Ezra's POVI gasp when I hear three continuous whip test in the air.I can hear his footsteps and felt the bed rock a little when he hop on it. I do not know his position and I cannot see his face even I try to peak because my moves are being restricted due to my position.“A*s up,” he ordered.I did what he said. I tried to lift up my bottom cheeks by pressing my knees together and kneeling properly.I thought he will be doing another whip test, but his next whip went straight into my bottom cheeks.I gasp. I bite my lips inwardly to stop myself form yelping. He made another whip which make a soft moan escape from my lips.I slightly move my hips sideways to somehow avoid his whips however, due to my restraints, it makes no difference.“Count with me,” he ordered.He gave me a whip on the back.“One...” I uttered. He hit me again, but this time, it is harder than earlier. “Two…” and another one, “three…” another one, “four”, and another one, “Five.”Tears started to sting my eyes. Si
Ezra's POV I move my hand in a circular motion while caressing it. There are red marks on my wrists area and I won’t be surprised if I’ll see marks on my neck either. Also, I think I have several red cuts on my back due to the whip. “Go back to your room now,” Ryler said after removing my restraints. I carefully sit on the edge of the bed, letting my feet touch the floor. Ryler, on the other hand, put back the whips and the belt that he used on me in the closet. I take a couple of seconds before standing up. I thought it would be painful but—“Ahh!’ I yelped. I tried to take a step, but I felt a pang of pain between my legs. I look down and bite my lower lip. I am planning to pick up my clothes on the floor to get change. I paused to weigh my physical state. I thought I’m good not until I made a step. I caught Ryler’s attention. He looked at me. His eyes dropped on my whole body and back to my face. Without removing his eyes from me, he closed the closet. He inserted his hands
Ezra’s POV“Is this her? The murderer’s daughter?” one of them asked.Stunned, I was not able to move in my place. All eyes are on me. They all look intimidating aside from the guy nearest to me. He is smirking ear to ear with a playful look on his face.The guy stand on his seat and walk towards me. He then lends a hand in front of me.“Hi. My name is Gleck. You must be the slave,” he said.I drop my eyes at his hands. I am not allowed to touch him.“It’s okay, I give you my permission,” he added. He must read what’s on my mind or maybe it’s pretty obvious in my expression.With shaking hands, I accepted his hand.His smile went wide as he gently squeeze my hand.“Alright. Mind if you join us?”I lift my head and dart my eyes at him. I know he’s just being kind and considerate, but I am being uncomfortable anymore.I smile awkwardly and politely withdraw my hands.“I-It’s okay, sir. I’m good,” I replied.“It’s not okay to say ‘no’ to your masters, right?” he answered quickly. I bite
Ezra’s POV“Oh come on, man. Don’t be selfish. I bet you did not even know she still hasn’t met her wolf,” Gleck said.“It doesn’t matter. She’s my mate so I will be the one to teach her the things she needs to know,” Ryler replied.As usual, I cannot see any emotions on his face.“Come on, couz. We don’t always visit here. We’re also busy leading our pack. Why don’t you let your slave entertain us?” Sir Brian butted in.“Since when did you become interested in this, Brian?” Roman asked.“Probably got bored with his wife,” Romeo replied and smirked.“Why would I? She’s a good girl. Never gonna get bored with submissive girls,” he replied and chuckled.“Of course, she’s a good girl. After you constantly use her as a punching bag, it would be shocking if she’s still not submissive to you.”I lift my head and look in sir Brian’s direction. Is it true? Does he hit his wife?“Brian, are you still going to therapy?” Coach asked.They were all done eating and just simply making small talk. I
Ezra’s POV“This is necessary… slave,” he smirked.Cold shivers crawled down my spine. I often see his smirk, but this is the first time I saw him smirk without humor. He made another step forward, leaving little to no space between us.My eyes leveled on his chest. I felt his warm breath on my face when he looks down at me.“Do you really think we can be good friends, huh?” he uttered.He leans his right hand on the wall behind me and on the side of my head while his other hand went on the side of my arm, caressing it up and down.“N-No, s-sir…” I slightly shove his hand away, but due to our gap, I could not move properly.“You have a really soft skin…” he whispered while continuing to caress my arm. He then places his foot in between my feet and rubs his kneecaps on my legs.“How long are we going to wait?”I almost drop down on the floor when Sir Gleck withdraws his body from me to face Sir Brian.“Calm down there, Brian. I am still enjoying this,” he replied.“Make it quick. I am
Ezra’s POVMy hands are shaking. Sir Conrad has already given me an explanation, yet, I still do not feel comfortable.Well, being comfortable being naked in front of three men isn’t easy. Who would want their body to be exposed to someone they considered strangers? It hasn’t been a day since I met them.“You might not be considered as a Luna, but your mate is an Alpha. And the fact that he chose you to bear his son means you have an obligation to carry whether you like it or not,” Sir Brian said.I nod my head even though my mind wanted to explode and leave me lifeless on the floor.“In order to do that, you need to meet your wolf first,” Sir Conrad added.I think they are trying to make me calm. They probably notice me shaking.Who wouldn’t? My body is fully exposed to them. With their keen observation, they’ll probably notice my tiny moves.I felt a hand caressing my left thigh. The same hand slightly slaps my inner thighs. “Open your legs.” Based on the voice, it was Sir Conrad.I
Ezra’s POV“Ready?”I gulp. Do I have a choice?“Y-Yes, sir…” I answered.“Press your chest on the floor,” he ordered.I did what he said. It’s a little uncomfortable, but it’s tolerable.“Nice a*s,” Sir Gleck commented.I bite my lower lip and lowered my head. I glued my eyes to the floor and tried to distract myself.This is the lowest of the lows that I experienced. However, just like I said earlier, I want to meet my wolf as soon as possible.“Ahh!” I cried.My eyes instinctively shut close when I felt a pang of pain in my lower back.“Oh come on. Stop teasing me. You can do harder than that, Brian,” Gleck said after his brother whip me.I heard a test whip in the air, making me flinch.“Do it harder this time…” I heard Gleck said.“Why do I feel like you are enjoying this more than me?” Sir Brian replied.I heard waves of laughter from both of them. I stretches my cuffed arms, trying to shield my bottom cheeks from the harsh whip but Sir Brian easily held my tied wrists and place
Ezra’s POV“Ready?” he asked with a grin on his face.I shake my head and my heart started beating at a faster pace than usual. I am not sure if I ever will, but does it matter? They won’t accept a ‘no’ from me anyway.Not that I want to say ‘no’. Of course, I also want to meet my wolf.I am in the middle of my thoughts when suddenly, two drops of melted wax went straight to both of my mounds.Unlike earlier where I only need to try to comfort myself from a single drop, this time, I need to endure two. And the fact that the hot wax is dropping straight to my nip*les makes it harder for me to not be in pain.“We will fill you out until your chest is fully covered with white-melted wax. How does it sound?” Sir Brian rhetorically asked.I bite my lower lip. I do not know where to focus anymore. To the pain of the melted candles or to the s*x toys continuously torturing me down there.I opened my eyes and dart my sight to the both of them. The two of them are standing on my sides. Sir Bri
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,
Celestine's POVMy heart is pounding hard yet slow. I tried to maintain a straight face so no one would notice the chaos inside of me.I lift my chin and look straight ahead. 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
Celestine’s POV“I will court you, Celestine. I will show you that I am worth the risk… again.”I take a deep breath while staring at the sky blue peaceful sky. 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
Celestine's POV"Let him in..." my brother ordered.'Oh, dear God. What is he even doing here?!look at my brother. 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
Ryler's POV"Ryler? Ryler!"I just got out of my car and now, Laura's high-pitched voice welcomed me.My chest is rising up and down out of frustration. 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
