Ezra's POV

"We should alert Alpha Ryler, Luna!" Gia said ina whispering tone.

We are still here outside Jessa's room. I couldn't move. I do not know how I'll process what I heard from that little girl.

Gia reach for my hands and caress them. 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. She doesn't want to get disturbed while she's playing so, whenever she's with a friend, she tends to lock the door and never let anyone ente

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.

    Ezra's POV"Stop overthinking," Gia said.We are already here in our house, but Laura's words still stuck on my mind. 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

I was not born weak.I rest my palms on the edge of the sink after switching the faucet on. I scoop a refreshing water from the faucet and flashed it on my face. I let the cold water give me a refreshing start.As I stare at my reflection on the small mirror glued on the wall just above the sink, I notice my fair and pale skin.I bite my lower lip. I've been working so hard lately. Sometimes, I wonder if this is what I really want to do, or l am just doing this to impress others."Of course, I love the kids," I whispered to myself, battling the argument inside my brain.But since I was proclaimed as the Luna of this pack, I think nothing other than other people.I understand that it was something us as the leader of the pack should prioritize. But it is hard to function everyday especially if you have problems on your own that remained unsolved.As I

Now I know who's the owner of that familiar car parked in front of the Alpha's house.Clement walk towards me while my eyes bore at him, watching him getting nearer. He casually inserts his hands into his pockets and stopped right in front of me.He tilts his head as he stares intensely at me. I notice how his gaze travel throughout my body and landed back to my face.*W-What brought you here?" I threw a question to somehow lessen the awkwardness between us (although I feel like I was the only one who feels awkward)."Are you crying?" he asked.I gulped and avoided my gaze at him. I was sure that I already wiped up the tears from my eyes before leaving the dungeons, but I guess he still noticed it."I'm not..." I said.clement chuckled. "You know, it's obvious that you do not know how to lie," he responded.I sigh. I bite my lower lip. I do not know how to respond to what he said. Is it that obvious that I cried?"May I know what

I asked after contemplating how to keep the conversation going.Clement looked at me and chuckled. "Are you spacing out? If I am not mistaken, I already answered that question."He did?I confusingly look at him, thinking whether he is saying the truth.His chuckle turned into laughter after seeing my confused expression."I told you, I am here to meet your mate. We need to discuss something. Your hotel is full that's why I parked the car here in front of your house," he explained."Oh, right..." I uttered to myself after I realize he did explain it to me earlier. I cleared my throat before continuing. "Are you going to talk about how to capture my father?" I asked, trying to aound casual.He looked at me as if he is weighing the weight of my stares and being careful to his words."Yes," Clemen

After that conversation, he did not sleep here in my room nor invited me to stay with him.Another three consecutive knocks were heard in my door room. The knock has been going on for (if I am not mistaken) 3 hours now.Someone knocked on my door as early as six in the morning. I do not have the energy to get up so I let it be.

I gagged in front of the toilet bowl. I let out all the food that I ate last night.I already lost count of how many times I vomit today. The first thing I did this morning is rush in the bathroom and puke.I am not feeling well since yesterday. Well, actually, since last week.It’s been exactly seven days since Ryler and I talked.

It started when she saw me lying on the side of my bed. I told her that I was just tired and did not notice that

    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

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.

    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
