The Alpha's Unwanted Mate
The Alpha’s Unwanted Mate Chapter 109 Book 2 Chapter 41

Zillon parked his car in front of Celeste’s parents house and wasted no time to step out of it. He walked around to the passenger seat, opening up the door for Celeste who sat timidly inside. “Celeste, come on.”

“I don’t want to.”

Zillon sighed, turning to Fredd and Liam who sat around the back. “Go ahead, we’ll catch up soon.”

The men nodded, stepping out of the car and only then did Zillon turn back to face Celeste. “After two months, we’ve finally gotten a clue. We can’t let it go to waste.”

“But they’ll blame me too.”

“Not in front of me, you know that I’ll protect you.”

“Yes bu—”

“Come on, baby. I don’t want to force you, but this is important…do you want to become Luna with nobody to rule over? Do you want to lead without a pack?”

Celeste shook her head.

“Come then…” He stretched out his arm to celeste, urging her even more. “I already want to condemn them, don’t give me more reasons to.”

Celeste reached for his hand, reluctantly putting hers in it. “Alright, I’ll come.”

She shuffled out of her seat and walked alongside Zillon to the door that Liam and Fredd stood beside. Zillon glared at them. “Didn’t I send you guys in?”

“Well you did…but so?”

“You’re already on my bad side, Liam…don’t make it worst.”

“Right…” Liam nodded, turning towards the door. With a sigh, he knocked and outside they waited until the door was pulled open revealing Celeste’s mom; Nadine.

She had a marvelous fake smile on her face, her hands clasped before her as she analyzed everyone’s face. She gasped as soon as her eyes met Celeste’s. “Celeste…? Oh god, my poor daughter. I heard that you came, but I didn’t come visit you because I thought you needed some alone time. It’s nice that you came to visit me and brought along your…Alpha and friends as well.”

She opened the door wider, letting everybody in. Liam was the first to enter, then Fred, then Zillon who hauled Celeste behind him.

“We’re not really here for a visit ma’am, my mate is simply here to pick up something she left behind. It’s important, so if you don’t mind, we’ll just start our search for it now.”

“Yes you can start, but I need to talk to my daughter first, she’s been gone for so long that worry has now caved my heart. If you don’t mind, come here Celeste.”

Celeste looked towards Zillon, then back at her mother. “Alright.”

She stepped forward and Zillon mimicked her actions.

“Alone…” Nadine clarified. “I need to talk to my daughter alone.”

“Why can’t I—”

“It’s alright Zillon, I’ll be back in a sec.” Celeste grumbled.

She followed her mother out and Zillon opted to follow them, but Fredd stopped him. “Leave them be, she might cry a lot, but Celeste knows how to handle herself.”

“You’re right…” Zillon sighed. “She’s strong, isn’t she?”

Fredd nodded, eyes searching the house. “How about Liam and I go search for the room that smells like Celia the most.”

“Right…go ahead, I’ll wait for Celeste to return here…”

Or not…

As soon as Liam and Fredd left, Zillon walked in the direction Celeste’s mom went, hands in his pockets as he followed their scents and their hardly audible voices.

Soon, his eyes were on them and from afar he watched and listened their interaction by the staircase.

“Sweetheart…it seems you’ve gotten a little thicker, even your eyes stand out more, you must be happy.”

Celeste nodded. “I suppose I am.”

“Then how about making me happy too, and your father?”

“H-How?”

“Get her out of that cell. Celia doesn’t belong there. Tell your mate, convince him, he’ll listen to you.”

“He won’t…he doesn’t even like the thought of me going to see her.”

“Then how about you try first before speculating.”

“I can’t…I—”

Her mother’s ugly smile vanished in an instant and austerity took over. “If you don’t, I’ll make sure you live in hell for the rest of your life.” She gripped Celeste’s blouse, hauling her closer so she could peer down evilly into her face. “You were a problem from the beginning, an omega born from two betas? You were an unheard of crime…you’re lucky we kept you so long and for that you need to do us this favour, get your sister out.”

Celeste shook her head, her eyes blurring with tears. That’s when Zillon stepped forward, but he stopped in his track when Celeste spoke. “I’m not just a mere omega anymore mother, let go of me…I’m a Luna now, your Luna and you don’t speak or treat your Luna in such a manner…so let go of me if you don’t want to end up in a cell too.”

“W-What?” Surprise took a stance across her mother’s face when the words registered. “What did you just say?”

“I simply told you to let me go.”

“In an awfully rude way.”

“And so? Weren’t you speaking to me rudely too? My rank is above yours now…don’t disrespect me because you think I’m weak.” She grabbed her mother’s hand, ripping it off of her. “Now if you’ll excuse me.”

She opted to walk away, but her mother stopped her. “Do you think I’m a fool? You didn’t come here to search for anything and even if you did come to search, it’s for something to condemn my poor daughter more, I won’t let it happen, neither you or your alpha will be goin—”

Zillon finally did what he was so eager to do; step forward. “We’ll see about that and the last time I checked, I’m your alpha too. You’re no longer in power…your daughter’s a beta, but she’d useless because she’s not being used, she’s just like any other pack member now and so are you. Your husband’s position has been taken, and it’s not by your daughter, you have no authority.”

Zillon grabbed Celeste. “You did good kitten, where’s your sister’s room?”

Celeste pointed up the stairs and at the same time, Liam and Fredd came running in. “The only room downstairs is the storage room and a study…Celia’s scent is weak in both.”

“Not to worry, Celeste said it’s upstairs, come!”

All four of them headed upstairs and Celeste’s mother followed them, yelling for them to stop, yelling for her mate…

Zillon paid her no mind though, not until one of the room door flicked open, revealing the past beta, yawning as though he had just woken up. “Nadine…? What’s up? What’s the yelling fo—?”

His eyes zoomed in on Zillon and Celeste and Liam and Fredd…the only word leaving his mouth being a…”ohhh.”

A/N// It felt so good to have Celeste deal with that fake b*tch …I wanted her to punch her like she did Liam, but I couldn’t do it…

I just…I just…

Ahhhh!

And about Zillon and about Celeste’s father…
