Chapter One

Celine’s POV Beta Arianna is sick. The wedding is off. My throat felt parched as I let out a dry, sarcastic laughter. Of course the wedding is called off- for the eighth time. Wedding called off through a text. Romantic. Pitiful sighs and muffled tones all around reminded me I was still wearing my wedding veil, waiting at the altar for a man who repeatedly trampled on my heart like it was dirt. Dozens of notification flooded my phone, I opened it to find pictures of my supposed husband-to-be, carrying Arianna- the woman he truly cared about, in his arms, softness in his eyes I scoffed softly. ‘So much for hoping for the best.’ With my heads held high, I walked out, elegantly holding the excess of my dress, every breath painful- every step laced with blazing determination. When I arrived home, the maids whispered- they were expectant of the ‘unavoidable situation’ but I didn’t care. I just wanted to get out of the wedding gown I'd worn. “Are you alright?” Granny Bridge

Chapter Two

Celine’s POV By dawn, I was done packing my belonging, it was pretty much a suitcase and a leather bag. I decided to retrieve from Trent’s room the reaming half of the pendant Alpha Ryan claimed to have found on me when I was rescued. It was split in two and given to Trent when he knew we were mates. It was the only clue to my real identity and finding my family; if I have one left. Trent's door creak silently and I stealthily walked in, the pendant was in a chest in his lower dresser opposite his bed so I went there directly and retrieved I froze midway back to the door- a too familiar scent hit me, his and Arianna. I squinted my eyes and saw little movement in the distance. I stood still- soft moans renting the air. I felt a prick at my hearting, excruciatingly crippling. Then the moans got bold, loud. “ Trent…oh god,yes” Arianna moaned. My brain refused to function- my limbs stiffened and gave passage to excruciating pain to embrace every nerve. After a minute of listeni

Chapter Three

Trent's POV“How's she feeling Doctor?” I asked, worriedly as the pack doctor emerged from Arianna's room.“She's fine, it was a false heart attack. She simply had a little myocardial infarction. She needs to rest properly and I'll do the necessary work up and all.” He assured me.I heaved a sign of relief and signed off the necessary consent forms before going ahead to see her in her room. She looked pale and smiled weakly at me.“Alpha Trent, I'm sorry I got you worried.” She apologized.I smiled and patted her head. Arianna was more than a beta to me, she's my best-friend’s sister. He died saving my life and made me promise to never let her get hurt.“I'm not mad at you Arianna, I'm just relieved you're fine.” I assured her.She hugged my body tightly and began to cry, I was alarmed and patted her back, gently.“I'm so sorry you're going through all this trouble for me. I was so scared, I thought I was going to die.” She cried.“You're not permitted to die, not on my watch. I'll do

Chapter Four

Celine's POVClouds. Beautiful clouds drifting away, soft, weightless, pregnant with beauty. I traced invisible lines on the window, a feeling of nostalgia towards the city beneath us as the airplane approached the airport.Last time I was in a plane like this, my heart was heavy, full of grief, hurt, bitterness and uncertainty but today, returning back to the place I left months ago, I shared the characteristics of the clouds-weightless, beautiful and alive.“Are you ready?” A masculine voice asked, softly.I smiled at him in response and nodded softly. “It's good to be back.”A fleet of cars was awaiting us when we alighted and they greeted us with a magnitude of respect. Half an hour later, we checked in at the hotel we'd be staying at and I ordered some berry parfait, Greek yogurt and honey to deal with the jet lag.“Are you sure you're ready for this? I can do it on your behalf, you know.”I chuckled slightly as I scooped another spoonful of my yoghurt. “How long do you want to k

Chapter Five

Celine's POV“It's not possible. It… can't be you.” Trent closed and opened his eyes as if to convince himself that I didn't exist.“Is this enough for you, Alpha Trent? Can we proceed with this meeting?” I continued to mock him, leaning into my chair with a smirk.Trent stared at me. His face contorted in a mix of sadness and anguish and surprisingly, my heart didn't ache one bit for him.He still didn't make any attempt to sit. I decided to humor him for two minutes, allowing him the time to take on the shock. My face found Arianna's.And my chest swelled with pride at the triad of emotions fleeting through her face. From panic to anger to hate.The feeling was mutual anyways and I would strangle her if I could. But it wasn't yet time.I watched her eyes dart from Trent to my face, I could see her panic over Trent suddenly choosing me. Did I think that would happen?“Alpha Trent, can we proceed with the meeting now? Or you can't trust a woman too?” I taunted, “I mean I can understan

Chapter Six

Trent's POVI left that meeting feeling like a douse of cold water was poured on me.Celine?Or was it Astra?The moment she pulled that mask off her face, I felt my world crumbling. I'd spent months looking for her and yet now she was in front of me. I couldn't reconcile this confident woman with the gentle Celine from before.I was certain I had embarrassed myself in front of the entire council. They watched me fumble and gape at the woman who used to be my Luna.I felt humiliated but even more I was shocked– still shocked. Was that Celine?How had she become that? The queen of the entire pack?Did my actions push her away?My head buzzed and even more when I remembered how she kept her composure throughout the meeting and after. Never once acknowledging me yet here I was acting like her lost puppy.Arianna trailed after me as we left the party, her footsteps angry and sullen, it made me feel the urge to question her.The cool air hit my face as soon as I stepped out of the hall. I

Chapter Seven

Astra's POV I had maximum satisfaction from this meeting. It healed a tiny part of me and I was satisfied. The look on both Trent's and Arianna's faces was worth everything. It was game on. Jerome was fully in support too. I was reminded of his anger after the council meeting. “Why are you so soft?” Jerome questioned, immediately Trent and his dog walked away. His shoulders were stiff and his jaw ticked, he wasn't looking me in the eyes too. I knew he was really annoyed. “What? Me? Soft? Common!” “You know that's not what I meant. I just think they got off too easily.” He argued. “You think? Common, Jerome. You taught me, have you still not mastered something about me?” I asked, rubbing away the creases.on my forehead as I leaned into the chair. He groaned and I smiled, I was sure he'd let go of all the tension in his shoulders already. “I just don't know how I am going to cope watching that pair of annoying faces everyday while you dish out your slowburn revenge.” He grumbled

Chapter Eight

Astra's POV “Do you believe that spy?” Jerome asked on our way back to our quarters. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, “Really?” He shrugged, I rolled my eyes at him. “I know he is correct. He wouldn't risk giving me wrong information when he is still in my hands and even without that, his right eye twitched repeatedly, yet his mangled wrist trembled with each pause.” I explained,”Jerome, I am sure I could identify a lying spy by now.” I gave him a curt glare. “You never can tell.” Was his response. And it almost infuriated me but I knew better than to take him seriously. Jerome had trained me from the moment I walked out of Full moon pack. He taught me how to fight, deal with cases, preside over cases, and even how to identify spies and lying criminals.

Chapter Nine

Astra's POVBefore the sun went down, I had successfully signed almost a thousand reroute orders. “Astra, the parcels are finished and you need to go and rest now.” Jerome persuaded me for the fifteenth time. Finally, I lifted my head acknowledging him. “Yes, sir.” I responded, mockingly. He stared at me like he would a pup and shook his head affectionately even going forward to run my head. Instantly, I hit his hand, jerking away with a distasteful look on my face that sent him guffawing. But I did get some rest and it was an eventful one. The next morning I was very energetic to continue, with just one cup of coffee and a good night's rest. I spent the day signing the rest of the orders and not only that I got his hunting rights taken away too. Full Moon Pack would have to blame Trent and… Arianna f

Chapter Ten

Astra's POV I woke up refreshed and energetic today. I had a long day ahead of me but it might turn out to be one of my good days and I was looking forward to it. Tempted to wear my catsuit with a slick ponytail. Maybe I wanted to put a little fear in the hearts of those wolves but I decided against it. I also knew Jerome would have had his long disapproving look to start with. With this being another council meeting, of course I was ready to make a statement but I decided against it. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror but not just because of the outfit but for the thoughts in my head. I was reminded of all that had happened in the last few weeks. *Flashback I jumped out of my bed, my brain had just come up with one of the coolest but dangerous ideas. Well, it wasn't dangerous to me so… I sent for the supr
