Chapter 4: His Luna

Kimberly POV

He, Ashman, captured us and brought us back to his camp.

We were brought in as slaves, and locked up in his dirty cranky jail like prisoners.

I wondered why everything here look odd, no electricity, no phones, aside for cars. All I see were candles and lanterns for light, the rest look historical.

It was in the jail I found out that some hideous werewolves leaders love to reside in the outskirt of cities, so as not to follow the insane laws of human beings.

"Lady Kim, are you okay?" my knees were folded up to my chest with my face resting on it, I shivered in cold.

The other of my werewolf clans have been killed and the remaining survivors are Galaxy, Dave, Lucille and little Drake. For a minute, I stared at them in pity. I cursed myself for being a powerless leader, I brought them into this hopeless state. Yet, they still see me as their leader.

"I can not fail them" I whispered softly as tear rolled down to my cheek.

Lucille curled herself on the cold ground that had only dried leaves, while the others sit up deep in thought. 

My mind swayed back to the devious devilishly man, my nemesis both in my past life and now. "Ashman".

Why is he here again, are we truly enemies for life?

No wonder I detest him right from the onset. He remains my nemesis till death do us part.

"I want him?" I muttered slowly to myself with my finger sealing my lips, I remembered not saying these word. Something inside of me said these words as soon as I saw Ashman.

"Who does it want him? Or... maybe it wants him dead?", this is not a pretold story neither was it predicted.

 I shook my head in disbelieve as a prison guard walk up to the iron gate, he quietly observed all of us.

"Who among you is Kimberly?" the guard's voice pervade anger, at that point I started shaking frantically.

"What do you want?" Galaxy queried and the guard smirked, he already got what he was searching for because I sold myself or rather my fear sold me.

"Take her out" he pointed at me and the other guards unlocked the prison and dragged me out forcefully, my struggle was in vain.

"Lady Kim!",

"Lady Kim", my remaining clans cried out in anguish as I allowed myself be dragged out of the prison.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" I questioned them with my raised furrowed eyebrows and struggle to out of them, the ladies who were dressed on maid uniforms stripped me without consideration.

"You better behave yourself" one of the ladies snapped me out and I suddenly fall silent.

"What are you doing to me? What is going on?" I cried out with a loud voice filled with disdain.

I curse this women doing this to their fellow gender.

"I said shut up!", they stripped me completely naked and pushed me into the bathtub that is covered with petal of roses. The water was warm and scented like osmanthus honey.

I shook off the intoxicating scent off and swim to the edge.

"What is going on?" I questioned anxiously with my eyes rolling at each of them.

They stared at me - dumb making me to likely think that they are deaf.

After the warm bath which enabled me to find some minute of peace, they walk me into a room. A radiant glimmering room with shinning lights, candles and beautiful golden curtains. I sit on the chair staring at the mirror blankly, since the bath none of the maids have said any word to me and I found their actions weird.

"This.." I attempted to turn around but one of the maid twisted my face back to the mirror, I cleared my throat nervously.

"I truly don't know what all these is all about" I spat in disgust.

Soon, another maid started applying make up on my face, some styled my hair into set of standing buns and few minutes later, I began to admire my beautiful face in the mirror.

By this time, they dressed me into a white bouncing wedding gown. I spin around looking at the mirror before it dawn on me the outfit I just put on freely.

"Am I getting married?" I ask, with my eyes almost pooping out from it's position.

"Count yourself lucky" one of the lady sneered looking annoyed, then she covered my face with the white transparent veil.

"To who? Impossible!" I struggled to run out of the room but they held me back.

Yet again, I'm powerless.

"I can't get married to who I don't have feelings for" I cried out profusely unable to hold my emotion and I got a hard slap on my back.

"How dare you ruin the make up?" the maid squealed in anger and I stared at her in shock, she was obviously acting as if she was the one getting married.

And why did she slap me baselessly?

"You..." I wanted to retaliate but I hold myself because I don't know the position I'm in at the moment.

"Take her away" she instructed and the other maids walk me out of the room.

I was ushered into another hall filled with people and I opened my eyes in astonishment, I could not say any word.

"What is.." I attempted to rush out of the hall but at the sight of two hefty men standing by the door, I purposely turn back wearing a mischievous bright smile.

Ashman was standing by the alter with his best man beside him, we locked gaze.

"Am I getting married to this devil?" these words escaped from my mouth as I unconsciously walk down the aisle approaching the alter.

"You will be my Luna" I stare at him anxiously and small smile crept out from his lips, did I hear him speak from afar or what?

How come I could hear his voice vividly in my heart?
