Celeste's POV

I kept staring at my hand, expecting a miracle, but nothing happened. It was all my imagination.

I was perfectly fine. At least, I said to myself a hundred times.

When I was sure I had convinced myself, I laid back in bed and inhaled.

There was something odd about the smell. It smelt a bit woody, just like Killian.

I inhaled again, and this time, the scent grew stronger.

“What the heck?” I muttered, sitting up on the bed.

I traced the smell to the sheets. It grew stronger and I brought my nose down.

I had never been able to pick the scent before. Not as strong as this.

I looked around, and my eyes locked on the full-length mirror across the room.

My hands reached for the shirt, moving the collar down and stared at the birthmark. I waited, expecting something, but nothing happened.

I sighed and looked away. It was pointless. Why did I ever think something would happen?

Standing up, I moved towards the door and my bone ached. I had moved too fast and I fell to the floor.

    Killian’s POV“You don't trust her, do you?” Logan’s voice reached my ears as he stepped into my office. “What do you mean?” I asked, looking up from the papers on the table. “Her. The new girl,” he continued. “Oh, that. When has anyone ever gained my trust that easily?” I replied. “You can never change. You keep answering every question with another question,” Logan complained. “Hmm,” I replied and relaxed on my chair. “Answer my question,” Logan pressed. I looked up, looking into his green eyes. “Not yet.”“Yet?” Logan asked. “Oh, I see. You're going to test her.”“Don't I ever?” I replied and he smiled. “At least let me test her,” Logan said, looking very enthusiastic.I smirked and answered. “Be my guest.”I watched him get his ass swapped the next day. Celeste was stubborn. I knew that the seconds she challenged Logan. But as I watched her now, something shifted inside me. Just a little.She had her arms crossed while watching the men train. Logan walked to my side, and

The voices merged, into a single, ear-shattering roar inside of me.Then, suddenly...The door slammed wide with such force, causing the walls to shake.My

    Celeste’s POVI woke up with the ghost of his touch on my forehead. Killian had been…gentle?He hadn't taken advantage, kissing me goodnight on my forehead and I wasn't ready for this side of him. Then, I remembered Vanessa. It felt unfair to think about my own happiness and let her be in that state. Without thinking, I got out of bed, wore my slippers, and ran out of the room. I stopped myself in time before I crashed on the maids carrying a vase.I barely made it two steps before I collided with a maid.“Watch it,” she snapped, shoving past me. Another scoffed, “Ugh, should’ve known she’d be in the way.”I clenched my jaw but kept walking. They weren't worth it. When I got there, she was awake looking around the room in confusion until she spotted me and smiled in relief. “Celeste,” she called and I rushed to her side. “Where are we? Where am I?” She asked, taking my hand. “A packhouse,” I answered, not wanting to scare her. She looked at me and pinched my hand. “Ouch,” I gro

Had I really let my anger get the best out of me for the past years?My memory replayed the past. It has been three years. Flashbacks:Obsidian PackMy men and I arrived at the packhouse. I got out of the car. The stench of blood filled everywhere. One of my betas ran out towards me as he sighted me. “Alpha Killian!”“Fred, what's going on here?” I asked.“It's Sam. He's leading the rogue wolves. He wants to challenge you,” Fred answered. “How dare he?” I thundered and moved forward pulling out the gun from my waist. I got in, the men fighting, shooting against each other. Unlike my men, Sam's men had the numbers in their favour. I shot at them, taking them out. From the corner of my eyes, I spotted an enemy firing his gun. I pushed Fred away just in time. I had little to react when a huge rogue wolf appear

    Killian’s POVI stepped out of my office, rolling my shoulders as I headed towards the large glass window. My body felt stiff from sitting for hours and I massaged my arm as I watched the pack's outdoor dining area from the window. It was lunchtime, and I always gave my men the freedom to eat anytime. They needed it. I was about to look away when Celeste and the maid entered with trays of food. I hadn't asked anyone to make her a maid. Flora was going to answer me. She served the food with the other maids and she looked nervous. That was the job for the maids, not her. The men talked loudly as they ate. A few were focused on her and I leaned closer to the glass, my finger curling into a fist. One of the men, Riker, let his hand drift too close to her waist. He dared!Celeste felt it and moved away. Riker laughed with his friends, saying something to each other. I watched Celeste's face turn pale. She tried to ignore him and served the next person when his hand gripped her wris

    Killian’s POVI held her hand when she didn't move and led her out of the dining hall. I was pissed, pulling her as I walked, climbing the stairs, and swung the room’s door open. She stumbled in, and I closed the door, grabbing hold of both her hands. “What were you doing?” I asked, a little bit louder than I hoped. “What do you mean?” She replied. “Out there. With them?” Celeste batted her eyelashes and finally understood what I was saying. “Serving,” she answered. “Since when did I ever make you a maid?” I questioned. She pulled her hands, trying to get free. “I was just helping.”“Helping? I never asked you to. That's the maid's work!” I yelled. “I know, but…” she started. “I don't care. I don't want to see you there again,” my voice rocked coldly. Letting my grip loosen, she pulled back slightly. I watched her breath, her face turning red and she glared at me. “That's it!” She breathed. “I have had it with you, your stupid rules and dragging me down to hell!” She yelle

It was warm against my skin.The air was filled with the smell of my blood and sweat and probably the old cell. It reeked of death and suffering. I wanted to puke myself every time I inhaled it. My arms were tired from being tied, but I made myself stay still.Joan stood beyond the rusted bars, watching me. Her face didn’t show what she was thinking, but she looked like she was in control, even with the dim light flickering above. Her face had lines that spoke of her experiences, yet there was something unnatural about her.Crazy woman. Crazy brother and maybe a crazy

The cuffs cut into my skin, causing a burning sensation, while the effects of the gas left me feeling weak and off-balance.Gradually, my vision cleared, revealing the cold concrete floor, old, rusted chains fixed into the walls, and Sam standing in front of me, a smug grin on his face.Sam laughed as he paced back and forth. "You always thought you were untouchable, big brother. But look at you now... trapped like an animal in a cage." His voice was full of satisfaction.I clenched my teeth. "Having fun, Sam?" I asked in an even voice, trying to hide the anger boiling inside me.Sam let out a soft laugh, pulled a chair closer, and sat down with a victorious air. "You really don’t understand, do you? This is more than just capturing you. It’s about breaking your spirit."I moved my fingers, testing the strength of the cuffs. "Do you think these chains can keep me here forever?"Sam's

"Let's talk and sort this out."But they ignored me, only paying attention to each other.The forest was filled with the noise of their fierce battle. Growls echoed through the air as Vanessa attacked Selene. Vanessa's black fur stood on end, and her golden eyes were full of fury. She moved like the wind, her claws and teeth flashing with incredible speed and power. The ground shook with every strike she landed.Selene barely had time to react. Quickly, she raised her hands and summoned a glowing shield of energy just in time to block Vanessa's sharp claws. Sparks flew when the claws hit the shield, but the force still pushed Selene backward.Vanessa was relentless in her attack.She gave Selene no time to recover as she lunged again, even faster and stronger, driven by sheer anger.

The forest felt alive, and the rustling leaves seemed to cheer as we walked.The heat stuck to my skin as I stood in the clearing, trying to catch my breath, my body aching from many failed tries.“Again,” Selene's voice cut through the heavy air.I clenched my fists in frustration. My heart was racing as I tried to reach the wolf spirit inside me that wouldn’t respond. I felt it stir for a moment, but then something pushed back from the inside, rejecting me.A sharp pain burst in my chest. Immediately, a powerful force pushed me back, and I groaned, flying backwards without control over my body.Everything blurred as the ground rushed toward me.Before I crashed into a tree, a pair of strong arms caught me, and I smelled the earth and wind. It was Vanessa."Enough!" Vanessa growled, holding me steady while I tried to breathe. "She’s not ready, Selene. You’re pushing her too hard."Selene s

The warmth of the sun streaming comfortably through a gap in the window did little to mitigate the gravity falling on me. Something was off. My body felt slow, and my head was dense, as if something had crept into my brain when I wasn’t looking.Vanessa sat with her legs crossed on the floor, rubbing her elbow, her lip twisted with anger. As soon as we spotted each other, we spoke in unison “Did you feel that?”I went first, nodding. “Yeah. It's so creepy. Almost like we have someone else in here,” I whispered. “Why are you whispering? You're making this shit more scary,” Vanessa replied. I looked at the window. It was open and the wind moved in with ease. “Maybe, it's the wind.”Vanessa turned to look at the window and back at me as quick as a lightening. “Yeah, no. I doubt some little wind is supposed to give me this icky feeling.”“What do you mean?”

    Killian’s POVThe night had a sharp bite with the wind whispering over the rusted metal of the shipping containers. The yard was expansive, extending in all directions like a steel cemetery, stacked containers with their sides up creating a maze of frozen iron.My team stepped as one, our feet whispering against the pavement, our bodies trembling at what waited.Logan paced beside me, his eyes roving the darkened yard, and his fingers drifting low, near his knife. Victor was a step behind him, his gun in a tight grip, with quick steady breaths. All the men here had been lethal in their own right, trained to wartime combat, but the silence of the place was wrong.The Odor of the sea mingled with something damp, a fouler—oil, rust, and blood.It was a fresh kill.I held up a fist to signal a stop. The others immediately stood still. Victor nodded, opening his mouth, and took a breath. “Something is close.”Logan reached for his gun. “Could be a trap.”It was always a trap. I only had

    Killian’s POVThe underground medical hub was colder than normal. The lingering smell of antiseptic hung in the air, overlaid the dried blood and sweat. The machines beeped at steady intervals, but the mood in the room was anything but stable.My colleagues and I circled the restrained corpse of Elias Carter, a man whose name had appeared in the news for three weeks straight as a missing person.Now he was here and hardly human. I was not prepared to explain to him the process of what it's like becoming a wolf. They were so mad when they found out.And Sam was going too far. But if the cops found out about this, it would cause an uproar. I didn't want anything to happen that would upset the human and supernatural treaty. It’s taken us centuries to make a deal like that.His change wasn’t like the others. The victims who had come before him had been poisoned, their bodies bent beyond repair, but Elias was different. There was no rot in evidence, no blackened veins, no sickly pallor. Hi

    Killian’s POVIt was a stinking, cloying scent of something man-made that hung in the wind in a smell of rain and smoke. Victor’s voice sliced through the comms, crisp and urgent.“He’s here. I think Sam is here, Alpha.”The words coursed through me. My pulse pounded as I looked to my team, Logan next to me, Victor was several steps back, and a dozen of my best wolves fanned out and were prepared to act. Sam had entered my domain. He was either careless or scheming. And if I knew Sam, he was reckless never.“Let’s move,” I said, and I was already leaving.Their boots thundered on pavement as we barreled through the streets, our wolves on high alert. The city stretched out beyond blinking lights and shadows. Some places were quiet, abandoned, while others thrummed with life and ignorant humans moving along the sidewalks, cars cruising by, oblivious to the hunt taking place around them.Victor guided us down an alley, with his nose. “His scent is here.”I smelled it too. It was faint an

And if I wasn’t careful, she could sense something that how we’re out of order.Celeste made her way to her dresser, raking a hand through her hair. She came dangerously close to me and I had to step aside quickly to avoid her crashing into me.She took a brush, mindlessly dragging it through her hair as she talked to herself. Then, with a weary sigh, she trudged toward the bed.I followed close behind, my excitement building.Celeste climbed on top of the bed, propping herself against the pillows and closing her eyes. In a matter of moments, her breathing had slowed.“Finally, I thought you'll never sleep,” I whispered. I approached, observing her in silence. So vulnerable. So unaware.I raised my hand in a similar wave over her body and whispered a spell under my breath.Once or twice, her chest rose and fel
