Chapter 39
Celeste felt a strange wave of safety when she listened to Jeremy's words. He said no one was gonna hurt her, and she believed him.
Even the anxious wolf inside her seemed to calm down a little. Jeremy stood up from his seat to go see who was lurking outside the house. Celeste put down her book, ready to follow him. But he shook his head, "No. You should just stay here. You're not fully recovered. I'll handle it." She wanted to argue, but she saw the determination and concern in his eyes. She knew she couldn't shift yet. If there was danger outside, given her current state, she would only distract Jeremy. So she nodded in agreement. Jeremy gave her arm a reassuring squeeze before turning around and heading towards the door quietly. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, startling both of them. Celeste knitted her brows. She thought the figure was sneaking outside, and now they had the gut to ring the doorbell and confront them head on? Jeremy lookedRelated chapters

"I'm just still angry that he brought that rogue into our pack and got you injured." So that was why Jeremy was mad at their Alpha? When he spoke of Kent, the knot between his eyebrows deepened. Celeste put a hand on Jeremy's shoulder. He stiffened a little, but she could feel him relax beneath her hand. "I'm safe now. And my wolf is recovering. And I don't think Byron meant to let Kent in. He didn't know his true color. Kent even managed to pass the Goddess's test, you know. Who would have thought he could turn against us?" "Kent? Are you on a first-name basis now?" The words came out of Jeremy's mouth. Celeste was caught off guard by the sudden question. How did they end up here? Did that even matter? She didn't feel the need to explain it to Jeremy, but she was a little uneasy under his burning gaze. So she shrugged. "Well, we only talked briefly at a gathering. And before everything went downhill, Kent…" she was going to continue when

Tomorrow night would be a full moon. The night sky darkened, but Celeste was unable to settle into a peaceful slumber. She tossed and turned, her mind racing with thoughts and worries that refused to leave her alone. She tried to count sheep, but that didn't seem to work. The more she tried to relax, the more anxious she became. As the hours ticked by, the tension in her body continued to mount until it felt like her very skin was vibrating with nervous energy. She couldn't put her finger on what she was feeling, but the feeling was there, a constant presence in the back of her mind. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Celeste began to feel the tug of sleep at the corners of her mind. Her eyelids grew heavy. She let out a deep sigh of relief. She closed her heavy eyes, and when she opened them again, it was morning. But at least she didn't have to toss and turn and wait for the break of the day now. Then she realized she was wrong. Because even
Unwanted Mate Chapter 42
In a fleeting moment, Celeste was back to Jeremy's first full-moon shift. Things were not so different from now. Jeremy had paced the room restlessly, just as he was doing now. The door had been firmly shut, and both of them had been so close. Back then, Jeremy had been suppressing his wolf for days, and Celeste had been teasing his nerves at the door. So the wolf lost control. This time, they were both ready for what was to come. Maybe it would be different. She hoped so. She lay in bed and closed her eyes. She could hear the wind outside and feel the moon slowly climbing into the sky and casting its magic. Yet, it wasn't enough to coax her wolf out of hiding. Before she knew it, her thoughts drifted from the window to the door, trying to picture what Jeremy was up to on the other side. Celeste opened her eyes immediately, shaking her head to snap out of her imagination. She grabbed her phone and started scrolling, hoping to distract herself. Bu

Celeste's heart quickened as she sensed Jeremy's wolf pacing outside her window. She strained to hear the delicate tap of his paws landing on the roof and feel the vibrations through the air. She could practically sense the beating of his powerful heart just beyond the glass and the curtain. What was Jeremy planning? Celeste couldn't help but wonder. But soon, the noise outside ceased, leaving an eerie quiet in its wake. She listened intently and picked up the faint sound of the wolf settling on the rooftop. That only added to her confusion. Celeste glanced at the clock, noting that Jeremy had been gone for less than one hour. Why had he returned so soon? Had something gone wrong? But if so, why was Jeremy now frozen in place? What was he waiting for? With Jeremy's enhanced sensation, surely he knew she was aware of him. So what was he doing outside her window? Celeste's mind was full of questions, unsure of how to react. Despite th

As Jeremy's wolf drew dangerously close to Celeste, its powerful muscles coiled like springs before launching him straight toward her. Celeste was caught off guard. As the wolf's sharp claws grazed against her skin, Celeste's mind raced with doubt. Had she been too naive, too trusting of Jeremy? She guessed she could only blame herself for getting under the wolf's skin. Her body went backward. She braced herself for the impact of a fall. She expected the air to get knocked out of her lungs. But the impact or the pain never came. As she hit the ground, she was met with an unexpected softness that cushioned her. The wolf's supple tail had swooped in at the last moment to break her fall. Unlike that night, the wolf had exercised great restraint and didn't land his entire weight on Celeste's body. Instead, with remarkable finesse, the wolf landed beside her, his powerful tail sandwiched between Celeste and the unforgiving ground. Celeste slowly opened her e
Unwanted Mate Chapter 47
For some reason, Celeste was more upset about Jeremy running away from her than the fact that he may have caused her harm. She had no idea why she felt that way. Maybe she was just a bit hurt because she was shut out by the person she cared about. She knew she was being unfair. Jeremy was just trying to protect her in his way. But as she spoke, the words that came out of her mouth were tinged with the raw emotions she couldn't keep hidden. Jeremy seemed to be taken aback by that. "I'm sorry," he uttered, his memory failing him as to how many times he had apologized to Celeste. In the presence of his wolf, he felt like a coward – a spineless individual who could only flee. "In the end, you don't believe in your wolf," Celeste let out a soft sigh, trying to release a heavy weight on her chest. "Yes, at least at that time I didn't trust my wolf at all." He nodded slightly. At that time? What about now? Did he trust his wolf now?
Unwanted Mate Chapter 45
Celeste was ready to talk about her mate bond with Jeremy. Her heart sped up a little. She didn't know what was driving her to say that out loud. Was it the pull of the moon or the unbridled comfort of their closeness that loosened her tongue? Or perhaps it was a sense of reverence that filled her being as she realized the lengths Jeremy went to control his beastly urges for her? She couldn't quite put a finger on it. The thought surfaced in her mind and freed itself from her lips without a moment of delay, like a bird from a cage. But the sudden burst of words didn't leave her with any regret or remorse. Jeremy's wolf stirred in her arms, eyes blinking several times as if he was trying to make sense of what Celeste had just said. Then, in a sudden outburst of excitement, he gazed at Celeste, tail swishing back and forth. Though the wolf's face didn't change, Celeste swore that he was smiling. She couldn't help with the smile on her face,
Unwanted Mate Chapter 46
Celeste felt a whirlwind of emotions before she climbed up to the roof. Was she really going to have a heart-to-heart with Jeremy? The thought made her skin itch nervously. But as soon as she reached the roof, the noises in her mind subsided. She stood on the edge of the roof and gazed at the vast forest that stretched to the horizon and the sun that was slowly sinking behind the trees, painting the sky with a radiant palette of orange and red hues. Wispy clouds drifted across the sky, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of shapes and colors. For a short moment, she was lost in sight. She stepped closer to the edge of the roof, the wind tugging at her hair and clothes. She looked to her side and found Jeremy was also staring at the land and the sky far away from them. They sat on the eaves, leaning against the warm brick wall of the house. They enjoyed the silence and peace that enveloped them. Neither of them felt the need to say anything. T
