Moonlight Whispers: The Luna's Love

I sat on the wet forest floor gazing at the moon through the trees, hardly noticing the cold night. I was even tired of crying and my eyes hurt like a thousand needles had pierced them.My dress which was now filthy and wrinkled held on to me like a memento of the cancelled ceremony. I swallowed hard. If someone had told me that the love of my life would toss me aside like yesterday's trash, I wouldn't have believed it at all.The embarrassment was still vivid and my heart felt like it had been broken into a million fragments and my chest tightened again and again, making it difficult for me to breathe. Long after everyone had gone back to their packhouse, I had remained out here. Hiding and praying that no one finds me here, if not they had taken pictures, posted it on social media and made me beg for death.Ever since,my parents died at twelve years old. The only love I got from the world was from Liam but now thinking about it I felt if all it was a lie.I dreaded going home, I w

Situated deep within the forest where the sun hardly made it through the thickets was my grandmother's Packhouse , it was so small but I remembered it was so cozy and all that.The scent was a combination of cedarwood and the little traces of my mom's favorite lavender oil, so she does visit here frequently.The place still felt like her even though no one had lived here for years As I rubbed my fingers across the old and almost cracked wooden table, I was transported back to my early years. I had come here during the holidays when I was very little before my parents had died.Here she taught me how to bake bread, braid my hair and maintain my self-confidence in the face of anger or trouble .But I was not prepared for the rejection I had experienced by any of those lessons. It had come suddenly and left me wounded."This is it." I said, my voice shaking as tears were threatening to spill out." I'll start over here. "It felt like a hollow promise that I might not be able to fulfil

SERENA'S POV I could feel my heart pounding in my chest and my eyes rolling in my head and I felt like fainting. As the sharp and persistent knock on the door echoed throughout the room,.i.knew I was doomed.My gaze locked with his. He was standing there, a stranger yet his gaze felt steady as if he was somehow anchoring me to keeping me from slipping into panic. He paused and then turned to me completely as if he was considering a choice. He twitched his fingers at his side and I saw that he was fighting with something.Whatever he was going to do it wasn't an easy task for him.“ Don't worry.” he said but I wasn't sure if he actually believed it.” I'll keep you safe.” I hardly knew this man but his words made me feel a little lighter somehow. EvenElliot my mate had never made me feel this safe with him.Protect me? I felt an odd warmth come over me but it was soon followed by a nagging fear that stopped me from breathing. My chest tightened as I jumped when the knock came again

Even though there was a chill in the night that pricked my skin I was didn't notice it at all.I was so terrified.I could see them as I looked down the window. They were looking for me, everyone was looking for me.All I had time to do was breathe and have faith in Derrick. But no matter how hard I try to tell myself that it's fine and I shouldn't be scared, my heart pounded and I wonder what would happen to my child and I if we were eventually caught.Everyone was at risk from my very existence.“ I hate this.” I muttered to myself,my voice trembling and I wanted to cry. Despite all of this craziness,.Derrick turned to face me his dark eyes maintaining their signature expression. He was calm which I currently envied. “ Don't say that.” He said. “ We would be leaving tonight because theyll be searching all over for you.”I swallowed hard and said .”I know.” I sniffed and gave a small nod.I hated myself that very moment .Derrick threw some clothes to me.The clothing which was p

The sun rays pushed through the sun and I blinked rapidly trying to understand what was going on and where I was.The last thing I remembered was I was standing with Derrick and the servant woman and the fight.Somehow, something felt different now, it was as if I had been transported into a new world.I sat up slowly. The room was so magnificent, worthy of a Queen.I was lying on a massive bed with heavy drapes of dark velvet which sat in the center of much beauty.Everything seemed to shimmer in an almost unnatural way, including the sleek contemporary furniture. I wondered again where I was as I brushed my hand over the plush silks as I reached out to balance myself on the bed's edge. It was too lovely. Too tidy. I felt confused.Where was Derrick ?My mind races as it worked to piece together what had happened . My last memory was of Derrick calling my name. The world had been a blur of panic growls and footsteps. Then. pain. As I fell I could hear Derrick calling my name and
