The Alpha's Fallen Angel

Celine's First

Celine woke up the next morning feeling well rested and full of joy. She had the most wonderful dream of her time with the big wolf by the pond. His soft fur under her fingers, the sweet look of contempt in his eyes and the warmth she felt while laying on his back. But then her dream changed, she dreamt that he had turned into a human, but not just any human, he turned into Dominique and that he took her up into his arms and carried to bed, laid her down and whispered into her ear that she is his, and that he will always take care of her. When she realized what she had dreamt, she shot up out of bed and felt her cheeks heating up. "No, no, no, no. I cannot think of him like that. My wolf is not a human too, he can't be, can he? I need to speak to Dominique about this, but how, without him thinking that I am crazy?" As she thought about this and how she will handle the matter, the voice in her head suddenly spoke making her jump. "You can trust him, he will understand and he won't think that you are crazy" With this Celine just pulled a face, and went about her morning routine so that she can be on time for breakfast. 

"Good morning, I hope you slept well." Domonique asked from the table as Celine walked into kitchen. His smile caught her off guard and she stumbled over her own feet. She braced for the impact with the floor but instead found herself in Dominique's arms. It felt so familiar, but then so did the hot flush red color creeping up over her cheeks. She thanked him and went to sit down on the only open chair by the table, which was next to his chair. How did she not notice everyone else there, she wondered to herself. "Good morning everyone, sorry about the spectacle that I caused, I was just caught off guard with seeing everyone here already. O, and I slept very well thank you Dominique," she almost whispered that last part, feeling shy and not understanding why. She has never felt like this before. Dominique took his seat next to her and relaxed completely. "It's ok, we know this is new for you, no need to apologize. If you wish, I can take you into town a little later today, after your training session, and show you around." The hope in his eyes made her heart melt and she nodded and thanked him before she dug into her breakfast.

A little later that morning:

"Celine, are you ready to go to town, or would like a break first?" Dominique came walking up behind her. "Were you watching me train?" She just about squeaked when she spoke. "Yes, I wanted to see just how good you are. I  very impressed, you show more skill then my best warrior. I really think your skills will be perfect to train my guards and warriors." The pride in his voice reflected in his eyes and smile as well. Celine felt really appreciated and proud of herself. "I will ready in 10 minutes, I just want to freshen up." She looked at her clothes and frowned, realizing she has nothing else to wear except the clothes from earlier the morning. "Hey, it's ok, take all the time you need. As a welcome gift, I would like to take you shopping as well. I know you have nothing else, and I can see that it does not sit well with you. And I am not taking no for an answer." Dominique spoke with such authority that Celine was shocked to silence, then she started laughing. "Sure, if you insist, I will accept your gift, but only if you answer a question of mine while we're driving. "Then it hit her what she just said, why did I say that was the only thing running through her mind. "I'll answer anything you want me to if it means seeing you laugh so carefree." Just then, Dominique blushed blood red, realizing what he had said, and told Celine that he will meet her in the front of the castle.

"Did I say something wrong earlier? If I offended you, I am very sorry." Celine could not look at Dominique when she got in the car. When she spoke Dominique so much sadness and regret in her voice that it nearly broke his heart. He cannot bare it to see her like this, the pain he feels in his heart is something new. More then what he felt when his mate died during the last battle. "No Celine, you said nothing wrong. It was what I said, I don't want you to think that I am some weirdo." He reached over and squeezed her hand lightly. She could feel a tingle move over the skin on her hand when he did that. It felt really good and made her feel much better. "How cold just his touch make me feel so much better?" Smiling she looked up and saw that Dominique was just looking at her with a goofy boyish smile on his face. "Immm, are you ok?" She looked so confused. "Well I am not sure if you spoke to me or just to yourself, but if my touch on your hand made you feel better, well then I am happy that I could do that for you. Don't take this the wrong way, but I like seeing you smile." With that he started the car and headed off to town.

"You mentioned that you have a question for me..... Well I am will answer as best as I can." Smiling at her made him feel good inside. It made her smile to, but this time, it was a small shy smile. Dominique just about combusted from the instant love he felt for her at that moment. "Keep the car stead Romeo, you will hurt our mate if you don't concentrate." His wolf was extremely irritated, mainly because he wanted to feel her stroking her fingers through his fur again. "You're going to think I am crazy, but it was just a dream. The problem is, the dream felt very real, and I need to know if it was." Celine felt very unsure, not her confident self, like she normally is. "You see, I dreamt about my time with the wolf by the pond, and that he took back to the castle on his back. I dreamt that I had fallen asleep on his back and when we reached the castle, he turned into a human, and picked me up into his arms to carry me off to bed." She looked over Dominique and his jaw was clenched tight. "The human looked just like you, actually exactly like you. Please don't think that I am weird, and please don't feel offended." She looked out of the window next to her, as a tear silently rolled down her face. She would not be able to handle it if she lost another friend.

Dominique pulled the car off to the side of the road, reached over to softly take her chin and turn her to face him. "Why are you crying? I don't think that you're weird. Please don't cry, it breaks my heart to see you like this." He wiped the new tear away with the pad of his thumb and looked at her with so much feeling that she felt safe and something else that she has never felt before. It felt warm and tingly, like she was floating high in the sky between the clouds. "Thank you, you are so kind to me. But please, if you can just tell me if that was real? Because in my dream you carried me to my bed and whispered in my ear that,....that I am yours, and ..." She couldn't finish what she was saying, because she was scared that he would really think she is weird this time. "Hey, look at me please.... Let's go out for lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, then I will tell you everything. Please stop thinking that I think you're weird, because I don't. Can you please finish what you were going to say?" He looked almost happy to know that she heard what she said, and that she dreamt about it. "Well, you said that you will always take care of me. Please understand, I have always done that myself. I am new to this place and there is a lot that I do not know or understand. A lot of things are new to me. Back home, I had close friends that cared, well I hope that they did, and that is all I know. I always took care of myself, I was always independent and strong, and ...and...Well, I have never even my one true match yet. So I don't even know what affection feels like." She looked down to her hands on her lap, and noticed that they were now held in strong warm hands. 

Later, after a long drive through town.....

"You can order anything that you want from the menu, my treat." Dominique wasn't sure if she felt hesitant because he want's to treat her, or if she is just not hungry. "Celine, are you ok?" The confusion on her face made him smile, she looked really cute at that moment. "Immm, ok, I am just going to be honest with you, but please don't judge me, I am going to tell you this because you promised to tell me about my dream." She suddenly looked confident and there was light glow about her that made her look like an angel to him. "I have never eaten anything from this place, until the day before yesterday. So I don't know what all of this is, I don't know what to order." She took a breath and steeled herself to say the one thing she didn't want to. "I am not from this realm." Dominique looked at her, put his menu down, moved his chair closer to hers and started explaining what he thinks are the best meals on the menu. After a few minutes the waitress arrived and took their order. As she walked away, menus and order in hand, Dominique moved his chair back to his place and very seriously looked at Celine. "Sweetheart, you're not the only with a big secret. About you're dream, yes it really happened. The fact that you thought I would think you weird made me feel at ease. So I guess that you know about werewolves?" Celine looked shocked at him and then replied very carefully... "Yes, but I thought they were extinct. The Moon Goddess has been helping us back home to rehabilitate all the wolves that arrived by our gate and we have been receiving so many that I thought they went extinct." 

"What do you mean arrived and rehabilitated?" Dominique had a feeling that she meant completely other outer world when she said realm, but what other place has werewolves. "Dominique, (sigh), I am from Heaven. I am what you call a fallen Angel. My wings were taken from me and I was banished from Heaven. It is a long story about why, but I promise if you give me a chance and give me time, I will tell you everything when I am ready." Celine felt like a huge weight was lifted off of her shoulders. She feels like can talk to him about anything, just like she feels with the big wolf. "The Big Wolf!! O, sorry, I didn't mean to say that out loud." Dominique chuckled softly at her sudden outburst. "Celine, I knew you were special, but now I understand why you are so special. So let me tell you what I promised to tell you, ok.." Celine nodded and sat back, comfortably in his presence and hoping that she is not going crazy. Dominique spoke with confidence but also only loud enough for the two of them to hear. "I am a werewolf. I am the big wolf you saw in the woods. But there is something you need to know about werewolves before I carry on. You see, the thing is, we mate for life, and only a few of us are lucky enough to be mated with a second chance mate should we loose our mate." Celine saw the raw hurt and pain in his eyes, and immediately felt a strong stab in her heart. Her hand short up to her chest and she grabbed hard as if trying to grab her heart. Dominique moved closer to her, very aware of her pain. "Are you ok? Breath, just breath." Celine looked at him and she looked lost. "I can see your pain, in your eyes, did you loose your mate?" She kept holding her hand over her chest, rubbing it in small circles. "Yes, in the last war, not too long ago. Actually about two months or so just before you arrived at the castle." A small sparkling tear rolled down her cheek, and she rubbed her chest even harder then before. "Why does hurt my heart so much when I see your pain? It is like I can feel your pain inside myself." Dominique looked at her with realization. " I thought I was just imagining it, but you actually feel it to. The mate bond, that is the only reason that you will be able to feel my pain. But I just don't know how you can feel it so strongly without...." 

"Without what?" Celine could feel the pain subsiding and a new feeling filling her heart. What is the feeling? "It is the mate bond, love. You feel what he feels." The voice in her head sounded proud and happy. "If you are not a werewolf, but you are mated to one, which is very rare, very very rare, you can only feel the mate bond as a strong attraction. Only once you have been marked and mated with your mate, will you feel the true strength of the mate bond." Dominique looked intrigued and confused all at the same time. "So I am not sure who could feel it so strongly, maybe because your a supernatural like me, well kind of like me. Maybe angels can feel it because well, because you're angels." He was deep in thought when the waitress brought their meals and placed it in front of them, and looking at Dominique just a little bit too long for Celine's liking. She felt jealous and thanks the girl before giving her a disapproving look. "Jealous much?!" The waitress snickered at her. Dominique looked up and in a very domineering manner, dripping with authority said "What did you just say? Don't ever speak to her like that again!" The waitress immediately bowed her head and answered "Yes Alpha, I am sorry Alpha." With that she walked away. 

Celine turned to him, "ALPHA? You're an alpha?" He looked at her, smiled and said, " I am THEE Alpha. The reason why my home is a castle is because I am the last Alpha King. King of all the werewolves." She was so shocked that she forgot to breath. "Breath Celine, it's ok. The only reason I am telling you this, is because I already know what I needed to know before you knew who or what I am." He took her hand in his and rubbed little circles with his thumb on the back of her hand. "I need to see if I can contact the Moon Goddess, I don't know if she will be able to hear me now that I don't have my wings anymore." She looked her food and her stomach growled loudly making her laugh. "Why do you need to contact her? How do you contact her? O right, (chuckling) you knew her from when you were in heaven. Wow, I can't believe I have met an actual angel. And that I am having lunch with her as if it is the most normal thing on earth ever." Celine smile at him and felt the new feeling in her heart grow even stronger. "I like spending time with you, and your wolf. He is so warm, and big and fluffy and I feel very safe with both of you." She squeezed his hand and pulled it away to start eating.

After lunch....

"Can I take you shopping? I know you don't have much, and I did promise to take care of you." She looked at him, and felt a bit uneasy. I don't have any money. I can't just accept his, it doesn't feel right. "That is what mates do stupid. Don't say no, it will hurt his feelings." The voice in her head has been talking to her a lot more lately. But what is a MATE? Is it like a one true match for angels? "Yes, it is. Now shut it and say thank you." Wow the voice in her head is really pushy today. "Immm, I don't normally do this, but only because I don't have anything, and only if I can pay you back from the salary I will be earning and also to pay for my stay at the castle." She looked to determined for Dominique to want to tell her that she does not need to pay for her stay or pay him back, so he just smiled and took her hand while walking in the direction of the shop he had in mind. 

"Can I ask you something?" She asked as they walked from the first shop to the next one. "Sure, you can ask me anything." His reply made her smile, because she just somehow knew he meant it. "What is like to meet your one true match? Immm, sorry, mate?" She sounded so unsure and sad when she spoke. "Well, I am sure it is different for all species. For werewolves, well, you can smell their scent, and you can feel their presence, you know it for sure when you see them. From that moment onwards, you will do anything for your mate, even give your own life to save theirs." Celine knew that something in what he said, hurt him, as he knows what that feels like. "And what about you angels? What is it like for your kind?" He felt a sharp pain in his heart and immediately regretted asking her that. But before he could say anything, she answered him. "Well, I don't know, but from what I have heard and seen in Heaven, it pretty much sounds the same as what you described, minus the smell. Sometimes, some angels fall for other angels, because they have never met their true match and end up falling for someone that hasn't met theirs either, or maybe lost they're match." She wondered if that is what would have happened to her eventually if she had still been in Heaven.

"Can I ask you something?" Dominique stopped and turned to face her so that he can look into her eyes when she answered him. "What do you feel when you see me or when you are with me? Apart from feeling safe." She looked him straight in the eye..... "I feel like.... I don't know.... It is a feeling that I have never felt before. It feel good and makes me feel like I would anything for you, and your wolf. It warms from the inside out. I feel proud and sometimes like earlier at the restaurant, I feel jealous. I have never felt like this before. So I don't know how to describe it, but I feel like I am meant to be with you, like I was supposed to have met you. Like...... like..... Like my..... O MY....." She looked stunned...."Celine are you ok? Like your what?" He was patient, he knew it was going to hit her hard, but he never expected it to hit her this hard. "Like you are my ONE TRUE MATCH." She looked down at her hands that were shaking and back up into his eyes again. "Is this what it feels like? What do you call this feeling that I am feeling my heart right now?" She blushed blood red and tried to keep her hands from shaking. "Hey, it's ok. To answer your first question, yes this is what it feels like. The second answer is, well, it is called love." He set the bags down that he was holding and took her hands in his.

"Has no one in Heaven ever shown you any form of love before?" She felt hurt, but not because of what he asked her, because she thought that no one in heaven loved her. Dominique pulled her close to him and held her tight. "I will show you what love is, and I promised that you will always feel it. I just hope it will be enough to heal your broken heart." She hugged him back and asked if they could rather go home. "If it's ok with you, I would like to sit at the pond if you don't mind." She looked down and hope that he would not be upset with her. "Sure, do you want sit there on your own, or would you like my wolf or me to join you?"  He let go of her hands and picked her shopping bags. She linked her arm with his, and smile a small smile. "Wish you could both be there at the same time." Dominique whipped his head around and looked at her as if she just said the strangest thing on earth. "Actually...... we can Mi Amor" Celine looked at him, as she realized his voice was deeper and he spoke with an accent. "Don't fret Mi Amor, je ne te ferai jamais de mal. I will never hurt you, I promise." She smile at the realization. "Your Dominique's wolf, aren't you?" 

"Aahh, oui Amor, I am. You are very clever Kitten, I am glad that I did not scare you." He put all the bags in one hand and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer too him. "No, you did not scare me, you just made my wish come true. But where is Dominique?" Looking at him, she could the wolf eye color in Dominique's eyes. She could also feel that he was a lot stronger then Dominique, and more protective. But then again, his a wolf. "He is where I normally am when he is in human form, in the back of the mind. When he is in wolf form, I am in charge and I take over. Unless he needs to be in charge, then I will let him take over." Celine just nodded and wondered if she should ask him about everything she told him at the pond, if Dominique could hear it and if that is why he did not react weird or why he was not shocked when she told him that is an angel from heaven. "Yes Kitten, he could hear every word that you said. Just like I hear every word you say when speak to him. We are one, me and him. We cannot survive without each other." Shocked she formed an O with her lips and felt her cheeks heat up.

"Did you just read my mind? I didn't know that werewolves could do that." He laughed at that thought, "No Mi Amor, we cannot read minds, we are not witches or warlocks. We can however hear the thoughts of our mates, and feel everything that they feel, even physical pain. Once you are marked and mated, you will be able to hear our thoughts and feel everything we do." He could feel her tense up and quickly added, "That is if you want to. Only of you want to." When he added the last part, she could feel the heart break and put her arm around his waist. "Let me just get use to you both and get to know you both first, huh, then we how things go rom there....Ok?" She rubbed her hand up and down his side, hoping it makes him feel better.

Later at the pond....

Celine sat with her feet in the pond, nd her head Dominique's lap. He ran his hands through her hair when Drake came running up to them from the tree line. "Dominique, we need to her home, now, it's not safe here for her." Celine jumped up and look right a pair of red eyes peering out at her from behind a big tree. "What is that?" She pointed it the direct of where she sees they red eyes, but suddenly feels like she needs to protect everyone there. She moved into a fighting stance, and remembered her training with Michael. As she moved towards a nearby tree, the red eyes moved with her. From behind her she hear the crushing sound of bones breaking, then she felt the wet warm feel a large snout poking at her arm. She looked up to see Dominique is full wolf form. She felt so proud to know she knew he would be there by her side. The red eyes move closer into the sun. It was a big brown wolf, well, not as big as Dominique, but big. From the corner of her eye, she saw a large grey wolf coming to stand next to Dominique, she knew it must be Drake. The brown wolf lunged at her snapping it's jaws open and shut three times. She jumped, kicked a small branch from the tree and turned the sharp broken end towards the wolf. Before she could do anything, the wolf was pinned to the ground, yelping loudly.

"Dominique shifted back into his human form, walked over to Celine and held her tight to him, while breathing in her scent with his face in the fold of her neck and shoulder. He was stark naked but she didn't care, she just hugged him back urging him to calm down and just breath. Dominique then turned around and looked at the wolf with disgust. "Go back to your 'Rouge Alpha' and tell him to stay off my land. Unless he wants to end up in a grave." His words dripped with anger and all Celine could do was just look at her hands. Right then, she saw blood on her one hand, she looked up and saw a bite mark on Dominique's shoulder. "Your hurt," she whispers to him when he hugged her again. "Let me help you, please." She sat down next him by the pond, put her hand over the wound, and prayed that she could still use her abilities. As she concentrated, a bright warm light started glowing out from under her hands. a few seconds later, the wound was healed, no marks left, as if it never happened. "How did you do that?" Drake asked from behind them. "Dominique looked up at him and simple deadpanned, "Angel". 

"Drake, I think we need to get him back to the castle, he needs new clothes." Celine said as she stood up. "Thank you for coming to warm us, and for standing by him when the other wolf attacked." She smiled and Drake could nothing but just look at her mouth hanging open and eyes round saucers. "What? Is there something on me, O please don't tell me it's a spider!!!!" She started checking herself when Drake finally spoke. "Your glowing, how in the hell are  you glowing?" Dominique looked at her and smiled, "That's my girl, showing the world what beauty truly looks like. A soft glow in the bright sun while she thinks she has a spider on her." At that Celine laughed and then "Wait what? I am glowing?" Just then, she collapsed to the ground and hit her head on a small rock. "We need to get her home, put her on back." Dominique shifted into his wolf again, while Drake carefully picked her up and put her on the wolf's back. "We need to talk when you get her home. What is this 'My Girl' thing and how is she not freaked out by us being werewolves? Is she one herself or what is she? Why in the hell did she glow like that?" Drake just shook his head, shifted and ran back to the castle with Dominique, while making sure Celine doesn't fall off his back.

"So, now do you understand why she glowed? We need to keep her safe, as good as a warrior as she is, we need to protect her. The rouge saw her, no doubt he will let his alpha know that I have a new mate. After what he did to Kate in that last battle, I am not willing to risk Celine's life." Dominique sat at his desk in his office talking to Drake. "So, she is your second chance mate? Wow, that's awesome man. Who would have thought that angels really exist. I mean we always about them but never see them. So to have one living here with us and being mated to you. That is just out of this world." Drake felt more at ease about Celine now, knowing that she herself is a supernatural being. "Dominique could see he oldest and best friend felt proud to know his new Luna was so special, and that his best warrior had brought her to castle. "We need to speak to Roman, we need to let him know that he did a really great job bring her here." Drake knew that Roman deserved a big thank you for the great job he did. He just hoped that Dominique thinks so too, because it's true.
