Celeste's POV

I'd practiced this a thousand times. Every way to escape-twist your wrists, shift your weight, slip your bonds even when every inch of you screamed resistance-had been drilled into me by Kane Jones. I remembered every lesson, every burned-in detail, every small trick that could turn a trap into freedom.

Now, all that training mattered more than ever.

The gray-clad man's attention drifted for a moment, and I moved carefully, inch by inch. My wrists creaked under the pressure of the rope, but I didn't make a sound. I shifted my hands subtly, loosening the knots just enough. Gray man's hooded eyes never left the dark corners, but he didn't see me. Patience. Wait for the right moment.

And then, the moment came.

The rogues who had left returned, heavy boots echoing through the hollow warehouse. The man in the leather jacket strode in first, carrying a man drenched in blood over his shoulder. My pulse spiked, but I stayed frozen, breathing slow and even.

  • A Wrong Alpha Heiress's Return   Chapter 60

    Celeste's POV"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before prying into someone else's business?" I said, my voice cool, sharp, letting my hostility hang in the air like a blade.He tilted his head, eyes scanning me briefly, then a small, almost amused smile appeared on his face. "I'm Elijah Davis. Just turned twenty. From the Capital. You?"I froze for a split second, startled by his bluntness. He hadn't hesitated to reveal himself, as if there were no walls around his words. Was he oblivious to my tone, or was there a cunning hidden beneath that calm exterior?Darkness cloaked his face, and the distance between us kept the thoughts behind his eyes unreadable. I studied him, trying to sense any sign of the wolf beneath, any hint of threat.Finally, I said, "Celeste Hallow. Twenty-one. From Moonviel City."For a brief moment, his black-and-white eyes-the irises split like shards of night and frost-brightened. It was a subtle flicker, but enough to tell me he had processed my words.Then ca

  • A Wrong Alpha Heiress's Return   Chapter 59

    Celeste's POVThe iron door was locked tight, and I could see the shadow of a lone figure patrolling outside. There was no way I could leave that way. I had to think, had to find another way out.My gaze drifted to the shattered glass window-tall, broken, almost two meters high. It was the only other exit.Beneath it, a high iron rack and a chaotic pile of debris offered me a chance. I moved silently, stacking boxes, planks, and barrels, careful to avoid even a whisper of sound. Each piece had to be just right, stable enough to support me, high enough to reach the rack. My pulse drummed in my ears, but my movements remained controlled, precise.I placed a single shoe on top of the makeshift platform, testing balance. I didn't climb just yet. First, I had to ensure everything was perfect. Then, my eyes caught a flash-black and white, piercing, unblinking.The bloodied man-the one I had barely noticed before-was awake. His expression was unreadable, calm but intense, eyes so sharp they

  • A Wrong Alpha Heiress's Return   Chapter 57

    Third Person's POVThe Frost estate was filled with unease the moment the message arrived.Luna Eveline's entire body stiffened, her heart racing like a cornered prey. "What's happening? How could this be? How could someone dare to kidnap Celeste?"Alpha Rowan's expression darkened, the weight of his authority heavy even inside his own home. His voice was clipped, sharp. "This isn't random. Whoever they are, they came for the Frost Family. The demand for ransom makes that clear. They wanted our bloodline, our name."Callen adjusted his gold-rimmed spectacles, his gaze cold and calculating as always. He immediately pulled out his phone. "I'll have my men trace this. Whoever they are, they'll regret targeting the Frosts."But before he could finish dialing, Serena's curious voice cut through the tension. She tilted her head, feigning innocence, her tone dripping with false admiration. "Wow… sister is really brave. Facing kidnappers and not shedding a single tear?"Her voice carried a no

  • A Wrong Alpha Heiress's Return   Chapter 56

    Celeste's POVI lifted my chin, meeting the eyes behind the dark helmet without a shred of fear."The Frost Family's jewel is Serena Frost," I said evenly, my voice steady despite the ropes cutting into my wrists. "I'm nothing but the cast-off foster daughter, switched at birth and discarded two years ago when they reclaimed their true heir. They stripped me of their name and made sure the entire Moonviel City knew it. If you don't believe me, search the archives. My picture is plastered all over those articles."I could still remember that day. How eager Alpha Rowan and Luna Eveline had been to make a spectacle of it-parading Serena in front of the world while shoving me into the shadows. The name ‘Celeste Hallow' had been branded on me like a scar, not an identity.The man in gray armor let out a laugh, rough and mocking. "Of course we know you're not blood. That's exactly why we took you."His grip on my hair loosened, and he pulled out a phone. Recognition hit me like ice-it was m

  • A Wrong Alpha Heiress's Return   Chapter 55

    Celeste's POVI dragged myself back to my room after another long day of work, exhaustion pressing down on my bones like a lead weight. My muscles ached from holding myself together, from playing the part I'd been forced into-obedient daughter of the Frost Family, dutiful enough to please Grandfather Carden, tolerant enough to survive Callen's temper, and graceful enough to pacify Michael Jones.I was tired. Bone-tired.When Callen's sharp voice cut through the air, I didn't even flinch."You…" His tone cracked with restrained fury, and when I finally glanced up, I caught the way his jaw tightened. He pulled his glasses off and pinched the bridge of his nose as if just looking at me pained him. "I don't have the patience to waste words on you. But mark mine, Celeste-when you regret this, don't you dare come crawling back, begging me to stand up for you."His wolf flared faintly behind his words, an Alpha's warning meant to intimidate. It used to work on me once. Not anymore.He shoved
