Chapter twelve
1022 Words
I was standing looking around the room I had spent so many years of my life in.
I looked at my bed and dresser, all traces of me living here, gone.
My dad had came into my room this morning trying to act as if he was not worried out of his mind.
I couldn’t bare the sight of my room in this state. As I made my way towards my parents. I saw my dad with his arms around my mum trying to console her as she cried into him.
As I made them promise not to talk about what would happen to me in that castle but I know still that they would be worried.
I know they knew my life was over, I would live the rest of my days being the possession of the beast.
I heard their frantic whispers at night. I noticed how my mum would try her best to to tear up when she looked at me, my dad tried to spend every waking moment in my presence.
The beast would be here any moment from now, I couldn’t delay saying goodbye anymore. I would have to do it now.
I made my way to my parents, hugging my mum first. I snuggled into her warmth, for all I know this would be the last time I hold my mother. I would miss the comfort and warmth a mother’s hug provided.
I slowly disentangled myself from my mum’s arm, making my way to my dad’s awaiting ones. He hugged me tightly to him, resting one hand on my head and soothing it like he used to when I was a child.
His hand came up to my face, using his thumb to wipe the tears I had not realized were there. I felt my heart tightened when I felt my daddy’s body shaking with sobs.
I pulled away from him, alarmed to see my strong father crying. I held his hands and brought them to my mouth,kissing both hands tenderly and gently asking him why he was crying.
His reply was what broke me and made me despise Alpha even more.
“I am so sorry, I couldn’t protect you Diana. I wasn’t strong enough to protect my own child. I am so sorry my baby doll.”
My dad said, looking down, as if unable to face me.
My heart broke seeing my own father like this, the man who had always protected me, the man who had always been my hero had finally cracked and it was all because of Coinin Dulphus.
I would never forgive the man as long as I would live. I had never hated anyone as much as I hate that man.
“Dad it is not your fault. There was nothing you could have done, perhaps this was meant to happen to me. But daddy you don’t have to worry about me, I am going to be fine, I promise.” I said trying to reassure my father.
He didn’t answer, he just simply pulled me to him again and hugged me tighter this time around. He kissed my head before letting me go.
“We love you very much baby, take care of yourself.” My mum said.
“ I love you both too.” I responded, trying to stop the tears.
My dad opened his mouth to say something but the bell rang. I felt my heart dropped to my stomach, as I looked into The widened eye of my mother.
My dad took a deep breath, going to open the door while my mum pulled me towards her, as if she hoped her arms would save me from the horrifying future that awaited me on the other side of the door.
I peaked over my mum, trying to see if maybe I had been mistaken last time perhaps the monster’s face was as hideous s he himself truly was.
I frowned in confusion as I saw three large serious looking men standing at the door, staring right at me.
“Ma’am, Alpha Dulphus was unable to come. We have come to take you instead.” The tallest of them said.
I let out the breath I was subconsciously holding, completely relieved I would not have to be in a car ride alone with the vile creature I was to live with from now on.
But most of all, it would have killed me if I met him see the tears of my family and I, the effect he had on us. For all I knew it would please him greatly to see our tears and heartache.
I threw a small sad smile at my parents. I whispered a small goodbye to my parents as I made my way to the awaiting car.
I felt the eyes of my neighbors as I walked, trying to contain my tears.
The men were ahead of me and one of them held the door for me as I slipped into the car but not before taking one last look at my home. The place I would forever miss.
The men got in, sitting in the two front rows of the car. Despite my attempts to not cry, I felt one traitorous tear slip as the car begin to roll forward.
I hugged myself to my chest, curling myself into a ball, at the back seat of the car, letting the tears to roll freely down my face.
Much too soon, we had arrived at the castle, and I heard the door next to me open slowly. The guards asking me to step out. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart and swallow the lump in my throat.
I got out of the car, the guards leading me to the door of the castle, I trailed behind them, my head down as the prisoner I rightfully am.
One of the guards led me to my room, choosing to stay quiet. He bowed gently before walking out of the room.
I was left all alone. I closed the door and head to the bed, sobbing in agony.
