Chapter 221

• Celeste POV
• I froze in mortification as I slowly turned around to face Beta Liam, acutely aware of how I must look.
• My clothes were torn in several places from my emergency shift, dirt smudged across my skin, and my hair was a tangled mess from running through the forest. But it wasn't just my disheveled appearance that made my cheeks burn with embarrassment – it was the way Liam's dark eyes flickered up and down my body, taking in every detail.
