CELESTE

I didn't sleep a wink all night. Caspian’s demand made no sense at all. It was a different thing if what he was asking was for me to dress up and smile in front of the cameras, but marrying him?

I texted him all night, dialling his number to see if we could reason things out, but nothing. I didn't actually expect him to take things this far, and this was exactly why I didn't want to be at anyone's mercy.

“Good morning, ma'am,” Clara greeted with a smile as she stepped into my office. S

    CELESTE I didn't sleep a wink all night. Caspian’s demand made no sense at all. It was a different thing if what he was asking was for me to dress up and smile in front of the cameras, but marrying him?I texted him all night, dialling his number to see if we could reason things out, but nothing. I didn't actually expect him to take things this far, and this was exactly why I didn't want to be at anyone's mercy.“Good morning, ma'am,” Clara greeted with a smile as she stepped into my office. She flipped through the pages on her tablet, taking notes of my schedule before looking at me again.“You're having a meeting in the next two hours. It's about an ongoing project Mr Harrington was handling himself before you took over. Would you like some information on it?”A sigh escaped my lips as I nodded.“Bring me all the materials you can lay your hands on.”“Yes, ma'am.”She turned on her heels when I stopped her. “And please, I don't want any visitors today. If it's not work-related, I d

    CELESTE “Is he going to be okay?” I asked the medics as they took Declan in the ambulance. He had passed out long before they arrived, and I couldn't help the coil of guilt tightening in my chest.“We'll contact you if his status changes,” the man said with a polite smile after I'd filled in my contact details.I had barely made it back to my office when Hilary stormed in.“Girl, what the hell?” She slammed the door shut behind her as I slumped into my seat, feeling every bit of the exhaustion. “Today is your first day, and you're already the lead story of the office gossip. First it was Caspian, now Declan?”She stepped forward, searching my face for answers, but I just sighed. My eyes drifted to the blood stain on the floor, and Hilary’s eyes followed mine.“Who… did that?” She frowned, her voice dropping into that familiar tone that usually came before the nagging.“Can I get a moment, please?” I whispered. My throat felt tight, and the look of raw disappointment in Caspian’s face

    CASPIAN “She chose him,” my wolf snarled at the back of my mind, his anger bleeding into mine. My jaw tightened as I stared at the shattered glass by my feet. The bottle I had thrown moments ago lay in pieces, with alcohol splashed all over the marble floor.I dragged a hand through my hair, exhaling slowly, but it did nothing to calm the storm clawing beneath my skin. She fucking defended him. For a moment back there, all I saw was red. He didn’t just abandon her, he left her at her lowest. He didn’t deserve to walk free after what he had done. And somehow, learning about her miscarriage felt like it was my own pup that died. My nails dug into my palm so hard it burned. I clenched my teeth as a surge of rage coursed through my veins. If I was this angry over something that didn’t even happen to me, how the hell could she forgive him so easily?That bastard used and discarded her like she was nothing.The door creaked open.“Alpha…”Jason stepped in, his gaze sweeping over the br

    CELESTE“You'll stay the fuck away from her, and I mean it,” Declan barked, his eyes flickering from rage to something unreadable.“And if I don't?” Caspian raised his brows, taking a step away from the desk. I missed his warmth immediately. The way his presence made my body feel alive even when I don't want to admit it, the way his crude jokes made me feel… seen. What the hell is wrong with me?“Don't you have enough toys to fuck with? You've hooked up with every woman in the entertainment industry and now that you're bored, you think you can move to her?” Declan shook his head, his disgust was clear as day.“And you're keeping records because?” Caspian straightened, his voice calm and controlled as he stared at Declan like he was a nobody.“I don't give a shit about you,” Declan spat. “But if you think you can use Celeste to get to me, that is where you've got it all wrong.”They stared at each other, both showing off their Alpha's dominance, and I could tell they were only a seco

    CELESTE “Y-you… you're joking,” a laugh bubbled up in my throat, but when my eyes met his piercing gaze, I knew something was off. I waited for him to lean back, smirk and tell me how easy it was to pull my legs, but nothing.He didn't blink. He just sat there, his hands folded over his knee, waiting for the reality to set in. A familiar dread crawled in the pit of my stomach as I stared at him. “You're serious,” my voice came out barely as a whisper.He sighed, shaking his head slightly. “I wouldn't come all the way here to tell a joke, Raven.”“Have you lost your mind?” I stood up so fast my chair hit the wall with a loud thud. “Get married to you? How? Why? I literally got divorced weeks ago! I just clawed my way out of one cage, Caspian. I’m not jumping into another one even if it’s for a show.”Caspian rose from his seat slowly, his eyes never leaving mine. “This is different,” he said, keeping his voice completely void of all emotions. “I am not asking you to fall in love with

    CELESTECaspian kept his promise. He assigned us the Goldmine project and informed the board that he was on my side. “What did you do?” My father asked as soon as the meeting ended and the vultures left the room.I shrugged, hiding my smile.“Nothing really, I just played my role.”His eyes narrowed as he stared at me. “I've seen the news, Celeste. Everyone says you and Alpha Caspian are together.”He was hard to read when he was in his business mode. My lips pressed together in a thin line, wondering if he hated the idea or if he was in support.“The media are exaggerating, I promise.”He didn't argue.“You're a grown woman, Celeste. I won't tell you what to do, but I trust you to make a wise decision. Alpha Caspian is not what he appears to be. No Alpha is ever what they look like. Just remember that.”My father's words replayed in my head as I left the conference room. What exactly did he mean? I knew Caspian. And even if there's something I didn't know, this was just a deal.
