KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POVI have to force a smile in front of all these people before me. Right now, a meeting is being held inside the palace; journalists, camera medias, officials and kingdom representatives are here to attend the discussion and disseminate the information after. My jaw clenched after seeing numerous number of people around. Our Kingdom is a one big realm for werewolves. We have 7 kingdoms: Starry Pack Curse, One for Wolves, Standing Bulldogs, Dark Forest, Hybrids and Fairylands. Each of the Kingdom has their trademark characteristics. Starry Pack Curse, this is Caroline's kingdom and one of the great contribution of this in our realm is their security. They had walls all over their kingdom and their security system are advance equipments gathered outside the realm by their most skilled Warriors. They are the one who are tasked to be the contributor for the realm's safety. One for Wolves, this is where most of the elders reside, they are responsible for healing an
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV My existence feels like have been swiped off the public. Anyways, nobody really knew me, fee barely know my name and that is because I was never the extroverted child way back then. I plucked a flower on my way to my mini flowering plants. The life here has been awkwardly silent. No title, No much attention and just fee people visiting. I looked at my phone, innocently laying on my bed. "I forgot to tell addi and for sure that she will be real mad." With so much contemplation, I still picked up my phone and reluctantly called her number.I was biting my nails while listening to the calling tone, which means that she can here me call. "Please, don't ignore my call." I said, worrying that Addi is only ignoring my phone calls. I cannot blame her though. My father bought a house that only us and fee maids knew and the place has become my hiding spot from the public. "Hello!"Finally, Addi answered the phone but she sounded like she is firmly pressing her lips tog
ADDI AFOREMAN'S POVI managed to get in touch with Caroline and for the third time since we had a phone call and I obviously expressed my sulking towards her. She gave me simultaneous call.I watch as my phone kept buzzing on the table before picking it up. "Yes gurl? What can I do for you? This is the third time. Give me a break, it's freakin' 7 Am." I gazed at the clock on the wall, rub my eyes then yawn. "I tried giving you a break, remember?. You sulked at me so nah gurl, just bare with me. I just want to tell you something important." I blamkly stare at my phone. "Make sure that whatever that is, would be worth of my early rise." I stood up, walk towards the window and slide my curtain to the side. "I thought the sun would be the one to wake me up but your constant call woke me. Are you trying to replace the sun and my alarm clocks?" I heard her giggling at the other side of the phone. "Did you have a bad wake up?. Okay sorry. Just sleep when you come here, I will even sing a
THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW. Mr. Ester and Addi AForeman headed towards a wall that serves as a portal to wherever Caroline Ester is. A man from behind, not far from where the two have stopped was attentively watching. He saw how the two disappeared after touching the wall and touching the necklace.. He silently approached the spot after the disappearance of the two. "Wall. Where are you headed to?" He asked the wall, curiously. He lean closer to the wall and touched it with his bare hand. "So the man has a portal for his daughter?, what a sweet man he turned out to be." said by him as his finger touches the wall, where little glitters were falling from. He took the phone out of his pocket then dialled a number. "Hello. Yes I have found them, Caroline is inside a magic- restricted place. Sure does, Mr. Ester loves her daughter very much. " He once again touch the wall with one finger and a sneer was planted on his face. "...this is the kind of magic that can only be paid by half
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV"When will you go back to your manor?. You have been staying for 4 days in that isolated place." I roll myself wrapped around my blanket on my bed. I look at my surrounding, breathing the freshest air I could possibly breathe in. The glass is a clear see through, I can see the beautiful garden outside my house. "I am not sure.""Ow. Okii. I miss you here." Addi said with a low tone. "I miss you more!!" I energetically replied. "So when will you come?" "I do not know yet. Actually, I wanted to hide for a while. You know my situations, Addi. I have heard from dad that Lexus has been going back and forth lurking around my house. I don't dare to see him right now. Have I told you about the 3 weeks?""I think you have not. What was that all about?" Addi asked on the other line, I hugged a pillow then spoke. "Actually Lexus asked me to be his mistress, right?. Up until now, he has no idea that I have gotten my scent already and he pursued me to be his mistress jus
HANNA ERICA CAVIAR'S POV"I'm sorry." I waited for seconds for Caroline's reaction. As expected, her expression turned into what I expected. Her smile rotated into sadness. She grabbed my hands and squeezed it. " Please, stop saying sorry for something that you have no control of. It wasn't your fault. Lexus was just a piece of trash. He acts very carelessly and trashy. Don't blame yourself." "I felt obligated to extend an apology since Lexus has become some sort of my husband. It is clear to me that he wanted you more than he wanted me but thay is not your fault..."I scoff. "I doubt that he even have an ounce of likes towards me. I feel like he is only keeping me for the sake of his father's name." "Whatever his reasons are. I do not care right now but.." She stops for a while, gulped then gave me a teary eye. "Aren't you gonna be suffocated in this kind of set up?. Your husband chasing another woman while you two are publicly known as husband and wife?"For a while, I thought
Caroline Ester's POVHis eyes were checking me but he haven't said a word yet after meeting me again. I felt a little at ease knowing that he is not bothering me but at some points, that is very suspicious. Knowing him, he would have swarmed me with questions, the moment he laid his eyes on me. Things did not go according to my plan— the quick visit. I was about to leave earlier but Lexus' father insisted a conversation over some coffee. "It would be disrespectful of me to just see you off without even offering something." He said then bow down again. "Our Luna came here to visit my daughter in law so I should do my utmost effort to welcome you." I wave my hand in cross, to assure him that I am fine leaving without anything. It is such a weird thing for me to see him be this polite when I was used to be the one doing that for him before. "Uncle, I insist that it is okay. Anyways, anytime soon Addi will come and fetch me.""Are you rejecting my offer because I am not on your leve
Addi Aforeman's POV. When I heard about Caroline visiting the place where Lexus lives. I wanted to tell her not to go and to stay wherever she is. I wanted to stop her from meeting that lady, Hanna. That girl has something that she is hiding. However, I cannot just simply tell Caroline not to meet her because I have that feeling. "Hanna needs me." When I heard this line from her, that is the exact point that I realized the hanna girl is already earning my best friend's trust. That is why I need to get a hold of evidences first. I will work on that as soon as I settle this problem on our plate. I took a heavy sigh as I watch Nico almost becoming bed ridden. Nico finally opened his eyes but still we can't have good conversations with him. He would always stare at us with a widen gaze as he clasp his fingers together. "Nico." I called him but there was no response from him. He was deliberately swaying himself like a crazy man. I will not atrempt to say that he is crazu especially
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
