登入Celine's POVKade hesitated for a while, like he was choosing the best words to use to explain the situation."They become the Alpha King." He spoke very slowly, his expression remaining cold. "But they take half of my territories, which is why I can't lose. So you have nothing to worry about.""How can you be so sure about that?""This festival has been held for the past twelve years. I have been the Alpha King since then and yet none of them could take it away from me. And now that I have you, I have something worth fighting for. I will protect my position."My heart skipped a beat at his words and I felt this unusual warmth spread through my chest. I knew this was not something I should be feeling so I lowered my head."Celine," he called and as I lifted my head, he had become serious again. "On the second day of the festival, Hunting games will be held. And the first will be between every Luna.""Okay. Will I lose my position if I lose?" I was almost scared when I asked but he bur
Celine's POVWatching Kade leave the room like that made me feel a pang of pain and guilt in my heart. We were having a good time but I had ruined it just like that.After a lot of thought, I decided to tell him about it.After I had healed Kade, I had gone through the book extensively and found out that since he bears the mark of the crescent moon and I am also a crescent wolf, the both of us can never be mated, else it would cause havoc.Although the book didn't state the kind of havoc it would cause. But the warning was clear. Written separately in bold italic ink. That way, there was no way anyone that came across the book would miss it.But there was also fear in my heart. If he decided to divorce me because of this, knowing I couldn't grant him the heir that he desired, then I would have nowhere to go. No pack. No family. Nothing to return to.But thinking about it right now, my thoughts kept drifting to who my real parents must have been. In the past, I never thought about it.
Kade's POVI slid out of the bed, but Celine immediately grabbed my arm. "Where are you going?" She asked with a hint of remorse in her eyes like she had just said something wrong."You just said it yourself that I can't be with you.""No, that is not what I said. You can't mark me. It doesn't mean we can't be together.""You are my Luna, Celine. I can see it in your eyes that something is seriously going on with you and if only you can share it with me, tell me what the problem is, I know we would be able to deal with it together.""My blood is bad. You can't mark me. But it doesn't mean that I don't want to be with you. It doesn't mean that I don't want you.""You told me you healed me with your blood. Why are you saying it is lethal right now?" I asked. She bit her lower lip, looking away like she was searching for the right words but nothing was coming out."Listen Celine, I understand that there are things about yourself that you are not ready to share with me right now. But plea
Kade's POVAt night, I had tried to tuck Celine to sleep by myself, yet she had refused to close her eyes. She kept staring at me like I was a stranger that she was seeing for the first time."Why are you doing this?""Doing what?" I asked while tucking the blanket closer to her chest."Why are you suddenly being so kind. Please don't tell me it's because I saved your life, because you did even more for me by going into that garden.""No. I just realized how special you are to me, how important you are and the fact that I don't ever want to be away from you."I pulled closer and placed a kiss on her forehead. She didn't refuse, staring calmly at me."And now, I am thinking maybe we should fully hold a ceremony to make you Luna.""What if I decide I want a divorce later?""I won't allow it.""Why?""We both know how we feel for each other. How about we finally stop pretending.""Pretending. You think that I love you or have some sort of feelings for you?""Don't you?" I asked and pulle
Author's POVAs John returned to his quarters, Sarah was in the sitting room. Her eyes flickered with surprise as she watched him enter.She immediately rose to her feet and rushed to his side, but John didn't seem to care about her presence at all. He walked right past her and went straight to the bathroom without a single word.Once he was done washing up, he stood at the dresser, his body already dried out as his hands moved along the rack searching for something to wear. He knew exactly when Sarah came in again, yet he didn't turn around to acknowledge her presence. Not even a glance."Welcome back." She finally muttered, knowing fully well that the silence was starting to suffocate her. She had been rehearsing what to say the entire time he was locked up and now that he was standing right in front of her, not a single one of those words felt like enough."I made your favorite. Come to the table." She lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers as she spoke.As soon as his eyes la
Author's POVAfter Sarah left the room, it did not take long before the doctor came in. He administered treatment while Aiden remained silent all through the process, staring at the ceiling with hollow eyes, his mind somewhere far from the sterile room and the quiet sounds of medical equipment.All through the night, Aiden could barely get even a wink of sleep. He knew he was a target for Kade now, and if Kade decided to come for him, there was no way he would be able to compete against him. Not in this state. Not with one arm gone and thousands of his men buried in foreign soil.Now he was living at the mercy of Kade and had no idea when he would choose to attack. That uncertainty gnawed at him more than the pain did. A man could prepare for a known enemy. But waiting in the dark, not knowing when the blow would come, that was a different kind of suffering entirely. He lay in bed staring at the wall long after midnight, listening to the silence of the pack house and finding no comfo
Celine's povI knew that if I continued to run, I would be wasting my time because there was no way that I would be able to outrun him.And hearing the fact that he had sent for more backup, that would only mean that they would take me away to do to me whatever it was they had in mind.I had died o
Celine's pov Once I was away from Alpha Kade's pack house, I let out a long breath. Even in my previous life, I had stories about his pack house; it was so scary that no girl ever wanted to mingle with him. But staring at it now. It didn't seem that scary; maybe the rumors aren't true, but there
Kade's pov I have lived for thirty years with this curse. But never met anyone who made me feel so vulnerable, it felt like she was staring directly into my heart and could see things that others couldn't.Yet I could clearly see the pain in her eyes, she was like someone who had been broken over
Celine's povThe room fell silent after I spoke.
