Chapter 1
The party was at peak as everyone converse busily with one another and as the host, Isabella wore a perfect smile and used her sweet tongue to flatter and talk her way through the guest with a little bit of touching, lingering gaze, and a low smirk.
Juliette watched from the side, hiding the disdain from showing on her face as she conversed with the omega spouses in the area with a polite smile. Though she seems focused on the conversation, her eyes would sometimes glance at the tall woman with long white hair and green eyes.
'She looks like a goddess.' She thought. 'Maybe I should befriend her?'
But, before she could even approach her or even think of ways to, Celeste had already shifted her gaze to the woman beside her with an affectionate smile. Helena Dupont, from what she heard, is the short tanned alpha who's married to Celeste.
Juliette heard rumours of how perfect and wonderful Helena was though she doubted that. No alpha is that perfect. Especially with how she treats her wife. Juliette looked at Isabella from afar and saw her eyes transfixed on the lone woman with curly brown hair and green eyes standing on the corner with a scowl on her face.
'She seems scary…'
Helena held Celeste's hands and kissed her palm, she smiled sweetly as Celeste held her hands tightly. Warm hands enveloping around her fingers.
"I'm sorry it took too long," Helena murmured. "I need to talk to one of the investors about something urgent." She added as Celeste nodded in understanding.
"You don't need to worry about me." Celeste whispered as she bent down and kissed Helena's cheeks. "I know you're very busy and besides, I have Vivi to accompany me." She smiled gently as Helena nodded with a smile.
"Yeah." Helena replied as she kissed Celeste back and went out of the door where a gentleman stood an apologetic smile while holding a briefcase. He only really came here to meet with Helena.
Celeste's face turned cold as she saw Helena's back, she turned her gaze towards the party with a bored expression. She really didn't want to go in here but it's a must. In the corner of her eyes, she saw the host, Isabella Renard, conversing with Margot.
'Odd.' She thought but she shrugged it off. Mrs. Renard sure is a flirt so maybe she's trying to ease up the mood around Margot. 'Ugh.' Remembering it, Celeste frowned as she recalled the scene of when Mrs. Renard tries to flirt with her and fails miserably. 'Thankfully Vivi… and Helena isn't there or else…' She chuckled imagining a very protective Helena.
"Why are you here alone? What, that mutt left you alone in here?" Celeste looked up from the source of the voice and saw a tall woman with a perfectly styled dirty blonde hair and her gorgeous and piercing purples eyes looking down at her as she clicked her tongue. Her suit perfectly suited her stature and shape, truly perfect.
"She just had urgent business." Celeste replied with a wide smile as she tried her best not to cling to Vivi's arms. Vivi hates it, after all. "You know how it is." Celeste chuckled softly as she noticed that Vivi doesn't seem to listen to her at all as her eyes gaze not at her but what's behind her. She frowned, feeling displeased.
As she looked behind, she saw the poor wife of Mrs. Renard's. Her name was Juliette, wasn't it?
"What's wrong?" Celeste asked with a smile. "Do you know her?" Vivi looked at her with a frown, she soon eased up her eyebrows and shook her head.
"It's nothing." Vivienne replied as she focused her gaze on Celeste who's saying something. She's sure that Juliette saw her, how could she not? Their eyes met for a few seconds before Juliette looked away immediately. It's quite cute, honestly.
Vivienne smirked. As she held Celeste's hands appeasing her. She also saw Helena from the distance walking towards their direction as the ever oblivious Celeste perked up from the touch with her ears turning beet red.
"What were you saying again?" She asked in a low tone as Celeste stammered on her words. Vivienne chuckled and pulled her hands away seeing Helena quite near as Celeste continued her words.
"I heard she's Juliette Renard, the poor wife of the playboy Mrs. Renard." She answered as Helena who heard it also looked intrigued.
"Who are you two talking about?" Helena asked with a sweet smile as Celeste looked both displeased and shocked from scaring her but soon smiled warmly and held Helena's hands and rubbed her thumb against the back of her hand. "Mom Coeur, we're outside. Not now." Helena whispered shyly as Celeste chuckled seeing her obedient alpha.
Vivienne rolled her eyes and left the scene seeing the two lovebirds acting all sweet as if ignoring that they're in a party. Celeste saw it and looked at her longingly before framing her attention back to Helena and smiled as she pointed at the girl at the back surrounded by guests.
"That's her." Celeste spoke as Helena looked at the beautiful men and women surrounding an omega wearing a light purple long dress. She's beautiful though from what she heard from Celeste, she really does look pitiable.
As Celeste continued to explain the rumours she heard from everyone regarding Isabella and Helena adding the words she heard from people who interacted with her, they both conclude that they must refrain from her though Celeste expressed desire on befriending Juliette. Helena was unsure why but if it's what Celeste wants, she wouldn't really mind and besides, it would be good for Celeste to have friends too.
