LOGINCeline's POVJust when I thought it was all over, yet nothing seemed to be over. Kade was still unconscious with not a single sign of recovering and the Matriarch was here again, her eyes blazing with fury like I was the cause of all her problems.Well, technically it was my fault. Because if Kade hadn't gone to get the cure for me, he would not be in such a state. That thought had been sitting on my chest since the moment I walked back through that door and I had not been able to shake it."The nerve of you. I asked you to leave this pack house and never return, yet you dare to step your feet back in here again?"This was certainly not a question because before I could even open my mouth to speak, she raised her hand and landed a very hard slap across my face."What! Sister! What are you doing!" Simon widened his eyes in shock, but I clasped my hand to my cheek, trying to soothe the burning that spread across my face instantly."Don't you dare speak to me, Simon, because all of this
Celine's POVI felt my heart jump out of my chest as soon as I heard the sound of the Matriarch walking toward my room."Luna! What are we going to do? It is going to be very difficult to stop her from coming in.""I know. But we just have to find a way for you to stall her while I leave.""Stall? But there are other doors you can sneak through." She expressed, and as she stared at me, no doubt that my expression gave away what I had in mind.Her lips widened into a smile at the realization that whatever I had in mind was going to work. She didn't wait for me to say anything else as she dashed out of there."Matriarch!" I heard her call out and the Matriarch came to a halt."Where is that brat? Has she returned to this pack house? She must really have a lot of nerves to walk back here.""She just went to the kitchen right now. I think she must be very hungry which was why she returned.""I was told she was in there. Step out of the way!" The Matriarch yelled at the top of her voice wi
Celine's POVIt didn't take long and Anna had returned with all of the items that I asked her to get. She was panting heavily, no doubt that she had run a long mile."What is all of this?" Rowan, who had been standing there, seemed confused."I want to prepare the potion and would appreciate it if you can excuse us." The expression on his face grew even thicker with confusion. He turned to me and then to Anna, like he was expecting one of us to explain something to him, and then he asked."Why do I need to excuse you when I should be supervising every single item you use in making this? That way…..""That is exactly the reason you need to leave. You are going to keep pestering me with a series of questions and right now I don't even know what I am doing. I don't need anyone adding to that with more pressure.""I get it. I will give you some privacy. What about her?""She needs to stay and help me." I told him and I could see the brief smile that flickered on Anna's face when she heard
Celine's POVI leaped inside, hurrying as fast as my wounded leg could carry me while praying that I would not run into the Matriarch. I was hungry, wounded and exhausted, and the last person I wanted to deal with right now was her."Luna!" Someone called out to me and as my gaze landed on Anna, I was so stunned. I recalled that I had left her there with the plan of Kade sending his men to free her, since he was the only one that could handle a man like Hillary."How are you here?" I asked, not bothering about everyone else standing around watching, and I wrapped my arms tightly around her while breathing with relief."Luna, you are not supposed to hug me. You are the Luna and I am just a….""I don't care." I whispered to her and her shoulder seemed like the perfect fit to cry on. Tears rolled down my cheek, which made me wonder how I had been able to hold it all together this long.The pain, the fear, the tension. All of it."Why are you crying, Luna? Are you hurt?""No….. I am just
Celine's POVI woke up to a very sharp pain in my head. I clutched it tightly, trying to steady my breathing, and slowly began feeling the pain from my leg which made it feel almost numb. The two pains were competing with each other and neither of them was losing.Even as I forced myself up, I slowly started taking in my environment and everywhere felt strange. The place was dark and smelled very damp, and there was a small light at the other end which felt like the opening of a tunnel."How are you feeling?" A voice spoke up and it made me startle as I jerked to my feet, turning around in the dark. My eyes were slowly adjusting to the light as I realized that it was Rowan who had spoken. He was sitting not far from me, completely still, like he had been there watching over the place for a while."Rowan, where are we?" I asked, turning around in search of the Book of Shadows."Are you looking for this?" He raised the book out toward me with a knowing look on his face. "You know, I hav
Celine's POVTwenty men flanked out from inside the woods and surrounded us. But Rowan didn't look worried at all. Rather, his gaze met mine immediately, cutting straight through everything else happening around us."Luna. Are you alright?" That was the first time Rowan had ever asked me that. Given how much he had always despised me, I never thought that a day would come when those words would leave his mouth directed at me."I am bleeding and the wound is not healing." I told him, standing behind him as my chest kept rising and falling rapidly. The pain was making it difficult to think clearly but I forced myself to stay focused."Let her go right now and I might be kind enough to let you live." Rowan said it without even the slightest shift in his expression. Hillary had a smug look on his face like he had everything completely under control, yet Rowan didn't flinch. He had been doing this all his life.I remained calm. Even at this moment when something deep inside of me kept scre
Celine's povI was fuming so much with rage, I badly wanted to make them pay, pay for all the pain they ever caused me, my chest kept rising and falling rapidly.But it wasn't possible for me now and now I was regarded as cursed, my chance of getting Kade by my side was very slim.“Celine?” Kade ca
Celine's pov:As Damien and I sat at the same table, Damien kept pecking glances at me, but his eyes were cold and filled with questions, yet I didn't care about any of it. My eyes kept flickering around, searching for Kade, but he was nowhere to be found. “Here, have some drinks?” I had been too
Celine's povThe rest of the day went very smoothly, I barely had one square meal which was practically nothing because father had given me the sketches to keep myself busy. “This is your own way of helping the pack that fed and clothed you for years even though you were nothing”He would always s
Kade's pov It did not take long and our backup car came through. Once I arrived back at the pack house, I did not hesitate to hurry to my room where I took a warm bath. I shut my eyes and rested in the bathtub, but my thoughts remained on Celine, too much fear in her eyes when I found her in the
