Chapter 51

Kaiden

Mirena converted the roof of my room into a shrine of some sort, and for the past few days, consulted the ancestors in preparation for the ritual. While she did that, the nerves ate away at my mind, and I spent my time pursuing leads that were close to what you would call a wild goose chase. I barely recognized myself anymore, and I barely slept, my mind plagued with thoughts I couldn't dismiss.

Was Celine still alive? Would I ever see her again?

“You are going to make yourself sick, Kaiden.” Sheila’s concerned eyes met mine and blinked twice, realizing that I had been staring into space for the last ten minutes.

I straightened in my chair, took the cup of tea I had been drinking, which was already cold, and drowned what remained of it.

Sheila sighed as she took the cup, and walked behind me. “You are so tense, let me.”

Her hands dug into my shoulder blades and I stiffened. Despite everything, Sheila was still Sheila. I didn't want her getting too close.

“Sheila…”

    Sheila“Your Highness! Did anyone see you come in?” Mirena asked in a hushed tone as I walked into her chambers where she was going to be staying for the next few nights. I ignored her servant girls and turned to her as she shut the door.“Do you have to keep these girls standing here? C can't they have their room?”Mirena glanced at her girls, and let out a soft chuckle. “They knew this was what they were getting into. And besides, they do not seem to be complaining.” Rolling my eyes, I sat on the couch, my legs crossing. “Wel,l whatever. I hope they are trustworthy because I would hate to hurt anyone if news of my plan comes out in the open.”My cold tone caused them to shiver as intended, and I hid a smile as I adjusted in my chair.Mirena shook her head. “None of that, Your Highness. They are more trustworthy than you think.”I brushed off the topic, eager to get what I was here for. “What did you see, Mirena?”Mirena’s smirk faded as she moved toward the small wooden table in t

    Chapter 53KaidenHealer Magnus wrapped me with bandages since the bleeding refused to stop, and I grunted as each movement sent sharp pain radiating through my side. The wound Mirena gave me on my chest ran deep and pulsated angrily. My wolf could barely handle the pain and was doing everything to keep me standing, and I wondered how day four might be if we didn't find Celine soon. “This is crazy,” Damon murmured as he helped me up the stairs to my room, his grip hard on my side, digging into my bandage.“I’ve had worse,” I grunted, though even I didn’t believe my own words. Physically, I haven’t, but the emotional turmoil surpassed this pain by miles.Damon scoffed. "Bullshit. You’re barely standing, Kaiden. You can’t keep doing this."I didn’t respond. There was no point. He wouldn’t understand.Celine was out there. She was alive. That was the only thing that mattered. I would push through every ounce of agony if it meant finding her. If it meant bringing her back.We reached my

    CelineI was due any day now. It was crazy how fast my baby grew compared to other wolf pregnancies which usually lasted for longer moons than mine. It was almost miraculous, and I was extremely excited to see my little bundle of joy. And hold him in my hands. “He’s going to have your eyes,” Mika said, but a part of me knew he was going to be a spitting image of his dad, to taunt me. But I would love every bit of him still just as I loved Kaiden.These were the thoughts I had, but my thoughts took a dark turn as one afternoon, days after Neil last came to see us, a black crow perched on the window sill, looking inside. I stiffened, memories of how I associated crows with bad luck when I was younger, and it being more than a coincidence coming back to me.“Go away.” I shooed it, but it returned almost immediately as if trying to prove a point. I picked up a slipper and threw it at the window, but the bird remained there, staring at me.“Ugh, stupid bird.” I cursed as my movements cau

    SheilaWashing my body slowly in the warm water, I didn’t bother getting up to know Neil’s letter has been found.I took a sip of my wine as I relaxed into the bath, letting the warm water envelop me and wash my stress away. It was a full-time job being ahead of everyone and incredibly smart.Now I was sure Kaiden had sent the best men he could to follow Neil’s scent, like the brainless lover boy he was. And just as I said, I heard the numerous growls of the transformed guards and the sound of the human-form guards riding their horses, confirming my prediction.Kaiden was just too predictable. It was almost too easy.A knock at the door pulled me from my relaxation, but I didn’t bother responding. Anyone who truly needed my attention would have the sense to come in. If they hesitated, then they weren’t worth my time.I took another slow sip of my wine, savoring the rich taste.Hmm… This was what being Queen got you. Exclusively aged wine from the start of the werewolf race, exotic spi

    MikaTraveling in the cold was one of the worst parts of living in the middle of nowhere, but it was nothing compared to knowing your only brother and your closest family were in trouble because he was his usual good self. One would think that being a good person was guaranteed to grant someone a good life of goodness, but it was the complete opposite. We suffered for our kindness.But people like Celine made it worth it. A while ago, I didn't understand why Neil was willing to get killed to protect her. When he told me the story of Celine saving our youngest sister when she came to visit before we sent her to live far away, my heart suddenly went out to her.I knew she was a true soul and nothing like what everyone said about her. I lived with her for a while and I didn't see the vile murderer they spoke about. I hoped she was okay. I felt terrible for leaving a heavily pregnant woman on her own, but I knew she was safe.Neil would freak out when he heard. He cared deeply for Celine,

    KaidenDamon was not around to help me, so a manservant helped me head up onto the roof, for the second round of the rituals. These past few fours made me realize how much I took being a wolf, an Alpha king, for granted. I hardly ever felt physical pain, but this was running me into the ground.I only hoped I was prepared for this next ritual. I did promise to do whatever it took to find her and I was ready to. Sheila was discussing with Mirena when I got there, and the minute she saw me, she rushed to my side, her gaze softening. “Aw Kaiden, you look extremely weak. After this, I would have to give you a hot water bath therapy.” she beamed.I studied her face, and her appearance, noticing something was different. I warmed up to seeing her. How did that happen? How did I feel comforted in her presence?She saw me study her face and her smile disappeared as she seemed to remember something.“Oh, if your mate allows that is. I may be your wife, but I know where we stand.”“Your Highnes

    SheilaThe sight we were met with when we entered Neil’s dungeon was that brought a smile to my face.Mirena had told me her plan the moment she captured the bastard’s sister, but I had my doubts, making up my mind to pick the pieces if it didn't work.It worked perfectly. Neil was frozen as we got in, his eyes pinned on his sister, empty col,d and unshaken. Instead, he stood rigid, his jaw clenched so tightly I could see the muscles twitching beneath his skin.Good.Mirena walked forward, her smirk triumphant. She knew exactly what she was doing."Nothing to say, Neil?" she taunted, circling him like a predator. "No threats? No clever retorts?"Neil didn't move, but I saw the flicker in his eyes. Anger. Desperation.His sister was barely conscious, slumped against the chain, her breathing labored as she struggled to heal against the torture she went through protecting Celine. It was almost poetic. She and Kaiden going through the same pain for opposite reasons. Kaiden to find her, Mi

    KaidenPain.It pulsed through my veins like a fire. Since the ritual was over, I was no longer bleeding, but since the wound cut way too deep, it was taking my already weak wolf forever to heal since I already used up all my energy level.To breathe hurt, to think hurt, to even exist hurt.But I refused to let my pain stop me from going to claim my bride and ripping Neil apart when I saw him.A loud groan left my lips as I struggled to transform into my wolf, hoping that would speed up the healing process. I gripped the sheets hard, tears falling onto the bedsheet as I dealt with blinding pain, and failing miserably. My wolf couldn't come out, and I was stuck on the bed like a pathetic little bitch.But I refused to allow Celine to see me like this. I had a lot of making up to do and I needed to be healed for that.Taking in a deep breath, I hoisted myself off the bed only for my legs to buckle beneath me.I caught myself on the nightstand, sharp gasps leaving my lips as another wave

    CelineThe cold was gripping and goosebumps had spread all over my body from how wet I was as we burst out of the cave and made it to the opening. My gasps were swallowed by the amount of water that was crashing into the cave around us. Kaiden’s hand was tightly wrapped around my waist as he held both me and my mother above the raging water as we fought to get to the edge of the hidden passage that had led us into the underwater cave. We had only barely made it out. I looked down at my mother—the woman who had gone against all odds to have me and had risked her life just so I could be protected. She was no unconscious in my arms from the exhaustion of running after only just waking up. Her dark hair was soaked and it clung to her face and I couldn’t help but stare at her and acknowledge just how beautiful she was. I had never thought I would meet my mother or a woman who truly loved me but now, having her in my arms was the best thing ever. “Hold her,” I said as my lips trembled,

    Celine“I-I am… I…” I started to say but I was at a loss for words, I quickly raised my hand to my face and wiped my tears away. “That doesn’t matter for now. What is more important is getting you out of here.”“Where are you taking me—“ she started but didn’t let her finish.I stood up straight and gestured for Kaiden to move closer to me. We helped her stand and though her limbs were weak from being unused, we could manage with it. She stumbled but Kaiden caught her and I steadied her, Kaiden looked away from us and towards the other coffin. “What about the other coffin?” He asked as he slightly nodded his head towards it. “It belongs to King Charles and he was the first alpha king. No one has dared to touch it for centuries.”My ears perked up at his words and I couldn’t help the curiosity that flickered inside me. “Let’s check it out,” I said as I looked away from him and stared back at my mother who was now standing by herself. “What if there is something important in there th

    CelineOut of nowhere two guards walked closer to us, their steps far and their boots silent against the rocky floor of the cave grounds. I was scared and I hid behind Kaiden almost immediately even though my mask was still hiding my face but my body was exposed from the torn parts of my clothes and I couldn’t risk it.The weight of everything that had been happening pressed heavily in my chest and I couldn’t wait to see all that was hidden beneath the surface of the cold and possibly cursed cave. Kaiden walked away from me and the guards stood at attention as he addressed them. I had no idea what they had discussed or the other he had given them but with a single wave of his hand, the guards bowed and turned away without a backward glance.He walked over to me and flashed me a bright smile. “I told them that I had important things to do here and being the one in charge of the key to the cages, they didn’t question it,” he said in a soft tone, slightly gesturing towards the inner are

    Celine “So you have superpowers?” He asked as he couched an eyebrow at me. I shrugged in response. “I mean… it’s not like I can fly or anything but I can tell when something is wrong. I can feel the lies in someone’s words. Turn into a ghost and walk past people without being noticed and many more. It’s not what I expected but I was more than happy to discover them.”“That’s not fair,” he said under his breath, pretending to be angry and offended. “I only just got better at swordplay and being part of a team.”I laughed, really laughed, hard and aloud. Then he grinned like he hadn’t seen me smile in forever and he was happy to see me smile again. And honestly, he hadn’t. Then, the smile slowly faded from his face and his voice became quiet once again. “Anya. What really happened between the both of you…”I nodded as I let out another sigh for the umpteenth time. “Like I told you, I have powers that I didn’t understand then and that time she put my life at risk so the soldier that

    CelineThe sun was starting to set and starts were beginning to litter across the night sky. Kaiden hadn’t let go of my hand ever since we sat down on the blanket he had placed on the rooftop. And I didn’t want him to, not yet. Maybe not ever. He kept stealing glances at me like he couldn’t belive that I was real or even alive. Maybe I couldn’t either. After everything that had happened, being here together in the quiet after the raging storm felt like I was waking up from a nightmare and walking into something that felt peaceful and out me at ease. I still couldn’t believe that not only had Kaiden sent the dress to me, he had also planned out a picnic for us to bond and talk. I owed him the truth. All of it without holding any bit of information back. “I hve to tell you everything now,” I finally spoke up, my voice that was barely above a whisper slicing through the quiet and silent night air. “No more lies or hiding.”His hand tightened around mine, squeezing it reassuringly. “I

    Kaiden“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I was saying?” Lucan barked. I didn’t listen to him, I couldn’t hear him over my raging anger. “Let’s go,” I said as I turned to Celine, grabbing her by the wrist and pulling her towards the door. I paid no attention to him, not his bedding, not his cursing nor the malicious words he spat out as we walked out of his room. Nothing mattered to me except the woman whose hands shook in mine. Her breath was coming out in soft shallow gasps and the beautiful mask on her face was out of place with her dress torn. Seeing her so silent and shaky broke my heart into a million pieces. Lina. Celine. She was real. Alive and in my hands. And I had almost lost her again to the stupid man. I barely knew where I was headed nor did I notice the staircase that we stepped on as I led upward—past the chambers set aside for kings and alpha, the meeting halls and through a hidden door that no one else but me knew existed. It was a shortcut I had used to esc

    Celine I ran away from the ballroom breathlessly, bumping into anyone who stood my way as I turned the corridors, wanting to get as far away as Kaiden as I could. “I’ve always loved you and had hoped you were still out there…”His words echoed in my head and no matter how much I tried to stop it, it didn’t. My heart was pounding and I was terrified, Kaiden knew. He had known all along even when I had tried my best to hide it. And worse than that was the realization that the time that I thought I had was slipping out of my hands. Stop! Focus Celine, you have to get the key before we’re exposed, the tiny voice at the back of my head echoed. I stopped running, my heart was still racing as I tried to catch my breath. I had run as far away as I could and I needed to remain level headed and calm for the next step in my plan. There was absolutely no reason for me to barge into Lucan’s room out of breath and anxious, he would definitely think something was up and I couldn’t risk it. I

    KaidenCeline and I glided across the dance floor, we were in sync like we were born to do this. We fit perfectly and I couldn’t help but admire how beautiful she looked in the dress I had picked just for her. I knew she might have been wondering who had sent her the dress but I could tell realization had dawned on her and she knew who it was when she set her eyes on me. I felt a strange sense of tranquility settle over me. For the first time in months, I felt complete and I felt at peace. The music played on and we kept dancing but I didn’t want the night to end, hell I didn’t want to stop dancing with her. There was something about the way she moved and the way her finger trembled slightly in mine. It made my chest ache, not from pain but from joy and familiarity. I had underestimated just how much I had missed her and now that I had her back in my arms, I didn’t want to let go. Not for anything. Her fingers slightly trembled in my hands and my chest ached with familiarity. I

    CelineI walked into the grand halls, my steps were light but filled with purpose. The room was decorated beautifully and as I stepped further into the room, the light radiating from the chandelier caught into the sun themed design of my dress. It was golden, amber and radiant and I couldn’t help but admire the intricate designs of the gown. I felt and looked both elegant and powerful. I was unrecognizable, even to myself and if I couldn’t recognize myself then no one would. Focus on finding Lucan and not admiring yourself, a tiny voice at the back of my mind said, reminding me of what I was truly there for. I couldn’t help but feel nervous as I went over my plan of seducing Lucan, getting every information about the key and cage from him and then going to release my mother so we could escape. But despite my anxiety, I was determined to follow through with my plan. Letting out a deep breath, I walked to the corner of the room and my eyes started scanning the length of the room. It
