FIVE

RALIA

 Unable to understand anything, I watched as he pulled away from me feeling a little bit of regret. Surprising to me, I longed for the warmness of his embrace, the feel of his strong arms around me and his warm breaths caressing my bare skin.

He probably has charmed me with his handsomeness because I don't understand this thingy feeling in my stomach.

  We finally got to his house and he led me to a room.

"This will be your room from now on"

he said coldly with that lovely deep voice that makes my heart flutter.

"Someone would come to help you get comfortable".

   I watched as he leaves without sparing me another glance.

I looked around the room, it looks quite comfortable. And somehow it doesn't feel like a cage- just like my former room.

I looked through the window, it has a nice view. I could spend all day watching the city from up here.

    I moved and sat on the bed, it feels comfortable. But something's missing, I might never get to see Cheyenne again; I'm really going to miss her.

LESLEY

"Since Ralia has already being corrupted by you, why don't you take her as your mate?"

  Helen said with a frightened look in her eyes.

  "So what am I going to get from all of these?" I asked a little bit amused, feeling like teasing them a little bit.

    "Ralia is a very good girl and I promise she wouldn't cause you any problem" she said.

   "And she is innocent too, she has never known any man all her live. In fact she has lived all her lives in the Chambers" one of her brothers added.

  "I think you have a good bargain" I said wearing a satisfied grin.

   Who would reject such offer? A chance to be able to control the moon goddess, and a beautiful woman as mine.

I paced around in my room feeling satisfied with my latest achievement.

  Now I'm finally going to have control of all the power I've ever dreamed of.

Having Ralia means being able to control the moon goddess and being able to control the moon goddess means ultimate power.... I smile inwardly as I reminiscence on the event few hours ago.

RALIA

   I awoke to the brightness of the morning sun peeping from my window.

I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar setting.

Sitting up, a little bit alarmed. I rubbed my eyes repeatedly.

Then just like a flash. The memories came flooding back in.

 The handsome stranger; he had done things to me, things which set my heart aflutter and then he had brought me to his home

A small smile escaped my lips as I stood up to look through the window.

The sun was starting to rise, creating a beautiful pink cloud on the bright morning sky.

  I was still appreciating the beauty of the morning sun when I heard a soft knock on the door, turning around, the door opened gently and a beautiful lady walked in.

She must be a maid. I knew from the way she was dressed.

  "The Lord asked me to dress you up and bring you down for breakfast" she said tenderly.

I nodded.

   I followed sheepishly as she led me to a luxury washroom in an adjacent corner of the room.
