Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 18 - When Alphas Meet
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVPiles of wood were blocking my vision from seeing my dearest friend. My heart was throbbing, though it wasn’t due to amusement. "I’m scared," I uttered to myself as I crouched on the ground. Both of my hands were holding tight to my hair as I pulled it as hard as I could with my tiny fingers. "Where are you, Snow?" I asked in between my sobs. I had to close my eyes to sincerely hope for a miracle that he would show me out of the blue."Tina? I told you not to wander off on your own," Snow uttered as he grasped my wrists to gently remove my grip on my hair."S-Snow…" My tears burst out when I saw his concerned face, then I stepped forward to embrace him. I didn’t care if his shirt would get soaked with my overflowing tears.The only one that matters to me as of this moment is Snow. I’d never want to be separated from him until we grow older. ***"Celestina!" Ice shouted, and before he could have landed a blow on me, I immediately stepped sideways to avoid his
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 19 - Her Persistence
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVAll has been set in place. By now, I seriously have no other reason why I would still bother going back to the Crimson Moon Pack. Especially now that Ice has witnessed how I have been neglected by the alpha himself."What do you plan to do now? Lucas would definitely come to me in search of your whereabouts, then give you a justifiable punishment," Ice inquired as we were slowly approaching the pack house, as if there hadn't been an argument between us just a few minutes ago."It’s not like I have committed such a dreadful sin." I glared at him. "Aren’t you going to explain exactly what happened between you and the rest of the pack? It seems like I’m the only one who’s being left behind, completely clueless. Even Lucas knows something about you that no one else does," I said at the same time that I halted my movements, then crossed both of my arms below my chest.Ice neither stopped nor paused to glance in my direction. "Let’s go in, Celestina. Any conversatio
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 20 - A Slave
CELESTINA VILLARAMA’S POVSoon after Ice had recovered thanks to Ace, we returned to the main topic of our conversation as Ace was redirected over to his own turf. "Can I give her the simplest punishment that’s available?" Ice questioned, his tone full of curiosity but also a hint of compassion.Lucas shrugged his shoulders to imply that he didn’t care. "I believe that I don’t have to say the same thing twice, Ice," he said with a bored expression.Ice gave me a short peek before he sighed. "Then…" His eyes were glistening, which made me feel like he was trying to converse with me through his mind. However, the mind link was completely impossible for the two of us. "Celestina Villarama, I hereby appoint you as one of my slaves until the contract is revoked as part of the punishment that Alpha Lucas aspires to," he declared while his right hand was raised.I thought that it would be as feasible as that and that it was already over with a short message from Ice, but that wasn’t the end.
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 21 - The Interrogation
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVWith my fist that was formed like a ball, I breathed heavily as I finally opened the door that led me back to the alpha’s office. "Ice told me that you wanted to have a private talk with me." Just like what Ice said, the atmosphere around the whole room was completely different from usual.Lucas couldn’t have possibly placed wolfsbane in here, as it would also put his life in danger. "Take a seat. This is going to be a long story." Lucas finally broke the silence between us after quite a while.Even if I was confused about what story he was referring to, I obediently followed his order. He evaded my gaze, and no matter how many times I tried to establish eye contact, he just wouldn’t budge."Stop, Celestina Villarama," he coldly said before he sat on his swivel chair, opposite from where I was. "For starters, hold your necklace and call out for the moon goddess."I did as I was told, involuntarily. My hands moved on their own until I was holding the necklace t
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 22 - The Fountain of Life
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVDespite the warm temperature all throughout the office, I couldn’t refrain myself from getting the chills down my spine as Lucas turned into a ferocious beast, which I never hoped to see, not even once. I unconsciously held onto my necklace as I continuously called for Sarina to come and save me if ever the worst-case scenario occurred."Exactly what are you planning to achieve in this realm, Alpha Lucas?" I asked that almost out of a whisper. I was trying my best not to trigger his anger much more than I had already done."Total destruction," Lucas replied with little to no hesitation.I gulped when I realized that Lucas and Ice had the same goal right from the start. I just can’t seem to understand why they were so eager to destroy the world in which they lived. "Once you’ve fulfilled your goal… What will become of you then? Will you kill yourself after you’ve ruined several innocent creatures’ lives?" I stepped backwards every second that passed by.I kept
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 23 - Real Identity
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI was literally taken aback when I saw the same glowing person that was supposed to only exist inside my head. It was utterly impossible for that guy to exist, so how am I even going to explain and believe what I’m seeing right now?After several attempts at rubbing my eye to assure myself that I wasn’t hallucinating, I asked, "Are you for real?"Ice gazed upon me. "It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. I knew from the beginning that we would still be able to encounter one another, but I wasn’t expecting that you would see me in this form. I was kind of anticipating for the day to come wherein you would be able to recognize me the instant that you see me from somewhere," Ice said without batting an eye on how I reacted to his change."Focus is all you need, Celestina. Once you’ve mustered up all your attention to your one and only wolf, I’m sure that the deities out there would lend you a hand and bring her out of your body. There’s no one in thi
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 24 - First Encounter
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI almost lost my balance as I felt myself slowly drifting away from this realm. I don't know if I should be glad that, finally, I'll be able to return to the original world where I was born... or should I be anxious that I'll end up leaving everyone that I've met in the Realm of Xenon so far?"Hey, Celestina, come back to your senses! You're here with me in this realm now; you can't just be selfish again and disappear without a word," said a man who had a familiar way of speaking. His accent was definitely one of his assets. "You can't leave me here all by myself!" The man yelled at me, and when his voice finally reached my conscience, I realized that I was still together with Frost in the same dungeon."F-Frost..." I softly called for him. It was a little bit late for me to remove my grip on his collar when he was the one who made sure that I wouldn't let go of him at all. Those kinds of gestures really indicate just how terrified Frost was of the possibilit
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 25 - Back To You
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI heaved out a loud sigh to show how frustrated I was, with the thought that getting to be Siege's mate might be the one and only answer for Celeste's desire to gain her freedom. I can't shrug off the thought of how it was utterly impossible for me to accomplish.One of them requires the presence of my wolf to believe that I really am his mate. While the other one here wants me to break the curse first, which would definitely be hard as Siege still doesn't accept me."Can't you just take over my entire conscience like everyone else does? Is it necessary for us to function in two different bodies if, in the end, we would still share the same mind?" I asked, in an attempt to search for another way for Celeste to get what she wants."You have too many questions. Don't you know the saying that curiosity can kill?" Celeste shook her head in disappointment. Then she snapped one of her fingers, which made the surroundings change.I was hit with a sense of nostalgia a

Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 95 - The New Beginning
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI should've believed my guts from the start. And if I did, then Ice wouldn't have had to act as a sacrifice for us to survive and win against the Moon Goddess. I never imagined that he could've been this risky, since I knew him as the type of person who values his own life more than anyone else's."Ice!" I yelled out his name, trying to reach out to him, but he was already too far away from me. "Damn it, Ace! Did the two of you plan this beforehand? Was this why you prevented him from telling me whatever it was?" I questioned him out of frustration, even though I already knew the answer to it.Ace couldn't bear to look me in the eye because of the guilt that was surging in his mind. "I'm sorry. This was the only way for us to live and get through this, Celestina. I already asked him a lot of times to think this over, but Ice insisted that he should be the sacrifice if it comes down to it," he explained. He kept on playing with his fingers while his head was b
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 94 - The Sacrificial Leader
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI screamed to stop the Moon Goddess from erasing the portal's existence. I've been desperately waiting for it to show itself for years, and now that I finally have the chance to get back to my world, I won't let Sarina ruin my dream."Don't do it, Celestina. Do you know what will happen to you if you kill Sarina?" Siege questioned me. His voice was still filled with authority, but there was also a hint of concern in it. "You're going to end up with the same fate as her; you'll die the very second that she dies. That's why there still wasn't anyone who dared to take her life, since it's the same as killing themselves," he explained.Sarina chuckled upon hearing the alpha's explanation. "If you don't want her to take my life, would you do the honor of killing me?" she asked out of pure curiosity.I glanced at Siege, waiting for what his response would be, but his mouth remained shut for minutes. That silence was enough for me to confirm that he's not prepared t
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 93 - The Eradication
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVAt first glance, I didn't think that Sarina would descend at this kind of time when a lot of people were still awake. And as expected, all of those around us had their eyes focused on the Moon Goddess. They probably haven't seen them from such a close distance before, which wasn't the case for me.I sensed Stella holding my fingertips, and even if it was just that, I could still feel how strongly she was shaking. It might have been because of the dominant presence of Sarina, or maybe she was just afraid that she might get punished for desiring to take my spot."I came here in case you forgot about the portal, Celestina Villarama." Sarina broke the silence between us, and my eyes widened, realizing that I only thought of the upcoming judgment day and not the next summons of the portal. "In less than a few minutes, the portal is going to show itself in the place where you saw it together with them," she added.The Moon Goddess didn't bother to take a few steps
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 92 - The Judgment Day
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVThe woman that all of us didn't want to see this duel barged into the beta's room, and right when I thought that she would yell and demand that they stop, she chose to stand by with such a brazen expression on her face. "Stella," I whispered my sister's name, and she didn't even bother to glance at me—not until she was finally taken aback and her consciousness seemed to have returned to reality."Celestina, what's happening here?" Stella asked me, slowly approaching me as she looked twice at the Wongs siblings, who were still rumbling on one another. "Why are they fighting in their wolf forms? I know that they're supposed to have their regular training sessions, but they never shifted before because of training," she added.The way that Stella sounded genuinely curious about the scenario she stepped into made me feel like she hated to see them in a duel too."If I tell you that I'm the reason why they're having a duel right now, will you believe and forgive m
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 91 - The Duel
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVThe way that Kris never spoke right after he saw the mark on his brother's neck made me feel a little bit guilty. I know that I shouldn't be feeling this way since he's not really my mate to begin with, but the way that I got his hopes up that I'd be choosing him and sticking together with him in his new pack that he planned to build was just disappointing.I nudged Siege's arm with my elbow as we were heading inside the Crimson Moon Pack's mansion. He was beside me, and Kris was the one taking the lead."What's wrong with Kris?" I asked, my voice almost coming out like a whisper. "I haven't seen him get this furious before," I added, referring to how Kris wasn't talking to us at all.Siege shrugged his shoulders, pouting. "He's probably hurt that you've got your eyes on me now, unlike before, when he still stood a chance against me," he answered, feeling proud of himself that he was finally able to claim me from his brother.We crossed through the lobby, hea
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 90 - The Pleasure
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVFor the entire night yesterday, I wasn't able to sleep, not even for a minute or two. We had to rest at the same place where Siege killed the Silver Moon Pack's alpha and beta, so it was absolutely uncomfortable for me. Their scent was infuriating to my nose, and it just kept getting stinkier every minute that passed by.Siege wanted to dispose of their bodies in a way that no one would be able to find their corpses, but he had no idea how to do so.I suggested setting their bodies on fire, but it would still gather the pack members' attention, so he made up his mind that he would just make an official announcement that he killed the both of them and that they were the first ones to challenge him to a duel.As their rules were originally set, once someone challenged the other party into a duel, either one of the two had to die, no matter who it was. And now that Siege has done it, he will definitely be the strongest wolf in the whole Dark Valley."Are you goi
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 89 - The End of A Long Night
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVThe aura that emitted from Siege was bursting with intense bloodlust, even though he was still not shifted to his wolf form. In each step that he made towards Lucas and Leo, he was glowing in a mixture of a dark and crimson aura."Give me Celestina's pendant back, Leo. I'll give you three seconds to hand it to me," Siege seriously mumbled. He wasn't even looking at any of them, and despite watching them from behind, I can see how Siege was only glancing at his feet."Oh, is this what you're after?" Leo showed him the pendant, waving it in front of his face to force Siege to look at it.The beta of the Silver Moon Pack attempted to break the pendant, but he was unsuccessful in every attempt he made. I couldn't help but smirk upon witnessing how much he humiliated himself in front of Siege because of that failure.I guess Sarina was still on my side after all."You thought that you were being protected by the Moon Goddess?" Siege scoffed, finally raising his he
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 88 - The Escape II
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVEven after all of those provocations that I gave Leo, I still have no concrete plan on how I can possibly take someone as strong as him down. However, despite the difference in our strengths, I still have the will to fight back because of the moral support that I'm getting from Siege. And besides, he's also in a bind because of Lucas.I never imagined that these two would actually team up and yearn to defeat us, since all along, I seriously believed that Lucas wasn't on good terms with Leo. And it's now making me wonder if Ice was also on the same side as his alpha and beta, or if he had a different mindset than the two."When are you going to stop this farce? I'm getting exhausted from all of these; I just want to live a peaceful life; can't you at least grant me that?" I asked, which was followed by a loud sigh. "I don't deserve to experience all these, do I? I mean, I wasn't even born here; what right do you have to make me suffer like this?" I added to ma
Vengeance of The Rejected Mate Chapter 87 - The Escape I
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVIt's not that I have no other choice left. Deep down, I was really waiting for the time that Siege would end up breaking in between my pledge with Kris, and that was the main reason why I paused and hesitated before.I nodded my head. "You should also promise the same thing. I don't care anymore if you've really gotten Stella pregnant; just get her out of the Crimson Moon Pack. I want to be your Luna, and I can't bear seeing my sister taking my spot," I said, which came out of my mouth instead of letting it be said through our mind-link.Siege placed his hand above my head, slowly ruffling my hair, saying that I was beautiful. It was the first time for me to hear him call me beautiful now that I'm a grownup. I know that Siege endlessly called me pretty when we were kids, but I never took it seriously since we were still young back then.He moved away from me, telling me to stand still at the corner and let him handle things with Lucas and Leo. I kept on remin
