CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI almost lost my balance as I felt myself slowly drifting away from this realm. I don't know if I should be glad that, finally, I'll be able to return to the original world where I was born... or should I be anxious that I'll end up leaving everyone that I've met in the Realm of Xenon so far?"Hey, Celestina, come back to your senses! You're here with me in this realm now; you can't just be selfish again and disappear without a word," said a man who had a familiar way of speaking. His accent was definitely one of his assets. "You can't leave me here all by myself!" The man yelled at me, and when his voice finally reached my conscience, I realized that I was still together with Frost in the same dungeon."F-Frost..." I softly called for him. It was a little bit late for me to remove my grip on his collar when he was the one who made sure that I wouldn't let go of him at all. Those kinds of gestures really indicate just how terrified Frost was of the possibilit
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI heaved out a loud sigh to show how frustrated I was, with the thought that getting to be Siege's mate might be the one and only answer for Celeste's desire to gain her freedom. I can't shrug off the thought of how it was utterly impossible for me to accomplish.One of them requires the presence of my wolf to believe that I really am his mate. While the other one here wants me to break the curse first, which would definitely be hard as Siege still doesn't accept me."Can't you just take over my entire conscience like everyone else does? Is it necessary for us to function in two different bodies if, in the end, we would still share the same mind?" I asked, in an attempt to search for another way for Celeste to get what she wants."You have too many questions. Don't you know the saying that curiosity can kill?" Celeste shook her head in disappointment. Then she snapped one of her fingers, which made the surroundings change.I was hit with a sense of nostalgia a
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVMost of the time, I still can't figure out if my presence in this realm would actually have any benefit for those who resided here first. After all, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I were to be the reason for their beloved realm's destruction.I sighed as I felt the presence of a man approaching me. I could sense how careful he was because of those little footsteps that he was making as he walked. "What do you want?" I asked without bothering to look behind me.A soft chuckle echoed through the hallway of the pack house. "Nothing in particular, Celestina. Did Frost harm you?" Ice asked as if he knew nothing about what occurred back at the dungeon.I wasn't so sure what my answer would be. It's not like it was Frost's intention to force me to meet with Celeste, so I just shook my head. "Frost had almost the same personality as you did. It's great to see that you get along just fine with your wolf. I can't imagine myself being in the same situation as yo
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVThere wasn't any kind of celebration, as I assumed. We were instructed by the alpha to directly move on with the training for this day and head over to his office after we're done. Come to think of it, the way that he approached me was totally different compared to the first time. It's like he has already forgotten the rage that he felt every single time that he saw my resemblance to Sarina. Or maybe he's just forcing himself to, because I wasn't even related to the moon goddess."Which would you prefer in actual combat, Celestina?" Ice broke the silence between us, which ruined the thoughts that were running through my mind. "There are a lot of options that you can choose from; there's no need to rush with your decision. You can still give each one of those a try to test if the item you've chosen really fits and suits you," he added.There are a variety of bows and arrows on top of a white cloth. Guns that even those who haven't gone to a shooting class can
SIEGE WONG'S POVThe memories from almost a decade ago still haunt me, just as if they only happened yesterday. I can still remember every little bit of its details, starting from how my life began to fall and crumble and until it finally broke into miserable fragments that can no longer be regenerated.If only wounds of the past could be healed quickly, just like my injuries do... Then, at least for a while, living in this filthy world wouldn't be that disappointing."Bro, are you alright?" Kris went into my office without knocking. He's always been like that, since day one. He has this weird habit of invading someone else's privacy, though he only does it with those he's close with. "You've been spacing out lately, ever since the last time that you saw her. Are you still hung up with what happened in the past?" he asked. Both of his eyebrows were raised due to the state of concern.I didn't know what answer I would give this brother of mine. Because even if I attempted to lie, he'd b
SIEGE WONG'S POVThis unusual sensation that I'm getting inside my body is evolving. It was a burning feeling that wouldn't be solved by simply drinking any sort of beverage. I'm thirsty at the touch of Tina; I want to hold her, and I want to hear her sweet voice calling my name.I want to keep her as my only possession, so she wouldn't be able to escape my grasp.And that would only be possible if I accepted the offer of this moon goddess, wherein I could be alone with Tina. She wouldn't bother being with someone else, as only the two of us would have the memories of our times spent here in this disastrous, unjust world."So... Exactly where can we locate this Tina that you speak of?" she asked, as if she had the intention to go to her at this moment and bring the two of us to her world.I shrugged my shoulders, even though it was kind of difficult to do as she was still holding me captive. "I don't really know. She's been separated from me for days since she told me that she was bein
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVIce has been the only one who has stayed by my side as the two of us were watching how the scythe was being formed to make it seem like a real duplicate of the one that Stella had. It has been about two hours now, and the person in charge told us that he'd be done with it soon."Are you sure that you're going to be battling against Stella?" Ice asked, and I only nodded my head once in response. "She may be an omega of our pack, but you must not underestimate her capabilities. She's trained herself since she was a young pup, and that scythe of hers almost made it seem like it's her sibling. She doesn't go to any place without it," he added to serve as a warning for me to reconsider my decision. "It's not too late for you to back down, Celestina.""Sorry, but my decision is already final. I don't want the alpha to think that I'm so weak to actually run away from a fight that wouldn't even put my life at risk. We're only going to have a friendly duel, which would
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVAn open field was our venue. There was a huge crowd that surrounded Stella and me as we both stood on opposite sides, directly in the center of the field. The alpha and delta headed over to a room where they could watch us without anyone distracting them."I didn't know that this day would come this quickly. Are you ready to get smashed by the ultimate scythe user?" Stella provoked me while getting into position. She held her weapon with both of her hands, one near the edge and the other close to the sharp one.I breathed heavily in and out to make sure that I wasn't going to be swayed by her provocations. It wouldn't do me any good if I listened to her instead of showcasing my own capabilities.A floating timer appeared out of nowhere at the same moment that a woman showed herself above the stage."The match will commence exactly after a minute. There would be no signals coming from me; it's up to the both of you which one among you will start the battle. The
