Chapter 2
The next morning, I woke up feeling nauseous. I quickly run towards my bathroom and knelt down in front of the toilet and like a fucking waterfall I vomit. I feel like I poured it all out. It feels so bad. How I hate the aftermath of getting drunk.
I showered myself and changed into jeans and an off-shoulder top. Even with a hangover I still need to attend school. Well, I am a graduating senior, so I have to be extra careful with my attendance.
I was going downstairs when I heard voices from the living area. There’s visitor?
“Just give me more time. Please…you have to understand that it’s hard for me!” I heard mom pleading’s voice. My brows furrowed. What the hell is happening?
“We know Miss Madrigal that’s why he’s giving you time. But you’re already reaching his limit. He already gave you months…no…he already gave you 18 years for you to be with her. Now that she’s of age, she has to face what’s destined for her.” I heard a man’s voice.
“Okay…I understand. But please tell him…give me more days…just days…sir!” mom begged. I cannot take it anymore. I stepped inside the living area, and I saw a bulky man sitting on one of our couches. They both looked at me. Mom’s face was shocked to see me while the man was just staring at me.
“Mom, what’s going on?” I asked mom. Mom immediately shook her head and walked toward me.
“H-He’s just a friend of mine, Athena. Don’t worry,” mom assured me, but my glaring eyes are still on the man. He stood up. “I’m going now,” the man said and left.
“You have to eat your breakfast first before you go to school,” mom pulled me towards the dining. She pulled a chair and pushed me to sit there.
“Mom…who’s he?” I asked. She looked away, obviously avoiding my question.
“He’s just a friend, Athena. Don’t be too curious,” she said and put rice on my plate. I watched her do that while still thinking of what I heard. What are they talking about? It is clearly not about debt or something…it’s about someone.
Maybe mom is keeping secrets from me?
I didn’t ask her anymore and just quietly ate my food. When I finished I quickly kissed her cheek goodbye. School is still the same. Celine was late because of being ‘tired’ last night. I know why she’s tired though.
“So…are you ready for tonight?” Celine asked while we were eating lunch in the cafeteria. My forehead wrinkled at what she said.
“Tonight? Why?” I asked. She rolled her eyes.
“My friend will host a party at the club tonight! We’ll go!” she excitedly said. Seriously? We just party last night and tonight too? Yes. I surely love parties and clubbing but sometimes it’s making me worn out.
“Aren’t you tired?” I asked her to know if she was really serious about the party tonight.
“Yes, I am tired! But my body still can accommodate two dicks!” she laughed. I sneered.
“It’s good to know that you’re still not pregnant, though,” I said shaking my head.
“Well, I am always ready. Look at my wallet,” she said and took out her wallet. And my eyes widened when I saw condoms! A lot of condoms!
“What…the…” I mumbled. She laughed hard.
“See? There’s no way in hell I’d get pregnant,” she proudly said. She’s…gross.
And just like what she wanted I prepared myself for the party later this night. I was choosing a dress from my closet when mom suddenly barge into my room. She was panting.
“Mom! What’s wrong?!” I asked when she pulled my luggage from its place and put my clothes in there. What the hell is she doing?!
“We have to leave now Athena. Pack your things!” she said panicking.
“Why? Why is it so sudden?” I asked still can’t believe that she wants us to leave now. And where are we going, then? We have no other relatives aside from us!
“Just listen to me, Athena! We have to leave! Pack your things now!” she raised her voice. My lips parted.
“Mom…I want to know why. We can’t just leave here without reason—”
“I have reasons Athena and before he could get you, we’ll leave alright?!” she cut me off.
“Who?! No one’s gonna take me, mom! You’re overreacting!” I argued.
“I am not overreacting, and you didn’t know anything, Athena so listen to me!” mom is getting hysterical. She continued packing my clothes. I shook my head.
“I didn’t know anything because you never tell me, mom,” I said gritting my teeth. She looks at me. I looked away and before she could say something I decided to get out of the house and drove the car away from our house.
I know mom is keeping a secret from me. I remember how we always move from one place to another like we were hiding from someone. I cannot count how many times we moved our place. We just settled here because I asked mom and begged her not to leave this place again.
I am tired of moving. I am tired of going back to square one. Socialize again and get friends once again. I am getting tired of this all.
Before, I didn’t know the reason. But when I turned 18 a month ago, that’s when I start to feel that someone is watching me. And mom…never tell me anything.
My mind was in turmoil when I entered the club where Celine’s friend hosted a party. The dance floor is already wild and full. For now, I just wanted to get drunk. I saw Celine with her new guy. I even saw the man massaging her breast.
“Celine!” I called her. Celine looked at me with her tipsy eyes. Don’t tell me she’s drunk already?!
“Oh! There you are, Athena!” she greeted back but she went back to kissing her new guy again and the man is now unbuttoning Celine’s button-down dress. I shook my head and ordered tequila. I drink one-shot until I reached three shots of it.
“Ahh!” I heard Celine moan. Why doesn’t she get a fucking room and fuck each other there? She’s getting wild and I can clearly see how the guy sucking her nipple. My gosh! Her breast is both exposed in the public!
I looked around and saw that there are men watching them. See? Because of what she’s doing, she has a lineup of men who wants to do her good!
“Fuck! Your tongue is so good baby!” Celine moaned louder!
I shook my head and to stop hearing Celine’s lustful moan I decided to just dance. I let myself get drowned in the music. I bit my lower lip and sway my hips. I was sexy dancing when I felt someone on my back. The smell of his perfume is telling me that he’s a guy.
I continued dancing until I felt something on my back. It was hard and poking me. I didn’t know but it sent an electrifying feeling to my system. I heaved a deep breath when his arms snaked around my waist and pulled me more to him. His hardness becomes more evident now that our body is so near to each other.
“Come with me…” his deep and cold voice gave me goosebumps. It was…giving my heart tremendous beats. I’ve kissed men before…felt them before…but why is this man behind me so different?
It takes a lot of kisses before a man turns me on but this man… just…let me feel his hardness and I am…turned on?
Because of my curiosity, I turned around to face him but before I could see his face, a handkerchief covered my nose and mouth only to fall into unending darkness.
Chapter 3“You like it or not…you’ll stay here. And don’t make me lose my patience. I hate…hard-headed women,”I can’t believe I end up here! And I can’t believe that I am literally and truly kidnapped by someone! I can’t help but get scared more when I remember the man who introduced himself as Damon. His words were absolute. Like he really plans to keep me here.Thinking that I’ll be locked up here for the rest of my life makes my inside burn in anger towards that man! Then, I remember the bulky man who talked to mommy.“We know Miss Madrigal that’s why he’s giving you time. But you’re already reaching his limit. He already gave you months…no…he already gave you 18 years for you to be with her. Now that she’s of age, she has to face what’s destined for her.” It was his words. Was he talking about Damon? Does mommy know this man named Damon?Was he the one who’s watching me from afar? The one I always felt watching me? Was he? For what? Why? What is it? I am so confused. I want to he
Chapter 4“I am an Alpha king…and you are mated to me, Athena.”If I am dreaming, I am hoping someone to wake me up from this nightmare. Because damn it! I can’t take this anymore!“Your mother, Solidad Madrigal was mated to my deceased older brother. He was once the king of this kingdom, but he died early because of an accident. After him, I was chosen to lead this kingdom. Solidad ends up mate less and even though it’s against our rules, she married your father. But unfortunately, he died even before you were born. I was there when your mother gave birth to you and that day, I knew you were my mate.”Wait…what? He was there when my mother gave birth to me?! How old is he?!“You’re…lying. How old are you?!” I asked desperately.“I’m 200 years old,” he answered that literally giving me a headache! What the fuck is going on?! He’s a wolf…an alpha king…and I’m his mate…and lastly…he’s 200 years old?“Are you fucking kidding me?!” I screamed and glared at him. His face turned colder. I s
Chapter 5I am not comfortable sleeping with someone in the same bed, especially since I am always getting conscious every time he moves. To stop my worries, I put a pillow between us. I stared at the ceiling. In just a span of time, I get to know Damon’s attitude. He’s sometimes rude, arrogant, and ruthless but he’s not bad.I still don’t get his world. The werewolf thing and alpha king…things. But I know when he said alpha king, I know he’s a big person. He’s important to this kingdom. And that made me think about why he needs his mate. Unfortunately, I am that mate.Deep thoughts lead me to sleep until I woke up the next morning without him next to me. I yawned and stretched my arms. I sat down on the bed and search for a slipper and there I noticed that there are marks on my ankle. It was the chains mark.I sighed heavily. Why did he chain me after all? Well, if he didn’t chain me, I’d probably run for hills and hit him using my own fist.“Good morning, Ma’am! Your clothes are her
Chapter 6I can’t believe I am being treated this way! Damon really made me watch him while eating his food! And when he finished, he just ordered his men to send me back to his room! And now I am starving, and my stomach is grumbling for food!I don’t know what he’s up to! He really wants me to follow his fucking rules? So, I am here to be his slave? Damn it! As soon as possible I need to think of a plan of escape! I won’t last long if this continues!I stopped walking back and forth when I heard noises on the balcony of this room. My brows furrowed and walked closer to the balcony. I opened the glass door and was astounded when I saw the group of people standing in front of the palace. What are they doing?They are lining up like troops while Stone was standing in front of them. He was saying something, but I couldn’t hear it because of our distance, and as soon as Stone lifts his right arm my eyes widened in pure shock when I saw how the men turned into…a fucking wolves!“Oh my God
Chapter 7I am still in a daze while staring into nothingness. It’s already late at night but my eyes are still wide open sitting over the bed while hands locked in a chain. I feel so miserable. Why is this happening to me? I can’t imagine myself getting married at this age! I don’t even know Damon! And…I don’t even love him!What about my dream? My dream about getting married to the man I love? Well, I still haven’t met him, but I want to get married to the man I love and not to the man who’s cold and…rude! And a fucking alpha!He said that we’ll get married tomorrow and even though I want to escape him really bad I can’t sneak out with these chains locked on me. I am so hopeless. Damn it! I wiped the tears that fell on my cheeks. My eyes roam around the whole room. Damon left earlier after locking me here. And knowing him, even though I begged into bended knees he wouldn’t waste his time for me.What am I gonna do? Is this really my fate? To be a luna in this strange kingdom and to
Chapter 8Anna’s words are continuously repeating inside my mind. Without me, Damon will be useless in this kingdom. I didn’t think that luna was one of the essential people in this kingdom. Is that why Damon is forcing me to marry him? Is that why I am in this situation?I sighed heavily as I stared at myself in the mirror. I look like royalty wearing a huge and elegant white gown. The design from its top made the whole gown perfect. It has see-through embroidery and glittered long sleeves and a flowing gown. My hair was curled and down with a flower crown on my head.I’ve never worn clothes like this. I didn’t imagine wearing one. Marriage wasn’t in my thoughts yet here I am wearing a wedding dress.“You look stunning, Ma’am,” Anna complimented as she surveyed my look. I glanced at her.“I want to run away and leave, Anna,” I said truthfully. She didn’t look shocked at what she heard. Maybe she knows that I didn’t want all of it.“I’m sorry but this will be your life from now on,” A
Chapter 9 I can feel my cheeks flush from what happened. I can’t believe he’d reply to that! I would love to?! Damn him! I can imagine kicking his ass than allowing him to sleep with me! This is ridiculous! With deranged thoughts, I quickly took one glass of wine from the waiter passing by and straightly drink it. “Luna! Be careful!” I heard Anna following me. I suddenly feel irritated to hear her call to me. There’s an after party of the wedding that’s why the whole palace was busy and the function hall was full of crowd. But here I am in the far corner of the hall drinking my ass out because of what happened earlier! “I said stop calling me Luna, Anna! I have a name! It’s Athena!” I said with annoyance. Anna gets the glass from my hand and put it back on the table. I glared at her, but she looks at me innocently. “The moment you got married to our Alpha we are all obliged to call you Luna,” she explained. I hissed and shook my head. I crossed my hands over my chest and watch the
Chapter 10I feel uneasy while waiting for Britney to come back. I found myself staring into nothing while my thoughts are clouding up. Maybe I was just imagining things. Why would Damon…call her, right? And…she’s just a professor. There is no way she could touch the alpha.“Luna?” I blinked twice when she suddenly showed up in front of me. I straightened up and stared at her. “Are you done with your call?” I asked. She smiled sweetly. “Yes, Luna. Can we continue?” she beamed. I nodded and let her discuss it once again. I tried to concentrate but my thoughts are always flying somewhere.She wouldn’t be my professor if Damon doesn’t know her, right? It means…Damon may know her. Then, what are they? Don’t tell me…they have a secret relationship or something?I couldn’t help but sneer. I do not like Damon but isn’t it unfair for him to have a mistress while married to me? I gritted my teeth while watching Britney Flurry.The session finished and I didn’t learn a bit. I didn’t even unders
