The Alpha Chose My Sister, So I Chose Revenge

Chapter 1 "Celeste, your resignation has been approved, but... are you certain about this? Alpha Marcus seemed surprised when he signed it. Perhaps you should reconsider?" Celeste kept her eyes fixed on the resignation letter, her fingers tracing the familiar signature at the bottom. She shook her head slowly. "No need to reconsider. He's made his choice." The HR manager shifted uncomfortably. "But Celeste, everyone knows how much the Alpha—" "How much he what?" Celeste's laugh was hollow. "Cares about me? Values me? Loves me?" What the HR manager didn't know was that Celeste wasn't just another pack member leaving the company. She was Marcus Sterling's mate—had been for four years. Their mating bond was a secret, buried beneath pack politics and his personal shame. But love and mating were two very different things, as she'd learned six weeks ago. The night she miscarried their first pup—alone in a hospital room at 2 AM, bleeding and terrified—she'd called him seventeen times through their mate bond. When he finally answered, his voice was thick with sleep and irritation. "Celeste, it's the middle of the night. Can't this wait until morning?" "Marcus, I'm losing the pup. I need you here. The doctors need consent for—" "Look, I'm sure it's just cramping. She-wolves go through this all the time. Take some painkillers and call me in the morning." The line went dead, and with it, something in their mate bond snapped forever. She'd signed her own consent forms while hemorrhaging, her hands shaking so badly she could barely hold the pen. Her wolf whimpered in pain, calling for her mate, but he never came. When the doctor told her the pup was gone, she was still alone. Marcus showed up three days later—not to comfort his grieving mate, but to drag her back to work because his assistant, had accidentally deleted important files and he needed Celeste to recover them. He had been with Raven. Raven. Her younger sister. The woman who'd been warming his bed while his mate was losing their pup. "People change," Celeste said quietly to the HR manager. "I've given him four years of my life. That's enough." The irony wasn't lost on her. Marcus had claimed her as his mate because she was useful—the brilliant daughter of a neighboring pack's Beta who could make his company profitable. But he'd never wanted a true mate. He'd wanted a business partner who occasionally warmed his bed. Now that Raven was back from her Europe, he had what he'd always really wanted. Before she left, though, Celeste had one final gift for her Alpha. Something that would set them both free.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The phone barely rang once before Damien's voice thundered through the speaker.

"Celeste fucking Moonborn." His tone was deadly calm. "Did you just call me because you're bored?"

At the Blackwood Industries headquarters, every Alpha in the boardroom froze. Nobody had ever heard Damien Blackwood speak with such rage.

"I spent eight years watching you pine after that worthless excuse of an Alpha. Eight years of you telling me we were 'just friends' while you played house with him. And now you call me?"

Celeste's chest tightened. She'd forgotten how raw his voice could sound when he was truly angry.

"You think I'm some backup plan you can activate when your first choice fails?"

"Damien, I—"

"Shut up." The words cracked like a whip. "I moved three states away because of you. I haven't touched any she-wolf in four years because of you. And you call me like I'm some fucking consolation prize?"

The silence stretched between them, heavy with years of rejection and pain.

"One month," he finally said. "Clean up your mess. After that, I'm coming to collect what you threw away. And this time, little wolf, you don't get to break me again."

The line went dead.

Later that night, she moved through Marcus's house like a ghost, methodically erasing every trace of their failed bond. The rejection papers were safely locked in the safe, along with her resignation letter. She'd burned their mating ceremony photos, watching as the flames consumed her younger, hopeful face.

The front door slammed shut downstairs, and she heard Marcus's heavy footsteps on the stairs.

"Celeste?" His voice echoed through the house. "What's that smell?"

She quickly closed the fireplace screen and turned to face him as he entered the study. His shirt was wrinkled, his hair mussed, and he smelled like Raven's perfume.

"Just burning some old documents," she said, keeping her voice steady.

His eyes narrowed as he spotted the ash on the hearth. "What kind of documents?"

"Financial records. Tax forms from years ago. Things we don't need anymore."

Marcus stepped closer, his gaze suspicious. But before he could interrogate her further, a sound from upstairs made them both freeze.

"Marcus! Help me!"

Raven's scream pierced the night. Marcus abandoned Celeste instantly, racing toward the sound.

Celeste followed, dread pooling in her stomach.

She found them in the nursery—the room they'd prepared for their lost pup. Raven was on the floor, surrounded by shattered wood and torn fabric. The crib Celeste had lovingly assembled was destroyed, the mobile she'd hand-painted scattered in pieces.

"I'm so sorry," Raven sobbed, reaching for Marcus. "I came to see the nursery because I wanted to help you both heal from your loss. But when I saw all these baby things... I just broke down."

She gestured to the destruction around her. "I got so emotional thinking about your poor dead pup that I accidentally knocked everything over. I tried to catch the crib but it all just... fell apart."

Marcus knelt beside her, pulling her into his arms. "It's okay. You were just trying to help."

Celeste stared at the wreckage. The crib had taken her weeks to build by hand. The mobile had been painted with tiny wolves and moons, each one a prayer for their unborn child. The rocking chair had been her grandmother's, passed down through generations.

All of it was destroyed.

"I feel so terrible," Raven continued, her tears soaking into Marcus's shirt. "Maybe... maybe it's better this way? You can start fresh now. Have a real nursery for your future pups."

The implication was clear. Future pups with her, not Celeste.

Marcus's eyes hardened as he looked at his mate. "She's right. This room has just been a shrine to grief. It's not healthy."

Celeste's voice came out as a whisper. "That was our pup's room."

"Our pup is dead!" he roared. "This junk is just a reminder of failure. Get rid of it. All of it. Tonight."

"I said clean it up, Celeste!" Marcus snapped when she didn't move. "All of it! I want every piece of this garbage out of my house by tomorrow morning!"
