CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVAmelia already left me on my own, and even though I caught up to her as she was about to take her exit, she managed to lock the door from the other side with the lever that she used earlier. So I went back down with my shoulders feeling heavy.I stared at my hands, which had the keys to the weapons that I could use. A single shot from those guns would easily take them down, but I can't be overly confident. Knowing Siege, he wouldn't give me such an easy task. Shooting down those rogues would definitely not be the end of their lives, and I might just put myself at risk of death if I attempt to do it."Amelia could've at least told me what to do or where to shoot those wolves so I could precisely hit them without wasting bullets," I mumbled to myself, thinking that no one would reply."You're not going to be stuck there for days if I order Amelia to give you a hint, Celestina," Siege said to me through the speakers that were on the ceiling. "And another thing,
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI've been holding my breath in for a while now since I was trying to suppress the pain that I got from the alpha. Siege was burying his nail in my arm, which caused my blood to gush out of it. He kept on pulling my arm in the direction of the rogues' cell, making them cause an uproar."S-stop that, Siege! T-they're worse than vampires when it comes to reacting to blood," I anxiously said as I kept on attempting to retrieve my arm from his grasp, only to receive constant failure. "I-I'll do it, okay? Just let go of me, then I'll do the training or whatever it is that you want," I convinced him.Siege's fingers began to get lighter, so I took that opportunity to pull my arm away. "You could've just agreed to it earlier. I wouldn't have hurt you if you did." He rolled his eyes as if it wasn't a big deal for him to give me a wound, since he knows that I can heal myself.My heart thumped in nervousness that I might end up embarrassing myself right in front of the
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVIn every breath that I took, I kept on smashing my scythe in front of me as I attempted to slash the rogue's head to cut it off of its body. I kept on moving back; I even had to jump on the wall, as if my feet were sticky enough for me to stay there. I'm just lucky that only one of them caught up to me. Or so I thought.At the very moment that I looked back to where the cage was and where the rest of them were staying, I saw none of them. There were no traces left of them other than the cage's steel bars. Because of how much I panicked thinking about the others who were missing, I stumbled on the ground when the rogue in front of me managed to land its claws on me."Focus, Celestina. You can't win if your mind is too troubled. You should learn how to strike back and avoid even if you're thinking about something else. That would be the only way for you to survive," Siege said from behind.The alpha never lost track of me, no matter how far I jumped. He was alw
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVAs I declared that I would be the one victorious in the end, I sat on the bodies of the rogues that I slaughtered. Their heads were laying beside the shelves and were lined up to make sure that I really did defeat five of them in an hour. I still can't believe that I did it, but that's really the result."So, how does it feel to kill wolves, Celestina? Doesn't it drive you insane? Isn't there an adrenaline rush surging in your veins that urges you to find more wolves to kill?" Siege consecutively questioned me as if he were seeing me as one of the murderers of the realm.I rolled my eyes, releasing the scythe from my hands, causing it to roll down the body of the rogue until it reached the ground. "All I know is that I've grown stronger. Not as strong as the beta or you yet, but at least I did improve a bit," I said to compliment myself.Heaving out a short sight of relief, I felt somehow proud of myself. All the doubts that I had since the beginning of this
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVMy hand was wrapped around the hot palm of Siege as he brought me closer to the fountain's distance. There were a lot of eyes set on us, but the alpha just informed me not to give them much attention. We were only a few inches apart from the fountain now, and after a minute, we finally decided to place our palms on its base.Just like the first time that I saw the same type of fountain back in the Silver Moon Pack, the aura that emitted from the two of us felt like it had been altered. I thought that it was only Ice who wanted to escape, but it turns out that the alpha and I also share the same intention.All of us wanted to escape from this realm that the moon goddess forced upon us."Don't think about anything else other than the portal, Celestina," Siege warned. "If the fountain detects that you're thinking about something or someone else, it will push you away," he added.I simply nodded my head at the same time that I shut my eyes, focusing on the image
CELESTINA VILLARAMA’S POVMaster Kristoffer has been continuously urging me to get out of the Crimson Moon Pack’s turf, but his brother insisted that I should stay with them for good. Siege hasn't spoken a word since we returned to the pack house, and it’s making me conscious because of how much I wanted to hear about his idea about the connection between the portal and judgment day.“Siege, can we talk for a while?” I asked as he was about to go upstairs to leave me with the beta. “You were about to say something to me earlier, and I don’t think I can sleep if I don't get to hear it today,” I said.The alpha nodded his head at the same time that he gestured to the beta to follow us. I glanced at Master Kristoffer, whose smile hadn’t faded. It was the first time that I noticed how attractive his genuine smile was.We entered the room right beside the alpha’s office, and it was quite empty. The walls were almost broken because of the evident cracks, and the wallpapers were already gett
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVBiting my lower lip with my fists formed into tight balls, I lowered my arm as I faced the two, who somehow ambushed us by not letting us detect their presence from early on. It was Master Kristoffer, together with someone whom I least expected to step foot on the Crimson Moon Pack's turf."Stella? What the heck are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the Silver Moon Pack? And why are you standing beside Master Kristoffer as if the two of you are close?" I consecutively questioned my sister, who was having a smug expression on her face.The omega of the opposing pack shrugged her shoulders. She let her hands roam above the beta's shoulder, trailing her fingers down to his arm. "Who knows? Kris was the one who barged in our pack, begging me to accompany him here. He told me the details while we were on the way," she replied.I approached the two of them, and we were only a few inches apart from one another, though Siege didn't come with me. "Master Kristoffer
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POV I never imagined that I would go back to the Silver Moon Pack as early as now. Siege told his brother to accompany me on the way there, since he doesn't trust Stella fully. And as soon as we arrived at the entrance of the mansion, Master Kristoffer bowed his head to bid us farewell. "You're such a fool," Stella whispered, and I just ignored her, knowing that I had no other choice but to proceed in the mansion. Lucas probably detected my presence from the moment that we stepped foot in the lobby, and I was anticipating that he would be the first one that I'd see here, but he was nowhere in sight. I wanted to ask Stella, but she had already left me all by myself. "You're back." Ice approached me with a confused expression on his face. "As much as I want to question your sudden return, I want to thank you for going back today. Lucas is waiting for you in his room," he informed me.
