Chapter 38
“You father had this pathway put in back when we were teenagers.” She said, a faraway look on her face. I nodded my head and the two of us walked onto the stone pathway into the woods. We walked for a few moments, in complete silence, until we reached a beautiful lake. I was completely surprised because I had no clue that there was a lake anywhere near our house.
“Your dad brought me here for our first date, and ended up carrying me all the way home.” She ended with a laugh. A small smile made its way into my face because of how in love my parents are. Continuing on the path my mom went into full story mode.
“You see for one of our dates your dad had made this pathway and then scattered rose petals to lead me to him. The petals led past the lake and all the way to where he was.” She finished as we approached a waterfall. Just like the lake it was beautiful. As we continued to walk we passed a large meadow of flowers and a small stream that was buzzing with life, all along the way mom told me about her and dads date.
I was starting to think that this story didn’t really have a good meaning behind it because it was doing nothing but putting me in an even worse mood when we suddenly walked into a large and beautiful meadow. The trees towered above us, creating a canopy, and there were butterflies and flowers and life everywhere, it was amazing. I stared in awe before mom started taking again.
“And this place, this place is the most important of all of them. This is where your dad proposed to me, where we completed the mating process, and where we got married.” She said dreamily. I got slightly grossed out look on my face when she talked about the mating process but other wise I thought it was sweet.
“I get it that this place is special and stuff but to be honest your really helping me feel any better..” I trailed off. Mom turned to me and smiled largely before taking a seat on the ground. She patted the grass next to her and I slowly sat down. She then continued with her story.
“But our relationship wasn’t always happy and fairy tale like. You see back when I was about seventeen I wasn’t very…pretty to put it lightly. I was over weight and I used to get picked on all the time. Your father, being the future alpha was a total player and when he found out I was his mate he rejected me.” Mom said as she stared at a pretty flower in front of her. I let out a quiet gasp and stared at mom questioningly.
I would have never guessed that dad had rejected mom because there so happy and in love with each other. Mom nodded her head before continuing.
“I was so heart broken that I ran away. I ran for a few days and eventually I met Reed and he and the other boys excepted me into their pack. I worked hard and lost all of my weight and before I knew it I was beautiful and more confident with myself. Eventually we had to move in with your dads pack because of rogue problems. He was so surprised to see me and after a lot of hard work we got together and lived happily, put the point is that he realized what he had lost and how much I had meant to him. And I think that’s exactly what’s happening with your mate, I think that he’s finally realizing what he has. ” Mom finished off her story.
I was speechless for a few moments after that. Could it be true? Could he finally realized what he has right in front of him? Question after question was running threw my head and I just didn’t know what to make of it.
I let out a sigh before turning to my mom to see that she had a small smile playing on her lips. She got up and brushed the grass off of herself before looking down at me.
“Why don’t you stay out here for a little while, it’s a really great place to think.” Mom said as she smiled and walked off back towards the house.
I rubbed my eyes with my hands and then laid down in the grass. Could what my mom said be true? Could Xander really be changing his mind about me? And if so then what am I going to do about it? Well one things for sure, he won’t be getting me back easily.
“Celeste’s POV*
I stared up at the tall trees above me and let out a frustrated sigh. I’m still laying in the meadow that my mother brought me to earlier and I haven’t moved an inch since. My eyes darted around the meadow and with a grunt I pulled myself up off of the ground. I had just started to walk towards the paved path that would take me back home when I had the sudden urge to shift, so I did.
1 quickly scanned my surroundings to make sure that there was no one around before I pulled my clothes off and neatly put them at the bottom of a nearby tree. I closed my eyes as the familiar feeling of the shift took over my body, I slightly smiled and when I opened my eyes again I was no longer on two feet but on four paws. I let out a happy bark and took off running in the opposite direction of my house. I was running at top speed, ducking under branches and jumping over fallen trees, my wolf was so happy to finally be let out because it had been a while since I last shifted.
