All Chapters of Vengeance of The Rejected Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVIce’s eyes were filled with rage, which I knew for sure I could not control. The red aura of his that I assumed was because of his affection for me was now mixed up with how vexed he was with what I said. "I-Ice? What’s the matter?" I asked as carefully as I could. I didn’t even notice that my feet were unconsciously walking backwards, as if my wolf was the one who was already telling me that I should head out of this place and run as far as I could, just to stay away from his range."Was there anyone else other than me who promised to protect you, no matter what the cost would be?" Ice repeated the same sense of his query from earlier. "I’ll be counting from one to three, Celestina Villarama. If you would not be able to give me a response within the said time frame, then I’m sorry—""It’s Kristoffer... The Crimson Moon Pack’s Beta, Kristoffer Wong!" I answered in a state of panic.I observed how Ice’s breathing pattern returned to normal when I mentioned my p

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI have exactly no idea where I gained such courage to actually talk back to an alpha, knowing that I reacted the same way that I did to Siege. Maybe I’m just really fed up with all of their similar behaviors towards the necklace that I wore.I would’ve understood if they hated the moon goddess based on their own share of loathsome experiences, but they could have spared me. I have no connection to or relevance to their issues, especially since I’m basically a newcomer with her memories lost."Seriously though, what happened, Celestina? You haven’t told me anything about the occurrences when Lucas summoned you. I’m getting worried now that you haven’t spoken at least a single word." Ice has been continuously speaking.I’ve heard everything that he said, but I had absolutely no energy to give him an answer. He’s right, though—my mind has been kept blank ever since the time that I returned from the alpha’s office.After the way that I confronted their alpha, I fe

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVWe may have looked like cowards, but I didn’t think twice about pulling Ice back from Kristoffer’s reach. I knew that Kristoffer was dangerous, knowing that he’s a few steps below before he reaches his brother’s rank."Exactly what’s the relationship between you and Master Kristoffer, Ice? He knew who you were, and it wouldn’t make any sense if you said that this was the first time that you met him," I said.If I have to use force just to make him spill the truth between them, then I have no other choice."It’s a long story, Celestina. A few minutes wouldn’t be enough for me to tell you everything, but let me at least say this to you." Ice bit his lower lip and fixed his eye contact with mine. "It would be best for you not to stick around with him. You have no idea what he’s capable of. Once he sets his mind onto something, he would actually be able to create a whole catastrophe that no one would be able to survive," he added."Are you done chit-chatting?" Kri

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI was left wondering how I would be able to call Siege out in the woods when I couldn’t even figure out how I would be able to get out of this place without getting the attention of Lucas, who was still caught up in the momentum of seeking Kristoffer’s death bed. Ice wasn’t moving away from his spot; he’s most probably being hindered by Lucas himself from intervening."Call Siege while you still can, Celeste. You’re the last hope…" Kristoffer’s breathing was slower than the normal rate, which only shows how weakened he has become.I gazed above the skies and stared at the moon. I can’t properly explain how it was possible, but believe it or not, the moon itself turned back to how it was earlier—a crimson one. I gulped as I recalled the image of Siege inside my head. The alpha was still inside the same place; however, Kristoffer was no longer there. He was holding onto a small picture of a girl that was framed. It wasn’t literally a picture; it was more of a sk

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
