Celine's POV

I could not sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Trent's face. The desperation in his eyes when he showed me those documents. The pain in his voice when he begged me to believe him. And then I saw Kyle's smile. Warm. Gentle. Safe.

Who was telling the truth?

I sat up in bed and ran my hands through my hair. My mind was a mess. Trent claimed Kyle's pack was involved in my parents' massacre. But Kyle had been nothing but kind to me. He made me feel seen and valued in ways Trent n

  • Queen Luna's Return: I am no longer yours, HUSBAND    Chapter 49

    Arianna's POVI stared at my reflection in the cracked mirror and barely recognized the woman looking back at me. My hair was tangled and unwashed. Dark circles hollowed out my eyes. My skin looked sallow and sick. I was a ghost of who I used to be.This was what losing everything looked like.Trent had cast me out of his pack like I was nothing. Less than nothing. He had not even given me the courtesy of a formal rejection. Just cold words and a command to leave his territory immediately or face execution.Jared had disappeared. The coward had taken the money I gave him and vanished without helping me finish what we started. He had used me just like everyone else had used me.And Celine. Perfect, innocent Celine. She had everything now. Trent's love. His protection. His devotion. She had stolen my entire life and she did not even have the decency to f

  • Queen Luna's Return: I am no longer yours, HUSBAND    Chapter 48

    Alpha Collins' POVI watched Celine walk away and felt my heart shatter into pieces. The look in her eyes was worse than any physical pain I had ever endured. She looked at me like I was nothing. Like I was the monster who had destroyed her world.Maybe I was.I sat alone in the cafeteria staring at the cold coffee in front of me. My hands would not stop shaking. After five years of carrying this secret, it was finally out. And I felt no relief. Only crushing guilt."You should have told her from the beginning," I muttered to myself. "You coward."The truth was I had been terrified. Terrified of losing the only chance I had to make things right. Terrified that Celine would hate me before I could prove my loyalty. Terrified that my past would destroy any future I hoped to build.But keeping the secret had been worse. Now Celine saw

  • Queen Luna's Return: I am no longer yours, HUSBAND    Chapter 47

    Celine's POVThe name on the page blurred as tears filled my eyes. Alpha Collins. The man who had stood beside us through everything. The man who had helped rescue Jerome. The man I had trusted with my life."This cannot be real," I whispered. My hands shook so badly the paper rustled. "Kyle is lying. He has to be lying."Trent took the document from me and read it again. His jaw tightened. "There are account numbers here. Transaction records. Dates that match the night your parents were killed.""No," I said. "Collins would never do this. He loved my father. They were friends.""Friends betray each other all the time," Trent said quietly. "Especially when money and power are involved."I wanted to scream. Wanted to tear the document to pieces and pretend I had never seen it. But the evidence was there in black and white. Alpha Col

    Celine's POVThe world was ending around me. Fire consumed everything. Walls cracked and crumbled. The air was thick with smoke that burned my lungs with every breath I took."Move," Trent shouted. His hand gripped mine so tightly it hurt but I did not care. That pain meant I was alive. That pain meant he was with me.We ran through corridors that were collapsing behind us. The heat was unbearable. Sweat poured down my face mixing with tears I did not remember crying. People screamed somewhere in the distance and the sound made my stomach twist with horror."Where is Jerome?" I shouted over the roar of the flames."Devon has him," Trent said. "Focus on getting out."Another explosion shook the building and I stumbled. Trent caught me before I fell and pulled me forward. My legs felt weak. My arm throbbed where Kyle's knife had cut

  • Queen Luna's Return: I am no longer yours, HUSBAND    Chapter 45 

    Trent's POVTime stopped. The world narrowed to the silver blade pressed against Celine's throat and the terror in her eyes. My wolf howled inside me but I forced myself to remain still. One wrong move and Kyle would kill her."You should have stayed away," Kyle said. His voice was calm and cold. "Now you get to watch her die.""Kyle, do not do this," I said. My hands were raised in surrender. "You want me. I am the one you hate. Let Celine go and take me instead."Kyle laughed. "You think I want a trade? I want everything, Trent. I want your mate dead. I want your pack destroyed. I want you to suffer the way I have suffered.""What are you talking about?" I asked. "What did I ever do to you?""You existed," Kyle spat. "You were always the golden alpha. The one everyone respected. The one with power and influence. I had to claw my way up from nothing. Do you know what that feels like? To watch someone have everything you want?""So this is about jealousy?" I said. "You are willing to

  • Queen Luna's Return: I am no longer yours, HUSBAND    Chapter 44

    Trent's POVThe moment Celine's call cut off, I knew Kyle had found the phone. My wolf howled inside me with rage and terror. Celine was in danger and I was not there to protect her."We move now," I said to Devon and Collins. "No more waiting. No more planning. We go in and we get them out.""Trent, we need to be smart about this," Collins said. "If we rush in without a solid plan, people will die.""People are already dying," I snarled. "Celine is in there with that monster. Jerome is being tortured. I am not waiting another second."Devon put his hand on my shoulder. "Then let us do this right. Fast and brutal. We hit them hard and we do not stop until we have Celine and Jerome."I nodded. "Get the teams ready. We leave in ten minutes."The assault began at nightfall. We approached Kyle's estate from three directions. Collins took the east side where Jerome was being held. Devon took the west entrance. I led the main force through the front gates.Kyle's guards were waiting for us.
