Ezra’s POV

I am waiting for Jenny so I can cook the barbeque already. It’s been a couple of minutes since she left and I do nothing here other than stare at nothingness and listen to the faded music of the party music in the background.

I heard a knock on the door. I thought it was Jenny but it was just another servant wearing the same uniform as her.

The girl looked pale. She’s crossing her arms over her chest as if she’s covering her body from someone. Unconsciously, my eyes roam around her body.

I notice a slight bruise on her arm and a cut on the side of her lips. She was in a hurry when she came in, but pauses when she saw me inside the kitchen.

I stretches out my lips to offer her a smile although I am not sure if it was the gesture that she need.

I fix my stance by standing properly and made a few steps closer to her.

“H-hi. I’m E-Ezra,” I said and offered my hand.

I stretch out my hand with an open palm, asking for a handshake from her. But she only avoided her gaze. I

    Ezra’s POV It’s been minutes since Mica and Master Shiro left the kitchen however, the face of Mica keeps flashing on my mind. The way her eyes blinked uncontrollably at me as if she was asking for help. After the scene earlier, I think I already know why she’s quivering in fear and where the bruises all over her body and the cut on the side of her lips came from. I bite my lower lip and shut my eyes close. How could she ask for my help? Does she think I am someone she can ask for help with? I sigh. To be honest, not to discredit what she’s been experiencing, but I do think her position is better than mine. At least she’s not being asked to carry a child for nine months and vanish. I stared at the whole kitchen. Despite the bitter environment that I’ll face here in this place, I still could not stop myself from being amazed by all the house designs and the place itself. I don’t see such places way back in the village. This place feels like something I’ll see on the screen of the t

He is smirking at me, but his closing our gap makes me uncomfortable.My hand started quivering and the small strands of hair at the back of my neck stands.I could not move anymore due to the sink at my back and I do not want to remove my eyes from him, scared of what he might do.He leaned forward and tilt his head with the same smirk plastered on his face. He then places his hands on my side to jail me in between.He looked at me intently and his eyes dropped on my lips and crawled back to my eyes.“Hmm… I’m right,” he murmured.I feel like something heavy was lifted on my chest when he fixes his stance and withdrew from me.He then inserted his hands into his pocket. “Ryler is lucky to have a slave like you. You are beautiful.”My lips parted at what he said. I look at him with a confused expr

    Ezra’s POV“S-Sir…?” I uttered under my breath.I immediately stand from squatting and walk towards him. His eyes are pierced at me. I cannot see any emotions from him which made me more nervous.I heard he is a skilled werewolf. After all, he won’t be an alpha if he isn’t. I’m scared that he might be hearing my racing heart.“Wazzup, Ryler!” Romeo greeted in a subtle mocking way. He landed his gaze on me before looking back to Ryler. “You got an interesting girl right there. You did not say she’s the daughter of—”“What took you so long?” Ryler asked and cut off his friend. He then darted his cold-gazing eyes at me.“U-Uhh—we grilled many cut meats—”“And why? How many are we who’s going to eat? Why? You want to eat as many as you can?”I gulp. I aggressively shake my head, disagreeing with what he said. I do not even know that I got to eat too. I thought it was only for them.“N-no, m-master…” I replied. I glued my eyes on the floor, staring at my foot and refusing to meet his eyes.

    Ezra’s POVI watch Ryler’s back as I maintain my distance from him. I place my hands on my back and played with my finger. I keep on biting my lower lip so that I did not notice it already bleeds.Ryler stopped, and so did I.He glances over his shoulder to take a side look at me. “Stop biting your lips. I can smell your blood from here,” he coldly said and continued walking.I lick my lower lip and bite my lips inwardly to somehow sealed the smell of the blood from him. I know he has a heightened-skilled compared to other werewolves, but I must say that he is on a different level.When I made sure that our distance is enough, I followed him. However, it only took the both of us a couple of steps when we heard the double doors from behind open.“Ryler!” a high-pitched voice yelled.I turn to face it instinctively. Laura jogs in our direction. She even bump into my shoulder but ignored it and went straight to Ryler.“Why are you leaving too early?” she asked.Her gaze is pierced straig

    Ezra’s POV“Remove your f*cking clothes,” he uttered.His lips are on a straight thin line but the way his chest moves up and down is telling me he was never silent deep down.I gulped. I do not know if he is just saying it out of lustful instinct due to the mate bond, but I do not know whether I’ll obey him or not.I know how strong the mate bond is between mates. I felt it too. I wouldn’t have had the courage to slap Laura earlier if not because of it.And that is why I do not want to obey him. If the effect of the mate bond turned stale, I would only make myself a laughing stock for obeying him that easily.He tilts his head, making my thoughts stop and focus on him. He is too close to me that I feel like I will be having a cross eye as I stare back at him.“Don’t wait for me to tear that dress down,” he said coldly.Right. I am not a mate to him. I am his slave. Unlike other mate partners, they have a choice whether to give in to the effects of their mate bond and let each other t

    Ezra’s POV“You could have told me.”He withdraws himself from me. My jaw drop at what he is doing, My body is still in the middle of a pleasure when it was replaced by frustration.“Ugh!” I softly uttered. I thought he was going to completely stand from the bed.“A-Are you g-going to s-stop?” I asked when I see him standing away from me.Instead of answering him, Ryler fixes his stance.I bite my lower lip. I do not know what I did to suffer this way. I know I am a slave. But can’t I live like other people?I watch Ryler fix himself while waiting for him to shove me away. Just when I thought our story will end there, I sit on the bed.I use my elbows to support my weight and lift from the bed a little. I watch him turn his back on me and walk towards the door—Wait. He’s not walking towards the door.My brows furrowed when I saw him go to the cabinet resting on the side of the bedroom and opened it.My jaw drop when I saw what was inside.“S-Sir?” I asked out of surprise.Inside the c

    25 Ryler’s POV I look at the ceiling peacefully, trying to have a grasp of reality. I just woke up, but I still feel sleepy. Guess I only had a couple of minutes before waking up. I look at the window on the left side of the room. Even the thick black curtain could not hide the currently rising sun from outside. I felt the bed rock due to the small movement made. I roll over and look straight at her face. Ezra fell asleep last night. I planned to call Roman to put her back in her cell, but I realized it's better for her to stay here-- no because I want her to sleep with me, but because I have something to discuss with her right after she wakes up. Also, I am certain that Roman is still at the party, enjoying his girls. We were too busy these past few days that I somehow thank Romeo that he threw a party to help him relax. Her head is resting on my chest while her arms are snaked around my waist. I can feel her heartbeat against my chest as well as her breathing. I stare at he

It made me hear my own heartbeat. I really thought I was calm the whole time. Now I realized that my insides are too loud due to the silence around me. My eyes darted to the room adjacent to the room where I fell asleep. I bite my lower lip when I remember what happened last night. I let out a harsh sigh. Right after he made me suck him, I thought we were going to do it. However, he only played with me. And when I say play, I literally mean 'play'. Ryler used several toys to stimulate me down there. He made me experience things that I never felt before. I thought I would be given a punishment for slapping Laura, but I do not think what he did to me last night was a punishment at all. Hours of doing that but we still did not end up doing 'it'. I was thinking that maybe he was holding back. As far as I remember, he was

The glittery halter top dress shines bright and makes my fair skin dominate.Gia lean towards me and levels her face into mine. We both look at the mirror.“You look like a godess of light!” she commented.I chuckled and slightly shakes my head.“Stop it, Gia!” I softly and playfully hit her arm.She made me stand as we both walk in front of the full-length mirror.“See? You look pretty!” I smiled. I reach for the hem of my dress and lift it a little. I made a small sway to see how the skirt of the dress will move.“I do not know why I have to dress this way. It will be torn anyway.”Gia sighed. “Even so. This is the day that you will transform! This is the day that you will meet your wolf.”“Can I just do this privately?” I asked.I swear, I have no idea how many times I tried everyone around me, including Ryler,

I can sense Ryler's presence on my back, but I did not date look back at him until we reached the balcony just across teh dinning area."What do you want to talk about?" I asked.I do not know why I am acting this way. Indeed, I told him to give me space. But I won't lie. My heart feels warm whenever he visits me and tries to court me. It is true that I do not want to go back to the Midnight Shadow pack. However, the thought of him not pursuing me to go back with him also hurts me.

I continued.I can sense in his tone that he wants to say something."The pack is already looking for an heir. I cannot disclose to them about you and the baby. I do not want to put pressure on you."I gu

Did he call him?Clement noticed the weight of my stare and looked back at me. He then shrugs his shoulders and continues eating.Well, based on how he is acting, I think he is unaware of this.“Midnight Shadow Pack? Isn’t that the pack where you came from?” Briner asked, breaking the silence.I darted my eyes at him. “Yep.” I avoided my gaze at him and went back to eating. “Ohh, alright,” he murmured.He caught my attention. “Alright, what?” I asked.He raises his hand in front. “Nothing. It just comes to mind that he is possibly your ex-mate.”“He is,” my brother answered. “Should we let him in?” he asked my father.My brows furrow. Why is he only asking Father and not me?

Clement doesn’t want to tell me. All he said was his family and ours are close friends. He also emphasized that he is single and an Alpha.“You look exactly like your mother, gorgeous,” Loryna commented. Her hands gently rest on my shoulders as we both look at my reflection in the vanity mirror in front of us.I flashed a small smile. The glam team that my brother hired to doll me up did a great job. My cheekbones are enhanced, they made my eyelashes longer, and the rosy blush cheeks perfectly complimented my fair skin.What I did not like was my hair. They tied my hair in a messy bun. It did look good on me, but I am not comfortable with my hair tied up and exposing my neck. I got too shy to ask them to repeat it, so I just told Loryna to fix my hair right after the team left.“It’s probably the makeup,” I replie

The sun is shining brightly but gladly, it doesn’t hurtfully strike through my skin. Hit by the blinding light of the sun along with the warm breeze of the wind here on my small balcony, it feels refreshing.My head turned on my closed door when I heard three consecutive knocks. “Come in,” I confidently replied.There are only a few people who knock on my door. Whoever it was, I am pretty sure I won’t be awkward to face them with my morning face.I tied tightly my robe around my waist while I watched the door push open from the other side.“Good morning,” Clement greeted.I smiled at him. “Morning,” I replied.“May I come in?”“Sure.”Clement closed the door behind him after he stepped inside. He then walks towards me.“You like the balcony?” he asked.I chuckled. “Yeah. I love watching the sunrise.”“You should have got the r

I just want to talk to your ex-boyfriend," he shrugged.Clement stood on his seat and buttoned his coat. He fixes his necktie as if he is preparing for a formal meeting."Ryler isn't my ex-boyfriend," I clarified and avoided my gaze.In my peripheral vision, I can feel the weight of his mocking stares at me. I look in his direction and bravely lift my chin up, giving him equal intensity as his stares.Clement cockily looks at me with his left eyebrow shot up. "Not your ex? Then what is he? Still your boyfriend?"I pushed my tongue on the inside of my left cheek. The smirk on Clement's lips grew wider.He isn't my boyfriend. He is my mate! We did not even enter that phase. We went straight to the ma

    Celestine’s POVI am caressing my belly while resting here in my newly renovated room. I am amazed at how fast Loryna changed the whole interior and the arrangement of the room. I was out with my brother and father for a couple of hours, and when I got back in here, my plain pearl-white room was now replaced by a beige and a more lively atmosphere.Loryna was not already here when I got back. I roam my eyes around. Aside from the light atmosphere, there are also indoor plants placed on the hanging cabinets on the wall of my room. I smiled. They say greens are good for the eyes. I don’t know if it’s true, but staring at these calm-looking plants, I think they were right. I was enjoying the simple view here in my room when I heard a knock on my door.“Celestine, may I come in?” Clement asked. I smiled. We were just together a while ago but he’s already here again. “Yeah, sure,” I replied. The door was pushed open from the other side. Clement stepped inside while carrying a mug of I

All I have in my mind right now is to know my pack. “U-Uhmm…” To be honest, I do not know what to answer. I may be a Luna in the Midnight Shadow pack, but I am completely new to this pack. I do not know any of their law. “What about the basic rules here in the pack?” I suggested. “That’s good. But I suggest you start with the people inside the house,” Clement said. He reaches for my hand that is resting on the table and caress it with his thumb. “I know you are eager to take back the life that was stolen from you. We want it too. But you do not have to rush, Celestine. You have forever to know us,” he added. I smiled at him. Now I completely understand why I felt this way when I first saw him. I was indeed intimidated because he came from an influential family and pack, but out of all the people in power who I have met, he’s the first one I get comfortable with. “Clement is right
