Semua Bab Alpha's Cursed Twain: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Killian’s POVBlood. I smelled it before I saw it, thick in the air, seizing my senses. As I entered the clearing, I spotted her right away. Celeste lay in Vanessa and Selene’s arms, limp, far too pale. Her breathing was slow and low.Vanessa and Selene saw me right away. Selene backed off but lingered close, torn between offering help to Celeste or keeping her distance. My wolf lunged forward, a low growl rumbling out of my throat.I changed back into a human. It was fast and painful as bones snapped and fur was lost, but I hardly noticed. A maid hurried up, eyes down, holding jeans. I grabbed the jeans, feeling anger simmer just under my skin. As soon as I was buttoned, I stormed up to them, fury surging within.“What happened?” My voice had been so sharp and cutting.Vanessa began to speak, but I did not want explanations. My rage focused on Selene like a hunter. I reached out, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her off the ground. A loud crack sounded as her back hit a tree, leav

   Celeste’s POV The warmth engulfing me was foreign. It surrounded me, enfolding me like a coat of armor, so different from the hollow void I had experienced earlier. My breathing was regular, no longer labored. There was no pain, no residual soreness, no remnant of the injuries that once scarred my flesh.I was alive.Slowly, I opened my eyes. Sunlight poured through the curtains, leaving golden streaks on the bed. A soft light filled the room, a morning glow exposing the well-built man at my side.It was Killian.Soothing, even when he slept. His arm draped lazily across the sheets, his breathing even, the calm I rarely glimp

 Celeste’s POV That need pulsed between us, the air taut with it. Killian stepped forward, his predatory gaze locking onto mine and my breath hitched. That raw intensity in his eyes made me shiver with heat curling deep in my belly. “You’re the most stubborn, reckless woman I’ve ever known,” he muttered, the words with a low growl. His eyes danced down to my lips, and he gripped my chin between his fingers, tilting my face up to align parallel with his. “Killian…I,” I stuttered. “Shh,” he said softly and brought his hands to my neck. The gasp flew from my mouth as his f

 Sam’s POVJoan’s mouth was still partially open, her face frozen in surprise as I walked away from her. I allowed a smirk to hitch at the corner of my mouth and strode out of the office without another word. It was a fun reaction, but it paled in comparison to what came next.All I could hear in the corridor was the echo of my boots against the polished floor. Joan had ruled long enough. Her hesitation made her weak. And in this world, weakness was a killer’s sentence.I finally made it to my room and closed the door. Locking it was merely a formality, as one would ever dare enter without knocking. When I dragged my bed aside, I revealed what few people had known existed. A steel hatch set into the floor. I crouched, prying it open. The cool air blew up from below, bear

Selene’s POV“Cumhacht mo chroí…” I chanted. “daingnigh mo lámha,...”The wind started and dropped. I was losing concentration. “Ugh,” I groaned. “What the hell?” I took a deep breath and started all over. “Cumhacht mo chroí, daingnigh mo lámha,Ceangail mo neart, stiúir mo bhrí.Le fuil agus anam, fan i gceart,Is mise an draoi, i gcothromaíocht sí.”Reciting the spell for control while I was losing control of my anger didn't do anything. I gave up and stood from the floor. “Hell, this is stupid!” I yelled and sat on my bed, fuming. My eyes went to the flickering candlelight on the bedside table. The flames mocked me. It had been days since Killian dared to ban me from training Celeste, and the rage inside me burned hotter than I remembered.Squeezing the sheets on the bed, my nail tore at the fabric. How dare he? How dare he stand between me and her? I hated his protectiveness. How was I supposed to mold her if I was locked out? Lord Malthus would not be pleased if he knew. I
