Vaelina's POV

I was back at my desk, half a mind on my files and the other half absolutely elsewhere, when the knock came.

"Come in."

Torren opened the door.

He was in a full suit, jacket on, the kind of composed presence he carried into every space he walked into without seeming to try.

In one hand he was holding a paper bag that smelled, even from across the room, like something warm and good.

"I was passing by," he said, stepping inside and letting the door close behind him. "Like I said I w

"Like I said I would be."I looked at the bag. Then at him."You actually got me food.""You said you were hungry." He set the bag on my desk in front of me. "I said I would bring something. That is how this works."I opened the bag and the smell confirmed everything. I looked up at him. "You are serious.""I am always serious." A small, quiet smile. "Eat before it gets cold."I started pulling things out, already smiling despite every effort not to. He stood across the desk and checked his watch while I arrang

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 63—Residual Thoughts

    Celeste's POVThe morning at Mercer and Vale was the kind that moved quietly, and I was grateful for it.No back-to-back calls, no urgent requests landing before I finished my first coffee, no fires to put out before the day properly started. Just the clean, manageable rhythm of a Tuesday that intended to cooperate, which I accepted without question and settled into with both hands.I was working through the stack of client files on my desk when I came across it."Aiden Carter."His name on the tab, the file from Torren's proposal sitting in the pile as if it was perfectly ordinary. Professionally it was. Just another account. Another set of terms to manage, finalise, and move forward on.I opened it anyway.I went through it gradually, the way I always did with new material, reading properly rather than skimming. The figures were solid. The investment Aiden was putting behind this particular venture was more than I expected, the kind of commitment that showed he was serious about b

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 62—Royal Greetings

    Celeste's POV"Take a chill pill," I said, keeping my voice easy. "She is an ex. That is all. It is not catastrophic, it does not require a reaction, and it is definitely not the end of the world."Vaelina looked at me. Then she looked across the room at Calista. Then back at me with the specific expression she wore when she was processing something and wasn't quite finished."I am fine," she said. "I am completely fine. I just." She paused. "I never knew that.""Now you know.""Now I know," she repeated, quieter. Something moved through her expression, working through the information and placing it somewhere it made sense.Then her eyes sharpened with the particular focus of a woman who just solved a puzzle she didn't realise she was looking at."Wait.""I remember her from the Luna ceremony." She turned to face me properly. "The weird looks from the moment we arrived. The cold greeting. The way she looked at you like your presence in that room was a personal insult to her." She poi

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 61—Whispers and Warnings

    Celeste's POVThe evening was warm and the grounds were lit the way Ulfsang always managed to make things look effortless.Mason and Jason were circulating, moving between pack members with the ease of men who genuinely liked their people. I watched Mason stop to speak to one of the older elders, his hand resting briefly on the man's shoulder, and felt something settle quietly in my chest the way it always did when I caught them being exactly who they were without an audience.I invited Vaelina. Partly because she would have found a way to come regardless, and partly because I genuinely wanted someone in my corner who would make the evening entertaining.She never failed at that."I cannot believe you live like this," she said the moment we arrived, looking around with the focused expression of someone cataloguing everything for a full report later. "Every pack event is like this?""Not all of them. Some are more formal.""And this is the relaxed version." She plucked a drink from a

    Vivian's POVI kissed him backFor a moment that was all there was, the warmth of it, the familiar certainty of him, and then I pulled away and put a careful inch of space between us."Stay with me tonight," he said.I looked at him. "I came with my brothers. I can't just disappear.""Make something up." Easy, unbothered. "You are good at that."I looked at him for a moment. Then I straightened my dress, checked the angle back toward the main lawn, and walked out from behind the hedges at a pace that would not draw any attention.Aiden and Jayden were still where I left them, deep enough in separate conversations that I caught them both without interrupting anything important."I just heard from some school friends." I kept it breezy. "We have a project we need to get ahead of. I might not make it back tonight."Aiden looked at me briefly. "You need a ride?""They are coming to get me." I kissed Aiden on the cheek, then Jayden, and gave them the smile I always deployed when I needed t

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 59—The Wedding

    Vivian's POVI took my time getting ready.Not because I was nervous. More because the morning felt like it required a certain kind of deliberateness, and I wanted to walk into Henry's wedding looking exactly like someone who belonged there.By the time I came downstairs, Aiden and Jayden were already by the car, suited and ready, doing that thing they did where they both checked their watches within thirty seconds of each other without noticing."You look nice," Jayden said."I know," I said.Aiden almost smiled. We got in the car.The drive to the venue was easy, the conversation light, and by the time we arrived the grounds were already full of people moving between clusters of conversation, pack members dressed up and in good spirits, the kind of energy that only existed at pack celebrations when everyone was genuinely happy to be there.Henry and his new wife were glowing. I offered them my congratulations warmly and meant every word of it. They deserved it.A few minutes in, Aid
