Ezra's POVI walk towards them with a smile plastered on my face. I tried si hard to hide the pain that I felt when I saw the little girl attenpting to hide her tears by blinking them away.Who taught these kids to be this mean? I should have considered making an activity about values instead of cooking! "Hi, kids!" I greeted.The three turn their heads in my direction. The boy and the other girl's face lit up when they saw me standing in front of them."Luna!" they both said in excitement."Good day, Luna," the other girl said in a soft voice. Her eyes are avoiding me. I perfectly know the reason why. Since she's looking the other way, I notice her eyes glittering in tears that she's keeping at bay. I lean forward and slighy bend over to level ny face to theirs. I take a look at their name tags."So, you're Ana..." I said to the soft girl. She lifts her head and nod at me.I turn my head to the other two. "You're Renz... and you are Bella," I said to the other two."Nice meeting y

Ezra's POVI stare at Gia. Her words still couldn't sink in my mind."Come again?" I asked in disbelief.Gia sigh. "I t-think the accident was not an accident. I think it was a stunt to sabotage the activity," she explained even though it is not necessary.I shake my head, not wanting to accept what I heard. "It's impossible. We clearly saw the burn in that kid's arm. There's no way that it was intentional."Plus, if it was true that it is indeed a sabotage, how could a kid can do that? How could she burn herself intentionally?I felt Ryler's presence behind me. He place his left hand on the wall while his other hand rested around my waist.I saw how Gia's eyes widens when she saw Ryler appeared in my room. She immediately bow her head and awkwardly smiled at me. I can already hear her 'OMG, Alpha Ryler is in your room?!' I let out an exhausting sigh. To be honest, I do not know what to do. What I heard was shocking. Also, we are not sure if it was true."Where did you hear this agai

Ezra's POV"We should alert Alpha Ryler, Luna!" Gia said ina whispering tone.We are still here outside Jessa's room. I couldn't move. I do not know how I'll process what I heard from that little girl.Gia reach for my hands and caress them. When my eyes dropped on our hands, I realized they were shaking."Luna--""I prepared some sandwich--"Gia was interrupted when Jessica appeared with a tray of snacks in her hands. She looked at us, confused, however, flashed a smile at us and slightly tilt her head."Jessa is inside with her friend. Why don'y you check on her?" she asked when she noticed we stayed outside. Jessica crane her neck, peeking on the closed door behind us. "Did you knock? She didn't open the door?" she guesses. I remained silent, watching her lips move as she talk to me. Her shoulders slump and chuckle a little. "Sorry about that. She doesn't want to get disturbed while she's playing so, whenever she's with a friend, she tends to lock the door and never let anyone ente

Ezra's POV"Stop overthinking," Gia said.We are already here in our house, but Laura's words still stuck on my mind. I darted my gaze at her to answer her."I'm not," I said.Gia rolled her eyes at me and cross her arms iver her chest. "It's obvious that you are," she replied.I sigh. Who wouldn't?Well, it's true that her words bothered me. I close my eyes and take a deep breath to calm mysef, however, my conversation with Laura earlier flashed in my mind."No one's dragging you down... because you are already on the bottom."I do not even know why I said that. Maybe I just got frustrated on the fact that Jessica did not mention her name during the trial and let herself take the blame. Although it was indeed her fault for making her daughter hurt herself, but if she's really sorry for her daughter, she should have told everyone everything."That would be unfair to someone who couldn't shift yet," Laura said and laughed.My brows furrowed. So what is she trying to say?When Laura's l

Ezra's POV"Clement?" I asked.I wonder why he's here. Now I know who's the owner of that familiar car parked in front of the Alpha's house.Clement walk towards me while my eyes bore at him, watching him getting nearer. He casually inserts his hands into his pockets and stopped right in front of me.He tilts his head as he stares intensely at me. I notice how his gaze travel throughout my body and landed back to my face.*W-What brought you here?" I threw a question to somehow lessen the awkwardness between us (although I feel like I was the only one who feels awkward)."Are you crying?" he asked.I gulped and avoided my gaze at him. I was sure that I already wiped up the tears from my eyes before leaving the dungeons, but I guess he still noticed it."I'm not..." I said.clement chuckled. "You know, it's obvious that you do not know how to lie," he responded.I sigh. I bite my lower lip. I do not know how to respond to what he said. Is it that obvious that I cried?"May I know what
