Celina's POV
What have you done?
My pulse hammered against my ribs as I stared at what I had built. Creating this nest felt ridiculous at first, but once I began arranging everything, thoughts of Darius consumed me completely. How would it feel to share this intimate space with him? Warmth bloomed in my chest, followed by that familiar ache of longing. Where had he disappeared to?
Standing there with Judge Bancroft beside me, tension coiled through my body. Then a deep, rumbling growl echoed from somewhere beyond the trees. The sound was purely animalistic, sending ice through my veins.
My eyes drifted right, catching movement in my peripheral vision. Nathan prowled around the perimeter of my cabin. He had arrived with several other Alphas to observe the nesting ceremony as invited guests.
