Celeste’s POV“Celeste? We need to talk.” My mother, Anika, said taking a seat right beside me. We rarely talked nowadays, yet we maintained the close mother-daughter bond we had since the beginning. I sent a text to one of my friends before turning to face her. “Yeah, what’s up?” I asked. Meeting her ocean-blue eyes, I couldn’t help but notice a tinge of emotion rooted deep in them. That’s when I knew that something was up. “Mom, are you okay?” I tossed my phone down on the couch, shifting closer to her. She nodded, clearing her throat, “Goodness me. I’m getting a little emotional here, don’t mind your little old lady.” She giggled, trying to wear down the emotion of the moment. “Well…” I leaned forward, “Tell me, what’s the tea?”Mom took a shaky breath, bobbing her leg up and down as she gave a small smile. This meant good news.But, the words that left her mouth next were more shocking than anything. “I’ve been seeing someone for a while, and….” she held her breath, “He prop
Celeste’s POV“I-” “Meet Cassian and Lucien; your step-brothers,” Theo said, introducing us to one another. Oh, but I knew them. I knew them all too well. This was like a disaster waiting to happen. I couldn’t help but tighten my grip on the backpack as I stared at both men. “Cassian, Lucien. Meet Celeste, your step-sister.” Step-sister. The word sent an unnerving chill down my spine.Both brothers stood tall, towering over me as I looked up at them. They were handsome, no doubt with their perfectly styled hair and muscular bodies. Cassian’s blue eyes pierced mine as he gave a small, knowing smirk. While Lucien was almost unfazed. I couldn’t quite put a finger on what exactly it was, but his aura was much more different from Cassian’s.“Nice to meet you, sis.” He grinned, extending a hand. I had to just play it cool right now. This wasn’t the time for any funny business. Just play it cool, Celeste.I forced my grip on the backpack strap loose as I took his into mine, returning t
"Looks like you’re having fun without me?” Cassian frowned, a plate in his hand as he stared down at me. Mind you, my hand was still down my pants, and my shirt had been drawn so high up that he’d probably seen my boobs. I yelped, grabbing my blanket and quickly pulling it over myself. “Get out. Now!” I grit my teeth, grabbing onto the duvet so tight that my knuckles almost went white. “Oh, come on now. Don’t be like that, Celeste. Loosen up,” He smirked, “Have a little fun.” My face heated up as a pale blush spread over my features. Still, I wouldn’t let him get to me like this, “What are you even doing up here—in my room?” I spat, adjusting my clothes, my chest heaving. “Dad said I should bring up some cookies and milk. Seems you already got your dessert going on.” He not-so-subtly remarked, with a smug grin. “Oh my God. Just drop the plates and get out!” I screeched, covering my face with shame. And for the first time in a long time, Cassian listened to me. He silently obeyed
Celeste's POV.Was I going to let him take over me the same way he did twenty-four hours ago?I knew where this would end if I let him, so I put my hands before me to create some distance between the both of us and retreated. I ended up knocking over a bucket of water, but that was the least of my worries."Look what you did, avoiding the inevitable,” he teased."Stop." It took every fiber of resistance in me to mutter that single word. "I don't give a shit what you think about who I think I dance with, and you have no right to tell me whether or not to dance with him.""Are you sure? Cause your body is telling me otherwise,” he said with a smirk on his face as his eyes rested on my hardened nipples. "Your body is yearning to be controlled, and we both know that half man can't do the shit that I do to you."If there was anything that I concluded, it was that Cassian's ears were just aesthetics. There was no other logical explanation to how my warnings went over his head."I don't need
Celeste's POV.I can't believe I allowed him to have his way with me again.It took me more time than expected to regulate my breathing and calm my heartbeat. I finally got out of the Janitor's room and tried to find the nearest exit without being noticed, but Freya was too quick to find me."Celeste! Over here! Look up!", She waved her hands from a distance and I had no chicken but to wait for her."I've been looking around for you. What happened? I just saw you come out of the Janitor's room that your step brother came out from..."Stepbrother...That was probably the Moon Goddess spraying a salt of guilt on me by remembering who exactly I just that ungodly escapade with."... And why's your hair all scattered and strayed?"At first, I felt amused by the fact that she asked many questions bluntly, but right now, I hate it."Can we just go home, please? I'll tell my driver to drop you off at your place before taking me home.""Okay fine, but someone's here to see us off."I looked u
CELESTE'S POV.I popped my eyes open in fear.Who the hell was that?The room was too dark for me to see clearly, but I could've sworn that someone just walked into my room.I was still in a laying position when the stranger stopped by my bed.I tried to get up from the bed, but it felt like some force was keeping me down. I didn't know what it was, but it felt like some invisible being was on top of me.I began sweating profusely in the well air-conditioned room.What the fuck was going on?And who the fuck was this person?!Even though I was unable to move a muscle, I was wide awake, so I could see everything that was happening.I saw the stranger lean in and I immediately pick on his scent.Now I knew I was fucked."Seems you don't listen, my love", he whispered into my ear, I felt my insides begin to melt into nothing."C... Cassian... Wh... What are you doing here? What are you doing to me?" I quivered."You wouldn't be having this experience if you just listened to me when I tol
Celeste's POV.I tried to speak, but I couldn't find my voice.His grey metallic eyes rested on mine, and it felt like I was in a trance.He took another step and he raised his hands. The closer his hands came to me, the more I yearned for his touch.I suddenly saw his hands go over me and he reached for something above me. He finally came back with a bottle of seasoning in his hands. "Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?", He questioned as his casually walked away.Was he kidding me?How the fuck would he do all of that without even touching me?I was frustrated at this point.It felt like I was about to run mad."Why are you doing this?", I suddenly blurted."Doing what?""Messing with my head like it's a fucking toy."He chuckled and began slicing a bulb of onions. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Do you do this to every girl to meet?""Could you help me turn that broth before it begins to burn? Thank you."I was pissed and frustrated, but the way he sounded so domi
WARNING ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT SCENES AND VULGAR WORDS. RATED 18!Celeste's POV.He took me to the living room and laid me on one of the sofas."Did I tell you that you have the sexiest body that was ever created?" He whispered in my ear.I'd never heard anyone say that to me in my life, and immediately his words sifted through my ears, I felt my pussy drip with lustful fluid.He began sucking on my nipples and by the time he was satisfied, they had marks of his teeth around them.Without warning, I felt his massive length slide into my pussy and I gasped, taking some time to readjust myself so he wouldn't hit my cervix badly.Slowly, he began going back and forth, his meat dragging every nerve ending in my vagina with its every movement."Lucian... Fuckkk...", I cooed and curled with each stroke he made.He began to pick up the pace, and he was pounding my pussy mercilessly, leaving me to drown in both pain and pleasure.As he kept drilling me, he kept his gaze on m
Cassian's POV.The whole room went silent immediately he made that stupid move."Answer my fucking question!! Do you think he's going to save you?!! You killed our boss, and you're calling the so-called prince to come to your aid, acting like I don't exist?!! Are you mad?!!", He boiled with rage, his veins threatening to burst out through his veins as he yelled.I stood there, contemplating my next move. I could feel my fingers twitching, and I did nothing to stop the trigger. My throat began patched immediately, and water wasn't going to quench this sudden thirst in me.Surely, this bastard did not just lay his hands on Celeste.My Celeste...He told me he was going to ask a few questions. Now there was a change of plans?By the time Celeste raised her head from the attack, the right side of her face was red and swollen. I could see tears of pain flow down her eyes as she fixated her pleading gaze on me."Cassian, your opinions matter the most to me. Do you think I did it? Do you-"T
Cassian's POV"What's the update? Are they alive?"I heard Lucian heave a sigh to make me expect the worse case scenario."Father is still alive. He's barely surviving, however. The doctors are doing their best to take the poison out of his system, but they're having a hard time doing that without unsettling his already fragile system. They're making progress though. Last I checked, he was out of the woods."I didn't like my father much, but the thought of him dying such a tragic death scared the fuck out of me. So the information he relayed to me was a doze of relief."And how about Shantel's father?"The silence that over the phone made me unsettled."Lucian. I need an answer.""He died an hour ago."And just like that, the sense of relief I had was snatched from me. How the hell was I going to relate this news to Shantel?How tattered was the reputation of Silvermist pack that a man as influential as Perseus came to have breakfast, and he ended up dying from poison?"Make sure tha
Celeste's POV.The whole room went pindrop silent and eyes began searching where that absurd allegations came from.I swerved to follow the eyes of everyone and I couldn't help but step back at the shocking sight of Shantel coming out of the kitchen - scarred and sliced at different places on her body.My wolf immediately sensed something wasn't good. I didn't know what the hell she was up to, but it wasn't good."What did you just say?""It's Celeste!", She cried even louder with tears of pain flowing down her eyes. "She was the one who did this to our fathers!"I was too astonished to even speak for myself.Cassian sized her up for a very brief moment before turning to one of his trusted men. "Call another ambulance and ask them to come with a therapist. While you're at that, bring in the spiritual-""Cassian!!", Shantel yelled in rage and frustration. "So you don't believe me?!! You think I'm crazy?!! Your so-called loving stepsister was the perpetrator of this murder attempt!! She
Celeste's POV.I could feel my breath begin to shorten, and I was more terrorized at how unfazed Shantel was, with the sudden chaos that was happening behind that door."Wh... What did you do Shantel?""You have no idea who I am, right?""Who the... Who the fuck are you?""I'm the last person you should've messed with. You should've picked another fight, Celeste.""Cassian isn't meant to be with you, you witch!", I tried to find the same strength I had last night, but I couldn't find it."And who is he meant for? You?"I almost choked on my spit with the sudden question. "Wh... What? Are you insane? Cassian's my-""Stepbrother, I know. At least that's what it's meant to look like. But I know love when I see it...""You're being delusional, Shantel. And your father's dying outside for goodness sake!!""He looks at you the same way he looked at me when he loved me. He's always trying to prove something to you. He treats you the same exact way he did when we were together. I almost concl
Celeste POV.Fuck!I shouldn't have been that loud!I just couldn't help it. I hated Shantel, but the the venom in her voice when she swore to kill me sent chills down my spine.She was still standing fixed to the ground, but I saw her head pivot all the way to the back, her cold eyes meeting mine immediately."Who's that?!"I immediately turned and hid the behind the door before she would make out who I was.This wouldn't do.I heard footsteps approaching, and without thinking twice, and dashed from the behind the door and raced to my room, looking the door behind me and panting heavily like a rabid dog."Shouldn't you be sleeping by now-""Ahh!!!", I shrieked and almost jumped out of my skin from that voice behind.I turned and I immediately froze to the ground."This..."This couldn't be true.I had to be hallucinating.That was the only logical situation for the horror that my eyes were witnessing right now.My chest began palpitating again. The cold wind that came in from the ope
Celeste's POV"HOOOONNNKKKK"Both our eyes widened in shock.The car was ready and we were nowhere near ready to leave."We're still naked", he muttered in shock and astonishment, his chest heaving in an up and down manner from the fun that w just had."We need to get ready immediately!!", I panicked and began rushing the bath process."You could've just given me the towel and left", he muttered under as he washed himself like he didn't say anything.I sent him a grimace immediately. "You're the reason we're late. Don't you dare pin this on me!!", I warned him.I was done in less than a minute and made to leave, but I felt him grab me from behind. "Tell me you didn't enjoy it", his baritone voice echoed throughout the room and made my knees weak."Lucian, we're late already. We'll miss the plane if we don't-"He pinned me to the wall and closed the distance between us, his warm breath making my nipples shiver.He made me look into his eyes, and I could swear I felt liquid drip down my

Celeste's POVI shut my eyes to relish the taste of his lips on mine, and I could never get used to the divine feeling. I felt his hands travel and dominate the whole of my back, and I began to run out of breath.We'd had sex all day, so I was quite surprised that I was still horny for him.Before now, I could've sworn that sex wouldn't interest me this much. Lucian just had a way of making me so sexually yearning.It took everything in me to break the kiss, and the look of unfinished achievements he gave me almost broke me.“The driver said fifteen minutes. Go have your bath while I arrange this place and pack up, so we can get moving.”“I have a better idea”, he said with a mischievous smirk on the side of his lips. “Why don't we go shower together?”“Lucian. Go.”He rolled his eyes and put his hands up in the air in surrender. “Whatever you say, mummy.”It was meant to be weird, seeing him walk naked. But the way he swayed his butt made me want to slap it hard!I began arranging t
