FATE’S RECKLESS GAMES : ENTANGLED with the Alpha king. Chapter 1
Celine’s pov.The silk gown clung to my body like a second skin, its shimmering feel mocking the cold emptiness I felt inside. I barely moved as I stood stiffly at the grand party, the chatter of wolves ringing in my ears. I shivered, despite the warmth emanating from the fireplace. It felt cold, which was a contrast to the atmosphere. It’s a feeling I had grown accustomed to, one that haunts me in my dreams and remained long after I woke.The plush carpet under my feet provided a little bit of comfort, but that was only for a while…a while until I caught sight of my husband. His chiseled profile was lit up by the soft glow of the chandelier. He threw his head back in laughter, as his eyes crinkled at the corner. Lucien…my mate, my husband—these words felt dry, as dry as the bond we both shared. Who knew marriage could turn into a nightmare?I watched him closely, searching for something…anything that might explain how we got here. But deep down, I already knew. Everything changed t

Celine’s pov.My body reacted before my mind could catch up. I flinched, squeezing my eyes shut and bracing myself for the impact. But nothing came…There was heavy silence as I slowly opened my eyes. Lucien’s hand was still raised, but instead of striking me, his fingers twitched, curling into a fist before relaxing. Then, without warning, he grabbed my chin, forcing my face up to meet his gaze.His grip wasn’t bruising, but it was firm and possessive.“Look at me.” His low voice sounded controlled, but the storm in his eyes betrayed his restraint.I swallowed as my pulse quickened against my skin.“You humiliated me tonight.” He leaned in, his breath warm against my cheek. “I won’t tolerate it again.His thumb brushed over my jaw quite gently, before tilting my head higher. “Get a grip of yourself.” He murmured. “You see that room over there?” He said, pointing at the room we just walked out from. “I would be meeting important people in there, so don’t sabotage things for me.”He le

Celine’s pov.He took a step closer. Not rushed, not hesitant. I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry. He leaned in slightly, his voice dropping to a murmur only me could hear.“Did you hurt your wrist?”The question was soft and gentle, yet it sent a slow, searing heat curling through my veins.I didn’t know what unsettled me more—the quiet, possessive way he asked it… or the way my pulse betrayed me, hammering beneath my skin. His eyes flicked downward, his gaze sweeping over my wrist in a cold, assessing way. He wasn’t just looking—he was studying, as if searching for the slightest hint of damage.Something in me cracked. Like a dam bursting, every emotion I had fought to suppress…Lucien’s neglect, the humiliation of this evening, the drunk man’s grip, everything came rushing to the surface. And before I could stop it, a sob tore from my throat.Tears welled up, hot and uncontrollable. I turned away sharply, my back to him, mortified. Why was I crying? Was it exhaustion? Frustrat

Kaine’s pov.“My lord,”Oscar, my beta’s voice cut through my sinful thoughts. I didn’t acknowledge him immediately. Instead, I let the moment stretch, my fingers tapping lazily against the polished wood of my desk. Finally, I raised a brow, silently urging him to speak.“I also found this about Lucien Greythorne.” He said, stepping forward and placing a folded sheet of paper in front of me.I frowned, picking it up with slow fingers. “And why didn’t you hand me this earlier?” My voice was calm, but there was sharpness beneath it.Oscar hesitated before clearing his throat. “I was… letting you savor the first discovery before dropping another.”I exhaled through my nose, shaking my head slightly. He had a habit of thinking he’s clever. It amused me sometimes, tonight, it simply made me impatient. But I let it slide. My gaze dropped to the paper as I unfolded it, scanning the words before me. And then, slowly, a smile curled at the corner of my lips. Interesting!A low chuckle rumbled

Celine’s pov.Even under the harsh mall lights, he looked stunning. His thick black hair was messy yet stylish. His olive-toned skin complemented his sharp cheekbones and straight nose. But it was his eyes that really caught my attention. They were a deep, hypnotic green that seemed to hold me in place.I felt it again. That pull. That eerie stillness in my veins. What was the Alpha king of bloodfang pack doing here?He didn’t even look at me. He simply continued picking up the scattered mess, his long fingers brushing over the ruined items with an almost infuriating lack of urgency.Before I could fully process it, another person rushed forward—a young employee, eyes wide and a panic filled face. Perhaps it was fear, but they didn’t dare let a man like him kneel on their floor picking up shattered glass. They took over the task immediately.I exhaled sharply, forcing myself to stand. I didn’t know if this was a coincidence or something else entirely, but the idea of running into him

Celine’s pov.The car ride was suffocating. I sat rigidly in my seat, hands clenched in my lap as I stared blankly out the window. The city lights blurred past, but I barely saw them. My mind was still stuck in the mall, in that moment when Lucien raised his hand, in the way the Alpha King had stopped him so effortlessly. Lucien had almost hit me...in public.I swallowed hard, gripping my dress tighter. He had never been affectionate, never the kind of husband to hold my hand or whisper sweet words, but he had never been outright violent either. Until tonight.But that wasn’t the only thing that unsettled me, it was his silence. I had expected him to lash out the moment we got in the car, to yell at me for embarrassing him, for drawing attention. But he didn’t. He didn’t even look at me. Instead, his grip on the steering wheel was tight, and his knuckles went white. His jaw was clenched, his entire body stiff as though he was battling something inside him.I stole a glance at him, my h

Celine’s pov.I sat on the terrace, cradling a warm cup of tea between my hands, letting the morning breeze caress my skin. The rich aroma of herbs curled in the air, filling my lungs as I took a slow sip, savoring the warmth that spread through me. The soft chirping of birds and the distant rustling of leaves made for a peaceful morning, one I wished could last forever. For a moment, I let myself believe it would.The events of last night had completely escaped my mind. Perhaps it was exhaustion or the way I had trained myself to forget things that only weighed me down. Either way, I didn’t want to think about Lucien’s cold silence, the terrifying moment when he had almost hit me, or the Alpha King’s unsettling presence. I didn’t want to think at all.The sky stretched endlessly, soft clouds drifting lazily over the treetops. This was what I longed for—peace, simplicity, a life where I wasn’t constantly questioning my worth. But peace never lasted.Lucien’s footsteps broke through th

Celine’s pov.I stood before the mirror, adjusting the hem of my dress as I examined my reflection. The deep emerald fabric draped elegantly over my figure, its smooth texture a contrast to the unease settling in my stomach. The color had been a deliberate choice—regal, commanding, a silent reminder of my place as the future Luna of Emerald Forest.Yet, for some reason, I didn’t feel like one.I smoothed my hands down my sides, pressing out imaginary wrinkles as if that could get rid of my nervous energy. Today was important. My first official role as an ambassador. A role Lucien had thrust upon me without warning, but one I had accepted without hesitation. It was my chance to prove myself, to show that I wasn’t just a decorative piece in our marriage. Still, a question burned at the back of my mind. Why now?Lucien had never allowed me to take on responsibilities beyond what was expected of a Luna. And yet, overnight, he had changed his mind. The sudden shift unsettled me. I inhaled d

Kaine’s pov. “Enough!” I shouted as I lunged forward, ready to cut through the bindings that held Celine captive, to sever the strings of this twisted game. But in a blink, Tess spun around, her eyes alight with dark magic, and I felt the rush of power hit me like a tidal wave. My body was pinned, weightless as if ice water coursed through my veins, shackled by her spell.“Your anger is nothing,” she spat, her eyes dancing with triumph as I struggled against the bonds that held me in place. “You think you can save her? You’re weaker than you realize. She means nothing to me, but she means everything to you. That’s why you’re lost without her.”Tess stepped closer to Celine, a wicked smile spreading across her face. “And the best part? I’ll enjoy every moment of your suffering. You chose her over me, Kaine. Now look where that’s gotten you.”“Shut up!” I growled, straining against her magic that wrapped around me like chains of ice. “You think I’ll let you win? Celine is worth my eve

Kaine’s pov. “She did this,” I muttered, the words slipping from my lips like venom. “She fucking did this.”Oscar paled, his eyes widening in disbelief. “Tess? Are you sure?”“She’s the only one who could’ve gotten close without question. The only one who knows Celine’s schedule and the villa’s blind spots,” I snapped, my tone dripping with conviction.“She wouldn’t—“ “She would,” I growled, each word laced with bitterness. “I rejected her. She’s wanted to hurt Celine since the moment she saw her in my room. I saw it in her eyes. That wasn’t heartbreak, that was hatred.”I turned to the map spread across the villa table, the inked lines crisscrossing like veins. If she used a cloaking spell, she couldn’t have gone far, not without using the Old Tunnels. The ones we sealed off two years ago for a reason.Unless she unsealed them.“She took her underground,” I said, my voice heavy with dread and determination, the pieces clicking into place like a death knell. “To the crypt beneath t

Kaine’s pov. I tore through the forest like a predator possessed, reckless and fueled by desperation.Branches clawed at my arms and chest as I moved, but I didn’t feel a damn thing. Pain couldn’t touch me, not when she was gone, not when the echo of her scent was the only thing guiding me through the dark. Celine. The name thrummed through my skull like a drumbeat, like a prayer — like a curse that weighed heavy on my heart.I’d never felt fear like this. Never like the shuddering dread that clawed at my insides, tearing me apart from the seams of my sanity. Not even in battle, when enemies loomed before me, bloodlust filling the air, blades flashing like lightning.Not even when I was bleeding out, years ago, unsure if I’d survive till morning. Back then, at least I had the hope of waking up with the dawn. That fear had been physical, the sting of steel, the ache of injury, the burn of exertion. This? This was a black hole in my chest, devouring everything but the thought of her.
FATE’S RECKLESS GAMES : ENTANGLED with the Alpha king. Chapter 56
Kaine’s pov.The thought was still lingering in my mind—her smile, the way she’d looked at me earlier that morning, when the office door burst open with a loud, jarring bang.“Oscar?” I snapped, rising to my feet instantly.He looked pale. Rattled. And that alone made the blood in my veins go cold. Oscar didn’t rattle. Not easily, not unless something was very wrong.His chest was heaving like he’d sprinted the entire way from the villa. “She’s gone.”The world tilted.“What?” My voice was low, dangerous. Already vibrating with the growl clawing up my throat.“Celine—she’s not at the villa. I went there to deliver the herbal compress you requested for her shoulder. The door was wide open.”I was already rounding the desk, my claws half-shifted, the fury rising in my chest like a tidal wave. “Did you see anything? Anyone?”Oscar shook his head quickly, following me out of the office. “No guards at the perimeter. No sign of forced entry. It looked like she just… left. But something felt

Kaine’s pov. I don’t know if she’s realized it yet, but I have…She’s my mateI’ve known for a while now—long enough for the knowledge to settle into my bones, long enough for it to stop shocking me every time I look at her. Still, the truth never loses its weight. It’s a constant presence, an invisible thread pulling me toward her with every breath I take, every thought I try to push away. It started as a whisper, a tug at the back of my mind. But now it’s a roar, deafening and relentless.Yes, she had a mate before. I know that. The whole damn world knows that.I remember the way people talked when she arrived. The story of her loss passed between lips like folklore, always laced with that same undertone: tragic. Unclaimed. Cursed. Stronger for it, perhaps. But broken, too.And yet here I am. Her second chance.I should be grateful. I should be elated, even. The Moon Goddess gave me a gift most never get—to be paired with someone so rare, so resilient, so beautifully fierce that ev

Celine’s pov.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, bathing the room in a soft golden glow.I stirred beneath the covers, momentarily disoriented. For a split second, I reached out instinctively to the other side of the bed, searching for warmth. But it was empty. Kaine was already gone.I sat up slowly, running a hand through my tangled hair. My body ached deliciously from the night before; sex had become an everyday thing for us. but a deeper ache pulsed in my chest—an ache that had nothing to do with touch and everything to do with the way he had clung to me, spoken to me, stayed with me through the night.I pulled on a simple white robe and padded barefoot downstairs. The house was still quiet, but this time, the scent of fresh coffee and bread lingered in the air. Somewhere beyond the kitchen, I heard movement—maids, maybe, bustling quietly, cleaning and resetting the world Kaine and I had unraveled in the night before.I paused by the window, watching t

Celine’s pov. The walk back to the villa was longer than usual. Not in distance—but in weight.The words Matthias had thrown at me echoed louder with every step. I told myself I didn’t care. That I’d heard worse. That nothing could rattle me after everything I’d done to hold Bloodfang together. But somehow, his voice still lingered.“You don’t ask for loyalty. You demand it.”The wind bit at my jaw as I turned the final corner leading to the private gates. The guards stood straight, stiff as statues as I passed. They didn’t dare speak—not to me. Not now.I slammed the villa door shut behind me and leaned against it for a breath. The house was silent again, spotless, polished. Whatever traces of last night were left had been wiped clean by the staff. As if it never happened.Except… I could still smell her. Still feel her. Her laughter. Her voice gasping my name. The way her body had curled into mine after.I looked up toward the stairs, toward where I’d left her this morning. I shoul

Celine’s pov. One of the women paused to collect a tray near the entryway, and I instinctively stepped back, half-hiding behind one of the stone columns that lined the corridor. She glanced in my direction briefly, her face carefully neutral, but I saw the flicker in her eyes.Recognition. My heart sank.I took a shaky breath and finally forced myself to keep moving. I needed answers. Or at the very least, I needed to find Kaine and yell at him for not warning me about the twenty people apparently living inside this house.The kitchen was empty, save for the smell of fresh coffee and something baking. Kaine was nowhere in sight. Neither was Matthias or anyone else familiar.Where the hell did he go? And why didn’t he tell me this place wasn’t as private as he made it seem?I leaned against the counter, chewing my lip, trying to ignore the echo of last night still rippling through my bones. The way he held me. The way his voice broke when I called his name. The way he kissed me after

Celine’s pov.He cleaned me gently, his brow furrowed like he was concentrating on something fragile. His fingertips grazed my skin like he was afraid of hurting me now, as if his roughness from earlier had been stored away, tucked into the shadows.When he was done, he reached for the water, lifting it to my lips. “Drink.”I didn’t argue. My throat was dry, and I needed something to ground me. I drank slowly, his hand steady at the back of my neck. When I was finished, he set the glass aside and slid into the bed beside me, pulling me into his chest with no hesitation.Just… holding me.I rested my head against his bare chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. His fingers traced slow circles over my back, and the warmth of his body bled into mine until I stopped shaking. Until I felt safe.“Kaine…” I whispered.He didn’t answer at first. His hand came to rest at the back of my head, holding me there, like he needed me close just as much as I needed him.“I’m here,” he said f
