All Chapters of The dark side of the moon: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"Damien's mother," I whispered letting the truth soak slowly in my brain. It was the reason for his hatred towards me. But how was it right to punish me for something I had no idea about. No wonder he wanted Amber. Just thinking about them created a sour feeling in my chest. The memory was still too fresh to be forgotten."I am sorry. You really had no idea about this." Emily's voice reminded me of her presence in the room. She was sitting quietly observing me, probably thinking what would be the right words to tell someone who just found out the secret linking her soulmate and her hometown."I feel so stupid. How did I not see it," the words were not meant for her, they were meant for me to realize how I sat in my room with eyes closed from reality. The dinners, all the get-togethers for old families of the town they were not just dinners where everyone chatted about their everyday lives."It's not your fault,

"Damien," I said in a low voice as the hurricane of emotions started spinning inside me.For a while, I was sure it was just a dream. The man sitting on the couch with his chin resting on his fist while he looked at me silently with a blank face.  He stood up slowly taking his time. He was wearing a well-fitted black suit just like always. The time seemed to slow down as I stared into his icy eyes. With every step, he took in my direction I started feeling like prey in front of a predator. "Nora," came his dark husky voice sending goosebumps on my skin.I tried to read the emotions hiding perfectly in his eyes. But I could not focus on anything under his intense gaze. I closed my eyes as he reached in front of me waiting for the worst. Damien's anger must be reaching the sky. But what I was not expecting happened. I felt his strong arms around me, I took a slow breath inhaling the scent of his spicy

Another wave of silence swept away the words from the room leaving nothing but the sound of my shallow breaths. "What will I get?"  He walked towards the bookshelf taking his time, "What you wanted the most....your freedom." I licked my dry bottom lip. Was it one of his games?  But more importantly, was I willing to play? "What are you talking about?"  He removed a book from the second row and opened it, "You will get your old life back. You can achieve everything you wanted to and this will just be like a dream for you " I bit the inside of my cheeks nervously.  Did I trust him enough to fall for those words? But what other choices did I have?  "How should I know this is not one of your lies?"  He chuckled turning a page, "You don't but this is your best chance of getting out of here." He was right. I had no idea of knowing if he was lying or not. But was I willing

I was standing in front of the room where I stayed the last time I was in the palace. Just when I was about to open the door, the same guard from earlier came towards me. "The prince has sent me to give you a message, you are staying in the room next to the one where you previously stayed."I gave him a skeptical look wondering if he was telling the truth or not. I tried my best to find the lie on his blank face but failed miserably. Reluctantly I turned to walk away hoping I was not walking into a trap. I put my hand on the knob to open the door but paused to look at the guard in the hallway, only to find it empty.That's not weird at all.I opened the door but my feet turned to ice when I stepped into the completely different part of the palace.The icy walls were grey in the room, too grey that they looked black but had the same gold borders with delicate patterns. It was bigger than the room I stayed in, with a l

I was standing in front of the rainbow of flowers. Different colors of flowers covered every inch of the ground. The boundary consisted of the flowers arranged in the rainbow pattern. A narrow path of large stone led to a table made of marble with two chairs around it. Inhaling the aroma of flowers I looked at Damien with a grin, "This is beautiful.""My mother used to spend most of her time here. She made this, it was her favorite spot in the entire garden," Damien explained with a warm smile on his lips but a sad look in his eyes.I felt a thorn stabbing my heart as I remembered Emily's words."I am sorry, Damien, I had no idea that the hunters of Greenpine were involved in..." I could not complete the sentence. "It's not your fault, Nora.""How can you be so understanding? Were you never upset after finding out I was from that town," I lowered my voice while saying the last part."I was," Damien said dryly,
