Revenge : His Mysterious Werecat

by Layla Colquhoun

  Once we were under the water, he engulfed me in a loving embrace, and those sparks instantly made my body tingle in the most tantalizing way. Needless to say, it wasn't long before he had me pinned against the shower wall, while we mated with each other.

  It wasn't quite as pleasurable as mating with Lance, but I still enjoyed the intimate time we shared. Kyle was phenomenal at giving me pleasure, and I was kind of glad it happened. I still planned to exact my revenge on him, but I liked the idea of having one very special memory of Kyle to hold onto.

  However, I felt like I had betrayed Lance, and I couldn't find the nerve to face him right away, so I got dressed, then I climbed under the blanket on Kyle's bed. It wasn't long before Kyle joined me, then he pulled me into his arms and drowsily murmured, "Thank you, mate. That was absolutely amazing."

  "You're welcome, mate. I'm glad you enjoyed it, as much as I did," was the response I mumbled in return.

  Kyle chuckled before he pecked a kiss on my forehead, then he whispered, "Goodnight, my Luna."

  "Goodnight, Kyle," I whispered as I snuggled against his warm body.

  It wasn't long before we both fell asleep wrapped in each other's arms. I enjoyed the few hours of peaceful sleep that I got, but I was instantly filled with dread when I woke-up and remembered what had happened with Kyle in the shower. It didn't help that Lance was nowhere near me, and I couldn't help but worry that he was mad about what happened.

  I quietly climbed off the bed, then I headed out to the living room. Right away, I found Lance sleeping on the couch with deep frown lines etched on his face. I was quick to sit on the edge of the couch, then I rubbed the pad of my thumb over his forehead, as I apologetically whispered, "I'm so sorry, Lance. I never wanted to do anything that could hurt you, but I did, and I feel awful about it."

  Suddenly, both of Lance's hands shot up, then he pulled me down on top of him. After that, he snuggled his face against my neck and took several deep inhales of my scent, before he groggily mumbled, "Sweetie, I'm not mad at you. I understand how hard this must be. I couldn't imagine trying to juggle two different mates at the same time, and I won't hold anything you do with your mate against you. However, if you had done that with somebody random, I wouldn't be so forgiving."

  I lifted my head up and lovingly gazed into his eyes, as I confidently stated, "You will never have to worry about that happening. Being with my mate is one thing. Being with some random nobody is not for me."

  Lance tightened his arms around me, then he huskily murmured, "Celeste, I love you more than anything, and I refuse to let this come between us. This is just a temporary hiccup. I knew from the beginning that there was a high likelihood of this happening, so don't go worrying yourself to death about it."

  It was times like these that reminded me why I loved Lance so much. He had always been sweet and understanding when it came to anything related to me, and this situation was proving to me that Lance loved me unconditionally.

  Induction Ceremony

  Kyle POV

  I got up early to find Celeste had already left my bed. I quickly got dressed, then I walked to the living room to find her laughing on the couch with Lance. She looked so happy and content sitting with him, it made me feel a little bad about making her agree to send him home, but a deal is a deal.

  Instead of sitting with them on the couch, I went straight to the kitchen and poured a cup of the already brewed coffee. After I added cream and sugar to it, I walked back to my bedroom and started getting ready to head to my office. I had a lot of things I needed to check on in order to make sure everything was ready for the Induction Ceremony.

  I was only in there for a few seconds, when Celeste walked in and curiously asked, "How did you sleep?"

  I finished buttoning the slacks I had just put on, then I walked up to my gorgeous mate. I wrapped one arm around her shoulders, then I lifted my other hand up and caressed her cheek, as I gazed into her beautiful sapphire eyes and huskily mumbled, "I had the best sleep of my life, thanks to you."

  Before she had a chance to respond, I smashed my lips against hers and passionately kissed my mate. Right away, she responded to the kiss, and that filled me heart with joy. When I woke up and she was already gone, I was worried she had changed her mind about being my mate and Luna, but that was obviously not the case.

  After close to a minute of kissing her soft lips, I pulled away from her and mumbled, "I need to get going and make sure everything is ready for tonight."

  She flashed me a warm smile and happily replied, "Okay, mate. Have a good day."

  I released Celeste from my hold, then I grabbed my gray shirt and pulled it over my head, before I put on my shoes. Once I was completely dressed, I walked to the bathroom and ran a comb through my hair, then I brushed my teeth.

  Celeste stood at the doorway and watched me the whole time, but I didn't mind. I found it to be sweet, how she was gazing at me and smiling while I got ready for my day.

  After I left the bathroom, I pulled her back into my arms, then I caught her lips with mine for another sweet kiss. This time when I pulled my lips away, I mumbled against her lips, "I can't wait to mark you after the ceremony. It's going to be the best moment of my life."

  "It's also going to be the best moment of my life," she softly murmured, then she pressed her full lips against mine for another quick kiss.

  I hugged her a little tighter before I released her from my arms, then I happily chirped, "I will see you this evening, my Luna."

  Right away, I left my suite and headed to my office. When I got there, I checked my messages and emails, then I headed outside to make sure there weren't any unexpected hiccups with the preparations for the ceremony. Once I confirmed that everything was going as planned, I grabbed some lunch and took it back to my office.

  I spent the rest of the day taking care of my Alpha duties, and I made sure to push myself to get everything done, so I could spend the next day in bed with my mate. When I was done for the day, I headed back to the Alpha suite to find my mate and Lance taking a nap in one of the spare bedrooms.

  Instead of waking them up, I headed to my bathroom and took a quick shower. By the time I was done, Celeste and Lance were both awake. They were taking a shower together in the other bathroom, and that bothered me a little bit, but I brushed it off and went back to my bedroom to start getting ready for the ceremony.

  I got dressed in my black suit that had cream pin stripes and a cream shirt, then I returned to my bathroom and combed my hair back with a little styling gel. I wanted to look my best for Celeste at her Induction Ceremony.

  When I left the bathroom, Celeste was in my bedroom pulling on a beautiful cherry red gown. It didn't have any fancy rhinestones or anything like that, but it hugged her curves perfectly, and it made her look absolutely elegant.

  Celeste POV

  Lance and I enjoyed a quiet morning by ourselves, then we ate some lunch before we went out for a quick run together. I was feeling a little nervous about the night that was ahead of me, so I figured a run would be a good way to let out some of that anxiousness, and it definitely helped a little.

  When we returned to the suite a few hours later, I was beyond ready for a nap. We laid down together in the guest bedroom, and I was quick to fall asleep in Lance's warm embrace.

  We slept longer than usual, since we didn't take a nap earlier, and by the time we woke up, Kyle had returned from taking care of his Alpha duties. He was taking a shower in his bathroom, so I pulled Lance to the other bathroom, then we took a quick shower together.

  After I got out of the shower, I wrapped a towel around my body, then I went to Kyle's bedroom, where I had my favorite gown hanging up. He was in his bathroom combing his hair, so I dropped the towel from around me and started pulling on the satin red gown.

  As soon as I reached back to pull the zipper up, Kyle nonchalantly mumbled, "Let me get that for you, mate."

  Instantly, I reached up and pulled my hair to the s
ide of my neck, so it wouldn't get caught in the zipper, as Kyle closed the gap between us. When he reached me, he slowly pulled the zipper up, then he placed the palms of his hands on my shoulders and gave them a gentle squeeze.

  After that, he dipped his head down and left a trail of soft kisses across my left shoulder and up the curve of my neck. When he reached my ear, he whispered, "Mate, you look stunning in this gown."

  I leaned back against him and purred, "Thank you, mate. I'm glad you like this one."

  "I don't just like it, I love this gown on you. I hope to see you wear it again in the future," he mumbled as he snuggled his face against my neck.

  He was making those wonderful sparks flow between us, and there was no stopping me from enjoying the moment. I knew our time together would be ending soon, so I figured why not enjoy the time I had left with him.

  After a few more seconds, he pulled his face away from me and nonchalantly stated, "I should leave you alone, so you can finish getting ready. I want my Luna looking her best tonight."

  I never used make-up, so all I needed to do was style my hair. I didn't see the point in making myself look fake using make-up, when I was already beautiful without it.

  As soon as Kyle left the bedroom, I walked into the bathroom and started brushing my hair. Once I worked through all the tangles, I pulled it up into a tight bun on the back of my head, but I left a few strands out to frame my face. When I was done with my hair, I slipped my feet into a pair of red high heels, then I joined my mates in the living room.

  They both gazed at me with lust in their eyes and their mouths hanging open. I stood in front of them, then I lifted up on both of their chins at the same time and closed their mouths. I loved seeing both of my mates react to my beauty in such a way, so there was no stopping me from giggling at them.

  Lance was the first to speak after that. He grabbed ahold of my hips and pulled me to him, then he rested his head against my belly and mumbled, "You look so beautiful, Celeste."

  Kyle was quick to agree. "You look absolutely gorgeous, mate," he stated with a wide smile on his face.

  I smiled at both of my mates, then I enthusiastically asked, "Are you ready for this?"

  Right away, Kyle stood up and grabbed my hand, as he cheerfully replied, "I have never been more ready for anything."

  Lance shook his head at Kyle, then he stood up and flashed me a smile before he nonchalantly replied, "I'm as ready as I'm going to be."

  Kyle led us through the pack house and out of the back door, while keeping a firm grasp on my hand. As soon as we stepped outside, my eyes widened at the work that had been done to prepare for this ceremony. There was a stage set up, with enough chairs set out for every pack member. There was also several tables set up with an array of different foods.

  Decorations had been set up, and there were vases of different flowers on all of the tables. To the side, there was an area set up for those who liked to dance. It was decorated with white fairy lights, and it was obvious that Kyle had put some serious thought into this ceremony and celebration.

  When we reached the stage, Kyle glanced at Lance and nonchalantly stated, "You have a chair reserved in the front row."

  Lance flashed Kyle a forced smile before he mumbled, "Thanks," then he pecked a kiss on my cheek and affectionately murmured, "Congratulations, sweetie." After that, he walked to the front row of seats and sat down.

  Kyle wasted no time leading me up the few stairs to the stage, then he headed straight for the microphone. When he reached it, he cleared his throat, then he used his Alpha voice to greet the pack members by stating, "Thank you for joining us tonight. I am pleased to announce that tonight we will hold the induction ceremony to make my mate, Celeste the Luna of our pack."

  There was a quick round of cheers, then Kyle held up his hand and everybody fell silent again. After a few seconds, Kyle continued, "Celeste Carlisle, do you accept me, Kyle Maddox as your mate and Alpha?"

  I hesitated for just a second, then I replied, "Yes, I accept you as my mate and Alpha."

  "Do you accept the Great Forest Pack as your pack, and do you agree to always treat everybody in the pack with respect?" he asked in his Alpha voice.

  "Yes, I accept the Great Forest Pack as my pack, I agree to treat the pack members with respect," I quickly responded.

  Kyle cleared his throat again, then he flashed me a genuine smile before he asked, "Do you, Celeste Carlisle, accept the title of Luna to the Great Forest Pack? Do you agree to always put the pack first, and to take care of our pack members?"

  I took a deep breath, then I confidently stated, "I accept the title of Luna to the Great Forest Pack. I agree to always have the pack's best interests at heart, and I will take care of our pack members."

  Kyle's smile widened, as his Alpha voice boomed, "I, Kyle Maddox, accept you, Celeste Carlisle, as my mate and Luna. I swear to protect you and our pack, as well as, treat you with respect, my Luna."

  As soon as he spoke the last word, his eyes turned yellow, then I felt the Luna aura surround me. It was such a surreal moment, when I felt that powerful aura envelope me. Instantly, my lips curved up to form an ear to ear smile, as I took in a deep breath of air.

  I had completed this phase of the mission, and I was feeling so relieved about that. Now I just had to get rid of Kyle, then I could sign the peace agreement. I just had to wait for the perfect time to exact my revenge on Kyle, which would also take him out of the picture completely and allow me to finish my mission.

  Chapter 29

  Revenge on Kyle

  Kyle POV

  I was overjoyed to see the Luna aura surround my gorgeous mate, and I was quick to pull her into my arms, then I smashed my lips against hers and gave my mate a passionate kiss in front of my pack members. Right away, Celeste wrapped her arms around me and returned the kiss with just as much passion.

  When I pulled my lips away, I nuzzled my nose against hers and huskily asked, "Can I mark you now?"

  She trailed her fingertips along the nape of my neck and smiled, as she coyly replied, "Not right now. I want to do that in the privacy of our suite."

  I chuckled at my mysterious werecat mate, before I cheerfully stated, "Okay, kitten, but I'm going to hold you to that, as soon as we get there."

  Celeste flashed me a smirk, then she seductively murmured, "You are going to wait until we are in bed tonight."

  I tightened my arms around her and chuckled again, then I happily replied, "That sounds even better."

  After that, we left the stage and joined the rest of the pack members who were celebrating the arrival of our Luna. It was great to see my mate interacting with our pack members, and everybody she talked to immediately warmed up to her with ease. I was relieved to see my pack welcome our Luna, and I knew right then that I had made the right choice in making Celeste our Luna.

  I very much enjoyed the time we spent together that night, and I was glad Lance stayed to himself, so Celeste could mingle with me and the members of our pack. After a few hours, Celeste's eyes glazed over for just a second, then she nonchalantly stated, "I'll be right back."

  As soon as the last word left her mouth, she sprinted over to Lance. I was surprised to see how easy it was for her run in the high heels. It wasn't something that a lot of our shewolves could do.

  When she returned to me a few minutes later, I was quick to ask, "Is everything okay?"

  "Everything is great. I was just telling Lance goodnight. It's past time for our naps, but don't worry, I still have plenty of energy," she peppily replied.

  "Good, because I have plans for you in the bedroom," I cheekily remarked, as I draped my arm over her shoulders and pulled her against my side.

  We mingled for another hour, then we headed back to our suite. I was ecstatic about finally getting to mark my mate, and there was definitely a bounce in my step.

  As soon as we got there, I pulled her to the bedroom right away. I had already waited too long as it was, and I wasn't waiting any longer. Once
we got there, I pulled her into my arms and huskily mumbled, "Are you ready now, mate?"

  She tilted her head back and smiled at me, as she happily replied, "I am ready, but I need to mark you first. That's how my species does this."

  Instantly, I tilted my head to the side and enthusiastically chirped, "Mark me, kitten. I'm more than ready."

  She giggled for just a second, then she slid the tip of her nose along the curve of my neck. When she brushed over my sweet spot, my body trembled with pleasure and anticipation.

  A second later, I felt her pierce my neck, but not like I was expecting. Instead of marking me, she ripped my throat wide open, then she dropped her arms from around me.

  My body crumpled to the floor, as my hands grasped ahold of my throat. I couldn't believe what had just happened. It reminded me of the dream I had about killing Alana, who had died years before that at the school. I couldn't comprehend why this was happening. All I could do was choke on the blood that was seeping into my lungs.

  I looked up to see my mate smirking at me with the most evil look of pure hatred swirling in her eyes. I was stunned by the intensity of the hate I saw, but all I could do was mouth the word 'why'.

  She knelt down in front of me, then she fisted my hair and snarled, "Do you remember Alana?"

  Instantly, my eyes widened in surprise. Alana was the last name I expected to hear from her mouth.

  Celeste narrowed her eyes at me, then she angrily spat, "I was Alana in my previous life, and this is how you killed me on the day of my sixteenth birthday. You found out I was your mate, and you didn't want a weak mate, so you killed me. Now it's your turn to die the same way Alana died."

  After that, she stood back up and walked over to the bed. She sat on the edge of it and watched me struggle to breath with a wicked grin on her face. The last thought I had, as I took my last breath was that I deserved to die if what I saw in my dream and what she told me was true.
