THE MOON'S FALL

Chapter Eleven

Damien's POV

I hear a knock on my door, from the faint breathing sounds I could tell it was the little human.

She pushed the door open after hearing me say ' come in'. She placed the food tray in her hand on the table and tries to set up.

Getting up from the bed, I feel a pair of eyes following my every move. These humans are really pathetic, ' how can you be checking out the person who took you captive ' I thought to myself.

I walk to the table and take a sit. She's still staring at me. I attempt to snap her out of wherever her mind had taken her, " The next rule you disobey would come with a punishment" I warn.

She moves away from the table and almost toppled over. Something weird is happening. There's this strange awfully intoxicating smell. I look down and see a red liquid dropping on my table.

I reach for her hand and grab it, my body acting faster than my head. She tries to pull out of my grip but to no avail. She starts shouting and for some reason her defiance fuels my interest. I pick her up and place her on the table, trashing all the contents of the tray. She is sat on my table with me trapping her.

It has been a while since I last went hunting. I almost forgot the thrill of watching your prey beg for mercy. The taste of raw human blood cannot be compared to the nonsense I'm served in a chalice.

The smell of her blood invades my nostrils once again. "Let me go" she shouts. " I warned you. You just broke another rule. Don't speak unless you're asked to " I say to her shaking frame. I let go of her as wicked thoughts invade my head. As expected she tries to run but a part of me keeps her in place, My shadows.

My shadows are doing a great job in keeping her steady. "Don't do anything crazy. Leave me the f**k alone" she screams in my face. I can feel the fear coursing through her body. She is obviously trying to hide it but little did she know that I could smell it from miles away.

As I take steps closer, she tries to close her legs. Her actions make me laugh. 'The pathetic human thinks I want to f**k her that's why she's scared' I say to myself in an inaudible tone. I plan to fuel her fears.

My hands move up her legs and she starts kicking. The shadows hold her legs down and I continue my torture.

I move her skirt up slowly. She is still trying to fight but I can see she is playing safe. She doesn't want to break any more rules.

I trail up her thigh with my tongue but stop midway. My hands continue to move up her thigh deliberately taunting her. I stop just at the rim of her underwear. The sound of her heart beating could be heard at the end of the hall. I use my tongue to find an artery then I sink my teeth in.

As soon as her blood touched my tongue every strain of control I had left flew out the window. The taste is exquisite, silky and the purest form I've ever had. Her struggling had reduced and that made it easier for me to drink peacefully.

" Knock, knock" said someone at the other side of the door. Immediately I'm brought back to reality.Annoyed but I step away from the little human. The person at the door knocks again and I send a signal of affirmation.

Hilda opens the door " Dimitri, the Alpha of the Earth pack is......" she stops in her tracks as she notices the human on my table.

" Oh my goodness " she shouts as she rushes to the table. " Her pulse is weak and I can hardly hear her heart beat " Hilda says with a worried expression.

" Take her to the infirmary. She isn't allowed to have any visitors" I tell Hilda before strolling out of the room. I hate being interrupted during a meal, especially a meal as delicious as the one I was having.

Since I could no longer eat, I decide to go meet the Alpha waiting in my office.

Adriana's POV

"Adriana! it's time to wake up. I am sorry but it has to be. This might be the last time you would be safe. Your peace will be stolen from you" A voice warns. I try to open my eyes but it seems harder than usual. Finally I peel my eyes open and the environment is strange to me. I try to sit up but my body refuses to obey my mind. I look around then notice I'm in some sort of hospital.

" You're finally awake " Ms Hilda says as she approaches the bed. " How are you feeling" she asks. " just very weak " I answer genuinely.

"What can you remember?" she asked me. My mind starts traveling trying to understand how I got into a hospital bed. Finally it all came back to me. He did this to me. " why did he do that? it was not part of the job description" I ask her trying my best not to sound rude because I am f*****g furious.

As the images play in my head, my blood boils. I feel violated.

" Whatever you're feeling now is completely understandable but you cannot tell anyone about what happened. The king has ordered it. Your friend has been waiting outside that door ( she points to the infirmary door). When you're asked what happened, you'll say 'i accidentally fell and hit my head'. If you tell her or anyone else the truth, you will risk them getting killed " she warns with a stern expression.

The look on Ms Hilda's face says it all. The bastard was threatening my family. If he wants to play dirty, I'll show him I can be the dirtiest.

She gives me one last look before leaving the infirmary. A few minutes later, the door is pushed open and a sad Mira runs towards me.
