Chapter 71 Day Of Reckoning

• After ending the conference call, Seleste and I retired to my room and spent the rest of the day and night together. I just did not want to let her go or let her out of my sight. We talked and loved each other for hours. Seleste told me about her encounter with the goddess the day she left me. I’m slightly hurt that she knew I was under the influence of magic that long, but I understand that she had to follow the instructions of the goddess. Onyx had also explained everything to me this morning. The goddess had come to him as well. That was the only way he did not go feral with the thought of losing our true mate.
• After spending the whole day and night locked in my room, Seleste and I had to come back to the real world. I wish I could spend more time just Seleste and me, but we are on a time crunch. We don’t know when the dark lord will strike again. Everyone has been working around the clock to prepare for the upcoming war. The king and councilman Bari called me to the council two days after the conference call. Seleste and I spent the two days together training her warriors who have returned to my pack and cross-training my warriors in the different fighting styles that Seleste trained her warriors. I am impressed with how well-trained Seleste and her inner circle are. They fight as one. My elite warriors got their asses handed to them by her team. My mate even got me down embarrassingly fast. I heard from her warriors that she is pretty much undefeated.
• When the call came for me to meet with the council to testify about what happened to me, Seleste agreed to travel with me. Neither one of us wanted to be separated for any length of time. Seleste said that she had to look after me since I lost weight during our last separation and didn’t sleep. Whatever her reasoning, I’m just glad that I don’t have to travel without her. We left my beta and Warrior Peace and his mate in charge of the training. Talia and the twins made it back to the pack last night. They also apologized to me and we made up. I can understand and appreciate how protective they are of my mate. After Gamma True explained how hard it was for them to see her like that, I truly understand. My mate is very strong and the thought of my actions of inactions causing her that much pain makes me want to hurt everyone involved as badly as everyone wanted to hurt me. We all are even more determined to make all of them pay.
