Vivian's POV

The call with Lucien had been short. He confirmed seven o'clock, mentioned the name of the restaurant, and said he was looking forward to it.

I told him the same, which wasn't entirely a lie, and then I stood in my room for a long moment after I hung up, thinking about how easy it was starting to feel to say things I wasn't sure I meant.

Soraya was already on my bed by the time I started getting ready, legs crossed, watching me with the expression she wore when she was about to sa

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 96—Unexpected Apologies

    Celeste's POVThe drive home started quietly enough.No music, no calls, just the road and the familiar stretch of Crestfield Road settling around me as I made my way back toward the estate. I was still turning over the Ashen Hollow decision, not anxiously now, just carrying it the way you carried a thing that was settled but still new. I would tell them tonight and it would be fine.My phone lit up on the console.Mason. I picked up."Where are you right now?" His voice was easy, no urgency in it."Crestfield, heading home. Why?""Pull over. We're close."I glanced at the road ahead and took the next turn, pulling into the wide stretch near the Dunmere crossing where pack members sometimes gathered in the evenings. I called Mason once I parked to let him know where I was."Give us a moment," he said. "We're coming out now."I stepped out of the car and stood by it, letting the evening air settle around me. The Dunmere crossing had its usual quiet energy at this hour, not loud, not e

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 95—Unwanted Ties

    Celeste's POVThe morning started simply enough.I made it out of the estate without waking either of them, which was becoming its own small ritual, and by the time I pulled into the Mercer and Vale car park the sun was properly up and I was already mentally ordering the day.Amaris found me before I even reached my desk."You've got potential client files coming through this morning," she said, keeping pace with me down the corridor. "And we're expecting two incoming investors for the firm. I need you handling both.""All right." I adjusted my bag on my shoulder. "Send the files through and I'll be ready."She nodded and peeled off without another word. That was Amaris. No pleasantries before nine, no pleasantries after nine, just the work and the expectation that you'd do it.I settled into my office and pulled up the first file.Twenty minutes in, my stomach made a comment that my coffee wasn't equipped to address. I reached for my bag and came up with nothing. I left my snacks on

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 94—Unclear Expectations

    Vivian's POVMy notes were spread across half the desk and I was staring at the same paragraph for the third time.Third year was supposed to be the year everything clicked into place. The foundational courses were done, the pace settled, and I told myself by now I would have found some rhythm between studying and everything else running in the background of my life. Instead I was sitting at my desk at nine in the evening with a highlighter I stopped using an hour ago, a half-empty coffee cup, and a test on Friday that felt further away than it actually was.My phone buzzed against the desk.Lucien.I picked up."Are you free tonight?" His voice came through clear and easy, the way it always did, like he already decided the answer would be yes and was only asking as a formality."Depends where you're trying to send me.""Somewhere worth getting dressed for," he said. "I'll send the address."I looked at my notes. Then I closed the folder.Twenty minutes later I was in front of the mi

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 93—Ravaged By My Mate

    Celeste POV We barely made it through the front door before the rain was forgotten. The quiet of the estate swallowed us as Jason locked it behind us, his hand still brushing mine. I didn’t wait for him to lead. I took the stairs two at a time, already knowing which room we were heading for, the one that smelled most like him.Jason’s room was dark when I stepped inside. The only light came from the hallway behind us. I turned just as he followed me in, and before he could close the door I was on him. My mouth found his hard, hungry, no patience left. He met me the same way, kissing me like he had been holding himself back the whole walk through the rain. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me flush against him, and I felt how hard he already was.He kicked the door shut without looking. My top came off first, yanked over my head and dropped somewhere on the floor. His mouth never left mine while his fingers worked the button of my shorts, shoving them down my legs along with my

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 92—Rain and Heat

    Celeste's POVThe estate was too quiet for this hour, and I was done pretending I didn't notice.Mason went out earlier to handle something with the pack and wasn't back, and after Jason's call that afternoon I half expected him to be back by the time the sun went down. He wasn't. I moved through the sitting room restlessly, tried reading, gave it up after three pages, and ended up standing at the tall windows overlooking the front of the estate with a cup of tea going cold in my hand.It was nearing eleven o'clock when I saw headlights sweep through the gates.I recognised the car before it fully pulled through the gates and stopped in front of the estate entrance.I set the cup down and went downstairs, moving fast enough that I caught the front door handle while he was still stepping out of the driver's side.He looked up when he heard the door open, and whatever expression was on my face must have said something because the corner of his mouth lifted before I even reached him. I

  • The Rejected Fourfold Luna: Fated to Two Alpha Twins    Chapter 91—Boundary Lines

    Jason's POVShe looked at me for a moment, like she was deciding something."Can we talk somewhere private?""Here is private enough.""Jason." Her eyes moved briefly toward the pack members still standing further up the road. "I just need somewhere they aren't watching us."I studied her for a moment. Then I exhaled through my nose, turned without another word, and led her around the side of the Halvern storage blocks where the road narrowed and the buildings gave enough cover to block the crowd from sightline. Nobody would see us here. Nobody would hear whatever this was about to become.When I stopped and faced her, the look on her face told me everything. This had nothing to do with the fight. This had been building long before today."Why do you treat me like I don't matter?""I don't know what you mean.""Yes you do." The composure she wore all morning finally started slipping. "Ever since Celeste came into your lives, Jason. You've completely shut me out. Stopped looking at m
