I looked up at the man sitting on a red velvet chair placed upon the stairs and I heard murmurs among the people sitting around me. I tried to stand up and I had frown.
"Excuse me?!" I exclaimed trying my best to sound tough. The murmurs increased."Are you sure you want to use that tone to talk to me, my lovely Luna?" He asked in a rather dark tone and my knees started shivering."What tone do you think I should use?" I said as my voice came out shaky.I looked up at him and he was fuming. His eyes turned golden and his fist were clenched tight on his knees."Dismiss." He ordered in a heavy tone and everyone rushed out of the hall as if scared of the man and just wanted to save their lives. The huge door behind me closed and the man stood up from his throne, making his way to me.My legs, as if having their own mind, took several steps back as he kept getting close to me. He reached to me before I could break the eye contact and run and grabbed a fist of my hair pulling my face close to his."You've become so untamed, Omega. How dare you raise your voice?!" He gritted his teeth tightening his grip on my hair.My legs shivered violently and I lost my balance before his hand grapped my waist, holding me in place and glued my body to his chest."Who...who are you?" I managed to say and his eyes turned red.How was that possible?"Your eyes..." I looked into his eyes which kinda hypnotised me. Even though hey looked scary but they attracted me somehow. For a second, I forgot that I was scared and I was kidnapped."Yes, Luna." He said in a softer tone and my heart skipped a beat. His voice sounded like honey flowing on my body. Tickling and warm."Yuna." I corrected him rather calmly. My voice was shaking anymore and I looked deep into his eyes as they turned bright golden."I know, Luna." He said with a slight frown and his grip my hair loosened. "Are you okay?" He added massaging my head softly.And when I realised what I was doing, I quickly pushed him away and took a few steps back. "Why am I here?" I asked.His jaw clenched and he looked as if he was trying his best to hold his anger back. I gulped and took a deep breath."Luna, my Luna. What's wrong with you lately?" He said trying his best to sound gentle but the rage couldn't be hidden.Lately? My skin went pale with the memory of last time when I saw myself surrounded by my enemies and me being a complete strange place with my sister and me looking so different in a huge photo frame.As the realisation hit me, my breath got uneven and fell on my knees."Yuna!" He kneeled beside and held my shoulders while I tried to keep my breathing but it was impossible. I felt anxious suddenly and my lungs were contrasting with each second.He spoke as his voice sounded panicked, "Did I do something, Luna?" He pulled me close to him and the next thing I knew, I was in his arms being rushed outside.My mind was floating with unfamiliar images of my life and my breathing was getting shallower as I felt suffocated. I was in a panic attack.He yelled at some people which I couldn't understand and then I felt something soft touching my back before my shut down.I woke up again when I felt a warm hand slipping and holding mine and other warm hand caressing the back of my hand. I slowly opened my eyes to see the pair of blue eyes looking down on me."Ash..." I whispered. My husband looked back at me and smiled while kissing my knuckles and sighed."How are you, Yun?" He asked me in a softer tone and I recalled what happened before passing out.I tried to sit up and stabalise myself and looked at the man who was dressed in a royal suit with buttons closed. His ocean blue eyes were not soft but sharp orbs which showed immense power and dominance. His facial features were a lot different than my husband but they still look so alike.He looked like my husband but he was nothing like my husband.He had the same name, same face and even same way of calling me accept for the word Luna that he kept using, but he was still different."I'm okay..." I muttered and looked down at my other hand.He held my other hand and brought it close to his face kissing the knuckles and smiled at me."Why am I here?" I asked him, knowing that the last time I was with my friends before someone decided to enter my ward and play hide and seek."This is where you belong, Luna." He answered."My name is Yuna. What's wrong with you?" I almost yelled at him. I had such a simple name. Never did anyone take my name wrong and this annoyingly handsome man had been calling my name wrong constantly."I know! Why are you being weird?" He answered with another question and I was speechless.I forgot that I needed to be careful with every word that I say and not let anyone know how I came here. I don't even know what happened to the real soul of the Yuna if I was in her body."I'm sorry. I'm just... I don't know what's wrong with me." I sighed and looked up, closing my eyes."That's okay. You need rest." He leaned forward and suddenly kissed my forehead before smiling at my face. Who is this guy?He left me alone and closed the door while I stayed in place thinking about any loophole. But there wasn't any. I don't remember how I got wherever I got.It hadn't been long that I was about to doze off in that cozy luxurious room, I heard the door click open and I hastily took a defensive stance. In a hurry I took anything as a form of weapon I could and managed to grab a beside table lamp.I stood up on the bed when my eyes landed on a man who wore a navy blue suit enter with a mad face and messy hair walk in. I frowned at his appearance while he was fuming with anger."What are you doing here?" He whispered-yelled before walking inside and did not forget to close the door behind him and securing it with a lock."What do you mean?" I carefully questioned reminding myself not to ask him who he was assuming that he already knew me. "Don't play dumb! Why did you return?" He gritted his teeth while keeping his ground."I don't understand! What did I ever promise to you?" I repeated. If I had to have a conversation with this I needed to know what this body's owner did before I took her place. "You promised to leave lord Astrid alone and
I looked at my mate into the eyes and answered with a question, "Are you, perhaps, making fun of me?" He chuckled making it sound like bells in my ears and stretched his hand. I looked at his palm and held him before he helped me stand up."Sorry, I'm just tired right now." I said. I was honestly tired and clueless. I didn't know what to do than going with the flow. "It's okay." He replied and took me to bed. I couldn't imagine my first encounter, which was probably few hours ago, was with this same man. "Luna, is there something you wanna tell me?" He asked.I looked at his sharp eyes wondering if he saw anyone leaving since it wasn't much long until that man was gone and he arrived. Should I tell him? I wondered.He face held no expression at one point when I stayed quiet."Who came here?" He asked again, this time his voice was cold. I thanked any almighty blessing me that I was sitting on the bed or I'd have fallen down by now."N...no... no one..." I stuttered badly under his ga
I was laying quietly on my bed, my eyes fixed outside the window on the pretty snowfall. I couldn't help but think about my sister at all times.Where is she? Is she doing okay? The frame that I saw was not what she looked like. She looked older for an 18-year-old. It wasn't normal.That man from earlier seemed to have something against me. Did the owner of this body make any kind of deal with him? And he called me a traitor. What did I do Astrid or him? "Ugh." I threw my head back on the headboard and looked at the front where I saw a white curtain in front of a wall....Which was wierd.What does that curtain even hiding on a plain wall? Curiousity getting the best of me, made me stand from my place and made my way to the curtain and slowly tried to slide it when I heard a knock."Luna, may I come in?" A lady spoke from the other side. I close the curtain properly and turned towards her."Yes." I replied and the door was clicked open and a lady in a long ball gown and long apron up
In the chirping nightAstrid's POVMy eyes stayed on the ceiling as I laid on the bed in my room, but today the person I held in my embrace was holding me back while the soft snores that came from her assured me that she was sound asleep.I smiled pulling her closer and closed my eyes. I knew I couldn't sleep for long when I heard a knock on the door which snapped my eyes open. I gently pulled out of the entrance and tucked Yuna properly who snuggled with the pillows and I wore my long robe before opening the door."Sorry, My Lord, but your father has called upon a meeting." My Butler Bose said while bowing a little bit."Now?" I asked."Yes, My Lord." He answered in a low tone. I looked back at my sleeping mate and sighed. She had a smile which was alluring and calling me near her to snuggle into her embrace and kiss her lips and cuddle her until the time resumes but sadly, I had to leave.I looked at Bose and nodded."Let's go."I followed Butler Bose after closing the door behind
The next morningAstrid's POVToday could become an important day for the kingdom. We may or may not be able to hunt down the killer of the town who kidnapped Yuna's sisters four months ago when she, allegedly, came here to something regarding Yuna. Gabriella had talked to one of the old ladies who lived in a small house in the kingdom about meeting my father, Lauren Kessler when she mentioned the whereabouts of Yuna and even her reason for leaving the kingdom and me.But before she could even approach the Palace, she was abducted and the old lady was killed in her house. The granddaughter, being helpless, only said that she knew Gabriella knew about Yuna.Since then, our doubts have been stuck on the killer of the town we could not trace and hence we formed a secret committee for such discussions and we would meet once a month to hear about any progress regarding this case. The committee groups held a few of my trusted men and my father's brothers. Nobody knew that Yuna had been fo
The town hallAstrid's POVThe whole room seemed more silent than it already was after the head soldier's words."Are you listening to yourself, head soldier?" I glared at the shivering man standing in his place while his head was in the front, trying his best to stay still. I never wanted to scare any of my people but the words that he chose to say and the person he blamed was my brother and there was no way I could take that indifferently."Please forgive my, My Lord. But this is what my wife saw. She saw your brother, Lord Ulfred talking to the man in disguise when he walked out of the old lady's house early in the morning." He answered.As if on cue, my father entered the town hall with his gaurds surrounding him and he looked at me and slightly frowned before coming back to his straight face and sat beside me. He followed my eyes and looked at the head soldier who was sweating under my gaze but looked at the front."Head soldier, please be seated." Father said and the head soldie
An afternoon in the PalaceYuna's POVI walked around the huge luxurious room I was staying in since I was not allowed to go anywhere. I looked out the window and saw a garden in the front which had colourful flowers and the morning wet grass was glistening under the sun. I saw little squirrel running and following each other while making noises and shaking their tail along while the butterflies kept themselves busy flying around the flowers.It was a comfortable day and I had my breakfast just a few minutes after I took a warm shower. The weather was cold even though it was a bit sunny today and not snowing. I looked at the curtain again and thought about opening it once to see what is that hiding behind. Is there even something that's hidden? I made my way to the curtains again and slid it open in one go only to find me smiling in a huge photo frame.Astrid's hand wrapped around my arms and I held his wrists while he kissed my head from the side and my eyes were closed with a huge
Deep down in the DungeonYuna's POVWhen I woke up, it took me a lot of time to realise that it were not my closed eyes but the whole place was dark.I tried to make sense about my surroundings but I could only grasp that my hands were tied behind my back and legs were tied together as well.The sound of the door clicking open echoed in this empty room someone flashed a torch on my face and I turned my head with the sudden invasion to protect my eyes."She's awake. Inform this to the Alpha." The man in his deep voice commanded to someone else and I could hear the footsteps walking away."You messed up a big time, Luna. I respected you a lot and I regret standing by your side for three years." The man said and left. I could not see his face but from his voice I understood that he was sad and on the verge of crying.I did not understand any situation and I was shocked that the memories which were not mine flashed before my eyes just when someone stirred about this body's owner's past a
