Semua Bab Alpha's Cursed Twain: Bab 221 - Bab 230

SAM'S POVAimlessly, I wandered, trying so hard to ease the worry that had been weighing down my heart for the past few days. If I had known what to do to get rid of it, I would have, without a doubt, done it. But instead, I suppressed it, tried to act like it was not there at all, like it was insignificant, and now, it has finally caught up with me. I wanted to scream, throw things around, just anything to ease the cloudiness, but nothing seemed to work, and with each passing second, my tolerance level became lower. While I knew we had no other option but to follow up with the plan we made, the guilt of putting Celeste's life at risk was hefty. It kept eating me up from the inside. If there were a way I could do everything on my own without getting her involved, I would have worked it out alone. But she has the powers; she was the only one who could end this. My pacing came to a halt when my door was knocked on. At first, I thought it might be a maid coming to drop off dinner, see

CELESTE'S POV"As much as I claim to not give two fucks about you, Killian would never approve of this, and so in his absence, I will see to it that his instructions are accomplished." Logan tapped his feet impatiently as he spoke, waiting for me to leave. I have shown up, about to deliver the moonstone in Killian's room as we have agreed with Malthus, but just as I was about to slip into the room, Logan showed up out of nowhere and requested that I stay back and not get myself killed. "You have to trust me on this, I am not being irresponsible or risking my life. I have to do this." I tried to get past him, but who was I kidding? Logan was a six-foot-tall bag of muscles. I couldn't even move a single finger of his away from the door handle, not unless he permitted. He cast me with a skeptical gaze, seeming to be thinking about something else entirely. My assumption was proved right when he spoke. "If you and Sam are plotting against Killian, just know that it will not be a succes

CELESTE'S POVOur plan has failed. I needed no one to tell me that. Everything was in the open. Everyone knew the monster that burst out of Killian's room was now moving around the estate uncontrollably, trying to kill everyone who obstructed its path. It was bloody. It all died down to me, if I didn't hand the moonstone heck, if I didn't exist, maybe Killian would have gotten a far better mate that doesn't bring trouble with her wherever she goes. But somehow, I managed to not only mess up my own life but also that of my mate and his comrades. Werewolves were out there getting killed because of me, and the fact that I could do nothing about it made the feeling of guilt even worse.The jiggling of keys on the door made me rush forward toward it. Sam walked into the room, looking the most disheveled I have seen him since I knew him. He looked at me in the eyes and walked straight ahead, toward the bathroom. "What is going on out there?" I didn't even bother to stop as he walked int

KAIDEN’S POVMy showing up turned out to be at the perfect time, or so I thought. I had troubles with the security at the main entrance but when I explained to them that I was there on pure intention, with my pack of Solari witches whom I had managed to convince to come with me so we could take down “Malthus.” whom they believe have been the real cause of their crisis from the first day. They believed that if Malthus hadn't initiated some group of the witches and molded them to start doing his bindings, formed some sort of religion that worshiped him, then there wouldn’t be a need for them to create another cult just to water down the actions of their sisters. My council was totally against me showing up here to help Celeste since they knew firsthand how brutal Malthus could be. When he raided our pack, we were left with no option but to give up and let him take what he wanted. That was one of the darkest times in our history, and we are still struggling from the impact of that to

   CELESTE’S POV I watched with a mixture of awe and horror as the witches continued to chatter chorally under their breath. They held hands now, blocking the way out for Malthus. They eerily reminded me of Selena.  But Malthus gave them no time to complete whatever they intended to do. He raised his hands upward and just like that, he disappeared into thin air, leaving behind a thick foam of smoke, causing me to choke as it gushed past me.  The chaotic disappearance caused a bit of an uproar in the room, and it took a while before they could all calm down, Kaiden included. “I…..” I opened my mouth to speak, but my tongue seemed to be tied up
