What on earth had Byron just told him? Jeremy blinked his eyes, trying hard to process the meaning of Byron's words. He and Celeste were not twin siblings. More precisely, he wasn't Celeste's twin brother? Celeste and he had grown up together, inseparable since childhood. How could they not be twin siblings? Jeremy stared at Byron in disbelief and shock. The man must give him a proper explanation. Byron heaved a heavy sigh, fully aware that he wouldn't find peace until he offered a proper explanation. Indeed, once he revealed this information, he knew Jeremy wouldn't just let it rest. "You were adopted," Byron said. "What?" Jeremy's mouth fell open, momentarily overwhelmed by this revelation. The air seemed to escape Jeremy's lungs, leaving him momentarily breathless. His mouth agape, he struggled to find words, but his voice seemed to betray him, failing to produce any sound. He swallowed hard, desperately trying to regain his composure, his mind reeling with a storm of e
Without a second thought, Jeremy spun around and walked away. Right now, there was only one burning desire in his heart—to find Celeste and get her back to him. He wished he could just appear in front of Celeste already. He hurried to the city where the rogues were located as fast as he could. Relying on his memory, he navigated through the labyrinthine streets, leading him to the rogue's elusive enclave. His heart hammered relentlessly in his chest, threatening to burst through his throat with every step he took closer to that place. Rogues were known for their unpredictable nature. They earned the name by never lingering in one location for too long. Nearly a month had elapsed since Jeremy's last visit, and Jeremy had no idea if the rogues were still here. What if he came here, but Celeste had already left with the rogues? How would he ever manage to track her down then? If Celeste had already left, was there still a chance for him to find her? He gritted his teeth, wi
The afternoon breeze gently caressed Celeste's skin, carrying with it the soothing warmth of the sun. Nestled beneath the shade of a tree, Celeste found peace and finally surrendered to the irresistible embrace of a dream. As her eyelids fluttered closed, the fragmented patterns of the tree's branches danced before her eyes, enveloping her in a mesmerizing play of light and darkness. She dreamed of being in the darkness, yearning for something elusive yet profound. She kept running forward, but she wasn't sure if she was running on her two legs or on her wolf's four. All she knew was that she was chasing and pursuing something, but she didn't know what it was. With each stride, a sense of longing intensified within her. She seemed to feel something flowing out of her body, a tremendous sense of loss. The weight of an immense loss settled upon her, a cavernous void that seemed to devour her very being. This sense of loss had been gnawing at her for many days, as if it could nev
Celeste's eyes remained fixed on the man standing before her, her lips still tingling from the lingering sensation of the kiss. She could still sense the soft and firm touch of Jeremy's lips on her own, and the slight prickliness of his stubble on her cheek. And the air she breathed in was heavy with his musky scent. The kiss had been so real, so intense. Celeste found herself holding her breath, afraid that the slightest movement might break the spell. She squinted slightly, allowing herself to get lost in the moment, basking in the raw emotion and desire that had been stirred up within her. "I miss you so much, Cel," Jeremy whispered, his voice husky. Even as he spoke, Celeste could hear the traces of passion and desire that lingered from their kiss, sending shivers down her spine. Even his voice felt so real. It was all so vivid, so real. She stared at Jeremy, her heart racing as she tried to process the flood of emotions that were surging through her. Then she realiz
Celeste blinked as Jeremy's words echoed in her ears. She had imagined what Jeremy might say to her. He might try to persuade her to go back with him. He might tell her that they could find another way out. He might say that she didn't need to leave at all. He might even say that they belonged together and they couldn't run from each other for the rest of their lives. The memory of his last visit, when he had spoken those words, still haunted Celeste. These days of separation had only served to torment the wolves within them, intensifying their desperate longing to be in each other's presence. For a moment, Celeste was afraid that Jeremy would continue to say these things and look at her with those eyes. She was afraid that this time she wouldn't be able to hold out and would just give in. But what Celeste was afraid of did not come true. She never expected Jeremy to say that. "What?" The shock was so overwhelming that her brain could barely squeeze out a single word. "We'
Celeste asked Jeremy to take her, and so Jeremy took her. Or probably, it was their deepest desires and cravings that took them away eventually. And it seemed as if even the Moon Goddess herself was swayed by their raw yearning and decided to take their side this time. When Jeremy and Celeste left the house, they successfully dodged the rogues on the watch. Celeste couldn't put her finger on why she felt so restless. She simply couldn't bear to wait for another second, feeling an urgent need to flee this place with Jeremy. As the knots in their hearts unraveled, it was as if a heavy weight, suppressing their true selves, lifted away into thin air. Before they could even fully shake off the rogues, Celeste felt her wolf already itching to burst free, eager and impatient. And through Jeremy's eyes, Celeste caught a glimpse of that same fiery desire, knowing that his own wolf was on the verge of breaking loose as well. Suddenly, rustling sounds emanated fr
Celeste had no idea when she and Jeremy had transformed back into humans. But judging by the slightly cool sensation on her skin, she guessed it had been for a while. But the places where her skin and Jeremy's touched were still very warm. In comparison, the coolness on her exposed skin was negligible. And then Celeste suddenly realized that her entire body was pressed tightly against his. The realization made her face heat up. Although Jeremy had told her that they were not real twins, Celeste still needed some time to adjust to this new information. She couldn't just suddenly meet Jeremy naked, both of them without any clothes on. It wasn't something she had ever experienced before, and the sudden intimacy made her feel vulnerable and exposed. But at this moment, her inner thoughts seemed insignificant, because she couldn't deny the fact that they were both naked and pressing against each other. Celeste could feel Jeremy's strong arms wrapped around h
Home… The word landed in Celeste's ears, sending a delightful shiver down her spine. She hadn't felt this way in a long time. Goddess. She missed home. But how on earth were they going to make it back? Celeste couldn't help but sneak a peek at their naked body. They had shifted in the forest, and their clothes must have been ripped to shreds during the transformation. Even if they went back into the woods to scour for their lost garments, she was sure they wouldn't find anything helpful. Besides, they were currently in an unfamiliar city, stuck right in the heart of the forest. Even if they had some cash, prancing around in their birthday suits wasn't the best approach to buying new threads. This was the inconvenience of being a werewolf! Each time they underwent a transformation, whatever clothes on them would be torn apart, leaving them stark naked. If they weren't prepared in advance, they would have to run around naked. Celeste couldn'
