Chapter 4-Plotting to escape

Amelia's POV…

“Where are you going Luna?" Runa asked as I stood up and moved towards the door.

I furrowed my brows. “I'm thirsty and I want to get water to drink,"

“Okay," she came towards me. “I'll help you with that. Just sit,"

I didn't move and she didn't either. She seemed to be waiting for me to sit before she leaves.

“I can help myself. You don't have to worry about that. You've been up and active all day, I don't want to stress you,"

“No," she said, her voice low. “I'll help you with anything,"

She was so persistent so I gave up trying and sat back down.

She left the room and just seconds later, she came back.

She handed me a cup of water. I took it and muttered a ‘thank you'. I drank from it and the water seemed to energise me more for my plans.

I set the cup on the table next to me, my thoughts spiraling on how to escape.

I stood up and casually walked around the room. I stopped by the door and made to open it immediately, but she was so quick to block me before I could even open the door.

“I'm sorry Luna, but you can't leave the room," she said, standing in front of the door.

I blinked in confusion. "What's that supposed to mean?”

I was annoyed by her actions. I had the freedom to go wherever I wanted.

“If you need something, I can always…”

"I don't need anything,” I cut her off. "I just want to walk about the store and see how preparation is going,”

"I'll ask the servants to come and report to you how everything is coming along. If you want, I'll make them prepare Infront of you,”

I scoffed as I stared at her in disbelief. She was making me angry. She had no right to stop me. I'm her Luna… though Colton hasn't claimed me as his Luna yet. I was only his mate.

"Don't worry about that,” I decided to use a new tactic. “I want to receive fresh air,"

“There's air in here…" she tried to counter.

“Outside," I growled. I could feel the colour of my eyes about to change.

I didn't know why, but whenever I was angry, my eye colour usually changes. Not like the colour of Nyx’s eyes, but a totally different colour. My mom called it fury.

No one knew about it… not even Colton. Only my mother.

I try all the time not to get angry, so people wouldn't know about it. But Runa here, was tempting me.

“I want to get some air outside,"

“I can open up the widows more and you can lean by the window to get some air. it's the same as outside,"

“No," I shook my head. “I've been in here all day. I want to stretch my legs and get some air,"

“I'm sorry," she lowered her head. “Alpha didn't permit me to allow you go out,"

My heart sank. So this was why Colton sent her. To monitor my movements and to make sure that I don't attend the banquet.

Tears stinged at the corner of my eyes and threatened to fall. I raised my head and blinked rapidly, forcing them back in.

“Are you okay Luna? Do you feel unwell?" She asked.

“If I'm your Luna, then you listen to me and do as I said. Let me go,"

“I can't. I only take orders from the Alpha,"

I staggered backwards slightly. Was that what I was? An insignificant mate… whose decision doesn't matter?

Was that what they all thought of me.

I sat down, my head hung low.

“I need some space,"

“Sure Luna. I'll be outside your door," she bowed again and left.

I let it out. I cried my pain out. Was I only by his side to warm his bed? He had to go as far as sending someone to keep me from leaving.

‘Don’t cry. Please be strong for us’ Nyx said, her voice filled with pain.

I sniffled. ‘Yeah. No matter what they think, we can't let them stop us’

I must attend that banquet. I need to see what Colton had planned for Victoria tonight.
