Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Rejected Luna : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The whole incident was happening very fast, that I couldn't actually process everything that I was seeing.I really wanted to know why no one tried to object or make a counter bid, when this man said something. Just then, I perceived a scent that was seemingly different from all that I had perceived in the past. This particular one, was just so regal and princely.Each passing second, the scent became stronger as it kept coming nearer to me."Cash or transfer?" The baritone voice asked the emcee, who had resurfaced back to the stage, with the speed of light."Any!" He responded."Here are ten briefcases of money. You can count, confirm and also make sure that it is complete." The Alpha, said to the emcee.It was the full payment, and that meant that I had actually become his property at that moment. I was still pondering on the ground, when a strange hand, pulled me from up from the ground in a very forceful manner. It was just so obvious that my fate was very unsure.At that very m

We both froze in shock, as we were just so terrified.Just then, the voice of another maiden spoke up."On the instruction of the alpha, I came to serve you dinner, ma'am." She said, and left the room immediately.I breathed a long sigh of relief, as I was already panicking."That was so close." I muttered.The room fell very quiet again, as the maiden didn't say any other word to me again."We're forbidden from speaking up in this castle." She began.I looked at her in silence, while wondering what to say to her."I thought as much. If you don't feel like saying any word to me, then you can keep calm. I totally understand." I assured her, and she smiled at her.We just stayed silent for a long while, before she broke the silence."I trust you, ma'am. You know, speaking to anyone about anything can attract death, as the alpha is very ruthless." She explained, and I didn't even doubt her at all.With what I had seen so far, I still didn't need to doubt what the alpha was capable of doi

Now take off your clothes! His voice reverberated like thunder as he roared once again. My hands shaking against my ripped clothing, I froze. My whole body trembled, not just from fear but also from the anger that was building inside of me. This was humiliation, a last-ditch effort to shatter me, not just cruelty. "No." I said in a barely audible whisper. Immediately, his eyes darkened, blazing with rage. "What were your words to me?" "I declined!" This time, despite my inner voice telling me to stop talking, I spoke louder. The blood on my face blended with my tears, but I wouldn't look away. "You can murder me, beat me, or whip me." However, you cannot deprive me of my dignity. Silence for a moment. His nostrils flared, his jaw tightened, and for the first time I noticed hesitation instead of haughtiness in his eyes. He growled and moved closer till his shadow engulfed me, asking, "You think you're strong, Luna?" "You believe you can live by defying me?" He ran h

"Who's there?" The sound of the wind scraping the castle walls was barely audible above Luna's voice. Her hands clasped the shredded sheet she had wrapped around herself like armour as her voice failed in the huge room's darkness. Through the tall, gothic windows, the pale light of the crescent moon crept through, creating skeletal shadows on the stone floor, and every element of the chamber seemed to breathe, to hum with invisible eyes. Her veins ached from the memory of Roman's visit from the previous evening. It was difficult to forget him, the piercing glimmer of his obsidian eyes, the savage smirk that had promised anguish with a taste of something lethal and tempting, the chilly domination in every measured movement. Her body ached in locations she didn't know could experience such fire, but her heart continued to pound against her ribs because of the anxiety she had for what he might do next. She climbed up slowly, cautiously and methodically each time. She felt shiv

"Have you heard it?" As the unknown shadow loomed next to her, Luna pressed herself against the chilly stone wall and muttered. Although the voice was gentle, playful, and almost personal, there was peril in every word. She tried to control her shaking hands and screamed, "Who's there?" Short, sharp gasps of breath mixed with the musty smell of the hallway. The shadow moved. A silhouette entered the faint candlelight. A tall, broad-shouldered man with dark hair who appeared to be piercing her with his shrewd, sharp eyes. He was imposing, a quiet storm encased in a human body. He murmured, "You shouldn't be here, Luna," in a silky, low voice that made her skin crawl with fear. "So, what brings you here?" With a trembling defiance beneath her words, she asked in a voice stronger than she felt. Do you intend to stop me? or to witness my punishment?” She felt as if his eyes were measuring her very soul as he watched her for a heartbeat. "Neither. For the time being. H
