Forty-One.
(Celina’s POV)Our eyes met, and the werewolf started making slow steps towards me.“Chloe, Paige, do something.” I said it through my teeth, not daring to let my eyes off the werewolf.It was like a staring contest.“What do you want us to do?” Paige asked.Seriously? I wondered if she was the same witch that killed that old man in the basement, and now she couldn't do anything.But I remembered the silver knife Brody had given me; for some weird reason, I had decided to bring it with me tonight; it might just save my life.“Chloe, Paige, slowly make your way out of the room.” I said through my teeth that I didn't want to make any movements that might trigger the werewolf to attack me.“You want us to leave you here alone with it?” Paige asked.I slowly moved my hand to the back of my waist, where the knife was.“You are wasting time,&rd

(Landon’s POV)Isabella smiled brightly as we walked into another store, to get her more clothes. I was trying to keep a smile on my face but I really wanted to leave this town and go find Celina wherever she was.“What do you think of this?” She held a red dress against her body as she smiled brightly.I shook my head, “red isn’t the colour for you.” I didn’t know much about women’s clothing but I needed to keep up appearances as I was planning to leave soon.I looked through the clothes rack and picked out a bright and colourful dress, “try this one.”She shrieked as she jumped and hugged me with a huge smile on her face.She grabbed the dress as the lady showed her to the dressing room.I was glad that she was enjoying herself, this clearly was all she needed to be happy, but I wasn’t happy.“Honey, could you help pick out more clothes that you would like me to try?” She yelled out from the dressing room.I rolled my eyes.“I don’t really think I am good with picking out girl cloth

(Celina’s POV) The shock of what I was looking at had barely gotten the better of me when I saw Lucas was already standing in front of his father, and he didn’t look happy at all. He said something, but I couldn’t hear it. This is one of the times I wish I had werewolf abilities. Lucas turned to me and signalled for me to follow them. I didn’t know I was ready to face Adolphus, but I was also curious to hear what he had to say about what happened last night. He nearly killed me, but I nearly sliced his eye out. So was it a win-win situation? The moment the door of the study shut, Lucas yelled, “What the hell!?” I flinched at the sound of his voice roaring in the room. “I can explain.” Adolphus said defensively. “I don’t think there is an explanation as to why you tried to kill my guest,” Lucas replied, as his hands clenched to the side. “What were you even trying to do?” As much as I was angry at Lucas’s father, I didn’t want to be the one to cause a rift between them again,

(Lucas’s POV)I took a deep breath before knocking on my father’s door.I expected him to call out for me to come in, but instead he opened the door himself.When he saw me, I saw his shoulders tense up slightly.“I already understand that what I did was wrong,” he said as he walked back to his desk, which had this open box on top of it. “You don’t have to yell at me again.”I sighed as I closed the door. “I am here to apologize, and maybe you and I could talk.”He looked at me as if he were trying to understand the words I just spoke. He couldn’t believe it.He looked down at the box and pulled out a picture. “Chloe’s mom doesn’t know about this box, but I did keep some things of your mom.”A smile came to his lips as he looked at the picture.He stretched out his arm and handed it to me. “She was so beautiful.&rdq

(Paul’s POV)I had been keeping my ear out for what was going on in this house.I did want to be the next Alpha, but I knew that the moment Lucas showed back up, my position was threatened.Adolphus had even stopped giving the same amount of attention he had before.My parents almost never had time for me, so when he took me under his wing, I felt seen and acknowledged. He became like the father I had always wanted but never got.I was eavesdropping, and I knew that Lucas had now changed his mind and wanted to be an Alpha. His decision left no room for me.I had to leave, but now I wanted to stay a while longer.I needed to fix this; I just didn’t know how, but I knew someone who had an idea.I knocked on her bedroom door.“Go away, Paul!” She screamed back without even bothering to open the door.So I walked in.“I need your help, Paige.” I stated this a

(Landon’s POV)I was all smiles when I went back to the Airbnb I had booked for Isabella and I for our stay in the city.I don’t know why Celina was trying to pretend like she didn’t finally turn herself into a werewolf for me, I thought with a smirk.She knew I was coming for her because our bond was stronger than the one I had with Isabella.“I found a new place for us to visit while we settled here.” Isabella said excitedly, “I didn’t know just how much more was out there till you brought me for this trip.”She was very happy about this, but I wanted to end things with her. I found Celina, and she was a werewolf now; I didn’t need Isabella anymore and besides, she knew this was a marriage of convenience.“We are going back.” I stated with an air of finality as I went to the bedroom to start packing our stuff.If I was going to end things, I didn’t want to have to do it this far from home, away from what she knew, and far from her home. I wasn’t that inconsiderate.Ironical, I thoug

(Celina’s POV) I didn’t know how long I had been trapped in the cage, and I had been denying any food given to me by them. I didn’t think I could hold on anymore, as the hunger was getting to me and I was starting to feel myself craving for meat. “I made this for you myself; please just have some,” Lucas said as he pushed the tray of food inside the cage. I stared at the food and back at him. “What makes you think that I trust you?” He sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. “I didn’t want this to be how this played out, trust me.” “Yet you stood there and let it happen.” I retorted, his excuse not meaning anything but my hunger not being able to let me be so proud. “You might hate me for that, but it’s for your own good.” He tried to reassure me, “It is hard for a human who just turned to a werewolf to navigate out there with no guidance.” “You did it.” “With the help of Brody, without him,”

(Flashback, Third-Person POV) “I thought that was meant to be my choice!” Lucas barked, slapping his hand on the table. This was like a morning routine for the people in the big house. Lucas and Adolphus have been arguing ever since he turned sixteen and was soon to lycanthrope. While Lucas felt he wasn’t ready to become an Alpha, as he would like to say, ‘he had a world to explore before settling down’, Adolphus was already trying to find him a mate. “You are the son of an Alpha, and you’re going to become an Alpha, and that’s final!” Adolphus voice boomed all over the house; the vibration of his voice echoing around the house made it seem like everything had stopped making any sound. Elizabeth, Adolphus’ mate, and Lucas’ mother tried to ease up the tension on the breakfast table. “How about we all relax, and we can revisit this when we are all calm, okay?” She looked at Lucas, then at Adolphus. Lucas stood up, grabbe

(Landon’s POV) The last person I expected to be opening the door when I went back to try and find Celina was Isabella. I frowned. “What did you do?” She rolled her eyes. “I would ask you the same thing; are you here to beg me to take you back?” She smiled cockily, like she knew I’d come back. “I am wondering what you have told the love of my life, and why you even knew where to find her?” Isabella’s smile dropped. “She isn’t here; at least I haven’t seen her for the days I’ve been here.” She said this as she walked back into the house. I was about to step in when I heard someone clear their throat behind me. It was this older gentleman who said, “We have been getting a lot of guests this week; are you also a friend of Celina and Lucas?” I didn’t even bother to respond, “I am just here for Celina, and I’ll be out of your hair.” “She isn’t here.” The man replied. “Who are you?” I a

(Celina’s POV) My time in isolation had given me ample time to think about everything. How did I get to this point in my life? Locked in this isolated, cold, dark room—if I could call it a room, it felt more like a prison. It also allowed me to test my skills—thanks to the books Landon had given me—by pushing every limit each day to see just how far I could push myself. This did wear me off, and I had to eat random bugs and things that crawled around in the dark and drink water from the bathroom. Each time I had to scrounge for a bug or a rodent or drunk bathroom water, I could feel my hatred for Adolphus grow. What he didn’t know was just how thin the partitioning between his office and my prison was. I could hear everything he said, but I also could hear how every night Lucas would come and talk to me through the partition while he tried to find a way to open the locked door. “I am going to get you ou
