CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVThe cold breeze that brushed onto my skin made me come to realizations about what I did. I was literally above Beta Kristoffer, and there was no other explanation for our position than the fact that I had the intention to flirt and seduce him. Although it seems to me like he also wanted to do the same since he wasn't moving away from me and wasn't showing any sign of resistance."Your mate is my brother, Celeste. Stop fooling around with me; I can't risk having Siege mad at me. It might be the reason why he would want to initiate a war between us," Beta Kristoffer said without stuttering. It's admirable how he could remain calm in this kind of situation where there's a high possibility that the alpha would soon come barging in his room.However, my expectations were ruined the moment that a woman came into the beta's room instead of the alpha. "W-what are you doing to the beta, Celestina?" Amelia hastily walked near the bed, holding on to my right forearm to
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVMy whole body became quite numb, and I could barely hear any sound that came from the people I saw passing here and there. Not until a man who was supposed to be out of my league came to pick me up from the ground with his bare hands, carrying me through his arms as he dropped me on a long sofa and then sat on the opposite edge."With that fragile expression in your eyes, I can tell that Celeste finally let you go," Siege said as he gave me a cup of tea that was in the center of the table in front of us. "Do you remember what happened? Do you share memories with Celeste, or are you completely unaware of your surroundings when she's the one in control of your entire conscience?" he asked consecutively, making it seem like he was dying to know the answers.I nodded my head twice. "I can see and hear everything even if she's the one taking over. Isn't it the same for you and everyone else here?" I asked this time, and the alpha shook his head as a response. "I t
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI had no choice but to return to the pack house when the alpha insisted that I shouldn't return to the Silver Moon Pack since they don't have a great connection with each other anymore, unlike before. He still considers Lucas one of his foes, even though they could've just solved all of their problems with a mere proper discussion, without having the thought of arguing with one another, and that someone should remain on top."What am I supposed to do here, Siege? I don't have any obligation to stay here with you, and most importantly, I don't have any pact with you as the alpha here," I asked with a frown.We were currently inside his office, and it was the first time that I saw him wearing eyeglasses. It didn't suit him before, but now that he has grown to be such a mature man, I think that he would look fine no matter what his appearance was.Alpha Siege didn't bother to fix his hair, which was blocking his eyesight. "If that's your problem, then we can jus
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVAmelia already left me on my own, and even though I caught up to her as she was about to take her exit, she managed to lock the door from the other side with the lever that she used earlier. So I went back down with my shoulders feeling heavy.I stared at my hands, which had the keys to the weapons that I could use. A single shot from those guns would easily take them down, but I can't be overly confident. Knowing Siege, he wouldn't give me such an easy task. Shooting down those rogues would definitely not be the end of their lives, and I might just put myself at risk of death if I attempt to do it."Amelia could've at least told me what to do or where to shoot those wolves so I could precisely hit them without wasting bullets," I mumbled to myself, thinking that no one would reply."You're not going to be stuck there for days if I order Amelia to give you a hint, Celestina," Siege said to me through the speakers that were on the ceiling. "And another thing,
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI've been holding my breath in for a while now since I was trying to suppress the pain that I got from the alpha. Siege was burying his nail in my arm, which caused my blood to gush out of it. He kept on pulling my arm in the direction of the rogues' cell, making them cause an uproar."S-stop that, Siege! T-they're worse than vampires when it comes to reacting to blood," I anxiously said as I kept on attempting to retrieve my arm from his grasp, only to receive constant failure. "I-I'll do it, okay? Just let go of me, then I'll do the training or whatever it is that you want," I convinced him.Siege's fingers began to get lighter, so I took that opportunity to pull my arm away. "You could've just agreed to it earlier. I wouldn't have hurt you if you did." He rolled his eyes as if it wasn't a big deal for him to give me a wound, since he knows that I can heal myself.My heart thumped in nervousness that I might end up embarrassing myself right in front of the
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVIn every breath that I took, I kept on smashing my scythe in front of me as I attempted to slash the rogue's head to cut it off of its body. I kept on moving back; I even had to jump on the wall, as if my feet were sticky enough for me to stay there. I'm just lucky that only one of them caught up to me. Or so I thought.At the very moment that I looked back to where the cage was and where the rest of them were staying, I saw none of them. There were no traces left of them other than the cage's steel bars. Because of how much I panicked thinking about the others who were missing, I stumbled on the ground when the rogue in front of me managed to land its claws on me."Focus, Celestina. You can't win if your mind is too troubled. You should learn how to strike back and avoid even if you're thinking about something else. That would be the only way for you to survive," Siege said from behind.The alpha never lost track of me, no matter how far I jumped. He was alw
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVAs I declared that I would be the one victorious in the end, I sat on the bodies of the rogues that I slaughtered. Their heads were laying beside the shelves and were lined up to make sure that I really did defeat five of them in an hour. I still can't believe that I did it, but that's really the result."So, how does it feel to kill wolves, Celestina? Doesn't it drive you insane? Isn't there an adrenaline rush surging in your veins that urges you to find more wolves to kill?" Siege consecutively questioned me as if he were seeing me as one of the murderers of the realm.I rolled my eyes, releasing the scythe from my hands, causing it to roll down the body of the rogue until it reached the ground. "All I know is that I've grown stronger. Not as strong as the beta or you yet, but at least I did improve a bit," I said to compliment myself.Heaving out a short sight of relief, I felt somehow proud of myself. All the doubts that I had since the beginning of this
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVMy hand was wrapped around the hot palm of Siege as he brought me closer to the fountain's distance. There were a lot of eyes set on us, but the alpha just informed me not to give them much attention. We were only a few inches apart from the fountain now, and after a minute, we finally decided to place our palms on its base.Just like the first time that I saw the same type of fountain back in the Silver Moon Pack, the aura that emitted from the two of us felt like it had been altered. I thought that it was only Ice who wanted to escape, but it turns out that the alpha and I also share the same intention.All of us wanted to escape from this realm that the moon goddess forced upon us."Don't think about anything else other than the portal, Celestina," Siege warned. "If the fountain detects that you're thinking about something or someone else, it will push you away," he added.I simply nodded my head at the same time that I shut my eyes, focusing on the image
