Ezra’s POV I keep on walking back and forth here in my room. After Ryler told me to leave, Roman followed me and drove me back here intohe house. I asked if Ryler would be following us. He did not answer and only gave me a small smile. I did not like it. I think he’s playing safe. Also, I still haven’t forgotten that Ryler will be meeting that girl in one of their hotel rooms! The thought of them standing in front of each other and talking about whatever they had in the past makes my blood boil. I stop marching and stare intently at the closed door of my room. ‘3…2…1’ I let out an exhausting sigh. Okay, that’s it! I’m going. I harshly pulled open my door and rushed outside. I saw some servants eyeing me, but I ignored them. Before, most of them gave me side eyes, but now, the worst I received is a hiss. There are servants earlier in the meeting so, I guess the news is already spreading. When I got outside the house, I saw the car we used earlier. I can hear the engine from this
Ezra’s POV I do not know how to react. We are still on our way back home but my feet isarelready itching to march back into our room. How could he do this? After he confidently tells the moonlight pack and the others that I am his mate and his future Luna, he will ask someone to marry him instead. I don’t know if I got angry this bad before, but the rage I am feeling right now couldn’t be described by words. “We’re here,” Roman announced. I nodded at him and uttered a soft ‘thank you.’ I’m mad but it doesn’t mean I have the right to be rude. Also, I still haven’t forgotten that in the eyes of others, I am still a slave. I do not know how Roman sees me but he was never rude to me since then. He might be strict and formal most of the time, but he was not unreasonable. I step out of the car and shut the door calmly. I thought I could stay calm until I reached my room, but after a few steps, I found myself marching and stomping my feet against the clean marbled tiles of the house. I
59Ezra’s POVMy heart started beating fast. I do not know what to do. I was nervous but weirdly, I felt calm being hugged by him.“You’re nervous,” he said, stating the obvious.I tried to pull away from his embrace but he did not let me. Instead, he hugged me tighter. I felt his hand on my waist crawling down and cupping the back of my knees. I yelped when he lifted me from the ground and was about to carry me like a sack of rice when I stopped him.“Don’t carry me like that. I don’t like it,” I said.“All right,” he uttered.I thought he was going to put me down and let me walk back into the room. However, he just changed my position and carried me in a bridal style. I felt like I was a doll because he carried me so easily.I instinctively hook my hands on my nape. My eyes dropped on his slightly parted lips. I was tempted to lean forward and let our lips collide, but I stopped myself.I notice the sides of his lips slightly stretching upwards. But no matter how hard he tried, I co
Ezra’s POVI wake up with a heavy thing resting on my stomach. When I opened my eyes, the blinding light of the rays of the sun hit my face. Instinctively, I place my hand in front of my face to cover it from the harmful light.“Sorry, I wasn’t able to close your curtains last night. I fell asleep cuddling you,” Ryler whispered.His hand tightens around my waist and pulls me closer to him. I am facing the left side of my room while he is facing my back. He spooned me from behind and buried his face in the crook of my neck.With still closed eyes, I chuckled.“It’s fine. I also fell asleep last night,” I said.“You were sleeping tight. Did I make you tired?” Ryler’s warm breath is brushing against my nape. He then planted a soft kiss on the back of my neck.The scene of what we did last night played in my head. After talking here in my room, he ordered a servant to get us food for dinner. I was pretty exhausted last night from all the drama that I caused so, I was planning to sleep rig
Ezra's POVIlay my back on the closed door. I can still hear her angry screams from downstairs. I wonder how Romeo can handle all those annoying yells.Serves her right. It took me a long before I realized that I don't deserve to be treated that way. I grew up with no one teaching me how I was supposed to be treated. Maybe that's the reason why I keep on accepting disrespect around me.But when someone started taking care of you and teaching you how others should treat you, you will never accept any less from others.I do not know if I should be happy with this realization. Aren't I supposed to know how I should be treated even though no one taught me how?The fact that I tolerate disrespect around me means that I do not love myself enough.I shake my head to remove the haywire thought in my head. It doesn't matter now. At least I already know how I should act and what I should accept. I'm done being trampled on by anyone.I walk towards my bed to take a quick nap. My agenda for today
62 Ezra’s POV “C-Coach…” I gulped. My heart begins to race and my palms started sweating cold bullets. I quickly let go of Romeo and stand properly at the edge of the bed to face Mrs. Renieval. “G-Good day, Coach,” I said. “What’s up, mom?” Romeo asked cooly. I want to shut my eyes close and slap my forehead. In my peripheral vision, I can see Romeo languidly pull himself up with his elbow and lay his back on the headboard of the bed. “What the hell are you two doing?!” Mrs. Renieval yelled. I opened my mouth to explain myself when suddenly, Laura appeared from her behind. A smirk is plastered on her face as she eyed me and the guy that is still in my bed. “I told you, Coach, I saw Romeo sneaking out into her room,” Laura said, trying to fuel fire on Coach’s rage. “Stop exaggerating, Laura. I just check up on her to know if she’s okay. You attacked her earlier, right?” Romeo replied. I appreciate his effort, but I still want to smack the hell out of him for not pulling hims
63Why am I even surprised? She doesn’t like me the first time. Why would I think that being a mate of the Alpha will help her have a different perception of me?“I will talk to her. This isn’t right,” Romeo said, assuring me that what his mother said won’t happen.I gave him a weak smile. I am exhausted for today and I need to prepare for the trial tomorrow.I shut my eyes as I remembered how the conversation earlier went.“Since you used the law, then it’s only proper for me to practice it…”“Mom, stop this. You guys are overreacting,” Romeo said.“As a mate of an Alpha, it is a crime to cheat,” Laura added.The smirk on her face is still plastered. I do not think it was erased since she stepped here inside the room.“You are aware of the law, Ms. Zavala. With that being said and with the power vested in me by the law as the guardian of the Alpha, you will be called upon the court to face the charges against you,” she said with formality and finality.I was stunned. I thought they w
Ryler's POVI am sitting on one of the chairs here in their dining area, waiting for the two to come in.Unlike us, the Whitlocks doesn't have a hotel and a meeting hall to welcome their guests. Instead, they let me stay here in their own house.Their house is huge. It is probably three times the size of my house inside our ocn territory. Their territory doesn't look like it is their territory. Unlike in our place, even a human can recgnize that they are on the same place when they visit us because of the common color palette that we used. However, the only indication that you are already in their pack is the same white and gold doorbell that every house has.I noticed it when I was strolling with Roman earlier."Sir, they are coming," Roman announced to me.In my peripheral vision, I watch him chew his food.I shake my head and pushed my tongue on the side of my cheek."Good thing your senses is still the same even all of your focus is in your food," I commented without looking at h
