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

    Ezra’s POVI slowly went out of his room and shut the door behind me. I take a deep sigh and rest my back on the currently closed door.The hallways are all silent. 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

    Ezra’s POV “Why don’t you have a scar?!” she hissed. Her grip around my arm tightened. I winced and tiptoed, trying to gently pull my arm from her, however, she doesn’t want to let go. “M-Ma’am…” I uttered. To be honest, I can easily pull my arm back, but I am certain that if I do it, she’ll get tripped to her feet. I bite my lips inwardly to stop myself from making a scene. I know Laura is already mad at me and I do not want to add something that would make her furious. My life here in the hands of my mate is already hard. I cannot afford another obstacle that I need to deal with. “Answer me!” she yelped. My lips twitch, not knowing how to answer her. I do not even know why she is expecting marks on my—Hold on. Does she thinks I was whipped by Ryler? My brows furrowed while thinking of that possibility. She aggressively let go of my arm and look at me with her narrowed-looking eyes. “What did he do to you?” she once again asked. This time, I pressed my lips together, refus

    aEzra’s POVA tall woman is standing in front of us. I looked at her, trying to remember if I’d seen her face before already.It’s obvious that she’s already at age due to the wrinkles under her eyes and temples. However, the way she stands, walk, and move is full of grace that you wouldn’t think she’s aging at all.With her straight back, shoulders broad, and head held up high, I can say that she’s the kind of woman that is well-respected. Her hands are clasped together as she walks towards us.Laura and the servant bowed their heads at her, so I followed them.When I lift my upper body and accidentally locked our eyes, I hitched. Her gaze looks casual and calm but at some point, I feel like I do not have the right to look at her. She's very intimidating even though she's not doing nor do I hear her say a word. I blink my eyes uncontrollably and bite my lips inwardly. I did not notice that I am already staring a little too long at her. "What is happening here?" she asked. Her eyes

    Ezra’s POV“Who was that?” I asked.The servant who is with me looked at me with a shocked expression.“How come you did not know her?” she asked with disbelief.I bite my lower lip, contemplating whether I’ll speak my mind or not.“Uhm, I just got here hours ago,” I said.She arches her brow. Her face went at ease as if she already understand what I am saying.“Oh, is that so?” she rhetorically asks.I nod my head.She completely faces me and sighs.“She’s the one who stands as Alpha Ryler’s parents. Coach is the sister of Alpha Ryler’s father. We all call her coach because she is the one who taught Alpha Ryler all the things he need to know before being an Alpha.”“Oh, so she’s a lietaral coach, huh,” I commented.“Yep. She was the one managing everything before. She is like the president of our pack,” she added.“Like a Luna?” I asked.“More than a Luna. Everyone was scared of her.”“Even Alpha Ryler?” I asked curiously.Since she said that everyone is scared of Coach, I wonder if

    Ryler’s POV “Did you tell them to make this quick? Inform them that I still have more important things to discuss other than my mate and having a son,” I said. I know the meeting will circulate on that topic. I’m already tired of hearing the same lines of sermon from them throughout the years since I became the Alpha. “I did. Are you going to open up the topic about the rogues?” Roman asked. I nod. “Let’s go,” I said and exit the door. Roman followed me from behind. “I thought the other pack is already dealing with it?” he once again asked. “I know. But I want to put my hands on that case. You know Edgar and his son is part of that rogue group,” I replied. We are on our way down the stairs when I notice Ezra along with the servant that I called earlier. They are carrying almost nothing other than a ragged bag on Ezra’s shoulder and some of the bathroom products in a small basket held by the servant. They were midway when they noticed us. They immediately step aside and lowered

    Ryler’s POV“Let’s start,” I said.I rest my back comfortably on my swivel chair and let it rock a little. I was not the one who initiated this meeting, but since they call for it, then I’ll use this as an opportunity to raise my idea.Roman went to the vacant seat beside Shir and sat there.“Where’s your brother?” Renieval asked.“House. He is wasted from the party last night. He’s probably sleeping right now,” Roman replied.Renieval sigh and shakes his head. “He definitely has his father’s behavior,” she replied. “Call him. Tell him to attend the meeting. We will wait for him.”“He won’t go. You know him, Mom. Besides, he won’t do anything here nor raise suggestions. It’s better for him to stay inside his room.”Renieval hiss. “That is why your brother grew up incompetent. You keep on babysitting him!”“Mom, this is a pack meeting. Not a family meeting,” Roman reminded.“Packs are family!” his mother immediately replied. “I should have been strict to him as I am to you. I thought w

    Celestine’s POV“OMG. You’re so gorg, princess!” Gia exclaimed. I shyly smiled at her. I am still not used of getting compliments. I look at my reflection in the mirror. 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 know you do not want to rush things, Celestine." He inserted his hand into his pocket and look straight into my eyes."But...?" 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

    Celestine’s POVA short silence enveloped the table. I can sense my father’s eyes on me, probably wondering if I know any of this.On the other hand, I look at my brother, thinking the same thing. 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 directed his head at me after noticing my heavy gaze.“Do you want him here?” he innocently asked.Thought you

    Celestine’s POVLoryna is helping me get ready for dinner later. We are here in my room as she currently curling the tips of my hair.I do not know who we are going to meet. 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

The smirk on his face indicates that this won't go well."What are you planning, Clement?" I asked.He glances at me while I throw a dagger-looking gaze at him."Nothing much. 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

I unbutton my coat and pull my tie to loosen it around my neck.Laura closes our gap by jogging towards me. I faced her, slightly irritated. "What?" I asked coldly.In my peripheral vision, I saw Roman getting out of the car. Laura glances at him before pouting at me."S-So.. is it true? Is that girl really a Princess?" she asked."Yes," I answered.1 did not wait for her to process what I said and started walking back inside the house. I sensed Roman following me from behind. It took Laura a couple of seconds before I heard her footsteps chasing us.She grabbed my arm and blocked my way, making me stop.I look at her with nothing in my eyes. I am in no mood to deal with her. This day made me exhausted and all I want is to enter my room."Get out of my way," I coldly said.Instead of listening to me, Laura clutched her hands on the si

    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

    Celestine’s POV “Where do you want to start?” My father asked. We just finished eating our meal. 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
