FATE’S RECKLESS GAMES : ENTANGLED with the Alpha king. Chapter 50
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 face. “It means Matthi

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

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.The silk gown clung to my body like a second skin, its shimmering feel mocking the cold emptiness I felt inside. I barely moved as I stood stiffly at the grand party, the chatter of wolves ringing in my ears. I shivered, despite the warmth emanating from the fireplace. It felt cold, which was a contrast to the atmosphere. It’s a feeling I had grown accustomed to, one that haunts me in my dreams and remained long after I woke.The plush carpet under my feet provided a little bit of comfort, but that was only for a while…a while until I caught sight of my husband. His chiseled profile was lit up by the soft glow of the chandelier. He threw his head back in laughter, as his eyes crinkled at the corner. Lucien…my mate, my husband—these words felt dry, as dry as the bond we both shared. Who knew marriage could turn into a nightmare?I watched him closely, searching for something…anything that might explain how we got here. But deep down, I already knew. Everything changed t

Celine’s pov.My body reacted before my mind could catch up. I flinched, squeezing my eyes shut and bracing myself for the impact. But nothing came…There was heavy silence as I slowly opened my eyes. Lucien’s hand was still raised, but instead of striking me, his fingers twitched, curling into a fist before relaxing. Then, without warning, he grabbed my chin, forcing my face up to meet his gaze.His grip wasn’t bruising, but it was firm and possessive.“Look at me.” His low voice sounded controlled, but the storm in his eyes betrayed his restraint.I swallowed as my pulse quickened against my skin.“You humiliated me tonight.” He leaned in, his breath warm against my cheek. “I won’t tolerate it again.His thumb brushed over my jaw quite gently, before tilting my head higher. “Get a grip of yourself.” He murmured. “You see that room over there?” He said, pointing at the room we just walked out from. “I would be meeting important people in there, so don’t sabotage things for me.”He le

Celine’s pov.He took a step closer. Not rushed, not hesitant. I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry. He leaned in slightly, his voice dropping to a murmur only me could hear.“Did you hurt your wrist?”The question was soft and gentle, yet it sent a slow, searing heat curling through my veins.I didn’t know what unsettled me more—the quiet, possessive way he asked it… or the way my pulse betrayed me, hammering beneath my skin. His eyes flicked downward, his gaze sweeping over my wrist in a cold, assessing way. He wasn’t just looking—he was studying, as if searching for the slightest hint of damage.Something in me cracked. Like a dam bursting, every emotion I had fought to suppress…Lucien’s neglect, the humiliation of this evening, the drunk man’s grip, everything came rushing to the surface. And before I could stop it, a sob tore from my throat.Tears welled up, hot and uncontrollable. I turned away sharply, my back to him, mortified. Why was I crying? Was it exhaustion? Frustrat

Kaine’s pov.“My lord,”Oscar, my beta’s voice cut through my sinful thoughts. I didn’t acknowledge him immediately. Instead, I let the moment stretch, my fingers tapping lazily against the polished wood of my desk. Finally, I raised a brow, silently urging him to speak.“I also found this about Lucien Greythorne.” He said, stepping forward and placing a folded sheet of paper in front of me.I frowned, picking it up with slow fingers. “And why didn’t you hand me this earlier?” My voice was calm, but there was sharpness beneath it.Oscar hesitated before clearing his throat. “I was… letting you savor the first discovery before dropping another.”I exhaled through my nose, shaking my head slightly. He had a habit of thinking he’s clever. It amused me sometimes, tonight, it simply made me impatient. But I let it slide. My gaze dropped to the paper as I unfolded it, scanning the words before me. And then, slowly, a smile curled at the corner of my lips. Interesting!A low chuckle rumbled

Celine’s pov.Even under the harsh mall lights, he looked stunning. His thick black hair was messy yet stylish. His olive-toned skin complemented his sharp cheekbones and straight nose. But it was his eyes that really caught my attention. They were a deep, hypnotic green that seemed to hold me in place.I felt it again. That pull. That eerie stillness in my veins. What was the Alpha king of bloodfang pack doing here?He didn’t even look at me. He simply continued picking up the scattered mess, his long fingers brushing over the ruined items with an almost infuriating lack of urgency.Before I could fully process it, another person rushed forward—a young employee, eyes wide and a panic filled face. Perhaps it was fear, but they didn’t dare let a man like him kneel on their floor picking up shattered glass. They took over the task immediately.I exhaled sharply, forcing myself to stand. I didn’t know if this was a coincidence or something else entirely, but the idea of running into him

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

Kaine’s pov. I had never felt this much anger. The fury coursing through my veins was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. As I stood there, watching the guards prepare to drag Celine away, my hands clenched into fists, and my vision blurred with rage. The onlookers, including that goddamn ex-husband of hers, stood by, doing nothing. Their indifference was a betrayal I couldn’t forgive.But it wasn’t just anger that consumed me; it was the overwhelming sense of possession. I had let her return home, hoping my fears were unfounded. Yet, when Oscar brought news of her captivity, I lost control. The thought of her suffering, of being held against her will, ignited a fire within me that demanded action. I had to get her back. No matter the cost.The journey to her was a blur. Each step fueled by the burning need to see her safe. When I finally reached her, the sight of her bruised and battered form nearly brought me to my knees. But I couldn’t show weakness. Not now.“You’re mine, Celin

Celine’s pov.I lay still, staring at the ceiling, listening to the fire crackle softly in the corner of the room. The dim glow cast flickering shadows against the walls, the only movement in the otherwise still space.My body ached, every breath sending sharp, stabbing pains through my ribs. I was exhausted, but sleep wouldn’t come. The bed beneath me didn’t feel foreign, but the blankets were too heavy, the air too thick with the scent of burning wood and herbs.I was still waiting.Waiting for the healer to return with the broth. Waiting for the pain to dull. Waiting for something—anything—to make this feel less like a nightmare. But more than anything, I was waiting for him to leave.Kaine hadn’t moved from his spot near the door. He stood there, silent and still, watching me. I refused to look at him.The weight of his presence was suffocating. He had already taken so much from me—my freedom, my future, my very sense of self. And yet, he lingered, as if he had every right to stan
