Chapter 168

Alpha Liam POV

This is interesting. I put my arm around my mate and watch the proceedings, taking delight in the way Celeste’s face drains of colour. The little bitch had tried to frame my mate again and I was enjoying the way she was being humiliated. Alpha Max looked angry as he faced off against the Dominions, who looked flabbergasted at the way he had chosen to halt the ceremony. My mate looked just as intrigued as she glanced between Celeste and Alpha Max, a look of glee on her face. She was enjoying this just as much as I was, if not more so after that stunt Celeste had tried to pull upstairs.

“Alpha Max, with all due respect, what exactly do you mean that Celeste is coming back with you?” Regan Dominion asked faintly.

Her two mates were silent, evidently speechless. Nobody had anticipated that somebody would stop the all–important Alpha ceremony. Now that it had been, the pack couldn’t have looked more cheerful. Pack members lived for gossip and what was happening was bound to be spoken about for the next few months at least.

Luna Regan looked at her daughter for her thoughts on this, but Celeste was swaying on her feet, clutching at Xavier Dominion, her father’s arm, for support. Suspicion began to lurk in my mind as well as a feeling of satisfaction. It looked as though Celeste was about to get her just desserts. I knew Alpha Max by reputation, and he was not one to speak lightly, and he always followed through with his threats. If he was claiming that Celeste was coming back with him, then she might as well pack her bags now. It appeared even Celeste’s parents weren’t enough to intimidate him. I was impressed by the man. I also wished him luck. Why on earth he wanted Celeste to go back with him, I would never know. He could do so much better if he was looking for a chosen mate.

“I believe your daughter already knows the reason with all due respect Mrs Dominion or Luna Regan,” Alpha Max said raising a brow and looking pointedly at Celeste who began to shake her head in denial, all the blood draining out of her face.

Oh, she knew alright. She was simply feigning ignorance in an attempt to get herself out of this mess. It was not going to work. Not this time. I suspected that whatever the reason, Alpha Max would have some form of proof as to what she had done to him.

She looked as though she was on the verge of trying to turn on her heel and run. I almost wished she would simply for the comedic value. My mate leaned forward in her chair, her eyes assessing her so–called sister.

“Whatever she’s done, he looks angry enough for his wolf to come out if she’s not careful,” she murmured.“She’s made him on the verge of losing control. I wonder what she did?” she said lightly.

The way he was eyeing her, she should have just fessed up while she had the chance. The man let out a low growl, causing some in the pack to quiet. Eager looks were on the faces of the pack.
