Ezra's POV

“Clement…” called his father.

Clement ignored his father and went straight inside without removing his eyes to Ryler. He stopped right in front of us. Ryler instinctively grabbed my wrist and positioned me behind him.

“Clement, take a seat,” his father added.

Mr. Cresento stands in his way to stop him from getting any nearer. On the other hand, Roman shifted in his place, staying attentive in case something went wrong.

“We’re not here for this,” his father said in a warning tone.

My brows furrow at the scene. I do not understand what was going on with Sir Clement. The last time I saw him, he was not this aggressive.

Clement’s chest is rising up and down as if he is having a hard time controlling his breath due to his emotions. The wrinkle on his eyes folded as his eyes twitched.

Clement and his father stare at each other as if they are talking with their minds. I do not understand why he’s acting this way.

My eyes roam for a second and I notice that I am the only on

    Ezra's POV “What did you just say?” I gulped. Ryler’s tone is calm, yet his voice is low and dangerous. I already know this behavior. This is the kind of behavior that no one wants to see. I straightened my back and faced Ryler. He is only sitting beside me so it is easy for me to calm him down. He did acknowledge me as his mate, but I am still not sure if I have the power over him. His eyes are all on Clement. I reach for his hand resting on the table and gently squeeze it. I am not certain if it will work, but I hope it will. I do not want to be the reason why this meeting will end up in chaos. The stern look on Ryler’s face was replaced by a calmer expression. His furrowed brows went at ease, the thin horizontal lines on his forehead were now gone, and his twitching eyes were now calm. When he darted his face at me, his expression turned softer. “Son, stop it,” I heard Mr. Cresento whisper to his son. “All I am saying is everyone matters. Even her—she was once a slave, n

    54Ezra’s POV“Who are we going to meet today?”I am not sure if he already mentioned it earlier and I am just not paying attention.“The moonlight pack,” he replied.He comfortably sits back in his seat. My fingers started fidgeting. I bite my lower lip before completely facing him.“Is it necessary to introduce me to them?” I ask hesitantly.“No. But I want to.”I tilt my head, asking for an explanation. He eyed me and sighed.“I would eventually introduce you as my Luna to everyone. Might as well start now.”I nod my head slowly as I digest his words.So, it’s official. He wants me to be his Luna and he is already introducing me to other packs.“Why did you ask?”I shake my head and flash a smile at him. “I’m just not used to being acknowledged.”Ryler cups my chin with his thumb and index finger. He then lifts it to level our gazes.“I may not know what you’ve been through, but as far as I can, I will make sure it won’t happen again,” he answered.I never talked about my past life

    Ryler’s POV“Oh, come on. Don’t be ridiculous. How could she be? She’s the daughter of that Killer, Edgar.”I felt Ezra frozen beside me. On the other hand, I stayed calm in my seat.I already expected this when Renieval came in. Roman already warned me that his mother was contacting the moonlight pack. I never trusted her when she said she was going to ask them for help.“Is it true, Ryler?” Mr. Arkez said.The traces of laughter that is usually plastered on his face is now gone. All I see is an Alpha being overprotected by his pack.I won’t blame him. Edgar planned something horrible for them. But that’s the thing. It was Edgar who was our enemy. Not his daughter.“I am not sure what truth are you asking, Mr. Arkez, but I will be clear…” I looked at everyone at the table, including Coach who tilted her head and waited for my response. “Ezra is my mate. And she will be the future Luna of this pack. I hope you will give her the same respect Luna deserves.”Mr. Arkez gasped. “This is r

    Ryler’s POV“She’s inside, sir.”“Don’t…” I stopped the servant from swiping the key card on the closed hotel room in front of us. “Let me handle it,” I added and lend my open palm at her.She respectfully bow at me before handing me the key card. I wait for her to leave before I press the doorbell.I heard the sound of the doorbell echoing inside her hotel room. After a few seconds of waiting, no one opened the door.I sighed. It’s impossible that she did not hear it. I know what she is doing.“Jeira, it’s me, Ryler,” I said casually.She has a high sense of hearing. I know she’s already aware I’m here.I heard footsteps approaching from the inside. I cocky my head as I wait for her to open her door. I heard the locks clanging against each other before the door finally opened.“I thought you forgot that we are going to talk,” she said.“May I come in?” I asked. Her hand is still holding the doorknob and the opening on the doorway is only enough for her body to be seen.She did not an

    Ezra’s POV I keep on walking back and forth here in my room. After Ryler told me to leave, Roman followed me and drove me back here intohe house. I asked if Ryler would be following us. He did not answer and only gave me a small smile. I did not like it. I think he’s playing safe. Also, I still haven’t forgotten that Ryler will be meeting that girl in one of their hotel rooms! The thought of them standing in front of each other and talking about whatever they had in the past makes my blood boil. I stop marching and stare intently at the closed door of my room. ‘3…2…1’ I let out an exhausting sigh. Okay, that’s it! I’m going. I harshly pulled open my door and rushed outside. I saw some servants eyeing me, but I ignored them. Before, most of them gave me side eyes, but now, the worst I received is a hiss. There are servants earlier in the meeting so, I guess the news is already spreading. When I got outside the house, I saw the car we used earlier. I can hear the engine from this

    Ezra’s POV I do not know how to react. We are still on our way back home but my feet isarelready itching to march back into our room. How could he do this? After he confidently tells the moonlight pack and the others that I am his mate and his future Luna, he will ask someone to marry him instead. I don’t know if I got angry this bad before, but the rage I am feeling right now couldn’t be described by words. “We’re here,” Roman announced. I nodded at him and uttered a soft ‘thank you.’ I’m mad but it doesn’t mean I have the right to be rude. Also, I still haven’t forgotten that in the eyes of others, I am still a slave. I do not know how Roman sees me but he was never rude to me since then. He might be strict and formal most of the time, but he was not unreasonable. I step out of the car and shut the door calmly. I thought I could stay calm until I reached my room, but after a few steps, I found myself marching and stomping my feet against the clean marbled tiles of the house. I

I was nervous but weirdly, I felt calm being hugged by him.“You’re nervous,” he said, stating the obvious.I tried to pull away from his embrace but he did not let me. Instead, he hugged me tighter. I felt his hand on my waist crawling down and cupping the back of my knees. I yelped when he lifted me from the ground and was about to carry me like a sack of rice when I stopped him.“Don’t carry me like that. I don’t like it,” I said.“All right,” he uttered.I thought he was going to put me down and let me walk back into the room. However, he just changed my position and carried me in a bridal style. I felt like I was a doll because he carried me so easily.I instinctively hook my hands on my nape. My eyes dropped on his slightly parted lips. I was tempted to lean forward and let our lips collide, but I stopped myself.I notice the sides of his lips slightly stretching upwards. But no matter how hard he tried, I co

Instinctively, I place my hand in front of my face to cover it from the harmful light.“Sorry, I wasn’t able to close your curtains last night. I fell asleep cuddling you,” Ryler whispered.His hand tightens around my waist and pulls me closer to him. I am facing the left side of my room while he is facing my back. He spooned me from behind and buried his face in the crook of my neck.With still closed eyes, I chuckled.“It’s fine. I also fell asleep last night,” I said.“You were sleeping tight. Did I make you tired?” Ryler’s warm breath is brushing against my nape. He then planted a soft kiss on the back of my neck.The scene of what we did last night played in my head. After talking here in my room, he ordered a servant to get us food for dinner. I was pretty exhausted last night from all the drama that I caused so, I was planning to sleep rig

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

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

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.

    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
