CHAPTER 76 : RUNNING AWAY
CHAPTER 76 : RUNNING AWAY
It was the next day, right after the invitation as Juliet's eyes were puffy, indicating that she had cried.
Juliet had given up on Ronin, but her inner vampire desired him more than anything else in the world.
It was becoming increasingly difficult for Juliet, who just wanted to stay in bed, as time passed.
The ceremony was the next day, and she had no choice but to go because Juliet knew Luna would.
Juliet had no idea why Luna was attending the ceremony, even though Draco had pushed her away,
leaving her to die in her vampire form.
Juliet sighed, flopping on the bed, and mumbled to herself, "I am such a cry baby," as she sighed.
Juliet could hear Luna's yells as Jace, and Alexander's voices echoed in an attempt to calm her down.
Alyssa was sitting on the sofa as Juliet sat up and stared at Alyssa, who continued to munch on chips,
causing Juliet to sigh.
“Aren't you eating a lot these days?” Juliet questioned Alyssa, who laughed and replied, "No way this is
normal for me," as Juliet hummed while laying back down.
The door opened as Luna walked in angrily, followed by Jace and Alexander, and Juliet sat up staring
at them.
“Are we going?” Alyssa inquired, to which Luna replied, "Yes, we are because Draco needs to know I
can live perfectly fine without him," causing Jace to sigh as he sat on the bed.
“Luna, you don't need to push yourself,” Juliet said as Jace nodded in agreement. Alexander sat next
to Jace on the sofa, and Luna sat next to Alyssa.
Luna said, "Jace, I am not weak,” She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, adding, "I can handle Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
myself well, and we need to go and see what those bitches are planning."
“But you all can get hurt in that process,” Jace said as he huffed, while Luna shook her head and
replied, “No, we won't get hurt.”
Alexander said, "Luna is right, Jace." As he held Jace's hand, and continued, "We have to go, and we
aren't alone," hoping Jace would agree.
“Alex is correct. Maya, Ruby, your pack, Layla, Mia, Adrian, Noah, Nathan, and Isabella are all here.”
Alyssa said as Jace sighed, unsure what to do so he replied, "If you all say so, but we have to stay
close."
Juliet felt awful, and she didn't think she'd be able to see anyone else holding her mate's hand.
“Y-you all can go,” Juliet stuttered, trying not to cry because she missed Ronin and wanted to be with
him.
“Why? Why aren't you attending the ceremony?” Luna questioned as Juliet replied, "I can't see Ronin
mate with someone else," sniffing and trying not to cry.
Alexander quickly hugged Juliet, who hugged him back, while Jace looked at Luna, who sighed.
Luna said, "Look, this is what those bitches planned, and we need to be there because they don't want
us to come." Juliet rubbed her eyes and stared at Luna confused.
“How do you know they don't want us to come?” Juliet asked, and Luna responded, "Our names
weren't even written there, which means Draco, Loukas, and Ronin personally came to invite us," to
which Alyssa agreed.
“I have a bad feeling about this,” Juliet said as Jace hummed and said, “I agree with Juliet,” adding, “I
have a bad feeling about this, too.”
“We will go and stay together no matter what.” Alyssa said as Alexander added. "Jace, by going there,
we can meet uncle and aunt, as well as Kim, Amy, and Sam, so we can figure out the plan," while Luna
looked worriedly at Juliet.
“We need to get the pack ready in case of war,” Jace said, as Alexander shook his head and replied,
“There will be no war.”
“How can you be so sure?” Jace questioned as Alexander replied, "Because, in the end, Draco,
Loukas, and Ronin don't hate you."
Luna and Alyssa nodded, knowing Alexander was correct because Draco, Loukas, and Ronin had said
it.
Alyssa said, "They hate us, so they'd only kick us out or put us in jail, so we need you guys to just
protect us in case they use their powers on us." to which Jace nodded and replied, "I can do that." as
he smiled at Alyssa, who smiled back.
“Now you girls should rest, and we can talk about it later because I have a feeling none of you slept.”
Alexander said as Luna stuttered out, “Y-Yeah, we didn't.”
“Neither did Jace nor I, so we can all now relax.” Alexander said as he smiled and waved to Juliet,
Alyssa, and Luna who smiled back.
Jace and Alexander left the room as Alyssa laid down on the bed, with Luna next to her as Juliet
sighed.
“You won't be sleeping?” Alyssa questioned as Juliet stood up and closed the curtains and light while
saying, "I can sleep when it's dark." as she laid down on the other side.
Alyssa slept in the middle, with Juliet on her right side and Luna on her left.
Many strange thoughts raced through Juliet's mind as she sighed, laying down straight, and looked at
Alyssa and Luna, who were trying to sleep.
Juliet closed her eyes and relaxed, hoping that she would soon fall asleep and that when she woke up,
everything would be just another bad dream.
*******
It had been an hour as Juliet kept tossing and turning but couldn't sleep.
Juliet sighed and sat up when her gaze was drawn to Alyssa and Luna, who was fast asleep.
“How can you both attend the ceremony in peace when you know your mates are about to mate with
the girls who wanted to kill you?” Juliet sighed, shaking her head, and laid down again.
Juliet had no idea what she needed to do, but one thing was certain: she was not going to attend the
ceremony no matter what.
Memories of Ronin replayed in her head as she sat up again and carefully stood up to go to the walk-
in-wardrobe.
Juliet grabbed a trolley bag, in which she kept a few clothes, jewelry, shoes, and undergarments.
The only sound in the wardrobe was the ticking of the clock as Juliet dashed to the restroom to do her
business, exiting after 6 minutes.
Juliet quickly wore her small bag and grabbed her trolley bag while wearing her shoes and walked out
of the room.
Juliet smiled at Alyssa and Luna as she carefully closed the door behind her and said, "I'm sorry, but I
can't do this."
Juliet took a look around as she carefully walked towards the window, hoping no one would notice her.
Guards and butlers were roaming around doing their duties as Juliet quickly sneaked away as she
opened a window and saw no one there, so she first threw her bag and then jumped out.
Juliet carefully ran away because she knew where she wanted to go, and it was the park where Ronin
always took her.
Juliet shivered in the cold breeze, but she knew it wasn't the time to cry or be cold.
Juliet desired to return to the human world, which was difficult, but she knew she could enlist the
assistance of Ruby and Maya, begging them not to tell the others.
It's not that Juliet didn't believe Jace and Alexander when they said they'd protect her, but she was
terrified that they'd be hurt in the process.
Juliet arrived at the park quickly as she saw a stall, so she went and paid the man at the stall while she
took the water bottle.
The park held many memories of Juliet and Ronin being together as he shared many secrets with her
while telling her stories from his youth.
Juliet sat on the bench, twisting the water bottle cap as she drank water and sighed as she closed the
cap.
Juliet smiled as she watched the children play, recalling Ronin's promise to her that one day, they
would have a family of their own.
Juliet sighed, trying not to cry as she sniffed, holding back her tears when her gaze fell on Draco,
Ronin, and Loukas.
They were sitting alone on a bench when Juliet quickly stood up to hide from them, grabbing her bags
and putting on her cap.
Juliet was certain that this was the perfect opportunity to spy on them as she sat on a bench not far
from them, making sure not to be seen.
“What should we do now?” Ronin inquired, and Loukas replied, "I'm not sure, but I hope Juliet, Alyssa,
and Luna attend the ceremony," as Juliet clearly heard them, which surprised her completely.
Draco said, "I hope so too because we kept this ceremony for them because we want Kim, Amy, and
Sam to know that no matter what they do, our hearts will only beat for our real mates" as Loukas
sighed and said, "But we hurt them a lot," and Ronin added, "I hurt my mate Juliet a lot."
Juliet was taken aback by what she heard as she continued to play with the water bottle, but she did
her best not to get caught because she didn't want her mate's plan to be ruined because of her
foolishness.
Loukas sighed and rubbed his face, saying, "At least you guys talked nicely to Juliet and Luna." He
added, "I was so rude with Alyssa."
“Everything will be fine soon, so all we can hope for is that they come to the ceremony,” Ronin said,
looking at Loukas and Draco, who nodded in agreement.
“I am sure Luna will attend because she would never give up on me this easily,” Draco said as he
smiled, while Ronin replied, “I know Alyssa will not attend, and neither will Juliet,” as Loukas hummed
in agreement.
“They will attend, don't worry,” Draco said as Ronin sighed and replied, “I think we should have
included Jace in this plan,” as Loukas shook his head in disagreement.
Loukas spoke up. “We could have, but Kim, Amy, and Sam were aware he was spying on them,” Draco
sighed nodding.
Juliet suddenly remembered how Loukas had devised the plan to kidnap them, as well as the plan in
which they pretended to have second mates, which convinced her that if this was a plan, it had been
devised by Loukas, as he was known to devise such weird plans.
“That is correct, but thankfully he is looking after our mates.” Draco said as Loukas added, “We need to
try our best at the ceremony.”
Ronin said, "I agree,” he sighed and looking up at the sky while he added “We need to keep making
sure that Kim, Amy, and Sam think we love them,”
Loukas said "Exactly, and when all the guests arrive, we will introduce Luna, Alyssa, and Juliet as our
mates.” Draco and Ronin nodded happily, making Juliet smile.
“The security should be strong just in case Kim, Amy, and Sam try to do something,” Draco said as
Juliet waited for them to leave so she could return as well.
As Draco shrugged, Ronin said, "If they do something," shifting his gaze to Draco, "everyone will see it,
and we will put them in jail with an inhibitor on them, so they don't escape."
“They harmed Jace and Alexander, so they should be sentenced to death,” Loukas said, to which
Draco replied, “We can't use our powers against powerless people, so we have to be extra careful with
what you planned” to which Loukas nodded.
“For now, we shouldn't talk about this much and go back home,” Ronin said, to which Draco replied,
“Yes, and we should take Kim, Sam, and Amy shopping, so they keep believing us,” and Loukas
added, “Let's go home because all we can hope for now is some miracle happening and our mates
attending this ceremony,” which made Juliet very happy, but she wasn't sure if what she heard was true
or not.
“I believe in them, and I know they will attend.” Loukas said while Ronin smiled and replied, “I trust
them, and I know they will as well.” which made Juliet very happy knowing her mate believes in her,
Alyssa, and Luna.
Juliet saw Draco, Loukas, and Ronin stand up as they walked away, leaving her stunned, and she
quickly threw the empty bottle in the trash can while standing up and grabbing her bag.
Juliet was completely taken aback by what Draco, Loukas, and Ronin said, and she quickly changed
her plans and planned to return to Jace and Alexander's house.
Juliet knew what she had heard could be true, but there was a slim chance it was a trap, and she was
certain Jace needed to know so he could take the next step while Juliet felt strong.
Juliet quickly sat inside a cab, giving the address and smiling as she waited to return to the castle to tell
them everything she heard.
