All Chapters of Alpha's Bargain, Luna's curse : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

CHAPTER 22...Carmilla It was both a threat and lack of disrespect to me. The sect leader, Jethro coughed loudly and pursed his lips. The lady jumped into his arms. He caught her.“Meet my sister, Brenda.” Jethro said.Like I asked. Duh! I rolled my eyes. The woman looked at me, starting with my feet, then to my face, and back to my feet. When that happened, I felt I was swept off my feet by her eyes.“Carmilla.” Evans replied sharply.‘C’mon say I am the one you wedded.’ I screamed in my head. Oh yeah…he didn’t.“She looks…” the lady was saying before she washed me with her sea blue eyes again. “She doesn’t look like someone who could stand being in the ring.” She said. Jethro and Evans found it funny, because they erupted with chuckles.I looked at the only person who did not laugh-Katrina. She had a very intense gaze when she looked at me.“The Luna is just recovering, my lady.” Katrina defended. Brenda folded her hands over her breast. “Luna! Interesting.” She smirked.It wa

CHAPTER 24... Carmilla I lay there, helplessly, sprawled in the grass, waiting for someone, just anyone to come to my rescue. The, this situation felt familiar. It was like a replay of events, as though this exact thing had happened to me at this same location-on the grass. “Luna!” I heard Katrina’s voice from afar off. “Katrina!” I yelled with all my strength. Her figure emerged. She ran towards me and knelt, lifting me to sit up, with her hand supporting me from behind. “Luna, what happened to you?’” she was almost crying. The Katrina I knew was almost emotionless most of the time, but this time, her near-teary eyes gave me hope that I was loved and valued by someone.“It’s…” I was saying.She placed a finger over my mouth. “Shhhhhhh…” she hushed. I swallowed, holding the pain.“The wound was initially ruptured during training earlier. I am so sorry, Carmilla. I ruptured it.” She apologized. “Hey…” I whispered. I knew when she made the wound rupture, and I knew that she in

CHAPTER 26Carmilla’s POVAs expected, there was a knock on the door. Katrina twisted the keys and let him in.“From the king.” A man’s voice was heard. I was feigning sick, so I squinted to see the guy, and also to register everyone’s expression. Including Evans’. I wanted yell, but I remained calm and allowed the guard to exit the room. Katrina followed behind and locked the room, turned the door knob to be sure it was properly locked. Evans looked like he had seen a ghost. I wanted to say ‘apologize!’, but it felt as though my tongue was heavy when I opened my mouth. I just sat straight up and watched him sit at the study table, staring into space. Unexpectedly, a part of me felt bad about what happened. It must have been so devastating to realize out your childhood friend was spying on your all along. Well, Cole had not done anything so bad thus far…The identity of the attacker was still unknown.I found my legs off the bed, meeting the cold marble floorings, heading towards

CHAPTER 28...Carmilla “Yes, Brenda. I heard you need quite some training, and she offered to help with that.” Russell smiled while saying this.I scoffed, but managed to restrain myself from sounding repulsive and irritated.“Not a bad idea, afterall.” I heard Evans’ voice. “She was always a kind soul.”‘A what!’ I screamed within.“I apologize my Lord. I am not sure I am interested in a vacation.” I said, rather angrily.“Do not reject the royal offer.” Russell Reeds replied in a calm tone, which still managed to sound like a threat. I looked at Evans to observe his expression. His gaze was fixed on his food as he munched on. I wanted to protest, but I knew better. It was best not to offend this man. But c’mon! Brenda offered to train who? Me? Gosh! I didn’t need any sorceress to tell me I was doomed. The rest of the dinner was the most annoying moment of my life. I munched and swallowed angrily. After the horrendous meal, I stormed to the residence, with Evans trying to meet

CHAPTER 30...Carmilla “Excuse me.” I whispered, placing my hand on his face, pushing him backwards. He reeked of alcohol in his breath. It then dawned on me that he had been drinking with Brenda. If he was putting up such act here, who knows what had happened with Brenda in her room.He sat on the floor before me, drunken and dizzy, his head fell the side occasionally as he stuttered unscrupulous words which I could not fathom. I threw the blanket on him and climbed to the bed. I was generous enough to leave the bed cover to him. Afterall, he should have been in the arms of another woman, buried underneath her sheets. Evans came up to join me on the bed. He spread the blanket over both of us. I couldn’t resist the warmth of the cotton on my skin, but I couldn’t bear being in the same bed with him. I made a move to leave the bed, but his hands grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him in such a way that I felt my butt resting against his rock hard abs.My heart jumped within.
