When fate worked against Celeste, Brandon thanked the fate. After spending two hours looking for a hotel room, Celeste finally admitted defeat and took Brandon's offer.
But when he realized that his mate was bathing the bathroom on the first floor, Brandon froze in his room on the second floor. His brain was somersaulting, and his wolf was howling crazily. Both of them were happy that their mate was within their reach, but Brandon didn't want to scare Celeste off if he came too strong for her.
He took a long breath before looking through his closet to find something for her to wear for the night. He was lucky that he bought some new clothes recently and tore the price tag off from them before heading to the bathroom on the first floor. After leaving the clothes outside the bathroom and giving her the location of all the items in there, he went to the k
Brandon grabbed his laptop from his bag and switched it on. He logged into his email to see the email that Vincent had sent. There were ten photographs attached to the email. Brandon looked at each photograph carefully, noting everything he saw in a small notebook next to the laptop. Those photographs were captured through the camera he set up in the building across from Kennedy Strauss' nightclubs.Since Brandon couldn't always operate the cameras on his own, Vincent would operate them from time to time. Those photographs in the email were Vincent's photographs during his shift to operate the camera. There was nothing unusual in the photographs. It was a series of photographs of Kennedy Strauss entering and exiting his nightclubs with some people. It was just those kinds of photos.But Brandon ended up staring at those photos for the whole night until the sun shone on the horizon.He hit his head on the table once, groaning. He had spent his night staring at th
After hearing Alpha Elliot's words, Brandon chose to do things on his own. He had to find a way to obtain new information to lead him to the missing girls' location. After one problem was solved, another had yet to be solved.This time, fate was working in Brandon's favor. He had to temporarily put aside the matter regarding his mate to focus on finding information about the missing girls. Kennedy Strauss had gathered his main bodyguard team without the presence of Leto and Celeste, who were sent in a different task.Brandon was tasked to protect Kennedy Strauss during a meeting in Lust and Greed nightclub. He began his routine by checking all the floors in the nightclub building, ensuring everything was well accounted for. From the photographs Vincent had sent to him, Brandon noticed Kennedy Straus always carried a small bl
Although they were given a four-day vacation, Celeste and Leto were summoned to escort several vans transporting a new batch of smuggled girls. The harbor was no longer a safe place, but Kennedy Strauss always found a way to smuggle girls.After escorting the vans to Lust and Greed nightclub, Celeste and Leto stayed in the basement where the smuggled girls were getting taken care of. As usual, the doctor administered the drug to the girls, ensuring they wouldn't end up overdosing. Celeste watched the live footage of the upper floors and saw Dante was escorting Kennedy Strauss to the VIP section where the meeting was held.The memory of Celeste's first kiss and spending the night in Dante's house flooded her mind. She ended up wide awake during the whole night and couldn't sleep even though she was dead tired. Knowing that Da
"Leto, what are we going to do?" Celeste whispered to him.The VIP Package that was delivered to the nightclub was why Leto and Celeste became Kennedy Strauss' bodyguards. The package was Princess Henrietta of the third realm and the only living successor of King Ozigus. It was a realm filled with various species but the shapeshifters' most prominent species.The bodyguards escorted Princess Henrietta to one room and waited for the main event to start. The Princess didn't look like she recognized Leto and Celeste since she had never seen them, but she could have felt the aura radiating from the two elite bodyguards."Leto!" Celeste shook Leto as he remained rooted to the ground."I don't know," Leto breathed out. "There are too many of them against us both. She has been drugged. She wouldn't be able to hold her shape-shifting for long with that drug in her body."He was right. They had to find a way to break the Princess out of the club. Kennedy St
After talking to Leto and Celeste, Brandon didn't put any high hope about them getting the black book for him in return for him keeping his mouth shut. Worse of all, he didn't mean to use Celeste's ability.Brandon rejoined the meeting and stood nearby the exit as instructed by one of the senior bodyguards. Celeste was standing next to Leto as their eyes fixated on the stage. The way they were looking at the girl on the stage was troubling the Gamma. Their eyes suggested they knew the girl on the stage.At the moment someone raised the bid to ten million, his head snapped in the direction of the bidder. It was too dark from where the bidder was sitting, and Brandon couldn't get a better look at his face. Leto was looking at the same bidder as if he could see the bidder despite the darkness.
# Brandon's memory “To serve as a Gamma and an Enforcer is a big honor,” Elliot told him after his training for the day had concluded. Brandon was no older than seventeen and was undergoing his four-year training in the Council with the future Alpha, Cohen, and the future Beta, Liam. “Sure, Gamma is lower than an Alpha and Beta, but a Gamma is the voice of the pack,” His superior went on as they walked side by side. “A Gamma is the closest ranking officer to those below him. Of course, the system changed nowadays. Anyone could talk to the Alpha and the Beta directly. But, Gamma is still the representative of the pack members. He must have a tight relationship with everyone because not everyone is brave enough to talk to Alpha
# Celeste's memory "Freak!" The large kid yelled at her face. "You're a freak!" Other kids followed. She pressed her palms against her ears with the hope of obstructing their insult from entering her brain. Every day was the same. They called her a freak. They called her many bad names. She couldn't fight them off. The Master would get mad if she fought them. All she could do was sit in the corner, pressing her palms on her ears, and just hoped they would leave her alone. She didn't ask to be born this way. She didn't ask to have blue hair. She hated it. She hated it so much that she couldn't face her own reflection in the mirror. She cut her hair off because she hated having it.
"The black book you gave to us is really helpful," Vincent said, popping up a bottle of beer and handing it to Brandon. "It had been two days since you holed up here."For two days, Brandon had been racking his brain inside out. He knew Celeste was a shapeshifter who could take the form of a bird, but he didn't expect that she had other abilities. Brandon still had the sample he collected from the nightclub."Is that a real diamond?" Brandon pointed to the glass vial containing a broken piece of the diamond dome that Celeste created to shield him and the waitress from the explosion.Not only did she shield them, but she also contained the blast radius. There were no casualties, but the damages were severe. The nightclub was in pieces."Yes, a hundred percent," Vincent replied, patting the brown file next to the glass vial. "I'd guess that's how she got her surname. Celeste Diamond."
