8. I See You're Already Awake, Great

your...idiot

Akhanta looked at us in shock, she had an expression that was easy to decipher, envy and then she stormed out of there slamming the door behind us.

And then Alec lessened the intensity of the kiss and gradually released me from the spell he used against me.

As soon as he released me I raised my arm to swindle him but he anticipated my movements and stopped me before I could reach him.

My eyes fixed him angrily, I didn't understand what he meant to kiss me using it like that. On our last date I was laying on his bed ready to give myself to him but he sent me away without at least an explanation. What now??  Now he kisses me like nothing has happened between us these past few days...

Looking into his eyes I could watch him calmly, his intense pair of blue eyes stared at me examining my face and then my mouth and then he pulled me to him and kissed me once more.

In the first moments I struggled in his arms but little by little I weakened as I wrapped myself in the warmth of his arms... I missed feeling his breath against mine, his silly touches, feeling him.

I broke the kiss, I raised my hand again in order to slap him one more time without success, then he held me and lifted me by the shoulders and walked towards his room I struggled on his shoulders and because of the sound of the screams the others vampires came out of their rooms and saw me being carried by Alec, I struggled even more until we got to his room, he soon put me down and closed the door behind him.

I was panting, and even more irritated, he carried me by force.

"Don't kiss or touch me again...ever again" the words said at that moment were full of pain, it was what my mouth said but not what my heart felt, I didn't even know how I could react in the situation in which I am, a prisoner, and now hostage to my feelings.

I looked into his eyes blankly, it was the first time I couldn't read his expression, I didn't want to leave him but it had to be.

Having said that, I turned to get out of there and I broke down in tears, but they weren't the same anymore, they conveyed tiredness, he looked tired but remained confident as always, he looked at me carefully.

I turned to leave and that's when I heard a small bang behind me, I turned almost automatically it was Alec, on his knees on the floor, he seemed unrecognizable with the figure he always seems to have, as soon as I saw him on the ground I ran. I lay down on the floor beside him.

"Alec...I screamed desperately, are you alright?"

"just leave me here and go"

"How do you want me to leave you here?  This?"  You look weak, I looked at him and his skin looked paler than usual, he has lost weight since the last time I saw him " how can I help?"

" Are you going to help someone who keeps you trapped here against your will?  if I die the link will be broken, you will be free"

At that moment I reflected on what he said, his words gave me hope, hope that everything would return to normal...I tried to design a future with this possibility, a future where I could get rid of him and get rid of this curse but I couldn't, I can't just think about me anymore, I got up to ask for help but Alec took my hand and pulled me down and holding my hand tightly he said

"you were waiting for this moment" he looked into my eyes angrily.

"Alec, you're hurting me"

"The right moment to get rid of me and run away at the first opportunity"

  "is hurting me"

"But you won't"

"No Alec I..." he interrupted me and at that moment he pulled my arm and threw me on his bed "what are you doing?"

"Something I shouldn't put off" he walked over and his eyes changed coloring from blue to vibrant scarlet and then walked over to the bed.

I looked at him fearfully, turned around to try to get away but in vain he pulled my foot and turned me around.

I struggled for long seconds in his arms, he tried to stop me but the act made my dress tear at the neckline, he then kissed me hard I turned to try to escape his kisses trying to cover me but he immobilized my arms and then he started to push me kiss one more time passing his tongue over my breasts and up until he reached my neck, after that he made his fangs come out and then he bit one of my arms and then my neck uncontrollably, he sucked my blood until he started to feel the environment to its distant return and gradually lose consciousness.

Hours later...

I woke up in Alec's room, under the care of his servants, once again he left me in this state, the servants stopped cleaning my body when I opened my eyes, so they started to pack their utensils and went out of the room. , only one stayed, she put on my nightgown, it was a beautiful red silk dress, before she could leave I took her arm.

"wait!"  She looked at me startled.

" sorry Mr. Alec prevented me from talking to you"

"You don't need to be afraid, what's your name?"

"Luna" she said shyly

"Luna, what a Beautiful name, you've taken care of me before, thank you so much" she smiled, but her eyes looked hollow.

"I'm sorry for what you've been going through here- she looked at my recent wounds..." I took my arm.

  "I see you went through a lot too" she looked at her bruises and then started hurriedly packing her things.

"I have to go"

"wait tell me how I can get out of here"

"Madam I can't help, once your connection is stronger it's almost impossible to break" the only way is to make him die.

I looked at her in disbelief...So he wasn't lying.

"sorry but I've said too much I need to go" she grabbed her things and quickly left the room.

  Instinctively I got out of bed and I was looking for something sharp, something in yours I could use to defend myself and then I opened a drawer in your nightstand, this drawer had a hidden compartment, I pulled it out and came across a stake as sharp as a sword, it it was wooden but it had the design of a knife, i took it and closed the drawer, i wanted to hide it but i didn't have the courage, i was about to give it back until i heard the door open.

" I see you're already awake, great"
