Chapter 86 - The Execution

CELESTINA VILLARAMA'S POV

It has been a couple of minutes since I've been trying to fight back against the same man who had a strong lust in his eyes. There was no way out for me in this small room. There wasn't even any window, which I could've possibly used.

"Stop moving around, lady. Stay silent and don't resist. I'll make sure that we will finish quickly if you stay put. However, I can't guarantee that you wouldn't ask for a second round after you've had a taste of the first one," the man suddenly started to speak.

I grunted as I furrowed my eyebrows as I continuously attempted to break his bones from his hands, but they kept on growing thicker. I can't tell if it's his muscles or if it's his fat.

"Were you paid by Leo to do this to me?" I asked him, even if I wasn't sure if I'd even get a real response. I was just buying time for myself to think about how to get out of this mess.

He looked sideways, letting me think that the beta didn't have to buy him off to do this. I think that this was the same as their basement cells, wherein Leo just finds amusement in capturing different wolves with distinguished tastes.

'Your beloved mate is on his way,' Celeste uttered.

I slightly parted my lips, and the man thought that I was waiting for him to stick his lips on mine, so I smacked his face when he attempted to kiss me. I ran away from him and continuously jumped from one corner to another.

"Open this door!" A loud thud from the other side of the door was heard as Leo and Lucas kept on urging the man to open it.

The man glanced my way, clicking his tongue. "You're lucky. You won't get away from me the next time that I see you, lady," he said with his tongue sticking out of his mouth, causing his saliva to drip out of his mouth.

The man unlocked the door, and both the alpha and the beta hurriedly came to hold my wrists on each side. I wondered what was going on, but recalling what Celeste told me, I guess that they already found out about Siege's arrival as well.

As much as they wanted to run while holding me, they decided to let one of them carry me, and it was Lucas. "You're heavy," he commented as soon as he placed me behind his back.

I had to wrap my arms around his neck just to ensure my safety and that I wouldn't fall since they started hastily running out of Leo's house. They were heading over to the Silver Moon Pack house, and when I thought that it was abandoned by their members who remained alive, I was wrong.

"The alpha of the Crimson Moon Pack is here, Alpha Siege," one of the pack guards informed Lucas, and he nodded to his guard as a response, thanking him before he went inside the mansion.

Siege was sitting on the couch in the lobby, so it wasn't difficult for us to locate him. The very second that he shifted his gaze toward us, I caught a glimpse of how dark his blue eyes were. It wasn't the same as when he's just slightly irritated by something or someone. The dark hue in his eyes almost made it seem like it was black.

"Answer me straight, Lucas and Leo," Siege coldly muttered, rising from the couch. "Who had the urge to steal my mate from me and my pack?" he asked them.

My eyes widened because of Siege's query, since he still hasn't officially announced that he would take me in his pack once again. Lucas firmly gripped on my arm, as if he read my mind that I was about to let go of him.

"I was only taking back what's mine, Siege. You already banished her from the Crimson Moon Pack. I don't know what you're scheming by trying to make her Kristoffer's mate, but I'm not going to let you do so," Lucas replied, not giving in.

I heard a faint laugh coming from the side of Siege. "I see," he said briefly.

Siege came in front of Leo, and when I turned my head around to see what he did, it was quite late, as I only saw the neck of Leo getting slashed by Lucas' nails. Leo instantly covered his neck with his hands, and it mysteriously illuminated.

"That light..." I whispered to myself.

"Why did you give the pendant to Leonardo?" Siege hissed as he questioned me, without having the need to face me. "You've put us at a great disadvantage, Celestina," he added, causing me to feel guilty, even though I know that I also have no clue how Leo claimed it from me.

I managed to get off of Lucas when I nudged him with my knees from behind. I immediately stood beside Siege, holding the hem of his shirt. "He got it without my notice," I answered.

Siege placed his hand on mine. It's been so long since the last time that I felt that I was safe as long as I was with him.

The same sensation that I always had when we were kids, when he still called me Tina and I called him Snow, was the feeling that I would always be protected and that we would be undefeatable as long as we stuck together.

I saw that Leo's large wound disappeared as soon as he moved his hand away from his neck. "It seems like the rumors were true about the Moon Goddess' power in this pendant," he said, softly laughing as if he had attained divine power.

Siege turned his face to stare at me deeply. I felt the same thing that I felt when Ace arrived at the mansion with his pack warriors, and Celeste wanted to shift with me badly. The one where I thought that someone was forcing his way through my mind.

"Celestina," Siege called me, and I noticed that he didn't even open his mouth.

And that's when I realized that he had already granted us the ability to have our minds linked once again. "Siege, you finally connected with me. Do you have a plan?" I asked through our mind-link as we carefully stepped backwards, preparing for battle.

"I don't have one yet, but if you promise me one thing, then I'll swear that we will get out of here alive, without any trace that we ever encountered them," he replied.

I scrunch my forehead. "What do you want?"

He lent me his hand, and I curiously looked at it without holding it. "Take my hand and be mine, Celestina Villarama. Promise me that you won't continue your marriage with Kris and that you'll always be with me from now on," he said at the same time that a tender smile curled on his lips, causing me to feel hot inside.
