Celeste's POV
*****
Bloodoak Pack, Spiritual House, 7:06 PM
The Pack's spiritual house.
A place teeming with decades of history. During the numerous stories my parents told Caelum and me, they'd mentioned how they used to come here seeking advice from the then Spiritual leader.
Although the light of the moon was dull tonight due to clouds, the compound still had this subtle silver glow. The gates were wide open to all, a few maids in white gowns tending to plants and giggling around the fountain.
I took a deep breath. "Home. It's been a while since I came here."
The maids saw me and immediately greeted me but all I could do was nod and wave. I really wasn't in the mood for being social. Not after my conversation with Atlas.
That's why I was here.
It offered peace. Mental clarity. And… if I were lucky…
"Celeste!" the voice of a woman broke through the serenity, coming from the building's entrance.
