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
KNIGHT ARCHANGEL'S POV"The Luna has been spotted in the Starry Curse Pack. She was with a friend. I think she is back." It was like my body froze upon hearing this news and my body trembles. She is back?The papers I have in my hand drop on the floor and the man who gave me the news instantly picked the papers up and put it stacked on my table. I followed what he was doing with my gaze while remaining in a statue position. After collecting the papers, he stepped back and put his hands on his back. He cleared his throat before speaking. "We have found out from sources that he went to the manor of his ex rumored lover, the son of the Alpha of the pack. The next ruler named Lexus Arendelle."Upon hearing a man's name, my heart throb. I gritted my teeth. "Did she went there for him? What else do you have? How about Caroline? Where is she now?"I bombarded him with questions for I've been waiting for this report. It has been days since I last saw Caroline and the way she always left m
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV. I was clutching my pillow while sitting an indian style on my bed while Addi was walking left to right in the front of my bed. "I knew it. It was not a good idea that you went to that place. He was there and no matter how hard you try to forget about him, every single time he shows you something, it can by part pulls you back. I swear to God and to the Goddesses, if you ever came back to that man, I will disown you." the grit addi has on every word meant all the sincerity she has for what she is saying. ...I took some time off focusing on the words that she's saying.I can clearly hear it but comprehension is not on my side right now. The moment was freezed and was stucked inside of me. Something that I cannot just easily pave off. "Have you heard him? He said that he was forced. He said that he loves me. I was wondering, probably we can still grab some chances" I utter— breathing air of contemplation. I was looking down at the sheet of my bed when I saw on
Knight Alfaro Archangel's POV. "Are you really going to appoint that woman as your Luna?. Think Knight, Think." I stood at the front of my father's desk. "Again?" I scowl, getting fed up with my father's intervining. "Can you just stop?" I drop the pen he gave me earlier to sign some papers. So this is why you summoned me here—to talk about this...Again. He tricked me into thinking there were some paperworks. "There is nothing that you will say that can influence my decision. I have made up my mind and I am going to stick to it. Look, I am doing my freakin' job very well despite not having an ounce of interest on it." My dad has been sticking his nose into my business and it is not something that is surprising because I know that he always does. He raise a paper in the air then he laid back to his seat. "I have asked someone to investigate the kingdom. I happen to have found out a very interesting information" then he pointed at the paper he was holding. "These paper holds pictur
TYLER'S POV"Are you sure that you have her location?I have heard from my father that she was seen at the Kingdom.""Yes, I am sure. The source is very reliable. No doubt about that." He is such a nuisance. I have been telling him countless times that I just found out where Caroline was. Well, I did not find out...someone told me. [ Yesterday....]"Why are you here?" I asked the woman approaching me. Someone that I know. She looks at me in disdain. " I gotta tell you." She said, giving me a straight stare. "I should tell you but...." She was playing with her fingers while telling this. "...she might got angry with me but anyways... i should tell you, right?" She asked and I nod in complete awkwardness and also...clueless. "Whatever it is. I think you should tell me." I said, then walked closer to her. I pulled her hand then hold her chin up to face me. "What is it?" She looked at the other direction. " We need Knight." She said, mentioning Knight and from what I can conclude ini
CAROLINE ESTER'S POV. "What do you mean by that dad?!" I twisted my mouth in anger as I look at the side of my dad where Addi was standing. "How did he knew about me?" I look at them vice versa. "I did it." My eyes turn its gaze to Addi who was raising her hand. I look at her. puzzled and in disbelief. I can feel my veins pulsing in my neck. I gritted my teeth as I let myself fall into the nearest sofa."Y-You what?" My chin is trembling in anger as I watch her lips pursed tightly together. "Look Caroline. I was just trying to help and that is the only thing I can think of. He can help you, I swear." I curled my lip, collecting all the inner Patience I could get because everything is messing with my head. "Help me?. I told you that I needed space, how can this help me?" I gritted my teeth, being at my best in controlling my emotions.My heart feels heavy right now. I do not want to meet Knight at the moment especially after I felt touch by the last interaction I had with Lexus an
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
