CELESTE'S POVI thought he was going to get me, or worse, take the moonstone away from my hand. But everything happened so fast I didn't even have time to blink. Sam moved at the same time as Logan, both with a similar intention at heart. And just when the wolf reached the door, Sam pulled me sideways, and Logan shut the door before he could make it out of it. The moonstone fell to the floor with the force Sam used to drag me. I followed it down and scoped it into my hands immediately. "Excuse us, please." Sam dragged me to the nearest room and shut the door without waiting for Logan's response. "Can't you see, Sam, he flinched away from the Moonstone before he got back in character. I still think there is a way around this. You can't tell me this is the end, you can't tell me I have failed. I refused to take any other thing apart from my mate." I shook my head vigorously, finding it very hard to control my emotions that were all over the place. "I am not saying you should give up

CELESTE’S POVFor someone with so much anger built in her toward Malthus, I was shocked by my reaction to his presence. You had thought I would smack him into the ground the minute I had the chance, but I did the opposite. I came to stand in front of him while he stared down at me in his usual manner. Like I was some pest that needed to be uprooted from his path. We took so long just standing there, staring at each other, neither of us willing to speak first. Or perhaps it was just me who was tongue-tied, and he was trying to see how long he could keep me up in his trance. I wasn’t sure how messed up time was in whatever part of the world we stood, but I knew enough to recognize that a few minutes had passed before I finally snapped out of the daze he had me in and spoke. “Don’t harm my mate.” My words sounded like a plea, conveying just how broken I was. I hated it, the fact that my voice was a mere whisper, and I whimpered like a wounded animal while speaking; I hated myself for

KAIDEN'S POV"The fuckers fucking let her slip between their damn fingers." I groaned to no one in particular, pushing the bowl of hot soup that had been placed in front of me seconds ago. How could they have possibly allowed that to happen after I warned them personally about the gravity of that situation! "Your highness, we already have guards scattered around. Be assured that she is going to be found and brought to you as soon as possible." My beta spoke, bowing curtly and taking gradual steps away from me. "She is going to be found, you said?" I had raised my glass of wine, about to take a sip, but his words made me stop dead in my tracks, opting to drop the cup on the table. "You made mention of the fact that she was with a man, who seemed quite experienced with navigating around the fucking pack, do you think he is going to allow himself to get caught?" "Well....your Highness, we will try our best to....""Don't try your best, shove it up your asses and get the hell out of my

  CELESTE'S POV Sam's plan sounded absolutely insane, but we had no other choice but to follow through with it, especially considering that Killian's situation was becoming harder to conceal from the public by the day.  The maids and guards around the palace were beginning to pick up the signs that something was absolutely wrong with their leader, despite the effort we put into making sure that things stayed under our control. It was hard on both Sam and I, and to some extent, even Logan. He was mostly occupied with the pack duties and rarely had time to watch Killian slowly fade away or deal with having to keep the noises down.  Sam, for some reason, still hasn't informed Logan about the full story of what has happened to Killian. 

SAM'S POVThe trip back to the pack was done in silence, both of us fully engrossed in our different thoughts, which traced back to the same worry. We are both worried about the probability of our plan turning the situation into a much more disaster than we were already battling. But neither of us was confident enough to let our fears out. I silently held the door open for Celeste to walk in first as we reached her room. Only when she stepped in did she let her shoulders slump down with the weight of worry she was carrying. It was as if she had been putting up a facade just for the sake of the pack members around. And now that she was finally in her space, everything was catching up to her. "Are you okay?" I blurted the question at the tip of my tongue before I could stop myself. Even though I knew she was far from okay but still, a part of me still wanted to hear her voice assuring me that she was fine. I knew she wasn't. I wasn't too. No one who knew about Killian's situation wou
