Where am i?
I looked around me, the horror never left my eyes because of the darkness that surrounded me. Why did i believe her when she said it'll help me? I frowned.
Earlier when i agreed to come with her, i was transported alone. She was not with me. Having no idea how to get outta here scared me, but it also eased me. Something tells me that if i just stay here...
Somehow.. maybe everything's gonna be alright.
I sat down and placed my head between my knees, wondering if my existent in this world was just an illusion. I hope it was, i don't ever want to go back there.
I don't mind dying.
I knew that i was dissipating. Going here didn't help at all, but i welcomed it open arms. My physical appearance slowly disappearing as if it was moist. I raised my hand to see the situation, it was still fading.. but faster.
Transparent.
If i disappear.. would i forget it?
Would i forget him?
"Christal.. i love you." His sweet voice echoing around my head.
Charles.. i'm sorry. The truth is- it hurt me that i had to remember you despite everything that has happened. It hurts that you're not beside me anymore- i promised you. But i guess i won't be anywhere to keep your promise.
I smiled, finally i can rest.
SYRENA's POV
I'm sorry Christal.. i wasn't able to protect you.
The moment that i finished removing the spell, everything around me immediately dispersed and i was back into reality. The reality that i did something horrible to the Luna of RedBloodMoon Pack.
I slowly got up, opening my eyes, and adjusting my sight. I was back and i did it. I was able to save her- just what the Alpha King wanted. It didn't shock me anymore when i saw him wrapping his arms around her.
Wait- She's awake?
"Christal.." the Alpha King murmurs as he tightens his hold around her. "I thought you left me already."
I frowned, her facial expression explained it all. She already forgot what i made her to, she had a blank expression-almost curious why she here. She blinked twice and slightly push him away.
"W-Where am i?" She asks, touching her head.
"Alpha King." I said, to make him notice that i was even here. Should i inform him?
My guts is telling me not to, but i can't disobey him. If he discovers it in the future, my head will be rolling.
They both looked at me, Christal clueless about everything and the Alpha King seriously staring at me, he says. "Thank you Syrena." He smiled only a bit.
No, don't thank me.
"I need to talk to you privately-"
"Tomorrow." He growls. "Go and do not disturb us." He coldly says.
I sighed, maybe it can wait. "Yes." I bowed and left.
I hope everything's gonna be well.
CHRISTAL's POV
When i opened my eyes, i saw my Mate looking at me with wide eyes, i frowned.
I have a Mate? Suddenly he hugged me and says something i could not hear- no. I wasn't able to understand it because of the trance that i was feeling.
I pushed him away. "W-Where am i?" I said, not looking at him but to my surroundings.
I saw a girl in front of us, she was directly looking at me, sadness visible in her eyes as she said. "Alpha King."
I know her, Syrena.
But how did i know that? Hmm- wait. That's right. I met her when i was lying on my bed, she was the one who healed me. Still suspiciously spectating her, i wondered why i know the things that are popping on my mind but i don't know them at all.
She bowed and left.
I turned my head to face him and stared at him quietly. He looks intimidating yet handsome. The way his muscles slightly bulge or the way he looks at me with pure worrisome.
Especially his scent, it's intoxicating.
I smiled.
Wait my guts is telling me not to- it's telling me to never trust this guy. But why did i think that? I just know that he's my Mate, but i don't remember why i shouldn't trust him. Isn't he my Mate? Then shouldn't i love him?
Something was missing, answers.
I frowned. "Weird.. it's weird that everything's weird."
"You need to eat." He says, placing the tray to the table beside him, he scoops a spoon full of food. He leans it towards me then i leaned backward.
"What are you doing?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Feeding you." He warmly says. "You've been through enough pain, i want you to feel comfortable."
"I have hands." I rolled my eyes, shit why did i talk to him like that? "I-I didn't mean to-"
"It's fine." He clenched his teeth. "I don't expect you to like me quickly, i don't know what you hate about me.. but i'm willing to wait for you. I may not change my ways, i have a kingdom to run, but as i said- i'll wait for you." He said and held my hands against his, he leans and gently kisses it, making me blush.
"O-Okay." I said as i removed my hand from his, he secretly frowns.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yes."
"You don't feel anything painful?"
Painful? I don't remember being in that condition, nevertheless, i replied. "Yes."
He sighs. "Here, if you don't want me to feed you." He gives me the tray, but i refused it.
"N-No. i mean- i want you to feed me.." i said whispering those embarrassing last words.
"What?" He says his eyes glinting with amusement.
I glared at him. "Nothing!"
"Really?" He sarcastically retorted. I just chuckled.
My day continued while he aided me almost like an infant. He was so careful at everything that he would literally taste my foods for poison first- or a slight flinch that i make would make him worry. He was a natural Mate- at least for now.
"Alpha King." A voice says behind the door, it was very far away. Making me notice that this room was bigger than i expected, it looked like a house!
He got up and kissed my forehead. "I'll be back. Don't move an inch."
I nodded, clutching the blanket that i covered myself, i waited for him to fled off and close the door behind him. My eyes traveled around the room, his walls mixed with dark colors, being here made me think of the midnight- or his eyes.
I smiled, i feel so relieved that my Mate was so Kind. But isn't he The Alpha King? I do understand that he has to be strict because he has a pack to run. Death is somehow common to us werewolves.
Because we're predators.
"I'll be back. Don't move an inch."
Something tells me to move an inch- maybe a kilometer? He won't mind.. right?
I smirked.
