Their forced luna

Chapter 53

Amanda

After the dinner, where I'd been restricted to a strict diet of vegetables only, I was led back to what

would be my room. It was unlike the red room I had been in before. This one was simpler. The bed was

small, just a twin size, but the room was so tiny it made the bed look huge. It had a small dresser

wedged in beside it and a couple of threadbare blankets spread across the mattress. I barely had room

to turn around and there wasn't much else in there. I didn't even have a closet, just a couple of polls

with a rod hung between them.

"You'll start in this room, Alessa. If you're good and obey me, you can be upgraded. My favorite Luna

gets a suite fit for a queen. Get a nap in, because once I return we're going to be very busy getting to

know each other."

I repressed the urge to shudder. "Thank you,' I forced the words through grit teeth. I hadn't even

wanted to give him that but I needed to get on his good side.

"That's my girl," Aren praised. He leaned over and his lips brushed against my cheek. "I know you're

still scheming against me, my Prime. But don't worry. I can be very patient, and while you're throwing Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

yourself at me desperate for my approval, I still win."

He turned from me, leaving me alone in my room and closing the door behind him. A soft click let me

know I was still considered very much a prisoner.

I turned back around in the tiny area and on my bed was a simple nightgown, white with lace

trimmings. I undressed quickly and slipped into the offering. It was soft, but that's all it had going for it. I

might as well have been sleeping naked. My entire body could be seen through this thing.

I sat on the bed and waited. I didn't want to go asleep and be caught unaware by Aren. What would I

do if I ended up waking next to Aren?

There was no way to keep track of time as it slipped past me. I tried counting but all too soon my

eyelids got heavy and I fall back onto the mattress. I wiggled underneath the covers, tucking them

securely around me. If the bastard showed up at least he'd have to wake me in order to try anything.

I closed my heavy eyelids so I could focus and slipped into a deep rest.

"Welcome, Amanda. I was not expecting you to visit so soon." The warm voice of the Moon Goddess

warmed me body and soul. It had been a long time since I'd enjoyed listening to her.

"Moon Goddess," I called out into the darkness. "Please. I know you've helped me once before, but I

need your assistance again."

"Anything for my Champion." Her warmth surrounded me.

How could I ever believe Mitsi's fairy tales? "I've been captured by someone that is not one of my

mates. He's a monster but he can carry out the plan you have for me. Once that's over, will you help

me escape like you did before?"

"Child," her voice was rich and it made me relax. "You've already fulfilled your mission to me."

My brows furrowed into one long line. "What?" Maybe I should have tried to be more eloquent with a

Goddess, but this was not the kind of statement I was expecting. "That's impossible. I've only been

gone a couple days at most."

She laughed at me and it was like church bells were going off in my ears. "Do you truly think that I can

not tell? Your mission is over by beloved child."

Not the way I wanted it, but that meant I didn't have to stay here any longer. "Then you'll help me when

I wake up to get out of here and back to my mates?"

"No," she replied softly. "You are with the mate I have chosen for you, Amanda. All you have to do is

accept him and let go of your past."

I wanted to scream at her. Goddess or not, she was being insane. "Wait, something is wrong. You said

that Zale was my mate, you led me to him."

"I led you to him because it was needed," The Goddess corrected me. "You couldn't fulfill your mission

without that deviation on your journey. No, I've always meant for you to belong to my most faithful

warrior. Give all of yourself to him as you have me and you will find happiness."

I put a hand against one of my marks. "No way. Sorry, Goddess. But that's not what I want. I want to be

with my mates. I don't want to stay here with this man."

"Ahh," the Goddess's voice was warm again, wrapping me in its warm embrace. "If that is the issue,

then I can handle that too."

I opened my mouth to ask her what she meant when the mark beneath my fingers burned. "What are

you doing?" I demanded, taking a step away from her. The heat dissipated at my fingertips.

"It's simple, Amanda. Now that you are where you are supposed to be, I can get rid of those past bonds

forced on you. You won't ever have to worry about facing the prime or his pack again."

"No!" I growled at her and the warmth around me turned to a cold chill. Seemed like I had pissed her

off. But I was not going to be derailed. "And you have to be wrong. There's no way that I fulfilled the

promise that fast."

Her voice became mocking. "Amanda, did you have sex with the Prime and his men?"

"Yes, but it's too soon!" I argued.

"I am a Goddess do you not think I can tell when one of my faithful is carrying? You are indeed

pregnant, and your child will be the key to the future, my future."
