**Chapter 191**
**Aysel’s POV**
In hushed tones, the townsfolk often referred to Celestine as the “glittered saint” of the eastern territories, her reputation cloaked in a shimmering veil of admiration. Yet, Skylar and I were privy to a far grimmer truth. As Dariusz’s quivering voice unraveled the sinister threads of his revelations, the darkness lurking behind her illusory halo finally revealed its sharp, menacing fangs.
“Some wolves mocked her behind her back,” he rasped, each word a struggle, “they called her a parasite, a leech on the Moonvale Pack… and she hinted that her parents had married her off to an abusive gambler.”
He gasped for air, his body shaking violently, the scent of his fear wafting towards me in palpable waves.
“And—she pretended to feed stray cats and pups in the alleys, but in reality… she tortured them. I have proof. Videos. Everything.”
A shiver coursed through me, every hair on my wolf’s spine standing on end.
Celestine had sullied her own hands with filth, but the smaller, more sordid tasks—once polished by her sweet, deceptive storytelling—were tainted by the lingering traces of Damon Blackwood’s influence and the “cleanup” efforts of some Moonvale wolves.
Beside me, Skylar’s Frostfang aura flared, cold and sharp as a blade, radiating a lethal intensity.
I could feel the same searing fire igniting within my own bones, a primal rage rising to the surface.
Time and again, Celestine had clawed her way beneath the very bottom line of what even a corrupted wolf should embody.
Dariusz was already writhing on the floor, half-collapsed, the fruit dagger still skewering his bloodied palm. “I’ll hand over all the evidence,” he sobbed, his voice cracking like fragile glass. “Please—have mercy. I beg you.”
I crouched down, my wolf’s breath warm against his cheek, my lips curling into a predatory smile. “All you’ve done is list Celestine’s sins. You mentioned Damon Blackwood. You mentioned my own Moonvale kin. But what about you?”
I tilted my head, my gaze piercing.
“Dariusz… were you pure in any of this?”
He froze, his body stiffening as if I had cast a spell over him.
The scent of his guilt soured the air, panic and remorse intertwining in a toxic dance.
A sudden knock interrupted the charged atmosphere. One of the Shadowbane wolves I had summoned earlier pushed the door open, his expression grave. “Luna?” he addressed me, his voice steady despite the chaos.
I flicked my gaze toward the ashen-faced Dariusz, a cruel smirk playing on my lips. “He enjoys falling into the sea. Let him soak in saltwater for a few days. Maybe it’ll cleanse that rotten brain of his.”
“Yes, Luna,” he replied without hesitation.
They didn’t question my command; they simply gagged him and dragged him out with a precision that was both efficient and predatory.
Just as the door swung shut behind them, Magnus’s video call illuminated my screen, a stark contrast to the dark room. Of course, he would choose this exact moment to witness Dariusz being hauled away—bloody hand, embedded blade and all.
Skylar stiffened beside me, casting a glance my way as if expecting Magnus—the continent’s strongest Alpha, wolf Rafe of Shadowbane—to be shocked by my feral display.
Some males preferred their females soft, gentle, and “untainted.”
But not Magnus.
His golden eyes narrowed slightly, a frown etching itself across his handsome features.
“Why did you dirty your own hands?” His tone carried a hint of mild annoyance. “Messy.”
Then, with a breath full of authority, he added, “The angle of the blade won’t fully disable his hand. If you were aiming to cripple it, you should’ve gone an inch lower. Sever the tendons.”
Skylar choked on her breath, and I had to suppress a grin at Magnus’s tactical critique.
He shook his head, letting out a sigh that was both exasperated and amused. “One hand is too generous anyway. Aysel, you never need to hold back with trash.”
I blinked at him, my expression playful. “Relax. That was just an appetizer.”
Skylar made a strangled noise beside me, her eyes wide with disbelief.
She shouldn’t have worried; we were perfectly matched in every feral way.
After a few moments of disgustingly sweet mate-talk exchanged between Magnus and me, Skylar finally snapped, collapsing forward onto the table as if the weight of our public affection had physically crushed her spirit.
She leaned into the frame with a deadpan smile, her voice dripping with mock seriousness. “Alpha Magnus, this is a best-friends-only trip in M-country. Can you stop stealing my girl right in front of me?”
I had only been here for a single day.
Magnus didn’t even look offended; he greeted her with a casual smile. “Aysel is lucky to have you watching over her. I heard Frostfang is looking for new gemstone mines. I can arrange something as a backup option for you.”
Backup option?
From the Shadowbane Alpha?
That was essentially a guarantee of treasure, a golden opportunity.
Skylar, moments ago insulted, immediately straightened up like a soldier receiving a royal decree.
“Ah—well—thank you, Alpha Magnus!” She thumped her chest with pride. “Don’t worry, we’ll finish this drink and go home early. I won’t let Aysel get drunk. And once the Sofia troupe business is settled, I’ll personally escort her back.”
Magnus smiled, a glimmer of satisfaction lighting his features. “Much appreciated.”
“Always a pleasure,” Skylar replied, her voice imbued with enthusiastic politeness.
Once the formalities had concluded, he assured me he wouldn’t disturb my evening and ended the call.
Skylar turned to me, her face impossibly innocent, a playful glint in her eyes.
“Babe… what can I say? He offered too much.”
We locked eyes for half a heartbeat, a silent understanding passing between us, before we both burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the now-quiet room.
Conclusion
In the aftermath of the chaos, a fragile sense of clarity enveloped me. The dark revelations about Celestine had shattered the illusion that had long cloaked her, yet it was Dariusz’s trembling confessions that resonated deeper within my soul. The weight of betrayal hung heavy in the air, but in the midst of it, I found an unexpected strength. My bond with Skylar and the unwavering support of Magnus reminded me that amidst the darkness, there was a flicker of light—a promise of loyalty and kinship that transcended the tumultuous shadows of our past. We were not merely survivors of our circumstances; we were warriors, ready to reclaim our narrative from those who sought to corrupt it.
As laughter spilled from my lips, the tension of the evening began to dissolve, replaced by a warmth that surged through me. The camaraderie with Skylar and the playful banter with Magnus grounded me, reminding me that even in a world riddled with deceit and pain, joy could still be found. The connection we shared was a balm for the wounds of betrayal, a testament to our resilience. With every chuckle, I felt the remnants of fear and anger dissipate, replaced by a fierce determination to forge ahead. Together, we would navigate the treacherous waters that lay ahead, united by a bond that could withstand the darkest of storms.
