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 hear an answer but how could I find the answer when I am locked up in here with this fucking chains?!
I no longer realized the passage of time until the door of this room opened again. The whole room lit up again and there I saw a man. My eyes widened when I saw his face. He was the bulky man who went to our house to talk to my mother!
“I-I…know you!” I said dazzled and at the same time confused. He put a tray in front of me. It was a tray of food. I gritted my teeth.
“Tell me…who are you? Why am I here? What do you need from me?” I asked with gritted teeth. If I can just escape this fucking chain, I would probably hit them one by one! Damn them! How could they do this to me?!
“I’m not supposed to talk to you, Miss Madrigal,” he said.
“Then, call your master! It’s Damon, right?! Let me talk to him!” I screamed even though my throat is hurting.
“He’s busy. He’ll visit you later,” he said like a fucking robot. I chuckled without humor. I can’t believe that they all look normal, act normal, and talk normally while I am here scared and nervous because of what they are doing to me!
“Then…please…tell me…why are you in our house earlier this morning? What did you talk about with my mom?” I asked almost pleading. I want an answer at least for that question. I don’t like this feeling. I don’t like being confused. I don’t understand anything. And it’s hurting me.
“I was there to warn her,” he said shortly.
“About what?!” I cannot help but raise my voice because of too much anticipation.
“I was warning her that her days with you are over. It is your fate, Miss Madrigal. Alpha Damon was long been waiting for you since the day you were born. And your mother…take you away from him without his consent.”
“W-What?” I cannot believe it! He’s crazy! My mother…took me away from him? It’s natural! I am my mother’s daughter and Damon doesn’t own me! Damn it!
“Believe it or not. It was the other way around. You were kidnapped. Alpha Damon is just taking you back where you are supposed to be,” he said before he left the room. I was staring into nothing the whole time since the man left.
My own mother kidnapped me? Is this a joke or something? Or am I crazy? What the hell? My mother can do anything because I am her daughter! Anger filled me. Does that mean…Damon…that fucking Damon think that I am his property the moment I was born, and my mom was a culprit for taking me away from him?
Is he stupid?
Argh! This is fucking burning my mind! My head is hurting from all the thinking I did. I just found myself drowning in a deep sleep. I just woke up with a feeling that someone is watching me. I immediately opened my eyes and I saw a cold pair of brown eyes. I gritted my teeth as our eyes met. I hate him for doing this to me!
I hate him!
“Did you have a good sleep?” he asked in a straight tone. I clenched my jaw. And he has the audacity to ask that? Is he fucking crazy? If I am not just chained into this fucking room, I’d probably run to him and hit him until he dies!
“Are you a psycho? Who with a clear mind would ask such a question? Of course, it’s not fucking comfortable!” I squeal. I saw how his forehead wrinkled. It irritates me just looking at him comfortably sitting on a chair in front of me. How could he sit there comfortably while I am chained in front of him? He’s so ruthless!
“You did not touch your food,” he looked at the food I hadn’t even eaten.
“I’d rather die starving than be chained here!” I scowled. My heart skipped a beat when he stood up and went to me. He squatted in front of me and took the spoon.
“You have to eat,” he said in his authoritative tone, but I did not back down.
“I said I won’t eat!” I said stubbornly. I saw him clench his jaw. I feel like I made him push his buttons.
“Eat,” he said in a commanding tone while lifting the spoon, urging me to eat. I gritted my teeth. Why is he doing this? What does he want from me? Why is he acting like I am his property? Why is he taking me away from my mom?
“Why am I here? Why did you kidnap me? What do you want from me? And who are you, Damon?” I looked at him with determination in my eyes. “I’ll eat my food if you answer my questions,” I bravely said.
He sighed heavily and put down the spoon. He lifted his eyes up on me. My heart reacted when his brown eyes stared at me. I feel like something in me ignited. I am feeling something on my body whenever he’s staring at me like this. What’s this feeling? I’ve never felt this to anyone.
“Fine. I’ll tell you. But after this, you’ll stop being stubborn Athena. If you did…I’ll never think twice to punish you,” his tone was stone cold. He stayed squatting in front of me while his eyes are staring at my face. I don’t know what’s this heat rushing down my system. What is he doing to me?
“You’re here in the Kingdom of Agama and I rule this place. I am Alpha Damon Timothy Scot,” he started. My lips parted. He just started but my mind is starting to blow up. Alpha? And kingdom?
“This is not a human kingdom like you think. I am a werewolf. Everyone here is werewolves. And I am their Alpha King,” he touched my chin, and I swallowed hard because of the heat it sent me. What the hell is he talking about? Alpha king? Werewolves? Is he joking? Playing tricks?
There’s no way in hell humans that can turn to wolves are true!?
“I am an Alpha king…and you are mated to me, Athena.”
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
Chapter 11I couldn’t sleep that night particularly since Damon was just behind me. The only thing between us was the pillow I put on. The lights are all out, but my mind was in chaos. He said that our mate bond was strong. Does that mean it hinders him to like someone else other than me?The morning came and as usual, Damon woke up early. I didn’t see him when I woke up. Anna helps me with my daily routine. After all that I headed towards the dining wearing a long sleeve dress. I don’t know why but my heart immediately thump so fast when I saw Damon quietly sipping his coffee on his usual seat.He senses me coming so our eyes met but I look away. I can’t look straight at him. I silently sat down beside him. The servants quickly served our food. I can’t help but glance a bit at Damon and damn it he almost caught me glancing at him!Get yourself together, Athena!“How’s your sleep?” I was stunned when he asked me that. I am sure that the servants, Anna and Stone are also shocked by wha
