Celest POV

I had never felt so helpless before.

I was in the same room with this man everyone dreaded. I was in his domain and although he had promised not to hurt me if I stayed put, the fear didn't leave.

Eventually, I had no choice but to face the reality of my situation. My brother’s life was at stake, and I was willing to do anything to ensure his survival.

I had dropped my pride moments earlier when I begged him to save my brother's life. So, I just sat bare on the floor staring at him, his back to me as he stared outside the window. His golden eyes reflected in the glass, making me wonder what he was looking at.

“I’ll do whatever you want,” I whispered, my voice barely above a breath. “Just protect my brother.”

His head tilted slightly, and for a moment, there was only silence. Then, he turned and fixed his eyes on me.

“Anything?” he mused, stepping toward me slowly, but deliberate to scare me.

I held my ground, even as my knees threatened to give out. “Yes.”

    Celest’s POV It was today. The day of the investor's meeting. My phone rang before I stepped out my door. I picked up quickly. “I’m so sorry, Celeste, but something’s come up. You’ll have to attend the sign-off meeting in my place.”Jemima’s voice rang out through the speaker, slightly distorted by static. I stared at my phone, processing her words with a small frown tugging at the corner of my lips.“You’re ditching me?” I teased, though I already sensed she wouldn’t have canceled if it weren’t important.“I wouldn’t call it that,” she groaned dramatically. “Let’s just say I have a business emergency that requires my full presence. But don’t worry, everything is ready. All you have to do is take Jordan with you and seal the deal.”I exhaled slowly and rubbed the back of my neck. “Where is it again?”“Lucent Lounge. You know the place—it’s that ultra-private venue tucked inside the Obsidian Tower.”I froze. Lucent Lounge?The name of the place was oddly familiar, like I've heard it

    Celest’s POV The world reacted to my song like a lit match to dry paper.The moment Ashes in the Snow hit the top of the charts, it was as if something invisible shifted in the atmosphere. Fans flooded the forums and streaming platforms. Dozens of reaction videos were posted within hours. Comments poured in from every corner of both the human and supernatural world—words like "haunting," "transcendent," "soulbreaking."And though they didn’t know the name behind it, I knew they were feeling every emotion I poured into that melody. My voice had found them, even in anonymity.The song told a tale that had lived in my bones for months now: of two souls pulled apart by bloodlines and betrayal, yet still hopelessly tethered. Of being told you don't belong—and loving someone so deeply that you’d risk everything for one more second in their arms.I meant every lyric. Every note.“Love, in itself, is not bound by anything—it is simply love.”That line became a rallying cry. I saw it quoted o

    Magnus POV The morning haze hadn’t lifted yet when I returned from patrol. I could feel the air was unclear, reflecting how the land itself still resented the unrest among the Pack. I walked through the central villa’s courtyard, flanked by stone statues of our ancestors—they were judging me. I didn't care. My mind was far from Pack politics, though. It wandered, as it often did, to her. Celeste.Where was she now? Was she safe? Was she thinking of me the way I thought of her every damn minute of the day?The sharp click of high heels on marble broke my trance.“Magnus!”I stopped, getting annoyed already before I even turned. I’d know that voice anywhere. Lily.She approached in a form-fitting ivory suit, hair perfectly styled, red lips curled into an eager smile that screamed self-interest more than affection. She looked polished, poised—and irritatingly pleased with herself.“Good morning my Alpha,” she chirped, as though her daily intrusions were normal. “Busy day ahead?”I narr

    Magnus POVI stood at the edge of the balcony, the cold breeze sweeping across my face while I stared at my vast lands. The search for Celeste had become an obsession I couldn't shake, no matter how hard I tried.It wasn’t just the physical distance that separated me from Celeste anymore; it was the constant tension within my Pack. The Lycans were beginning to question my every move, my every decision, and it wasn’t long before the whispers of dissent reached my ears.“Why are we wasting so many resources on a half-blood woman?” one of the elder council members had asked during the last meeting, his voice dripping with disdain. “This isn’t just about her, it’s about the integrity of the Pack. We can’t allow this—this quest of yours to cloud our judgment.”The words stung, but not as deeply as I thought they might. For years, I had believed in the supremacy of pure-bloods had scorned the hybrids, the ones like Celeste—caught between two worlds, never fully accepted by either. But every

  • Lycan King's Hybrid Captive   Chapter 61

    Celest’s POV The dim lights of the private lounge masked my reaction at his words. I found his demands dismissive, like he wanted me to blow up and burst. He wouldn't have his way this time. I was determined to prove that I wasn’t just some half-blood outsider. He’d challenged me, albeit in the most condescending way possible, but a challenge was a challenge.I wouldn’t back down. I couldn’t.“So, you want me to write you a song that inspires you?” I muttered more to myself than anyone else, my fingers tapping nervously on the rim of my glass. “Easy enough.”Jordan’s figure was already retreating toward the door, but his voice echoed back to me. “I’ll be waiting, if you can do better than everyone else.”I hated the way he phrased it—like it was just another meaningless request in a long line of people who didn’t understand him. But there was something behind that cold façade, something that made my stomach churn with both frustration and intrigue. His aloofness wasn’t the full story

    Celest’s POV The sharp scent of whiskey lingered in the air, mixing with the low hum of music vibrating through the dimly lit bar. I wrapped my fingers tightly around the glass Pierce had handed me earlier, but I hadn’t touched the drink. My mind was too restless, my heart too heavy.Pierce studied me across the small table, his expression painted with patience and concern side by side. He was relaxed, leaning back in his seat, but I could tell he was watching me closely, waiting for me to speak.I set the glass down, pushing it away slightly. "I came here tonight… because I was looking for someone," I finally said, my voice barely carrying over the muted sounds around us.Pierce raised an eyebrow. "Someone specific?"I nodded, feeling the weight of my decision to trust him. "His name is Jordan."The name seemed to strike a chord in him. He sat up straighter, his casual demeanor sharpening in an instant. "Jordan?"I searched his face, desperate for some reaction that would tell me I

    Celest’s POV I sat at the bar, stirring my drink absentmindedly. The noise around me faded into the background, my focus fixed on a lone figure at the far end of the bar. He had moved in the same way I remembered—that stride, that confidence—there was no mistaking it.I squinted, my heart racing. "That was... Pierce? He's still alive?"I couldn't believe it. I had watched the explosion, felt the shock of it rock through my chest, but it seemed like the universe had other plans. I hadn't seen him since that night, and now here he was, standing in front of me like nothing had happened. My mind raced, trying to reconcile the image of him with the chaos that had followed the blast.I glanced over at the bartender, leaning slightly across the counter. "That man," I began cautiously, pointing towards Pierce, who was now talking to someone at the far end of the bar. "Does he work here?"The bartender stiffened, his eyes shifting nervously. For a brief moment, I saw the faintest hint of fear

    Celest’s POV I was already up a few minutes past 7. By 9am, I was already walking side by side with Jemima through the company's hallways. I was taking in everything around me: the walls adorned with glossy posters of past clients, all of whom had gone on to massive success. Each of them looked so polished, so perfect, that it made me wonder how someone like me could ever belong in a place like this."You'll get used to it," Jemima said, glancing at me as she led the way. Her steps were sure, confident, like she had been walking these halls for years. Of course she has. "Just try to keep your head down and not get overwhelmed. There’s a lot of pressure around here, but you’re a natural at handling pressure, aren’t you?"I forced a smile, trying to push my own uncertainty to the back of my mind. "I’ll manage," I said, though my voice didn’t quite carry the same level of assurance I was hoping for.Jemima opened a door at the end of the hall, revealing a spacious office with a sleek, m

  • Lycan King's Hybrid Captive   Chapter 57

    Celest’s POV I sat in the dimly lit room, lost in thoughts. I couldn’t stop thinking about my brother, wondering why he hadn’t come to find me after waking up. It didn’t make sense. He would never leave me in the dark like this, especially not after everything we had been through.“Jemima,” I whispered, more to myself than to her.She was sitting across from me, her arms crossed in front of her. She had been quiet for a while, letting me process everything that had happened. But now, it felt like I needed answers, and I wasn’t sure where to turn.Jemima broke the silence. “You need to stop blaming yourself for everything. Your brother’s a strong guy. He knows how to find you.”I shook my head. “It’s not like him. If he truly woke up, he would have come to me. He wouldn’t just disappear.” My voice cracked as the knot in my throat tightened.Jemima’s expression softened as she leaned forward. “I know you’re worried, but you need to trust that he’s okay. He’s probably just… figuring thi
