From CEO TO WARRIOR LUNA

CHAPTER 4

HAZEL POV

After both sisters left, I came back to my sister's side as she sat on the bed, her face all sweaty and red with pain.

“You're going to be OK, Lori, and I am sure we are going to be back home as soon as possible."

It felt like an eternity before she answered.

“I hope that too, Haze".

I stood pacing the room waiting for the redhead to finally come and let me ease my sister's pain.

But what if they never came?After all,we were to be eaten as dinner and who in his right senses would care about someone they were supposed to eat?

Fifteen minutes later, none of the twins came back.Seeing how much my sister was bleeding, I decided to do something.

Heading round the room, I found my way to the bathroom after passing through a large dressing room with a few casual clothes.

The bathroom was large with a corner for a shower and in the other corner was found a large elegant bathtub.I could see my face through the large mirrors,my face was all puffy and I could see blood in my hair .

The large bath tube could help with cleaning my sister's wound.Heating up a bath, I went to find her lying with a pillow supporting her head.

Carefully carrying her on my back while she put her hands round my neck,I headed for the bathroom.Once there,I made an effort to gently place her in the bath tube, gritting my teeth as she winced in pain.

Searching through the cupboards in the bedroom, I found scissors, with several towels but no first aid kit.That was enough to help.I ran back to her.She was sobbing.

My sister didn't support the pain. This was one of those moments where I had to cuddle her, rubbing her back softly.Cutting through her trousers, I exposed the deep wounds. I felt like throwing up.

She was doing her best not to scream,instead she was whimpering silently.The beast's canine had dug deep holes in her thigh.

Oh God!If only I had not organized this weekend.

Removing her shirt, she remained with her blue bra.Cutting just one leg of the trouser had exposed her pale right leg.

Being careful,I rinsed the wounds.Cutting the towels horizontally,I carefully tied them round the wound, doing my best not to hurt her.

“With this, I am sure we can hold on for a while.Do you feel better?"I asked, still tying the towels.

The silence made me lift my head.At first I thought she had been sleeping,then observing her position I realized she had fainted,I had to take her back to bed.To avoid her wetting the bed,I cut through the second leg of her trousers, transforming them into boxers.

I carried her back to the room with many difficulties.I never imagined a day like this could come.Laurel and I had the same small bodies and same weight but with a bit of will,I could carry her right to bed.

I untied her pony tail.Observing her small,pale,exposed body wearing just a bra with shorts, I wondered what to do again.

My worry was cut short as the door was banged open.Several women ran in wearing the same attires holding different things.They were more like maids from the way their heads were bowed ,their hair held in simple buns and they walked accordingly.

Then one of the redhead sisters followed wearing jeans and a white t-shirt.Her flamboyant hair was in disarray.

Clapping their hands,the maids dispersed in different directions. I sat on the bed holding my sister's right hand, trying to understand what was happening.Each of the maids had a task to do in the room. The cleaning, dusting and ranging filled the room with noise.An older woman approached us, causing me to frown and my heart leaped:

Was it time for dinner?

“Relax love,Anneira just wants to help your sister"a voice mused behind.

I turned to find the smiling twin staring at me, her blue eyes similar to the Greek gods' own sparkling.From the moment I met them,I realized there were identical twins.The only difference was their facial expressions, contrary to Laurel and I who had different hair colors.

One was always warm,while the other was cold.

I lifted a brow when our eyes met;

“My name is Heaven Anderson lupe.Your future sister-in-law."

I frowned, confused, earning a soft chuckle from her:

“I am kidding.What is your name?"

There was silence.The chaos around me stopped ,all eyes turning to me suddenly, making me self-conscious.

“Hazel Danielson"I answered gruffly.

I turned back to see the maid had cleaned the wound,applied some medicine.

She then took a glass full of red liquid and carefully placed it on my sister's lips.

“what is that?"I asked, trying not to panic.

The maid stopped. Looking at me, she paled.

“My blood.I promise you I am not sick.It is just to help her heal faster"Heaven said quietly.

Standing,I walked to her and knocked the cup it's content spilling on the bedside table.Silence descended into the room.Were this people OK?

“What my sister needs is not blood but a medical doctor to examine her"I argued.

“But she was bitten by a wolf,Hazel, and only blood from a werewolf can help her heal properly"Heaven said, trying to calm me.

I felt like protesting for a moment, but what if she was right?My sister was pale and all sweaty.Her temperature was rising,I couldn't help but shiver with fear.

After all, they were wolves and they knew things I didn't.It may be dangerous but Laurel was in pain.

I reluctantly nodded to the maid who stood staring at me.She went up to Heaven with the glass.To my horror, the latter bit her wrist and pressed it into the glass. A few drops fell inside.

I heard my Laurel whimpering.I hurriedly sat down. Holding her hand I asked:

“Are you OK?Do you need anything?"I asked her.

She stared at me then smiled faintly.

I was the one who dragged her into this mess, so I had to take her home where I was sure she would be well taken care of.

The sooner,the better for all of us.

The maid placed the glass on her lips while I gently rubbed her hand, knowing how much she hated blood.Laurel refused even a single drop of the blood.

Heaven observed us from her standing position in the middle of the room with an unreadable expression.Seeing laurel's determination,they all left while I sat there thinking of a way out of this mess.

“You have to look for a way to escape.We have to leave from here before we finish dinner" Laurel said, her voice barely audible as she clutched my hand tighter, her knuckles whitening in the process.

I nodded, not encouraging small talk for her to rest. These people were weird with all their behaviors, from walking around naked to drinking blood.The sooner we left here the sooner, Laurel could get medical attention.

I observed her as her lids closed slowly.

Her regular breath assured me she was OK.I finally saw how dirty I was when my eyes fell on one of the mirrors in the middle of the room.My jeans teared from the fight and my shirt was all dirty and soaked with blood.I needed a bath, but, laurel's safety was more important so I couldn't bath with fear she might need me.

Soon my eyelids grew heavy.It made me realize that if I didn't have a bath I was going to fall asleep,therefore leaving my sister in danger and that, I couldn't accept.

Looking around the room, I realized the maids had done a great job by feeling empty cupboards were now full,the shelves full of books,new lamps were placed with a few candles round the room.It looked less empty than before.

Taking the heavy towels,I checked for the last time over my sister.

The shower was cold, making my teeth clatter.My clothes were so dirty. What to do? I'll just wear them that way.

After my bath, I circled the large towel around my body,taking my underwear with my clothes, then went back to my room.

My sister's position in bed made my heart race.

Oh God!she was convulsing. What to do?

Running to her,I pulled her up,placed her on her side, then put her head on a pillow.The glass of blood was still placed on the bedside table.

I stood up and, taking the glass, I took a sip.It was really blood.The metallic taste spread rapidly in my mouth but I felt no other effect.

I placed it in her mouth with a lot of difficulty,the red liquid went down her throat.My heart racing, I sat there waiting for some miracle as I clutched the glass tightly.

Soon she calmed down,her breath even , she closed her eyes.

Was she OK?Her calm breathing assured me and I wiped her lips.

Remembering I still had a towel round my body,I turned to go change, only to find the Greek God leaning against the door.

What was he doing here? How did he even enter?He stood there smiling at me.

I avoided his gaze as my heart stopped.

He moved forward towing over me,my eyes widened as I forced myself to stare at him,my heart beating faster as our eyes met.I refused to be intimidated, keeping my steady stare at his beautiful masculine face:

“Is it time to eat us?"I asked coldly.

His gaze narrowed for a moment ,then his tight lips relaxed in a mocking smirk as he whispered:

“Maybe"

“My sister needs medical attention, so you better let us go home so that we can take care of her"I rasped.

I felt annoyed seeing his amused expression:

“Why would I let my next dinner go to the hospital when she is soon finished in the pot?"

I blanched at his words.

“Maybe because you do not like rotten meat"I fired back, determined not to let him intimidate me.

He stared at me for a moment, then said coldly:

“You are allowed to walk around when you feel better.But know that you are never going home as long as I am alive.As for your sister, she would heal if you continue giving her blood.You had better get used to that and forget your past".

My heart stopped.

Refusing to show my feelings, smirking, I challenged him:

“You are more stupid than I thought.Who told you,you could order me around and tell me what to forget and what not to?"I asked, looking at him.He gulped.

“Do not try anything stupid or you may regret it later"he said through gritted teeth.

I smirked“let's see that wolf".

With that, I turned and,carrying my clothes, I left for the bathroom.

When I came back,the Greek God had left.A tray of food was placed on the bedside table.

Laurel was sound asleep, touching her forehead. Her temperature had decreased.

I sighed with relief.Turning to the tray, I swallowed hard.What if it was poisoned?

I was against eating at first.My stomach didn't buy that,the growls in my stomach pushed me to taste the food.

I sat for a while still debating on whether to eat or not.Defeated by hunger,I finally started eating.Never tasted a meal like this before.It was amazing.

A few minutes later, I had finished.Laurel was still sleeping.

Placing my fingers under her nose,her hot breath reassured me and her temperature seemed to be steady.Looking around the room, my eyes landed on the dirty plates.Then an idea came to my mind.This was my clue to look around the lovely house and think of a way to escape.

Kissing my sister's forehead, I left the room.Two guards stood in front of our bedroom's door and they bowed, seeing me.Our bedroom seemed to be in the middle of other rooms.

Looking down the hallway, I wondered around staring up,I was more like a little girl in this giant house.Looking away from the large framed pictures on the wall,I walked passed a door then found the stairs.

I finally found myself in a huge room. The aligned vases,a large table with chairs round it made me think this was a dining room.A huge picture of the Greek god and his sisters hung on one of the walls while the other ones were covered with white curtains.This place was magical.How many tones of gold were used in this construction and from where was all of that from?It remained a mystery.

A maid came in:

“Do you need anything?"she asked, staring at the floor.

“Yes.I need to place this in the kitchen"I said, clearing my throat.

“Give it to me,I will drop it for you"she said, stepping forward.

God!how could I learn if I didn't go round?

“Just show me the way,I can do it myself"I answered.She frowned deeply, then nodded.

We went through four corridors, passing other gigantic doors, before we finally reached the kitchen.Just how big was this place?No wonder they had maids for the chores.

I won't lie that the kitchen was amazing.

From the largest things in the room, like the kitchen, sinks to the lowest things in the room, like spoons and forks, were pure luxury.

The number of maids working here was equivalent to the number of workers in Laurel's department of work in my father's company.

Everybody had something to do.Finally finding a way out, I started my exploration round.I couldn't help but gasp in bewilderment every time I discovered a new side of this beautiful place.

Soon I learned more details than expected,I even remembered the house plan.

At some point, my eyes felt the cameras at every corner of the house. Trying my best,I remembered every single detail that could help as a clue.

I even placed clues on huge marbled walls by scratching them with a nearby instrument.It was a bit weird that I wasn't followed, so I thought the cameras must have been monitoring me.

The maids were always smiling and I wondered if it was a trait in the werewolf community.

Remembering I had been out for a long time ,I decided to check on Laurel.I bumped into a maid who obviously had been me.

Our eyes met,she reddened.After moments of hesitation, she turned and left.I wondered if she had been following me around all this time.

Finally, I came back to our room with a lot of information to digest.

Most importantly, I had to look for a way out because security around was high.

Guards stood everywhere, even to the doors of the kitchen.

To my shock, Laurel sat on the bed waiting for me.She smiled weakly.I ran to her and sat down on the soft bed. I hugged her tightly.My sister was OK. Relief filled me.

We had to do something to escape when she was less pale and had gained more strength.

I observed the bedside table,another glass of blood was placed there.I wondered who was this person that cared so much for their prey.

But then the blood was helpful with that,I could help her regain strength.It was time, to tell laurel what I had in mind and the things I had discovered.
