Ezra’s POVI am staring at Clemento, looking carefully, thinking if he will suddenly laugh and reveal to me that everything he said was just a joke. However, a minute has already passed but he is only looking at me, waiting for my reaction like everyone else around us.“Is this some sort of a joke?” I asked. I angrily turn on my back to face the other side where Ryler is standing. He is also staring at me. He takes a deep breath and sighs. “It’s not. I also have something to ask you,” he said.I scoff. They just told me about my real identity a moment ago and now, he wants to ask me something? Can’t I have a rest? I still haven’t processed everything that was told to me.“Don’t you think I have way more information to digest and you asking a question right now isn’t right?” I sarcastically asked. To be honest, I do not know where I got the courage to talk to him this way. I was not even angry at him when I left the pack. In fact, I am concerned about his future, which leads me to c
Ezra’s POVAfter several minutes of slumping down the cold floor of Gia’s house, Clemento helped me stand from the ground. He snakes his left arm around my waist while his free hand helped me stand.“‘Are you sure about this, Celestine?” Clemento asked while staring at me. I fixes my stance and managed to stand properly.I lift my chin and look around me. Gia and her family is waiting for my response. I couldn’t really read what they want me to answer unlike the guy standing across them.Ryler is looking straight into me. Even his facial expression looked blank, I know him well. Just by seeing the small lump in his throat moves up and down, I understand that he doesn’t want the way this conversation is going.Right at this moment, we are still mates. He can still feel what I am feeling.I faced my brother. As I look in his face, I still couldn’t fathom the fact that I am his sister and we share the same blood.“I want to go home. In my home.”Clement’s hooked eye turned soft. He glanc
Ezra’s POV“Princess Celestine?” I heard a soft voice from the outside of my room.I let out an exhausting sigh and darted my head on my closed door, wondering if this was real… if the servant behind the door was really calling me a princess.“I’ll come. Just give me a minute,” I answered. I did not hear a response, but I heard her footsteps fading. I look at the digital wall clock resting on my side table. According to my brother, it is called a digital clock. It’s more convenient than a wall clock since the exact time is already flashed on its screen.On the other side of my room, there is a flat-screen TV. Like the clock, it is my first time having one. Way back when I was in the village, these kinds of modern things were rarely found. When I got into the Midnight Shadow pack, I thought it was already the most modern world I could live in. But here I am– in our pack. My home. My family. Everything happened so fast. I can’t still comprehend all of it. My brother gave me time, He
Celestine’s POV “Where do you want to start?” My father asked. We just finished eating our meal. 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
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
Ryler's POV"Ryler? Ryler!"I just got out of my car and now, Laura's high-pitched voice welcomed me.My chest is rising up and down out of frustration. I unbutton my coat and pull my tie to loosen it around my neck.Laura closes our gap by jogging towards me. I faced her, slightly irritated. "What?" I asked coldly.In my peripheral vision, I saw Roman getting out of the car. Laura glances at him before pouting at me."S-So.. is it true? Is that girl really a Princess?" she asked."Yes," I answered.1 did not wait for her to process what I said and started walking back inside the house. I sensed Roman following me from behind. It took Laura a couple of seconds before I heard her footsteps chasing us.She grabbed my arm and blocked my way, making me stop.I look at her with nothing in my eyes. I am in no mood to deal with her. This day made me exhausted and all I want is to enter my room."Get out of my way," I coldly said.Instead of listening to me, Laura clutched her hands on the si
Celestine's POV"Let him in..." my brother ordered.'Oh, dear God. What is he even doing here?!look at my brother. 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. We went straight to the ma
Celestine’s POV“I will court you, Celestine. I will show you that I am worth the risk… again.”I take a deep breath while staring at the sky blue peaceful sky. 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
