. Beofe I made it there I stopped and grabbed the notes before I went, I had to show Finn, he was my mate after all.

A sudden wave of doubt hit me as I walked down the hall. What if he gets angry at me? What if he thinks I was with another before him? Would he reject me? Would he blame me? This morning was not what I wanted it to be. I saw the note last night and thought it was from Senan. I was determined then and there to let my mate have me. I wanted him just as bad as I thought he wanted me but now I know it wasn't him.

I had made it to the bottom of the steps when I came out of my thoughts, making my way towards the kitchen I could hear a few people talking including my mate. Tom's voice rang out and I instantly felt relieved. If anything were to happen, Tom would keep me safe, I hoped.

I was standing in the doorway to the large kitchen looking at the scene before me. My handsome mate was at the large stove cooking what smelt like bacon and eggs while Tom and a blonde woman sat at the island counter watching and talking. I wasn't sure if I should speak or just walk in but before I could make a decision small hands tugged my shirt.
