Ezra's POV

Ryler always uplift me to not make me feel sad. But sometimes, whenever someone ask how I am doing and if I have progress, I feel guilty and at the same time, embarrassed.

I know I am trying my best. But maybe my best is not enough.

Tears started to form in the lower lids of my eyes.

Even though Mrs. Renieval, and other members of the pack isn't telling me directly what they want, deep down, I know they want to ask what's my condition and if I already met my wolf.

The pressure of being watched by everyone around you is so stressful, but whenever I think of what kind of life I have before and how others treat me, I always find myself being thankful.

I am slowly building a good relationship with Mrs. Renieval. I am not being treated as sh*t like before. Also, the bullies I had before were replaced by being highly respected by everyone.

    Ezra's POVI quickly get out of Ryler's room before he can pull me back to bed.I went to my room and closed the door to change my clothes. Since I will be teaching kids to cook, I prefer a dress that is easy to wash when they get dirty.I chose a green floral dress. "I think this is good," I said to myself while looking at my reflection in the mirror.I step out of the room and went down stairs. I am already in the ground floor when I heard a whistle from upstairs. When I look up, I saw Ryler, leaning towards the stair barrier with his arms crossed while smirking down at me.I furrow my brows and shrug my shoulders."What are you doing?" I asked.Ryler shakes his head and chuckle. "I just want to see you go." He's on the second floor of the house, but he did not need to yell anymore becuase his voice echoed on the place.I rolled my eyes at him and turn on my back to go find Gia."You look great on the dress," I heard him say before I turn on the left aisle.I bite my cheeks inwardl

I tried si hard to hide the pain that I felt when I saw the little girl attenpting to hide her tears by blinking them away.Who taught these kids to be this mean? I should have considered making an activity about values instead of cooking! "Hi, kids!" I greeted.The three turn their heads in my direction. The boy and the other girl's face lit up when they saw me standing in front of them."Luna!" they both said in excitement."Good day, Luna," the other girl said in a soft voice. Her eyes are avoiding me. I perfectly know the reason why. Since she's looking the other way, I notice her eyes glittering in tears that she's keeping at bay. I lean forward and slighy bend over to level ny face to theirs. I take a look at their name tags."So, you're Ana..." I said to the soft girl. She lifts her head and nod at me.I turn my head to the other two. "You're Renz... and you are Bella," I said to the other two."Nice meeting y

She has a visible in her arm, but she's all good now. I feel guilty and worried at the same time. It is the first activity that I conducted and incident already happened. I do not know if the parents will still let their children join with us.The kids are the main subjects and priority of this activity, without them, there's no reason for us to continue.My mind is still floating somewhere else that I haven't heard the knock from the door. I just notice it when the door opened and Ryler is already walking towards me.I jolt up in bed and lean my back on the headrest of the bed to welcome him."Hey..." he welcomed.

    Ezra's POVI stare at Gia. Her words still couldn't sink in my mind."Come again?" I asked in disbelief.Gia sigh. "I t-think the accident was not an accident. I think it was a stunt to sabotage the activity," she explained even though it is not necessary.I shake my head, not wanting to accept what I heard. "It's impossible. We clearly saw the burn in that kid's arm. There's no way that it was intentional."Plus, if it was true that it is indeed a sabotage, how could a kid can do that? How could she burn herself intentionally?I felt Ryler's presence behind me. He place his left hand on the wall while his other hand rested around my waist.I saw how Gia's eyes widens when she saw Ryler appeared in my room. She immediately bow her head and awkwardly smiled at me. I can already hear her 'OMG, Alpha Ryler is in your room?!' I let out an exhausting sigh. To be honest, I do not know what to do. What I heard was shocking. Also, we are not sure if it was true."Where did you hear this agai

Gia murmured.We are atill inside the vehicle, staring at the two women talking to each other.The way Jessa's mom widely smile while talking to Laura who looks completely expressionless.I cross my arms over my chest and rest my back comfortably on the seat. "We should not conclude. There's nothing wrong about them talking," I said.Plus, as far as I remember, Jessa's mom mentioned to me that Laura was the one who sent. first-aiders to Jessa. Maybe that is the reason why they are talking.I sigh. I should not be bothered by this situation. Laura and I are the ones who have an issue. I should not automatically think that if someone is talking to her, it means that they do not like me.I just hope what Gia heard from the servants is just a rumor."Let's go," I said.I opened the car door on my side. Before I stepped out, I turn to Roman who is waiting for my order."Just stay here, Roman."Roman looked at me casually just like he always does. B

When my eyes dropped on our hands, I realized they were shaking."Luna--""I prepared some sandwich--"Gia was interrupted when Jessica appeared with a tray of snacks in her hands. She looked at us, confused, however, flashed a smile at us and slightly tilt her head."Jessa is inside with her friend. Why don'y you check on her?" she asked when she noticed we stayed outside. Jessica crane her neck, peeking on the closed door behind us. "Did you knock? She didn't open the door?" she guesses. I remained silent, watching her lips move as she talk to me. Her shoulders slump and chuckle a little. "Sorry about that.

Before we let the law of the human interfere, our council, who is responsible of dealing with legality already handles it.Jessa is looking at her mom with tears rolling down her cheeks when she realizes that her mother harmed her.

I darted my gaze at her to answer her."I'm not," I said.Gia rolled her eyes at me and cross her arms iver her chest. "It's obvious that you are," she replied.I sigh. Who wouldn't?Well, it's true that her words bothered me. I close my eyes and take a deep breath to calm mysef, however, my conversation with Laura earlier flashed in my mind."No one's dragging you down... because you are already on the bottom."I do not even know why I said that. Maybe I just got frustrated on the fact that Jessica did not mention her name during the trial and let herself take the blame. Although it was indeed her fault for making her daughter hurt herself, but if she's really sorry for her daughter, she should have told everyone everything."That would be unfair to someone who couldn't shift yet," Laura said and laughed.My brows furrowed. So what is she trying to say?When Laura's l

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 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

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
