Chapter 25Celine POV'I won't spare you if you do anything stupid with Bryant' Those words felt like a dagger cutting through my chest and ripping my heart off. As much as it hurts that I won't be seeing Bryant often because I've been trying to keep my distance from him, I couldn't help it. I need to stay alive, if not for anything but for the sake of my brother. We've already lost our parents and I can't allow him to be all alone in this world again. I know the pain we went through when we lost Dad.It has been two days since the incident, and earlier this morning, Alpha Kayla left for the Pack after he got an urgent call that something came up there. I was curious to know if it was the normal Pack-to-pack war, but who the heck was I to ask him if I was not ready to write my death sentence? My time seeing Bryant since these few days have been limited, and although I miss him so much and desperately want to see him, I tried not to forget that I needed to keep my distance from him.My
Chapter 26Celine Coleman POV"Is...is it true?" My heart pounded hard against my chest as I stared at him, waiting for an answer while hoping he'd tell me that my hunch was right.It seemed like the world froze the moment he nodded his head, and then turned his face away. I scoffed unbelievably and took a step away from him when the realization dawned on me that I'd been making a fool of myself all along. This dude here has been in his right sense and might as well be the smartest person ever. What more was he hiding from me?"Yo...you are really not dumb?" I stuttered. I didn't know what more I needed to know when it was already obvious, but I just felt the need to be sure of the shit that was happening."Celine... We can talk about this, OK? We can really talk about it," He spoke up, his voice was laced with nervousness, but all I saw in his eyes was betrayal. I felt like a fool at that moment. Now that I thought about everything and started to connect the dots, it was starting to
Chapter 27Bryant Reed POV"Shit!" I cursed, running my fingers through my hair."This is not right... This is not fucking right... Everything is messed up," I mumbled as I sank my fingers into my hair frustratingly. I should've been more careful. "We need to make things right... I need to talk to her," I mumbled then picked up my phone from the nightstand and was set to dial her number, but I paused and sighed, giving it a second thought if this was something I should do or if I should just give up. She was yet to recover from the shock, so calling her here was going to make things difficult, but then, I needed to make sure everything was under control so Alpha Kayla wouldn't find out anything.After giving it a thorough thought, I finally dialed his number and waited patiently for her to answer the call and as expected, she ignored the call."Can you pick up, please?" I whispered, dialing her number for the second time, and when she didn't answer her phone, I decided to drop w text
Chapter 28Celine Coleman POV'Let's talk' I read his fifth message today but dropped my phone on the bed without replying to it. I wasn't in the mood, and seeing him at that moment was the last thing on my mind. 'Just because we had sex, does that make you think you have the right to say that to me?' I scoffed unbelievably and hugged my knees to my chest, the tears I'd been fighting back finally streamed down my cheeks."Look what he said to you. You should never have done that. You are nothing but a shameless cheap whore," I whispered as more tears streamed down my cheeks. My stomach grumbled loudly, so I clutched it and grimaced as the realization dawned on me that I hadn't had anything all day."Shit!" I cursed and was going to ignore it, but it sounded again and I knew better to get something to eat before I developed acidity again. I dragged myself into the bathroom and checked myself out in the mirror. My eyes were swollen from crying all day, my hair was disheveled, and my
Chapter 29Alpha Kayla watched as Alpha Draco of Blood Moon Pack slowly went through the papers he was holding, one after the other. "What is the meaning of this, Alpha Kayla? I told you to find the original documents of the company. Why are you wasting my time?" Alpha Draco who was always a busy man sneered angrily as he dropped the papers on the table and reclined on the chair."Those are the papers you asked for, Alpha...""Are you trying to say that I can't see well? These are not the original papers of the company. You want me to become business partners with you and invest in your company when you don't even have a full right over it? Are you planning to make me go bankrupt?" Alpha Draco slammed his hands on the table, enraged, and Kayla pulled a puzzled look."What do you mean?""We both know what I'm talking about. You can't come here and keep wasting my time. Let me know when you are ready to work with me. Until then, you wouldn't want to disturb me again. That's the way out
Chapter 30Bryant Reed POVLater that nightMy phone rang, and when I checked it, I saw that it was a call from Alpha Kayla. Why is he calling me this late? I asked myself and hesitantly picked up my phone and swiped the answer button."Hey, son," His annoying voice sounded from the other end, so I rolled my eyes and reclined in the wheelchair, throwing my head back."Hmm..." I replied to him bluntly."Have you eaten yet?" He asked, his voice laced with concern which I would've mistaken to be genuine if I didn't know the kind of person he was. He could always fool every other person, but definitely not me."Hmm," "I'm sorry, son. I have something to take care of back here, so I won't be able to come over to the mansion tonight. I'll try to come tomorrow," He explained as if I wanted him here. "Don't miss me too much, son. I will try and come over tomorrow," I scoffed silently when I heard those annoying ridiculous words from him. How could I miss him of all people? Never!"Hmm," Aga
Chapter 31Celine Coleman POVI tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time, unable to sleep even though I've been forcing myself to. My head was still occupied with his thoughts even though I didn't want to think about it. The imagination of the pain he has been through all these years wouldn't stop haunting me, and it only made me feel angry and sympathetic toward him, something he hated the most.'Can you pretend nothing happened?' I finally sat up on the bed when those words replayed in my head. Yes, that was going to be the best thing for him, but how could I pretend nothing happened? How could I pretend I didn't see anything when I did?I reached for my phone on the nightstand and unlocked it, welcomed by a text on the screen.'I'm sorry for putting you into a difficult situation. I will blame myself for everything. We don't have to keep seeing each other. We could just pretend we never met' I scoffed after I read through the text, waves of anger spurred through me."Pretend we nev
Chapter 32Celine Coleman POV"We need to talk," I said to him even though I wasn't sure of what I wanted to talk about."What do we need to talk about?" He asked me, his face laced with curiosity and questioning, so I swallowed nothing and went to sit on the bed."I'm sorry about how I lashed out at you the other day. I was just shocked and angry at that time," I began, but he only stared back at me with an unreadable expression on his face as if I was acting drama, and I had to ask myself if he heard what I said."I felt like I was fooled. That's why I was like that," I further said, but he continued to stare at me, and it was making me feel uncomfortable."Are you going to stare at me like that? I just told you that I'm sorry. What more do you want? Do you think it's fair?" I scoffed, and he raised his eyebrows but didn't bother to say anything to me."Are you not going to say anything, Bryant? I should be the one mad at you... You made a fool of me, ignored me, and you still told
