Chapter 8

LUNA POV

My eyes went wide as I closed my mouth. Is this a dream or I am getting crazy? Two wolves in front of me turned into two beautiful men and of course, they are naked too.

"Please don't kill me. I want to live". I begged.

"I'm Stefan, don't worry we're not yet hungry," one of the men said as he laughed like something was very funny.

"I and Francis were Hector's friends. I think we should not waste time. Our car is on the road. We need to hurry. “He gave me a friendly smile.

I tried to take a step back only to find out that my knees were wounded, and it hurt so much.

How could I ever run away and escape if I can't even walk properly?

I saw Hector approach, and in an instant, he pulled me up and carried me into a bridal position.

"Hector, what are you doing? Bring me down!" I shouted.

But I got no reply. He started to walk and there was nothing I can do.

For almost two hours I spent in a car together with these men, finally, we arrived at a place. Well, it was a big house. The mansion stood there as if the surrounding nature had embraced it, that the flora flowed within it as much as around it. It was made with exclusive features that made it peculiar. I've never been to this kind of house. Is this how rich Hector is? Maybe his parents are millionaires.  As we enter the mansion, I was amazed at its interior. The mansion was all concrete and the tall glass windows gave a view of the mountains. There were huge paintings that hangs on the wall. The Chandelier light captivates my sight as it shines like crystal. This place was enchanting.

A woman suddenly appeared. Her hair is grey and she wears a sweet smile. I think she is in her late 50's.

"Hector, glad you're here. Your father told me to attend to you together with your friends. The rooms are ready and of course the food." the woman said.

"Thank you, Matilda," Hector said as his eyes landed on me.

"Also, please guide Luna to her room". Hector told the old woman.

This woman is Matilda, she looks so nice.

"Got it, Hector," as Matilda leads me the way.

"How were your knees Luna, does it still hurts?" She asked me.

"A little Matilda, I can still feel a little pain," I told her as we slowly walked to a room.

Matilda then opened the door. The room was big and spacious. It was like a princess-themed bedroom. I want to take the moment and dream to be wearing that long lovely princess ball gown. To sleep in a very beautiful princess bedroom like this one. This is every girl’s fantasy but not everyone was able to earn the bedroom of their dreams. But then, some lucky little ladies were able to have their princess bedrooms. Just like me now. I still can't believe that I will be spending nights in this bedroom. This is a dream come true. It just looked perfect. The bed has a castle headboard that has open cubbies on both sides.  I turned to see Matilda smiling at me.

"Please have a sit Luna, I will place cream on your wounds." I felt comfortable as she applies the cream.

"Matilda, how well do you know Hector," I tried to ask her this question to learn more about my kidnapper.

Matilda laughed "Oh, I was a caretaker of this house since Hector was a kid. I am in charge to look after him. I treated him like my own son. Don't worry Luna, Hector is not what you think he is. He is a good man."

I was just shocked. A good man? Did I hear it right?

"I will leave you for a while, Luna, you can have a shower and choose some good clothes in the closet. They are all for you. I will be back later" Matilda assured me.

"Thank you, Matilda," as I tried to make myself comfortable in bed. I saw Matilda leave, I remember the shower that Matilda told me about.

I slowly went to the shower as excitement embraces me. I don't care about the wounds anymore. All I want at this moment is to freshen up and forget about the werewolves I met earlier. I took off my clothes and exposed myself to the water from the shower. The feeling was amazing. I can't believe that I am on the same roof with handsome werewolves. I knew while on our way here to the mansion that Hector was also a werewolf. Stefan told me. I've never thought that I will be kidnapped by a handsome werewolf. A few days ago, I was living a normal life in Ashland. Then I found myself day searching for my best friend Elli. And now, here I am, in the hands of a werewolf man. I tried to compose myself this time. I prayed that Elli is fine. I hope she is safe.

While enjoying myself with the water and soap on my body, I heard a voice. A voice inside my mind. Wait, am I getting insane?

"Luna, Luna," the voice echoed.

"Hello, who is that talking to?" I said as I turned around the shower.

"Luna, your blood. They need your blood. You need to escape. Save your life." The voice was so clear.

"Hello, what do you mean, my blood?" I asked nervously.

"Hello, please answer me", I got no response. What was that all about? Then in an instant, my whole world begin to spin as I heard a loud noise, it was eerie.

My head began to ache, I cried for help.

“Help! Help!”

To my surprise, the bathroom door burst open. I looked up to see Hector in front of me. His face expressed fear and worry. But his face turned red as he looked down at my naked body.
