Chapter 21 THE PRICE OF SURVIVAL
Celestia's POV
I looked at him really looked at him to see if he was capable of what he had just said and the look that came back at me told me that he was 100% capable of it that he was going to yell loudly enough for everyone together and rip me into shreds.
This was a man that I had known even before I became a rogue I had seen him more or less like a father figure after my own parents passed away all to imagine that he would not help me in my deepest time of need it was as if he was waiting for me to really be pushed to the corner before he decided to lay out trying to sleep with me as an option and since that did not work out for him he would rather that I die as a response I told him that they were people waiting for me back as the rogue camp people that needed me.
He laughed so hard it sounded like an unnatural vibration of thunder.
"Do you think that I care about a bunch of worthless rogues? Tell me you have something better than that to say now if you know what is good for him you will come back here and please me as I wish and maybe I might not even offer what was already on the table you got to greedy so this is it if you want to work out of here alive then you should agree to what I want and I'll make my considerations as to whether or not you'll be leaving this place in one piece,"
Just as I wondered if I would have to sleep with this abhorable man something unexpected happened someone walked into the VIP room and from the look on his handsome face I could already tell that he had overheard our entire conversation Steven's face immediately changed color.
High-ranking wolves that were also involved with rogues would not be killed but they would experience something that was almost as bad as losing their title possibly in worst-case scenarios followed by all the privileges that came with it and eventually being demoted to something that was not even high enough to be called an Omega.
"Get out of my sight," the man said, looking at Beta Steven who quickly took the opportunity and was out within a second.
Leaving just me and the man taking a closer look at him I noticed that it was the same guy who had wrapped his head around me earlier while I was waiting for bitter Steven to show up.
I guess a little favor like that might not be enough reason for him to spare my life or was he going to make the same request as Steven did earlier?
"I think I've met you before..." he said thoughtfully walking towards me I was confused was he not going to accuse me as a rogue who had entered the presence of high-ranking wolves but for whatever reason he wasn't bringing that up I decided to follow on with this conversation until an opportunity to escape presented itself fully to me.
"I was outside just now..."
"No not that now that I'm getting another look at you, I have to say you look quite familiar where are you from?"
I was wondering if he did not really overhear the conversation since he was speaking to me as if I was a regular wolf then he backtracked and corrected himself.
"I mean who were you before you became a rogue,"
For some reason even though he had said it's just stating the facts it hurts like a cut to my pride.
"I was once the Luna of Brazen Pack,"
I said recalling those days when I had once been one of the most important wolves who could never be looked down on well except by my own mate. But it wasn't as if it was an endless thing from him everyone else pretty much respected me and I took care of my people putting them ahead of my own self all for me to be banished and not a single person was able to fight for me.
Nobody stood up to say what was happening to me was wrong all it took was to repeat my former identity before I became Celestia and nothing else.
Rogues were not allowed to have last names, we were cut away from everything including our own families so of course we would not be able to carry their name with us after we went into a land of rejection.
My parents were no longer of this world so it's not like there was anyone who wanted to contest that before I was stripped away from everything.
I can't believe I was crying in front of a stranger, then again I was waiting for this odd conversation to end for he finally blew the whistle on me and had everyone running here to see who had their to interrupt their banquet.
But instead of taking advantage of me the way Stephen had to tried to do earlier it took me over to the couch and sat me down as I cried and I really needed that cry all this time I was supposed to be the strongest the pillar for everyone else I heard forgotten how to just relax for a second and take care of myself but not that I think about it ever since my parents passed away there was hardly ever a time that I lived for myself after I became a rogue it wasn't long onto I was taking other people on the my winged because I didn't know how to survive without helping others survive first.
Cried thinking that at least I deserved that before I was finally killed and when I looked up and asked the man if he was not going to report me he raised an eyebrow and said.
"Why would I do that?"
