CHAPTER 10 SASHA VAHEMIR "I will embark on a little trip next week", Davil announces to us as we sit in the living room. "Your monthly trip? I am starting to think you have a secret girlfriend. Her name is Vi-", he toss a throw pillow at me to prevent me from completing my statement and I catch it on time and then burst into laughter. "You better not be dating someone. You will be wedding Beatrice soon", mum reminds him as she flips through a magazine. I and Davil exchange looks as I mimic her, Davil burst into laughter. When mum closes her magazine and Davil tries to hide his laughter, mum rolls her eyes and sips from her glass filled with blood. "Kids", she drops the cup and goes back to her magazine. I sip from my own glass and gulp the entire blood. My black vein pops out and I shut my eyes enjoys the thrill the blood causes. Taking blood gives me a sense of fulfillment and strength. I love it. "And yeah, the Bahedia begged to have a meeting with you, Sasha-" "Why?", I sco
AIDEN BAHEDIA "I am fine. Where is mum?", I try to get off the bed and Alex push me back into the bed. "Calm down -" "Alex -" "Aiden please", I fall back into the bed and my stomach hurts. I manage to sit up after the struggles. "She has changed. She is not the soft hearted Sasha we knew. Beatrice broke her", he voices out his thoughts as he stares into the air. "I was short of words when I saw her. I wanted nothing more than to hug her and confess my undying love to her and tell her how much I missed her and felt empty ever she went exile. But her aura, her aura was calm at first but her aura became darker like she had a dark side she is trying so badly to hide. I hate to see it. Her stares when my mum and I ran to the Luna was something I have never felt before, it was nerve wrecking. Even Davil was surprised but he dare not defile her. What happened to her during that five years? It can't be just Beatrice ", his gaze slowly turns to me as he waits
SASHA VAHEMIR "How is Mrs Bahedia?", I ask one of the servants. "She is in her room", she answers. "Open the door", the door opens and I enter inside. She is peacefully lying down, her room is tidy and there is food for her on a stool at the end of the bed. There is a table and chair at the end of the room and a min fridge below the table. I walk to her and place my hand on her neck and notice she is having fever. Her body is hot. I roll my eyes, I really wanted to have fun. I had a million torture mapped out in my head but seeing her now, seeing her in this state I can't help but pity her. The moment she acted like a mother to me when I visited her plays in my head and I am conflicted. I am struck between discipline her for every heart ache I felt, discipline her for raising such horrible kids and treating her the best I can and repay her for been kind to me. I play with my mouth and look away when I came to a conclusion. I swirl and the servant bowed her head. "Get my study
AIDEN BAHEDIA "Future Alpha, the Luna is home", one of the guards announces to me after I gave him the instructions to come into my room. I jump out of my bed and outside my room, through the hallway, down the stairs and I halt when I see my mum hale and hearty. My lips widen into a smile as I run to her and engulf her in my embrace. She doesn't pull away, she hugs me tight and I am immediately grateful to Sasha. "I don't understand. You are not to come back until next tomorrow. Why? And you are stronger. I don't understand", I pull away and she caresse my cheek and I shut my eyes as I enjoy the feeling of her hand on my cheeks. "Let your mum rest-" "Rest? No need for rest, Davil and Mrs El Mushacr took really good care of me. And perhaps there will be no rest for me until after the wedding", my dad places his hand on her back and leads her to the sofa as they both sit down. "Which wedding?", I arch an eyebrow in an honest confusion. "Your wedding, silly", mum places her head
SASHA VAHEMIR Everyone is seated in the dinning room waiting for food to be served. Beatrice is back and bruised. I wish they held her for a day longer, I need a little time to soak up the peace and quiet. Mr and Mrs Bahedia is seated at Aiden's left hand while Seb, Beatrice and Alex are sitting at my right hand side. Why haven't the food been brought yet and why are their eyes fixated on me? Were they waiting for me to arrival before instructing the maids to cook? Mrs Bahedia coughs before speaking, "Sasha darling, are you just waking up?" "Yes, Mrs Bahedia", they all shut their eyes and look away disappointed. "Am I missing something? Should I have woken up by 2am? I don't understand" "How would you? You wanted to become a Luna so fast without realizing the responsibilities that comes with it. Who knew you were not only powerless but daft as well -" "Aiden-" "It is Alpha now, Alex. I should be addressed as Alpha", Aiden shoots and everyone is surprised at his outburst and I
Aiden Bahedia "Where are you?", Davil asks me on phone as I walk down the curvy stairs excitedly. I am excited that I will get to see Davil and mum. I miss my bed and my life back home. When I go home, I'd go to club later in the evening. I miss that alot. The voices are starting to get really loud. I see Aiden seated with his legs crossed and newspaper in his hands. He seems to be engrossed in whatever he is reading that he doesn't acknowledge my presence and I am grateful. I walk to the door and the guards stop me from getting through, they obstruct me. I bite my lips and let out a deep breath hoping it is enough to ease off the anger I am feeling. I spurn around and I walk over to Aiden. I grab the newspaper from his hand and tear it and place my hands on my waist. He gives me death stares and I ignore it. "Tell your henchmen to let me out-" "Why?" "I don't need to tell you where I am headed to-" "Okay then ", I pull him by his shirt and he stares blankly at me and then h
Aiden Bahedia "Hey Bahedia", Davil startles me as I take my usual stroll around the mansion. I tilt my head and see him comfortably seated. He is too comfortable for a visitor, his legs are crossed as he sips a glass of blood, beside him is no one other than Sasha. Her lips is growing a wide smile. She really loves getting on my nerves and I can't even hide how irritating her presence is and how much I loathe her smiles. They are both seated at the garden under a shade. With different glass of blood and half cooked chicken. Behind both of them are guards, I sigh and sit. I wasn't given a heads up. This is my territory. The fact that your sister is bearing my last name does not give you the liberty to disrespect me. "Calm down, Bahedia. I am not here to fight. We are in laws now", he grins and I cast a sidelong glance. "That is how he is, Brother. His guard is always up when he is around us. One will think he is scared or maybe it is something kids of nowadays call it, inferiority
SASHA VAHEMIR "Stand up from there", mum urges as I lie on the bed, my legs spread wide open. "Why must you act like a child? Davil drag your sister off the bed", mum stroll back and makes way for Davil who jumps on my body making me Yelp and turn to the side while holding unto my stomach, it stings. "How did I tell a child to help out a child?", she rolls her eyes and hiss. I and Davil exchange stares and tried to stifle our laughter in order to prevent mummy from scolding us even more. I sit up and Davil rest his head on my laps while I play with his hair. "Mum, come on. We missed her -" "She just got married three days ago. Don't encourage her-" "You missed her too. You enter her room every day and call out to her to join us for breakfast, lunch and dinner -" "That was just the day after her wedding -" "And the day after that. You know, mum woke me up yesterday to hurry up because she was worr-", one of my throw pillows hit Davil, I tilt m
