Ezra's POV"Are you sure she's okay?" | heard a familiar voce from a woman."Yes, Coach. She's fine. I think she's just stressed," answered by another woman. This time, it sounds unfamiliar.l opened my eyes and was welcomed by the blinding light hanging on the ceiling. With half-opened eyes and blurry vision, I roam my eyes around. My sight is still adjusting but I notice two figures of women standing a meter away from me and talking indistinctively.When my sight fully adjusted, I realized that it was Coach and a woman wearing a white robe made for doctors. The walls are in white and gray colors. There is a complete sofa set, a flat screen TV, and a big window made with glass.I tried to sit on the bed but I quickly fell back. My eyes spinned and my body feels comfort on the thick comforter of the bed.The small movement that I made caught the attention of Coach and the woman (who I supposed a Doctor)."Oh my god, Ezra!" Coach hurriedly attend to me. I flash a small smile at her t
"Luna! Luna!" Gia called.I am walking -no, scratch that. I am jogging my way towards the car parked in front of the hospital building.I know we have a hospital here, but this is the first time I got to visit it. Although, it was not really a voluntary visit since I was left with no choice when I collapsed during the event.Good thing, Doc. Marquez allowed me to go out.I pause and face Gia. "Yes?"Gia jog towards me. Her chest is rising up and down as she followed me here out of the hospital. While catching her breath, she asks."Are vou sure the Doctor told you that you are good to go?" she asks.1look at the upper right corner of my eyes as I try to remember my conversation with the Doc. Marquez earlier."Luna, you need a rest. If possible, after the event, go home right away. It is essential for you to have a good rest after what happened today."I am already half my way towards the exit of the building when she followed me out of here. Mrs.Renieval is talking with the accountin
Ezra's POV"Are vou ready, Luna?" Gia asked."Of course," I said confidently.*If ever you feel nauseous, don't hesitate to tell me, okay?"I smiled. For a short period of time, I and Gia build a strong connection. She is not only my personal servant. For me, she is also a friend."I will," I replied to give her an assurance.We both walk towards the event hall. As we near to the door, we easily caught the attention of the guards standing on the doorwav."L-Luna.one of them called. A shock expression is evident on their faces as I stand strong and proud infront of them."Is the event still ongoing?" I asked.They nod at me, still surprised by my sudden appearance."What's with the face?" I asked.One of the guards aggressively shakes his head. "N-Nothing, Luna. We just did not expect you here.... again," he answered and glued his eyes on the floor."And why is that?" | throw another question. The guard lifts his chin and looked at me, not knowing how to answer me."W-We were here ou
Ezra's POV"Did you see her face, Luna? It was priceless!" Gia exclaimed.We are inside of my room, resting. Gia is fixing my closet. I told her to stop it since we had a long day and I wanted to give her a rest, but she wouldn't. She says she's not comfortable doing anything.I understand her. The first week that I was proclaimed as Luna, I was not used to not doing slave things."I did not do it to get my revenge against her," I clarified.*I know, Luna. I just love the look on her face when the guests give you applause."I shake my head while chuckling. Just like what I said, I am doing this to clear my name. This is not only for me but also for the future of my baby.I lay my back comfortably on my bed. My hands instinctively rest on top of my belly and gently caress it.I do not know how to inform Ryler about this. He's gone for almost two weeks now and no one has ever informed me where he is and what he is doing. I am so close to thinking that maybe he is indeed cheating.My min
Ezra's POVMy heart is beating fast as I hurriedly toss my clothes that Gia folded onto my luggage. I did not mind the hours that Gia spent just to neatly fold my clothes.I keep glancing at the door, scared that someone might barge in or Gia still suddenly knock.I opened the last drawer of my closet."These are the last clothes," I whispered to myself as I looked at the pair of running shoes.I have several shoes left, but I realized I won't need those. Also, I already have one huge luggage and a duffel bag. I do not know where I am heading so I should consider the weight of my bags.I pull up the ledge of my luggage and hook the duffel bag on my left shoulder. I caress my belly and take a deep sigh.I filled up my lungs with courage before heading to my door and stepping out."Where are you going, Luna?"I almost jumped in my place when I heard Gia right behind me.I let out an exhausting sigh before facing her casually and smiling.Gia looked at me from head to toe with her furrow
Ezra's POVI kicked the large rock in front of us so it wouldn't go on our way."This reminds me of our village," I commented.We are in the middle of nowhere. It's been two hours since we left the pack without anyone noticing. I see nothing other than tall trees with big roots that have tripped us over from the past hours."Really? What does your village look like, Luna?" Gia asked. She's walking a few steps ahead of me, guiding me to wherever place she suggested.Gia said it was a safe place and she guaranteed me that no one would find me there. I trust her on that."Similar to this. It is a small village that is surrounded by trees. Everyone in our village knows each other by name or by face since our houses are close to each other," I said.What I said is partly true except that I did not tell her the part where our house is far from other villagers because my father and brother is always doing a 'hunt'. Well, according to them, they are hunting. But in reality, they are actually
Ezra’s POVI am sitting stiffly on the wooden chair as if I am being held captive. In front of me are three chairs with three women sitting on them.“G-Good morning…” I stuttered.I blink my eyes uncontrollably and clear my throat silently. I brush my hair with my fingers, conscious that I might look like a mess.I just woke up a moment ago because I felt someone staring at me. And I was not wrong. Right when I opened my eyes, I saw two women staring at me with a curious look on their faces.I remember how my scream almost reached throughout the forest and how my heart sank because of shock.“Luna, I’m really really sorry about what my mother and grandmother did–”I cut off Gia by shaking my head and awkwardly smiled. “I-It’s okay. They have the right to check who I am,” I replied.I was sleeping in Gia's room. And like what I said, when I woke up, I saw her mother and grandmother looking at me. At that time, I still did not know that they were her family. Also, Gia was not there in h
95 Ryler’s POV “In the count of three…” I give them a heads up. “1… 2… 3. Shoot!” Three shots of gunfire were heard. I look on the other side and saw Clemento. I nod at him. When he got my cue, he ordered his soldiers to march inside the house as we cover them. “We can surely capture Edgar tonight, Alpha,” Roman commented while he attentively watch the soldiers barge the house. I know we will. From the past years, I am only holding back. He is walking freely because I am letting him. He is not that hard to find and capture. I am just buying time for my own benefit. A man who fears nothing is not scared of death. If I ever captured him without knowing what he feared, it will all be useless. I want him to know what I felt when he killed my parents. I want him to suffer like how he let those victims of him suffer for years. After getting a hand of her daughter and wife, I realized that he doesn’t care about his family at all. He is not scared if they lose them. What he is scared
