All Chapters of REJECTED BY HIM, DESIRED BY HIS TWIN : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Celeste's POVWe all walked back into the house, leaving the guards behind. It felt like I was in some sort of movie or something like that. Everything was going by so quickly, there wasn't enough time to let it sink in. Lee looked like he recognized that name as well, with the way he was staring at Wulfrick and now I wondered what was really happening. Could Lee be Greg? But then how would that work? Greg should be dead. Inside the house, Lee stopped at the foot of the stairs, staring at Wulfrick with an expression I couldn't decipher. It looked like a mixture of pain and shock. “How do you know Greg?" He asked. Wulfrick looked at me again for the second time that day before looking at Lee. He swallowed and even from so far away, I could sense his nervousness. It looked like he was thinking his words. Finally, he spoke, “He was my best friend but how do you know him and how do you look so much like him? I don't understand?” He did sound and look confused and now I was just the sa

Celeste's POV My heart slowed as I stared at the screen, the messages were coming in a bit slower than I would like. They were at just fifty five percent and on the screen, it said seven more minutes to finish. He will be here soon. I prayed to the goddess for her help, that something should happen so this thing would automatically speed up and I could be out of here before he opened that door and walked inside. Thankfully, almost like my prayer was answered, it sped up a little and the screen read, “Two more minutes to go" I knew Eva would be able to hold him off till then. Four minutes had already passed. Finally, the screen cleared and showed down and as I began to exit and turn the computer on, Eva's voice came in, “He's on his way back" and just then, I heard the voices start to come down the hallway. I took a deep breath, rushing towards the window and then I opened it. Once it was open, I jumped out and shut it. Just as that happened, the door opened and the voices flooded

Celeste's POV I didn't need to turn around to know that it was Ragnar. My heart pounded in my chest as my mind raced with any lies that I could tell - the ones he would believe. It didn't matter what I thought of Ragnar, I knew he was smart. At first I didn't turn, taking a deep breath so I could steady myself. Before I finally did, I made sure that I was stable. When the lies began to come out, they would be said consistently and without any fear. When I met his eyes, I tried hard to hold them there. I didn't want him to sense any sudden sketchiness, he would dig deeper if he did. When I didn't respond yet, he asked again, “What were you doing out by this time?" His voice was hard and stern this time, telling me that he wasn't playing any games here and expected an answer. When I was sure that my heart rate was steady, I began to form the lie carefully. Once it spun in my head, I opened my mouth and began, “I just needed to take a walk and breathe" and I knew this information I

Celeste's POV Suddenly, Ragnar's voice broke the silence between us, shattering it like he shattered any beautiful thing he touched. “We had better get going. The council isn't going to wait for a pair of lovers to say their good byes" The mockery in his tone irked me, I wanted to shut him up except that I knew I couldn't. In front of his pack, he would kill me if I ever dared. You might say killing is a stretch but who really knows who Ragnar is? He's done so much that the boy I grew up with wouldn't do.That was how Wulfrick was dragged away, my eyes still on him regardless of how far he went. My heart ached with full pain but I didn't let it consume me. I would prove to everyone who the innocent man was. Once they were out of sight, Eva came out of nowhere to right in front of me. “It looks like he really plans on going with all this. He's really going to frame his brother and pretend he doesn't know the truth" My eyes glazed over then with tears as the full weight of what was

Celeste's POV The name came from a familiar voice, I didn't need to turn back to see Ragnar's face. Already, I could imagine the anger on his face. The fact that he had failed and to me, it must have stung badly. And maybe I was a bad person because the idea sent joy through me. The smile on my face threatened to widen itself further but I held it in. Instead, I let Wulfrick go, helping him get up before turning to look at Ragnar. I didn't say anything to him, simply staring at him with a brow raised as I waited for him to speak. He looked like he was thinking about what to say when Lee walked up to us through the crowded room. His face was covered with barely hidden rage, the way his fists clenched. For a moment I thought he was going to beat me up or something of that sort but instead he faced Ragnar, “You promised" he said. Ragnar sighed, opening his mouth to say something but Lee cut in quickly, “I don't care about what you have to say" he then turned to me and I got ready to
