Semua Bab Alpha's Cursed Twain: Bab 121 - Bab 130

CELESTE'S POVI didn't leave. I couldn't find it in me to leave him out there fighting alone while I was tugged in safely behind the locked door and key like a damn princess in distress. I am not a princess, so I sure as heck won't let my distress be handled by another, not even my mate. Flora refused to come with me even though her mate was out there, too. She said, "Any day you have kids, we will have that conversation." I wasn't trying to judge her or anything, but how could I survive in here knowing my mate is out there risking his life? It's best that she stays anyway. I wouldn't have been comfortable with leaving the kids all by themselves, even though I was more inclined toward calling a maid to stay with them. After we reached the room, I turned back and returned to the ceremony ground, where the chaos had doubled, if that was even possible. Even though the whole place was marbled with carved stones, the amount of dust around made it impossible to see beyond my stretched h

KILLIAN’S POVI should have known Celeste was too damn stubborn for her good. Thankfully, the wound wasn't that deep and I had her mended almost immediately. I knew next time, to keep her under lock and key. Or she will end up being the dead of me. “I won’t call what happened out there victory, they left, we didn’t drive them out.” I declared, adrenaline still pumping through my veins. We retreated back to the estate after they left, and I had just called in for an urgent meeting. We lost more than a dozen weak wolves, and that is saying a lot. They had really planned this attack, and by all indications, everything worked well for them. I still believe that they didn't retreat because they were overpowered; they headed out because they had managed to fulfill what they came for. I still don't understand why Joan would act this way when the last time we spoke, we were trying to ally against Sam. The fact that Sam had dropped everything and returned home must have irked her. That was

 CELESTE'S POV To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I was worried shitless. I have seen how rogues fight even though they are on their enemies' territory; I can't imagine how well they would fight if they were on their land.  "Can you take a breath and let your shoulder rest from carrying that burden? I promise you they are going to be fine." Flora was feeding her youngest a few feet away from me in the kitchen. On a normal day, she would have left them with a maid back in their house to care for them, but since Selena kidnapped them, she has been very paranoid about being away from them, thus why she brings them in to work every day.  "I just can't help it, Flora, I can't help the worry."  

KILLIAN'S POVI still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Joan was Celeste's mother. How could she be? Of all the people in the world? Now I was torn between torturing her for what she did or letting it go because she was my mate's mother. Even if I want to let it go, no one in the pack will agree with that, especially not the elders. The only comforting part of it was that, at least, Celeste didn't seem so fond of her, and she might actually overlook whatever punishment the council would inflict on the mother. I wasn't really sure, she was still in a bit of shock when I tugged her to bed. I hope morning doesn't bring much more intense complications, I hope she sees Joan for who she is or I am scared as heck, we were going to have a repeat of Selena. And this might be worse because this wasn't some random stranger; this was her mother. Celeste was sleeping on my bed and I was sitting on my study desk, going through some files when I first heard the sound. It sounded like a m

CELESTE’S POVFor the first time in my life, I was not hiding behind anyone's protection. I was out there, in the midst of a raging battle, picking a side and fighting fearlessly for that side.Of course, I didn't listen to Killian. I wouldn't have been myself if I did. I did help Logan to clear the path as he carried him back to his room, made sure no danger was in the way, and if there was any, I would eliminate the target almost immediately. How it feels to be in control. Killian was wounded pretty badly, but Logan did assure me that he would be fine, as he had gotten worse. I left the room only when I made sure the physicians were surrounding his bed, doing their job. Now I was here, protecting his pack, his Kingdom, in his place, and I wouldn’t have asked to do any other thing. It was almost comical how the battle changed course immediately. I wasn’t sure if we had the upper hand before, but the rogues were really pulling up fiercely since they had managed to get their leader
