FATE’S RECKLESS GAMES : ENTANGLED with the Alpha king. Chapter 23
Celine’s pov.I kept looking up at him. I didn’t know what to be more surprised about. That my husband had sold me off like I was nothing, or that he had possibly killed someone. How damning was this secret that he was willing to trade me just to keep it buried?I always knew Lucien didn’t love me, but this? This was something else entirely. This wasn’t just about neglect or manipulation, this was a deliberate act of betrayal, one he had likely planned for a long time.Even still, sending me away should have raised suspicions. The council, his father, someone would have questioned what happened to the woman he was supposed to rule beside. Unless, of course, he had already accounted for that too.Before I could think any further, I felt something rough graze my skin. A hand. I barely had time to react before I was being pulled forward. The Alpha king’s grip was firm, but not forceful, just enough to guide me without resistance. It was almost… gentle. As if I were something fragile, so

Celine’s pov.The moment the words left my lips, he crashed into me. His mouth claimed mine—hot, insistent, taking what he wanted without hesitation. My body reacted instantly, pressing into him as his hands slid down my waist, gripping me like he was staking his claim.Heat flared through me, a mix of anger, betrayal, and a hunger I had long ignored. This wasn’t love. This wasn’t about feelings. This was about needing something, taking something for ourselves.He didn’t just kiss me, he devoured me. His lips moved with dominance, demanding submission, but I pushed back, refusing to be overpowered so easily. His low growl sent a shiver down my spine as he spun me around, pressing me against the cold desk behind me.“Tell me to stop,” he murmured against my skin, his breath hot on my neck. But I didn’t.His fingers traced the strap of my silk nightwear, dragging it down my shoulder. The fabric slipped, barely hanging on, teasing at what was to come. I felt his lips at the base of my th

Celine’s pov.Kaine must have seen it in my eyes because his smirk vanished, replaced by something even more dangerous. Possession.His hands gripped my waist as he pulled me flush against him, the heat of our bodies searing through the thin fabric of my nightwear. A soft moan escaped my lips, but he swallowed it with a kiss, deep and hungry.Then, with a sharp tug, he peeled the nightwear from my body. Cool air licked over my bare skin, but the moment of exposure lasted only a heartbeat before his body covered mine again, his warmth drowning out everything else.I felt him against me—bare, hard, and needing. One of his hands slid to my thigh, lifting it, opening me to him. My heart pounded, anticipation thick in my throat. I barely had time to breathe before he began to push inside.Slow. Deliberate. Unrelenting.The stretch was intoxicating. A gasp tore from my lips, my nails raking down his back as he filled me inch by inch. He was big, forcing my body to adjust to him, and for a m

Kaine’s pov.I lay in bed watching her stomp to the bathroom. Not long after, she stomped out again, already dressed in her nightwear. Without sparing me a single glance, she yanked the door open and stormed out of my office as if she couldn’t get away from me fast enough.I smirked, but it didn’t reach my eyes. Her defiance was amusing, yet something about the way she left—so determined to put distance between us, it grated on my nerves. She thought this was over. She thought she could walk away without looking back. She was wrong.I ran a hand over my face before pulling the sheet over my waist, knowing Oscar could barge in at any moment. Then again, considering how loud we’d been, he had enough common sense not to disturb me just yet.I exhaled, rolling onto my back, staring up at the ceiling. That was the best sex I’d had in a long time, but wasn’t ready to admit it, not even to myself, but something about Celine made my blood burn hotter, made me lose control in a way I never had

Celine’s pov.I woke up the next morning, my entire body sore, especially my waist. The dull ache was a cruel reminder of the night before, and the memories it carried were ones I wasn’t exactly proud of. I groaned, pressing my hand against my forehead as if I could somehow erase it all.Kaine…Even thinking his name sent a chill down my spine. It was as cold as his exterior, as distant as the way he had treated me after it was over. As if it hadn’t meant anything. And maybe it hadn’t. But it had felt real in the moment.I sighed heavily, pushing away the thought. It was done. There was no reason to dwell on it. If he could act like it was nothing, then so could I.The large wall clock in the room caught my attention, its ticking suddenly too loud in the silence. I needed to get out of here. To see Lucien. To demand answers. Was I even allowed to leave? That thought made my stomach turn. I wasn’t a prisoner, was I?A surge of determination ran through me as I got out of bed and dresse

Celine’s pov.“I know what that little secret of yours is,” I said, my voice unwavering despite the fury boiling inside me.Lucien stood a few feet away from me, his sharp gaze narrowing. There was panic in his eyes, maybe—but it was gone as quickly as it came, replaced by his usual cold indifference.“You’re a traitor to your own pack,” I continued, taking a slow step forward, daring him to deny it. “Not just that, you had someone killed and then covered it up. You think I don’t know? I know everything, Lucien. And I swear, I will expose you. To the pack. To the council. To your father!”That got his attention.The air between us grew tense, thick with warning. Lucien’s jaw clenched as he took a step toward me, his aura shifting from irritation to something much more dangerous.“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, his voice low and almost condescending, but I saw it—the slight twitch in his fingers, the way his nostrils flared. I had struck a nerve.“Oh, but I do,” I

Celine’s pov.I watched him walk out of the study, not even turning back to look at me. The heavy sound of the door slamming shut sent a tremor through me. I flinched, my breath rising in my throat as the room was swallowed by silence.It was only then—only after the rage in me had settled and the bruises started to throb, that the weight of what I had done finally sank in. I’d made a mistake. A terrible, irreversible mistake.The pain in my ribs was sharp, stabbing with every shallow breath I took. I didn’t need a doctor to tell me that something had cracked, maybe even broken. My arms were wrenched behind me, wrists bound so tightly that the rope bit into my skin. I could feel my pulse hammering against the it, my circulation already suffering from how harshly I had been tied. And my mouth—taped shut, it kept me from screaming for help, even if someone had been around to hear me. Which they weren’t. Lucien made sure of that.A sickening realization settled in my stomach…he might act

Kaine’s pov.I needed this. Needed to forget. Forget her. Forget the way she looked at me—eyes full of suspicion and vulnerability, like she knew something I didn’t. Forget how her body felt against mine, her soft curves, the way she seemed to fit perfectly in my hands. I didn’t need to think about her. I didn’t.The woman beneath me was eager, grinding against me with a soft moan as I pushed her hips into the mattress, but all I could feel was the heat in my chest, the dull ache of longing. Her lips, her breath, everything was a dull echo. I clenched my jaw and tightened my grip on her waist, desperate to keep my mind from wandering.She whimpered as I moved harder, faster. The rush of her body beneath mine was supposed to make me forget, supposed to drown out the voice in the back of my head that kept whispering Celine’s name. But it didn’t. It only made it worse.I thrust into her, every movement mechanical, driven by some dark, primal need to expel this fucking frustration. She wa

Celine’s pov. Yet, even as I fought against the dummy, Kaine's likeness haunted me. Had he been telling me the truth about his feelings, or were they simply flirtations used to coax intimacy? Whenever he said he couldn't stop thinking of me, was it just another one of his tricks? The way he looked at me, the inflections in his voice—were they real, or was it all merely a facade played out in front of me to cause desire?The answers eluded me like shadows slipping through my fingers. But there was a part of me that relished the thrill I felt around him. Giving him my body had become something enjoyable, intoxicating even, though I had never intended for it to lead me here, tangled in confusion.Breathless from my physical exertion, I finally leaned against the dummy, hoping to expel the doubts that clouded my judgement. Was there something real brewing beneath all the chaos? What Kaine said played back in my mind like an endless loop. Each word lingered, teasing me with what might be.

Celine’s pov. I ended up doing most of the work before dinner. Who the hell does Tess think she is? What gives her the right to act like she’s superior to me? And who is she to the Alpha king, anyway? It felt as though she had developed an unnecessary hatred for me, but I hadn’t done anything wrong. No, it certainly wasn’t my fault she barged in on me and Kaine like that, leaving me bewildered and embarrassed.Carrying the cutlery in my hands, I walked into the dining area. The solemnity of the moment was overwhelming. This was supposed to be my last task for the evening, yet as I entered, I paused, feeling the weight of the awkwardness in the air. Everyone was already seated, an unspoken tension palpable among them. Kaine sat at the head of the table, exuding authority, his posture regal and commanding. Opposite him sat a man I suspected was Tess's father, a figure of undeniable power who scrutinized the room with a penetrating gaze. Tess, on the other hand, was seated too close to

Celine’s pov. Kaine's cold demeanor snapped back into place as he shifted to a more defensive posture. “Tess! What are you doing here?” She blinked, regaining her composure with remarkable speed. “I came all the way to see you, Kaine. I didn’t mean to interrupt…” Her voice drifted off as she caught sight of me lying beside him, her expression morphing from surprise to annoyance in an instant. “Who’s this?” “Not your concern,” Kaine snapped, the sharpness in his tone leaving no room for negotiation.“Not my concern?” Tess countered, planting her hands on her hips. She was unyielding, the kind of girl who never shied away from confrontation. “I traveled here just to see you, and now you’re telling me to wait because of some girl?” “I’m not talking to you as Kaine,” he said, a steely glint in his eyes, “but as the lord sovereign. Leave us be.”Tess narrowed her eyes at him, incredulous. “You can’t be serious.” She turned to glare at me, as if assessing the threat I posed, and the int

Celine’s pov. What was happening to me? Why? I lay there, cocooned in the unfamiliar stillness of the room, my head resting on Kaine's chest. I could hear the steady thrum of his heartbeat, a rhythm that both calmed and confused me. This man—this enigma who had somehow tangled himself in the fabric of my being—had ignited a conflicting storm within me. I was certain I hated him. I had convinced myself I wanted nothing to do with him. Yet, here I was, aching with an inexplicable yearning.His skin was warm beneath my fingertips as I absentmindedly played with the dark hairs scattered across his chest, my mind racing with the lingering echoes of our earlier confrontation. The way he had touched me, the words he had whispered—were they true? Did they mean anything at all? Or were they just weapons he wielded skillfully, designed to ensnare and manipulate? I cast a sidelong glance at him, attempting to read the icy mask he wore. Kaine was always so composed, a façade meticulously const

Kaine’s pov. When I arrived, she was sitting alone on the edge of the training mat, towel around her neck, a bottle of water dangling loosely from her fingers. Her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were distant. I didn’t like that look. That faraway look like she was drifting away from me. I stepped closer, and she glanced up. Her expression shifted, guarded now. But not afraid. “Back so soon?” she asked, voice dry. I didn’t answer immediately. I stood in front of her, fists clenched, heart pounding too hard. “I don’t like him training you,” I said simply. She scoffed, standing to face me. “Yeah, I figured. Care to explain why, or are you just going to stand there brooding and breaking furniture again?” I stared at her for a long time. Then… “Because I don’t trust him.” “Why?” she asked, stepping closer. “You invited him here.” “I didn’t invite him. He showed up. Like he always does.” Her eyes narrowed. “What does that mean?” “It means…” I dragged a hand down my f

Celine’s pov. My first day of training with matthias was not as hard as I expected. And he was unexpectedly gentle. No unnecessary shouting or shifting like some people I’ve trained with. The training yard had emptied out as the sun dipped low behind the jagged mountains of Bloodfang. The air was thick with the scent of dust and sweat. I wiped the back of my hand across my brow, my breathing still ragged from the final set of drills Matthias had walked me through. He was brutal, sure, but he had a teacher’s patience. Unlike Kaine, who stood a few feet away now, arms crossed, jaw clenched, watching like a shadow ready to pounce. His eyes tracked every move, his disapproval practically radiating off him in waves.Matthias finally nodded, murmured a quick “We’ll pick up tomorrow,” and left, his footsteps fading into silence.I turned slowly, still catching my breath, and found Kaine exactly where he’d been the entire time—silent, unyielding, the Alpha King of his fortress, glaring as i

Celine’s pov. A part of me wanted to trust his words, but another part screamed of the dangers awaiting me. What if I couldn't fulfill the expectation? What if I failed?With Matthias watching us with curiosity, Kaine continued, “This is a chance for you to show everyone, yourself included, that you can hold your own. You’re not merely a guest here, Celine. You’re capable of so much more than you realize.”With that offer came the weight of my insecurities, creeping into my thoughts. The prospect of proving myself felt like an insurmountable task. Yet beneath that daunting thought was a flicker of defiance, a need to resist being seen as weak. For the first time since arriving, I felt the fire within me stir, mixing with the fear that trembled at the edges of my bravado. “Fine. If this is what it takes to earn my place, I’ll join the training.” Kaine’s expression morphed from doubt to something resembling pride. “You’ll adapt faster than you think, Celine. I have faith in you.” “Y

Celine’s pov. As we continued to drive toward Bloodfang, the tension in the car was suffocating. Each moment echoed with unspoken conflicts, and I could feel Kaine's sharp gaze on me, assessing my every expression. I focused on the scenery outside, yet my mind waged its own battle, grappling with the emotions swirling within me.“What will happen when we reach Bloodfang?” I asked quietly, breaking the silence. I needed to know what awaited me at the end of this road.Kaine’s jaw tightened at my question. “You’ll be introduced as my… guest. You will remain under my protection.” “Guest?” I echoed incredulously. “Is that really how you see me? You may have taken me from my home, but that doesn’t grant you ownership over my title or feelings.”He glanced at me, a flicker of something I couldn’t quite place beneath his stoic facade. “This isn’t the time to test boundaries, Celine. My role is to keep you safe, and that is all I’ll guarantee until we arrive.”The words “keep you safe” stru

Celine’s pov. The morning sun crept through the large window panes, spilling light onto the polished hardwood floors. I sat by the edge of the bed, already dressed, my body still sore but manageable now. The pain had dulled into a distant throb—nothing compared to what it had been days ago. The healer had done a decent job, but it wasn’t just my ribs that felt bruised. Everything in me—my trust, my pride, my sense of belonging, it all felt broken in pieces.Kaine hadn’t said much since he told me we were leaving today.Bloodfang…I had known this day would come the moment he stood in that council ring and claimed me like I was his property. Not like someone he wanted, but someone he owned.He hadn’t asked me if I wanted to go. Because he knew the answer. And because I knew this was no longer about what I wanted. But despite the bitterness sitting on my tongue, I knew exactly why I was going. The politics, the reputation, the protection. But most of all—because of him. And that made m
