Fifty-One.
(Celina’s POV)Stepping out of the dark room at the back and into the study felt so freeing. It made me have a different perception of life and freedom.The first thing on my mind was food—actual food—and not the bugs that sustained me while I was locked in there. But before I could even leave the study, Belinda opened the door.I cursed under my breath, as I didn’t exactly have the energy to go head-to-head with a witch.One look at me, and her eyes went wide. “Sweetie, what happened to you?” The concern in her voice was real, right? I found myself unable to trust her or anyone, for that matter.She went to reach for my hand to help me, but I recoiled.She looked offended but also understanding.“How about I make you some food?” She suggested.“So you can keep adding more unknown substances to it?” I retorted; the spite that came out as I spoke even s

(Paige’s POV)I was pacing around my room, trying to figure out how exactly I was going to deal with this situation.Having Celina back in the picture will ruin the plan I already had set in motion.Bella was to try and get on Lucas’s good side and eventually even get mated to him, while I was playing my cards right with Paul, who was desperately trying to be the next Alpha by kissing Adolphus’ feet.Whether Paul or Lucas were to become the next Alpha, I would be

(Brody’s POV)I had begun worrying about Celina since I hadn’t heard from her in over a month. Lucky for me, I was keeping track of all the numbers she had called me from before.I called all those places, and I still wasn’t able to get a hold of her.I tried not to think of it negatively.“She could just be having fun. This is the first time she has been able to get out of this small town in the middle of the forest.” I said it out loud, hoping hearing the words out loud would help me calm down.It didn’t.I didn’t know I had been staring down the phone deep in thought till I heard someone tap me on the shoulder.My fight or flight kicked in, and I almost broke some poor young man’s hand.“I just came to talk to you, Alpha Brody!” The kid had exclaimed, the words coming out of his mouth so quickly that it took me a second to comprehend what he had jus

(Celina’s POV)I was beginning to feel a bit feverish and dizzy. I would have presumed I was sick if it wasn’t the nerves in my entire body letting me know it was probably the anxiety.The full moon was fast approaching, and I had no idea how the experience was going to be for me.I heard footsteps heading towards my door.One thing about being locked up in that dark place was that I had to rely mostly on my sense of hearing to survive, and it worked well for me out here too.The footsteps stopped in front of my door, and I opened it before anyone could even knock on my door.Unfortunately, it wasn’t someone I wanted to see.“Paige, what do you want?” I tried to be friendly, but the tone of my voice didn’t want to work with me as it showed my disinterest in speaking to her.She rolled her eyes as she pushed past me and into my room. “I think it’s time you told me why you seem to be so angry at me.”I scoffed in surprise.“Are you trying to be funny?” I swung the door shut.She had mad

(Landon’s POV)I was trying and failing to be able to get a spot at the Adolphus Manor so I could spend the full moon there. It would give me a place to stay during the full moon—seeing as I am an omega now—and also enable me to find out why I can’t see Celina because I will be in that house.I tried to click book again, but it kept loading without giving me any feedback.I was beginning to feel angry—so much more anger for the situation—but I guess the truth was finally dawning on me.I had given up pretty much everything in my quest for my love for Celina, and what have I gotten in return?There was a pop-up on the screen asking for my credit card information. What the hell was that? I wondered.Money, I guess?I didn’t like feeling stupid and was beginning to wonder whether I should have stayed in the small town I was from. Everything there was familiar.“You have so much to learn out here, though.” I tried to advise myself out loud in an attempt to silence the negative voices in m

(Adolphus’ POV)I wiped off the droplets of water from my mouth as I lifted my head up from the small bathtub in this even tinier cage.I had a lot of respect for Celina and how she was able to survive here as a werewolf who hadn’t been one for long. It took me a while to realize that she had been hunting bugs because I had started doing the same.The anger I felt at her at the beginning had vanished as I tried like she had, and the pain of having my hand touch the silver bars was unbearable. My older age was definitely to blame for that.“Are you sure it’s in here? In his study?” I heard a familiar voice in a low tone from the other end of what I knew to be a bookcase. It was Paige.I didn’t think I would ever be happy to hear the voice of that thrifty, selfish girl.Celina must have known how thin the wall is and hence never let anyone come in to the study. I haven’t heard anyone&r

(Isabella’s POV)I chuckled and felt my cheeks blush as Brody took my hands in his own.“What are you doing?” I asked as I hung my head to avoid him seeing me blush.“I want to show you something.”“What is it?”“It’s a surprise, but I promise you will love it.” He reassured me as he gently tagged me along to the back of the house.I had never really had the pleasure of going back there; as Paige had told me, it was nothing but trees, and I had so much to explore out there.But it wasn’t just trees; it was beautiful.Was it really different from what I had experienced with Landon? Probably. But I hadn’t experienced it with Brody, and I had the feeling that this was going to be different.“Hold on,” he said, coming to an abrupt stop. I bumped on to him, our faces inches from each other.I gulped.I hope that

(Celina’s POV)[Two Days Before the Full Moon.]I was getting worse.It was two days until the full moon, but I was already beginning to transform, which wasn’t a good idea since people had begun showing up. I had no valid explanation to give.“I have been trying to read and do research to see if there is a way in which we can turn this around, but it doesn’t seem like there is any way we can do that.” Lucas, who had been beside my bed every waking second that he could, tried to reassure me.I chuckled. “Who would have guessed that this was where this would have led us when we left my brother’s place?”At least I hadn’t lost my sense of humour when I heard Lucas chuckle.We both knew what we had to do, but we were trying so hard to ignore the obvious solution. I had to be taken back to the cage. Only this time, Brody was the one with the key.

(Landon’s POV)[Eve of the Full Moon.]It wasn’t exactly a tiny cottage, but rather a fancy cottage house with wooden walls at the front and glass walls that faced the back of the house, where you could sit and watch the sun set.It was like something out of a magazine.“Is this what you consider small?” I asked after I had been admiring the house, almost gawking at its beauty, before I spoke up.Jane just shrugged as she pulled away the sheets that were covering her. She still had that strength in her for someone her age.“We haven’t done any shopping; how am I going to survive here when you leave?” I wondered out loud.“I won’t be going anywhere.” She said it firmly.I frowned. “But I don’t think you want to be here when I turn into a werewolf.”She turned to me, and her serious expression turned into a smile

(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?
