Celia POVIt immediately drew laughter from the people around me."Good. Today, as long as you play a song that can make all the students present to applaud for you, then it will be considered a win for you. At that time, we'll do whatever you want us to do!"I looked calm. "It's a deal."The girl in the lead added, "But if you play poorly and don't get the unanimous approval of us students, you'll have to admit you're having an affair with the principal and crawl out from here! We will shoot a video and post it on the school forum! In that case, do you still dare to bet?"I frowned lightly and was silent for two seconds, considering before saying, "Yes."I turned to the stage and took the violin from Perla.Amidst the expectant and questioning eyes of the crowd, I finally strummed the strings.I fiddled with the strings in a haphazard manner, playing them in a messy manner. The sound from the violin was ear-splittingly loud, drawing looks of disgust from the students on stage."Oh my
Celia POVPerla assumed it was a passerby. She was just about to curse, turned her head to look over, and was stunned.Perla blushed, and immediately lost her spunky brashness from earlier.She explained, "Sir, I'm sorry. She broke my antique violin and wanted to leave without paying for it.""Is that so?"Leon calmly lowered his eyes and swept a glance, before raising his hand to pick up the violin and smashed it fiercely against the wall.Only a loud bang was heard, and pieces fell all over the floor.Leon then threw the violin away as if it were trash.Perla came back to her senses and exclaimed in shock, "My violin!"Leon did not show any expression from the beginning to the end, but only ordered in a cold voice, "Calvin, pay her back."Calvin bent his head in response. "Yes."Leon stopped paying attention to the rest and inclined his head to look at me, a few moments of tenderness in the bottom of his icy eyes."Is the party over?""Yes.""Then let's go."Leon gently embraced my
Celia POVInside the subway station.Leon stood behind me while I bought my ticket, looking down at how I was doing it.I turned and walked away, not even looking at him.Leon frowned slightly as he stood in front of the machine and clicked on the prompts a few times.The person in line behind him got a little anxious and urged, "Hey! Are you going to buy it or not?"I was lazily leaning against the railing, looking at Leon, smiling while saying, "Alpha Leon, this is your first time in a subway station, right?"Leon's face was expressionless.I raised my eyebrows and smiled, "I got you a ticket. Let's go."With that, I tossed him a subway ticket.Leon raised his hand to catch it and narrowed his eyes slightly....I couldn't help but laugh out loud again as I slowly walked towards the waiting area with Leon in tow.Leon heard it and looked at me with cold eyes. "What are you laughing at?"I smiled, "Alpha Leon, I was wondering, if a rich person like you went bankrupt, would you not be
Celia POVLeon looked at me with a sneer under his eyes."The world is a big place. There will be a man who will fall in love with you, though I won't understand him."I didn't know how to respond and said, "Thank you for being so concerned."I mumbled, dropping my eyes and breathing evenly, unable to hold on to sleep.I'd been sleepy since just now, and I'd been too tired....I woke up to find myself in the comfy king-sized bed of Black Mist pack's villa.It was still dark outside the window.How did I get back here?I scratched my head, but couldn't recall any memory related to my journey from the subway to Black Mist pack's villa.I didn't dwell on it too much, only thinking about the fact that I was still wearing my coat and had laid down to sleep without a shower. The whole thing was uncomfortable.I then got up and out of bed, confusedly grabbed a random change of clothes from the closet, and pushed the door into the bathroom...There was steam in the bathroom, the sound of run
Celia POVLeon sent Calvin to take Jazlene to the airport.Jazlene had been genuinely nice to me for a while, so I also went to the airport.After waving goodbye to Jazlene, I walked out of the airport.Calvin handed me a form in the car."Luna Celia, Alpha Leon knew you needed to find a job after college and instructed me to arrange a job for you."I raised an eyebrow unexpectedly and looked down at the form in my hand."So, what job are you going to arrange for me now?"Calvin started the car as he replied back, "Luna Celia, you fill out this form, and afterward, I'll have someone place you in the right job based on your intent."Of course, it was a good job, but I was not very interested.However, it occurred to me that it would be impossible for me to get out of Leon's control during this three-month cooperation period, so I might as well go along with his arrangement and do something for a while.After thinking about it, I put the form down casually."I don't want to fill out a f
Celia POV "After the mating ceremony with me, you will leave Dark Moon pack and serve me at home. Besides, you have to give birth to a pup for me within a year!" The man said condescendingly. I felt a surge of anger and disbelief. How could my stepmother Sarah have sold me off to another pack's Beta? This middle-aged man, with thinning hair and a protruding belly, seemed dissatisfied with my appearance. He asked, "How tall are you?" I took a sip of my coffee and replied calmly, "5.6 feet." Keaton nodded, saying, "That's acceptable. I'm nearly 5.9 feet tall. Our height difference will be cute when we kiss. You'll have to stand on your tiptoes, but that's okay. I can bend down a bit." I rolled my eyes at him. "You're wrong, sir." He frowned. "What do you mean?" Just then, a tall, stern-looking man entered the coffee shop. I immediately seized the opportunity and approached him. "Excuse me, I really need your help!" I said, grabbing his tie and pulling him down. I stood on m
Celia POV I swiftly dodged the slap with ease. My father, Zander, was growing increasingly furious. "Celia, your mother tried so hard to find a suitable man for you, and this is how you present yourself? Dressing like this and openly kissing a man on the street? You've brought shame to our Dark Moon pack! Kneel down and apologize to your mother immediately!" Zander's voice echoed with anger. Sarah, my stepmother, intervened, trying to pacify the situation. "Zander, it's okay, really. Don't blame Celia. It's my fault. I haven't been a good stepmother, and she's young and impulsive..." Sarah wiped away her tears, trying to appear innocent. "It's fine, really." I interjected, my tone cold and composed, "She's not my mother." Sarah was my stepmother scheming to sell me off and strip away my inheritance rights in the Dark Moon pack. I handed a stack of documents to Zander. "Dad, these are the real profiles of the men Sarah wanted me to meet. Take a look. If you find someone you a
Celia POV "Where are you going?" A deep, menacing voice sounded, sending chills down my spine. Even though my back was turned to the man, I recognized the voice instantly. It was Alpha Leon! That was alright. I had prepared for this moment. I turned around to face Leon, sticking out my tongue and stammering, "Who are you? I don't know you!" Leon froze, his grip loosening momentarily. I purposely put bright eye shadow and lipstick on my face, so that he wouldn't recognize me. I continued, "You must be Alpha Leon, right? You've got the wrong person! You should go to the front door to pick up your Luna! She's waiting for you!" Leon narrowed his eyes, his gaze icy. The corner of his thin lips curled into a mocking smile. "You don't know me? Then why do you have my mark on the back of your neck?" I was stunned. When had he marked me? Leon's deep eyes seemed to read my thoughts. He said, "I marked you during the mating ceremony that night." I ground my teeth. "Alpha Leon, le
