I open my eyes and saw darkness. Am I in the right place? This has to be the unconscious part of Celia's mind. Why is this so dark? I only saw light at the end of my path. I could feel my wolf was getting defensive. Maybe he could feel Celia's presence.

"Celia can you hear me? You need to wake up" I said with a low voice. I know she can hear me. As I started walking towards the light, I saw three wooden doors on my way. First was stated as happy, second as sad and third one was lie. I was kinda curious about the third door. The lie door was the only one with red lights on top of it and others had green light.
I open the happy door and saw all the happy moments of her life. Some moments with me, her dad and mom, friends. A smile formed on my lips. I don't like to see her in pain. I still open the sad door. The first thing I saw was the day of her mother's funeral. She was completely broken. She misses her. I know what it feels like to loose someone. I loose too many people in my life. The next door was the one which stated as lie. I wonder what lie was she thinking about? As far as I know red light means, whatever it is, it's very deep into her thoughts. Meaning, she might not even remember this lie. I slowly open the door. I saw Celia's father and mother, they were talking in a very low voice, more like whispering.

"Don't you think you should tell her the truth?" Said Mr. Vargas in a serious way. What truth?

"No David, it's better if she believes the lie because the truth is always painful" said Mrs. Vargas. I was confused. What did they hide from Celia?

"But someday she will know everything, then what will happen?" Said Mr. Vargas. I stare at the door which was slightly ajar. I saw a little Celia behind the door. She was listening to everything. Maybe that's why she doesn't remember this happening, she was too little to remember. My wolf was getting more and more angry.

"She will hate you when she will find out that you are not his real father. We just have to act like a normal family" said Mrs. Vargas. What? Mr. David is not her real father? A sudden force of shock hit me. I didn't know what to believe. If Celia finds out, she will never be able to forgive her parents for lying to her. Fuck, I didn't expected that. The vision end and everything went back to darkness again. The doors disappeared. I don't think I can tell her the truth. But Mr. Vargas have to tell her everything. I will help her get through it. Who is her real father then? Lots of questions were going through my mind. My wolf wanted to tear into David's flesh for lying to our mate. This is not the time. I have to find Celia. I walk towards the light. As soon as I enter the area, sudden ray of light hit my eyes. I blink to adjust. The room was white and empty except a red button in the middle. It looks like heaven except I would never be in heaven, for all those horrible things I have done. I sighed and pushed the red button. It can be a trap. The floor open and I saw Celia, she was unconsciously laying on a bed. Her mascara was smeared under her eyes, looked like she was crying. Maybe she is in a loop of continuous nightmare. She looks beautiful as always. I slid down my hand on the side of her face in a warm caress, my fingers finally cupping her chin and lifting it. Wake up, I said under my breath. I lowered down and planted a kiss on her forehead. How can I wake you up? My wolf could smell Timber near somewhere. Timber is Celia's wolf.
"Don't leave me! I still need you. I never told you but you make me feel alive again" I said. I don't even know if she can hear me. She should wake up.

"Not until. Celia and I became one" I heard a voice. I turn around and saw Celia except it was not her. It just look like her.

"Timber" I said in a low voice. My wolf growled.

"Yes" replied Timber.

"You are looking hot" said Timber. She is really moody. My wolf was getting excited and defensive. He cannot control himself after seeing his mate. I cannot even speak anything bad about her or my wolf would get angry on me.

"I thought you hate her" I said looking at a unconscious Celia.

"We have a common enemy to take care of" said Timber. I looked at her, confused. What enemy? I raise my left eyebrow.

"Who? You were the one to take her humanity away" I said. My wolf got angry at me for saying that. He likes Timber too much.

"Do you think I am the enemy here? I always protected her. I never took her humanity. Do you know who is our real father?" Said Timber looking terrified. So she know about this?

"David was not our father, its Cerberus. It was never about the curse. We are an abomination" said Timber. Cerberus? As in the guardian of hell? I stare at Timber in disbelief. I know the story of Eliana and Cerberus. My grandfather used to tell me the story. But I thought it was a myth.

"Her name is Selena not Celia. Cerberus will be on Earth soon. Zakira must have done the ritual. You have to find our body before Cerberus does. You cannot let him get more powerful. If he kill us he will be unbeatable" said Timber, she was scared. I could see fear in her eyes. She walk towards Celia and hold her hands. I could never call her Selena. Celia suits her more.

"I will always find you even if you are on the edge of death. We will fight him together" I said. I realised that I was holding the necklace that Celia got from her mother as a gift.

"Promise me, if Cerberus kill us. You will burn Celia's body that way he could never take our power" said Timber. She had a smile on her face but also tears in her eyes. She fades away. They became one now. I put the necklace on her lifeless looking body.

"Sorry, but I cannot promise that" I said. The ground started shaking. Everything was getting destroyed. Celia must be waking up. I close my eyes, waiting for the darkness to take over me.
