(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 the grip tighten around me as he tried to navigate through the dark forest. “I’ll make sure you’re okay.” He reassured me as he kept running, in the distance I could hear the growling of the werewolves chasing after us.Our small town of Lore had been a peaceful one, where children could run around and people could come and go as they pleased until a pack of werewolves decided to call that their home too.“No one is allowed to leave this town, if you are caught the punishment will be death!” The young man stated one day in a gathering of the town. As it is typical for human beings, no one took the young man seriously, but they soon would when he killed and displayed the bodies of a couple that had tried to leave the town, suddenly everyone lived in fear. They watched what they said, what they did and how they did it.He put me inside a hallowed out tree as he covered me with leaves and branches, “I’m sorry sweetie that I put us in this situation.” He apologized a

(Landon’s POV)I chased after my dad who was teaching me how to use my senses as a werewolf. I had just lycanthrope and I was eager to learn everything that there was to learn about what I was.“You should always learn to be light on your feet.” My father said, “you’re a hunter and can never let your prey know where you are.”He went low hiding in the grass when we heard someone running towards us, his ears perked. It was one of the packs betas.“You need to come back to the town now!” He demanded, and you could hear the urgency in his voice.“What is wrong?” My father asked.“The Shadow Pack found out location and launched an attack. Our pack wasn’t prepared and they are killing almost the whole pack.” He said in a panic.“Landon, I need to go back and I want you to stay away from the war, okay?” He asked.“But father, I want to help. What better way to prove how powerful I am that defending our pack?!” I insisted.“Landon, I don’t have time to argue with you and I need you to go hid

(Celina’s POV)I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. I looked around surprised, I was expecting him to have killed me and displayed me in the town centre but here I was alive and well.I quickly got to my feet, my shoes were still on and I ran to the door but it was locked. I sighed, what was I thinking? Of course he wasn’t just going to let me walk out of here when I tried to kill him. He is probably just keeping me captive here giving himself time to think of ways to kill me.I looked around the cabin, it was a nice cabin with a fireplace, furniture, a fully furnished kitchen, under different circumstances I wouldn’t have minded spending some alone time here but at the moment my mind was reeling.I heard the door unlock, I could feel my heart beating faster, as I tried to come to terms with the fact that I was going to die. But Landon walked in with groceries in hand, so calm and nonchalant. I almost thought that I had dreamed about what happened the night befo
The Alpha's Retribution Four.
(Celina’s POV)It had been weeks and the man who claimed to be my brother hadn’t shown up again. I was starting to question my sanity and or whether living alone in the woods was the right idea.“My parents are worried about you, despite me assuring them that you are a big girl and you can take care of yourself.” Andrew commented as I took the dishes to the old, mouldy kitchen at the back of the small diner.I chuckled, “what exactly are they worried about?” I inquired.“You went missing for a few days and then came back and gathered your things and said you were moving out. They were bound to have a lot of questions and you didn’t give them any answers.” Andrew replied.I sighed, “I just thought it was time I moved out of your parents’ house.” I stated as I set the dishes down, “they took me in while I was just a little girl. I don’t want to take advantage of their generosity.”Andrew laughed.“Are you kidding me?” He asked, “if it were up to them, they’d have us get married and live
The Alpha's Retribution Five.
(Landon’s POV)I had been doing a lot of things around our small village in an attempt to stop me from thinking about Celina. I found it impressive that despite all the risks of coming face to face with a werewolf, she didn’t hesitate when she ‘attempted’ to kill me.A smile crept up to my face just thinking about her.“You seem to be doing a lot around here.” Connor, my father’s right hand man, commented as he walked up to me, “and while smiling. That’s unusual.”“For you maybe.” I replied, “never seen you smile.”“What do you mean? I’m smiling right now.” He stated.I looked up only to see him with his usual frown on his face. I chuckled as I shook my head.“Let me guess, you met a girl?” He asked.I paused as I looked at him.“I’d rather not talk about it.” I stated as I continued with my work. I knew that the pack wouldn’t take it kindly to the alpha being in love with a human. If that’s what I feel for Celina.He put his hand on my shoulder, “I know that I’m not your father and n
The Alpha's Retribution Six.
(Brody’s POV)I slowly and quietly made my way to the girl who was seated in the middle of the forest with her back towards me as she read a book.A smile crept to my face as I watched how she turned a page with her face serious as she concentrated on what she was reading. She was my mate. It wasn’t easy to get her to be my mate though.“Don’t think about it. I can smell your scent from a mile away.” She spoke up.“You don’t know who I am.” I said trying to disguise my voice, making it sound deeper than it usually is.She chuckled, “you do a terrible fake voice Brody.”I hugged her from behind, smelling the unique scent of her hair that made me relax.“Do you know how much I love you?” I asked in a whisper close to her ear.She closed the book as she brought her hand to touch my face, her eyes closing. “I have known you loved me from the moment I saw you.” She replied.“I would have thought it would have been the moment I won that duel for you.” I joked as I kissed her.“You mean when

(Landon’s POV)I sighed as I stepped into my house, taking off my jacket with a smile on my face as I thought about the time I had spent with Celina. Before I could turn on the lights, someone else did starling me.“You should really pay attention to your surroundings.” Connor said as I felt my heart almost leave my chest.I sighed as I tilted my head to look at the roof.“I didn’t think anyone would be breaking into my house.” I replied defensively.Connor smirked as he shook his head, “you should always think and expect anything. You’re the leader of the pack, thinking and expecting should be all you do.”“Fine.” I agreed just to try and get him to leave my house.“Where have you been?” He asked as he slowly got up from the chair.“Trying to get a hold of my teen years that were taken from me because I had to rise to the occasion and become the leader of the pack at a young age.” I explained sounding slightly sarcastic.He walked up to me, putting his hand around my neck, “I underst

(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

(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

(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

(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?
