"Who is it?" Luna held on to her phone tightly, and inched forward, one leg in front of the other. Her heart skipped beats, as she moved even closer than she planned to. "Who.." She stopped talking when she saw two rats run out of the building. Her brows furrowed, as she watched them go. She released her grip on the phone and checked if she had any message from Jess. Of course, she did. He asked her if she was alone. She replied with a yes, her eyes darting around to confirm. After that, she sent another yes. All she got after she sent that was a simple okay, written as "ok." She frowned at that, because she didn't know what to do after it. She couldn't go back home, and there was no way she would go into the building in the hope of seeing him there. A sigh escaped from Luna's lips, as she glanced at the phone again, expecting a message from him. For the first time, she really did long for a message from him. Her hand flew to her head and she scratched it out o

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR "okay!" Luna peeled her eyes from Alexander and tried focusing her eyes on the dark road before them, but she couldn't. The only thing she could think about apart from the fact that she just told Alex.....everything, was how he hit Jess like that because of her. "Why...why did you hurt him that much? I mean, you didn't have the-" Alex slowly turned his head to face her. He didn't say anything, but noticed that she stopped speaking. "He was about to hurt you. If I had gotten here later, then he probably would have. I had to drive really fast to get to you. You should appreciate that!" He gripped the key and twisted it. As the car roared under them, he didn't steal another glance at the almost dead Jess, before speeding down the dusty, dark road. Luna exhaled and rested her head on the seat. She was really tired of everything, and all she wanted to do was to get home and sleep till whenever. "Did you kill them?" He didn't look at her. She slowly raised her head

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX Alex looked away from her, and looked back at her, a mischievous smirk dancing on his lips. He breathed in and out before parting his lips to speak. "Luna, you should go inside and sleep right now. I'm not asking you to, I'm telling you!" He was serious, and she knew that. But, even with that, she still wanted to go against his words. "But-" "I'm not asking, Luna. You should go right now." He said, and her face formed into a frown. She rolled her eyes at him, and Alex corked a brow. He wanted to make her pay for that, but he changed his mind. Without saying anything, Luna turned around and she started walking back to the room. When she remembered something, she stopped and slowly turned to face him, questions written all over her face. "Am I still moving to the other part of the house? You-" "No, I think you should stay here for now. Even though that filthy boyfriend of yours can never gain entry into this house, I still feel you should

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT "Don't touch me!" Luna tried moving away from Chris, but he was way too strong for her. He continued staring at her, with anger written all over his face. She didn't even understand why he was angry, getting all defensive like he was her father. "You....I asked a question, Luna and I need answers!" He stopped gritting his teeth, but his grip around her was still so strong. She stared at him, before gulping down. "Okay, I went out. Okay? Is that fine, father?" She teased and he angrily pushed her against a wall, with his hands still around her. Luna cried in pain, as she looked straight into his eyes and saw no warmth. The nice Christian was gone. "Out? Hm, okay! I don't believe you, but I'm going to find out for myself!" He left her shoulders, and scowled at her, before gripping the door. Luna rubbed her hands, before stopping him from leaving. "Why do you want to know, anyway? It sounds weird, because I don't know why you care about it. We are friends, I get

Luna's eyes jolted open and her hands instantly flew around his neck, her lips moving in sync with his. Their lips slid over each other, making the kiss really hot and as intimate as it could be. A few seconds later, she pulled out of the kiss and stared at Alex with her teary eyes. She felt a warm liquid coming out of her bottom lip, and it wasn't from the warmth of Alex's mouth. She touched it and saw that it was her blood. She was bleeding. That could only mean that Alex had bitten her by mistake. "Um-" She started saying, but she was cut off, when Alex inched closer and covered the injured part of the lip with his, sucking on it as hard as he could. Luna didn't know why, but that was so sexy to her. She closed her eyes, and started dragging his hair again, as he did that. Alex's hand flew to her waist, as he carried her, moving his hands to rest on her butt. He walked a few feet away from the place, and pressed a button. Chairs were instantly arranged there, and the room loo
