“Stay by my side for the next month—like a real mate, after that, I won't disturb you.” I retorted, my heart was beating against my ribs. His eyes darkened, “Who are you to negotiate with me?” He groaned in-between gritted teeth. “Just one month, Adrien. I will leave your life forever.” My breath came out rough and raspy. Adrien slowly released me, stepping away from me. My chest raised and fell with heavy breath, I let out a cough due to how hard he had held me. “Just one month?” He asked, eyeing me suspiciously. ****** Celeste Magnus was born a princess… For three years, Alpha Adrien Orion treated her like a stranger. To him, Celeste was nothing but a manipulative woman who lied about their mate bond to trap him in marriage. His loyalty belonged to another woman, while Celeste endured endless coldness, whispers from the pack, and a husband who never believed a single word she said. But Celeste is done begging for love. Pregnant and exhausted from years of humiliation, she finally asks for one thing—freedom. One month for Adrien to help her awaken her wolf. After that, their marriage will end, and she will leave his pack forever. Adrien agrees without hesitation. To him, divorcing the woman who deceived him should be easy. But living under the same roof begins to reveal cracks in the story he has believed for years. The Luna he once ignored shows a strength he never noticed… and the more he watches her, the more something feels terribly wrong. What if Celeste never lied? What if the truth about their mate bond was hidden all along? And when Adrien finally uncovers the secret that destroyed their marriage… Will it already be too late to stop Celeste from walking away forever?

THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies) Chapter 131: Happy home.
Celeste.We were married simply and without excess.Words that meant what they said. Promises made by two people who understood now, really understood, with the full knowledge of what it cost to lose something and what it took to rebuild it — what they were promising. No performance, and no politics.Just Adrien's hands around mine and his eyes on my face and the particular certainty of a man who had finally arrived exactly where he was supposed to be.When it was done he leaned his forehead against mine the way he had on the balcony the night before the frontline, and for a moment neither of us spoke, and the hall around us was full of the sound of people who were genuinely, completely happy."Hi," he said quietly."Hi," I said back."We did it.""We really did. He kissed me,soft and certain and entirely unhurried and the room responded with the particular warmth of people who had been rooting for something for a long time and were finally watching it arrive.Elona, from Michael'

Celeste's POVThe morning of my wedding arrived quietly.No fanfare. No elaborate ceremony of preparation. Just pale gold light coming through the curtains of my room, Elona making her morning sounds from the bassinet beside my bed, and the particular stillness of a day that understood its own significance and didn't need to announce it.I lay still for a moment before getting up, listening to the sounds of the pack house waking around me — distant voices, movement in the kitchen below, the particular energy of a place that had been transformed overnight into something ready to hold something important.Then Elona made a more insistent sound, and I got up, because she had never once waited for my contemplative moments to finish and I had come to love that about her."Good morning," I told her, lifting her against my chest. She grabbed a fistful of my hair immediately with the focused determination she brought to everything. "Yes. Hello. I see you."She made a sound that I had decided

Celeste's POV Doctor Pitt discharged us two days later. Two days of the particular suspended peace of a hospital room — Elona sleeping in the bassinet beside my bed with the absolute commitment of someone who had decided rest was her primary occupation, Adrien in the chair beside me that he had refused to vacate for more than twenty minutes at a stretch, the two of us existing in a quiet that felt fragile and precious and entirely unlike anything we had managed before. Michael visited twice a day with food he claimed the hospital kitchen couldn't be trusted to provide adequately. He held Elona with the careful reverence of someone deeply aware of being trusted with something important, and talked to her in a low, steady voice about nothing in particular, and I watched him and felt the particular warmth of knowing that this child was already loved by more people than she understood yet. Lucian came on the second morning. He appeared in the doorway while Adrien had stepped o
Last Updated : 2026-06-27THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies) CHAPTER 128— A NEW BEGINNING
Celeste's POV The hospital corridor was a blur of movement and voices and the particular controlled urgency of medical staff who had been given no warning and were adapting in real time. Doctor Pitt was already waiting when we arrived. I didn't ask how he had gotten there before us, Michael must have called ahead, or Lucian, or both — but the sight of his familiar face in the doorway of the examination room settled something in me that nothing else had managed since the moment my water broke at the dinner table. He was calm the way he always was, that particular unshakeable steadiness that had gotten me through more difficult moments than I could count, and he took one look at me and immediately took charge of the room. "Alright," he said, with the brisk warmth of someone who understood that efficiency and kindness were not mutually exclusive. "Let's see what we're working with." "She's four months," Adrien said from beside me. His hand was around mine, tight and steady, and h

ADRIEN ORION POV I stepped back, releasing Celeste’s neck, but my body still hummed with tension. My chest felt tight, my pulse a drum I couldn’t slow. I was stunned, she saw through me easily. She knew how much it would cost me if I proceeded with the divorce. My hands itched to grab her ag

CELESTE MAGNUS POVAdrien agreed to my terms.That should have given me relief, a flicker of hope, but it didn’t. Not really. Not when his agreement came wrapped in indifference, like he didn’t care whether it saved my life, or our child’s.My hands rested on my stomach, fingers trembling. One mont
