CHAPTER 9. Raven or Celeste. Kerian pov. I jerked awake, still screaming. My voice echoed through the silent pack house. Within seconds, wolves burst into my study. Guards. Pack members. Everyone who'd heard an Alpha in distress. Owen reached me first, grabbing my shoulders. "Kieran! What's wrong?" I couldn't speak. Couldn't breathe. My heart hammered so hard I thought it would burst. The dream. Celeste's pain. Raven's face. *They're the same person.* "Everyone out!" Owen ordered. "The Alpha's fine. Just a nightmare. Out!" The wolves left reluctantly, casting worried looks back at me. When we were alone again, Owen knelt beside my chair. "What happened? What did you see?" "Her execution," I gasped. "I saw it from her perspective. Felt what she felt. The pain. The betrayal."
