Celeste's POV.I stayed at a corner in the room while Lucian approached the woman. I honestly would prefer to be home with him, but I guess someone else needed him more.She turned when she saw Lucian by her side with a weak smile that was too bright for someone who was close to death."I don't know whether to say thank you for saving my life or get ashamed that I get to meet someone as handsome as you under this kind of circumstance."Really?She was barely out of the woods, and the first thing she could comment on was on Lucian's facial structure.I saw Lucian smile a little. "There's no need to get ashamed. I think you'd be dissatisfied if an ugly person saved your life."His comment made her crack up on her bed until she began to cough a little, forcing Lucian to calm her down. "That's the funniest thing I've heard in my life, but you're right", she sighed with a tired smile."How did you get poisoned?"Lucian's question made that smile fade away into a pale, dreamy saddened face

Celeste's POV.Tired, fulfilled mornings. That had been the occurrence since this vacation began.I laid on the bed like an unmovable log of wood, my hair scattered and my limbs all over the place. I could feel the late morning sun shine against the window behind me, but my brain did not reckon that I needed to get up and start my day.Well, I couldn't be blamed. There was no woman who would sleep in Lucian's arms and wake up so early in the morning. How his arms were so firm and yet so comfortable was something I would never understand. It was one thing to have him in the bed with me, but the feeling of his whole body enveloping me all night long was a sedative om its own that I couldn't get enough of.The best part of it was that I didn't have to ask for it. The way he took charge of my body was made the butterflies flutter each time I thought about it.Speaking of...For some reason, there was this hunch that the bed was empty. I aimlessly felt for him with my eyes closed, but he wa

Lucian's POVI couldn't tell where I got the strength from, but the more the image of a helpless, bleeding and unconscious Celeste flashed through my head, the more rage coursed through my veins.I could see his eyes widen in shock when he saw my face, and I could tell he wanted to start begging for mercy and for breath, but my grip allowed no words to pass through his throat. He tried all he could to take my hands away from his neck, but with my claws hooking his flesh, he only managed to end up hurting himself."What are you still doing there?! Let's get the fuck out of here while we still can!! We can get to the border and get out of this city if we move now!!", One of his colleagues yelled from where he stood.He tried to signal desperately for help, but I immediately dragged him towards me, slamming him to the door with full force over and over until I saw his head break and bleed from his eyes.I left his lifeless body to crumble to the ground and I bursted the door open."Who t

Lucian's POV.It was my fault. As my eyes rested on Celeste's unconscious on the hospital bed, I beat myself up multiple times.I thought I was umto something good when I saved Evelyn. Little did I know that it was going to lead to this chaos. I was stupid to have ignored Evelyn's threats. I should have handled everything there and then before leaving that warehouse.I wasn't going forgive myself if Celeste didn't survive this. I felt blunt pain everytime I moved, but it was nothing compared to the fear and rage that had refused to let go of me.I felt a buzz in my phone, and I checked to see that it was a call. The last thing I wanted to do was talk to anyone, but it was the only way I could silence the rebuking voices in my head."Cassian", I muttered under my breath immediately I picked the call, so Celeste wouldn't be disturbed."First of all,. please tell me that she's okay." He said, the worry in his voice matching the worry on my face as I sent a glance at unconscious Celeste.

Lucian's POV.I closed my eyes, and by the time they popped open, I couldn't recognize them from the reflection on Malcolm's dilated pupils.The look on his face looked like he'd seen a demon in real time, and he wasn't wrong for thinking so."Wh... Who the fuck are y-"I took my arm back and gave him a full swing to his jaw. Upon impact, I felt his jawbone shatter into powder, but the force drove him straight through the ceiling, making the ceiling fan slice him a few times before sending him crashing to the ground."Arghhh!! Uncle!!", Evelyn shrieked in a horrifying sight. With the amount of blood that oozed from his head, it was obvious he was going to die in a few minutes. I could walk out of here knowing my job was done, but my wolf wouldn't have any of that."You want to know who the fuck I am?", I grunted with smoke exuding from my nostrils. "I'm not your typical werewolf. I'm a werewolf that shouldn't be messed with. I'm the prince of Silvermist pack, and a beast when you sho
