The longest dinner
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56By the time we reached the dining table, everyone was already seated.
Damien's father, Roman was the one sitting on the head chair with a stoic face, he glanced in our direction but said nothing.
Towards his left, Lilith was sitting with a kind smile on her face.
To my surprise, Amber was sitting in front of Lilith, with a condescending smile on her red lips. She gave a small wave to Damien who did not react and proceeded to sit on the end of the table, opposite his father.
There was a new man sitting next to Lilith, he had the same black eyes as her but they were not shining with a smile. He had a bored look on his face, which clearly said he did not want to be here.
Well, that makes the two of us, I said in my head while taking a seat next to Damien.
For a minute I thought we were late but the large antique clock in the room said otherwise. Maybe everyone was too punctual in this family.
The dining room was not what I i

The dark side of the moon Thank you
The middle-aged woman who was trying to serve me the wine was snarling with so much hate glowing in her hazel eyes.I froze in my place as she growled keeping her eyes fixed on me, her canines started growing and her body started shaking.My breath got stuck in my throat the moment she threw a sharp knife that was already in her hand towards me with so much force that it looked blurry.I closed my eyes as my body refused to move.There were gasps in the room.But when I did not feel any pain, I opened my eyes only to witness Damien standing in front of me.He was shaking with anger and even though I could not see his face, the expression of fear on that woman's face told me everything.The woman looked like she had seen a ghost, her eyes were no longer glowing.The knife flew back hitting the woman just over the heart. She screamed loudly, "Mercy, I will never do any such thing again."Damien's father and brother l
The dark side of the moon No one can know
The next day started with Ruhee bringing me breakfast in the room.Apparently, after last night I was not allowed to leave my room without Damien or some other bodyguard but the idea of walking with a stranger following me around sounded bizarre to me.Never thought I would say this, but I was waiting eagerly to go back to Damien's house.Ruhee was sitting quietly looking at the wall with a distant look in her eyes."I am sorry you have to stay inside the room because of me."I moved the knight on the chessboard.She gave a smile, "Don't be sorry. It is good to spend time with you."She moved her last pawn, now her king was not guarded by any pawns."Did you grow up here?" I asked curiously. She seemed to know this palace and even the queen knew her.I moved my bishop two steps to block the next move of her queen."In a way," she gave a short response.Ruhee started twirling the ends of her hair
The dark side of the moon Messing with Luca
I gave a reassuring smile to Ruhee, even though there was a chance of a possible murderer standing on the other side of the door.....or maybe not.I opened the door with Ruhee standing right behind me.Silver was leaning on the door with a grin on his face, showing all the teeth, "Hey, beautiful," he winked in my direction."Silver?""The one and only."I had not seen him ever since we came here even though Amber was always around.He gave a small wave to Ruhee, "Why so glum chum?"Ruhee's cheek turned slightly pink as she shook her head with a smile."What are you doing here?" I asked."I thought you must be bored here.""I can't leave the room without Damien or a bodyguard," I repeat in frustration. The place was new and filled with people I could never trust.He chuckled at this, "C'mon."I gave him a confused look without moving from my place."I will be with you so, it is fine. Besi
The dark side of the moon Not good enough
"I am so sorry."I tried to balance myself by taking the support of the wall, "It is fine.""No, I should have been more careful considering how important this is but it was kinda hard to see where I was going."I stared at the beautiful girl approximately 6 feet tall with rich sun-kissed skin, the raven hair reached her shoulders with the turquoise ends grabbing all my attention. I always wanted to try something bold like that.Her green eyes were focusing on the dress she was carrying, it was completely wrapped making it hard to see what kind of dress was inside.But it must be a gown as she was having difficulty carrying it."Can I help you?" I asked the girl who was lifting the dress high above her head."I am looking for Amber," she tried to give a smile but it came out strained, "this is for her, and I can't let anything happen to this otherwise my boss would freak out."Before I could point her in the right directi
The dark side of the moon A misunderstanding
"I don't care, he can go out with anyone he wants."I put a handful of chips in my mouth."It is okay to care," Ruhee said gently, "you are soulmates and you are supposed to care about each other."I rolled my eyes, "Trust me Ruhee, this whole soulmate situation looks better in your head."She put a chip in her mouth and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Let me put it this way, no relationship is easy unless both partners work equally to make it better. I know you think he is bad but you are not trying to get to know him, you are judging him because of one thing only."I looked at her with no words forming in my mouth."Do you know he went against his father for you?""What?" I asked in a small voice."His parents asked him to stay in the palace with you but he denied because he knew you would have to stay in the room mostly which you would have hated. His father did not give him the throne because of you, he said you are not re
The dark side of the moon Special Lemonade
Things were finally going well, I could not believe I was saying it.I enjoyed the rays of sun shining over the garden, making the flowers glow brightly.Ruhee made her way in my direction with a wide smile on her lips."You look happy," I closed my eyes one more time, putting my head on the wall behind me."I said no to Amber today," she sat next to me with the grin not leaving her lips, "she asked me to go with her to help her in getting ready during the event and the dinner they will have later.""I am proud of you, Ruhee," I took a sip of the mango juice.She took a sip of her orange juice and sat more comfortably on the wooden bench.I stole a glance at her when she was not looking. The girl sitting next to me was slightly more confident than the girl I met when I first came here. Her long light brown hair was in a messy bun, there was a light in her round curious eyes.I ran a hand over the pocket of my jeans
The dark side of the moon Twice
Twice.... someone had tried to murder me twice in one month.I was missing my old boring life.The life where I had to worry about completing assignments on time, not about getting murdered by a werewolf.Even the sound of wind chime could not distract me from the trail of thoughts running inside my head.Damien had to leave in the evening and I would be alone here. The thought was enough to make me sweat.With a sigh, I sat down next to my window staring at the clear sky. Everything felt too dull even in the brightness.The guards standing in the garden were sharing no words with the mouth but many stolen glances were passing between them and they were enough to pass the message.Two knocks with the pause of a few seconds made me look away from the garden. Ruhee was standing near the door with a small smile on her face. The smile was one of the formal ones, that could fool anyone."What's the upda
The dark side of the moon Feeling alive
I stood in my place mentally preparing myself as I stared at my opportunity.Damien sent the guard who stood on the second exit with the girl and he was so busy with his 'interrogation' that it might have slipped his mind or he was confident that I would never try to leave. Either way, it worked in my favor.I waited until the girl with raven hair went inside the house taking two steps at once while bumping here and there on her way.Taking a deep breath in, I checked for any signs of guards around before I ran outside to the car in which she was putting all the clothes and boxes.Everything was filled with dresses and at the back, some huge boxes were stacked upon each other. I didn't think twice and hid under the backseat when I saw her marching towards the car.It was the big moment, either I would be stuck here forever or I might get back my life.I held my breath as the girl put on her seatbelt and increased the volume of the fain

The dark side of the moon I want her
Two weeks had passed. The icy walls of the palace had witnessed the gruesome sight of the murder of the King, Queen of the werewolf kingdom by Lilith and so many other wolves who were murdered by her to achieve the goal. I could not say everything went back to normal because the truth was far away from it. Damien was with me but he was not the same after losing his family. He did not only lose his father that day but his mother too, even though Lilith did not feel the same Damien always loved her like his real mother. Lilith was still in the cells, she would not say anything and would barely eat the food, there was regret in her eyes but it was not for her actions it was for her son. Luca was a whole other story, he was alive only because the dagger did not pierce through his heart but he was unconscious and not healing like he normally should. He survived thanks to the Alpha of the crescent pack, he had some contact with the witches who were ki
The dark side of the moon I can't lose you
"Someone help, GUARDS," I screamed from the top of my lungs but the defeating silence was the only response I got as I ran towards the doorway of the left wing.I stopped running when I caught the horrific sight of guards on the floor with blood pooling around their bodies. There were no other guards in the entire hallway. I had a feeling there were no guards in the palace, if there were, they should have been here by now.I had to reach the main door and warn the guards outside but the time was not on my side, Lilith must be almost healed by now."There she is," a large man screamed running in my way with a wicked smile on his lips.I started running but it was of no use as the man shifted into a sandy wolf midway. I was thrown to the ground, there was nothing I could use to defend myself. Just when I thought my end was near a vicious growl fell into my ears and the sandy wolf turned towards the sound but it was too late for him. A large blac
The dark side of the moon A tragic end of the royal family
Pairs of eyes kept looking at me as I passed the familiar hallway but none of them uttered a word. It was evident in their eyes they wanted to say something but the fear was making them stay silent.I bit the inside of my cheeks and continued walking, barely keeping my excitement to see Damien. I did not know how he would react but it was time for him to know everything....everything about the person who killed his mother. The person who was living with them and waiting to stab them.Two guards were standing at the entrance of the left-wing but other than them no one was there. Damien did not like people entering his personal space and the guards earlier were for my protection when he was not in the palace.I opened the door of the bedroom where the scent of Damien welcomed me. I smiled looking at the flames burning in the fireplace and the chair in front of it.Damien was in the room."Damien, I know this must be a surprise
The dark side of the moon Trouble was around
I loosened my hold on the dagger when the man fell on the ground and Amber was standing behind him with a smirk.She took a large step and extended her hand in my direction. I looked at her hand skeptically and dragged my eyes towards the man on the ground. There were no signs of injury on his body but he was not moving at all."Is he..""Yep," she did not let me complete the sentence."But how..""Burrowed a little gift from your sister," she answered taking her hand away when I stood up without her help."What did you do? If anything happened to my sister..." I pointed my index finger at her.She rolled her eyes, "Relax, I have no interest in getting my nails dirty with the hunter's blood.""What are you doing here?" I kept an eye on my surroundings not trusting Amber. If she was here, it meant trouble was around as well."In case you failed to notice, I saved your life," she ended the sen
The dark side of the moon Who were they?
"So, you have lived there for months," Faith turned her index finger towards Ruhee, "and you, for almost your whole life." "Well, not exactly my whole life but go on." "And yet, none of you know any damn numbers to contact them?" Faith squinted her eyes as she looked between both of us. We were sitting in the airport and Faith was keeping her word to accompany us to the palace. "I didn't have a phone and I have a goldfish memory when it comes to numbers," I defended myself. "I never had anyone to call," Ruhee lifted her right shoulder casually, "I was living in the palace or the mansion, and whenever they needed me to do some work I was there." Ruhee said every word without any emotion. Faith glanced at me and I shook my head slightly, giving her a hint to not continue the conversation. I did not want Faith to ask something that might hurt Ruhee's feelings. "What are you doing?" I tried to peek into Faith's ph
The dark side of the moon I am great at following rules
"You little...""Father, enough...I am ashamed to call you my father. How could you murder a child?" mom yelled furiously. It was the first time I saw her raising her voice at anyone."No. It is all her doing," he pointed his finger at me, "she is on their side, she is working for the filthy creatures. It is their plan. they want to destroy us."Grandpa was trying to make everyone believe his words, his voice held urgency as he stared at everyone begging with his eyes to believe in him."It is not about sides. I just don't want innocents to die....innocents like Adam. The fight between the hunters and werewolves was over ten years ago and you are just trying to start it again. They are not bad people, they have suffered the loss too," but my words meant nothing to him. There was only hatred in his eyes as he looked at me.I inhaled a long breath, "I have lived with them, if they were bad I would be dead a long time ago but those people did everythi
The dark side of the moon Game's over
I knocked on the door and waited for the response while holding my breath."Eleanor, what a lovely surprise," grandpa said in his gruff voice with no sign of emotions on his face.I gave him a tight smile."Are you here to apologize for your barbaric behavior?"I bit my tongue to stop myself from giving him a remark that would not be good for my plan."I am sorry for my behavior, grandpa."I tried to make the words believable but from his squinted eyes I had a feeling I was not much successful."Very well, if you don't mind I am in a hurry."He closed the door and started taking quick steps.I didn't stop him and continued following him, "I know I have made you very upset in the last few days but I want to make up for that.""You are wrong my child, it is not the last few days it is the last few years."I rolled my eyes but kept walking knowing very well where he wa
The dark side of the moon I need your help
"What happened there?""They kept on asking me questions about your soul mate," Ruhee said in her soothing voice, "and I kept on changing the topic.""They didn't hurt you, right?" I asked with worry. I did not want her to suffer more because of my family.Ruhee shook her head with a smile, "Your mother was there the entire time and she did not let them take any extreme measures. In fact, she was not happy with their decision at all."I bit the inside of my cheeks."Get some sleep."I stood up and left the room silently. Ruhee probably did not get the chance to sleep and needed some rest.I did not get much far before Faith stopped me, "El...""Save it," I continued walking."That is not a very nice way to behave with your sister," a gruff voice made me stop.I turned towards grandpa with a frown, "I was not trying to be nice."The corner of his already down lips turned f
The dark side of the moon Do not come back here
The sharp ray of the sun entered through the window, hitting me directly on the face. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around the room in a daze.With a yawn, I stretched my arms getting out of the bed.I rubbed my eyes as I tried to get rid of the sleep after staring at the blank purple wall of my room. But as soon as I remembered about last night my eyes opened wide forgetting everything about sleep.Faith...ice cream."Faith!!" I yelled opening the door of my room not caring if anyone was sleeping or doing some work.I banged my fists on the door of her bedroom, "FAITH OPEN THE DOOR!!"I kept slamming my fist on the door until I heard the sound of footsteps."What is your problem at 7 in the morning?" Faith asked with her eyes closed halfway."What did you do?" I ignored her question."What?""Oh, stop that. I know you added something into my ice cream yesterday when I was
