Waited For The Luna
Chapter 43

There were no clocks, windows, or televisions inside the room. I was deprived of knowing the time. I didn’t know the number of days I’ve been here. I tried to link with Luka but it was a skill I haven’t mastered. He tried to teach me back then but we could only hold up greetings with our minds.

I almost lost my sanity in that room, the only thing keeping me up was the thought of Luka and my family.

I was standing on the couch spacing out when suddenly the doorknob unlocked and there entered Ellie who was holding a shoebox and a garment bag.

“Your father summons you. Put this on. I’ll come to pick you up in an hour.” She said. Ellie looked like a servant in this place. She was wearing only regular clothes a far cry from the life she used to have.

Before she could open the door I held her arm.

“Ellie you have to help me.” I begged.

“Why should I? You’re the reason why I was exiled. If you didn’t meet him 4 years ago then he would’ve made me Luna then. Now I can’t go back to the pack let alone see my family.” She sneered.

“If you help me I’ll talk to Luka. He’ll pardon you and you can go back to your family.”

“Flaunting your dominance over Luka?” She rolled her eyes seeming displeased.

“No Ellie! Think about it. They turned you into a slave here, a nobody. If you help me you’ll have your life back. People will respect you as the Beta’s sister.” I tried persuading her but she seemed determined to ruin my life.

“What’s taking you so long slave? You want another round of beating?” A guard barged in the door.

“It was my fault. I threw the stuff she bought and she’s only fixing it, to please my… father.” I covered up for her after hearing how the guards threatened her. She then exited the room and they both left me. Once Ellie comes back in an hour I’ll only have a few minutes to talk to her and so I decided to find a pen and a paper to write on.

Luckily I found an old napkin in the bathroom and a pen on the table. The ink was almost out.

“Show this letter to Luka as proof I’m with you. He will not hurt you or threaten you and will allow you to go back to the pack.” I then signed on the paper and wrote “clean freak” an inside joke that we use when there are only the two of us. This way he’ll know Ellie is saying the truth.

I then got up and got ready. After an hour Ellie entered.

“Ellie, will you help me with my hair.” I intentionally said out loud to buy some time.

“What?” Ellie looked confused.

“Go back to the pack and find your brother and Luka. You don’t deserve this Ellie. Come back to the pack with me. They’ll rescue us. “

“Bellamy! That’s suicide. Even if I want to leave with you they would never let me out of these walls. I’m a slave here I only do as they please.” Ellie answered.

“At least you have access to a cellphone. Call the packhouse or your home. Please, Ellie! I know it’s hard to let go of the past but we need each other now.” The door suddenly opened and I handed a hairbrush to Ellie.

“Thank you” I smiled at her. We were then escorted out and into a study. It seemed to be Ceasars. I waited for a little while until he came.

He walked towards me and scanned my appearance.

“Good! You’ll meet your fiancee tonight. Before we go to the dining hall, I want you to behave yourself and do this for our family.”

I nodded in agreement. He then offered his arm and I took it. The dining hall was empty when we got there.

“Master is here.” A servant announced.

Then walked a tall guy with a pale complexion and red eyes. He looked so mesmerizing and beautiful. But it didn’t distract me from the fact that I need to escape. This man is a monster.

“Don’t be scared. Daddy is here.”

The man then approached us. Staring straight into my soul. As if he was about to devour me.

“She’s beautiful, Ceasar,” Elias said, looking at me and then to the other man.

“I told you. She also has an alpha’s soul in her. She’s perfect Elias.” Ceasar said. I was glancing at both men during their exchange.

“We’ll be married tomorrow night. I’ll have everything prepared for you, my dear.” He announced turning his back and was about to leave.

“Can I at least get to know who you are?” I was scared but I couldn’t be kept in that room for another minute. I need to stay out and wait for an opportunity.

“We’ll have forever to do that.” He casually said.

“I’m gonna kill myself if I spend another minute locked in that room. A stroll with you would be nice.” I calmly said. I also need to find a phone to contact Luka in case Ellie bails on me.

Elias agreed to do so. We went and had dinner before going out for a stroll.

“How old are you?” I asked breaking the silence.

“18 for 153 years.” He said. I knew he’s a vampire.

“Shouldn’t you be disgusted that you’re marrying a werewolf?” I told him.

“I’ll be turning you into a hybrid. You’ll have immense power within you and you’ll be able to take down anyone, even an alpha. There have been a few of our kind. It’s time for us to dominate the food chain and reign over these supernatural beings. For the past 100 years I’ve been trying to do so but every female I took always died. The magic is too much.”

“You’re a hybrid?” I asked. I’ve read about them but there weren’t many resources to read about. Most hybrids die before they could turn into one because the vampire venom wouldn’t be compatible with a werewolf body. A werewolf can kill a vampire with a bite, but since Elias is a hybrid, I have doubts it would work since he has both the werewolf gene and vampire venom in his system.

“Yes. My mother was raped by a vampire before the werewolf gene was activated. She wasn’t mated yet and had alpha b***d so she got a few strengths for it. She was one of the few who was able to give birth to a hybrid. But died shortly after. A hybrid could only be birthed or made. In your case, I’ll be marking and biting you at the same time.”

“What makes you think I won’t die?” I asked.

“I’ve tested it out with almost 39 wives. But all of them died. I’ve inseminated some but the fetus couldn’t survive in their weak bodies. I won’t make the same mistakes the 40th time around. I’ll give you the right amount of venom for 10 days until you’ve transformed into a hybrid successfully and then you’ll give birth to my children. And this time I will succeed!”

“Then why do you need to marry me first?” I asked out of curiosity.

“I’m old fashion, Charlotte. I won’t bed what’s not mine.”

He turned his back and grabbed me by the wrist.

“Out of 40 brides, you’re the most beautiful. Your skin is so soft and your eyes are like the ocean. I wouldn’t want to destroy you before I could taste you.” He then kissed me on my lips and that’s how I got the idea. If I k**s him passionately Luka’s wolf will go on kill mode and be able to track me down in a few hours. So I leaned in and kissed him. He was cold not like Luka’s warm and cozy feeling. It was revolting but I had to do it.

‘Please Luka! Save me.’
