Semua Bab Alpha's Bargain, Luna's curse : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Chapter 1 Carmilla . . . “Run, Carmilla” Her voice desperate, filled with fear. I looked at my mom ,still holding her hands. My heart was pounding but I couldn't see her face clearly. Everywhere was red-she was covered in blood.I was still reluctant to let go of her hands and then she smiled at me with tears in her eyes.She removed the silver necklace she was wearing and gave it to me. “Always keep this necklace with you,don’t lose it.”She said. My feet moved before I could think. The ground beneath me was wet and sticky. The smell of smoke burnt my nose ,mixing with something else- something metallic. Blood I ran. I had no destination in mind but all I knew was that I had to keep on moving. Branches scratched against my skin while I pushed through the trees as I grasped for air .My mother's voice echoed behind me but it was distant now ,swallowed by forest noises. “Don't stop- keep running!” I wanted to scream but I couldn't. My throat felt heavy ,like something was hol

Chapter 3Carmilla...I woke up to the sound of luggages and other things being moved. I shrugged and got up from the bed as I stretched my body, still sore but slightly better now. I was distracted by a soft knock on the door.“Come in.”The door creaked open and I saw Evans standing there. He was already prepared. “Are you okay now?” he said with a straight look as ever.“You don't have to pretend you care , it's just the both of us here.” I looked around bitterly.His jaw clenched then he let out a sigh “Get ready and come downstairs” he said, shutting the door behind him.I sat down back on the bed to remove the wedding gown I was currently on and changed to a black short cotton gown. I wondered what was waiting for me at the new packhouse. I went downstairs to see Aunt Freya waiting to see me off. She didn't have to pretend like she also cared about me. I hated her hypocrisy.“Where's your wedding dress?” She looked at me with a scornful face.“It's upstairs. It got tiring t

Chapter 5Carmilla...The next morning, silence filled the room like a mist. I sat down by the edge of the bed, my fingers stroking the soft hem of the blanket. I still had shivers from last night's dinner. Above all, their whispers clung to me like vines around my throat.I knew something would go wrong the moment I stepped into the dinning hall. The side glances, jaw clenching, the little side laughters each time I uttered a word. It was all to make me smaller and inferior. And it worked.I sighed and stood up as I padded towards the dresser. My hands trembled as I brushed my tangled hair. For a moment I considered skipping breakfast. But if I did, it was going to satisfy their ego. I quickly fixed my bangs and took a few glances of myself before I got up from the chair.After dressing in a plaited peach sweater and light blue jorts, I made my way downstairs. The scent of meat and eggs filled the air. No one batted an eye as I made my way to my seat. Fine by me. I quietly sat do

Carmilla . . . I got up to fully observe my allegedly new room. It was dimly lit, soft golden light oozing from the lamp at the bedside. It was nearly the size of the previous room but a bit bigger. A woven rug covered most of the floor space and the bed looked like it hadn't been used in years. Clean, private and safer. I sat back on the bed with my back straight, my hands gripping the edge like the floor would fall beneath me. I wonder why he moved me here. Was it more of a punishment or to gain control ? More or less, I still remembered the way he kept looking at me after the day I helped Martins. Was he angry? Or…. jealous? That last thought was so ridiculous. He barely looked at me these days. I was just a name on paper. A Luna in title only. I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. The room had been quite silent for long, I could even hear echoes from my eardrum. My stomach growled. I hadn't eaten since lunch. As if on nothing happened, there was a gentle kn

Chapter 9...CarmillaIt was a tiring long walk out of the Alpha's residence. A car blinked at the car park. I realized that Evans had used the small keys in his hands to unlock the car. I guessed the door was open, and I was required to help myself in.The sound of the door jolting hit me back to reality. The smell of cold air freshener traveling through my nostrils, resetting my head, and telling me the difference between the comfort of this air-conditioned car and the scorching hot weather.He looked at me and frowned a bit, his unibrow appeared more jointed. Just then, the car reversed to suddenly, pushing me forward and throwing me back.“Fasten your seat belt." He said, pointing to it.I rolled my eyes and held the seatbelt, struggling to lengthen the seatbelt and hook it in, but he was already accelerating, as though he was teleporting at the moment. He didn't flinch or bat an eye. Rather, his gaze was fixed on the road and the side mirror.Amidst the struggle, he suddenly
