The Alpha's Retribution

(Celina’s POV)I felt the grip tighten around me as he tried to navigate through the dark forest. “I’ll make sure you’re okay.” He reassured me as he kept running, in the distance I could hear the growling of the werewolves chasing after us.Our small town of Lore had been a peaceful one, where children could run around and people could come and go as they pleased until a pack of werewolves decided to call that their home too.“No one is allowed to leave this town, if you are caught the punishment will be death!” The young man stated one day in a gathering of the town. As it is typical for human beings, no one took the young man seriously, but they soon would when he killed and displayed the bodies of a couple that had tried to leave the town, suddenly everyone lived in fear. They watched what they said, what they did and how they did it.He put me inside a hallowed out tree as he covered me with leaves and branches, “I’m sorry sweetie that I put us in this situation.” He apologized a

(Celina’s POV)I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. I looked around surprised, I was expecting him to have killed me and displayed me in the town centre but here I was alive and well.I quickly got to my feet, my shoes were still on and I ran to the door but it was locked. I sighed, what was I thinking? Of course he wasn’t just going to let me walk out of here when I tried to kill him. He is probably just keeping me captive here giving himself time to think of ways to kill me.I looked around the cabin, it was a nice cabin with a fireplace, furniture, a fully furnished kitchen, under different circumstances I wouldn’t have minded spending some alone time here but at the moment my mind was reeling.I heard the door unlock, I could feel my heart beating faster, as I tried to come to terms with the fact that I was going to die. But Landon walked in with groceries in hand, so calm and nonchalant. I almost thought that I had dreamed about what happened the night befo

(Landon’s POV)I had been doing a lot of things around our small village in an attempt to stop me from thinking about Celina. I found it impressive that despite all the risks of coming face to face with a werewolf, she didn’t hesitate when she ‘attempted’ to kill me.A smile crept up to my face just thinking about her.“You seem to be doing a lot around here.” Connor, my father’s right hand man, commented as he walked up to me, “and while smiling. That’s unusual.”“For you maybe.” I replied, “never seen you smile.”“What do you mean? I’m smiling right now.” He stated.I looked up only to see him with his usual frown on his face. I chuckled as I shook my head.“Let me guess, you met a girl?” He asked.I paused as I looked at him.“I’d rather not talk about it.” I stated as I continued with my work. I knew that the pack wouldn’t take it kindly to the alpha being in love with a human. If that’s what I feel for Celina.He put his hand on my shoulder, “I know that I’m not your father and n

(Landon’s POV)I sighed as I stepped into my house, taking off my jacket with a smile on my face as I thought about the time I had spent with Celina. Before I could turn on the lights, someone else did starling me.“You should really pay attention to your surroundings.” Connor said as I felt my heart almost leave my chest.I sighed as I tilted my head to look at the roof.“I didn’t think anyone would be breaking into my house.” I replied defensively.Connor smirked as he shook his head, “you should always think and expect anything. You’re the leader of the pack, thinking and expecting should be all you do.”“Fine.” I agreed just to try and get him to leave my house.“Where have you been?” He asked as he slowly got up from the chair.“Trying to get a hold of my teen years that were taken from me because I had to rise to the occasion and become the leader of the pack at a young age.” I explained sounding slightly sarcastic.He walked up to me, putting his hand around my neck, “I underst

(Celina’s POV)I sighed as I took a seat, grateful that the day was over. Today felt longer, and I felt more exhausted than usual.“Celina,” Andrew called out my name as he approached me, and before he could even take a seat, Austin and Paige walked in, arguing about something.“Okay, okay, then let’s ask Celina, and we can solve this once and for all.” Paige spoke over Austin, but they stopped when they reached the table where Andrew and I were seated.“What’s wrong?” Austin asked.Andrew shrugged.I was fighting the urge to cry.“He doesn’t care about me.” I blurted out, my voice breaking but still holding back my tears.Paige took a seat beside me as she pulled me in for a hug, but I backed away as I chuckled, trying to make it seem like I wasn’t bothered.“Landon came here?” She asked.“He did,” I replied, “but he didn’t even acknowledge me.” I snickered.Andrew looked at us, perplexed. He didn’t understand what was going on.“Landon is the alpha of the werewolf that took over our
