The Alpha's Retribution Twenty.
(Celina's POV)I was back to my monotonous daily life. I hadn't seen Landon in weeks, but I should have known that was going to happen once I said no to his offer. But it didn't make it any easier.“I'm home.” I called out as I walked into the cabin. I sighed as I threw my shoes to the side and fell on my bed.There was no response.I sat up and looked around. There was no one.I stood up and looked outside at the unfinished project Austin had started. There they were.Austin and I's eyes met as he was having sex with Paige.I was frozen there. I didn't know what to do—do I look away and pretend I didn't see them? But I have already seen them; does it matter if I don't stop looking?Then I realized that I was still looking at Austin while I thought this, so I turned around and awkwardly walked back to my bed.Paige and Austin walked in a while later. Paige seemed very happy.“Oh, you're home?” Paige asked.Austin smirked, “Like what you saw?” He asked, clearly trying to make me squir

(Celina's POV)I carefully placed the hot cup of coffee in front of her.“Be careful. It's hot.” I warned as I took a seat opposite her.She gave me a soft, charming smile as she said, “Thank you.”“So, I'm Celina.” I introduce myself.“Bella,” she said with a smile.“So, Bella,” I said, “what is a beautiful girl like yourself doing in this small town of ours?” I asked curiously.She chuckled and replied, “I could ask you the same question.”“I was raised here. Then the werewolves took over, and we weren't allowed to leave.” I replied honestly.She frowned as she narrowed her eyes: “What do you mean you aren't allowed to leave?”I would have chuckled at the situation if my parents hadn't died because of the said situation.I shook my head and said, “You are new here, and I don't want to make you leave before you even get the chance to see the good side of the town.”She smiled and said, “I have met a nice person, and I hope we can be friends. I don't think I'll be leaving anytime soo

(Isabella's POV)I shot up from my sleep when I heard the sound of the front door being closed. My instincts were heightened, and my eyes were glowing blue in the dark.I slowly got out of bed and made my way to my bedroom door. Before I could open it, someone else did.“What the hell?!” Landon yelled, startled to see me standing there.I frowned and asked, “Where did you come from at this time of night?”He sighed, “I couldn't sleep, and I needed to get out and take a walk.”He walked past me, and I got the scent of someone else that wasn't me or his. It was unfamiliar.“Where did you go?” I asked as I closed the door to our room.“I don't really feel like talking about it; let's just go to sleep.” He stated as he jumped into bed after taking off his shoes.I joined him, but being close to him, I could smell the scent. It was strong.I took a deep breath, not wanting to overthink it and deciding to give him the benefit of the doubt.But as much as I tried to ignore it, I couldn't. W

(Celina’s POV)Brody and Bella were getting along very well by the end of the day, which made me question my morals if I was being honest.Bella was married, but she clearly wasn't happy; she seemed very happy with Brody though.“Bella, aren't you supposed to be going back home to your husband?” I asked.“Shoot!” She said as she turned and smiled at Brody, “I do have to go.”“Let me walk you.” Brody offered.She quickly declined the offer.“I would love to spend more time with you, but I don't want to risk having you meet with my husband.” She explained.Weird, I thought, why would she be afraid of that?“It is getting dark. Are you sure?” Austin asked.She nodded as she stood up.“Thank you for the fun time, guys, and thank you for inviting me, Celina. I did meet very interesting people here.” She said while looking at Brody.Brody walked her a few feet away.“Am I the only one who is seeing how those two are vibing?” Austin asked.“Yeah, she is definitely going to cheat on her husba

(Celina’s POV)For some weird reason, I woke up feeling energized and hopeful for the day. It felt like, for once in my life, nothing was weighing on me. I was beginning to wonder if all I needed all along was to get out of that town.I stretched as I walked out of the room, which Paige and I shared. We were becoming close; I considered her to be my best friend, but I was unsure if she felt the same way.I could smell freshly baked bread. I stepped into the kitchen and smiled.“I didn't know you could bake.” I startled Brody, and he dropped the tin he was holding but was able to catch it before it could hit the ground.He looked at me and said, “I didn't mean to overreact; I forgot I had people living here now.”I shook my head, “no worries,” and I walked up to him, “nothing has broken.”I looked at the bread he had prepared, “You know we are like four people now, right?”He sighed as he removed the mittens. “I realized that when you snuck up on me.”“I could make my special omelett

(Austin’s POV)I was originally a werewolf for a different pack. I was doing really well too; I was born into the Alpha bloodline, and I was supposed to become the next Alpha.My brother was teaching and mentoring me for when I took over.“A good leader needs to be able to listen to the advice of his people. Remember a pack can only be as happy as its least happy werewolf.” He would say.I was motivated too.I woke up early, did my chores, and then I would go out and master what I had been taught.I could feel myself getting stronger with each passing day.Then, as great as everything was going, everything came crashing down when I was found with blood in my hands and a dead pack mother on my feet, with no explanation to give.I expected my brother to believe me, but he did lose his mate, and he banished me out of the pack.I was determined to prove my innocence, so I did my

(Celina’s POV)After almost a week of us being there, it was time we actually followed through with our plans to travel and see the world. I had no idea how we were going to start that journey but I was trying to be carefree.“Tomorrow?” Brody asked, surprised when we told him we were leaving, “I think it's too soon for you to go.”I smiled, “You knew this day would come; why are you being weird?”He pulled me in for a hug, saying, “I enjoyed your being here, and I am not ready for you to leave.”“Don't worry, I will keep an eye out on her like I have always done.” Austin chimed in.I chuckled as I pulled back from the hug, “You wouldn't have to; Lucas will be coming with us.”“He will?!” Austin and Paige said it in unison.Paige sounded excited, but Austin didn't seem too pleased with the revelation.“W

(Landon’s POV)I had been trying so hard to give Celina her space like she asked me to. I even stopped being creepy and following her all the time, not that she knew I followed her.Isabella entered the bedroom smiling, “How about we do something today, just the two of us?” She asked in a chirper tone.I sighed.“Not feeling it.” I said as I walked out of the room.I hated myself for being a terrible mate, but I didn't ask for this; she wasn't who I wanted and Connor knew that. But apparently being a young Alpha doesn’t leave room for much of a choice.Deciding to just maybe visit the cabin as Celina would be at work, just to be around her scent. Help me feel closer to her in someway.I reached the cabin, and it wasn't as spotless as it usually was. It was dusty, like no one had been there in days.I frowned, then I started to panic.Did something happen to her?

The Alpha's Retribution Epilogue.
[Two and a Half Years Later.]As you approach the manor, a striking fusion of modern elegance and timeless charm unfolds before your eyes. The exterior, draped in various shades of soothing grey, exudes an air of both welcoming warmth and upper-class sophistication.Lucas and Celina wanted to build a home but they never thought it would turn out this beautiful. It had taken time for them to get to this point and they had. Together.Paul’s father, Alan, had been sceptical about pouring money into Lucas’ project. If Lucas’ father didn’t want to do this why did he have to?But he’s leap in faith had worked, and together with Lucas and Celina, they had bought other manors that they had made to be a safe haven for werewolves.Hiding in plain sight.Celina wiped the sweat off her forehead, she had been working on her garden for most of the morning.Not like they wanted for anything but Celina w

(Four Months Later)(Third Person’s POV)Jane couldn’t help but smile when she felt the warm, familiar kiss on her cheek. She had never been one to believe in love, but with Landon, she had no control over her heart. He had a way of making her feel safe and loved, and she couldn’t imagine her life without him.“Good morning, sunshine,” Landon whispered in her ear, his voice still husky from sleep.Jane couldn’t help but feel a flutter in her stomach every time he called her that. “Why are you up so early?” she asked, still feeling groggy from the early hour but a smile still plastered on her face.“I could ask you the same thing. Why are you asleep at this time of the morning?” Landon replied, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He reached for her hand and kissed it gently, his touch sending shivers down her spine. “You used to be the early riser, remem

(Celina’s POV)I felt like sleeping beauty when I woke up.I could barely remember half of what happened but I didn’t catch a small bit about Belinda not being the motherly person I thought she was.Lucas was beside me when my eyes flattered open.He smiled when I looked at him, “welcome back to the land of the living.”“You make it sound as though I was dead.”He chuckled, “you have no idea the rucks that ensued once you turned into…” he stopped, looked at me and shook his head, “I am just happy to have you back.”I tried to get up and Lucas was on his feet ready to help me.“Are you trying to protect me from something?”Lucas looked at me confused.“I heard the entire thing with Belinda. Maybe Paige should have let her get her revenge.” I stated, “remember how I felt when we found about the old man P
The Alpha's Retribution Sixty-Five.
(Third-person POV)Belinda had vanished, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was concerned with Celina to slip away.But the rest of the group was confused.They turned to Paige; they needed answers to the bomb she had just dropped in front of everyone.“How did you know about Belinda?” Adolphus was the first to ask.Everyone would have expected he would have been the first to know and inform everyone, but he didn’t.It did leave a bad taste in Brody’s mouth.Brody had decided to come here to spend time with Celina, his sister, and maybe use this time as vacation, as he hardly ever left his small village.“The better question should be how you didn’t know.” Lucas definitely wasn’t pleased with this new information.They had made a plan with both of them. Celina had been suspicious and didn’t trust either Adolph
The Alpha's Retribution Sixty-Four.
(Belinda’s POV)This was the night.The night when every meticulous plan of mine was supposed to come to fruition.I had been working towards this moment for what felt like an eternity, lurking in the shadows, orchestrating everything to perfection.It wasn’t an easy feat, especially with the unexpected visits from guests at the manor. But their presence only added fuel to my carefully laid-out schemes.I thought I had accounted for every possible obstacle and every potential threat. But then there was Celina. A sharp, observant woman who almost unravelled all my efforts with her sudden departure when she found out she was a werewolf.But then there was Adolphus.Ah, Adolphus.His loyalty and cunning mind were just what I needed to salvage the situation. However, the night took an unforeseen turn. A turn I never could have predicted.My past, with all its dark secrets, came knocking at my doo
The Alpha's Retribution Sixty-Three.
(Jane’s POV)I didn’t have to do much to get Landon’s attention away from me. Even I froze when my eyes locked on where Landon was facing.There was a werewolf that seemed to have sensed our arrival and was looking right at us, but Landon didn’t even seem to notice, with his eyes transfixed at… my gaze following his.What the hell was going on here? I wondered as I looked at the werewolf, strung up like a sacrifice.Landon almost instinctively lunged towards the werewolf, who now had its back turned to us. Celina, I guessed, as I watched him confront the other werewolves, who were now attentive and standing guard.I looked at the door and headed for it. If my research was right, Theresa, the witch, would be able to reverse the curse. It had been someone in her bloodline—her mother was my guess—so she should do just fine.At least that is what I hoped.The door was open. It ma
The Alpha's Retribution Sixty-Two.
(Third Person’s POV)[The Night of the Full Moon]As some of the werewolves were eager and celebrating as the sun went down, there were a few people who knew what this full moon meant to them.Unfortunately, Doris hadn’t been able to provide some sort of revelation about Celina’s condition or even dispute her daughter’s words. She seemed clueless as to what was even happening.It was also unfortunate for Brody when the third lady stopped by.“I couldn’t be able to make it here in person, so I am using her as a shell.” This mysterious, unknown lady said as she walked right in, making herself feel at home.Brody and Lucas shared a look of confusion.“I’m sorry, who did you say you were again?” Brody interrupted the relaxed lady.She sighed as she shook her head in annoyance. “I would have assumed that
The Alpha's Retribution Sixty-One.
(Third Person’s POV)[Day of the Full Moon.]While Brody was running around trying to make calls back home and track down a witch that was either going to help her sister, Celina, live or solidify her fate of uncertainty. Landon and Jane had already begun their day.Each had a plan in mind.Landon held the door open with his foot as he also struggled to carry the grocery bags. Jane chuckled. “What a gentleman.” Her tone was playful: “You have your hands full. I am sure I could have opened the door.”Landon stepped out, the bags now steady in his arms, and was able to look at Jane, “We are both outside, aren’t we?”Landon felt this need for responsibility over Jane. The old woman had taken him in after all, and now he was going to return the favour by protecting her.Jane’s sweet old voice started to chuckle. “Can you also open the car door wi
The Alpha's Retribution Sixty.
(Brody’s POV)[Eve of the Full Moon.]We were unable to hide the truth from everyone, as most of the night Celina had been howling. It made most people unable to sleep; they actually came out to find the source of the howling on the night before the full moon.“You have to put her to sleep so the rest of our guests can sleep too.” Belinda suggested.There was something going on in this house, but I had yet to piece everything together.“I don’t want to have my guest too exhausted for tomorrow night.” Adolphus, who I had learned was Lucas’ father, chimed in, “The point of coming to stay here is so they can rest up for the full moon while they network.” He mumbled the last part. I guess he forgot that most of us were werewolves.No one wanted to volunteer, so I guess I was the one to do this.I stepped forward, “How do we go about sedating her?
