Mag-log inCastellana’s vision blurred, tears pooling in her eyes as her hands trembled. Maybe out of shock, spite, or both.
“I…” Her voice broke, but she shook her head as if trying to wake herself from that nightmare. “I am tired… I will go and rest.”Ivana tightened her grip on Castellana’s arm, but she shook her away and made her way out of the crowd. She almost tumbled but managed to catch herself on time before disappearing from the crowd.“Castel…” Her voice faded as MBeing apart for six straight months was unimaginable even for Alpha Alaric. His curse had been unstable ever since his fight with Castellana so being away from her was too risky. Even his doctor had given him the advice to keep his mate close as her mere presence alone had been proven effective to stabilize his curse. One apology from him for what he did to Calvin could change Castellana's mind from leaving, but Alaric knew that what he did was not wrong. Castellana was his mate. They both claimed each other so he was not wrong to beat the shit out of Calvin for touching what was not his. Watching her walk away without even turning around, Alaric could not do anything but stare at her figure until she was out of sight. It took him several minutes to leave where he stood as his hope of Castellana changing her mind ceased. As he exited the airport, Galland just arrived on time to fetch him for the urgent meeting he arranged."All the elders of the council are present," Galland report
Castellana wore a red dress that night. It highlighted her slim figure and long legs, especially her back with its backless design. It was for the dinner she promised with Calvin to make up with what happened in her apartment a few days prior. She checked herself once more in front of the mirror and smiled, only for it to disappear when she was reminded how she initiated a kiss with Alaric. She was still mad at him at that time so she continued to curse at herself for lacking self-restraint despite her heat. Still… Something bothered her. What she only remembered during her hospital visit was the kiss. What occurred afterwards remained static black in her mind. When she finally came to her senses, she found herself in the apartment with Vivien asking where she had been. “This is not the time for that,” Castellana reminded herself, putting on another smile before leaving the apartment.Upon stepping out of the building, Calvin was already waiting for her. “You look beautiful as alw
Alaric pinched the bridge of his nose before nodding. He walked towards the counter and poured himself a glass of whiskey.“Want some?” he offered, but Reyna declined with a shake of the head. “We will proceed with the wedding on the date you chose. You can also give out the invitations if you think the new design they submitted is to your liking.”A small smile tugged at Reyna’s lips, nodding before taking a seat across from her alpha.“Before anything else… I’d like to ask a question, Alpha Alaric,” she said.The alpha raised his eyebrow.“What is it?”“Are you truly certain that you want to officially wed me?” She looked him straight in the eyes. “It is not like I don’t like the benefits I get from this marriage, but an official union of werewolves cannot be undone just like when one rejects their mate.”Silence followed. Alaric did not dare speak since he felt like Reyna still had something more to say. Hence, he reserved his answers.“This marriage is not a problem for someone li
The very next moment, Ellana was in mid-air and got slammed against the wall that immediately cracked due to the impact. Alaric gripped her neck tight as he wanted to limit her air supply. Anger bubbled up inside him, waiting to burst at any time. If only she did not share a body with Castellana, he could have possibly done something worse.Even when sensing the aura and anger from the alpha, Ellana still grinned. It was as if she already succeeded over something.“Don’t be so… hard on me, a-alpha…” She managed to speak. “We… are in the middle of… something, right?”Alaric hated that idea so he threw her hard across the room. This time, Ellana was prepared. Before she could hit the wall, she flipped over and landed on both feet, remaining unharmed. A laugh came from her.“You should be more careful when handling this body, alpha. I know you do not want to harm the only person capable of stopping your curse,” she said, reminding him that he had no choice but to still treat her properly
The doctor gave Gallahand a stern look.“Alpha Alaric refused to listen to me before. It will be no different if he wakes up sooner or later so as his confidant, convince him. The only most effective cure to the curse is his mate so he better get his priorities straight,” he added in almost gritted teeth.Gallahand looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.“But he is stable now, right?” he asked.“Yes, but who knows if he could make it if his situation worsens? We do not want the worst to happen, Gallahand. Remind the alpha about that.”After that stern warning, the doctor turned his back and left. He was clearly stressed out and it was something Gallahand understood because if something happened to the alpha, the doctor would be partly blamed.He let out a sigh and entered the alpha’s room. He was still unconscious. The monitors next to his bed showed that his heartbeat was no longer slow. However, when he checked his temperature, he still felt as cold as the dead even though his complex
Alaric scoffed. “No,” he flatly refused without a second thought.There was no way he would apologize to that man who was coveting his mate right in front of him. Only then, Castellana slapped his hands away from her.“Then, the deal is off,” she said, turning on her heels to go and check on Calvin.However, even before she could take another step away from him, Alaric grabbed at her wrist and pulled her back.“I will do anything else but that,” he said, his voice lower and it hinted at a tiny bit of desperation.Castellana tried to free herself from his grip, but the alpha held onto her tighter. She could only stare daggers at him.“Then, how about you stop minding my business? Whether or not I stay with Calvin has nothing to do with you. You may have accepted me as your mate, but that is all there is to it. It is clear to me that you do not want affection or love or intimacy, but I want those, alpha.” She finally managed to retrieve her hand from his tight grip. “If you cannot give
The next day, Castellana was not able to ask Alpha Alaric about the appointment he mentioned the other day. By the time she woke up, he was already gone without even telling her where he went. It was not that big of a deal, but Castellana thought that it would have been better if he told her what
As the two settled in the living room, Alpha Alaric cannot help but glare at the woman across from him. Her feet relaxed on top of the glass table, cross legged. A whiskey in her hand clinked as the ice cubes moved to the side when she swirled it a little.“Ask away before I get too anno
The alpha continued to read through the report. According to Mrs. Sullivan, they tried consulting a doctor to help with Castellana's problems with her memory gaps ever since she was 13, however, there had been no improvement at all. Despite being open about that fact, none mentioned how or why su
After saying such bold words, Castellana immediately stormed out of his room. She clenched her fist and hit the air above her, feeling accomplished that despite being intimidated by that scary man, she still managed to get back at him."Next goal is to find the perfect reason to get out
