Chapter 37

Remember to vote and comment (I'm experimenting without goals)

I'm so serious about how serious this book is getting.

Xavier's POV

I looked over all of the paper work that I was doing and sighed. Some of the surrounding packs have been sending complaints about the rogues and asking for help. They are getting way too far out of control and the two rogues, experiments, whatever they are are not being helpful anymore. Neither of them will give out where Malum is hiding. We need to find that bastard and kill him and hopefully after he is gone the rogues will calm down.

I hear the door open and Celeste's intoxicating scent reaches my nose. I look up and smile at her. In her hands she has two plates of food. I smile at her and she walks up to my desk placing the food on my desk.

"Lesa told me to bring some food up here so I thought I'd join you for lunch," she says and a blush makes its way up her neck. She moves to stand in front of me and I pull her onto my lap, making a squeal leave her lips.

"Thank you little one." I keep her on my lap, my wolf purring in content at her close proximity. We ate in silence but every now and then Celeste would sigh happily and as much as I would like to think it is because of me I know it is because of her love for food. I could lock her up in a pantry and she would't even be mad at. The people who go grocery shopping would be. They would have to buy more of everything.

I push the plate of food away when I finish and Celeste stacks hers on top of mine. I put my hands on her waist and lean down to her neck. I trail light kisses up and down her neck Celeste leans back into my chest and lets out a breathy moan. That's when I stop because my wolf was yelling at me to mark her. I want to mark her also but she isn't ready.

Celeste turns beat red and I chuckle. I kiss her temple and she turns around in my lap. She looks me directly in the eyes, her brown eyes completely captivating me. I lean forward and press my lips to hers softly. She kisses me back, her arms wrapping around my neck. I pull away and kiss her forehead.

"Let's go do something little one. How does that sound?" She nodded and got off of my lap. I grabbed the plates and got up, walking to the kitchen with Celeste right behind me. I put the plates down in the kitchen and spun around to wrap my arms around Celeste. She smiled at me and I kissed the tip of her nose.

She blushed and pushed me away from her playfully. "Let's go," I said holding my hand out for her. She entwined our fingers and I smiled. I walked out of the pack house, pulling Celeste closer to me as we passed by a few pack members. My wolf was on edge with those two rogues being here, even with the both of them locked away.

"Where are we going?" I looked down at her and smiled.

"I promised that I would take you back there." She squealed in excitement and wrapped her arms around my waist while still walking. I chuckled and turned her back around so she wouldn't trip.

We walked for a while Celeste continuously playing with my fingers. Eventually we made it to my mother's clearing, the smile on Celeste's lips widening. She truly did love this place. Mother did too. She always talked about how she wanted a small cottage out here but Father said it was to close to the edge of the boarder. She was so upset but everyday my father would come here and pick a flower for her. It made her happy enough to forget about actually wanting the cottage.

Celeste pulled me to the middle of the clearing and sat down, me following after her. She rested her head on my shoulder and took a deep breath in.

"Xavier," she whispered. She seemed so calm here. It was a nice change to see. So much has been happening lately that I think it is important for her to be able to be normal every once and a while.
