CELESTE POVI paused at the threshold of the room, inhaling deeply.It was dark in here, with less light. There were just two windows that might have been used to allow air to drift into the room and ward off the scent of sweat that surrounded it now.But it was barely useful.This wasn't unlike the general training room, which was bright and warm.It was cold, unwelcoming…dark and mysterious. Yet, I left the doorside and wandered inside.The silence in the room was another thing. It was almost deafening. I could barely hear anything. Not even the echo of my footsteps.My fingers reached out, tracing the weapons that lined the walls as I walked past them. Swords with edges honed so fine they could slice a hair midair, silver-tipped spears, weighted gauntlets, and rows of throwing knives.I felt the sharpness, stories, and pain behind each one I touched. I shuddered, wrapping my arms around myself.I stilled as I felt a presence. Slowly, I swirled, but no one was in the room with me.I
CELESTE POVSay no. Say no.The alarm in my head resounded over again.Yet…I wanted him. I wanted him to do as he said. I wanted to hear the vulgar voices all over again, making my pussy tingle.“Tell me, Celeste,” Damon said in the roughest voice I've ever heard him speak.Gripping the back of my neck, he pulled me into him so that our body was pressed together.My heart throbbed, likewise my nipples, and every other part of my body. I believe he could feel my heart pounding.Damon's hand moved up and down the length of my body, my body felt flushed against his, and my knees grew weak. Our lips were near, and I could almost taste his breath.“Is this right?” I whispered, my gaze flitting up to meet him.“What isn't right?” He asked.He was this close to me. Our bodies pressed together, our lips almost locking. I knew I only needed to move a little for us to begin to kiss each other.Someone could come in here. Seth, the warriors, anyone whatsoever. I didn't want anyone to get any ide
DAMONWhy do I have to say that to her? It was unlike me. I had never acted like a caveman before, much less thought about it.I was barely jealous and wouldn't force myself on anyone.But I had done that to Celeste. I had fucking kissed her without her permission. Do I regret it?No!I fucking wanted to do more than that. It wasn't only annoying because I couldn't do what I wanted to do with her, but also the reaction I was still feeling in my body.The tingling sensation in between my thighs, the way my dick strained in my pants wanting to burst my zippers.Fuck.I slammed my fist hard into the bag. I wanted to forget. It was the reason I left before I did something I'd regret.I had lost all my self-control back there, and if I had stayed a second longer, both of us would be panting for air with our clothes on the floor while we explored each other's bodies.I hated this feeling. Why the hell was it coming all day? Was it because of the heat?That could be the reason, but I barely
CELESTE POVThis was my first time experiencing hunting season. In the Blood Moon Pack House, the Omegas were always made to stay behind to do the dirty work of the other members. It wasn't like I minded, though, because I heard stories.Or they were rumours. Regardless, I held them to heart.The hunt was a dangerous adventure. It wasn't just to test your strength alone; it was a survival game. And you wouldn't know if you'd be returning to your loved ones.Some had been lost in the hunt, and some had been killed. I had heard many scary tales and had never once imagined I'd desire to experience it until now.I desired to go on the hunt, to be with Seth, even Damon, although it had been a week since I last saw him. After our encounter in his private training room, it felt like he had intentionally avoided seeing me.I knew he was in the pack house, planning the hunt. As the alpha, he needed to do so. I had even perceived his scent when I passed his office, the hallway, and the training
CELESTE POVImmediately Damon left the room, a knock sounded on the door. I ran towards it, believing he was the one who had returned. Maybe to tell me I could go with him and I needed to be careful.That I could do. If I'd get to experience the hunt, I didn't mind staying in the background while others fought. It might be an inconvenience, at least that would keep me away from harm's way, I believe.I opened the door, my eyes lit up and hoping to see Damon outside, but he wasn't the one there.It was Hanna.I couldn't resist emitting a disappointed sigh and Hanna noticed.“I'm sorry,” she whispered, refusing to look me in the eyes.“Um, that wasn't about you,” I said to her. “You just about to be here at the wrong time.”“I'm sorry, I'll leave,” she said.“No, no, don't. I don't mean it that way too,” I grimaced, opening the door wider and making way for her to step in.She hesitated by the doorway, not making a move to come into the room.I didn't force her to. It was her choice. Af
CELESTE POVIt had been a while since I walked around the pack house with Hanna, and I wouldn't lie, I enjoy doing so now.It wasn't due to the brightness of the sun or the way Hanna took her time to explain some of the things I was confused about; it was mostly because I got to spend the whole day without any interruption.From Damon. He was out of the pack house and the only one who mostly disrupted things for me, especially when it came to taking a stroll. Also, the guards he had placed to watch over me—I hadn't seen any of them since today. I wanted to believe they had gone to the hunt, too.He could have easily replaced them. There was a chance he forgot about that, and I was glad I didn't get to have two people breathing down my neck and invading my privacy each time.“Should we sit over there?” Hanna pointed to a bench, underneath a large tree that overlooked a small body of water.I nodded. I was as well exhausted, and my legs were beginning to ache. As much as I enjoyed our
CELESTE POVOut of the things I wanted to hear her say, that was the last thing on my mind. Also, I resisted the urge to yell ‘I told you so’ while squealing and jumping around because it was obvious she had a thing for him.Even though Seth hadn't shown any interest in his path, I had seen how Hanna looked at him each time. Only a blind person would miss the electrifying attraction between them when they were near.“That's a good thing, right? You're pregnant with Seth’s child and could inform him about it when he returns from the hunt. It shouldn't be that hard. Is it?”“Would he want the baby? What would he think of me? It was only a nightstand and a drunken mistake. I never knew it would result in this. Would he tell me to take the baby off?”I felt Hanna shudder, her eyes widened as they stayed on me. “Please, I don't want the baby to be terminated. He could reject me since I am way lower in ranking than he was, and he wouldn't possibly go for someone like me normally, but I want
CELESTE POVThe air was thick with the scent of wood smoke, damp earth, and the metallic tang of blood from injured omegas, beaten and wounded because they failed to complete their work.It wasn't something new in the Blood Moon Packhouse. It was a known fact that if you didn't get to finish the work that was given to you at the designated time, you'd be seeking a death sentence.No one ever disobeys the alpha's wishes. The alpha and others were higher in status than the omega.My name was Celeste Ravaryn, twenty-two years old, born an omega, and the daughter of a disgraced warrior who was executed for betraying the pack house. I witnessed his death at the age of fourteen. The Alpha had ordered for him to be whipped fifty times, even after being unconscious from being forced to drink five bottles of whiskey. After that, he was beheaded, and his head was placed on a wooden stake for everyone to see and mock.Betrayal in the Blood Moon Packhouse wasn't something to be taken lightly; henc

CELESTE POVIt was a week and three days since I came awake in Damon’s room from the nightmare I had been in. Also, since I last saw Hanna.For some reason, a new maid resumed in my room, saying the Alpha instructed her to come to me, while Hanna seemed to be nowhere in sight. I didn't want a new maid, and I never requested one. I was just curious about Hanna and wondered why she was avoiding me.Even though I knew it would mainly be because of me shifting, I wanted to hear her say it to my face at least.Again, it had been a week since I began frequenting the training room. Damon wanted me to be there this time, and he had taken it upon himself to train me. If he wasn't available, I was allowed to train with whoever I desired.Damon told me he wanted me to get stronger. He hated when people were weak and easily defeated, like I was during the two battles I had experienced.But I wanted to believe it was because I had no wolf. I had one now, even as I had barely seen her for what she
CELESTE POVMy cheeks heated. That wasn't what I wanted to hear him say. At least, not him, who wouldn't let me go since he knew I was an enemy.“If I ever had the intention of doing so, I should have killed you the moment I met with you and not now that you've grown on me.”How could he say such a thing without blinking? He looked damn serious and I didn't know what to do with words like that.It was a time like this that I wish I were part of the higher-class pack house. They weren't just taught how to look pretty or defend themselves in times of trouble. They were taught to be a proper lady.If I had been, I wouldn't be staring at my broken nails or blushing like crazy in Damon’s presence.“I don't mind you blushing. I find you cuter when that happens. However, I must say that I don't find you attacking me cute. At least, not in that manner in which you had, tell me why you did so? Were you thinking about me?”Once again, I found my cheeks flaming. Hot. Plus, my neck region and eve
