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
Chapter 12I heaved a deep breath as Damon lift me down to the horse. I can feel his eyes staring deeply at me and I don’t have the courage to counter his eyes. I looked away and settled my eyes on the village we visited. I saw houses made from rocks and hardwoods.“Good afternoon, Alpha Damon and Luna Athena!” an old man approached us.“It’s nice to see you again, Rolden,” Damon greeted Rolden. Damon seems to know this old man by the way he greets him with pleasantries.“The villagers are now waiting for you Alpha,” I heard Stone say to Damon. Damon nodded and held my wrist to walk. I was shocked at first, but I manage to get myself together. Damn it! I probably look dumb! Why am I always startling whenever he’s making a move on me? This is ridiculous!Everyone bowed and greeted us when we entered their place. This place must be their meeting hall or something. The villagers are all here and they are all warm to us.Damon walks in front and greets everyone. I watched him as he talks
Chapter 13I can't believe what I see now. I could clearly see two wolves fighting in front of me. The black fur wolf attacked the brown fur wolf with so much strength and strangled his neck with its dangerous fangs.I feel like I'm in a nightmare. I can't believe all this is happening now. Two wolves are fighting with each other until death. And I don't know why I can't take the wolf with black fur out of my eyes.And in just an instant I saw how the black wolf killed the wolf that attacked me. I swallowed hard while watching the black wolf with blood stains on his fangs.My face froze when he turned to me. My hands were shaking. I feel like I'm going to run out of breath. The black wolf slowly approached me while I couldn't move from where I was sitting.I couldn't even scream in fear until the black wolf was completely close. His eyes stared at me long and hard. I felt something tickling my stomach. The one I always felt towards Damon. I stared into his eyes even more. And that's h
Chapter 14I just cried while I was inside that dark room. I'm also quiet when Anna comes in to bring my food. I don't even touch my food."Luna...please you have to eat," Anna convinced me. But I don't mind being hungry. I also have no appetite for everything. Why can't I just die? I know Damon can't kill me because even though he's cruel to me, I'm important to him.But...I don't want to die yet. I still want to see Mommy. I still want to find her. I had been locked up and chained in that dark room for two days when Damon came in again.He knelt in front of me, but I didn't have the strength to argue with him anymore."You have to eat," he said. I saw him lift the spoon with the food in it. He brought it closer to my mouth, but I just grabbed it with my hand, so the food spread on the floor. I felt his intense restraint of patience."I can't give you freedom, Athena." He said matter of fact. I sighed. I know he can't give that to me. I looked at him and our eyes met."Then...please.
Chapter 15I quickly looked away from him. At the same time, my heart was beating fast. I don't know what happened, but I felt my heart...pounded so fast with his eyes."Do you want to leave now?" he broke the silence between us. He's talking to me in my mind again. I looked again at Mommy who was about to enter her small house. I guess...this is enough. Now that I know she is safe and well I can breathe easily."Yes..." I agreed with Damon. I turned to him and saw him lower his back so I could reach him. I swallowed hard. I don't know what is happening to me but even his small actions affect me.When I got on his back, Damon's men started running away, also in wolf form. I held tightly to Damon's soft fur as he started to run fast and for the second time, I was amazed again.All my life I have only enjoyed nature from this moment. It's only now that I appreciate all these things. And I realized that God really created a wonderful world. There is no doubt about it."You enjoy this so
