25 Ryler’s POV I look at the ceiling peacefully, trying to have a grasp of reality. I just woke up, but I still feel sleepy. Guess I only had a couple of minutes before waking up. I look at the window on the left side of the room. Even the thick black curtain could not hide the currently rising sun from outside. I felt the bed rock due to the small movement made. I roll over and look straight at her face. Ezra fell asleep last night. I planned to call Roman to put her back in her cell, but I realized it's better for her to stay here-- no because I want her to sleep with me, but because I have something to discuss with her right after she wakes up. Also, I am certain that Roman is still at the party, enjoying his girls. We were too busy these past few days that I somehow thank Romeo that he threw a party to help him relax. Her head is resting on my chest while her arms are snaked around my waist. I can feel her heartbeat against my chest as well as her breathing. I stare at he
Ezra’s POVI slowly went out of his room and shut the door behind me. I take a deep sigh and rest my back on the currently closed door.The hallways are all silent. It made me hear my own heartbeat. I really thought I was calm the whole time. Now I realized that my insides are too loud due to the silence around me. My eyes darted to the room adjacent to the room where I fell asleep. I bite my lower lip when I remember what happened last night. I let out a harsh sigh. Right after he made me suck him, I thought we were going to do it. However, he only played with me. And when I say play, I literally mean 'play'. Ryler used several toys to stimulate me down there. He made me experience things that I never felt before. I thought I would be given a punishment for slapping Laura, but I do not think what he did to me last night was a punishment at all. Hours of doing that but we still did not end up doing 'it'. I was thinking that maybe he was holding back. As far as I remember, he was
Ezra’s POV “Why don’t you have a scar?!” she hissed. Her grip around my arm tightened. I winced and tiptoed, trying to gently pull my arm from her, however, she doesn’t want to let go. “M-Ma’am…” I uttered. To be honest, I can easily pull my arm back, but I am certain that if I do it, she’ll get tripped to her feet. I bite my lips inwardly to stop myself from making a scene. I know Laura is already mad at me and I do not want to add something that would make her furious. My life here in the hands of my mate is already hard. I cannot afford another obstacle that I need to deal with. “Answer me!” she yelped. My lips twitch, not knowing how to answer her. I do not even know why she is expecting marks on my—Hold on. Does she thinks I was whipped by Ryler? My brows furrowed while thinking of that possibility. She aggressively let go of my arm and look at me with her narrowed-looking eyes. “What did he do to you?” she once again asked. This time, I pressed my lips together, refus
aEzra’s POVA tall woman is standing in front of us. I looked at her, trying to remember if I’d seen her face before already.It’s obvious that she’s already at age due to the wrinkles under her eyes and temples. However, the way she stands, walk, and move is full of grace that you wouldn’t think she’s aging at all.With her straight back, shoulders broad, and head held up high, I can say that she’s the kind of woman that is well-respected. Her hands are clasped together as she walks towards us.Laura and the servant bowed their heads at her, so I followed them.When I lift my upper body and accidentally locked our eyes, I hitched. Her gaze looks casual and calm but at some point, I feel like I do not have the right to look at her. She's very intimidating even though she's not doing nor do I hear her say a word. I blink my eyes uncontrollably and bite my lips inwardly. I did not notice that I am already staring a little too long at her. "What is happening here?" she asked. Her eyes
Ezra’s POV“Who was that?” I asked.The servant who is with me looked at me with a shocked expression.“How come you did not know her?” she asked with disbelief.I bite my lower lip, contemplating whether I’ll speak my mind or not.“Uhm, I just got here hours ago,” I said.She arches her brow. Her face went at ease as if she already understand what I am saying.“Oh, is that so?” she rhetorically asks.I nod my head.She completely faces me and sighs.“She’s the one who stands as Alpha Ryler’s parents. Coach is the sister of Alpha Ryler’s father. We all call her coach because she is the one who taught Alpha Ryler all the things he need to know before being an Alpha.”“Oh, so she’s a lietaral coach, huh,” I commented.“Yep. She was the one managing everything before. She is like the president of our pack,” she added.“Like a Luna?” I asked.“More than a Luna. Everyone was scared of her.”“Even Alpha Ryler?” I asked curiously.Since she said that everyone is scared of Coach, I wonder if
Ryler’s POV “Did you tell them to make this quick? Inform them that I still have more important things to discuss other than my mate and having a son,” I said. I know the meeting will circulate on that topic. I’m already tired of hearing the same lines of sermon from them throughout the years since I became the Alpha. “I did. Are you going to open up the topic about the rogues?” Roman asked. I nod. “Let’s go,” I said and exit the door. Roman followed me from behind. “I thought the other pack is already dealing with it?” he once again asked. “I know. But I want to put my hands on that case. You know Edgar and his son is part of that rogue group,” I replied. We are on our way down the stairs when I notice Ezra along with the servant that I called earlier. They are carrying almost nothing other than a ragged bag on Ezra’s shoulder and some of the bathroom products in a small basket held by the servant. They were midway when they noticed us. They immediately step aside and lowered
Ryler’s POV“Let’s start,” I said.I rest my back comfortably on my swivel chair and let it rock a little. I was not the one who initiated this meeting, but since they call for it, then I’ll use this as an opportunity to raise my idea.Roman went to the vacant seat beside Shir and sat there.“Where’s your brother?” Renieval asked.“House. He is wasted from the party last night. He’s probably sleeping right now,” Roman replied.Renieval sigh and shakes his head. “He definitely has his father’s behavior,” she replied. “Call him. Tell him to attend the meeting. We will wait for him.”“He won’t go. You know him, Mom. Besides, he won’t do anything here nor raise suggestions. It’s better for him to stay inside his room.”Renieval hiss. “That is why your brother grew up incompetent. You keep on babysitting him!”“Mom, this is a pack meeting. Not a family meeting,” Roman reminded.“Packs are family!” his mother immediately replied. “I should have been strict to him as I am to you. I thought w
Ezra’s POV“Here’s your key. That’s the duplicate copy. The original one was given to Alpha Ryler,” the servant said and handed me a key.It is an average key size but I think I need to make a keychain for this so I won’t lose it.“Thank you!” I replied.She nods her head at me and gave the room one last look before darting her eyes at me.“You’re lucky,” she said and left the room after shutting the door close between us.I bite my lips inwardly to stop myself from smiling widely. I know my future here is uncertain and this is definitely not permanent, but I also do not want to rob myself from being happy over small things.For others, having their own room might be not big of a deal, but for someone like me who grew up sleeping in the floor’s small living room with no privacy at all, having a room is such a luxurious gift.I slowly step inside the room. My eyes wander around with my lips slightly parted. I still could not believe that this room is mine.I excitedly remove the newly
