“Damon…” I said before the surroundings went dark.
I witnessed an unexpected event. I can’t believe that the world I live in today is not random. I didn’t think it would be that dangerous and I almost got killed because I wanted to run away.
I woke up with the feeling of eyes watching me. I slowly got up and my face got cold when I saw Damon sitting in front of me on his chair with his eyes fixed on me.
“How are you feeling?” he asked in a cold tone. I looked away. I remember a black fur wolf jumping into the scene to protect me. And eventually, I recognized it as Damon. I didn’t think he was that big when he was a wolf. He was almost double the size of the rogue he had fought earlier. And he has bright and soft-looking black fur. I couldn’t understand why something inside of me wanted to touch his wolf form.
“F-Fine…” I answered nervously. I heard him stand up. My mind and heart in my chest only became more chaotic.
“Do you know…what happened to you?” there was darkness in his tone. I gritted my teeth.
“I did that because I wanna find my mother, Damon!” I reasoned. Because I can’t blame myself for all my mistakes. My pride can’t take it. I felt him stop and approach the bed where I was sitting. I felt him sit down on the bed and his eyes lingered on me.
“At the expense of your life?” he grittily asked. I bit my lower lip and looked down. My fist clenched on the blanket I am holding.
“A rogue almost ate you, Athena and it was because of your stupidity!” I can feel his intense anger toward me. I closed my eyes tightly because I knew it was a mistake but didn’t he think that it might all be his fault?
“If you just let me have my freedom it won’t happen, Damon!” I snort at him. My tears flowed. “This is not the life I want! I want my mother! I want my old life back! I don’t want to be a queen! And I don’t want to be your Luna! It’s just as easy as that! Why can’t you let me?!” full of resentment I said.
He stood up and turned his back on me. I took a deep breath because I had enough of too much of my strong emotions.
“This is your life now. Like it or not…you’ll stay here,” he said coldly before leaving me alone in that room. I can’t stop crying and sobbing alone. I never thought it would be this painful to be denied what you want. I never thought I would hate Damon more even though he saved me from that rogue.
That’s why even though I was weak and also carrying strong emotions and anger for Damon, I tried to run away again. This time I’ll make sure I can get through successfully but just in the middle of the grand staircase, I saw Damon’s figure looking at me darkly.
I don’t know if it’s because of fear but I can feel how fast and hard my heart is beating.
“Where are you going again, Athena?” he asked clenching his jaw, a sign that he’s pissed.
“I want to leave-” I hadn’t finished what I was going to say but I was surprised by what he suddenly did. He carried me on his shoulder like a sack of rice!
“Put me down, Damon!” I shouted and slapped his back where my face was now facing. But he didn’t listen. He seemed deaf to my complaints and screams. I also saw his servants watching us but not one of them blocked Damon’s path!
I was nervous when I saw us enter a room. This is the room where…he chained me after he kidnapped me!
“What are you doing, Damon?!” I screamed at him. But he never listens.
He throws me inside the dark room. I could only feel hatred and fear. “Get me out of here, Damon!” I screamed. He walked close to me and lifted my chin to meet his cold brown eyes.
“No, you won’t, Athena.” He said darkly and with his strength, I felt the cold chains locking my ankle. I tried to kick him and squirm out of his arms. “No! Please…let me go-” I gasped when he tightly gripped my jaw. Tears stream down my eyes.
“You are…chained to me, Athena. The day you were born is the day when your life became mine…only mine, Athena.”
I couldn’t believe what he said. No! No! It can’t be happening!
“I once told you that I’ll chain you every rule you break. And this is one of them…” he whispered. I tried to get away, but I couldn’t because he had the key to the chain! I glared at him, but he doesn’t look affected. Instead, he just looked at me coldly.
“You’ll stay chained here until you understand that your life is destined for this world,” he finally said before leaving me there.
I 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…let me see my mother,” I begged. I saw him close his eyes tightly. It was as if he was holding back something. Finally, he sighed and nodded.
