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,
Ryler’s POV“Hi, Ryler!” a woman’s high-pitched voice echoed in my ears. My brows instinctively furrowed. I glance at my beta, Roman, who is standing behind me and avoiding my eyes.I sigh with my closed lips. This is why I hate going to this kind of event.The pointed heels of her footsteps started approaching my direction. A soft hand seductively rested on my shoulder before it crawled down my chest. I can sense her face nearing the back of my neck.“I’m Vesha—”“Not interested,” I coldly answered without looking at her.Roman chuckled. In my peripheral vision, I saw him covering his mouth with his hand when the girl threw a glare at her.“Remove your hands off me,” I added.The girl quickly removed her hands and stomped away. I even heard her hissing while marching back to her seat.I rest my elbows in the armchair and massaged my temples with my fingers.“Alpha, that girl is a 10/10. Did you see her curves? Her bottom cheeks and her big round boo—”“Why exactly did you bring me he
Ezra’s POV“Son of a b*tch. Faster, Ezra!” my mother yelled.My tears keep running down my cheeks as I run with my barefoot. I ignored the dump and muddy ground as well as the sharp stones that pierces through my sole. It’s too dark in here.The only source of light is the silver shining moon displayed in the sky and the wildfire that quickly eats our small village.I wipe my tears away as I continue running.I couldn’t stop. I shouldn’t stop. They will kill me. They will kill us. “Help me! Help, please!”I roam my eyes around me without stopping my feet from taking huge steps. I do not know where the voice is coming from. Everything around me is in chaos. Some are screaming because their houses are burning, while others are screaming because they are burning.My lips quiver in fear. As much as I want to help, I know I could do nothing.My mother and father are both a few steps ahead of me. They are holding each other’s hands while running.Our small village is being attacked. No—mor
Ezra's POV "What are we going to do with this b*tch?" one of the soldiers asked. My hands are tied behind my back and they put a piece of cloth in my mouth so I cannot ask for help. As if I have someone I can ask a help to. Even my own family left me without hesitation. After my family ditch me, the soldiers tried to catch them, but they came back empty-handed. "We were caught off guard. We did not expect that," said one of the soldiers. The other chuckled. One of them is holding my hands behind my back as if I'll run away. "I can't believe they just left their daughter to us." They all laugh. I lower my head as they drag me along with them. To be honest, I do not know where we are heading. Unlike my brother, this is the first time I got caught. My brother was once caught by the soldiers. He was lurking around the territory of one of the packs and their guards saw him. He was gone for two weeks. My mother was so worried that she almost lost her sanity. I became the new mo
Ezra's POV Two guards are dragging me side by side. I am blindfolded and the only thing I am certain of is we are heading into a dark place. Earlier, I can still see the light from the sky, but when we started entering this air-conditioned place, my closed eyes sensed the darkness. My whole body quivers in fear as I heard the crowd cheer. "Ready, rogue?" The guard on my left side asked. I did not answer him, but I do not think he mind. "And for our next item... Let me introduce to all of you... 18-year-old female!" My brows furrowed. Before I can even react, I felt the cloth covering my eyes loosened. My eyes adjusted to the dark as they remove my blindfold. Before I can react, one of the guards pushed me from behind, forcing me to advance. "Walk or we're going to kill you here," one of them whispered. He pulled out a small knife from his back and pointed it at my side. I bite my lower lip. My hands are shivering in fear, but I tried to not let it show. Being left with n
Ezra's POV"$100 000."I feel like my heart fell from a tall building. For a second I felt a subtle pain in my chest. I darted my eyes straight at him. The man behind him, which I suppose is his Beta, first bid for $100 000. The crowd went silent after that as if they do not believe the amount that was raised. Who would? The bidding started from $100 and now I am being sold for $100 000!The man... I mean, my mate repeated the amount. This time, he was the one who raised a hand."$100 000."My lips quivered and my jaw drop.'D-Does this means he wants me?'He is my mate. An Alpha!Before I get my hopes up, I immediately reminded myself about the what-ifs running in my mind.What if he just pity me?What if he doesn't really want to buy me but the mate bond is giving him a hard time? For all we know, mate bonds are the hardest bond to break.It may be good news to me that my mate is an Alpha, but I couldn't imagine that behind his sophisticated look and strong physique, his mate is
Ryler’s POV“What’s your plan, Alpha?” Roman asked.We are sitting in the lobby of my room, sipping whiskey.I loosen the tie hanging around my neck and unbuttoned the first three buttons of my long sleeves top.“Nothing,” I answered.After she blacked out, I asked Roman to bring her to her cell on the underground.I do not know what got into me and I bought her. I have no plans of saving her, and if I were to be honest, it would be better if she’ll get eaten by the terminator yesterday.“Then why did you buy her?” Roman suspiciously asked.I glance at him and chose to ignore his words. I took a sip of my whiskey and harshly put the glass down on the center table. I rest my elbows on my knees and clasped my fingers together.“Admit it, you need her.”My jaw clenches. I look at Roman coldly. Instead of being intimidated like what my people usually feel around me, he just shrugged.“Our pack needs a Luna, Ryler. Don’t you understand what the seniors in our pack said on the last meeting?
Ezra’s POVLaura pushed me hard, which made me sit back on the wooden bed. I grimace in pain as my bottom cheeks hit the hard mat.Over towering shadows stand in front of me. When I lift my head, the five guards are already surrounding me.On the not-so-far corner, I saw Laura leaning on the wall. Her arms are crossed above her chest while her perfect set of teeth are flashed as she grins at me.“Do her,” she languidly said.My eyes widen at what she said.“No, please. Stop!” I screamed. I attempted to stand and run even though I know it is impossible to escape this small cell with a number of guards around me. However, I wasn’t thinking clearly already and all I can think is for me to run away from them.One of the guards snake his arm around my waist and effortlessly pushed me back on the bed. Before I can get back on my feet, the other two guards held my wrists and place them on the sides of my head, pinning me down.“No, please. Don’t do this. Please!” I begged.Tears are now pool
