Chapter 59

LUNA POV

The timeless beauty of the sunset captivates my heart. The sky changed into a pale tint of orange. I found myself walking in the sand, feeling its warmth as I prepared myself to welcome the night.

I saw a man in the distance. I recognized him, it was my mate Hector. He was standing staring at the sunset too.

"Hector!" I called his name but he didn't even dare to look in my direction. I'm not sure if he can hear me. I walked closer to him, I want to talk to him, hug him, and tell him how much I love him.

As I approached him, I can see him clearly wearing a simple white t-shirt and loose white pants. He was very handsome.

"Hector! Hector!" I felt the excitement as I run toward him.

I am confused, it seems he can't hear me.

I stood five meters away from him. My feet suddenly stopped and I can't move from where I am standing.

I saw a woman in a white dress approaching him. I felt a stab in my chest. It was Jasmine.

Her hair was long and beautiful as always. This time she's just wearing a simple dress with light make-up on her face.

She hugged Hector from his back. I saw Hector face her and hugged her too. They both looked so happy. I can see it in the way they look at each other. I felt the tears in my eyes seeing my mate with another woman.

"Hector, I'm here," I whispered.

I woke up and I felt the sweat on my forehead. It was just a dream. I looked around. I am in the room with only the lampshade giving light to my room.

I stood up to go to the near table and drink some water. I felt my throat dry and I'm so thirsty.

I slowly approached the window and opened the curtain. It was dark outside. I looked up at the wall clock, it was almost twelve midnight.

I looked outside, but all I can see were the shadows of the trees surrounding the house. I wonder how Enrico lived in this place for the past years. It's sad to be alone and away from the world.

I'm curious about him. I hope Mrs. Fox can tell me more about him.

I am thinking deeply when my eyes caught a sudden movement from the trees.

I don't think it was the wind, it's not windy in the first place. I tried to look and my eyes never left that area. I saw movements again. It was in the bushes.

I felt scared. It could be Lucas or one of his men. Maybe they found me. I swallowed hard, I need to inform Mrs. Fox.

I was about to leave the window when I saw someone emerge. I can't be wrong, it was a man.

"Is that Enrico?" I told myself.

It was already midnight, and he is still out there.

I need to check if it's really him.

I closed the window and went downstairs. I was almost down the stairs when Enrico came in.

He was only wearing his pants. His body is full of sweat. He was stunned to see me and so do I.

"Ahm, you... you went outside?" These were the only words that came out of my mouth.

I don't know what to say. I am just a visitor in his house, and here I am asking him this.

"Yes, I need to run outside. I need to breathe fresh air. The world is quiet at this time. I need to be with nature," he replied.

"Are you not afraid to go out by this time? It's too dangerous out there." I told him.

He smirked.

"Don't worry Luna. I'm already old. I've been in this place for half of my life. I know this place that well." he confidently said.

He was right. This place was his home for years.

"Ahm, thank you for helping me. You don't know me, but you still helped me and Mrs. Fox." I raised my head to look at him.

I saw a different kind of emotion on his face. I can't understand what it is.

"I am happy to see you alive Luna. Don't think about it. Why are you still awake?" he asked.

"I had a bad dream. And then, I woke up. I can't sleep anymore."

"You need to go back to your room Luna. Remember, you need to gain strength. I suggest, you should rest." he convinced me.

I nodded and went back to my room. Before coming inside, I turned to see him entering his room.

It feels strange to talk to him. It's like every word he says is something, well I can't explain.

I shook my head, I've been thinking of a lot of things lately. Maybe Enrico was right. I need to rest, it's already late.

I went back to my bed. The bed was soft and very comfortable.

I was about to close my eyes when I heard the voice in my mind again.

"Luna we are home. This is home." the voice spoke to me.

I sat down and tried to focus. Am I getting crazy?

This voice in my mind has been here in my mind for a while. Maybe this voice has its own life. It was talking to me like it knew me.

"Who are you?" I need to know. Alright, I'm not insane but I think this voice is not just an imagination. This is real. From the first time I heard it when I was in the shower at Hector's mansion, to the time I was about to jump on the falls.

"Hello, Who are you?" I waited for the voice. I tried to close my eyes and concentrate.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Luna, this is home. We are safe here," I felt happy as I heard the voice one more time.

"What do you mean we are home?" I asked in a low voice.

"Look around you. Don't use your eyes, but look with your heart Luna. We are finally home!" the voice said.

"I can't understand. What do you mean?" I am confused. I don't get it.

I waited for a few seconds but I got no response.

"Hello?"

Still no response.

"What the hell! Talk to me! What do you mean by that?" I shouted.

The door burst open and I was surprised to see Enrico. Maybe he was able to hear me.

"Luna, are you alright! I heard you shouting," he hurriedly went closer to me. I can see the worry in his eyes.

I felt ashamed. He might think I'm already insane.

"I can hear a voice in my mind. I don't know what the voice means. The voice has been around quite a while now. I can hear it speaking to my mind," I told him.

"The voice," he said. I looked at him. It seems he knows something.

"Do you know something, Enrico?" I tried to inquire.

"Sleep now Luna," he said as he left me in bed.

He was about to open the door when I spoke.

"Who are you, Enrico? Do you know something about me?" I had the urge to ask him.

I saw him place his hands on the doorknob.

"I will tell you soon Luna, good night," and then he left.
