Damien’s POV

When the light returned to normal, Celeste's eyes weren't as they should be. Her eyes were no longer golden as it has been. They've become storm blue.

I recognise those eyes. I can't possibly forget those storm blue eyes from seven years ago that always stare at me whenever I keep late nights, and whenever I come back home from hanging out with Taylor. Those eyes from seven years ago that always stare at me, waiting patiently for me to accept her as my mate finally. I couldn't accept her because of Taylor.

Those eyes I betrayed. Those eyes I rejected. The eyes that looked at me when she was being humiliated in the council, and the entire pack was present.

The eyes that looked at me to defend her and to trust her.

Those eyes that looked teary when I framed her.

Those eyes only belonged to…

“Astrid,” I whispered

  • The Alpha’s Rejected Mate Was The Stolen Werewolf Princess    Chapter 71

    Astrid’s POV Lucian’s endgame is no longer about power and that was what terrified me now Power announces itself Power is not quite Power is loud But Lucian’s plans seemed quiet What Lucian wanted was permission Permission from the council I got to realize this when I stood alone in the old training ring that had been off-limits for quite some time now. The training ground was an abandoned stone circle where pups would normally train to learn their first shifts and where young Alphas learned in the lower ground without any guard or guide. I stood alone without anyone watching me, not even Sebastian. I needed this space. The night was just moonlight and truth. The atmosphere is so pure. I closed my fingers around the relic in my hand and I took a deep and slow breath. “Just a little,” I whispered. “It won’t cause any harm,” I assured myself that I wasn’t going to open anything. Then the air around responded like they understood me all along. The air

  • The Alpha’s Rejected Mate Was The Stolen Werewolf Princess    Chapter 69 part 2

    Astrid’s POVThe world felt like it was ending slowly The first sign is the silence. Not the peaceful kind. The wrong kind. The kind that settles over the pack like a held breath. Sebastian walks beside me through the east corridor of the compound, his shoulder occasionally brushing mine. He’s solid. Warm. Real. Too real for the way my chest keeps tightening like something is missing. Or worse— Like something is watching. “You should still be resting,” he says, glancing at me. “You’ve barely eaten.” “I’m fine,” I lie. I’ve been saying that for two days. Ever since I woke up. Ever since the dream refused to fade the way dreams are supposed to. We turn a corner— —and I stop. Sebastian takes one more step before he realizes I’m no longer beside him. “Astrid?” I’m staring at the floor. At the pattern carved into the stone. A crescent intersected by a broken circle. My stomach drops. That wasn’t here before. It couldn’t have been. I saw it in the dream—etched into t
