CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVThere must have been some kind of misunderstanding. There’s no way that I’d actually be under divine punishment by the beta of the Crimson Moon Pack himself. If there wasn’t, then in that case, was the proclamation of divine punishment required to be said before the sunrise?"Master Kristoffer!" I yelled out loud as I covered myself with the blanket of my bed. "Damn this place!""What seems to be the trouble, Lady Villarama?" one of the maids asked me.I quickly shook my head, even though she couldn’t see me at all. I didn’t even think that there was someone inside my room since I couldn’t sense anyone other than myself. "Excuse me…" I called the maid, and then she instantly moved over in my direction and patiently waited for what I wanted to say. "Wouldn’t Master Siege be frustrated to see that I am still inside the pack house?"She held the temple of her head, hesitating what answer she would give me. "Lady Villarama, I’m afraid that I can’t give a proper re
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI lost count of just how long it has been since the last time that I was thrown out of the pack house, which I believed would completely accept me despite the loss of my wolf. It’s really devastating how I can hear the voice of Celeste, my wolf, but am still unable to transform myself into its form. There must be some kind of missing formula.Before Kristoffer and I parted ways, he gave me a warning that I shouldn’t cross paths with the alpha, even though we’re not in his territories. The scene from the first time that I stumbled upon Siege flashed through my mind as I held tightly on the necklace that I wore."Does Goddess Sarina have a connection with the alpha of the Crimson Moon Pack?" I murmured to myself, knowing that no one other than either one of them would be able to give me an answer. "If we’re really mates, then I guess that I’d soon figure out their relationship."My brain received a static shock at some point as I tried to recall the image of my
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVFor the first time in forever, I felt the urge that I should take Ice's challenge seriously, believing that this would decide what my fate or destiny would be in the hands and supervision of the Silver Moon Pack's Delta. I remained standing on the same spot even though I knew that there was a possibility that he might be the one on the offensive, despite sounding like he's the one on defense mode.Focus.Focus would be my number one priority right now. I let my senses roam free and made my system facilitate how I should avoid all of his incoming attacks."Not bad," he whispered directly to my ear, sending vibrations and a buzzy sound inside."You're quite easy to read," I commented. "I've already gotten used to your movements, and I've noticed each pattern that you plan to commence," I proudly uttered.Thanks to Ice, I was able to realize that I don't have the capability to see the aura of anyone as long as I'm succumbing to the darkness. It also doesn't matte
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVNothing could have been more rewarding than a good night’s rest after an exhausting day. There wasn’t anyone else inside the room where Ice appointed me, unlike back at the Crimson Moon’s pack house, where there would always be some maids who would be standing by the door and waiting for the time that I opened my eyes and woke up. There are a considerable number of differences between the two packs, and it might also be one of the main reasons why they consider themselves rivals.The thought of being mortal enemies flashed through my mind. I wonder if the alpha here would actually stand a chance against the alpha who was supposedly my mate. If the two of them had a duel against one another, then I guess that the two packs would be forced to merge, and the one who survived the duel would be the one to lead all of us."Why’d you bring a commoner inside our pack house, Ice? Care to explain yourself before I cut one of your legs?" a terrifying voice of a man asked
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVIce’s eyes were filled with rage, which I knew for sure I could not control. The red aura of his that I assumed was because of his affection for me was now mixed up with how vexed he was with what I said. "I-Ice? What’s the matter?" I asked as carefully as I could. I didn’t even notice that my feet were unconsciously walking backwards, as if my wolf was the one who was already telling me that I should head out of this place and run as far as I could, just to stay away from his range."Was there anyone else other than me who promised to protect you, no matter what the cost would be?" Ice repeated the same sense of his query from earlier. "I’ll be counting from one to three, Celestina Villarama. If you would not be able to give me a response within the said time frame, then I’m sorry—""It’s Kristoffer... The Crimson Moon Pack’s Beta, Kristoffer Wong!" I answered in a state of panic.I observed how Ice’s breathing pattern returned to normal when I mentioned my p
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVThe training between me and Ice has been going smoothly for over a week now. I have also been formally introduced to their alpha, Lucas, who is still kind of not fond of my presence at all. They all made me feel like I wasn’t welcomed to be in this pack, and up until now, it was only the Delta who accepted me wholly. And because of the treatment, which I know I ultimately don’t deserve, I’ve had the first-hand assumption that I’d sooner or later be thrown out of their pack house, just like what I experienced before.Though I should strive hard in order to stop that from happening again and let it not be a premonition."What are you spacing out for, Celestina?" Ice asked while he was gripping my neck.Yes, he’s literally strangling me to death as of this moment, and he told me that it was an essential exercise that was necessary for me to learn how to control my breathing pattern and technique when I’m in a pinch."I couldn’t get over how the alpha’s gaze upon
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVI have exactly no idea where I gained such courage to actually talk back to an alpha, knowing that I reacted the same way that I did to Siege. Maybe I’m just really fed up with all of their similar behaviors towards the necklace that I wore.I would’ve understood if they hated the moon goddess based on their own share of loathsome experiences, but they could have spared me. I have no connection to or relevance to their issues, especially since I’m basically a newcomer with her memories lost."Seriously though, what happened, Celestina? You haven’t told me anything about the occurrences when Lucas summoned you. I’m getting worried now that you haven’t spoken at least a single word." Ice has been continuously speaking.I’ve heard everything that he said, but I had absolutely no energy to give him an answer. He’s right, though—my mind has been kept blank ever since the time that I returned from the alpha’s office.After the way that I confronted their alpha, I fe
CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POVA minute hasn’t even passed by, but the discomfort that I’ve been having has made me think that it’s past an hour already. My eyes were beginning to blur everything in my sight, and the same was true for my hearing. I couldn’t even get a proper glimpse of Ice’s aura any longer when, all of a sudden, I saw the hands of a different person.It was Siege’s palms.I couldn’t completely understand how I could see if I was in his position, but one thing is for sure: he was completely losing it; he was out of control. "Are you sure that you’re going to be alright, Siege?" asked Kristoffer, who was presumably behind Siege.Siege hissed as a pre-response. "That’s the last thing that I wanted to hear from you, Kris."I felt myself absolutely losing seventy-five percent of my consciousness as Siege injured himself with his enlarged nails that were turned into the claws of a beast."Stop that, bro! You’re already going through so much pain now; you don’t have to hurt your
