The Moonlit Desires: Bound by Blood

After they had injected that syringe into my neck, I went unconscious. I don’t know how long I slept but I woke up feeling disoriented and sick. It took a minute for me to piece together again what had happened and where I was. On my left, is a couch and a unique and stylish piece of furniture that combines the warmth of wood with the sleekness of glass and the charm of tiles. It’s a perfect blend of natural and modern elements.

Signing, I lifted my head and gasped instantly. This is not the old creepy house and also not inside Alma’s room. Slowly and quietly I sat upright on the bed despite the pain that shot through my neck. Taking a deep breath, the events of what had transpired out there that day started flashing through my mind……. From Ava and Vincenzo to the death of my parents. Abducted and trapped inside the creepy house and then meeting Alma.

My mind was going into chaos, screaming mentally I held my head. Then that night flashes through my mind, the syringe and finally collapsing into the cold hands of darkness. And suddenly, my eyes widened as if lightning struck my thoughts. I instinctively clutched my chest and quietly started calling my wolf but there was no response from her.

“Why didn’t you people trap her wolf?”

“Her wolf is still active,”

I cried out as realization hit me, did they just suppress Ember, my wolf!!! My heart raced as one hand gripped my chest while the other clenched the fabric beside me. It seems like my voice just attracted someone because suddenly I started hearing footsteps approaching the door. And it clicked in my mind that I was still inside their territory. Maybe I might have some chance of escaping….. This idea clicked in but I knew it was futile yet I bargained on it. Sliding off the bed immediately I heard the doorknob being twisted. Using my eyes, I scanned the room instantly and luckily there was a door on the other side of the room. I stood up and rushed toward it and immediately the door was pushed open, I ran away through the other entrance.

“Hey, get her!!!” I heard a deep familiar voice growling. Ignoring him I started running to the extent that my legs could carry me.

I opened the next door and stepped into another floor of the building, every wall was coated in shiny white color. I twisted my head sideways for an escape and that’s when I noticed something: a small room that moves up and down like magic, carrying people to different floors of a building. I can see a few people walking inside, it’s like a vertical car for going between levels. Catching a glimpse of another available one, I quickly rushed out of my hidden spot and hurried inside.

My eyes hurriedly glanced at the entire place in an instant before my eyes stopped at the multiple buttons suited at the side of the small room. I gaped at the buttons in confusion not knowing what to do, slowly stretching out my hands and reaching to touch the button when suddenly a thick voice quickly echoed in the hallway, catching me off guard.

“This way!! She is in the elevator,” the same familiar voice. I felt a vest of adrenaline coursing through me and my hand quickly pressed the green button and suddenly the door started closing. Wow!!…… I gasped, my eyes widened in shock. This is kinda like a magic lift! You just step inside, press a button, and whoosh, off you go!

I signed and leaned back at the wall, so this is called an elevator…… Despite the luxury in our pack, we didn’t have this. I smiled and took a deep breath and was happy that I had outrun them.

I watched as the elevator closed up and was about to move when suddenly out of nowhere, it instantly stopped and the door was forcefully pushed open, revealing the same grey-eyed man again. I gasped in shock, my eyes widening in fear as I looked up to see the devilish smirk on his lips.

I tried to charge at him when it bounced back in my head that my wolf was now suppressed, I was more like a mere human in front of him. Immediately, I turned, snapping my head to each side for an escape but unfortunately, there was only one entrance which was where the demon was standing when looking at me with a dangerous smile knowing fully well that I was helpless at this moment.

I wanted to growl at him but I couldn’t do anything when I saw him start striding forward, I fearfully took a step back till my back hit the vertical wall. My heart was heaving up and down as I stood there waiting for my doom!

He walked up and stopped in front of me, his gaze ran through me as he quietly studied me and just then I heard him growl out an order. “Seize her…..!!!’

Seven men hurried inside, all dressed in corporate clothes, despite their bulky physique, their faces seemed younger……. Typical vampire genes! They grabbed me, I wanted to at least struggle and give them a tough time in arresting me but my strength was no match to theirs, and looking up outside the elevator, I noticed another group of men all dressed in the same attire standing around there.

So one thing is certain, for me to behave myself and allow them to take me wherever they want. I quietly followed them till we reached a black door, and the grey-eyed man stepped forward. He gave me a long look before pushing the door open.

However, we entered the room, and I gritted my teeth as the guards forced me down to my knees. And in front of me was a tall, bulky man standing in front of a huge panoramic glass window with a stogie in between his fingers. His back was turned on us.

” King Alessandro, she is here,” the same grey-eyed man announced with a slight bow beside him.

King….. What?? Alessandro……. My heart skipped instantly in fear as I immediately stopped struggling to free myself, and my gaze widened as I almost choked on my breath. It seems as if everything just stopped working at that moment, every fiber in my body and the blood flowing in my veins seemed to stop as the name re-echoed in my head repeatedly.

Alessandro Leonardo, how? What have I done to warrant me to share the same breathing space with this bloody viper? Do I really have to die a painful death?

And at that moment, he slowly started turning and for the first time since I was caught by them, I felt fear and shock overrun my decision.

Who hasn’t heard a story about Alessandro Leonardo? Growing up as a child I have heard horrible tales about him, he was said to be a ruthless, brutal, and merciless blood-sucking monster. He was tagged the most awful and ugliest fat-looking creature on earth but I guess it was because people don’t normally know how he looks in person.

He stopped, facing me and I got to see his full face. Fuck……. the word ugly! Because this demigod in front of me looks like he has just been sketched out from the world-famous magazine.

“Is she the one?” Hearing the deep thick murderous voice, I slowly lifted my head and immediately our eyes met and locked. I could see the shock in his widening eyes, which was quickly transformed into a cold, disgusted, and irritated expression.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
