Chapter 4

ZARA'S POV

"I can't take this anymore. If the Moon Goddess isn't going to help me, then to hell with her. I'm going to help myself before I die", I muttered as I cleaned the tears from my face.

I couldn't explain where I got the surge of courage and strength from, I decided it in my mind. I was going to leave this abysmal palace before it'd have the chance to run me mad or worse, take my life.

I got up from the bed and walked to the door. Gently, I opened it and stuck my head out, peeping through the long hallway. It was empty.

"Good"

I gently stepped out and slowly closed the door, making sure the wooden door didn't make any sounds.

It was well past midnight and everyone had retired to their rooms. I saw no one as I walked down the hallway. It was awfully lonely and cold. As the wind slapped my torn skin, the tingling pain reminded me of the risk I was taking. It reminded me of the possible consequences I could face if anything went wrong, and with the once radical courageous feeling now drastically low, I was scared and considered turning back to endure the hardship.

Maybe it wasn't that bad.

"No. I'm already halfway through the plan. All I need to do is to find an exit apart from the main door in the living area"

I knew the main door and the compound gates would be guarded no matter how little, so I had to find any other means of escape. There were no rails guarding the fences, so I planned on jumping the fence.

"So are you telling me that the miserable princess has been sold off to Alpha Damon?"

Alongside the distant words were approaching footsteps from the corner of the hallway.

I needed to hide quickly!

I frantically searched for a place to hide, and without thinking, I barged into an empty drake room by my left and locked and pushed my weight against the door, hoping it wasn't the same room they were heading to.

“I honestly don't know whether to pity or laugh at her. Nothing good has ever happened to that girl."

“I heard from a friend in that pack that Alpha Damon murdered every single woman that he owned when he was tired of them.”

“Maybe it's better she dies there than here in her own palace…”

And gradually, I heard the footsteps wander away until I could hear no more. I wasn't surprised by their judgements, and it was not going to stop me from getting out of the dungeon. In fact, it only ignited my burning desire to leave.

I slowly got out of the room and hurriedly tiptoed down the stairs. No one was in the living area, and from where I stood, I could see two guards at the main entrance, but thankfully, they couldn't see me from where they stood.

If only I knew where another exit could be located at...

Wait.

"The kitchen!”

I knew there was another door leading outside in the kitchen. But what if there was someone in the kitchen? What explanation was I going to give?

Sending a little prayer to the Moon Goddess, I walked into the kitchen and to my surprise, no one was there. I looked around for a door, and soon sighted one at the extreme end of the kitchen.

I hurried over and I twisted the doorknob, hoping it wasn't locked.

It gave way.

I stepped out, taking one foot after another and making sure I made no sound. The lower fence was at the hidden dark far end of the kitchen

How did I know that?

Well,this particular area is my turf. I usually go there to cry alone or when I need to meet my Boyfriend.

I approached the fence as gently and fast as I could, I was just a few steps away, when I heard strange sounds, not just strange, but weird moaning sounds.

Who had the guts to be having sex in the open in this palace?

It's definitely has to be one of the maids and guards.

I suddenly got curious and what interested me at that moment was to know the people having sex.

I got closer and in view of their faces when my feet’s suddenly stopped dead in its tracks unable to move.

What the hell?

My elder Sister Luna, was bent over, receiving back strokes from my boyfriend Kyle…

“What the Fuck?”
