THE MOON COURT

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 

Charlotte POV 

I hit Greysons back and try to get a sense of where I am, but I’m so confused when I see the marble floors and strange walls filled with water. No it’s not all the walls, it’s a tank and something is staring at me. 

I go still as I see the fin and the most beautiful face I have ever seen. Suddenly the creature swims to the top and I can’t see where it went.

Greyson finally puts me down and I try to slap him, but he only grabs my hand and smirks at me.

His eyes bore into mine. 

“Don’t even try Princess,” 

As I try to turn and make a run for it but feel something come around my feet and hold me in place.. I look down and a little scream escapes me when I see the small black dwarf holding my legs. 

“Please don’t scream princess! I am so excited to meet you!” it says and I realize it must be a kid as I stare at its big green eyes.

Greyson chuckles and then I hear someone approaching from the left.

“I thought we were going to talk to her tonight?” Simon’s voice makes me want to rip his throat out. The f*****g traitor. 

I glare at him as he and the Fey woman from before comes to stand next to Greyson. 

“Kiara sent Greyson to go check on her and I guess he thought she was ready,” an unfamiliar voice says from right behind me and I feel a shiver run down my back. 

“I did send him yes, I trust him,” the woman I presume is Kiara says and I slowly turn my head to get a look at the newcomer, but she wasn’t there anymore.

Greyson looks over his shoulder and that's when the most beautiful woman comes walking towards him. Completely naked. 

It’s the creature from before, but she has legs now? She must be a mermaid. 

I stare at her trying to figure out how come I thought they were more west in the Moon Court. The mermaids are almost instinct, because of their war with the warlocks back on earth more than four centuries ago. 

“My love,” she says as she kisses Greyson on the cheek as she presses her naked form against his back side. She wraps her arms around him and I see him relax immediately and take one of her hands in his. 

“Where is she?” he asks and I see his eyes flicker back to the tank. 

“Still asleep,” the woman answers and I realize Simon is as red as a tomato as his eyes flicker towards the naked woman. 

“Could you atleast put something on!” 

“I thought werewolves were sensual animals and Simon, you of all people should know they are naked almost all the time,” she winked at me and I just stared at her. Her skin was light and dark as if she must have had parents with different skin tones. Her big eyes are the lightest colour violet I have ever seen and her high cheekbones and black dark hair that almost touches the ground made her look like a real life goddess. 

“My name is Otto!” the little dwarf says and hugs my legs even tighter and I only nod and turn my eyes back to the mermaid. Mermaids are deadly creatures. They all have different powers, from mind reading to mind control, they could make you do anything with the touch of their hands. But the ones in the direct bloodline of the royals. I try to remember their name and feel slightly relieved when I remember my grandfather telling me that the royals haven’t been seen since the war, but then she says the words that makes my stomach drop. 

“My name is Enya Golavina,  I could hear you thinking of my family and to answer your question yes I am one of the last remaining,” she says and suddenly walks towards me, but I try to move, but the goblin holds me in place. What the hell? How was he so strong?

“I can’t let you go, sorry Princess this is my job,” I glare at him and see him frown. 

I look back up at Enya and glare at her in warning. 

“Don’t come any closer! If you touch me I will rip your arm off!” 

“Oh so were are not being civilised I see! If I touch you little girl you will do exactly what I want,” she says and I see SImon and Kiara’s eyes widen. 

“Enya! That is enough!” Kiara warns and grabs the Mermaid's arm making her hiss in disapproval. 

“She thinks my husband is desirable,” she says and my mouth almost drops open as Greyson’s eyes flicker towards me. 

“And yes that is his real face and he was only messing with you in there!” The mermaid says and my eyes flicker to the floor and I feel Simon come stand next to me. 

“Maybe Greyson and I can persuade you in the bed chambers to work with us and give you the experience I think you need!” her words make me almost gasp out loud. Did this woman just ask me to have a threesome? Where the hell am I?

“She has a mate, leave her alone right now!” Simon's words make me go very still. 

“What?” I say and as Simon's eyes finally meet mine and he looks like he wants to die as Kiara comes and drags him and the Mermaid away to somewhere behind me. 

“Otto you can go see what Ariella is doing,” Greyson says and little Otto suddenly lets go of my legs and then I feel a hand press against my shoulder. 

“You will come and sit and listen to what we have to tell you,” the mermaid's voice makes me go still and I can’t control my legs as I start to move towards a strange round table standing in the middle of a room filled with weapons on all the walls. The smell of the ground makes me realize we must be underground. 

As I sit down on one of the chairs I glare up at the mermaid that is now dressed in the same strange leather as the others, but it’s the same colour as her eyes. A strange violet purple. 

“That was not necessary,” Greysons says as he comes to take a seat next to me. 

“I think it was,” Kiara says as she comes to sit on the opposite side with Simon. The mermaid takes the seat on my left and I see there are two four empty seats remaining. I wait for the others to come, but nothing happens. 

“They died,” Enya says and I hate that she is still reading my mind 

I glare at her and she only smirks at me. 

“Ok let’s eat so everyone can calm the f**k down!” Simon says and with the snap of his finger food of all sorts appears on the table and everyone doesn’t even hesitate when they dig in. I just stare at the food for a moment and then I try to stand up again, but nothing seems to work. 

“I don’t know what you want from me, but you are handling this situation very poorly if you think that I will ever care about what you are going to tell me after handling me like some kind of slave!” I say and suddenly Enya turns my chair towards hers. 

“You don’t have any idea what a slave is! You have been sitting in that castle protected by your family your entire life and not even they know how we’ve protected the people of the realm! If you want to know what a slave looks like  ask Greyson, he’s been one since he was in his mothers womb! Listen to what we have to say and then if you have any sense of what is difference between what is right and what is wrong. You can decide if what we did was for nothing or worth it!” 

She is about to turn my chair, but before she can I don’t know what comes over me, but I spit her right in the face. 

“What’s wrong is taking someone’s free will from them!” 

Enya slowly wipes her face and is about to charge at me, but we both swing our heads around when  we hear Greyson chuckling. 

“You think this is f*****g funny!” his wife shouts and he then laughs even harder. Enya rolls her eyes and throws the napkin that she just used to wipe her face at him. She suddenly starts laughing too. Oh no I’m surrounded by insane people. 

Greyson comes over and hugs Enya and I see there are tears welling up in her eyes. 

‘I know,” Greyson says and I feel even more confused as I see tears welling up in all of their eyes. 

“Can we please eat! Char I promise you it’s not poisonous,” I only glare at him but my stomach betrays me as it growls and even that makes Kiara laugh.
