Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha's Cursed Twain: Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

  CELESTE'S POV "Lay out your plan before me, and then I will tell you what poison was used and how to get rid of it." I could tell she wasn't in the mood for her usual chit-chat, which only worked well for me as Killian would be out of the room searching for me if I spent more time than necessary.  I glared at her, unsure of what to say. Honestly, I have nothing planned out on how to get her out of here. I was just fueled by the sheer need to help my mate out of his misery. I wasn't sure what I would be telling her, even, but what I was determined to do was to only go out of this cell with the right information. She isn't aware of that just yet, and I planned on using it to my advantage.  "I thought you would at least rate

  KILLIAN'S POV "You weren't getting a drink, were you?" I was furious. Flora had just sent a servant with a message. In it, she stated that Celeste was up to something risky behind my back, and I should not let her out of my sight. She didn't give any detailed insight and only assured me she would explain what she knew tomorrow.  I should have known. There was no way she could just get up at midnight to get a drink. I was so distracted by my thoughts that I didn't even recall I had a whole wine collection sitting in the fridge in that same room. She knew. So definitely, that only further confirmed Flora's words.  I got up from the bed, rage surging through my veins. Why? Why would she risk her life when she knew I wasn't in the best condi

CELESTE'S POVMy gaze lingered on the door even after he stepped out, confusion lurking in every corner of my head. He had been annoyingly protective throughout our conversation, and all of a sudden, he was telling me, "I could figure it out." What the hell was I figuring out, and how on earth would I be able to do that? I sighed deeply and moved out of the balcony, the chilly air becoming irritating to my skin. My initial plan was to just lay in bed and wait for his return, maybe catching some sleep while at it, but I was so restless to a fault. And lying around wasn't going to help my situation, so I decided the best thing to do was to take that walk I had mentioned to Killian in the beginning. Maybe I will be able to clear some of this weight off my head and shoulders. I wasn't surprised that the door was locked; of course, he would want to keep me enclosed. I simply channeled my magic to the door and unlocked it, muttering under my breath how he forgot who I was.As if locking

  KILLIAN'S POV Questions were thrown my way after my announcement, and I answered them to the best of my ability. I have no idea if the witch's coven is planning a direct invasion anytime soon, but they would somehow try to put their hands on Celeste, which I will not allow.  The meeting came to an end an hour and a few minutes after it began. We all needed to nod off through the rest of the night as tomorrow would be one heck of a busy day. The matter of a traitor had never been taken lightly in this pack since the topic of Sam. "All we have to do is to be very observant. The witches aren't war creatures. They don't know how things in that field work. They will let something slip at some point, they definitely will." I nod

  KILLIAN'S POV "Celeste?" I called gently, moving close to her with a pounding heart. I put my hands gently on her cheek. She flinched at first, then melted into me when she realized who it was. Her body folded into mine, not in a way that shows she wants comfort, but like she needed me to hold her shattered pieces together before she disintegrates completely.  I let her cry. Though my heart aches to stop the tears, to find out whatever had put her in this condition, and destroy it. To promise her safety and protection. But I remained silent. She needed to let it all out, and that's exactly what she did.  Time passed, I couldn't tell for how long we had been standing there in each other's arms, but when she finally recovered, she whimpere
