Alpha's Cursed Twain Chapter 29: Whispers in the Dark
Celeste’s POVI cleaned Vanessa's wound with a cotton stick and drugs. She flinched as I rubbed gently on the skin. My mind drifted back to an hour ago. Killian had looked downcast, and I felt pity for him.He wasn't the tough man on the inside like I thought he was. It made me realize he loved his pack members. That was why he was a better leader. His eyes turned sad yet had a huge layer of anger before he left the room. An audible voice rang in my ears, but I jerked the second it became clearer with a tap on my shoulder. “Celeste!” Vanessa's voice yelled. I snapped back to reality and blinked. “Girl, are you okay?” She asked. “I have been calling your name for a while. It's a good thing you ain't dead yet.”“Huh?” I groaned. “You're thinking of it, aren't you?” She asked. “That's why you zoned out.”“No,” I lied. “Uh,” she responded. “That's why you're pressing hard on my legs. You're going to give me a bruise.”I stopped

Celeste's POVI raised an eyebrow, unimpressed by Selene's drama. “Hell no,” I replied, snarling louder than I had meant to.Selene's smile only increased. "Afraid you'll lose?"I laughed and rolled my eyes. “I doubt,” I replied. “I just don't see the point.”I turned, walking away from her. She made me angry even without trying. I felt my heart pound as I moved forward.I wasn't stupid enough to believe Selene was up to anything good. Whatever she was after, it wasn't a plain fight.Walking down the training grounds and down the hill, I moved quickly, ignoring Vanessa's voice calling my name.

Killian's POVI stood there alongside the hill and watched them saddle up. Selene caught a glimpse of me and bent down before she passed by. I crossed my arms over my chest, hiding my face until Vanessa looked up at me. I stood stiff and unmoving, and she yanked on Celeste's arm, having her look over.Vanessa's mouth was open a fraction, and Celeste turned to follow her glance, almost jumping back when she saw me. Good. They should be afraid.She better have a good excuse for skipping the training.I'd been watching from the instant that Selene threw up her hand, muttering whatever spell she was. I saw how Celeste's body stiffened and how her eyes lit up when fire suddenly came into existence in her hand. That energy was not good. That was not

Celeste's POVI heard fast footsteps on the ground. My ears caught on, and Killian's must have, too. His hands rested on my waist, pulling me close and staring into my eyes even when he knew someone was closing in on us.“Killian,” I whispered.He didn't budge, only bringing his face closer to me.“Killian,” I called again, and the footsteps stopped. I turned instinctively to where I heard the movements and saw Logan appear from behind the trees. His expression was hard until he saw us and changed to surprise.My cheeks turned red in embarrassment, and I looked away."Uh-o

Killian's POVThe gates opened, letting my car and three others in. We drove and stopped at the entrance of the warehouse. I stepped out, taking a look at the area. It was quiet, and I adjusted the cuffs of my shirt.Logan and Victor got out of the car, closing the doors shut, and I walked towards the warehouse door. They followed with the other men.The second I got to the door, the men standing guard bowed. “Welcome, boss.”I raised my hand, accepting their greeting. “Open it,” I said.They nodded and pushed the door open. I stepped in, taking my men with me. As I stepped forward, the men inside beca

Selene’s POV The smoke wafted around me, and the smell of burning dirt and charred leaves was heavy in my lungs. Across the glade, Celeste was frozen, breathing in great gulps. The last sparks of the fireball she'd halted moments before burned out at her feet. Her fingers fluttered, as if she were still sensitized by the searing heat in her palm, as if she couldn’t register what she had done. I raised my eyebrow, masking the pleasure I derived from bloody being amused. She’s getting there. I had expected resistance. Wolves were relentless, driven by swiftness of instinct and the might of brute force, and never quite understanding the beauty of true power. But Celeste was different. She fought with intelligence. She would listen even when she claimed she wasn’t. And, above all, she didn’t escape from what was within her. Not yet, anyway. The trick was to keep her off-balance to rupture her just a little, to push her buttons just enough that she would turn to me for answers. Trust

Selene’s POVSunlight spilled through the open window and lay warm streaks of light across the wooden floor. The room smelt like wet wood. I hated the smell.I flipped through my spellbook on the old desk. It creaked and looked like it was about to break.My grimoire had an old leather cover and was rough on the tips of my fingers, and the ancient symbol on it glowed faintly. A smile curved on my lips as I whispered the incantation.“Briseadh na gcosc, sruth na cumhachta,oscail an doras, lig an neart sruthlú.”The pulse of energy

Celeste’s POVI felt the afternoon sun on my skin. Vanessa had warned me never to meet Selene alone. I still wanted to learn more from Selene, and I loved the thrill of magic on my hand. I felt powerful, unlike when I was with the pack. I kept glancing between Vanessa and Selene. They were literally on each other's throats, glaring at each other."Ehem," I coughed, taking them out of their silent war. They forgot I was with them. Selene's earlier outburst had turned from a triple staring contest into both of them talking with their eyes."Are you both done? cus I'm going inside," I said, tucking some loose strands of hair behind my ear.

Alpha's Cursed Twain Chapter 67: Traitor and Lucifer. Could You Get Any Worse?
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
Alpha's Cursed Twain Chapter 66: War of Words
Joan’s POVThe floor-to-ceiling windows opened to a forest beyond, and the cold wind slapped my cheeks as I stared at all that surrounded me. A faint light above the rain-slick streets below.From this height, everything looked small and worthless. My men flittered about like ants, carrying some covered lids of wooden boxes. When they walked into the building with some iron boxes, I smiled.“The orders have come,” I mumbled, returning to my chair. Then, without delay, I poured myself a glass of whiskey.I sipped and felt the burn that it gave my throat.I swirled the whiskey around my glass, examining how the bright light caught the amber liquid. Opposite me, two of my men stood

Celeste’s POVThat 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
Alpha's Cursed Twain Chapter 64: A Dangerous Game
Celeste’s POVIt became a war that simmered through the day.I had believed I was in control. I had assumed if I teased Killian under the breakfast table, or even in front of his friends, I’d gain the upper hand, I’d rattle his normally unshakeable dominance with my boldness.I had been very wrong.So wrong, but it hurt so good.Killian hadn’t even responded to my teasing, and he’d then made it his goal to torture me.The first time, it had been discreet. I had passed him in the hall, letting my fingers graze across his chest as I moved by, but before I could get out of his orbit, he had gripped my waist, his fingers splaying p
Alpha's Cursed Twain Chapter 63: The Game Begins
Celeste’s POVThe 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
Alpha's Cursed Twain Chapter 62: A Reckoning in Blood
Killian’s POVI looked down at Celeste, who was fast asleep. I sometimes wondered if she enjoyed living dangerously or was just amused by making me anxious.Why could not she follow simple instructions? Was she trying to provoke me into needing to use force? I hated seeing her scared after raising my voice, but she tested my patience.I locked the windows for the night and turned down the air conditioning so she wouldn’t catch a cold.“I feel like you are conspiring with the devil to expedite my stay in hell,” I said softly, lightly touching her cheek.I watched as she released
Alpha's Cursed Twain Chapter 61: Invoking The Alpha's Wrath
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
Alpha's Cursed Twain Chapter 60: Blood and Betrayal With An Angry Brother
Killian’s POV“Or? What? You'll kill me,” I said, and scoffed. “Better start now!”She leaned closer and whispered. “I don't like killing today. Think about my offer, are you interested?”I glanced at her, not raking my eyes off her for a second, and asked. “What do you want?”Joan stood in front of me, her lips curling into a knowing smile. “That’s what I wanted to hear,” she said, her voice dripping with satisfaction.She turned and walked to a table. I heard some keys clanking against each other. Was she really going to do it? She walked back to me with a smile and spoke calmly. “Remember, no funny business.”I didn’t respond, but she kept her gaze and I finally nodded. I also kept my eyes on her, calculating every possible angle. The walls came in around us, the air heavy with something nameless. The smell of damp stone and blood hung in the air, a testament to the fact that I had stepped into the lion’s den, and that the lioness before me was the one with the power.She spun an
Alpha's Cursed Twain Chapter 59: The Devil’s Bargain
Killian’s POVThe pain in my ribs was sharp and constant. My shirt was torn and soaked with blood. 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
