CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVMy shoulders were continuously shook by someone, who only stopped at the very second that I opened my eyes, only to see that it was Lucas who had his messy hair on."You've been unconscious for literally half a day, Celestina..." Lucas mumbled, helping me to rise from the bed, but later on gently pushed me back to rest my head on the pillows. "If you know that you're not a heavy drinker, then you shouldn't have agreed to what they wanted to do, Celestina. You could've gotten yourself in danger. You're only lucky that Ice was with you back there," he added, letting me assume that he was worried."You're one to speak, Alpha Lucas..." I sighed, shaking my head to tease him a bit. "If you knew that you were going to be this anxious about my situation with Ace, then you shouldn't have allowed him to get me drunk," I said, copying the exact same way that he spoke.Lucas rolled his eyes along with a click of his tongue. "Know your place, Celestina. I simply didn't w
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVFilled with curiosity, I still don't understand how Stella and I were related to one another, knowing that I was just involuntarily taken into this realm by the moon goddess. I was once a human; that fact was the only thing that I'm sure of, and that's also the only one that I'm holding onto now.But the possibility that I was literally born and raised in the Realm of Xenon, where werewolves and other creatures exist, was making me think twice about my whole identity. I could no longer distinguish between reality and what's not. I clearly know that I was on the verge of death when I fell from the edge of that cliff, but the memories after that scenario are all vague in my mind."If we're sisters... then you probably know me since birth, right?" I asked Stella, hoping that she'd just bow her head, but she chose to do the opposite. "You don't know anything about me? Or were you ordered by the alpha not to speak about my past?" I tried to divert the question and
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI was too stunned to speak when I heard the truth directly from Ice. Although there was still a part of me that refused to believe him. "Why are you only telling me this now? You could have done so earlier; it's not like anyone would lose their life if you told me the truth!" I couldn't maintain my composure."Calm down, Celestina. I'm still hesitant to tell you about this until now, but I don't think that Lucas is joking that he'd tell you about it if I don't." Ice held my forearm gently to cool me. "Going back... I'm sure you've heard from your father that I couldn't make it out alive there, right?"I shook my head. "I don't remember anything about that. I already told Ace that I have no memories of my parents and that I was probably raised in this realm without anyone by my side," I answered to cut off his assumption that I still know them.Ice's lips were slightly parted. "The moon goddess removed that much of your memories?" He glanced at Lucas, as if th
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVThe past few days have all felt like a dream to me. There wasn't a single minute wherein I thought that I was really breathing in this realm. Especially when I heard the truth from Ice, and now that the alpha wanted me to go back to the Crimson Moon Pack, where my mate resides and also where his enemy was. I still can't understand what's running through Lucas' mind, but one thing is for sure: he doesn't want to see me get beaten by Stella.I felt the same way when Stella and I were in a duel. Lucas wanted me to unleash all my strength just to take her down, or maybe Stella was really just unbeatable at that point."Are you sure about this, Alpha Lucas?" I asked as I held on to my own wrist. "Won't you regret this later on? I thought you didn't want anyone from your pack to abandon and betray you?" I added.Alpha Lucas nodded his head with a small smile. "Go now before I change my mind and before Stella notices that you're about to go there. I won't accompany
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POV"I'm the one who invited her here, Alpha Siege. Don't be too hard on her; she recently came back here," Amelia told the alpha, who still hadn't removed his fingers from my shoulders even though they were already gushing out blood. "We were in the middle of a discussion too, so if you may please let her go..." She stepped in front of me, and I could see the concern through the depths of her eyes.Amelia attempted to pull Siege's hand away from me, but it was already buried deeply, and once it got pulled out, it would definitely give me a wound that wouldn't heal. Even so, she didn't give up on me. Those little hisses of Siege made me think that Amelia was the only one here that he could never oppose.As if those words he said earlier was only a mere threat by mouth, but he won't even take it seriously."You're lucky that you stumbled upon her. If not, I would've taken your life," Siege muttered before he released me, letting me regenerate at will. "Forget abou
CELESTINA VILLARAMA’S POVWhen I first saw those ocean eyes of the alpha, I knew that he was someone to be feared. He didn’t claim the title of alpha just for fun, and he definitely was the only one deserving of that rank, which even Lucas could not reach.It has been about an hour or two since we began our search. I initially assumed that Siege would be leaving me behind, but he didn’t. Though I wanted to leave on my own and search at my own pace, he just kept on following me around. It was like he wanted to let me feel that he wouldn’t abandon me, just like Kristoffer did to him.“Why are we even finding him in the woods?” I asked him, breaking the silence between us. “Are you sure that he can be found here? What if he traveled to the opposing pack and was just looking for me?” I added to my query.“Kris isn’t an idiot. He’d never go there without my permit, and besides, he has no reason to pay you a visit,” Siege answered briefly, not batting an eye at me. “Focus on your surroundin
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVThe night was quiet. No one among the three of us dared to utter a word while we were walking across the woods. My forearms still feel kind of numb after how Leo held it too firmly, as if he wanted to rip it apart from my body. All this time, I thought that they didn't want to see me again, but their actions were literally contradictory. I was in between them, and their arms kept on brushing onto my skin, which somehow felt awkward."Who was that man you called Leo? He looked quite agitated with the two of you earlier..." I asked to break the silence, unable to contain the curiosity lurking within my soul."It's better for you not to know about him. You won't encounter him ever again... I won't let him step foot in front of you anymore," Master Kristoffer answered with a serious face.The alpha stopped walking as he inserted both of his hands into his pocket. "Kris... stop crossing the line," he coldly said to his brother with a stern gaze. "You don't have the
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVFrom what I've felt with Siege's hands on my body, I knew that there was something wrong with him. The alpha who acted so rudely towards me, suddenly changing his way of approaching... just doesn't seem right. "Did you have a drink or something? Why are you getting clingy out of the blue? You're making me feel awkward," I murmured as I gently tried to remove his hands.I heard the alpha clicking his tongue. "Maybe I am drunk..." He immediately stepped backwards as soon as the beta arrived in front of us. "Go back to the pack house with Kris. I'll be roaming around the area first; I have doubts that Leo really left; he's not the type of person who would willingly obey my words," he said before he disappeared from my sight."What was that all about?" Master Kristoffer questioned me with his eyebrows raised. "Did I just witness my brother showing his love to you?" He faked a laugh before he invited me to walk beside him.I shrugged both of my shoulders. "I don't
