CAROLINE ESTER'S POVI tilt my head sideway as sweat started to roll down my forehead. I look up to see if the air conditioner was turned off. I step closer...and it wasn't, the air condition is working just fine but my body is in burning sensation. I walk wobbily towards my desk to grab a fan. I felt thirsty so I decided to went outside my room to quench my thirst. I saw my aunt glaring at me when I walked passed her. "Brat." She commented, which I clearly heard. She got her issues again as usual but I decided not to talk back. "I heard that the lockdown has something to do with you?" That claim of hers made me stop and turn my body facing my aunt who has her hands crossed as her eyebrows furrow. "What do you mean? I have nothing to do with it." I clench my left fist and hide it ay my back while receiving my aunt's icy stare. "You are a menace and that is why these things are happening. Can you marry off sooner so this place will be a better place to live in?" Despite being
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POVIt was a warm night, the weather cooperate at our event. Under the starry night, the outside event seems to be romantic for couples. The event is opt to start at 8:00 pm and by 7:00 pm, visitors started to arrive. I sat at the front, on my throne as I simply wait for the announcers to announce two women's name. Caroline and Diana's name. I tap the rest bar of the throne chair as I tilt my head at gazing at the door. I am making it obvious that I am waiting for particular attendees. The band started to play a slow song as the announcer announce the maiden's name and their family's background. I kept the sound at the back of my mind, still tapping my feet impatient for their presences. "Where are you two?" I whispered to myself. My sight got suddenly blocked by a standing man in front, I gaze my chin up and saw a grin on someone's face. "Is she coming or not?" He stepped at the side then turn his body sidely while his hands were at his back. He leans closer
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POV.I am very much please that the event seems to be effective to my subjects, however seems to be not applicable to me. Many women tried to come near me but I never felt connection that would allow me to know whether my mate is near or not. In short, my mate is not here. I do not want to roam this entire event just for the sake of finding my supposedly mate. I would look as desperate as fvck if I do that. "Alpha Knight. I am Krizia Aisle Mendez of Monteverde " A woman approaches me with a big crown on her head and introduced herself, "You look extra handsome today." She said complimenting my looks. I gaze from down to her head. "Did my father sent you to be hear?" I directly ask while looking at other directions, not wanting to meeet her eyes. She wore this white dress with slit and glitters at the side of it. I think he is a luna of another kingdom.and from how I can see her, this woman can definitely satisfy my father's standard of my future wife. Her
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POVWhen our lips touched. I didn't felt it. It was weird for me to hope that if I kiss Diana that night, feelings will overflow. I still hoped for that despite knowing that someone's been messing with my mind. Diana looked elegant that night, he fine skin and the way her hair bounce freely, always gets me. She always had that impact towards me and that was what I'm trying to test.Diana had my dick more than Caroline but my body kept on missing the body it collided with for just a night. I wanted to make sure that I am feeling this for real and I needed Diana for that. I did. I used Diana to test my body's wants and I know thatIt was over....For me and Diana—it was all over. I lost the emotion that I tried to heal for such a long time. "Can I see the list of attendees we had for those first 2 nights of our event?" I slide my working glass down the bridge of my nose as I command my secretary to give me the list. He went to a drawer and pulled an envelope. H
ALPHA KADE ARCHANGEL'S POVWatching how rebellious my son turned out to be is making my head break into pieces. If only I can go back to the past and make straight decisions then I wonder how our father-son relationship, would it be like this?"He is looking for a woman named Caroline Ester. I worked on the attendance during the event as you wished and I found no one by that name attending the first two days of the Prince Alpha's Event." The butler took an envelope and stretches his hand then bow his head lower as he hand me the envelop. "Inside is the copy of al the guest who attended. I checked the lists very carefully. Went through names and names but saw none by that name." he reported while his head were still lowering to the floor. A vertical wrinkle appeared in between my eyebrows. "My son is not getting dump, isn't he?" My butlers mouth was pulled in tightly as he shook his head hesitantly. " I am not certain about that Alpha Kade. There was no news about him actually pursu
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV."You cannot pass this door madam." I was obscenely devastated by the sudden stop ,again. This is the third time that I have been restricted by some security personnel just for this day. I wonder why because other people were just getting their days normally, why couldn't I?There was a clear order from the higher positions that the securities and restrictions have been lifted. What is wrong with this bald looking lady?I look at her and then my eyebrow raised as I watch her look at me from toe to my face. Someone's giving their icky stare at me. I do not even know this woman. I never even met her before. "Uhm. Excuse me. I thought that the kingdom already lifted the restrictions?. Can I ask what are your orders for restraining me from doing my basic right?" I asked, putting my sling bag at the side of my car. She slide few inches of her stick inside my car and then looked around the inside of my car. I pushed her stick outside. "Can you get that off. As far as
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV."Please cancel all my meetings with those men for this day. I want this day to be available because I am going to attend an event later." I instructed my personal maid, handing her a phone, a new one that I bought yesterday. "If later my dad arrived, I want you to cakl me using this phone only. I already put my number in the contacts so it will be easier for you."After those sudden number of suitors, my aunt decided to arranged them meetings with me and since my dad is not around, I cannot really decide to turn her down so just like that...I have sets of meetings for this week. However, I planned to cancel this day. This is the day. I greeted the sun earlier with a beam of sunshine on my face. I do not know why I am extremely excited for this day, I miss knight. I miss him despite knowing him for just a day, maybe this what makes us possible mates. "Should I wear this or not?" I took a dress from the hanger and place it infront of me as I face addi who is cur
CAROLINE ESTER'S POVI feel like all the pair of eyes here are suddenly directed at us. "My woman." he said as he slide down his hand wrapping my waist then grabbed me to his side.Whispers started to roam around, creating echos in every corner of this gigantic place. "Who is she? Why is our Alpha Prince being clingy to this woman?""I haven't seen her before, what kingdom does she belong to?"These are the questions that have been repeatedly asked around. I, myself don't even want to answer that. Who am I?. I am just someone's step daughter and someone who got rejected in a kingdom they call as Starry Curse Pack. I was wondering why it was named as how it got named but I think my life rotated on the curse part of our Kingdom's name. I blinked my eyes in disbelief of how he is addressing me right now. I bit the side of my lip to suppressed myself from reacting overly. I am aware that he is talking to the person in front of him but my heart is beating madly that I was not able to
CAROLINE ESTER'S POVI thought life was over for me. "He took him." Hanna was crying on the floor. Those were the line that made me lose interest in escaping. "Lexus took Roi. I already created a plan to help you escape but he used the child to stop me from doing so." It felt like my only chance of escape crumpled. I took her hands and pressed it nervously. "I do not care about escaping. I just want you to make sure that my son is safe. Who knows what he can do."Lexus knew what he was doing that day. He even gave me an offer— a conditional one. I asked Hanna to go back and find my son.Why would I escape if my son is being held by him."You are free now. I am letting you go but once you step out of that cell, everything that you will left here, you can't take back." The sly smile on his face screams torment. "Do not do this to me. He is just a child.He deserves to be free from danger."I grab his feet. Without any force or sign of attempt to escape. I put my palms against each
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POV"What in the world is happening???!" I watch as the guards pin down Lexus. "What is this? Let go of me! I command!" He shouted. Dad stared at me. "I guess it's time that you knew the truth before that..." He motioned the guards to take him out. I had to take another seat when he walk towards me. Something felt wrong. "What is it?" "It is about Caroline." I nervously glance to him when he mentioned her name. I immediately raise my voice when he remained silent. "What the fuck? What was that and why are you mentioning her?" ..."I knew where she is." My eyes widened. "Y-You knew? Since when?" My head are spinning with thoughts as I wait for his lips to move and spit out words. He took a heavy sigh. "I cannot see you suffer more. Hear me out first. I thought that it would be a great way to keep you off her but I was wrong."For the first time, in front of him, I cried. Tears were streaming down my face and I can easily identify its reason. Betrayal. "I gav
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL 'S POV. "We have decided to consider potential alpha king aside from the Alpha Prince. We are always free to pick the best among the kingdoms and put him into trial to prove his worth." One of the council representatives spoken as he reads the roll paper that has the decision of the council as a whole. "I told you this would happen." My dad whispers, his face is cannot be painted. He listens attentively to the councils. I let a breath put of my lungs while my brows furrowed. "They can't do it that easily."The councils gathered today, upon hearing how the longing had weakened me.How come that this is my problem now?. Of only they gave her sudden disappearance some attention then maybe she would've not gone for this long. "We all knew that this is possible. An Alpha without his mate will suffer dismay, depression and temporary weakness." I stated. We sat on a long table with me on the end and my father on my side. The councils were distributed on the side seats."
LEXUS ARENDELLE'S POVI tap the long bar on my keyboard, the video froze into an image. "You sly bitch. I knew you would betray me anytime soon. Who are you calling to?" I zoom the photos of Hanna, tearing and talking to Caroline.I rotate my working chair to the side of my bed while a wine of glass is in between my fingers. I place the glass near my lips, shake it a little before slurping all its bitterness. I wipe off the excess. I put a CCTV on Caroline's room because I am aware of Hanna's fragility. I knew she would end up siding on her so called friend anytime soon. I managed to get her on my side. I put Diana in a good facility before the Issue of her and Hanna gets public and that is also another reason why Hanna follows me. My fist turned into ball. My jaw clenches alongside my tight grip over the wine class, which eventually broke into my hand. Now, I need to handle them one by one. "How can you disappoint me like this, Hanna. Your life would have been better if you st
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POVI felt lost.I feel like my world is crumbling on me. This is too heavy and I was never prepared for this. This is the type of pain that I cannot ease by just pretending that I am fine— I am not and I cannot be...not now—specifically not now.No matter how hard I try to locate her, to find her scent and to see her again— nothing worked. My life is literally on the edge with all the precrowning responsibilities, her disappearance and the idea of not being with her. •••••"What's the outside ruckus all about? Are they protesting again?" Addi spoke as she enters my office. She is carrying a red suitcase with her which she drops on the side chair on her way. Tyler kicks the bottles on the floor onto the side, compiling them with the others. "They are mad mad, bro. What the hell are you doing with your life?" Tyler looks around. I haven't clean my office yet and his eyes were screaming disgust as he roams his gaze, and he is so bad hiding it. I throw my hand in
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV. It felt like an asylum already. Everyday is the same as yesterday. These endless corridor and lonely room are enough to make my mind in chaos. My feet are getting numb and pale from the constant attempts of escape I had. It hurts to stand with it as much as it pains me internally to realize that I cannot stand on my own in the situation I am in. My life goes on and on with the same room and same setting. Everything sucks but I am keeping myself alive because I believe that someday I will break through this. Hanna visits me regularly. Despite being grateful for her doing my son good, I can't help but to wonder...Why can't she do anything about helping me escape?It has been years and she could have thought of something. ......I took a sigh, as I stare at her in disbelief. Hanna came here so often and tells me everything about outside and most of the time vents out. I find it so confusing how she still treats me as a friend but at the same time can keep up w
HANNA ERICA CAVIAR'S POV"Lex Roi. He is growing up looking like his father's image. Sooner or Later, things will be revealed. I guess it will be safer to come clean now." I sat on the bed, my heart was pounding hard as I release every words. Lexus won't like the idea. "Come clean? Huh?" He scoff, snarling at me for opening up the topic. Like how I expect he would react. He firmly pointed his finger at me as his eyes glares at me. He kept on walking back and forth, brushing his fingers through his hair and slapping his forehead with his palm. "I already receive a bad news. I do not need another problem from you. The King Alpha. He wants to have Caroline back." He gave out a sardonic scoff. "Like how dare he? We had an agreement. We are doing okay so what is his point.?. He can just have the child, as easy as how he gave him up." ....staring at him, almost with a blank expression. I can't help but to think about a particular question that I contemplated to ask. "Why did you do
KADE ARCHANGEL'S POV" Your son.......he was not doing his job and still not doing it right. After the disappearance of his Luna. He became too focus on finding her. This is a huge problem." I nodded, awkwardly rolling my tongue inside my mouth and biting it.The council had their gazes focused on me. I can feel the intensified glare some of them has on me. "The event he organized two years ago also went downhill. The amount of complaints about the event is becoming overwhelming. Alpha King, you know how much we respect you but this has to stop." My faces flushed red, hearing these. "I know that. I will talk with my son about this and will make sure that he will make his tasks done. By hook or by crook. " I motioned my secretary to come forward. "Schedule me a meeting woth Knight. Scoot it as soon as possible." He nodded and then bows his head down. "Don't you think, we need someone who has a heart for it?. I think it is time to reconsider applying the second way of choosing the ne
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV."Today is his birthday." I walk back and forth with the sound of the chain on my feet, rubbing against the floor. I kept glancing at the outside of my cell. Thumping my feet in anxious of waiting for them to arrive. The hour felt like moving in snail as I remain doing the same thing for minutes now— walking back and forth, with my hands clasping against each other. I run towards the cell and hold the bar frustratedly while my gaze are on the empty hallway. "LEXUSS!!! HANNNAA! GETTT ME OUT OF HEREE!!!" My voice echoed in the hallways, hopelessly, I swiftly bent my knees and hug myself. Almost 3 years and I am losing hope of ever getting freedom here. I only have one reason for fighting...."Mom." "Babyyy!!!" I stood, with my hands on the bar as the kid I bring into this world 2 years ago greeted me with a wide smile on his face. Hanna let go of his tiny hand and allowed him to run to me. "Uhm.Roi, Baby, wait for mom." She said, signaling my son to wait, ro
