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'
THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies) CHAPTER 130 — THE WEDDING
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
THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies) CHAPTER 129: HOME
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
THE 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
THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies) CHAPTER 127: ALL AT ONCE
Celeste's POV Michael was already outside when the car pulled through the pack gates. He was standing in the courtyard with his arms crossed and the particular expression he wore when he had been worried for long enough that the worry had curdled into something that looked more like irritation — jaw set, eyes scanning the approaching vehicle with an intensity that softened the moment the door opened and he saw me step out. "Finally," he said, crossing the courtyard toward me with long strides. "Do you have any idea—" He pulled me into a hug before he finished the sentence, tight and immediate, his arms wrapping around me with the careful consciousness of someone who had remembered at the last second that there was more of me to account for than usual. "I was fine," I said into his shoulder. "The healer told me where you went," he said, pulling back to look at my face with the searching thoroughness of someone taking inventory. "After she made me promise not to follow you." His
THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies) CHAPTER 126: DEATH OF THE VILLIAN
CELESTE "It wasn't about what you gave me." Her voice was quieter now, the effort of speaking becoming visible. "It was about what I couldn't have. And when I understood I could never have it — that she was always going to be the one — I chose to burn everything down rather than accept it." A pause. "That was my choice. Not yours. Not hers. Mine." He pressed his face briefly against her hair, shoulders shaking. "I'm sorry for your child," she said. "The first one. I am so sorry for that." The words seemed to cost her more than the physical wound. "And your mother. I turned her against Celeste deliberately and systematically and I knew exactly what I was doing every step of the way." A cough. Blood came with it. "I am sorry for every year I stole from you. For making you into someone you weren't. For taking something good and poisoning it from the inside." "Hazel—" His voice was barely functional. "This is how it was always going to end for me," she said softly. "After everything

CELESTE POV My eyes flicked briefly toward the rearview mirror before returning to the road ahead, though a strange sensation had already started settling low in my stomach. The SUV maintained the exact same distance behind me. Same speed and same positioning. I frowned slightly and changed lan

THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies) Chapter 2: DEAL SEALED
CELESTE MAGNUS POVI already knew I’d lost his heart. But I never expected him to act so soon—not even willing to wait for our child to be born. What will happen to my child? I’ve always known he might not love me, but now…it felt like all hope was gone even before trying. My head was in a jumbl
THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies) Chapter 1: DIVORCE
CELESTE MAGNUS POV The pack doctor laid his hand on my tummy, rubbing it in a slow, round circle. Suddenly his hand stopped moving. Instantly, I tensed. I watched his face fall in sadness, and restlessness gripped me as I wondered what could be wrong. “Luna, your wolf is beginning to slip into
