THE WRONG MATE (One month of lies)“Stay by my side for the next month—like a real mate, after that, I won't disturb you.” I retorted, my heart was beating against my ribs.
His eyes darkened, “Who are you to negotiate with me?” He groaned in-between gritted teeth.
“Just one month, Adrien. I will leave your life forever.” My breath came out rough and raspy.
Adrien slowly released me, stepping away from me. My chest raised and fell with heavy breath, I let out a cough due to how hard he had held me.
“Just one month?” He asked, eyeing me suspiciously.

Celeste Magnus was born a princess… For three years, Alpha Adrien Orion treated her like a stranger. To him, Celeste was nothing but a manipulative woman who lied about their mate bond to trap him in marriage.
His loyalty belonged to another woman, while Celeste endured endless coldness, whispers from the pack, and a husband who never believed a single word she said.
But Celeste is done begging for love.
Pregnant and exhausted from years of humiliation, she finally asks for one thing—freedom.
One month for Adrien to help her awaken her wolf. After that, their marriage will end, and she will leave his pack forever.
Adrien agrees without hesitation. To him, divorcing the woman who deceived him should be easy.
But living under the same roof begins to reveal cracks in the story he has believed for years. The Luna he once ignored shows a strength he never noticed… and the more he watches her, the more something feels terribly wrong.
What if Celeste never lied?
What if the truth about their mate bond was hidden all along?
And when Adrien finally uncovers the secret that destroyed their marriage…
Will it already be too late to stop Celeste from walking away forever?
