(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
(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
(Four Months Later)(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
[Two and a Half Years Later.]As you approach the manor, a striking fusion of modern elegance and timeless charm unfolds before your eyes. The exterior, draped in various shades of soothing grey, exudes an air of both welcoming warmth and upper-class sophistication.Lucas and Celina wanted to build a home but they never thought it would turn out this beautiful. It had taken time for them to get to this point and they had. Together.Paul’s father, Alan, had been sceptical about pouring money into Lucas’ project. If Lucas’ father didn’t want to do this why did he have to?But he’s leap in faith had worked, and together with Lucas and Celina, they had bought other manors that they had made to be a safe haven for werewolves.Hiding in plain sight.Celina wiped the sweat off her forehead, she had been working on her garden for most of the morning.Not like they wanted for anything but Celina w
(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
(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
(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
