All Chapters of THE REJECTED LUNA : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"What took you so long Catherine?" She sensed the anger in her father's eyes, her side eye sighted Alex and the fear in him made her chuckle. "What's funny?" Don was dumbfounded by his daughter's character, the more he tried to be close to her, the more she proved difficult. Raising her without a mother had been difficult, her mother had died of internal bleeding barely a year after she had brought Catherine into the world. "Nothing, was weird why you would want to see me by this time". "I have the right to call you whenever I want Catherine, you can't be bigger than me". He hissed. "Now tell me what's going on between the staff and you?" "Dad I don't know". She gave him an innocent look. "Stop the pretense, Eden told me what transpired". "That bitch!" She murmured to herself, no wonder she couldn't look her in the face when she served the juice, her father must have interrogated Eden. Catherine knew her father better than anyone and she knew Eden had told him everything.

"Run Catherine run". She panted heavily as she found herself running to the listening of her father's voice. She felt on a rock almost hitting her teeth on it, she turned around to see the creature who had faced her directly. It was a wild animal she and her father had stumbled into when when they went hunting. It opened its wide mouth as it was ready to pounce on her. *** "Are you okay?" Catherine felt something cold and liquid on her body, the moment she woke up, she discovered she was in the middle of nowhere. A man stared at her closely, she slapped him almost immediately. "Don't look me that way". She shunned him when she realized she had a nightmare. "I was trying to help". He innocently explained. "Where's the cave?" She asked as her eyes searched all over for the cave, she recognized the forest but the cave wasn't there. "There's no cave here". The man lightly touched her shoulder which infuriated Catherine, he talked to her out of pity which embarrassed her. The colo

Catherine lay still on the bare ground with her eyes shut, her breathing had become stable and the wolf's bane had finally worn off completely. Gradually she opened her eyes and looked ahead although she could not see anything. She trailed her hands on the ground as she headed for the door blindly. The door had a little open patch on it where the tiny ray of light oozed from outside. Here, she put one eye as she looked through to see if anyone was around the door. She studied the environment for a while counting every second that someone passed by, identifying the person from their footwear. She knew that the guards had uniformed boots and the non-guards had fancy leather shoes, some had flowing robes that covered their shoes. At the brisk of dusk, the maid would bring in her dinner, Catherine knew this and so she laid back on the floor with her eyes shut as if she was still in the influence of the wolf's bane. She heard the door latch and then the creaks from the metal door and the

She winced and held her head as soon as she opened her eyes. She did not know how long she had been out. Catherine looked through the small opening of the carriage by the time she had fully woken up. She could only hear the voices of the men but could not see anyone as it was already completely dark. “Let's camp here for the night. Feed the horses and take them to the stream for water.” The leader instructed one of the men. Catherine was pulled out from the carriage just after they had brought out the rest of the slaves in the other carriages and tied them together. “Let go of me.” She resented and freed herself from their grip although her hands and legs were bonded so she could not properly move. “Come here.” The man forged towards her but she nudged him with her shoulders. The man held her firmly and pulled her until she fell to the ground. The men distributed some yeast bread and a plate of stew each for the slaves including Catherine. "I don’t want your food. What kind of foo

The girls looked up to the door as the men pushed it open and walked in but there was a different man in their midst. He had a posh look, probably a middle-aged Dutchman. He whispered in the ears of Raphael who only smiled and led the way to the girls. Some of the girls moved backwards as the men approached them but Catherine had no fear in her. The tranquiliser was completely worn off and so she was back to her normal self. Although her wolf’s side had still not returned. The man looked at the face of every girl but found Catherine different as she did not depict any iota of fear.“You, what's your name?” He pointed at her but Catherine pretended like she had not heard him. Raphael rushed towards her and forcefully pulled her up, "Did you not hear this man?”“No violence, no violence.” The Dutch said, “ I am a man of peace. They are just like us and deserve to be respected.” He walked slowly as he approached her. He roamed his hand on her shoulder up to her face but Catherine acted l
